2 Claims. 1 A The present invention relates to record papers, and more particularly to pay statement and envelope assembly. n
The pay statement of the present invention comprises an envelope adaptedto contain Wages' and a statement blank secured to said envelope and. adapted to be filled with entries or details having reference to `the wages contained in the attached envelope.
One object of the present invention is to Drovide a combined envelope and statement blank which can be easily inexpensively manufactured,
and which can be easily handled, as for example for typing operations in a typewriting machine.
Another object is to provide'an envelope and statement blank assembly Awhich is constructed and outlined to guide typing along those sections free from overlapping sheet edges which might cause any typing overlying said edges to be shaded or be otherwise rendered imperfect.
The present invention provides for a strip which comprises the combination of a continuous sheet subdivided into successive statement blanks by transverse weakened tear lines, and a Atogether along parallel oblong areas between the transverse tear lines, and with'vent openings preventing the formation between the unattached sections of said units of air pockets which may prevent close packing or adversely affect typing ofthe strip.
Various otherobjects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following'particular description, and from an inspection of the accompanying drawings, in whichV Fig. 1 is a top plan .view of a portion of a com posite manifold strip embodying the present invention, but shown without the form printing;
Fig. 2 1s a top plan view of the left hand .end of an envelope statement unit which embodies the present invention, and which is shown filled in with entries and details respecting the wages contained in the attached envelope;
Fig. 3 is a top pian view of the right hand end of the envelope statement unit,v which vhas the duplicate slip and which slip is shown filled in 2| serving the same purpose.
2 with entries and details respecting the Wages contained in the corresponding envelope;
Fig. 4 is a bottom view of a portion of a composite manifold strip embodying the present invention, and shown with an envelope folded back to reveal the gummed areas; I
Fig, 5 shows a side elevation of a composite strip of the present invention folded along each successive transverse tear line into a zig-zag pack; and
vFig. 6 shows a side elevation of a composite strip of the present invention folded along every other tear line, so that each fold leaf comprises two envelope units.
Referring to the drawings, the manifold strip of the present invention comprises a continuous record or statement sheet `II which is divided into successive statement blanks' I2 by a series of transverse weakened tear lines I3 shown formed by a series of spaced perforations, as will be more fully described, and which has a series of equally spaced feed registering apertures I4 along opposite sides thereof. These apertures I4 serve to receive the impaling pins from a feed roller during assembly to feed the continuous record sheet towards junction with the file of advancing envelopes at predetermined registering speed with respect to said envelopes, and may also serve in a similar manner to feed the assembly manifold strip through a typewriter-'when filling out the statement blanks I2.
Each of the statement blanks I2 is divided into an original form .slip I5 and a smaller duplicate form slip I6 by means of a weakened tear line I1, shown as a perforated line extending longitudinally along the record sheet I I and intersecting the transverse tear lines I3 at right angles thereto. v slip I5 has a series of printed box and column Vlines 20, which serve to define the location of the statements to be entered on said slips, and
the duplicate slips I6 may have similar markings Such legends as Employees name, Hrs. worked,"Gross pay. Net pay, and other pertinent notations may be printed on the slips I5 and I6 as shown in Figs. .2 and 3. l
Attached to each original slip I5 is an open side seam envelope 22 having its front panel 23, Fig. 4, adhesively secured to the inner blank face of the statement slip I5 along parallel rectangular transversely spaced elongated areas-24, and having its seal flap 25 extending' transversely of the sheet I I. The envelope 22 is desirably of the so-called nat type formed from a single sheet The outer exposed face of the original of uniform tearing strength.
Vof the pack are about the same.
I ving statement slip l5, and is ,confined within the rectangular boundaries thereof to permit these slips I5 with attached envelopes to be readily separated along the tear lines I3, to permit easy vseparation of the duplicate slips I6 along the tear lines I1, and to allow easy zig-,zag folding of the manifold strip along the transverse tear lines I3.
