Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an envelope ob­tained from a continuous web by cutting the latter into equal lengths, folding these lengths into panels of shorter length, and bonding these panels to one another.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an en­velope of the kind indicated above, with which it is possible to effect a part of the bonding so as to form an open bag into which it will be possible to insert documents, the envelope then being closed by the remain­der of the bonding operations.
  • the present in­vention provides an envelope of the kind indicated in the preamble of the present text, which has the particu­lar feature that it comprises: - a first panel intended to receive an original address on a first face and carrying on a second face a horizon­tal line of adhesive close to each of its longitudinal edges; - a second panel carrying on its second face a longitud­inal line of adhesive close to each of its longitudinal edges, the lines of adhesive on the two panels being superposed and bonded to one another after folding, and the second panel being slightly shorter longitudinally than the first panel and being connected to the latter by a fold line, and - a third panel, smaller longitudinally than the second panel but longer than the difference in length between the first and second panels, said third panel being joined to the first panel on the opposite side to the second panel by a fold line and carrying on its second face a transverse line of activatable adhesive situated close to that transverse edge of the third panel which is opposite to the second panel.
  • Figure 1 shows a length of web, of which only the second face is visible.
  • the length is divided by two fold lines 4, 5 into three suc­cessive panels: a central or first panel 6 is situated between the two transverse fold lines 4 and 5, a second panel 7 is situated between the first transverse fold line 4 and a cut line 3, and the third panel 8 is situ­ated between the second transverse fold line 5 and the other transverse cut line 3 bounding the length.
  • lines of drive holes 9 intended for driving and feeding the web through a printer and through the various treatment stations.
  • Two lines of adhesive 10 extend parallel to the long­itudinal edges of the panels 6 and 7, further inside said panels than the drive holes. These lines of adhesive cross the first fold line 4, but stop a short distance from the second cut line 3 bounding the panel 7 and from the fold line 5.
  • the lines of adhesive 10 con­sist of an adhesive material which adheres to itself through pressure and/or heating.
  • the panel 8 carries a transverse line of adhesive 11 situated a short distance from the cut line 3.
  • This line of adhesive consists of an adhesive of the type activatable by moisture, of the type found on commerci­ally available envelopes.
  • the length of the first panel 6 exceeds by a few millimeters that of the second panel 7, which is almost twice that of the panel 8.
  • the envelope After insertion of a document into the bag, the envelope can be closed by folding the third panel 8 about the fold line 5, in the direction of the arrow 12.
  • the third panel 8 thus forms a closure flap, which is applied against the first face, visible in Figure 2, of the second panel 7.
  • the line of adhesive 11 will first have been activated by moisture, and it then adheres to the panel 7.
