Claim 7

An envelope-like container designed to prevent accidental loss of checks, paper currency and the like, having a transverse width greater than the contents it is designed to receive, said container comprising an integral sheet of material having a central panel with a bottom flap and first and second side panels extending from the opposite side edges of said central panel; said first side panel having a top flap and overlying the central panel above the bottom flap, said first side panel having a slit commencing from its upper edge and extending along a portion of its length, said slit being substantially parallel to and spaced from the side edge between said central and said first side panel and spaced a distance greater than the transverse width of said contents from the opposite side edge of said first side panel; said second side panel overlying said first side panel and having a free side edge, the free side edge of said second panel terminating at a point inwardly of said slit to expose said slit; means for sealing said second panel to said first side panel near the free side edge of said second panel; means for sealing said bottom flap to said second panel whereby a first pocket is formed between the central panel and said first side panel, said pocket being partially open along one wall thereof and open at its top, said first and second panels defining a second pocket open at its top; means for releasably sealing said top flap to said second side panel to close the top of said second pocket after coins have been inserted therein.

Claim 8

The container of claim 2 in which the upper portion of said central panel is extended to provide backing support for the contents to be deposited in said container.

Claim 9

A one-piece blank for making an envelope-like container having a sealable coin pocket and an open top pocket for checks, currency and the like, said blank comprising a central panel with a bottom flap and first and second side panels said side panels being connected to said central panel by parallel fold lines on opposite sides of said central panel, said bottom flap extending solely between said parallel fold lines and below the lower edge of said first and second side panels, said panels having a transverse width greater than the transverse width of the contents said pockets are designed to receive, said first side panel having a top flap and a slit commencing at its upper edge between said top flap and the adjacent fold line and extending along a major portion of the length of said first side panel, said slit being substantially parallel to and spaced from the fold line between said central and first side panel, said slit being spaced from the edge opposite said fold line by a distance greater than the transverse width of the contents said open top pocket is designed to receive; said first side panel being without a bottom flap; said central panel being extended beyond the upper edge of said first side to provide added backing support for the contents of said open top pocket.

Claim 10

A one-piece blank for making an envelope-like container having a sealable coin pocket and an open top pocket for checks, currency and the like, said blank comprising a central panel with a bottom flap and first and second side panels said side panels being connected to said central panel by parallel fold lines on opposite sides of said central panel, said bottom flap extending solely between said parallel fold lines and below the lower edge of said first and second side panels, said panels having a transverse width greater than the transverse width of the contents said pockets are designed to receive, said first side panel having a top flap and a slit commencing at its upper edge between said top flap and the adjacent fold line and extending along a major portion of the length of said first side panel, said slit being substantially parallel to and spaced from the fold line between said central and first side panel, said slit being spaced from the edge opposite said fold line by a distance greater than the transverse width of the contents said open top pocket is designed to receive; said first side panel being without a bottom flap; said central panel being extended beyond the upper edge of said first side to provide added backing support for the contents of said open top pocket.
