PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Envelope or Packet for Containing Coins and other
Valuables.
We, PERCY LLEWELLYN FISON, of The Square, Ripon, in the County of
York, Bank Manager, and HARTLEY ILLINGWORTH, of Bingwood Terrace,
Ripon, aforesaid, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to prior Letters Patent granted to us on the 18th day of
November 1893, No. 22,087. In constructing our present improved envelope or
coin carrying case we form a double pocket in one flap, one pocket to receive notes
and the other pocket stitched or cemented vertically for the reception of coins
and other valuables. On another part of the inside of the envelope we secure by
gum or other means a card but it is only attached to the envelope on one side and
which is perforated. A letter or other communication may be written on one or
both sides of the said card which on a person receiving such an envelope the said
perforated card may be torn off and filed in the same manner as an ordinary
letter.
According to another method we make use of a cloth lined envelope such as
those issued at post offices or other suitable envelope and in the lower flap we
secure one or more pieces of muslin, parchment or other suitable material, gummed
or otherwise fixed at certain distances apart to the said flap, so as to form pockets
for the reception of coins. By forming these pockets in a cloth lined envelope
the coins cannot move about and be displaced from their position as is now.
the case.
Another method of forming the pockets or receptacles for the coins consists in
placing vertical ribs on one of the inner flaps of the envelope. The ribs are
placed sufficiently far apart as to receive coins and an elastic or other band placed
horizontally over the vertical bars for the purpose of preventing the coins
escaping, but we may dispense with the horizontal bands and make the vertical
ribs under-cut on the sides so as to receive the edges of coins whereby they will be
prevented from escaping. The vertical bars may be sunken in card board or the
said bars may be formed separately and secured by gum or other means.

page_text: 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 prior Letters Patent granted to us on the 18th day of
November 1893, No. 22,087.
In constructing our present improved envelope or coin carrying case we form a
double pocket in one flap, one pocket to receive notes and the other pocket
stitched or cemented vertically at intervals for the reception of coins and other
valuables. On another part of the inside of the envelope is a card perforated at
one side thereof, the perforated strip being secured to the envelope by gum or
other means.
A letter or other communication may be written on one or both sides of the
said card which on a person receiving such an envelope may be torn off or
detached from the perforated gummed strip and filed in the same manner as an
ordinary letter.
According to another method we make use of a cloth lined envelope such as
those issued at post offices or other suitable envelope and in the lower flap we
secure one or more pieces of muslin, parchment or other suitable material gummed
or otherwise fixed at certain distances apart to the said flap so as to form pockets
for the reception of coins. By forming these pockets in a cloth lined envelope
the coins cannot move about and be displaced from their position as is now
the case.
Another method of forming the pockets or receptacles for the coins consists in
placing vertical ribs on one of the inner flaps of the envelope. These ribs are
placed sufficiently far apart as to receive coins and an elastic or other band placed
horizontally over the vertical bars for the purpose of preventing the coins
escaping, but we may dispense with the horizontal bands and make the vertical
ribs under-cut on the sides so as to receive the edges of coins whereby they will be
prevented from escaping. The vertical bars may be formed by cutting away a
portion of the thickness of the cardboard, into which cut portion the coins may be
passed, or the said bars may be formed separately and secured by gum or other
means.
In order to explain our improved envelope or packet, we will make reference to
the annexed sheets of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein
Fig. 1 is a combined envelope, writing card and coin receptacle, A representing
the flaps of the envelope, B the sheet of writing paper perforated at C, whilst D
is a pocket for the reception of bank notes, and E are another set of pockets for
containing coins, these latter pockets being stitched or otherwise secured, as
indicated in dotted lines F. A person receiving a combined envelope and packet
may tear off the sheet B and file it in any ordinary and well known manner.
In Figs. 2 and 6 we illustrate an ordinary form of cloth lined envelope such as
those issued by the Post Office_authorities, and in combination with such cloth
lined envelopes we form pockets E to receive coins.
In Fig. 3 we shew how we may attach to the lower flap of the envelope,
vertical bars or ribs G, and also elastic horizontal bars H which will prevent the
coins from falling away or being displaced, but in Figs. 4 and 5 we shew how the
vertical bars G may be under-cut to receive the edges of the coins.
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-
Firstly. An envelope or packet consisting of flaps A note paper B in combination
with one or more pockets D and E, all combined as illustrated in Fig. 1.
Secondly. The formation of pockets E in what is commonly called a post
office envelope in manner shewn in Figs. 2 and 6.
Thirdly. In an envelope or packet where one of the flaps is provided with
ribs G as shewn in Fig. 3.

page_text: Fourthly. In an envelope or packet where one of the flaps is provided with
under-cut ribs G as shewn in Figs. 4 and 5.
