ANDREW J. BITTER, OF RAI-IWAY, NEW JERSEY.
ENVELOPE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 519,093, dated May 1, 1894.
Application filed April 10, 1898., Serial No. 469 783. (No model.)
To whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, ANDREW J. BITTER, a
resident of Rahway, county of Union, andv from breakage, as is the case where sealingwax is placed directly on the paper, of which the following is a specification.
I attain these objects by means that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1, represents the folded or made up envelope A in full form, the edges being riveted together with the eyelets or solid rivets on all sides except at the opening at the top where valuable packages are supposed to be passed in. Fig. 2 is the envelope entirely closed the opening at the top being riveted down with eyelets same as the other parts. A safety string is passed through all of the eyelets or eyelet holes to the center hole at the top, and from thence into an adjustable receptacle which is attached to the envelope and sealed down with sealing-wax. Fig. 3, is the adjustable pan or receptacle for holding the sealing-wax and protecting the same from breakage, the pan being attached to the envelope by means of lugs or otherwise.
Similar letters refer to similar parts.
The envelope A is constructed of good strong paper generally used for such purposes andfolded as shown at Figs. 1 and 2, and instead of holding the envelope A together in the old way with adhesive substances only, I rivet the edges together with eyelets e c e e, the same being placed about one quarter of filing ofi of the eyelets e c e e, I pass a safety string, tape or wire B through the eyelets or eyelet holes the ends meeting at the top and passing through the center hole H into the receptacle or pan D where the ends of the safety string B are permanently fastened down with the seali'ngwax E, and stamped in the usual way as shown at E Fig. 2.
The receptacle or pan D is fastened to the back of the envelopeAby means of lugsF F cut from the bottom of the pan D and securely clasped inside of the envelope Aas at F F Fig. 1. t
I do not claim any particular shape or form or kind of paper for the construction of the envelope A. Nor do I claim any particular substance for the safety string B, or any particular form or size or number of eyelets e c c e for holding the edges of the envelope together, or any particular size or form for the sealing-Wax receptacle.
What I doclaim as my invention, and desire to secure to me by Letters Patent, is
A safety envelope having a wax-pan firmly secured to one of its sides, the sides, ends, and flap of the envelope being provided with suitable eyelet-holes, and a securing string, the string being adapted to be passed through the eyelet holes and have its ends secured in the wax-pan, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
