Description

March 29, 1938. R. FISHER COMMUNICATION MEANS Filed Jan.- 16, 1936 Patented Mar. 29, 1938 UNITED STATES COMMUNICATION IWEAN S Ralph Fisher, New York, N. Y., assignor to Speed Systems Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application January 16, 1936, Serial No. 59,338
2 Claims.
The invention relates to improvements in communication means which is of simple construction and highly efficient in use.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an arrangement of the character indicated, essentially adapted for use in intercommunication between ofiicials or employee of the same company, which is of simple construction and highly efficient in use.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification and in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a tablet of communication sheets embodying the invention and arranged in tablet form for convenience of use;
Fig. 2, a perspective view of one of the original letter sheets and its associated copy sheet shown detached.
Fig. 3, a perspective view of one of the original letter sheets shown detached and from which the reply flap has been detached and shown in slightly separated relation; and
Fig. 4, a perspective view of one of the copy sheets shown detached and with the reply flap detached from the original letter sheet attached thereto.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing comprises a tablet made up of alternating original letter sheets I0 and interposed copy sheets I! bound together as indicated in tablet form and arranged to be readily separated therefrom by lines of perforations I2 and 53 respectively.
The original letter sheet I0 comprises an upper portion M appropriately designated as an original letter sheet and bearing the identifying number 1500 as best indicated in Figs. 2 and 3.
4.0 The lower portion of the said sheet is appropriately designated to receive an impression copy of the reply to the letter, notation or memoran dum incorporated on the upper portion I4 of the sheet. A flap I6 appropriately designated 45 for a reply is detachably and foldably connected with the lower edge of the reply-copy portion l5 by a line of perforations ll, and theupper rear edge of the flap I6 is provided with a gummed strip If! as indicated.
50 The copy sheets II are arranged in the pad to alternate with the sheets I!) as best shown in Fig. 1. Each of the sheets I I is provided with an upper portion l9 appropriately designated to receive an impression copy of the letter, nota- 65 tion or memorandum on the original sheet portion M when a carbon paper is inserted between them. The lower portion of the sheet H is appropriately designated to receive the flap I6 pasted thereon by the gummed strip I8 as indicated in Fig. 4. As shown, each of the sheet portions l4, l5, I6, l9, and 20 are supplied with the identifying mark 1500 to show that they all relate to the same subject matter.
In use, a carbon sheet is interposed between the uppermost sheet W of the pad and the un- 10 derlying sheet H thereof. Then a letter, notation or memorandum is written on the portion H! with a pencil or other appliance adapted to transfer an impression copy thereof onto the underlying portion 59 of the copy sheet H. The 15 original letter sheet I!) is then detached from the pad along the line l2 and sent to the desired designation, desk or individual. The recipient then places a carbon under the flap l6 and writes the reply with pencil or other appliance, thereby 20 impressing a copy thereof on the underlying portion I5 of the original letter sheet l0 and whereby a copy of the reply is directly associated with the original letter, notation or memorandum on the same sheet. The reply flap Iii is then detached from the original letter sheet and returned to the original writer who, by means of the gummed strip l8, attaches the same to overlie the portion 20 of the corresponding copy sheet II which is then detached and filed, there- 30 by preserving the copy of the original letter, notation or memorandum in conjunction with the reply on the same sheet. Each time a letter, notation or memorandum and reply thereto are transmitted, they are taken care of and filed 35 in the same manner. By this arrangement I thus provide a means of communication in which both the writer and the recipient may readily and conveniently preserve the original communication and the reply thereto in proper association with the copies thereof on the same sheet; in which all bear the same identifying mark; and in which only the original form sent out by the originator is employed. The specific form and arrangement of parts is a simple and effective one for the purpose.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying the invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I therefore do not wish to be limited to the precise details disclosed, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. Communication means comprising a letter sheet having one portion blank and appropriately designated to receive an original communication and another portion blank and appropriately designated to receive a copy of the reply; a detachable reply flap at an edge of said sheet and foldable thereover for impression copying purposes, said flap having a blank portion on its reverse side appropriately designated for a reply; and means for attaching said flap to another sheet.
2. Communication means comprising a letter sheet having one portion blank and appropriately designated to receive an original communication and another portion blank and appropriately designated to receive a copy of the reply; a detachable reply flap at an edge of said sheet and foldable thereover for impression copying purposes, said fiap having a blank portion on its reverse side appropriately designated for a reply; and an associated copy sheet having one portion blank and arranged and appropriately designated to receive an impression copy of the original communication and another portion arranged and appropriately designated for attaching the reply flap thereto, the reverse side of the reply designated side of said reply flap being gummed for attachment thereto.
RALPH FISHER.
