ALMON E. HALL, OF WILLIAMSTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS.

COIN-MAILING DEVICE.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, ALMoN E. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at llfilliamstown, in the county of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Coin-I/Iailing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a coin-mailing device, and has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive form of device whereby coins of different denominations may be secured against movement for safe transmission through the mails.

he invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which :H

Figure l is a plan view of the device as it appears prior to use. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a portion of thie same on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is an edge view.

The device comprises an oblong rectangular sheet l of tough flexible paper or other suitable material, the body of which is punched to form projections Q extending from one of its sides. These projections are arranged in longitudinal and transverse rows and are preferably formed by crossed cuts or incisions 3, providing V-shaped projections in squares, the projections extending from the sides of the squares. Through the nature of the material of which the sheet is made, these projections are rendered yielding and provide a roughened surface of l flexible spurs or points. The sheet is adapted to be folded longitudinally on the central score or weakening lines 4 to form connected rSpeciication of Letters Patent.

leaves 5 and 6. The free plain longitudinal edge of one leaf is gummed, as shown at 7, so that it may be secured t0 the corresponding edge 8 of the other leaf, so as t0 hold the roughened sides of the folded leaves in contact.

The coin to be held is laid upon the roughened face of one leaf and the leaves folded and secured to confine the coin between them. The flexible projections on opposite sides of the coin will then enter the depressions or intaglio portions of the coin and thus hold the coin from shifting. The device may then be inserted in an envelop and mailed with perfect safety, as the coin will be securely retained. As will be apparent, the device is, therefore, not only effective for the purpose, but may be supplied at a low cost.

I claim As a new article of manufacture, a coin mailing device comprising an oblong rectangular sheet of paper having a medial longitudinal weakening score, whereby it may be folded upon itself to form leaves, said sheet having the major extent of its surface perforated, forming projections upon one side of the sheet and leaving an imperforate longitudinal marginal portion along the outer edge of each sheet, one of said marginal portions being gummed for attachment to the other, whereby the leaves may be secured in folded connection.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
