Definitions

  • This invention is related to a card carrier form to which is mounted at least one credit card and the like for mailing and, particularly, to such a carrier form in which the card is mounted automatically by mechanical, nonadhesive means.
  • the carriers each have a pair of parallel, preweakened fold lines which divide the carrier body into three substantially equal sections: a leading end section, middle section and a lagging section.
  • the cards are mounted to the middle section and the carrier is folded along the fold lines to fold the leading and lagging sections over opposite sides of the middle section.
  • One of the end sections bears the card owners name and address, and the folded carrier form matches the size of a window envelope in which the carrier form is "stuffed" or inserted.
  • the name and address on the end section is held in alignment by the envelope for viewing through a translucent window of the envelope.
  • the pockets are formed by cuts extending along diagonal lines which disadvantageously requires the use of oscillating arms to open the pockets during insertion.
  • the entire card is inserted through a single edge slot and both edges are wedge trapped by the ends section on opposite sides of the middle section of the body.
  • a mailing form for carrying at least one card comprising:
  • each of the pair of parallel slot sections includes an inside slot and an outside slot; the distance between the outside slots of the pair of parallel slot sections is sufficiently greater than the dimensions of a card to enable receipt of multiple cards;
  • the card carrying mailing form includes another pair of rectilinear slots in the one section of the body like the one pair of rectilinear slots to hold at least another card;
  • the cross slot section extends between adjacent ends of the pair of parallel slot sections ; and card slots are formed from substantially closed cuts.
  • a preferred embodiment of a card carrying form, or carrier, 80 which has a rectangular planar body 82 made of resilient paper which normally maintains a planar configuration.
  • Carrier 80 has a leading preweakened fold line 84 and a lagging preweakened, fold line 86 to divide the planar body 82 into three substantially equal rectilinear sections: a leading end section 88, a middle section 90 and a lagging end section 92.
  • the cards are held in pairs of cooperating pockets 98 and 100 by folding the front side of the leading end section 88 over the front side of the middle section 90 and the cards 30.
  • the address field 94 and the code field 96 are not viewable after the carrier is folded as shown in Fig.
  • the carrier 80 since, the carrier 80 has the name and address field 94 and the code field 96 located on the front side of the lagging end section 92 for the address and name and code to be viewed.
  • the back side of the lagging end section 92 is folded over the back side of the middle section 90 with the front side of the lagging end section 92 facing downwardly, as shown in Fig. 1A. Consequently, in order to have the name and address field 94 and the code field 96 facing upwardly after folding, the carrier form is flipped over prior to stuffing into an envelope with an upwardly facing window.
  • the opposed corner pockets 98 and 100 are mirror images of one another and are separated from each other by sufficient distance to hold at least one card therebetween, and are preferably capable of holding two cards, with a Leading card edge 102 adjacent fold line 84.
  • the corner pockets 98 and 100 are formed by a pair of rectilinear slot 104 and 1106, respectively.
  • Each rectilinear slot 104 and 106 has a pair of straight slot sections: an outside slot section 108A and 108B and inside slot sections 110A and 110B which are located parallel to each other and cross slot sections 112A and 112B transversely extending between the pair of parallel spaced slot sections 108A and 110A and 108B and 110B, respectively.
  • the distance between the outside parallel slot sections 108A and 108B and the spacing between parallel slot sections 108A and 110A, and between 108B and 110B, enables receipt of multiple cards within the pockets 98 and 100 in stacked overlying relationship.
  • the cross sections 112A and 112B extend between adjacent ends of the pair of associated slot sections 108A and 110A and 108B and 110B to form an opening for receipt of the corner of the card 30.
  • cross sections are opened, i.e. moved laterally away from the plane of the planar body preferably by means of pushing portion 82' of the planar body intermediate the inside sections 110A and 110B.
  • the rectilinear cuts 110A and 110B are parallel to the direction of movement of the carrier form 80 during automatic insertion. This advantageously enables the opening of the pockets passing the carrier form 80 over a roller with opposite end edges located adjacent the inside parallel cuts 110A and 110B.
  • a roller with edges adjacent the slot section 110A and 110B is preferably employed to open the pockets 98 and 100.
