Definitions

  • This invention relates to continuous stationery in the form of a series of interconnected envelopes.
  • the invention relates to such a series of envelopes provided with tractor strips at opposite longitudinal edges of the series to facilitate automated printing of the envelopes, for example in a printer controlled by a word processor.
  • the present invention aims at reducing or obviating the above described problems, and is mainly characterised by the fact that the individual envelopes are each provided with integral auxiliary flaps which are secured to the respective tractor strips and are readily detachable from the envelope to detach the envelope from the strips.
  • the series can be of relatively simple construction, and the individual envelopes may have a largely conventional construction, e.g. with the front and rear panels of each envelope having folded-in flaps on one panel to which the other panel is secured.
  • the envelopes are not marred by residual traces of exposed adhesive, nor by having portions of tractor strip adhering to them.
  • Figure 1 shows a finished envelope from the rear, ready to receive its intended contents.
  • the envelope is of integral construction and comprises a front panel 10, having opposite side flaps 11 over which a rear panel 12 is adhesively secured.
  • the envelope has a top flap 13 with a latexed area 13A and the rear panel has a corresponding latexed area 12A.
  • a fold line or crease 14 delineates the top flap 13 from front panel 10, and another crease 16 is formed in the rear panel to define a rear panel margin 12B which is free of the side flaps 11.
  • the envelope seen in Figure 1 is one of many formed from a continuous blank illustrated in Figure 2, in which the blank is viewed from the front, i.e. in which the front face of the front panel is visible.
  • auxiliary flaps 12C are formed integrally with the rear panel 12, being delineated by linesof perforation 17.
  • Figure 2 also shows areas llA destined to be gummed to secure the rear panel in place, and transverse lines of perforations 18 by which adjacent blanks are interconnected, as indicated at (12B) and (13).
  • the cut continuous blank is then partially folded by turning down the side flaps 11, and turning down about fold line 19 the back panel 12 which is there secured by gum placed on the areas llA.
  • the panel margin 12B is then folded back at fold line 16 to overlie the adjacent latexed area 12A. This partially folded condition is seen from the front in Figure 3.
  • tractor strips 21 are adhesively secured to the projecting auxiliary flaps to complete the series, as shown in Figure 4 which is a view from the rear of the envelopes.
  • the series is then formed into a concertina, or zig-zag stack by folding about fold lines 14 in alternate directions and is now ready for use in a serial printer controlled, for example, by a word processor.
  • the envelopes thus formed are of generally conventional appearance especially as viewed from the front.
  • the edges of the rear panel 12 which carried the auxiliary flaps are set in slightly from the side edges of the front panel 10, and are accordingly not evident from the front.
  • envelopes looking like conventional envelopes, they have a similar degree of robustness which suits their use with machinery for stuffing them with documents. Furthermore, stuffing can be effected before or after the individual envelopes are separated from each other.
  • the series of envelopes is formed from identical blanks, one of which is shown in Figure 5, in which the rear surface of the front panel 10 is visible. Integral with the front panel are side flaps 11 and a bottom flap 10A having areas 11A and lOB, respectively, on their front surfaces, on which gum will be spread prior to assembly. Separated from the top edge of front panel 10 by a fold line 14 is a top flap 13 having a latexed area 13A and a fold line 13B.
  • a rear panel 12 is connected to the edge of top flap 13 along a perforated line 18, and has auxiliary side flaps 12C connected to it by perforated lines 17.
  • a rear panel margin 12B carries a latexed area 12A and is delineated from the rear panel by an optional fold line 16.
  • the front and rear panels 10 and 12 of each blank are destined to form corresponding panels of respective adjacent envelopes in the series.
  • tractor strips 21 are secured to the auxiliary flaps 12C as before, and finally, the assembly is folded up in zig-zag manner about fold lines 13B.
  • the envelopes are separated by tearing off the flaps 12C and tearing along the perforated lines 18.
  • the finished envelopes have an appearance and robustness similar to conventional envelopes.
  • tractor tapes can be of a different material from the material of which the envelope is made.
  • latexed areas adhesives other than latex may be employed if desired, such as a gum which requires wetting to activate it. In some cases, the areas in question need not be latexed or gummed at all, for example if a stuffing machine is to be used which applies the necessary adhesive.
