Definitions

  • Montague ABSTRACT A continuous strip of successive detachable envelopes in the form of continuous stationery for use in printing mechanism of calculators or computers is produced from superimposed punched webs one of which has folded edge portions forming tabs which are coated with adhesive and bonded to an opposed web, the webs being also bonded along a transverse line between the terminal ends of the side tabs to form successive envelope elements having internal dimensions substantially equal to the external dimensions.
  • a tab formed in the opposed web is bonded to a transverse adhesive line applied to the first web to form the bottom of the envelope and said first web is shaped so that on detachment of each successive envelope element a tuck-in flap is left for the envelope next to be detached.
  • the opposed web is extended laterally to provide a marginal portion bearing sprocket feed holes, said marginal portions being capable of being detached after detachment of successive envelopes from the strip.
  • the present invention relates to continuous strip envelopes supplied scoredready for removal of surplus material, and intended for use on a printing mechanism of an electric accounting machine, being produced by means of two continuous webs which are cut, glued, brought together for assembly, then perforated and folded.
  • Such continuous strip envelopes are frequently used in accounting machines and should therefore include two perforated edges with regularly spaced holes sometimes known as sprocket holes. They are made with a bellows fold, the folds of which correspond to the size of the envelope. This folding permits easy feeding into an accounting or printing machine through which they are fed by means of sprocket wheels which supply them to the printing device which in general prints the address. After leaving the printing or accounting machine the waste is removed from the envelopes in such manner that they have an appearance which is as similar as possible to that or normal envelopes.
  • envelopes are available in the form of pockets or sachets which are open on one side which is parallel to the webs.
  • the assembly of the two webs is effected merely by gluing the two strips and by merely bringing them together without any folding.
  • Cutting is effected mainly to form the envelope flap.
  • Fine perforations to permit the envelopes to be separated from the continuous strip are cut mainly in the glued zones and along the two lateral edges which are perforated with circular sprocket holes.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective top views of two webs intended to form the continuous strip of the present invention, after blanking out but before folding and be fore assembly;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective top view indicating a modification of the blanking out of the web shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the web shown in FIG. 2 after folding and gluing the tabs;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the assembly of the two aforesaid webs
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view partly cut away showing an envelope produced by the two webs assembled according to FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 and 8 are perspective views showing modifications of the webs shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively;
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of an assembly of two webs as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to form envelopes;
  • FIG. 10 is again a perspective view of another modification of the webs, such as those shown in FIGS. 1 or FIGS. 11 and 12 are perspective views of a pair of webs with a modification in the formation of the closure flap of the envelope; and
  • FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the assembly of the webs indicated in FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • the envelope is produced from two continuous webs or strips 1 and 2, respectively.
  • the web 1 is wider than the web 2 since it comprises two margin parts 3 and 4 intended to be dis-carded and having regular spaced perforations 5 such as sprocket holes.
  • the webs 1 and 2 may be preliminarily printed as required.
  • the web 1 is punched out in a regular way at a pitch corresponding to the dimension of the envelopes to form tabs 6 of trapezoidal shape.
  • triangular apertures 7 and 8 are cut, a slit 9 is cut and a crease 10 is formed, the latter defining a bottom of the envelope to be produced.
  • the web 2 is in turn punched out to provide notches 11 and lateral creases or fold lines 12, 13 are formed so as to define tabs l4, 15, lines 12, 13 defining sides of the envelope to be produced.
  • Other transverse creases l6 (defining a top of the envelope to be produced when it is closed), are formed to constitute the tuck flap 17 intended for later closure of the envelope.
  • the notches 11 have a shape intended to provide a trapezoidal form for the tabs 14 and 15. This form is not essential and notches 18 can be provided, as shown in FIG.
  • Each envelope so produced has useful internal dimensions (pocket for holding items therein) of a length (from fold line to fold line 16) as well as a width (from fold line 12 to fold line 13), which are the same as the corresponding outer dimensions of the envelope.
  • FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 where the first web 23, the wider one, which comprises the two perforated margins 24, includes essentially rectangular apertures 26.
  • the first web 23 is placed over the second web 27 similarly to the web 2, but the tabs 28, 29 have a rectangular section to close the two sides of the envelope after gluing as referred to above.
  • the bottoms of the envelopes are formed in each case by a glued zone 30 in the form of a strip of glue which joins the two webs 23 and 27.
  • a perforation 31 is provided on the outer edge of the zone 30 to permit the separation of the two envelopes.
  • the other parts of this modification are identical to those described above and illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6.
  • FIG. 10 it is possible to provide again a first web 32 assembled with a second web, not shown, similar to the web 27 (FIG. 8) and having lateral tabs of rectangular section.
  • tabs 33 are provided pertaining to the bottom of the envelope, said tabs being of rectangular form and having a length corresponding to that of the envelope less the width of the lateral tabs 28, 29 in such manner that the tab 33 can be placed exactly between the lateral tabs.
  • This type of cutting includes rectangular openings 34, a slit 35 and a crease 36.
  • a first web 37 is provided with cut outs similar to those produced in the web 1 to form tabs 38 intended for closing the bottom of the envelope and a second web 39 with tabs 40 and 41 as well as notches 42 arranged in such a way as to obtain a rectangular flap 43 the free ends of which are subsequently cut to trapezoidal shape.
  • the envelopes according to the present invention eliminate the disadvantage referred to above and have the advantage of envelopes having a wide opening on the larger side.
  • a continuous stationary envelope strip comprising superimposed punched webs
  • adhesive means joining said tabs to an opposed of said webs, to form an envelope having an internal dimension substantially equal to the corresponding external dimension
  • a tab formed on the opposed of said webs is adhesively bonded to said one web, to provide a string of envelopes adapted to be severed to form individual envelopes closed on three sides and. with an opening on the fourth side.
  • a continuous envelope strip from which successive envelopes can be severed said strip being intended to be used on a calculator printer, wherein said strip including two superimposed continuous punched webs,
  • one of said webs being cut away and formed with creases to define a folded closing tuck flap for each of said envelopes
  • At least one of said webs being laterally perforated such that complete envelopes can be severed from the others in the strip.
  • one of said webs has the width of the finished web and comprises tabs for the bottom of the envelope transverse to said one of said webs which tabs are folded through 180 before assembly,
  • said margin being detachable to leave a finished envelope having internal dimensions only slightly less than the external dimensions thereof.
  • one of said webs has the width of the finished web and said closure flaps which are cut away, while the other of said webs has a width corresponding to the length of the finished envelope increased by the size of said tabs which are cut and folded through 180 before coating with glue on the desired portions followed by assembly of the webs, and
  • said closure of the bottom of the envelope being effected by a strip of glue and by simple joining of said two webs at the gluing stage.
  • said tabs and said closure flaps are cut to trapezoidal shape and creased at the base.
