Abstract

The business or other institution is provided with two complementary series of blank form parts. One of these contains one or more elements of a form of construction (multiple ply, window, glassine-patched window, glue spots, patches or strips) which would make it incompatable for use with today's commercially predominate non-impact printers. The other contains none of such elements and is suited for being run through a business computer-controlled non-impact printer for the purpose of printing of variable information thereon, and of being thereafter assembled and united increment for increment with form parts from the first series, using presently available assembling and uniting apparatus, whereupon the united forms may be successively severed into thus individualized communications and dispatched to their respective addressees.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an envelope with a reply envelope suitable for printing information with a non-impact printer, in particular, it is composed of three pieces of paper, an envelope top paper, an envelope middle paper, and an envelope bottom paper.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Forms have been developed that make a great contribution to the convenience and efficiency of businesses and companies that have the opportunity to repeatedly send various information to multiple business partners, customers or users. It often includes a preprint that is printed on the fixed form. This fixed information may include information about the sender, detailed step-by-step instructions on how to receive the information specifically expressed in the form, and how to respond to it, as well as various information before sending to the recipient. The area, region or range or (or) where the information will be provided in the form by the business, and / or any information on the form received by the recipient somewhere. Contains information about highlighting in. Such forms often also include return envelopes and remittance slips, which are provided in a detachable manner for the convenience of the sender's reply to the sender's request.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the continuous development of computers that are now useful for businesses at all levels, from large multinational corporations to small-scale street corner grocery stores, and the interactive operation and operation of such computers. Along with the permanent diffusion of peripheral devices designed to be, it has been shown that some advances in these other areas have made the convenience and increased efficiency useful, commercialized and clerical demonstrated by such forms. It represents a lasting challenge to the talent and abundant wit of the designers and manufacturers of the forms to avoid being blind.

It is as if in pursuit of a kind of friendly war, in which such devices and associated software are improved and more useful to the business than ever. Any high-level progress made in office computers and their peripherals, which aims to achieve this, is likely to show the need for the concept and development of a new generation of forms. Of course, sometimes it will be a leap in the form concept and development that elicits reaction from computer, peripherals and software innovators. Nevertheless, in both cases, society is a beneficiary of the concept and development of recurring society when both respond creatively.

This invention was made during the repetition of the following concept and development.

Another feature of many forms is that a computer controlled printing device can provide a variety of information, such as the recipient's name and address, bank account number, previous balance, payments and other credit balances, interest, new debit balances, current The balance, new maturity amount, settlement date, payment date, etc. should be applied to the above-mentioned form. Often this provides the business with two, three or more pieces of writing paper, each of which is in series with a series of consecutive sprockets running along one or both edges. Promotes properties. Businesses or other companies may use collators or other assemblers to devise organized, personalized envelopes that allow various information to be passed through printers or serially separated and sent to various destinations. / Send one or more of these form elements in sequence through the uniter. Early generations used paper drive sprockets on their paper bail, and next generations used circular chains, daisy wheels, dot printers and other improved high speed impact printers to typewriters and similar input / computer operated impact printers. Although it was printed variously in recent years, the achievement level of office printing such as financial statements, invoices and solicitation letters has recently reached to include inkjet printers, laser-based inkjet printers and other non-impact printers (NIPS). It was Such printers print for any job (eg, because of need or in hope, sometimes printing two or more sheets at the same time, or one or more inner sheets covered with blank paper. The impact type printer cannot replace the impact type printer and it has many advantages, so its attractiveness cannot be denied. Among these advantages are speed, reliability, minimal moving parts and the ability to print without leaving any mechanical imprint that would otherwise appear hidden on the underlying paper.

For form suppliers, the emergence and proliferation of non-impact printers in office use represents a challenge. It addresses the differences that are required by the use of non-impact printers, in particular the forms that develop the most convenient and well-known features that state-of-the-art forms have provided up to now, and further pioneers the development of forms. Even if it is extruded, it can be made even more useful and convenient in the age of non-impact printers.

