Abstract
Abstract A coupon bearing label includes a pair of coinciding similar panels joined along their bottom edges by a fold line and along their side borders by a suitable adhesive, and tongues project upwardly from the panels and are spot or line joined by a suitable adhesive. The back panel is cemented to a receptacle and the face panel has score lines or lines of weakening delineating a separable rectangular coupon, the bottom score line coinciding with the fold line. In an alternative construction, the back and face panels are joined along a pair of their side edges by a fold line and an intermediate panel is delineated from the opposite edge of the back panel by a fold line and is sandwiched between the face and back panel. The free side border of the face panel is separably joined to the underlying border of the intermediate border by adhesive. Separable rectangular coupons are delineated by score lines on both the face and intermediate panels. The panels carry any desired information.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
240 words
In combination with a receptacle having a wall, a label and detachable coupon device formed of a unitary blank and including a rectangular back panel and a rectangular face panel superimposed on and substantially coinciding with said back panel and delineated therefrom by a fold line, each of said panels having information printed thereon, means including a layer of adhesive separably joining at least one pair of borders of said panels, said panels being provided with mutually overlapping outwardly extending tongues, and an adhesive joining said tongues at a point inwardly of the outer edges of said tongues, the rear faces of said back panel and said tongue extending therefrom being adhered to said container wall and said face panel having formed therein lines of weakness delineating a plurality of edges of a section separable from said face panel, wherein said fold line is along the bottom edges of said panels and said tongues project upwardly, and said separable section is of rectangular configuration with its top and side edges delineated by said lines of weakness extending into the fold line, and including an intermediate panel extending laterally from said back panel opposite said face panel, and delienated from said back panel from a fold line, said intermediate panel being sandwiched between said face and back panels, and the outer side border of said face panel being separably joined to the overlying border of said intermediate panel by said adhesive.
