1 Claim.
This invention relates to envelopes for floral identification cards or for like purposes.
The object of this invention is to provide a transparent plural envelope to be used in connection with suitable cards contained therein. For example, a friend or relative passes away. The bereaved person or persons obtain a suitable floral offering from a florist establishment. The florist or the sender properly fills out the cards, one of which bears the name of the sender with expressions of sympathy which is placed in one of the envelope folds, preferably the one containing the metal eyelet. The second card contains the name and address of the sender with a description of the flowers, the name of the florist,
etc., which is placed in the other fold, preferably one without a metal eyelet. The cards may be easily read through the transparent envelopes without removing them. The double envelope is then attached to the flowers by means of a drawcord, rubber band, wire, or the like, passing through corresponding orifices in the envelopes. When the flowers have arrived at the funeral home the undertaker detaches the envelope containing the card bearing the descriptive data by tearing or cutting the same from the attachment and separating the two envelopes along the perforated line provided for that purpose leaving the envelope containing the sympathy card attached to the floral offering. The card so detached is then handed -to the principal mourner from which to make a proper acknowledgement to the sender of the flowers.
The old custom for performing the obituary services as stated above has been for the undertaker; or the person arranging the flowers, to furnish the proper data, and from this course confusion frequently arises, as the person acting may not be familiar with the nature of the floral 40 offering, and with the person or persons sending the same.
It is likewise an object of this invention to employ this type of envelope structure for many other purposes. For instance, a merchant sell- 45 ing goods may use cards with duplicate numbers, one of which would bear the Words-Sold with the name of the purchaser, and the other card may carry the necessary information or data that a clerk could refer to and for the convenience of the bookkeeper or accountant.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the construction and arrangement of the parts of this invention.
Fig. 1 is a front view showing the envelopes together but opened apart like a book, and illustrating all parts assembled.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the envelopes closed one upon the other.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of part of one en- 5 velope or pocket portion the section passing through the eyelet.
Fig. 4 is a cross section on line 4-4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a vertical section through part of the other envelope, the section passing throughthe l0 orifice in the envelope.
Throughout the drawing and description the same number is employed to refer to the same part.
Considering the drawing, envelopes 1 and 2 have interiors 3 and 4 open at one edge in the usual manner. The envelopes are in structure pockets or pocket portions of the whole. The envelopes have mouths or entrances 5 and 6. The lower edge flaps or turned over portions are designated by numbers 7 and 8, and the upper corresponding edge flaps by numbers 9 and 10.
The edge portions are turned over and sealed as shown.
The envelope or pocket 1 has near one end an orifice 11, and the fellow envelope 2 has an eyelet 12. Through the orifice and eyelet which has corresponding positions, there is passed a doubled cord 13 having a loop 14 thereby enabling the cord to draw the two pocket portions together, and also permitting the whole to be attached to the floral piece or to any article to which the invention may be applied. When it is desired to separate the fellow envelopes they are torn apart along the perforated center line 15. The purpose of providing a metal eyelet 12 for one of the envelopes will now be understood. The cord 13 is usually tied to the flowers and it is oftentimes troublesome to untie the cord particularly in a hurried manner. The orifice 11 in the companion envelope is without reenforcement'and easily ruptured, so that the envelope desired to be detached may be torn away along the perforated line 15 without loss of time or hindrance due to untying the cord.
It will now be noted that there has been illustrated and described herein a plural envelope with separable members which when made of transparent material such as Cellophane will permit the cards to be easily read, and which may be used for a variety of purposes.
Having now described this invention and the manner of its use, I claim:-
A pair of envelopes formed together and having a line of separation between them, the pock- 5 ets ofv said envelopes and the openings thereof being arranged to close one against the other, the outside portions of said envelopes being of transparent material whereby cards placed in the envelopes may be read from either side of the pair of envelopes when closed together, the said pair of envelopes being provided with orifices registering one with the other when the envelopes are together, the orifice of one envelope being provided with a metal eyelet to prevent tearing, the other orifice in the second envelope being formed without reenforcement, a cord secured through the said orifices to hold the envelopes together whereby the unprotected orifice may be torn from the cord and the envelopes divided along the said line of separation.
HENRY A. DUDLEY.