In the field of non-impact printers, it will almost certainly be used for commercial centers that will continue to be developed and are specifically shown in new machines, but nowadays it is very widely used in business. The non-impact printer, which is believed to have been spread all over the place, is certainly a multi-element form (whether it is the whole or only a part of it, either way, a pre-combined sheet thicker than one sheet). It does not accept (prints made on the material), does not print on sheets with punched windows, does not print on sheets with glass paper patch sealing windows, or has adhesive strips or spots It is also not printed on. The adhesive is to be activated later for use in bonding the sheet to another sheet or to another site of the same sheet. In the commercial development of laser types and other non-impact printers, some of the limitations at this stage are the sheet feeder problem, the inkjet control problem, and some are the heat generation problem. The problem is important. This type of envelope is currently printed on a sheet by a laser-type non-impact printer. For this reason, if the adhesive is attached to the sheet, the heat generated by the laser beam activates the applied adhesive even if it is applied to avoid printing areas, and the sheet becomes soft and sticks to the internal rollers of the printing machine. Or the sheet may become dirty with fluid adhesive.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation of the envelope of this kind as described above, and an object thereof is that the adhesive is activated and the sheet is activated even when printing is performed by a laser type non-impact printer. Is to provide an envelope with a return envelope that does not stick to the inner rollers of the printing press or stain the sheet with fluidized adhesive.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The envelope with a return envelope of the present invention is composed of three pieces of an envelope upper paper 12 and an envelope inner paper 14 with an adhesive and an envelope lower paper 16 without an adhesive, which is suitable for printing information. Before the three pieces of paper are stacked and adhered, the address and other information are printed on at least the communication form 70 provided on the envelope bottom paper 16, and the printed address is the envelope top paper. The envelope top paper 12 and the envelope middle paper 14 are bonded to each other around the inside 3 of the opening sewing machine hole with an adhesive so that the recipient opens the envelope after opening it. The envelope top paper 12 and the envelope middle paper 14 constitute a reply envelope determined by the inner circumference of the above three areas.

[0011]

[Action]

 With this configuration, before the three pieces of envelope top paper, envelope middle paper, and envelope bottom paper are overlapped and bonded, the address and the address of the envelope bottom paper without adhesive are attached. Other information can be printed, the address can be displayed corresponding to the window provided on the envelope paper, an envelope can be formed, and three pieces of paper can be overlapped and bonded. Therefore, even when printing with a laser-type non-impact printer, the adhesive is activated and the sheet does not become soft and stick to the inner roller of the printing machine, and the sheet is not contaminated with the flowing adhesive. Further, the reply envelope is formed by the envelope top paper and the envelope middle paper, which makes the reply procedure convenient.

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is an exploded perspective front view of a completed individual envelope 10 provided in accordance with the principles of this description for purposes of understanding and description, and FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of FIG. Some of these illustrated elements are preferably not applied until two of the three sheets of paper have been glued. Care must be taken to avoid misinterpreting these views, for example, from all the pieces of paper shown, which give the false impression that the collection arose.

The individual envelopes shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are made up of three pieces of paper 12, 14, and 16, but for the sake of explanation, their actual use during manufacture and use. They are called upper paper 12, middle paper 14, and lower paper 16 regardless of their spatial positional relationship. However, the alternative designation of spatial positional relationship is used in the same manner as below, unless otherwise specified.

Each of the paper pieces 12, 14 and 16 is generally rectangular, and accordingly the upper paper 12 has left and right edges 18 and 20 extending in the vertical direction and a rear edge (upper edge) 22 extending in the horizontal direction. A front edge (lower edge) 24. Corresponding edges of the inside paper 14 are indicated by 26, 28, 30 and 32, respectively, and corresponding edges of the lower paper 16 are indicated by 34, 36, 38 and 40, respectively.

Preferentially, the top paper 12, the middle paper 14 and the bottom paper 16 of the individual envelopes 10, as shown in some of the other figures, are the respective lengths of undefined lengths of paper. When several rows in the direction are moved through the respective manufacturing processes and joined as laminated paper, these webs are simultaneously cut into a plurality of individual envelopes 10 along a transverse line of the perforations. In other words, at said coincident upper edges 22, 30 and 38, the individual envelopes 10 are separated along the latter coincident lower edges 24, 32 and 40 until the composite web is cut along their respective perforations. Of individual envelopes 10 (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), and the individual envelopes 10 separate the individual envelopes 10 until the composite web is separated along another perforation line. Along the coincident lower edges 24, 32 and 40 and the coincident upper edges 22, 30 and 38 of the third individual envelope 10 of the third individual envelope 10 shown in FIGS. (Not shown).

