Abstract

A sealed envelope that has line of perforations, along one side,’ with the distance between such perforations as to provide a line of least resistance to tearing, and situated close to a convenient edge; will permit the opening of the envelope by tearing, along such line of perforations and will enable access to the content. The minor part created by the line of perforations, will be torn off, leaving greater part intact for its use for storage/filing of the content for future use .There is no known application of a perforated line extant to envelopes, to provide for the reuse thereof as a containment of the content

Description

  • This Application Supports a Change in the Construction of Mailing Envelopes, Heretofore not done
  • The envelope is designed such that its integrity will survive the mailing process and provide the benefits that are numerous. It allows the recipient to store the original contents of the envelope in a organized. manner; it provides the recipient with a storage options particular to the needs of the user; it allows for the reuse of raw materials. Finally it provides the sender with choices currently unavailable
  • The novelty is that there is a detachable margin at one end of the envelope that Permits the recipient to remove such, by tearing along a line provided by a line of perforations , indentations, or along a line created by the fusion of the internal edges of the end of the envelope to the extent that perforations, or indentations would define were that option selected.
  • (A) Perforations, indentations, (or/and fusing) are made along a single edge of an envelope, and parallel thereto at a convenient distance from such edge. A quarter of an inch, more or less ,which facilitates the tearing off of such marginal part as the perforations/indentation/fusing create.
  • The fusing of such margin by coating the interior face of the envelope at that margin of the envelope as such that which perforations ,or indentations would otherwise provide, but producing the same facility, and ease of tearing off the end of the envelope to gain access to the contents thereof.
    • ACCESS TO THE CONTENT IS THEN AFFORDED TO THE RECIPIENT
  • (B)Further, the detachable margin permits the retention of the envelope for the reuse of storing the content for the future reference
  • (C) Whereas the conventional envelope is sealed (glued or Fused) along one flapped edge to ensure the retention of the content, and to provide the privacy of such content, but requires the random tearing of the envelope to gain access to the content, thus destroying it for further use, and compelling the creation of an additional means of the orderly storing of the content
  • (D) Whereas this invention conserves the integrity of the envelope for an additional purpose of storing the envelope and content
  • (E) Whereas this is in the interest of both sender, and recipient who have an interest in the preservation of the content . . .

Claims (1)

1. The “Invention’. consists of an improvement of existing practice.
(A) Envelopes that are perforated on three sides to permit easy access by the recipient ,and convenient to the sender in that the message may be printed on the inner surfaces, and addressed on the outer surface, thus permitting the use a single mailed piece that has the recipients address on the outer face and the message on the inner face . . . and is effectively sealed on three sides by glue content rendered accessible by such perforations and tearing along the perforated lines.
There is not any intent to facilitate the conservation of the envelope. The existing practice does not allow for ready conservation of the envelope
(B) The Conventional envelope is sealed (Glued) along one of a flapped edge to ensure retention of the content, and to provide privacy of such content, and the tearing of the envelope to gain access destroys the envelope for any further use This instance, requires an additional means to preserve the contents, for future reference
There is not any intent to facilitate the conservation of the envelope The existing practice does not allow for ready conervation of the envelope
