Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to envelopes, and in particular, to envelopes suitable for enclosing cards such as credit cards and mailing them, as well as for printing addresses, etc. using a non-impact printer. Regarding.

PRIOR TECHNOLOGY This type of envelope needs to be protected from damage during mailing and cards from falling out of the envelope. However, the aforementioned damage is caused by cards moving and colliding during mailing. This problem is particularly likely to occur in the destination display window to which a film is attached.

Regular envelopes with a film attached to them that do not have an address display window are not likely to be damaged as mentioned above because the paper quality is strong, but they are not suitable for printing addresses, etc. on a printer. do not have.

Conventionally, a method to prevent this damage and to enable printing by printers was to place a card pocket on a part of the paper adjacent to the address display area, which corresponds to the address display window on the envelope. A card is inserted into the card pocket, and the paper is then enclosed in an envelope (Jikko Sho 57-
11869) is known.

Problems that the invention aims to solve However, in this conventional example, although the card does not fly out of the envelope during mailing,
When the destination is printed on the destination display section using a non-impact printer, there is a drawback that the film forming the card pocket becomes wrinkled and may be torn. Further, in this conventional example, not only the card must be inserted into the card pocket, but also the paper itself must be enclosed in an envelope, which has the disadvantage that the work of enclosing the card is complicated.

In order to eliminate these drawbacks, it would be necessary to eliminate the card pocket made of film and to form the envelope from the paper itself. One idea for this is to fold a reed into three with the address printed on it using a non-impact printer to form an envelope. However, with this configuration, because the paper is folded into three, it is necessary to use paper that is thinner than a regular envelope, and the formed envelope is easily torn, so it is impossible to eliminate the risk of cards flying out of the envelope during mailing. Can not.

The present invention was developed in light of these circumstances, and the purpose is to provide an envelope that is suitable for mailing cards and other items, and is also suitable for printing addresses, etc. using a non-impact printer. shall be.

Means for Solving the Problem An envelope top sheet and an envelope bottom sheet are connected to each other via a folding part, and a plurality of through holes are formed along the edge of the envelope bottom sheet on the opposite side from the folding part. is provided transparently, and the envelope top paper and the envelope bottom paper are folded over each other at the folding portion, and at least an edge on the through-hole side is excluded, for example, adjacent to the edge on the through-hole side. A sealing piece having a size sufficient to cover the through hole is attached along the two edges of the envelope, while a sealing piece having a size sufficient to cover the through hole is attached to the edge of the upper paper of the envelope opposite to the folded part. It was established in series.

Function Since there is no film part such as card pocket,
It is suitable for printing with a non-impact printer, and since an envelope can be formed by folding in half at the folding section, paper with the same thickness and strength as a regular envelope can be used, and the paper can be printed with the top paper of the envelope through the through holes. Since the sealing piece is adhered to the inside of the sealing fold, the enclosed cards will not move to the sealing fold.

Embodiments Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Here, Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the entire envelope paper of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a rear view, Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the middle of the folding operation, and Fig. 4 is a state in which it is folded in half. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an envelope in which a card is similarly enclosed, and FIG. 6 is a rear view of the envelope paper showing a second embodiment regarding application of adhesive.

First, a first embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, envelope paper 1
The envelope bottom paper 2, the envelope top paper 3, and the sealing piece 4 are arranged in series, and the envelope bottom paper 2 and the envelope top paper 3 are the same size, and there is a folding perforation 5 between them, which is a folding part. On the other hand, a folding perforation 6 serving as a sealing folding portion is interposed between the envelope top paper 3 and the sealing piece 4. In addition, a portion along the edge of the envelope bottom sheet 2 on the opposite side to the folding perforation 5 and a portion along the edge of the sealing piece 4 on the opposite side to the folding perforation 6 are provided. , a plurality of feed holes 7, 8, respectively.
are transparently placed at equal intervals. The plurality of feed holes 7 constitute a plurality of through holes along the edge of the envelope bottom sheet 2 on the opposite side from the folded portion. Further, the sealing piece 4 has an arc-shaped slit 11,
12 are provided, and each of these slits 11,
The portion located on the folding perforation 6 side from the imaginary line connecting the ends of the 12 feed holes 8 is formed to be large enough to cover each of the feed holes 7. Although not shown, the envelope paper 1 is usually one in which a large number of envelope sheets 1 are connected in the width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1) with the cut-off perforation as the border.