The top paper 12 and the bottom paper 16 are nominally 12 inches (about 30.48 cm) wide, and the above-mentioned middle paper 14 is about two-thirds thereof, and three pieces 12, 14, and 16 of the paper pieces. All are arranged so that one edge, for example their left edge, coincides. The three sheets 12, 14 and 16 are made of the same type of paper that is well known to the Applicant, is manufactured by several companies and is currently used as a regular office form. It is convenient for form production and office use that the web made of the top paper 12 and the bottom paper 16 is provided with the end row of sprocket feed holes 42 and 44 which are usually provided along the left and right edges of the web. The narrow and narrow inner paper 14 has a row 42 of sprocket feed holes provided along the edge 26 thereof, the edge 26 of the upper paper 12 and the lower paper 16 respectively. Matches 18 and 34.

The three paper strips 12, 14 and 16 which are adjacent to the sprocket feed holes 42 as just described, but which are located closer to the center of the paper strip than the row, are matched. A vertically extending sewing line 46 is provided. Further, a sewing line 48 extending in the longitudinal direction is aligned with the upper paper 12 and the lower paper 16 which are adjacent to each other but are located closer to the center of the respective paper pieces than the row of the sprocket feed holes 44. It is provided. Preferably, the inner paper 14, which is narrower than the top paper 12 and the bottom paper 16, has its right edge 28 spaced to its left side (ie, closer to the center of the individual envelope 10 than the perforation line 48). In common with other sewing lines, the perforation lines 46 and 48, which will be described below, are preferably usually, for example, the respective lines of a longitudinal continuous slit, which are arranged in series. Alternatively, it may be punched with longitudinally spaced punches, or punched holes arranged in series, or the like.

The individual envelopes 10 are traversed by a perforation line 50 arranged so that all three pieces 12, 14 and 16 of paper are adjacent, but spaced apart simultaneously from the upper edge of these pieces. Is further included. Preferably, the perforation line 50 extends from perforation line 46 to perforation line 48.

The individual strips 10 further include a transverse line by a perforation line 52 arranged so that all three strips 12, 14 and 16 are adjacent, but simultaneously spaced from the lower edge of these strips. There is. Preferably, the perforation line 52 also extends from the perforation line 46 to the perforation line 48.

The perforations 46, 48, 50 and 52 are defined by the corresponding adjacent edges of the left, right, upper and lower edge strips 54, 56, 58 and 60, respectively, of the respective strip.

The top paper 12 is provided with a sewing line 62 running in the longitudinal direction which at least entirely coincides with the right side edge 28 of the inside paper 14. The sewing line 62 is provided on the entire height of the cover paper 12.

The top paper 12 and the inner paper 14 are both provided with a matching laterally running perforation line 64 extending between the left edge strip 54 and the perforation line 62 / right edge 28. Has been done.

Optionally, but preferably, the portion of the bottom paper 16 located at the center of the edge strips 54, 56, 58 and 60 is, for example, longitudinally and by the transverse line of the perforation lines 66 and 68. , Provide what will be further subdivided into correspondence slip 70 and reminder 72. Theoretically, the sewing lines 66 and 68 could be omitted, and all of the parts 70/72 could serve as a communication tag. In such a case, it can be folded and then placed in the return envelope. However, it is preferred that the recipients of the individual envelopes facilitate the proper reply, and that the return envelopes are opened securely by an automated envelope cutting and opening device without damaging the contents. It is to provide a small communication slip 70 for both sides in order to make it easier and surely read the communication slip by the automated optical character reader. Preferably, the communication form 70 is placed in the lower right corner of the site 70/72 that contacts the sewing lines 48 and 52.

