- HOMER R. GOODELL, OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
NAMEJLATE FOR EYEGLASS-GASES AND THE LIKE.
I specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed January 27, 1915. Serial No. 4,733.
To all whom it may concern:
useful Improvements in I, HOMER R. GOODELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and Name-Plates for of which the Be it known that Eyeglass-Cases and the like, following is a specification.
This invention relates to name plates for eyeglass cases and the like, and has as its object to provide a novel pocket adapted to receive a card or slip bearing the name and address of the owner and, if desired, the opticians prescription, or the card may bear other data if the receiving pocket is employed in connection with some other article, as for example, the like. i
The object of the invention is to so construct the pocket that the name card may be readily inserted therein and will. be eifec tually protected both against loss and against accumulation of dust and dirt and yet may be readily viewed.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a pocket of the character described which may be readily manufactured from any suitable transparent material and at a low cost and which may be conveniently and readily applied to the interior of an eyeglass case in such manner fere withthe use of the case in the ordinary manner.
' In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of an eyeglass case provided with the device embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view therethrough. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the pocket illustrating the name card partly inserted therein.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the accompanying drawings by the same reference characters.
In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the eyeglass case which may be of any desired form and construction and 2 indicates the lining thereof. Either in the bottom or top of the case, as may be desired, the lining is cut to provide a sight opening 3 of a size and shape to properly expose the name card, and parallel to one wall of this opening 3 the lining is formed with a slit 4 through which the name card serted and removed.
a hat band, pocket-book or as not to interwill register with may be im The pocket embodying the present invention and designed to receive the name card is preferably formed from a blank of transparent celluloid, although other transparent material may be employed if desired. In,
its initial form the blank is rectangular and of greater length than width and it is folded upon itself along a transverse line, as indicated at 5, so as to provide a wall 6 and a wall 7 which constitute the walls of the pocket. The fold 5 is not formed-at a point midway between the ends ofthe blank, and as a result the wall 7 is of less length-than the wall 6, or, in other words, the end of the wall 6 projects, as at 8, beyond the end" of the wall 7. In order to connect these walls and hold the blank in folded condition, small rivets 9 are fastened through the corners of the wall 7 and-through the wall 6 as clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings. These rivets 9 are headed in such manner that the two walls will be spaced apart a slight distance so as to permit of the ready insertion of a name card and yet so frictionally contact the face and back of the card as to prevent its displacement. In arranging the pocket within the eyeglass case, the pocket is disposed with its. wall 6 lying against the inner surface of the bottom of the case and with its wall 7 exposed at the opening 3, the edges of the lining. surrounding the opening overlapping the edges of Patented Oct. 12,191 5- the said wall 7 a short distance as clearly mechanical fastening means, and it will further be held by reason of its confinement by the lining surrounding the opening. In arranging the pocket within the case it is so positioned that the free edge of the wall 7, or, in other words, the mouth, of the pocket, the slit 4: in the lining. It will now be understood that a name card, indicated at 10 in the drawings, may be readily inserted end first through the slit 4 and into the mouth of'the pocket and slid into the pocket until it is properly arranged with respect to the opening 3, As before stated, the walls of the pocket bear frictionally against the ace and back of the name card and consequently the card ill be securely held against accidental dis- )la-cement. projecting end 8 of the wall 6 not only affords additional attaching area in securing 11-. Will be understood that are the pocket in place within the case and beneath the lining, but its surface which is presented toward the wall 7 serves as a smooth guiding surface for the end of the name card as the cardis inserted, and in removing the card it afi'ords a smooth guiding surface for the finger-nail.
The pocket embodying the present invention may be, as before stated, employed upon that band, pocket-book, or, in fact, any article liable to become lost or misplaced, and this without any modification of its structure.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
As a new article of manufacture, the combination with anarticle to be identified having a lining provided with a sight opening and adjacent the opening with a slit, of a name card pocket formed from an integral 1 blank of transparent flexible material, the
blank being substantially rectangular in form and being folded along a line laterally displaced from a point midway between the ends of the blank whereby to form the walls of the pocket, one of the said walls being of greater length than the other and projecting beyond the mouth of the pocket, and means securing the corners of the shorter wall to the longer wall, the said pocket being inserted beneath the lining of the said article to be identified with the shorter wall of the pocket exposed beneath the sight opening in-the lining and with the projecting end portion of the longer wall of the pocket extending beneath the said slit.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