As shown in FIG. 1, an address entry section 9 and a sender entry section 10 are provided on the upper paper 3 and the front surface of the envelope, and each of these sections 9 and 10 contains the card's destination address, name, and sender's address. The address and name of the person are printed using a non-impact printer.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the back sides of the lower envelope sheet 2 and the upper envelope sheet 3, along both side edges in the width direction, approximately symmetrically with respect to the folding perforations 5, normally they are not glued. Adhesives 13, 14, which can be bonded under specific conditions such as pressure, heat, moisture, etc.
15 and 16 are applied. Further, on the back side of the sealing piece 4, an adhesive 17 is applied between the folding perforation 6 and the feed hole 8 so as to extend along these lines, and this adhesive 17 is coated with a peelable release paper 18. covered by.

In this embodiment, when a large number of envelope sheets 1 are connected in the width direction, the feed holes 7 and 8 are engaged with tractor pins (not shown) to transport the upper envelope sheets 1 in a predetermined direction. The address and name of the recipient and the address and name of the sender are written in the address entry area 9 and sender entry area 10 on the front surface using a printer connected to a computer (not shown), for example, a non-impact printer. After printing, it is made into a single piece.
On the other hand, if it is in a single piece state, in addition to printing with an appropriate printer such as a non-impact printer, the specified information may be written by hand in the addressee entry section 9 and sender entry section 10. .

Next, the operation of forming an envelope and enclosing a card will be explained based on FIGS. 3 to 5.

First, insert each slit 1 into the 8 parts of the feed hole of the sealing piece 4.
The sealing piece 4 is cut along an imaginary line connecting the ends of the feed hole 8 side of the slits 11 and 12 to form a sealing piece 4 having rounded corners formed by the slits 11 and 12 (see FIG. 3). Then, when viewed from the front side, each folding perforation 5 and 6 are sequentially mountain-folded (see Figure 3). The back side of the bottom envelope sheet 2 is stacked on the back side of the top envelope sheet 3 so that the two sides are in contact with each other, and when the adhesives 13, 14, 15, and 16 are bonded together under predetermined conditions, the sealing piece 4 is
An envelope 19 with open sides is formed (see FIG. 4). In this state, the card 20 is inserted, the release paper 18 is peeled off to expose the adhesive 17, the sealing piece 4 is folded along the folding perforation 6, and the back side is inserted into the feed hole 7 on the front surface of the envelope bottom paper 2. The portion is glued and sealed, and the card 20 is enclosed in the envelope 19 (see FIG. 5). In this enclosed state,
Since the sealing piece 4 and the envelope top paper 3 are adhered through the perforation 7, the movement of the card 20 in the direction of the folding perforation 6 can be restricted at the perforation 7, so that the folding of the envelope 19 can be prevented. Damage caused by the card 20 at the six perforations can be completely prevented.

Next, a second embodiment of the adhesive application of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 6.

The back surfaces of the lower envelope sheet 2 and the upper envelope sheet 3 are coated with pressure, heat,
The adhesives 21, 22, 23, and 24, which can be bonded under specific conditions such as water humidity, are
Adhesives 13, 14, 15, 16 explained in Examples
An additional coating is applied inside each of the coating locations. Similar adhesives 25, 26, 27, 28 are also applied symmetrically to both sides of the folding perforation 5, respectively.

In this way, adhesives 13, 21, 14, 22,
If 15, 23, 16, and 24 are provided twice, the adhesive between the top envelope paper 3 and the envelope bottom paper 2 will be partially uneven due to the difference in level formed by the release paper 18. However, it is possible to achieve a sufficient adhesive effect overall. Moreover, when the card 20 is enclosed, each adhesive 25, 26, 27, 2
Card 20 in 5 directions of folding perforation by 8
Since the movement of the envelope 19 can be restricted, the effect of preventing damage to the envelope 19 is further improved compared to the first embodiment.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, a virtual line segment along the perforation hole 8 may be provided as a perforation for cutting, or the perforation hole 7 may be provided as a simple through hole. , the feed hole 8 does not need to be provided. Further, the folding portion and the sealing folding portion may be formed by perforations or thin folding lines. Furthermore, adhesives 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 2
3, 24 and the adhesive 17 do not need to be provided in advance. In addition, the sender writing section 10 may be provided on the front side of the envelope bottom sheet 2, and advertising text or the like may be written on the front side.

Effects As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, since no film is used, it is possible to use a non-impact printer, and since the envelope is formed by folding in half, it is different from a normal envelope. Paper with the same thickness and strength can be used, so there is no risk of the envelope being damaged during mailing of cards, and the sealing piece, envelope top paper, and sealing piece are glued together inside the folded part of the seal through the perforation. Therefore, the movement of cards in the direction of the seal folding part can be restricted in the through-hole part, so damage caused by cards in the seal fold part of the envelope can be completely prevented, and furthermore, the strength of the envelope can be improved. In cases where the requirements are not so great, using paper of the same thickness as the tri-fold envelope can have many advantages, such as allowing you to include an extra sheet of paper containing promotional material, etc., than in the case of a tri-fold envelope. It is something.