The longitudinal edges of the envelopes 22` are spaced a short distance from the tear lines I3,4
andthe gummed areas 24 maybe spaced 'a short distance inwardly from these envelope edges or they may extend to said edges so that the transverse sections of the composite strip extending along the tear lines I3 and'between adjoining envelopes are of single ply, and easily foldable.
along said tear lines. The composite strip is folded alternately along V its tear lines I3 in opposite directions in the form of a zig-zag pack. In Fig. 5 this packv is shown slightly expanded andformed with the composite strip folded along each successive tear line I3, so that each leaf contains a` single statement blank l2 and an attached envelope. folding of the composite strip along eachtear line has the advantage of rendering all of these lines As far as certain aspects of the invention are concerned; the composite strip of the present invention can be folded along tear lines I3 in any ordinal sequence desired. For example, in Fig. 6
l is shown a slightly expanded zig-zag pack in which the composite strip is folded along every other tear line I3. so that every leaf contains more than one blankl I2, two statement blanks withvtwo attached respective envelopes being shown. v i
It should be noted from Figs. 5 and 6 that by Vpositioning the envelopes with their flaps extendpockets'28 between the' gummed areas 24. Air accumulating in the pockets 23 will vent freely through the slits 30, so that the different unglued ing transversely of the strip, these flaps will extend alternately on opposite sides of the zig-zag pack, Vso that the number of plies on opposite sides The pack will therebylay flat and will not tendto extend fanwise'as in the case of a pack containing unequal numbers of. plies lon opposite sides.
The ungummed `sections 28 of the composite stripseparating the ungummed sections 24form pockets, and unless the air from these pockets is permitted to escape freely, close zig-zag packing of the strip will be difiwicult and typing on the strip will be defective. 'The ordinary tear lines consisting of a series of short slits, are effective to weaken the lines for tearing, but would be too small and too confining to permit free escape of air therethrough. To permit the free escape ofair from the pockets 28, the tear lines I3 in accordance with the present invention consist of a series of the usual short tear perforations 29 opposite the ends of the gummed areas 24, and longer air ventl slits30 opposite .the ends of said pockets. These slits 30 are desirably long enough to extend across the iull width o thel plies for each unit of the composite strip will vlie close together in a pack and enable the web to lie close to the platen of .the typewriter.
In the use of the composite strip described, the strip is fed from a zig-zag pack of the type shown in Figs. 5 and 6 around the platen of a typewriter by means of suitable l pins on the platen, said pinsv engaging in registeringfapertures I4, and the originalA and-,duplicate statement slips I5 and I6 are iilled in with the required entries pertaining to the wages to be enclosed in the attached envelope as shown in Figs. 2
It should be noted that the box and column markings 20 in the original statment slip I5 'and the printed legends thereon are arranged to guide typing on those areas ofthe -strip which do not overlie overlapping sheet edges `as shown in Figs. '2 and 3. Forexample, the b ox outline 35 has its ends spaced inwardly from the edges of the envelope tabs 21, and the column lines 36 have their upper ends spaced below the outer edge of theseal flap -25in closed position f said flap. These markings 35 and 36 with the correspending printed legends serve as a guide for the typist, so that no typingis done on the sheet overlying overlapping sheet edges, thereby maintaining the typing on-the sheet uniform.
After typing of thee statement slips I5 and I6 above referred, the composite strip can be severed along the tear lines I3 intcrindividual units, and the envelopes 22 iilled. The employee receives lthe wage envelope 22 with attached statementV slip I5, while the duplicate slip I6 is retained by the employer.
I have describedywhat 1 believe to be the nest` embodiments of my invention. I do not wish, however, to' be Vconfined to the embodiments shown but what I desire to cover by Letters Pat ent is set forth in the appended claims.
' I claim: 1
1. A composite strip comprising a continuous sheet subdivided into successive statement blanks by a series of transverse tear linesand envelopes gummed to said blanksA respectively along parallel areas extending between successive tear lines with the flaps of said envelopes extending on the outside of said sheet, said tear lines being lformed with slits opposite the ends of the ungummed' areas extending across the full width of said ungummed areas tov form vent openings for the pocketsdefinedI by said latter areas.
2. A composite strip comprising a continuous sheet subdivided into successive statement blanks by a series of transverse tear lines, and envelopes gummed to said blanks respectively along parallel areas extending between successive tear lines with the ilaps of said envelopes extending on the outsideof said sheet, said tear lines being formed with a seriesA of short perforations opposite: the ends of the gummed areas and formed with vsubstantially longer perforations opposite the ends of the ungummed areas to form vent openings for the pockets defined by Said ungummed areas.
