WILLIAM DOUGLAS MUG-ANN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
C(SRRESIONDENCE-PACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent. .Patented oct, 19, 1920,
Application filed May 4, 1918. Serial No. 232,449. I I i To all whom. it may concern:
Be it known that I; WILLTAM DOUGLAS MGGANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented an Improvement in Correspondence-Packets, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved way of packaging letter paper and envelops so as to make a compact, un tary, self-wrapped package. The ob ect 18 further to provide an attractive correspondence packet for the special convenience of soldiers and travelers, the packet being easily stowed in a knapsack or traveling bag, available for mailing without additional wrapping, and, when opened, adapted to provide a support for writing. I
The invention will be described with reference to the annexed drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a front view of a packet embodying my invention, having substantially the appearance of an ordinary envelop such as is used for mailing photographs and the like.
Fig. 2 is a back view of the same.
Fig. 3 is an interior View of the packet fully opened, revealing the face side of the writing paper.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line a1m of Fig. 8.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the opened packet, indicating the manner of folding.
-Fig. 6 is a view of the packet partially folded.
Fig. 7 is a vertical cross-section of the folded packet.
Fig. 8 is a detail view in vertical section showing a modified means of attaching the writing paper to the wrapper.
1 denotes a pad of writing paper and 22 are a couple of packs of letter envelops bound with ordinary paper bands 3. Said paper and envelops are packaged in a wrapper 4 formed as a backing for the pad and with envelop-retaining side flaps 5 and an upper end flap 6. The wrapper may be made of relatively heavy paper or other appropriate material. The paper pad, preferably formed with/a flexible back 1*, is affixed to the inner side of the wrapper by pasting or gumming the upper portion of the pad thereto; and the packs of envelops are attached to the respective side flaps by pasting or gumming the paper bands 3 thereto. The main body of the wrapper is slightly larger than the paper pad. to provide a desirable margin, and the packs of envelops are retained on the side flaps suliiciently offset from the main body of the wrapper to provide clearance for folding,
the several flaps being foldahle on the dotted double lilies i indicated in Fig. 3.
The package is folded in the manner illustrated in Figs. 5, 6 and '7. The pad is first folded upon itself, the side flaps with the attached envelops are then folded upon the pad, the lower portion of the wrapper folded upon said flaps, and the top fiapythen folded over the free end of the wrapper and suitably fastened. A well known form. of fastening means is shown consisting of the string 7 attached to a paper disk 8 011 the end flap 6, the string being passed around the package and having its end twisted around the disk. 5
If desired the side flaps with the attached envelops may be folded upon the face of the pad, and the lower part of the latter together with the lower part of the wrapper folded upon the flaps, and the top flap then folded down and fastened; though the manner of folding first described is preferable because it makes a more compact packet.
The wrapper constitutes an outer envelop, with the writing paper and envelops affixed to and infolded with the flaps of the outer envelop, thus making a neat, compact package with the parts of the wrapper and contents so folded as to provide considerable stifiness and protect against crumpling. The package is available for delivery from the store or for posting in the mails without additional wrapping, and may be stowed in a restricted space in the knapsack or traveling bag. When opened, the wrapper affords a convenient support for the writing pad and retains the pad and envelops in proper relative position, avoiding misplacement and dropping of the envelops.
It may be desirable to design the package for refilling with paper and envelops, and in that event the paper pad may have its back provided with a tongue 1 adapted to engage a pocket 4* formed on the inner and the envelop retaining bands may be made of more durable material than paper,
as for instance elastic or semi-elastic material, and permanently glued or otherwise affixed to the side flaps of the wrapper.
With variations in the character and quantity of the writing paper and envelope, and in the style of the wrapper, the packet may be designed as a convenient correspondence outfit for the home or ofiice, or as a souvenir, advertising novelty, or for various other special purposes.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A correspondence packet comprising writing paper and envelops, and an outside wrapper forming a backing for the writing paper and having a pair of opposite envelop-supporting side flaps and an end flap, said side flaps with the attached envelope being folded upon the writing paper, and
the lower portion of said wrapper folded In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS MQGANN.