Between the sewing lines 62 and 48, laterally, and preferably in agreement with the central portion of the communication form 70, on the cover paper 12, for example in its lower half, or in its lower right corner. It has a punched window of normal size, shape and orientation.

For convenience of description, the faces 76, 78 and 80 of the paper strips 12, 14 and 16 shown in FIG. 1 are referred to as the faces, and their faces 86, 84 and 82 shown in FIG. Is called the back side. A ring of adhesive 98 is applied on the back surface 82 of the top paper 12 along the edge of the window 74. This adhesive is collectively referred to as "soft plate glass" hereinafter, such as strong translucent or transparent flexible sheet material such as glassine paper, cellophane, acetate, polyethylene terephthalate.

The upper paper 12 and the inner paper 14 are collectively referred to as “belts” hereinafter, such as adhesive on a line, on a line at a point, or on a streak, as described below.

The back surface 82 of the top paper 12 is provided only on the left side of the middle vertical sewing line 62, and the adhesive 88 is applied to the edge strips 58, 56 and 60 in a substantially square C-shaped band. If possible, this adhesive 88 is preferably a heat-sensitive (heat seal, hot melt) adhesive.

The front surface 78 of the inner paper 14 borders its left edge strip 54, its lower edge strip 60 and its right edge inwardly with a square C-shaped strip of adhesive 90. Preferably, this strip of adhesive 90 is room temperature adhesive and its opposite edge reaches the perforation line 64.

Further, the surface 78 of the inside paper 14 has a latent flap 92 of the inside paper 14 which is determined by the sewing lines 50 and 64 extending in the lateral direction thereof, the sewing line 46 in the left vertical direction thereof and the right edge 28 thereof. A laterally extending strip of adhesive 94 is applied over the. Preferably, this band of adhesive 94 is a dry re-soluble adhesive.

On the back surface 84 of the inside paper 14, a square, substantially C-shaped strip of adhesive 96 is applied on the edge strips 58, 54 and 60. Preferably, this adhesive 96 is a heat sensitive (heat seal, hot melt) adhesive. It should be noted that the adhesives 88 and 96 are complementary to each other, so that when the top paper 12 and the inner paper 14 are superposed, these two adhesive strips are strips of completely hollow rectangular edges (adhesive strips). ) Shape 88/96.

No adhesive is applied to the lower paper 16.

It is possible within the scope of the invention to make many changes to the printing on these pieces of paper, but with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the surface of the top paper 12, the middle paper 14 and the bottom paper 16 A typical arrangement for printing on the back side will be described below.

The surface of the top paper 12 is printed in non-changing language and non-language graphics, mainly for the four edge strips, these strips 54-60, perforation lines 46-52, post type declaration, The outline of the stamp or stamp, the product name and the confirmation written on the margin of the supplier, and first the contents of the individual envelopes, and then the opaque area where the contents of the reply envelope cannot be seen from the outside. A set of instructions that direct the method and sequence for separating the individual envelopes along.

The back side of the top paper 12 is printed with a non-change language and a non-language graphic, for example, the recipient uses the reply envelope for remittance, but has the patch window. After separating the remittance slip, instruct to mail the reply envelope. The perforation line, which primarily includes a first instruction set located on the abutment window, and which is on the top paper 12 to expose, for example, a recipient to a surface coated with another of the latent flap 92. A second instruction set located on the waste strip 102 (which matches the latent flap 92) to direct the strip to be removed by pulling it along 64. Further, by exposing the coating surface of the latent flap 92, it can be humidified, bent by the sewing machine line 64 of the inside paper 14, and sealed on the surface of the top paper 12 to seal the reply envelope. Further, the back side of the cover sheet 12 includes an opaque “field” for clouding the contents of the individual envelopes first and secondly so that the contents cannot be seen from the outside of the reply envelope. be able to.

The surface of the inner paper 14 is printed with a non-altering language and a non-linguistic graphic, and once the surface is exposed by removing the waste strip 102, the strip is moistened and folded. It includes an instruction set that directs the recipient to seal, and an opaque "field" that obscures the contents of the return envelope from the outside of the envelope.

