Definitions
- This invention relates to business form assemblies, and more particularly, to such assemblies providing mailer assemblies.
- the invention has particular reference to mailer assemblies capable of being processed in a non-impact printer and subsequently processed including being sealed to be suitable for mailing.
- British Specification No. 1564423 describes an assembly comprising a continuous web with fold lines and adhesive portions to enable the web to be folded and secured together to form an envelope assembly.
- Australian Specification No. 27554/77 describes a combined document and envelope assembly comprising a document flap and a cover flap so that the cover flap may be folded over the document flap and sealed thereto to provide an envelope.
- British Specification No. 809953 describes a continuous web assembly having two supers- paced web portions with perforations to enable the margins to be removed to reveal a returnable printed document and which identifies the recipients.
- Assemblies of the kind specified are not suitable for passing through non impact printers (usually of the laser imaging type) which generate sufficient heat to soften the heat softenable adhesive of the assemblies. If assemblies having such heat softenable adhesive were to be passed through such a printer the assembly would be likely to stick to the internal rollers of the printer and cause disruption.
- the applicants have devised an assembly which overcomes this problem and which utilizes a separate message web and cover web in which the message web bears no adhesive and is capable of being fed through a non impact printer whereas the cover web bears the adhesive for securing the two webs when collated together and heat sealed.
- An object of this invention is to provide an improved business form assembly of at least two webs for collation and sealing into mailer assemblies.
- the invention refers to an improved business form assembly comprising a message web having a message sheet and a cover web having a cover sheet.
- the message sheet has a longitudinal dimension between end edges along a longitudinal axis and a transverse dimension between marginal edges along a transverse axis.
- Marginal lines of perforations extend along the marginal edges fully between the end edges.
- Transverse end lines of perforations extend along the end edges only between the marginal lines of perforations.
- the message cover sheet has a longitudinal dimension between cover sheet end edges equal to the longitudinal dimension of the message sheet and a transverse dimension between cover sheet marginal edges equal to the transverse dimension of the message sheet.
- the cover sheet is superimposed upon the message sheet and has marginal lines of adhesive along the cover sheet marginal edges.
- These adhesive lines extend fufly between the cover sheet end edges and are nearer the cover sheet marginal edges than the message sheet marginal perforation lines are to the message sheet marginal edges.
- Transverse, end lines of adhesive are along the cover sheet end edges, extending fully between the cover sheet marginal lines of adhesive and being nearer the cover sheet end edges than the message sheet end perforation lines are to the message sheet end edges.
- cover sheet marginal and transverse, end lines of perforations are superimposed on the message sheet marginal and transverse, end lines of perforations. The marginal and end lines of adhesive adhere the cover sheet to the message sheet.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention is a business form assembly 4 comprising a message web 1, a cover web 2 and a back web 3.
- the webs 1, 2, 3 have superimposed, spaced series of transverse, margin-to-margin perforation lines 40; and superimposed, marginal feed strips 50.
- the webs 1, 2, 3 provide mailer assemblies hereinafter referred to as mailers, each mailer extending between adjacent perforation lines 40.
- Each mailer comprises a message sheet 5, a top cover sheet 6 and a bottom cover sheet 7.
- the sheets 5, 6,7 are adhered to each other totally about their peripheries that is to say along their margins and across their centers.
- the message sheet 5 is rectangular. It has a longitudinal dimension between a straight upper end edge 8 and a straight and parallel lower end edge 9. It has a transverse dimension between straight, parallel, marginal edges 10, 11.
- the sheet 5 has (and also the sheets 6, 7 have) pin feed holes in the feed strips 50).
- a first message sheet marginal line of perforations 12 extends along and spaced from the first message sheet marginal edge 10.
- a second message sheet marginal line of perforations 13 extends along and spaced from the second message sheet marginal edge 11.
- the lines 12, 13 extend longitudinally, fully between the message sheet end edges 8, 9.
- the marginal edge 10 and line 12 define a first longitudinally extending margin 14 of the sheet 5.
- the edge 11 and line 13 define a second longitudinally extending margin 15.
- a first, transverse end line of perforations 16 extends along but spaced from the end edge 8.
- a second, transverse end line of perforations 17 extends along but spaced from the end edge 9.
- the lines 16,17 extend only between the marginal perforation lines 12, 13.
- the edges 8, 9 and lines 16, 17 define end strips 18, 19 on the sheet 5.
- end strips 18, 19 have longitudinal widths approximately equal to each other.
- the lines 12, 13, 16, 17 define a message area 23.
- the top cover sheet 6 has a longitudinal dimension between top cover sheet end edges 25, 26 equal to the longitudinal dimension of the message sheet 5 between its edge ends 8, 9.
- the top cover sheet 6 also has a transverse dimension between top cover sheet marginal edges 27, 28 equal to the transverse dimension of the message sheet 5 between its marginal edges 10, 11.
- Marginal lines of perforations 29, 30 extend longitudinally along the top cover sheet marginal edges 27, 28.
- the lines 29, 30 define marginal strips 31, 32 on the sheet 6, which have a transverse width less than the width of the message sheet margins 14, 15.
- a first, transverse end line of perforation 16' extends along and spaced from the end edge 25.
- a second, transverse line of perforations 17' extends along and spaced from the end edge 26.
- the lines 16', 17' extend only between the marginal lines of perforations 29, 30.
- the edges 25, 26 and lines 16', 17' define end strips 18', 19' on the sheet 6.
- the sheet 6 has marginal lines of adhesive 33, 34.
- the adhesive lines 33, 34 extend fully between the top cover sheet end edges 25, 26.
- the adhesive lines are joined along the end edges 25, 26 by transversely extending, end lines of adhesive 35, 36.
- the lines 35, 36 are within the end strips 18', 19'.
- the adhesive lines 33, 34, 35, 36 circumscribe the periphery of the sheet 6.
- the adhesive lines 33-36 are a heat sealable adhesive. When heated, with the sheets 5, 6 separated from their webs or not, and the sheet 6 superimposed on the sheet 5, the adhesive adheres sheet 6 to sheet 5, outward of the perforation lines 12, 13, 16, 17 of the sheet 5 and in the margins 14, 15 and end strips 18, 19.
- the perforation lines 12, 13, 16, 17, 29, 30, 16', 17' remain useful to separate the message areas from the margins 14, 15 and end strips 18, 19.
- Pressure sensitive or remoistenable adhesive may be employed as an alternate to the heat sealable adhesive.
- the preferred back cover sheet 7 When the assembly has a back cover sheet, the preferred back cover sheet 7 has longitudinal and transverse dimensions equal to those of the cover sheet 6.
- the sheet 7 also has a pattern of adhesive lines identical to that of sheet 6, and the same reference numbers are used to identify the adhesive lines on sheet 7 as are used on sheet 6.
- the sheet 7 may be a combined second message and bottom cover sheet, and may be a reversed, or turned over, duplicate of sheet 6, without the glassine window.
- the assembly may be fed into a collating and sealing machine with messages preprinted on the message areas.
- the sheets may be automatically collated, the message unit severed and sealed together.
- the message units may be self-contained envelopes with transparent- covered windows, such as windows 37, shown on sheet 6.
- this invention we are able to provide an improved business form assembly which is capable of being printed upon by a non impact printer and yet is capable of having the webs thereof (or the sheets when divided into form lengths) sealed together by a heat sealing operation.
