Filed:

Appl. No.:

09/706635

Inventors:

Vincent Niedfeld - Bellmore NY 11710

Assignee:

Vincent Niedfeld - Bellmore NY

International Classification:

G09F 100

US Classification:

4012406, 40630, 40638, 4066109

Abstract:

A money pocket adapted to be selectively fastened to the internal surface of a greeting card is provided. In a first embodiment, the money pocket includes a sheet of material having front and rear surfaces, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges. A continuous or discontinuous adhesive bead or strip is located adjacent the bottom and side edges. The adhesive strip is covered by a cover strip to prevent the adhesive from inadvertently becoming stuck to another object. In use, the cover strips are removed from the adhesive strip(s) and the back surface of the money pocket is secured to the inner surface of a greeting card. Since there is no adhesive adjacent the top edge of the money pocket, the top edge defines an opening to a pocket into which money or checks can be securely positioned. Alternately, the money pocket may include first and second sheets of material which together define a pocket. Adhesive is positioned on the back sheet to facilitate attachment of the money pocket to the internal surface of a greeting card.