The back surface of the inside paper 14 is printed in a non-change language and a non-language graphic. It should not remove the latent flap 92, but how it should be used, the set of lines in the upper left corner used to provide the sender's return address, and the sender. The stamp outline (or stamping of where the first business sender / remitee pays the stamp for the reply) and the first business sender / recipient's note in the upper right corner to remind you of stamping Primarily includes a set of instructions written above the latent flap 92 which indicates a lower / centrally located mailing address.

The surface of the lower paper 16 is typified by an invoice, income and expenditure report, charity or solicitation of funds of other public institutions or the like, and a remittance deposit, for example, the communication slip 70. As a remittance slip, separate it from the remaining portion 72 along the perforation lines 66 and 68, put the remittance slip in a state not bent by remittance into a reply envelope, and instruct the recipient to return it to the recipient. Can be printed with the command set, but the rest of the part 72 is left as a record of the sender.

The back side of the bottom paper 16 is preferably pre-printed in a non-verbal graphic, labeled in various contoured zones, regions, boxes or for the receipt of various linguistic graphics. Print another of a kind (collectively called a "field"). For example, quantity, total amount, date, type, total amount, due amount, catalog, code, interval, payment date, debit, credit and especially recipient name, mailing address and associated code, for example customer account number or (and) mail. Includes delivery route sorting information.

The above list of printed fixed information is typical and can be added to, subtracted from, or varied with the types of communications with suitable special businesses and other businesses. Basically, it is important to note that the information provided by printing on the top and middle papers is large or completely fixed and that at the time of its initial acquisition by the business or other company, The bottom paper 16 has no adhesives, windows, patching, multi-layer thickness, or any other compatibility such as rendering it incompatible with today's commercially important high speed non-impact printers such as HP laser jet printers. There is also no characteristic.

Today, some of the commercially important high speed impact printers, such as HP LaserJet Plus printers, are capable of printing non-verbal graphics and will therefore be required on the backing paper 16. Some or all of the fixed information (including the various information) is preprinted by the manufacturer of the form element, rather than using its non-impact printer, the business or other business Will be applied by

Now, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, the preferred process is to describe the above-mentioned form component / and two formation in a web of indefinite length.

The first element of the form is a composite web consisting of two webs attached together. The process of providing this composite top web is clearly shown in FIG. 3 and the process of providing another web of this composite (which includes the inside paper 14 of the individual envelope 10) is shown in FIG. ing. The process of laminating these two webs is shown in FIG. The second element of the form is a single web, the production process of which is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, a roll of stock stock material 104 is unrolled to provide web 106, which is continuously fed out through printing station 108, thereby providing fixed information on one or both sides. To the adhesive application station 110 and, for example, to the attachment of the patch 100 (see FIG. 2). Pass the window patch station 116 (punching, adhesive application, plate glass work). This is subsequently applied successively to each increment of the web 106 that becomes a component of each individual envelope 10. The finished upper part 118 is then rolled up.

In FIG. 4, the roll of stock paper stock material 120 is shown to be unwound to provide a respective web 122, which web 122 is continuously pumped through a printing station 124, thereby The fixed information is printed to fit on one or both sides and is passed through an adhesive application station 129 for application of, for example, the adhesive strip 96 (see FIG. 2). Then, the inside paper web is rolled up at 128.

FIG. 5 shows the upper web roll 118 and the inner web roll 128 unrolled, providing the respective webs. The inner paper web 128 is continuously delivered through the first adhesive application station 130, for example for application of the strip of rewettable adhesive 94 (see FIG. 1), or the strip of cold adhesive 90, for example. For application of the second adhesive application station 132, the active cold adhesive 90 is used to bond both the top and middle web webs described above, thus forming the first part composite web 136. In a preferred embodiment, the wide upper web 118 receives the perforation line, and the perforation line is received by the inner web 128, but this does not match the above perforation line. As long as the wide web 118 is the only place to receive the perforations, it is arranged laterally across the edge 28 of the inner web 128, in both the longitudinal and lateral directions of the above-mentioned upper web 118 and composite web. The perforation line can be applied to the composite web 136, for example at the perforation line providing station 138, and the resulting first part composite web can be picked at the position shown at 140 and boxed for shipping.

