Description
Patent Application : SAFE 1VIAIL
Inventor : Bibhuti Bhusan BARDHAIV
Page - 2 (of 4) Background of Invention In view of the recent scare with envelopes, packages, etc., being laced with Anthrax germs along with various related hoaxes, recipients of any envelopes, packages, etc., are understandably and duly wary or unwilling to open the envelopes, packages, etc..
The present invention will help reduce tainting of the contents of any envelope, package, etc., if the said enveloping or packaging are done and certified as being so by the staff of a courier/shipping company itself.
The present invention will also help reducing any anxiety or fear of any recipient of any envelope, package, etc., if these are opened first by another expert in handling any possibly laced mail.
This will help allay the anxiety or fear of the recipients of such envelopes or packages, etc., that the contents may be laced or contaminated with any apparent and visible unwanted substance.
Patent Application : SAFE M.vL
Inventor : Bibhuti Bhusan BARDHAN
Page - 3 (of 4) Descriution of Invention Various sizes of envelopes, packaging shells, etc. are made by a courier/shipping company and held in safe keeping at the outlets of the courier/shipping company with integrated printed labels outside of the said envelope, packaging shells, etc.
certifying the contents being visually examined by the staff of the company to be free from any apparently unwanted and visible contaminant and adding the signature of the company staff and the seal/stamp of the company to such a certificate on the outside of the envelope, packaging shell, etc..
This will help assure the recipient of the said envelope, package, etc. that the contents are most likely free from any apparent and visible contaminant.
A sample certificate integrally printed on the outside of the said envelopes, packaging shells, etc., may be as follows: "Certified to be not containing any apparent and visible contaminant/extraneous substance. Signed (Staff of ~ [Company Seal/Stamp]"
There may be some peelable seals of the company pasted at some appropriate places (such as gummed or tied edges) on the outside of the envelopes, packaging shells, etc. for any added security.
There may also be a kind of "on-site" service with enveloping or packaging (materials to be mailed) at the premises of the sender by the courier or any other stand-alone company in the above manner (along with certifying and sealing the envelope, package, etc., with signature and seal, etc., as described above).
Also, a kind of "reverse" of the above services can be provided by a courier or any other stand-alone company, that is, with the prospective recipient's advance consent, the said courier or any other stand-alone company will open any in-coming mail of the recipient at a safe place (such as the company's own office or a lab or any other place designated by appropriate authority to be "safe" and the envelope, package, etc., being opened by staff trained for the purpose (taking all the necessary precautions in case the envelope, package, etc., happened to be tainted with any harmful material, including noxious germs). In case any noxious contaminants are detected or suspected by the said trained staff in such a circumstance, the material will be automatically handled (or processed) in an appropriate manner as authorized by an appropriate authority, say, a government disease control centre. Otherwise, the envelope, package, etc., or their contents will be delivered to the recipient certified as safe, that is, free from any apparent or visible contaminant or extraneous substance.
