Abstract
ABSTRACT
BUSINESS FORM
The invention concerns business forms and more particularly such forms designed to provide from a single sheet a combined delivery receipt form/note for a supplier and a sealed document for a customer listing items delivered and an invoice therefor. The business form comprises a sheet of paper (12) divided into three substantially equal panels (17, 18, 19) by first and second fold lines (21, 22) extending between the top and bottom edges. The fold line (21) is formed with perforations to aid easy detachment of the left hand panel (17) which forms a delivery receipt note and which bears transfer material in the form of a carbon patch (26) on its inner surface. The panels (18, 19) carrying adhesive (23) around their free edges and are designed to be printed with details of items being delivered and an invoice therefor and then to be brought together and sealed around their edges to provide a sealed invoice. The customer is intended to sign the outside of the delivery note in an area (32) corresponding to the transfer material so that the signature is transferred through to the sealed document. The supplier's representative then detaches the receipted panel (17) and the customer passes the sealed document to his accounts department.

BUSINESS FORM
This invention relates to a business form and more particularly to such a form designed to provide from a single sheet: a comblned delivery receipt form for a supplier and sealed document for a customer, preferably the sealed document including details of items delivered and an invoice therefor.
One object of the invention is to provide such business forms each formed from a single sheet of paper, for use by a supplier delivering packages to a number of customers, so that on the form for each customer both the delivery receipt note and the sealed document will include details of the items delivered and both will eventually bear an acknowledgement of receipt.
In one aspect the invention provides a business form designed to provide a combined delivery receipt note for a supplier and sealed document for a customer, comprising a sheet of material divided by first and second fold lines into a first panel, a second panel and a third panel, at least one of the first and second panels carrying adhesive around its ree edges such that when the sheet is folded along the first fold line to bring the inner faces of the first and second panels together and the adhesive is actuated they form a sealed document, the third panel being capable of forming a delivery receipt note and bearing no free adhesive, and the sheet being foldable along the second fold line to bring an inner face of the third panel to overlie an outer face of one of the first and second panels, the inner face of the third panel being formed with an area or patch of a transfer material adapted to reproduce an impression made on the outer face of the third panel onto an underlying registering area on said outer face of the first or second panel.
Preferably the third panel, or at least a part thereof including the area or patch, is easily detachable from the second panel, eg by perforations, such perforations normally extending along the second fold line. Preferably perforations are provided around the edges of the panels .
`
designed to form the sealed document, within the lines of adheslve, for easy opening of that document. Alternatively at least part of the adhesive may be of "peel apart"
formation.
With advantage the material adapted to reproduce an impression is a "carbon" patch adhered to the receipt form or "carbon" printed on the form.
A set of such business forms, normally produced in known manner from a continuous web of paper, will be printed wlth standard instructions for completion and use and with the name of the supplier. Each form will then be completed by the supplier with details of items being delivered and the customer's name and address, these details showing both on th~ delivery receipt note and the exterior of the sealed document and with an invoice for those items being printed on or enclosed within the interior of the sealed document.
When the items are delivered the customer is asked to sign for receipt on the outside of the delivery note in the area corresponding with the "carbon" patch. By virtue of the "carbon" patch, this signature transfers through onto the sealed document; the delivery receipt note is then detached from the sealed document and the customer is asked to pass the sealed document to his accounts department while the supplier's representative keeps the delivery receipt note with the original signature (and stamp of the customer if appropriate).
One embodiment of business form, in accordance with the invention, will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings of which:-Figure 1 shows the inner surface of a business form, Figure 2 shows the outer surface of the form ofFigure 1, and Figure 3 shows the form folded and sealed to provide a combined delivery receipt form and sealed customer's document.

paper 12 having top and bottom edges 13, 14 and side edges 15, 16 and divided into three substantially equal panels 17, 18, 19 by first and second fold lines 21, 22 extending between the top and bottom edges. The fold line 21 is formed with perforations to aid easy detachment of the left hand (third) panel 17 (forming a delivery receipt form/note1 from the central second panel 18. The fold line 22 could also ~e formed with perforations to allow easy detachment of the right hand (first) outer panel 19 from the central panel 18.
The panels 18, 19 are intended to form a sealed document and for this purpose they are provided around their edges (except adjacent the fold line 22) with lines of pressure seal adhesive 23 so that when the right hand panel is folded over onto the central panel and the edges subjected to pressure they seal together. Other forms of adhesive could be used in which case adhesive need not extend around the edges of both panels provided it extends around the free edges of the folded document. Lines of perforation 24 are formed inside the lines of adhesive for eventual opening of the sealed document.
The left hand oute. panel 17 is designed to fold over to overlie the outer surface of the right hand outer panel 19. It could be folded the other way to overlie the outer surface of the central panel.
The inner surface 2S of panel 17 bears an area or patch 26 of self-copy/transfer material, eg a "carbon" patch adhered thereto by cold adhesive. Alternatively the patch of "carbon" may be printed on the surface directly or conventional CB/CF coatings formed on the coating surfaces.
This patch will register with an underlying area indicated at 27 on the outer surface 28 of the panel 19.
The inner surfaces 29 of the panels 18 and 19 of a set of forms are preprinted with the name of the supplier and his details and with headings, boxes and instructions for completion of personalised information, such as customer's name, a list of items being delivered and an invoice for those items. The outer surfaces 30, 28 of the panels 17 and . ' ' .
-2~ 3423-453 19 are preprinted with headings and boxes for receiving personalised information such as details of the items being delivered. A box 31 is provided for receiving the customer's name and address details, and a box 32 is provided on surface 30 (coinciding with the area of the patch 26 on the other side of the panel) for receiving the customer's signature, a date and a rubber stamp impression if appropriate. All this information, which is common to all forms, may be printed on each form at the same time as the personalised printing.
In use, each form is completed with personalised details of the items being delivered, an invoice for those items and the customer' name and address details. This is normally done by a computer controlled printer printing on both sides of the form. The document is then folded and sealed by activating the adhesive. When the items are delivered the supplier's representative, making the delivery, gets the customer to sign to acknowledge receipt in the area ~2 and the signature is automatically transferred onto the area 27 on the outside of the sealed document. The delivery receipt note is then detached along the perforations of the fold line 21 and retained by the supplier's representative while the customer is asked to deliver the sealed document to his accounts department for processing of the invoice.
With such a business form the invoice does nQt need to be separately prepared and delivered and the invoice itself bears an acknowledgement of receipt by the customer.
Any of the panels may be subdivided, for example by lines of perforations, to provide, for example a return stub to be included with payment of the invoice.
A further, non adhesive bearing panel, could be connected by a (tearable) fold line to the delivery receipt panel so that, after printing with information of the items delivered (but not the price) it can be folded under the delivery note and could provide a further list e.g. the items for use by the customer's stock controller. Such an additional panel could either be provided with a cut-out in the area corresponding to the patch or further transfer ; . .
