`'UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
IMPROVEMENT IN PASSENGER-TICKETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,264, dated December 23, 1862.
.To aZZ whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, NATHAN D. MORGAN, of Mount Pleasant, in the county of West Chester and State of New York, have inventeda new and improved mode of combining a passenger-ticket or series of tickets, tobe used upon public conveyances, with an inclosed card or slip of pa-per, upon which may be printed the words and figures of a policy of iusurance against accident or upon the life of the passenger for the trip, an advertisement, notice, or any other printed or illustrated matter which it may be desirable to communicate; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in constructing and combining one or more passenger-tickets in the formofan envelope or wrap per with the words and igures of the ticket printed upon one side thereof, and fastened together with some adhesive substance upon the other side, with a card or slip of paper containing printed or illustrated matter of interest to the public or of value to the passenger, inclosed within the same, and with an aperture in the side ot' the ticket, through which the inclosed card or slip, or some conspicuous portion thereof, shall attract the attention of the holder, and suggest the removal and full examination of the same, the ticket to be open at both ends, so that the card or slip of paper inclosed may be withdrawn as easily and in the same manner as a letter may be Withdrawn from its envelope when both ends of the latter have been cut, and thus retained by the passenger as evidence ofthe insurance eifected thereby for the trip, or for reference to the advertisement or other matter printed upon the same.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
To con structa ticket-say, three inch es long by one and one-half inches wide when completed, and which is about the size of ordinary passen ger-tickets-I take a piece of paper of suitable color, texture, and thickness, about three and one-fourth inches square, which I stamp with a cutter similar to the common envelope cutter or knife, and which makes an aperture of any desired shape-say about three-fourths of an inch in length by about one-fourth of an inch in Width in the center and crosswise of the paper when trimmed toits proper size-as shown at A of Figure l in the accompanying drawings. This cutter at the same time trims the paper to the size of three inches in width by three and one-fourth inches in length, and it also cuts at the same time a quarter-circle from each corner of one and the same side of the paper of the radius of threefourths of an inch, as shown at B B of Fig. l. For larger, smaller, or other shaped tickets, or for a series of tickets attached together, all the corresponding cuttings increase, decrease, or are altered in due proportion. I then print upon the paper, in an oblong form of the desired size of the ticket, as stated above, and reaching from side to side, the appropriate words and iigures of the ticket, surrounded by marginal lines, as shown at C G of Fig. 1. I next print upon a card or slip of paper of the size and shape ot' the proposed ticket the Words and illustrations of an advertisement, an insurance policy, or such other matter as may be desired, and which is so printed as to exhibit a conspicuous word or illustration upon a space in the center and lengthwise thereof, of the same shape, position, and size as the aperture in the paper hereinbefore described, as shown by Fig. Lastly, I fold and wrap the paper first described herein and shown by Fig. l around the card or slip of paper shown by Fig. 2, and lap and fasten the edges thereof together, as shown in Fig. 3, with some adhesive substance, in such manner as to accomplish these two results: First, so that the printed matter ofthe ticket shall all remain in view on one side thereof, and the conspicuous word or illustration upon the card or slip of paper inclosed may be fully seen though the aperture in the same, as shown by Fig. 4; secondly, so that the marginal lines of the printed ticket and the cor responding outlines of the card or slip of pa per inclosed shall be parallel each to each.
Vha-t I claim as my invent-ion, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of a new and improved form ot' passenger-ticket to be used on railroad-cars, steamboats, and all other public conveyances for passengers, with a card or slip of paper printed or illustrated, or both,
so that the former shall inclose the latter as easily removed therefrom and retained by the with an envelope or Wrapper, with an aperpassenger, substantially as hereinbefore set ture in the side of the ticket through which forth.
the inclosed card or slip of paper shall exhihi t some conspicuous word or illustration to attract thc attention ot the passenger holding fitnessesz the same, and also open at the ends, so that G. HILTON SCRIBNER, the inclosed card or slip of paper may bei CHS. FRASER.
