Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to envelopes, and more particularly, concerns bindable envelopes for use in an electrographic printing machine or the like.
  • the front and back panels are glued together along their side edges and front panel is scored at 8' to form a closure flap 9.
  • the envelope can be printed with an address, a return address, and bound in a book in the finisher of the Figure 3 machine.
  • the envelope cannot be removed from the book without being destroyed. This is because the particular binder of Figure 3 works via a mechanical bind.
  • the spine adhesive in the binder tape flows into the air spaces/pores of the paper.
  • the bind is formed by the adhesive cooling and setting in the pores.
  • Envelopes interspersed with other sheets within a book form an excellent bind because they have a lot of air spaces between them and their neighboring sheets for the adhesive to fill.
  • a new envelope design is needed that allows removal from a book without tearing the envelope into pieces.
  • the present invention contemplates a new and improved bindable envelope that is adapted to be easily removed from a book.
  • the envelope includes a sheet of paper folded to form a base line and a base portion of two layers with the base portion extending away from the base line a predetermined distance to form a second base line.
  • the base portion is glued and includes a perforation immediately removed from the second base line so that the envelope can be torn away from a book without tearing the envelope.
  • printer section 8 comprises a laser type printer and for purposes of explanation is separated into a Raster Output Scanner (ROS) section 87, Print Module Section 95, Paper Supply section 107, and Finisher 120.
  • ROS 87 has a laser, the beam of which is split into two imaging beams 94.
  • Each beam 94 is modulated in accordance with the content of an image signal input by acousto-optic modulator 92 to provide dual imaging beams 94.
  • Beams 94 are scanned across a moving photoreceptor 98 of Print Module 95 by the mirrored facets of a rotating polygon 100 to expose two image lines on photoreceptor 98 with each scan and create the latent electrostatic images represented by the image signal input to modulator 92.
  • Controller 10 is preferably a known programmable microprocessor, exemplified by the microprocessor disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,166,558.
  • the controller 10 conventionally controls all of the machine steps and functions described herein, and others, including the operation of the document feeder 20, all of the document and copy sheet deflectors or gates, the sheet feeder drives, the finisher, etc.
  • the controller also conventionally provides for storage and comparison of the counts of the copy sheets, the number of documents recirculated in a document set, the desired number of copy sets and other selections and controls by the operator through the console or other panel of switches connected to the controller, etc.
  • Base portion 32 is glued and includes a perforation 34 immediately removed from second base line 33 so that the envelope can be torn away from a book without tearing the envelope, the two layers of the base portion remaining glued together above the perforation so that the detached envelope is still closed along its base.
  • the envelope has a front panel 35 suitable for applying indicia thereon by the printing apparatus of Figure 3, or other imaging apparatus, and a rear panel (not shown) of substantially the same rectangular proportions as the front panel that is glued along side edges to the front panel to form a pocket.
  • a flap 36 is connected to the front panel 35 and extends above a fold line 37. The flap is adapted to be folded over the back panel to close the envelope.
  • envelopes 30 are placed into either feed tray 112 or 114 with copy sheets with images transferred thereto at 106.
  • the images are fused at 116 and the envelopes forwarded to finisher 120 where the envelopes along with copy sheets are put together as a book and stitched at 122.
  • a thermal binder 125 is used to adhesively bind the prints into a book.
  • the envelope is easily torn away from the book without damage to the envelope by tearing the envelope along the perforation line. The recipient can then use the envelope removed from the book to send information back to an indicated destination.
  • the envelope includes a perforation along its bottom edge which allows for easier removal in contrast to current envelope designs which, if bound into a book, cannot be removed without damage.
