DEVICE FOR SECURING MAILABLE MATTER.
. Application filed June 1,
To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, JOHN B. S. BLrrcH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beach, `in the county of Ware and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Device for Securing` Mailable Matter, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices for ses curing and sealing mailable mattei', and has for one of its objects to provide a simply constructed device which may be applied to mailable matter regardless of its size or form and adapted to bear over one or more of the edges and readily severed medially to release the mattei'.
With this and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim and in the drawings illustrative 0f the preferred embodiment of the invention Figure l is a view of a piece of conventional mailable matter with the improved device shown applied.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a representative piece of mailable matter before the holding and sealing device is applied.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3--8 of Fig. l.
Fig. 4 represents a pair of the improved holding and sealing devices, detached and in perspective.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail illustrating the manner of applying the adhesive.
Fig. 6 is a sectional detail on the line 6-6 of Fig l illustrating the manner of applying the device to a plurality of pieces of mailable matter.
lThe improved device comprises a pluralit, of strips l0 of iieXible material, such as re atively tough paper which may be folded without fracture, and folded longitudinally along a medial line, as illustrated in Fig. t.
The adhesive employed is some form of mucilage which may be rendered operative by moistening, and is disposed along the outer portions only of the strip as illustrated at ll, leaving an intermediate longitudinally directed portion represented at 12 free from the adhesive, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
The strips 10 are furnished in varying 1921. Serial No. 474,117.
lengths and will be found very useful for holding and sealing mailable matter, such as letters, circulars, catalogues, statements, or a plurality of pieces of such matter mailed as one package.
To illustrate, suppose a circular, catalogue, statement, or other paper is to be mailed, the paper, indicated at 13 is first folded as shown in Fig. 2, for instance into ordinary envelope size, and a plurality of the folded strips lO moistened and disposed over the folded edges of the-paper, as shown in Fig, l, and compressed thereon to cause the mucilage to adhere.
By this simple means the member 13 is firmly held and supported in condition for mailing', while at the same time a sufficient portion of the printed matter is displayed to identify the person or firm who transmits the matter and with exposed space for the address.
The improved device thus provides for the safe and secure transmission of the matter by mail or otherwise, while leaving the matter readily accessible by severing in the ordinary manner, along one or more of the folds which are left without the adhesive, as before stated, for this' purpose.
The improved vdevice is also readily adapted to hold and seal a plurality of superposed papers by applying the folded strip to the outer layers as illustrated in Fig. 6.
The improved device is simple in construction, can be inexpensively manufactured, and enables a large portion of the printed matter usually mailed in envelopes to be mailed without the envelope, thus saving materially in expense and preventing waste.
After the holding' and sealing members have been severed to release the contents, the latter can be readily filed or otherwise disposed of as they are in the same condition as when mailed in an ordinary envelope or wrapper. The holding members l0 may be of any color or in various colors, and may be utilized to contain advertising matter.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the drawings and set forth in the specification, but it will be understood that any modiiications within the scope of the claimed invention may be made in the Construction Without departing' from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
What is claimed is A device for securing mailable comprising a iexible strip folded matter longitudinally and provided with an adhesive ture hereto.
JOHN B. S. BLITCH.
