Description

J; SUSERSKY. DOUBLE SAFETY ENVELOP. APPLICATION FILED APR. 29. 1918.
V, vfigzwemk, 1 My? throw;
Patented June 17, 1919.
JOHN SUSERSKY, OF IBARBERTON, OHIO.
DOUBLE SAFETY-ENVELOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 17, 1919.
Application filed April 29, 1918. Serial No. 231,436.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN SUSERSKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Barberton, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Double Safety-Envelops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to envelops and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described.
An object of the invention is to provide an envelop adapted to hold and retain in a sealed condition a plurality of messages the said messages being separately inclosed and connected together whereby the messages may be sent through the mail as a single piece of mailable matter.
\Vith this object in View the envelop comprises two receptacles of similar shape and arrangement of parts the said receptacles being joined or connected at their sealing flap whereby they may lie flat upon each other when the flaps are closed and sealed. Addresses may be applied to the exposed surfaces of each of the inclosures and postage for transmission through the mail be applied to either of them.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank from which the envelop is formed.
Fig. 2 is a view of the envelop constructed in accordance with my invention.
The envelop is formed from a blank 1 of paper or other suitable material the said blank being provided at its intermediate portion with connected or scored sealing flaps 2. The flaps 2 are joined with front sides 3 and end flaps 4; are provided upon the said side portion. The flaps 4 are provided at their free edges with parallel slits 5 and the material between the said slits constitutes tongues 6. The sides 3 are further provided with bottom flaps 7. When the receptacles are formed at the opposite end portion of the blank 1 the flaps 7 are folded up and secured to the end portions of the flaps 4E which are folded in. Portions of the edges of the flaps 7 extend through the slits 5 whereby the tongues 6 are disposed at the opposite sides of the flaps 7 from the major portions of the ends of the flaps 4:. Thus the flaps 7 are securely held with relation to the flaps 4. Consequently the bodies of the receptacles are formed and each receptacle may receive a separate piece of paper bearing a message.
These receptacles may be closed by their respective sealing flaps and inasmuch as the sealing flaps are connected together the receptacles will be held in close proximity to each other when they are sealed and therefore an address may he applied to the exposed side of each receptacle and postage for transmission through the mail may he applied to either of the receptacles.
The recipient of the envelop may detach that receptacle which is addressed to him and hand the receptacle which is addressed to another person to that party after tearing the sealing flaps apart; By reason of the provision of the slits 5 and tongues 6 the recipient of each of the receptacles will be assured that the contents of his receptacle has not been tampered with for the reason that any attempt to separate the flaps of each receptacle will bear some evidence of such an attempt when the receptacle is delivered to the person for whom it is intended. Therefore such unlawful attempts will not be made.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is An envelop comprising a body portion, a lower flap adapted to be arranged upon said body portion, end flaps adapted to be interposed between said body portion and lower flap, said end flaps being slit transversely on spaced parallel lines to the outer edges thereof defining elongated tongues adapted to be arranged upon the outer side of the lower flap and a sealing flap carried by said body.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JOHN SUSERSKY.
