ENVELOPE-CARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 478,825, dated July 12, 1892. Application filed March 26, 1891. Serial No. 386,542. (No model.) Patented in France December 31, 1890 No. 210,547.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, REMY SINN, residing at No. 5 Rue Mazagran, in the city of Paris, Department of Seine, in the Republic of France, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Envelope-Cards for Showing Patterns and Samples for WVearing-Apparel, &c., of which the following is a specification, and for which I obtained a French patent, No. 210,547, dated December 31, 1890.

The envelope-card can be made of any suitable material, such as paper, celluloid, or metal, and the object is to display goods in the form of made-up wearing-apparel, such as shirts, waists, or other articles.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of an album-card, showing goods therein in the form of a night-shirt. Fig. 2 shows the card before it is folded and pasted.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates the front or main portion of the card having the outline of a folded garment cut in it. As here shown, the cut-out portion is designed to represent a shirt. From the edges of the opening in the part A various integral strips a extend inward and serve to delineate portions of a garment, and also serve to brace the card or tablet material..

B is a backing, here shown as integral with the part A and adapted to fold against the part A, the fold being at the line a b. Obviously by placing a piece of goods between the two parts it will be seen through the opening in the part A.

The part A is provided at its top and bottom and one side edge with flaps c d e, which may be turned down upon the back of the part B and pasted or otherwise secured thereto when the parts A B are folded together. The flaps c d e may be provided on one side with any desired adhesive material.

An opening D is cut in the part B, so that the thickness and quality of material may be ascertained.

' On the part B the price of goods and other information may be printed, as indicated.

I do not confine myself herein to the precise form shown and described and themanner of making the device, as it may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention. For instance, the part B may be separate from the part A and secured as a backing by other means than the flaps.

Iam aware that it is not new to so construct a box or envelope thata particular pattern of goods may be shown therein. Neither is it new to shape a piece of goods in the form of a garment in miniature and attach it to a support, and such I do not claim.

Having described my invention, what I claim is A display card or tablet consisting of a main portion having an opening through it indicating the outline of a garment, and integral strips of the card or tablet material extending inward from edges of the opening, said strips serving to delineate portions of a garment and also serving to brace the card or tablet material, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 3d day of February, 1891.

REMY SINN.
