UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE D. VAN ARSDALE, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
ENVEL'OP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 708,098, dated September 2, 1902. Application filed December 12, 1901. $erial No. 85,594. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE D. VAN ARS- DALE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envelops, of which the following is a clear, full,and exact description.
My invention relates to an envelop; and my object is to provide an envelop with a simple device by which the envelop may be torn open. My invention will be defined in the claims.
In the drawings showing the preferred embodiment of my invention, Figure 1 represents the envelop-blank. Fig. 2 shows the envelop completed. Fig. 3 shows an end view of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrow, and Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show detail sections illustrating how the parts are folded in this embodiment.
1 is the front face of an envelop of a common size when completed, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the flaps thereo 6 is a portion located between the front face and one flap, preferably at one end that is, the side next to the loose. flap 5, as shown-and preferably also integral with both said face and flap. This portion 6 is doubled, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, to form a strip running along the edge of the envelop. The strip may be doubled twice over, as shown in Fig. 6, if preferred. It will be obvious that this strip may be formed in a variety of ways. I also prefer to extend the doubled portion 6 into a projection 7 at the end and bend the same backward, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, so that it may be easily grasped by the fingers. The doubled strip is comparatively strong and may be torn off, thus opening the envelop. This is particularly so where the portion 6 is doubled twice over, as shown in Fig.
6, for the strip then tends even more to tear itself cleanly off from the envelop. I prefer to cause one or both of the flaps 3 5, adjoining the strip, to overlie the strip, so as to hold it flat, and in the embodiment shown the flap 3 extends over the backwardly-bent projection 7. (See Figs. 2 and 3.) The gum 8 is not extended far enough along to cause the projection to adhere to flap 3. Consequently the projection'can be pulled out from under the flap without danger of being itself torn off from the rest of the strip.
I am aware that the construction illustrated may be considerably varied, particularly in the formor location of the strip, without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I therefore do not desire to be limited to the particular embodiment shown.
What I claim is 1. An envelop having a front face and a flap, and a portion between and integral with said face and flap and doubled to form a strip running along one edgeand outside of said envelop, said strip having a backwardly-bent projection free from the body of said envelop by which said strip may be torn off to open said envelop, one of the flaps thereof overlapping and holding said projection.
2. An envelop having a front face and a flap, and a portion between and integral with said face and flap and doubled twice over to form a strip running along one edge and outside of said envelop at one end thereof, said strip having a backwardly-bent projection free from the body of said envelop by which said strip may be torn off to open said envelop, said envelop also having a second flap extending over part of said backwardly-bent projection to hold the same in place.
Signed at New York, N. Y., this 18th day of November, 1901.
