Definitions
- the invention relates to a window envelope with two flat sides forming the front and back thereof and with an address window made of transparent material, the address window being at a distance from the edges of the window envelope.
- Envelopes are usually flat, pocket-shaped structures with two flat sides of rectangular or square outline, which form the front and back and are connected to one another at their edges by a fold.
- the edges are connected by means of spacer strips, which can also be folded.
- the window envelope is open on one of the edges.
- window envelopes consist of opaque paper material, cardboard or plastic fiber material. They are provided with a transparent address window on the front. The address window is limited to the address area of a letter and has a considerable distance from the edges. It therefore only shows the addressing that is entered in the address field of the letter.
- No. 1,387,717 A discloses an envelope for the reception of registration cards which contain data from hotel guests.
- the envelope is cut out in the two lower edge areas so that the data written on the upper edge of the registration card can be recognized.
- the cutouts can be covered with a transparent material.
- the section therefore has a function similar to that of an address window in a window envelope of the type mentioned at the beginning.
- DE 1 791 075 U discloses an envelope which is partially or completely transparent in order to make stamps included in the envelope visible to the outside.
- an address label is glued to the transparent film. So it is not a window envelope, in which the address field is transparent, so that the address written on the inserted letter is visible from the outside. Rather, it must the address can also be given on the address slip.
- Terrorist activities have recently become known, which consist in the sending of biological pollutants in powder form in anonymous letters, for example anthrax.
- anthrax Upon contact with the powder, whether as a result of leaks in the envelope or when opening it, the persons involved with such letters become infected and often become life-threatening. Deaths have also become known.
- window envelopes there is practically no possibility of reliably recognizing whether a letter contains such a powder.
- the invention has for its object to design a window envelope so that it can be recognized whether it contains a powdery substance.
- the material of the address window is extended to one of the edges and continues at least partially congruently on the back of the window envelope.
- the basic idea of the invention is therefore to extend the transparent address window, which is present in any case, in at least one direction in such a way that an edge region is transparent. In this way, powder can also be recognized, the color of which does not contrast with the opaque areas of the flat sides of the envelope. It is particularly advantageous that the production of such a window envelope does not generate any additional manufacturing effort, so the costs are not higher than with a normal window envelope.
- the other flat side has a pattern on the inside. In this way, the contrast between the powder and the flat side and thus the visibility of the powder is significantly improved.
- the transparent areas of the envelope can consist of a transparent film or a transparent paper, the transparency must be such that a powder contained in the envelope can be seen.
- Figure 1 shows the front of a window envelope
- FIG. 2 shows the back of the window envelope according to FIG. 1.
- the figures show a window envelope 1 of the usual format with a front 2 and a back 3 made of paper.
- the front 2 has a symmetrically arranged tes, rectangular field 4, which consists of a transparent film. It extends from the lower edge to the height of the upper edge of a normally available address window 5 (shown in dashed lines), thus including the address window 5.
- the field 4 continues on the back 3 as field 6 and also consists of transparent material, in the same configuration and arrangement as on the front 2.
- the fields 4, 6 are therefore congruent, so that the window envelope 1 is transparent in this area. It is understood that there is the possibility that the field 6 is reduced compared to the field 4, so that the field 6 is only partially congruent with the field 4.
- the fields 4 and 6 can also be reduced in width to the width of the address field 5.
