Improvements in Tickets for Railways and the like.
1 MAXIMILIEN VEZZOBI of 15 Place du Statut, Turin, in the Kingdom of Italy,
Manufacturer of Railway Tickets 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 :-
This invention relates to tickets for passengers by railways tramway ships and
the like, by means of which tickets advertisements or useful informations or
announcements may be made public. The invention is applicable to single journey
tickets and also return tickets and consists in forming in the said tickets for the
greater portion of their length a pocket for the reception of a sheet or sheets of
paper or the like, having printed or marked thereon the advertisements notices or
the like to which it is desired to give publicity.
The pocket in each ticket according to this invention is made to extend from one
cad of the ticket to beyond the half of the said ticket and not to the whole length
of the ticket but preferably to about two-thirds of the length thereof so that tickets
constructed according to my invention may be printed for use as single journey
tickets or as return tickets.
In the pocket thus formed in the ticket, may be placed a sheet or sheets of paper
marked with advertisements or the like and each sheet may contain one or more
advertisement or the like and may be folded if required to correspond to the size
of the pocket. I will describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
node of constructing a railway ticket according to my invention from which its
application to analogous tickets will be readily understood.
Fig. 1 is a blauk of suitable thickness of card or paper to form the body portion
of the ticket it being cut to the required size and shape by any suitable means.
Fig. 2 shows a piece to be secured in the ticket at the part to which the pocket,
does not extend.
Fig. 3 shows the external covering on which the usual notices are printed, and
Figs. 4 and 5 are perspective views of the completed ticket.

To make the ticket, the blank a Fig. 1 is folded along the centre where indicated
by dotted line b, and the piece c, Fig. 2, which should be in length equal to about
one third the length of the ticket, is secured by suitable adhesive material, at one
end, between the sides dd' the parts of the said sides extending between the piece
and the opposite end, remaining separated or unattached except where the blank is
folded. The outer covering e is theu secured to the body part, by pasto or other
suitable adhesive material, the portion being first secured to one of the sides (d)
and the projecting parts or wings y folded round the ends, and caused to adhere to
the opposite side (d) so as to close the ends of the two sides d, after which the
part of the covering is folded over and secured to the side and the parts g to
complete the construction of the ticket, as shewn in Fig. 4 with a pocket extending
about two thirds the length of the ticket for the reception of a sheet or sheets of
paper having thereon advertisements, notices, or the like.
i
The outer covering may (as preferred) be printed on before it is applied to the
body part of the ticket or when the ticket is completed, and for return tickets a
line of perforations is made in the ticket, just beyond the pocket as shewn at k in
Fig. 5, to facilitate the separation of the parts of the ticket. Notches are made
n the sides of the pocket portion of the ticket to facilitate the withdrawal of the
sheet or sheets of advertisements or the like from the pocket.

Alrawings.
