Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is characterized in that the opening of an envelope can be sealed very easily, the seal can be closed and released at least twice, and The present invention relates to a postal envelope that is made of a transparent material so that communication information on a sheet of paper inserted inside the envelope can be read from the outside of the envelope.

[Traditional postal envelopes and their problems]

Although various postal envelopes have been proposed in the past, the reality is that most of these conventional postal envelopes are constructed using opaque materials as the envelope material. Therefore, it can be said that it is very convenient as a mail envelope when you do not want others to read your communication, but it can also be used as a mail envelope when you do not want others to read your communication. Not suitable for envelopes. In particular, as is well known today, when much of the correspondence is handled by computers or word processors,
Since addresses, etc. are printed on the same card or paper at the same time as prescribed communication information, I would like to save the work involved in writing addresses, etc. on envelopes by directly using the printed addresses, etc. In the case of a postal envelope made of the above-mentioned opaque material, it is impossible to read the address printed on the card or paper from the outside of the envelope. In order to solve this problem, a postal envelope 11 provided with a so-called transparent window 10, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, has come to be widely adopted.

However, in the conventional postal envelope 11 provided with such a transparent window 10, in order to form the transparent window 10, the envelope paper 1 is first
It is constructed by opening a window 10a in 1a and then attaching a transparent material 10b (often made of cellophane material) to the window 10a (see Fig. 3), so the manufacturing process is not complicated. Unfortunately, the cost of each envelope is very high and uneconomical, and since the envelope is constructed as described above, the adhesion state of the periphery of the transparent material 10b attached to the window 10a is extremely poor, so that the leading edge of the paper A to be inserted is There was a problem in that the paper A was caught on the periphery of the poorly adhered transparent material 10b, making it very difficult to insert the paper A.

Therefore, in order to improve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional method, the entire envelope 20 was integrally molded from synthetic resin, and the transparent window 21 was also molded at the same time by taking advantage of the characteristics of the synthetic resin. However, it can be said that such a synthetic resin envelope 20 has solved the problem of the envelope 10 mentioned above, which was caused by the poor adhesion of the transparent material tab and the paper getting caught when inserting the communication paper. The drawback of the envelope 20 is that in order to form the transparent window 21, the envelope portion is molded using a transparent material on the basic synthetic resin that makes up the entire envelope 20, and then an opaque paint is applied to the surrounding area except for the portion that will become the transparent window 21. At present, 22 is applied or coated. Therefore, the cost of a postal envelope with such a configuration is also very high.

Also, the biggest drawback of both envelopes 11 and 20 is that the transparent windows 10 and 21 mentioned above do not match the address printed on the inserted address card or paper A, so if a call is made carelessly and the address is unknown. It will be treated as mail, and you will be forced to send the message again, and you will have to pay the postage fee twice.

[Means and effects for solving the problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances. In addition to forming the glue margin to extend, the envelope itself is
is made of a transparent material so that the communication information on the paper inserted into the envelope can be directly read from the outside of the envelope through the transparent material part, and the paper on which the communication information is written can be folded at least in two. At the same time, a predetermined through hole is formed in one of the folded pieces so that only the predetermined communication information written on the other piece, that is, the printed address, can be read through the through hole, and there is no need for glue. By using a simple sealing structure, the postal envelope promotes labor-saving in the prescribed correspondence processing, eliminates accidents such as undeliverable mailing due to unknown addresses, etc., and is easy to produce and extremely inexpensive. This is what we are trying to provide.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, one embodiment of a postal envelope according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

1 in FIG. 1 is an envelope body, and the envelope body 1 is, for example, integrally molded as a whole from a transparent synthetic resin material, and the inside of the envelope can be seen through from the outside.s2
A and 2b are glue margins formed to extend along the periphery of the opening 1a of the envelope body 1, and a predetermined adhesive 3 is applied to opposing surfaces of the glue margins 2a and 2b. , opening 1
When sealing a, it can be bent in one direction, either the front or the back. Reference numeral 4 denotes a mount with a window 4a that is inserted into the envelope body 1. On the mount 4, a number frame 4b for writing the recipient's postal code, etc. is printed, and when using it, predetermined communication information is written. Only the address 5a printed on the printed paper 5 and printed at a predetermined position on the paper 5 can be read from the outside of the envelope body 1.

Since the envelope body 1 described above is constructed entirely of a transparent synthetic resin material, if the addressee 58, etc. is printed at the same time as the communication information using a computer or word processor, the card or card on which the communication information, etc. is printed It is sufficient to simply insert the paper 5 into the envelope main body 1 as it is, and therefore, it is possible to omit the work of writing the addressee 5a, etc., and it is possible to achieve a significant labor saving in communication work. Furthermore, since the above structure employs the mount 4 with the window 4a formed therein, only the addressee can be displayed on the outside of the envelope main body l, and therefore communications that are to be kept secret can be sufficiently protected.

In addition, the above envelope body 1 has two glue margins 2a in the opening 1a.
and 2b are formed to extend, so for example, when transmitting for the first time, use one side of the glue section 2a, and use the other side's glue section 2b.
is folded into the inside of the envelope through the opening 1a and left unused, and when reusing, the used glue portion 2a is reversely folded into the inside of the envelope through the opening 1a, and the
Because it is possible to take out the glue allowance part 2b that was not used by folding it inside a and use it to seal the specified seal.
It is very convenient to use for round-trip mail, etc., and it is also economical as the amount of envelopes used is halved.Especially in the case of round-trip mail, etc., it gives a good impression to the person replying and ensures a reply. There are also advantages.

In the above embodiment, the envelope body 1 was explained as being entirely transparent, but one side may be made opaque as shown in FIG. 2, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Further, in the above embodiment, the opening 1a was explained as having only one side, but the other side may be used as the opening, and it is of course possible to consider forming the periphery as an opening.

In addition, although the adhesive 3 was described in the above embodiment, a well-known adhesive means with a release paper attached to the surface may be used, and the attachment method is not limited to the above embodiment. Further, in the above embodiment, the mount 4 having the window 4a is used when only the addressee is shown and other communication items are kept secret, but for example, the mount 40 can be used to print predetermined communication items If it is integrated into one side of the paper to be inserted, it can be easily inserted by simply folding it, and it is very convenient because the recipients, etc. to be exposed can be displayed accurately from the window without shifting their positions. This makes it possible to further simplify a large amount of communication work. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the adhesive portion is sealed with an adhesive, but if adhesive means such as heat pressure welding or high frequency welding are used, the efficiency of communication work can be further improved and it is very convenient. It is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above in detail, the present invention has bendable adhesive sections extending from both edges of the opening of an envelope into which a sheet containing predetermined communication information can be inserted, and the envelope itself is made transparent. It is made of transparent material, so that the communication information on the paper inserted into the envelope can be read directly from outside the envelope through the transparent material part, and the paper on which the communication information is written can be folded in half. At the same time, a predetermined through hole is formed in one of the folded pieces so that the predetermined communication information written on the other piece, i.e., the printed address, etc., can be read through the hole, and there is no need for glue. Since the section is designed with a simple sealing structure, it is possible to promote labor-saving in the prescribed correspondence paperwork, eliminate any accidents in which the mail cannot be sent due to unknown addresses, etc., and reduce the amount of glue (in both cases, two tiers are provided). Therefore, it is extremely efficient and economical when used for round-trip mail, etc., and it has various excellent effects such as being simple to manufacture and therefore very inexpensive.
