2 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PHONOGRAPl-I RECORD ALBUM COVER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Phonograph record jackets are normally kept in albums. The present invention is intended to serve as an album in itself as it so securely houses a record as to completely shut out all dust and yet the record is readily taken out or just as easily put in. It is made up entirely of two pieces of cardboard. one slidable over the other. Each piece is folded upon itself and glued to form a pocket. the open end of the one sliding over the other to form a closed receptacle. Flaps are turned inward on one and outwardly on the other to interlock and hold the two pieces together when loading or unloading a record. lndicia may be imprinted on the main piece. partly covered by the other of the two pieces which allows a developing exposure as the two pieces move farther apart.
These and other features, objects and advantages will be apparent from the annexed specification in which:
FIG. I is a plan view of the two pieces forming this invention as die cut. scored and glued prior to folding. FIG. 2 is an elevation showing both pieces after folding. but before slipping one over the other. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the invention. closed and containing a record. FIG. 4 is a view of the device shown in FIG. 3 but in open position. FIG. 5 is a section taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 3; and FIG. 6 is a similar section, but with the jacket open.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now more particularly to the drawing. a piece of cardboard is cut and scored as shown in FIG. 1, to provide a front panel 11 and a rear panel 12. Front panel II has side glue bearing flaps I3 and I4, and an end extension 15 in the form of a segment of a circle. A flap l6 completes the piece which flap is bent outwardly later. A second piece of cardboard is shown in FIG. 1 which is cut and scored as shown to provide a rear panel 17 and a front panel 18. Front panel 18 has side glue bearing flaps l9 and 20 and is cut out at 21 along an arc complimentary to the segment 15 of panel 11. A flap 22 is designed to be bent in so as to engage with outwardly bent flap 16.
The pieces are assembled as follows: Panel 11 is folded over panel I2 with flaps I3 and I4 folded inwardly so that glue on the flaps engages the inner side of panel 12 and forms a pocket. Flap I6 is folded outwardly. Panel 18 is folded over panel 17 with flaps I9 and 20 folded inwardly to engage the inner side panel 17. This presents the condition shown in FIG. 2. A record 24 is normally encased in the jacket as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Assuming a record to be contained in the jacket and the jacket closed as shown in FIG. 5. If it is desired to remove the record. user will pull the piece formed of parts 17. I8 and 22 so as to slide it away from the other piece. Such action results in the condition shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 6 from which it is readily seen that the record 24 may be easily taken out of the jacket. It will be noted additionally, that the piece 17, I8. 22 is not completely free of the other as the flap 22 has hooked under flap I6. The cut-out 2] permits the piece I7, 18. 22 to assume the position shown in FIG. 6 despite the presence of a record 24.
One feature of this invention is that a design or pic ture may be printed on panel 1] part of which is covered up in the condition shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. and will be revealed in the condition of FIGS. 4 and 6. Unusual graphic effects are thus obtainable. One such is suggested. In the closed position there is shown a picture of a boy. When the jacket is opened it is seen that the boy has an apple on his head.
While there has been described what at present is considered the preferred embodiment of the invention. it will be appreciated that various changes and alterations may be made therein without departing from the essence of the invention.
What is claimed is:
l. A phonograph record jacket comprising first and second pocket portions. each of said pocket portions having an open side, the open side of said first pocket portion slidably receiving therein the open side of said second pocket portion in overlapping relationship;
said first pocket portion having a top panel and a bottom panel. an inwardly turned flap formed upon said bottom panel and extending along the open side thereof;
said second pocket portion having a top panel and a bottom panel, said bottom panel having an outwardly turned flap formed thereon extending along the open side thereof. each of said top panels being completely planar and having a free edge along the open side of its respective pocket.
said inward and outward flaps engaging one another when said pocket portions are slid apart and said free edges of the two top panels being exposed in spaced apart relationship to allow access to the interior of said second pocket portion.
2. A phonograph record jacket as set forth in claim I wherein a portion of each panel of said first pocket portion overlaps part of each corresponding panel of said second pocket portion, a design formed upon each of said top and bottom panels such that a first design is composed when said pocket portions are slid together and a second design is composed when said pocket portions are slid apart.

Claims (2)

1. A phonograph record jacket comprising first and second pocket portions, each of said pocket portions having an open side, the open side of said first pocket portion slidably receiving therein the open side of said second pocket portion in overlapping relationship; said first pocket portion having a top panel and a bottom panel, an inwardly turned flap formed upon said bottom panel and extending along the open side thereof; said second pocket portion having a top panel and a bottom panel, said bottom panel having an outwardly turned flap formed thereon extending along the open side thereof, each of said top panels being completely planar and having a free edge along the open side of its respective pocket, said inward and outward flaps engaging one another when said pocket portions are slid apart and said free edges of the two top panels being exposed in spaced apart relationship to allow access to the interior of said second pocket portion.
2. A phonograph record jacket as set forth in claim 1 wherein a portion of each panel of said first pocket portion overlaps part of each corresponding panel of said second pocket portion, a design formed upon each of said top and bottom panels such that a first design is composed when said pocket portions are slid together and a second design is composed when said pocket portions are slid apart.
