STEREOSCOPIC MAILING-CARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9, 1911.

Application filed July 29, 1910. Serial No. 574,460.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it .known that I, HORACE S. OAKLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hyde Park, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stereoscopic Mailing-Cards, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates to mailing cards embodying pictorial features in the form of stereographs, and so constructed that these stereogra-phs may be stereoscopically viewed, my object being to provide an improvement with respect to the formation of the card whereby to promote simplicity and enable the same to be marketed at a comparatively low price.

With this in view my invention resides in the features of construction and arrangement as shown in the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, and in which,

Figure 1 is an elevation of rny invention, in its closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspec tive view thereof in position to View the stereographs. Fig. 3 is a section therethrough on line 33 of Fig. l.

Referring specifically to the drawing I provide a card comprising a main or body portion 10, one surface 10 of which is marked, as shown, to receive a stamp and the addressees name and residence, the opposite surface 1O being for the reception of the correspondence. The other portion 11 of this card forms an integral part of, and is slightly greater in length than, the main portion 10, and is bent against the surface 1O thereof and provided adjacent its free end with a transverse slit 11 to receive a corresponding tongue 10 at the free end of the correspondence portion 10 in order to lock said portions together in face to face relation, thus insuring a card which is prosize nor bulk. The re ceiver of this card will detach the portion 10 from the portion 11, by tearing along their line of fold 12, after removing tongue 10 from slit 11, and then place tongue 10 in a transverse slit 11 centrally of the picture portion 11. The portion 10 may thus be held steadily at right angles to portion 11, and by looking at card 11 with the end of card 10 at the nose, the figures or pictures 11 at each side of slit ll may be stereoscopically viewed. These figures or pictures may, of course, be upon both surfaces of the card 11.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a ca rd comprising a body portion and a picture portion, said portions being folded together, and detachably connected at one of their ends, and means for holding the same in folded position, the picture portion having means for supporting the other portion thereon in position to divide the line of vision when said portion is separated from the picture portion.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a card comprising a body portion and a picture portion, said portions being foldable on each other and adapted to be disconnected at the fold, and the body portion having a tongue at its free end which is engageable with the corresponding end of the picture portion to secure the two portions in folded position, and the picture portion being provided with a slit which, when the two portions are disconnected, is adapted to be engaged by the aforesaid tongue for supporting the body portion in position on the picture portion to divide the line of vision.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HORACE S. CARLEY. lVitnesses LOUISE C. ARENTZEN, MARGUERITE E. BURNS.
