Systems, the envelopes can be addressed personally, However, they must be kept personally with an appropriate one Bring the letter together and put the letter in the envelope are inserted »In order to master the problem that the letters are inserted into wrong envelopes, are the letters are normally inserted by hand «If an automatic inserter is used, then it must Machine speed reduced for you and the operator must constantly check this process, ura sifVer sii go that the letter "and the envelopes in" 3er run in the correct order «This creates what is required to join the letter and envelope Significant increase in time required «Furthermore, the waste of letters and envelopes is due to the separate systems high * An interruption in the letter or letter path means that the corresponding part of the main line must be eliminated. Also caused aie need to introduce the bulky double layer The web and loosely attached covers often result in an inhibition and consequently a web break and thus a loss on both envelopes and letters. One common system that is required is the envelope along a perforated line of weakness, which includes the fold-out or the Lssch of the letter xuaschlege, of which Separate the web, the rough perforated edge of the flap is visible to the recipient what the Disadvantage has the consequence that the letter is recognized as printed matter

With the integrated Uraschlagsystem, the letter and envelope are in one piece. «The letter is folded into the envelope and has to be separated from the envelope by the person to whom it is addressed ₇ upon receipt Edge left open, or it is. one perforated Kaate provided

to da · Open and facilitate the removal of the letter from the envelope. " When opened, the letter and the envelope look almost like the "Victory Mail" from World War II. Such a letter has similar disadvantages as the letters with window envelopes selected above, since the individual recipient recognizes it as a promotional letter and is accordingly an advertising medium of considerably less value is "

The invention provides a combination of a letterhead with an envelope in one piece, characterized by a first sheet, which forms the part of this system, and a soft sheet, which ends with the first sheet along a transverse line - is circular, which can be notched or perforated to facilitate folding, which will be discussed in more detail later _r where the second sheet is the cover part of the system bile st _o The second suction has a transverse line. the one front side of the envelope

for railways and for computer controlled expression technique is the combination of letterhead and related envelope in the form of a continuous Web printed. The opposite longitudinal edges of the web can be provided with punched guide holes be responsible for cooperation ir.it spiked rollers or -rolls of the printing system controlled by the computer are necessary to personalize the letterheads and envelopes and to facilitate the with high Speed is used with continuous feed.

In connection with such a high-speed feed, one embodiment of the invention in turn comprises, as a combination, a plurality of the individual combinations of letterheads and associated envelopes of the type described above, these individual combinations being connected to one another along a transverse line and the Transverse line at an end of the first arc remote from the first transverse line and at an end of the second arc,. that is away from the third transverse line, lies "

The system of the present invention overcomes the problems associated with continuous envelope systems because the letters and envelopes are part of an integrated system, that is, neither manual nor manual collation of letters and envelopes. Requires the help of automatic insertion devices »Furthermore, the system according to the invention offers all the advantages of a personally held letter. The letter lies separately in the envelope, and the envelope is addressed on the outside. This is such a personal touch in connection with the computerized printing techniques available to us. is highly desirable ". For example, the recipient of a letter is clearly encouraged to open and read such a letter before" as he would otherwise not do without further ado "
