Definitions

  • ABSTRACT material being attached to a first removable tear strip 521 US. Cl 229/69, 229/85, 282/11.5'A, located at one end of the envelope, the insert m ri l 282/25 being attached to a portion of the envelope, a second [51] Int.
  • This invention relates generally to an assembly of series-connected envelopes and more particularly to such an assembly wherein each envelope contains both insert material and transfer material, the latter being capable of easy removal from its envelope while retaining the insert material therewithin.
  • spot carbon material is generally provided on the underside of the envelope top ply so that, during the printing operation, indicia may be transferred through the master sheet and the envelope top ply and on to the insert material.
  • a spot of carbon or transfer material is provided at the underside of each insert sheet except for the lowermost one.
  • economic and other factors may dictate the use of sheets of transfer material disposed between each insert sheet and between the envelope top ply and the top insert sheet. Such a construction is not, however, without its drawbacks. When using sheets of transfer material, such sheets along with the inserts must be extracted by the ultimate recipient with the exercise of due care in assuring that the inserts are not smudged during or after extraction.
  • the present invention offers another approach in avoiding the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an envelope stuffed with both insert and transfer sheets wherein the envelope is so constructed as to permit removal of only the transfer sheets after the printing operation but before being sent to the ultimate recipient. This is the principal object of the present invention.
  • Another object is to provide such an assembly of stuffed, sealed envelopes in which the transfer sheets are attached to a first removable tear strip to facilitate extraction of the transfer sheets, while a second removable tear strip is provided on each envelope for freeing the inserts by the ultimate recipient.
  • FIG. Us a perspective view of an assembly of stuffed, sealed envelopes interconnected along transverse lines of weakening and constructed in accordance with the present invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are sectional views of one of the stuffed, sealed envelopes taken respectively along the lines 2-2 and 33 of FIG. I; I
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the manner in which the transfer sheets are removed.
  • FIG. 5 is a viewsimilar to FIG. 4 showing the first tear strip and transfer sheets completely removed from the envelope, and the envelope r esealed before it reaches the ultimate user.
  • FIG. 1 an assembly of envelopes ll serially interconnected along transverse lines of weakening 12.
  • the assembly is provided with a feed back 13 interconnected at opposite ends of the envelope plies along lines 14 of perforations.
  • Each feed band is, of course, provided with a series of feed holes 15 for cooperating with the pins of a tractor feed or similar feed device in transferring the assembly through the printer, burster,
  • Each envelope 1] is shown as comprising a front ply l6 and a back ply l7 interconnected along its opposite sides by means of strips of adhesive 18, shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, and interconnected along opposite ends through inserts 22 by means of adhesive strips 19,
  • each envelope is, of course, contiguous although they are illustrated in each of FIGS. 2 to5 asspaced-apart in the interest of clarity.
  • Sheets 21 of transfer material and insert sheets 22 are disposed alternately within each envelope formed by the interconnected front and back plies;
  • a front master record ply normally overlies and/or underlies the assembly 10. Of course, more than one of such record plies may be provided if desired.
  • the insert material, 'shown as sheets 22, may also be in the form of a return envelope or card elements without departing from the teachings of the invention.
  • Each insert is removably secured in registry with top ply 16 at one end (shown at the right in FIG. 2) to the front and back plies by means of adhesive strips 19.
  • each insert sheet 22 is also secured to plies l6 and 17 by means of adhesive strips 19.
  • a line 24 of perforations is provided in each insert at this opposite end of the envelope, and a line 25 of perforations is provided in each insert at their one end.
  • Transfer sheets 21 are secured to an insert 22 lying therebelow along strips 23 of adhesive located outwardly of the lines 24 .of perforations.
  • Lines 14 and 24 of perforations are designed to present connecting ties which are weaker than the connecting ties presented by lines 25.- Accordingly, a first removable tear-strip 13 is provided for each envelope which includes the feed band on the plies at the left end and a portion of each insert outwardly of lines 24. The remaining side and end edges of each transfer sheet are free of attachments and lie inwardly of the front and back ply adhesive connections as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • said second tear strip includes a-thum'b tab provided on said plies to facilitate .easier freeing of said insert material from said envelope.
