PATENTED FEB. 27, 1906.
A. B. MAGOUN. COMBINED ENVELOP AND LETTER PAPER.
APPLICATION IILEID SEPT. 13, 1905.
WITNESS E5 ABNER B. MAGOUN, OF BRANT ROCK, MASSACHUSETTS.
COMBINED ENVELOP AND LETTER-PAPER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 27, 1906.
Application filed September 13, 1905. Serial No. 278,252.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ABNER B. MAGOUN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brant Rock, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Envelo and Letter-Paper, (Case 13,) of which the fo lowing is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in stationery, consisting of a sheet of paper adapted to be used for letter paper, billheads, or circulars, and so formed and creased that it may be readily folded in such a manner as to hide the part written upon and then sealed, so that the device forms a letterhead and envelop combined in one piece of paper.
The object of the invention is to provide a letter-sheet which after being written upon may be folded to form an envelop and which will save paper and also expense in postage.
My improved envelop-sheet may be used either for letter-paper, bill-heads, or the same may be used for circulars by printing upon one face and folding and sealing the sheet, as hereinafter described.
In addition to the advantage of cheapness and the saving of postage my improved envelop-sheet possesses the further advantage that a letter written thereon and sent through the mail has upon its back or outside the bra cial stamp of the post-office through which it is sent, thus affording information or legal proof that the letter was mailed and the time or date on which it was mailed.
The invention consists in a sheet of paper having a portion thereof cut out to form an opening, the portion of said sheet thus cut out remaining attached at one side thereof to said sheet and constituting a flap, said flap preferably gummed upon its inner face and adapted to be folded over and secured to said sheet after certain portions of said sheet have been folded over upon each other, as hereinafter described, and particularly as set forth in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a sheet of paper formed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the sheet of paper folded transversely thereacross. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the sheet folded transversely thereacross, as in Fig. 2, and 'with the two sides thereof folded longitudinally of said sheet toward each other at right angles to said first fold. Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the sheet folded as in Fig. 3 and again folded transversely thereof parallel to said first fold.
Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
In the drawings, 8 is a sheet of paper creased transversely thereof along the line 9. A portion 10 ofsaid sheet 8 is cut out from said sheet, forming an opening 11 therein, the portion of said sheet thus cut out constituting a flap, which remains attached at one side 14 there of to said sheet, said flap being preferably gummed at 12 upon its inner face. The flap 10 is preferably beveled at its opposite ends 13 13.
The printed or written matter is placed upon the inner face of the sheet of paper 8, or that face of the paper which is visible in Fig. 1. The sheet is first folded transversely thereacross along the line 9, said line 9 being in alinement with the side 14 of the flap 10, which remains attached to the sheet 8 after saidfiap has been cut from the sheet of paper to form the opening 11, as shown in Fig. 2. Second, the two sides 15 and 16 of said sheet are folded longitudinally of said sheet toward each other, as shown in Fig. 3, along the lines 17 and 18, respectively, at right angles to the line 9. Thus said sides 15 and 16 are folded inwardly toward each other at right angles to the direction in which the two halves of the paper were first folded toward each other along the line 9. Third, the sheet is folded transversely thereof along the line 19, Fig. 3, thus folding the sheet into the form illustrated in Fig. 4. The flap 10 is then turned over upon the folded sheet and attached thereto by moistening the gummed surface, as illustrated in Fig. 4 in dotted lines, or, if preferred,
said flap may be attached to the folded portion of the sheet by means of seals.
It will be seen that by forming the flap for sealing the sheet as hereinbefore described there is no waste of material in cutting out the sheets of paper from a web of paper or from large sheets, as said flap is inclosed within the body of the sheet.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A combined envelop and sheet of letter-paper consisting of a sheet of paper having a portion thereof cut out to form an opening, the portion of said sheet thus out out remaining attached, at one side thereof, to said sheet and constituting a flap, said sheet first folded transversely thereacross in alinement with said attached side; second, the two sides of In testimony whereof I have hereunto set said sheet folded longitudinally of said sheet my hand in presence of tWo subscribing Wittoward each other, at right angles to said nesses.
