Patented Feb. 21, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC COMBINATION STATIONERY AND ENVELOPE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in business and social stationery wherein the writing paper or letter head is made an integral part of the envelope.
One of the principal objects of the invention is to provide stationery of this character wherein the paper may be folded and. embraced by the subsequently folded envelope in such a manner that it may be completely sealed or it may be partly sealed to permit of postal inspection.
Another object of the invention is the pro vision of a window or the like within one of the folds of the stationery to receive in proper position another fold of. the paper on which is contained the name and address of the recipient.
These and other objects will appear as the invention is more the appended claims.
In the drawing- Fig. l is a plan view of my new and improved combination writing paper and envelope in blank form suitably creased for folding, one within the other, to form a sealed package.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the writing paper folded over on itself and partly over on the envelope-forming portion.
Fig. 3 is a view showing the envelope folded and ready to receive the gummed flap in the usual manner.
Fig. 4 is a view showing the envelope completely folded and sealed with the writing sheet folded and entirely contained in the envelope.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing- The preferred form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 1, comprises a sheet of writing paper generally indicated at I and an unfolded envelope generally indicated at 2. The writing paper may be either square or rectangular in shape and provided with fold-indicating lines 3 and 4 whereby the writing paper will be divided into three panels indicated at 5, 6 and 1. Formed integral with, and as a continuation of, the inner end of the panel 6 is the envelope material which is likewise formed into panels 8, 9 and I0 by a continuation of the fold-indicating lines 3 and 4. The outside edge of the panel 9 of the envelope is provided with an integral flap H. The outside edge of the panel 8 is provided with a gummed surface l2.
The folding operation shown in Figures 1 to 4 is as follows: The panel of the form of invention 5 is first folded down along the indicating line 3 to lie against the panel 6. The panel I is then folded over against the panel 5 and the sheet thus folded is then folded over onto the panel 9 along the line l3 which forms the dividing line between the writing paper and the envelope.
At this point in the folding operation it must be determined whether or not the contents of the envelope are to be accessible for postal inspection. If they are, the flap H, is first folded inwardly onto the back side of the panel 6. With the flap H thus in place, the panel HI is then brought upwardly and folded along the indicating line 4 to overlap the back side of the panel 6 and the front face of the fiap I I. Then the sealing flap 8 is brought down and its gummed edge is sealed to the panel Hi. When this is accomplished, it will be noted that the flap II is free to be withdrawn from the interior of the envelope for postal inspection. The gummed edge of the flap 8 should be no longer than the length of the panel I!) so as not to adhere to the flap II.
On the other hand, if the envelope is to be sealed against inspection, the flap H is brought over on top of the back side of the panel In and is thus in position to be overlapped by and secured to the gummed portion l2.
While I have shown a particular form of embodiment of. the invention, I am aware that many minor changes therein will readily suggest themselves to others skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. In an envelope having writing paper formed integral therewith and adapted to be embraced thereby, the combination of an integral flap formed at one end of the envelope and adapted to removably overlap said writing paper when the writing paper is folded within the envelope.
2. An article of the class described comprising a sheet of writing paper adapted to be folded into a plurality of overlapping panels, an envelope-forming blank formed integral with the writing paper and also adapted to be folded into a plurality of panels to receive the folded writing paper, one of said envelope panels being gummed on three of its edges, a flap formed integral with another of the envelope panels and adapted to be folded to adhere to one said gummed edges or to be folded beneath another of said envelope panels for removal therefrom.
