According to the present invention, a plurality of cutting holes are perforated in a folding line of a sealing piece for sealing an opening formed on one side of an envelope, and a cutting thread stretched along the folding line is provided. Both ends are fixed at the corners of both ends of the folding line, and a plurality of excision holes are perforated in at least one place including the cutting thread to form excision pieces that can be excised from the envelope. “Open” characters are displayed across the screen, among the displayed “open” characters, the “open” characters are displayed on the cut piece, and the remaining “luck” characters are displayed on the envelope. And after the excision piece is broken along the excision hole and excised from the envelope, the cutting thread is further pulled up along the cut hole of the folding line to cut the cutting hole. It is an envelope that is opened.

The said structure WHEREIN: The said cut piece is formed in one place of the said corner part.

According to the present invention, a tool such as a cutter is used by cutting an excised piece of an envelope having a cut hole from the envelope along the cut hole and cutting along a fold on one side of the envelope with a cutting thread. It can be opened easily without being cut, and after the cut pieces are divided, the letter “luck” remains among the letters “luck” in the envelope, so that the opener can be informed of the wish to open.

It is a front view which shows an example of the envelope by this invention. (A) In the envelope of this invention, the figure which shows the state which pulled and cut | disconnected the cut piece, (b) is a figure which shows the state opened by pulling the cutting thread | yarn. In the envelope of this invention, it is a figure which shows the various shapes and arrangement | positioning of a cut piece. (A) is a figure which shows the envelope opened with the conventional cutting thread | yarn, (b) is a figure which shows the state which pulled and cut | segmented the cut piece.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, an envelope 1 is formed into a quadrangle by folding a sheet of paper, vinyl, or the like, which is a single body or a composite, like a conventional envelope.

  Of the four sides of the envelope 1, the side to be opened is formed with a sealing piece for folding along the folding line 2 on the back side of the envelope to seal the opening of the envelope 1. A plurality of cutting holes 2a are continuously formed at intervals along the folding line 2 of the sealing piece by a perforation or the like. The folding line 2 is cut along the cutting hole 2a by a cutting thread 3 described later and opened.

  An excision piece 5 that can be excised from the envelope 1 is formed at the corner of at least one end of the side of the envelope 1 to be opened. In order to facilitate excision, the excision piece 5 is formed by continuously perforating a plurality of excision holes 4 in a straight line shape or an arc shape at intervals.

The position of the excision piece 5 is not limited to the corner of the envelope folding line 2 as shown in FIG. 1, but the position other than the corner, for example, the center of the folding line 2 as shown in FIG. It can be formed at any position. The shape of the excision piece 5 may be any shape that can be excised with a finger, as shown in FIG. 3 as well as a quarter circle shape of the corner of the folding line 2 of the envelope as shown in FIG. In addition, shapes such as a semi-circle, a quadrangle, and a triangle can be employed.

The excision hole 4 is perforated in the envelope 1 and the sealing piece in a state where the sealing piece for closing the opening is opened, and in the state where the sealing piece is bent and sealed on the envelope 1 side, the sealing is performed. The excision holes 4 are overlapped, and the excision piece 5 in which the envelope 1 and the sealing piece overlap is formed so as to be excisable. The excision hole 4 may be formed continuously in a straight line or an arc shape, and an arrow hole 6 indicating the dividing direction of the excision piece 5 may be formed so as to straddle the excision hole 4 or in the vicinity thereof. A hole 6 indicating an arrow serves as a Braille character and can be easily opened even by a person with visual impairment.

  A letter “open” is displayed across the excision piece 5 and the envelope 1 with the excision hole 4 interposed therebetween. In the display, among the characters “open”, the characters “open” are displayed on the cut piece 5 and the remaining characters “luck” are displayed separately on the envelope 1 side.

  The cutting thread 3 is stretched along the inside of the folding line 2, and both ends of the cutting thread 3 are fastened to the corners of both ends of the folding line 2. As a result, one end or both ends of the cutting thread 3 are fixed to the cut piece 5 formed at the corner. As the cutting thread 3, a thread having sufficient tensile strength to cut the cutting hole 2 a such as a thread such as cotton or linen, a plastic such as a fishing line, or a metal wire is used.
