PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Postal Case, Packet, or Envelope for Coins and other
Articles.
We PERCY LLEWELLYN FISON, of The Square, Ripon, Bank Manager, and
HARTLEY ILLINGWORTH of Bingwood Terrace, Ripon, Clerk, both in the County
of York, do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed :—
In transmitting articles by post there has long been felt a want of some handy
case or packet in which to secure coins, keys, samples of jewellery and other
valuable articles, there having hitherto been no convenient method of packing
them so that the contents were secure and at the same time not easily discernible
by anyone handling the letter, the urgency of this need is evidenced by the fact
that articles are constantly being sent by post loose in their envelopes, thus giving
the postal officials the trouble of making them secure, whilst at the same time the
nature of the package is made undesirably prominent.
1. Our cases consist of one or more folds which can be made of cardboard,
leather, wood, indiarubber, cloth or any other suitable material.
2. The folds can have a covering or lining of a lighter material such as muslin,
silk, paper or any other suitable material, which is glued or otherwise attached, in
such a way that it can be divided into one or more pockets or compartments,
opening in any direction, and which are provided with or without lids or coverings.
3. The cases are also made of folds one or more in number of cardboard, or any
other suitable material without a lining or covering, but having slits in any
position, or slips of paper, muslin, cloth or any other suitable material gummed or
otherwise, ready attached or to be attached by the sender.
4. The cases can have their contents secured by string, tape, elastic or any other
suitable material.
5. The cases can be made in one or more folds which can have a pocket or
compartments on one or more sides of the folds.
6. The cases can be made any size or shape according to requirements, suitable
for enclosure in any envelope, or in such a form as to be case and cover combined,
the folds can also have flaps at every edge to stand up or lie flat so as to make the
package into box shape if necessary.

5 An Improved Postal Case, Packet, or Envelope for Coins and other
Articles.
We, PERCY LLEWELLYN FISON Bank Manager and HARTLEY Illingworth,
of Bingwood Terrace, Ripon, Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
› ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to the manufacture, formation or construction of a new
and novel form of card, envelope, or packet adaptable for receiving coins or small
n

page_text: articles of jewellery or other articles of value, the said card, envelope or packet
being intended to be transmitted by post.
In order that our invention in such articles. may be more clearly understood we
will make reference to the accompanying sheets of drawings which illustrate
several forms of our improved coin carrying envelope.
Fig. 1 shews two cards A and B covered or partially covered with thin muslin or
other like fabric in which there are pockets C for containing coins or other articles
of value. The two cards A and B are provided with flaps D which may be folded
over the cards, into the form of an envelope as shewn in Fig. 2 for the purpose of
being transmitted by post or otherwise, the said pockets C insuring that the coins
are kept separate from each other and that they do not get loose and shake about.
This coin carrying card however, may if required, be made without the flaps D.
Fig. 3 illustrates two stout cards A and B one of the said cards being recessed
or countersunk at G into which coins may be placed, afterwards the adjoining
card A may be turned over or folded onto card B as shewn in cross section Fig. 4
where H represents a coin supposed to be in position. This recessed card may be
put into an envelope for transmission by post or otherwise.
Fig. 5 at A represents a card like to that in Fig. 3, but in this case the said
card in addition to being countersunk at G is provided with flaps D which may be
folded over as shewn in dotted lines whereby a separate envelope would be
dispensed with.
In Fig. 6 we have shewn a card or two cards I and J secured together as shewn
in section Fig. 7. In this arrangement there are pockets C formed in the edges of
the card in which to place coins H or other articles of value as clearly shewn in
the drawings.
Instead of securing one card I upon another card J as shewn in Fig. 7 they may
be made from paper pulp where the top and bottom cards form an integral part of
each other as shewn in Fig. 8.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
A card, packet or envelope having one or more pockets or recesses for the
reception of coins or other articles, such card, packet or envelope being formed
and constructed in the manner illustrated in the drawings and described herein.
Dated this 22nd day of March 1894.