FIG. 6 shows the roll 142 of bottom stock material being unwound and the web 144 being provided, which web 144 is continuously fed through the print station 146, thereby allowing one side of the fixed material. Alternatively, it can be printed to fit on both sides and passed through a perforation line providing station 148 where the finished second part web can be boxed for shipping at the location indicated by pick 150.

The product of the voucher manufacturer is the first and second parts contained in the boxes shown at 140 and 150 on the right side of FIGS. 5 and 6. These business and companies order these form elements, which are typically boxed web forms, in the desired quantity, but these are the two factors that are expected to be used, the price advantage according to the order quantity, and the forecast required for both factors. It depends on changes and so on.

A standard work sequence for using the forms 1 and 2 in the business or another company or by the recipient will be described below with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

In FIG. 7, on the premise of the business or another company, when the stock 150 of the second part of the form is sent to the printing station 152 of the computer-controlled non-impact printer 154, at that station, for example, the above-mentioned Various information, such as the payee's address, billing data, and the like (as detailed above with respect to FIG. 1) are applied to each sequential increment of the web bottom sheet 16.

The second part thus printed in various ways is then fed into a rearrangement joining (collation sealing) station 156, where the surface of the individual sequential increments 158 of the second part of the form is glued with an adhesive 88. And 96 complementary strips are aligned side-by-side with the backside of each sequential increment 160 of the locally heated first part form. Also cut here from the tip of the three-layer composite web thus formed, and the intended recipient (its name and destination are now visible through the translucent patching window 74 of each individual envelope 10). A continuous individual envelope 10 ready for mailing.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, upon receipt by the intended recipient, each individual envelope first presents to the recipient a printed instruction set visible to the outside. In complying with these instructions, the recipient cuts all four edge strips 54-60 from the individual envelopes 10 and the remaining center 70/72 of the bottom paper 16 is the top paper 12 / center paper. Separated from 14 stacks. This exposes another instruction set already described with respect to FIGS. Upon following these orders, the recipient disconnects the letter of communication 70 from the dunning notice 72 and writes all information on the letter of communication 70 (such as the amount to be sent and the recipient's address correction). Write a check 162 of the remittance amount, and cut off the discard deposit and strip along the perforation lines 62 and 64 to separate the top sheet 12 (thus separating the return envelope 164 from the rest of the envelope). , The written check and the communication slip 70 are inserted into the return envelope 164 into the upward opening 166 thereof, humidified, and bent along the perforation line of the inner paper 14, and the outer surface of the upper paper 12 is inserted. That is, the latent flap 92 is attached, thereby sealing the reply envelope 164, and affixing the stamp to the reply envelope 164 (when there is no free postal stamp stamping), and finally to the business or other company. Feed to return, but (as have already above mentioned in connection with FIG. 2) their name and destination in advance are printed on the top of the table 168 of Envelope said reply.

This invention provides a two-element envelope in which one element is compatible with the currently commercially predominant non-impact printer, while the other element contains predominantly or exclusively preprinted fixed information. However, various types of information may be provided in one or both of the first and second parts of the form, and the adhesive provided on the form with such elements may be used in a premature or harmful manner. It is within the scope of this invention for business use to apply before and after unification using a non-impact printer, which is a printer that does not apply activating heat to the form above the form elements.

[0054]

As described in detail above, the envelope with a return envelope of the present invention forms an envelope by stacking and adhering three pieces of envelope upper paper, envelope middle paper, and envelope lower paper and forming an envelope lower paper. Matching the address of the envelope and the address of the communication form is made because the address written on the communication form of is displayed corresponding to the window on the envelope paper. It is possible to send the communication slip without any mistake.

Since the inner envelope paper and the upper envelope paper are adhered to each other along the inner side of the opening perforation with an adhesive, after the envelope is opened, the upper envelope paper and the inner envelope paper are formed. Reply envelopes can be easily obtained, and even when replying by filling out certain items on the communication form, you can reply immediately without preparing a reply envelope, and you can also fill in the reply destination in advance when creating envelopes for outgoing correspondence The reply work using the reply envelope can be performed extremely accurately and efficiently without the need to fill in each reply address.
