Description

  The present invention relates to a reciprocating envelope.

  As a conventional reciprocating envelope, there is one in which a perforation is provided along the longitudinal direction of the flap so as to divide the flap into a reply portion continuous to the envelope body and a forward trust portion on the front end side (for example, Patent Documents) 1). This reciprocating envelope can be sealed and sent at the reply part at the time of reply by the person who cuts and opens the flap at the perforation when the recipient receives a seal at the outgoing credit part of the flap. It can also be used as an envelope.

Utility Model Registration No. 3125718

  The reciprocating envelope described in Patent Document 1 can contribute to resource saving because one envelope can be used in a reciprocating manner. However, when the flap is cut and opened at the perforation, the envelope is the envelope body at the trusted portion. Since it is affixed to, there was a problem that it might be difficult to cut at the perforation.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocating envelope that can be easily cut at a perforation when opened.

  In order to achieve the above object, a reciprocating envelope according to the present invention is a reciprocating envelope having an envelope main body and a flap continuously provided on the envelope main body, and the flap includes a reply part and a forward credit part. The reply portion is continuous with the opening of the envelope body, and the outgoing credit portion is continuous with the reply portion on the side opposite to the opening side and is separated from the reply portion by a cutting perforation. And having a recess having a valley at one or both ends of the perforation at the edge of one or both of the reply portion and the outgoing credit portion.

  The reciprocating envelope according to the present invention is used as follows. First, at the time of outgoing mail, it is sealed with the outgoing credit portion of the flap and sent out. The recipient receives the perforation between the outgoing credit part and the reply part and cuts and opens the flap. At this time, the perforation is easily cut by starting to open from one end of the perforation that becomes the valley of the recess. After opening, since it can be sealed with the reply portion of the flap when replying, it can be used as a reply envelope.

  In the reciprocating envelope according to the present invention, the concave portion may be formed on the outgoing credit portion side, on the return portion side, or both. The recesses are preferably provided at both ends of the perforation. The flat shape of the flap is not limited to a trapezoid or a triangle, and may be any shape. The outgoing credit part and the reply part may be divided into any shapes by perforations as long as they have a shape that can be sealed at the time of outgoing and return. The perforation is not limited to one, and a plurality of perforations may be provided between the outgoing credit portion and the reply portion. In this case, the envelope can be used not only for sending and receiving but also more times. Moreover, it can make it easier to cut | disconnect by providing a multiple parallel closely. When there are a plurality of perforations, it is preferable that a recess is provided for each perforation.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the reciprocating envelope which is easy to cut | disconnect with a perforation at the time of opening can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a reciprocating envelope according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the reciprocating envelope 1 has an envelope body 2 and a flap 3.

  The envelope body 2 has a vertically long rectangular shape and has an opening 2a along the upper edge. The envelope body 2 has a label 11 on which a postal code, an address, and a stamp pasting position are printed on the surface 2b.

  The flap 3 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, and is continuously provided on the surface 2 b of the envelope body 2 along the opening 2 a of the envelope body 2. The flap 3 is composed of a reply portion 3a and an outgoing credit portion 3b. The flap 3 has a pair of recesses 3c at the edge of the reply portion 3a. The reply portion 3 a is provided on the side of the envelope body 2 of the flap 3. The reply portion 3 a is elongated and has a predetermined width, and is continuous with the opening 2 a of the envelope body 2. Double-sided tape 12 for sealing the back surface is affixed to the reply portion 3a. The outgoing credit portion 3 b is provided on the front end side of the flap 3 so that the reply portion 3 a is sandwiched between the outgoing credit portion 3 b and the envelope body 2. The outgoing credit portion 3b is elongated and has a predetermined width, and is continuous with the reply portion 3a on the side opposite to the opening 2a. The outgoing credit portion 3b is divided by a reply portion 3a and a cutting perforation 3d. The perforation 3d is formed in a straight line. A double-sided tape 13 for sealing the back surface 2c is attached to the outgoing credit portion 3b. Each recess 3c has an acute angle, and the positions of both ends of the perforation 3d are valleys.

Next, the operation will be described.
The reciprocating envelope 1 is used as follows. As shown in FIG. 1C, first, at the time of outgoing mail, the flap 3 is folded to the back surface 2c side of the envelope body 2, and the double-faced tape 13 is used to seal the outgoing mail 3b before shipping. The person who has received it cuts and opens the flap 3 at the perforation 3d between the outgoing credit portion 3b and the reply portion 3a. At this time, since the pair of recesses 3c are provided at both ends of the perforation 3d, it is easy to cut the perforation 3d by starting to open from one end of the perforation 3d that becomes the valley of any of the recesses 3c. It has become. The recessed portion 3c causes the forward credit portion 3b to protrude outward from the reply portion 3a at both ends of the perforation 3d, creating a step between the reply portion 3a and the forward credit portion 3b. When this is done, even if the outgoing credit portion 3b is affixed to the envelope body 2, it is easy to put a finger or the like between the reply portion 3a and the envelope body 2 and to easily cut the perforation 3d.

  After opening, when replying, the flap 3 can be folded to the back surface 2c side of the envelope body 2 and sealed with the reply portion 3a using the double-sided tape 12, so that it is also used as a reply envelope. be able to. Thus, since the reciprocating envelope 1 can use a single envelope in a reciprocating manner, resources can be saved. Since the reciprocating envelope 1 is easy to cut the perforation 3d by the recess 3c, it is possible to prevent the cutting position from deviating from the perforation 3d to prevent the flap 3 from being chipped or the envelope body 2 from being broken. It's easy to do.
