I ENVELOP. APPLICATION FILED DEU.21,1908.

Patented June 1, 1909.

ATTORNEYS declare the following to UNITED srarrns rnnr onrron.

. BENJAMIN JOACHIM, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

ENvEL'or.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, BENJAMINJOAQHIM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of N 7 Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envolo s; and I do hereby be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such'as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refer enee being had to the accompanying drawings, and to' figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. 7 J

This invention relates to an envelop which is of a form that requires a blankwhich is square, and therefore is out without waste of material.

The invention also provides an envelop which can be sealed, but which, also permits the sealing flap to be tucked into a fold so thatthe envelop can be fastened in a way to permit its being sent through the mail other than first class.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, 1n which- Figure 1 1s a view of a blank. Fig. 2 1s a perspective view of the blank at its first fold ing, and Fig. 8 is a similar viewwith the folding more complete d. Fig. 4 is a perspective View showing the scaling flap entering the fold where it is placed when not sealed. Fig. 5 is a blank with securing slots therein, and Fig. 6 illustrates the function of the slots.

The envelop is formed from a blank 10 which is square and can be easily and eco-' nomieally cut. The blank is scored or suitably marked as to the folding places at four parallel linesin one direction, and two para-L .lel lines in a direction at right angles to the first mentioned lines.

In the drawing the scored

lines

11, 12, 13

and 14 are shown horizontally, and the vertieal lines are at 15 and 16. These lines form a central panel 17, an upper panel 18 and a lower panel 19, these panels being in 'uxtaposition. The panels are in a row an extend in a directionleading from one corner of the blank to the corner diagonally across. Between the upper folding line 11 andone point of the blank is formed the sealing fia 20, and the opposite end of the line '14 an the point of the blank form the end lie .21. Flanking the central panel are the si e flaps 22 and 213, and flanking the upper and lower panels are the wings is; as in Fig.

as in Fig. 4.

I Application "filed December 21, 1908. Serial No..468,421.

1. The bottom panel 19 is folded first, as in Fig. 2, and the

end flaps

22 and 23 are folded over across the central and lower panels, at the same time inclosingthe lower wings 24.

Then the envelop appears as in Fig. 3, and

when the parts so folded are swung together, the sealing flap 20 can be stuck to the outside of the central panel 17. ll desired, however, the scaling flap can be slid in between'the panel 17 and the folded side fia s The blank can be cut with t ie slots 25 in one side flap and so disposed v that they are in a position to receive the point 26 of the opposite side flap, when the envelop is folded as in Fig. 6.

The envelop can be used for carrying articles to a destination, or the blank itself can be printed on one side with advertisingmatter, or any desired use can be made of the same. When the envelop is to be used for carrying articles or papers of value, security the locking of the side flaps shown in Fi' 6.

The central, upper and lower panelsare o the same or nearly the same dimensions, and this is the preferred comparative sizes of the o posite elements of the other parts of the b ank;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. An envelop formed from a square blank having a central panel, upper panel and lower panel of the same dimensions, fla s on the ends of the upper panel andthe ower panel, side flaps flanking thecentral panel, and wings connecting the side flaps, the upper panel and the lower panel.

2. vAn envelop formed from a square blankhaving a central panel, upper panel and lower panel of the same dimensions, fia s on the ends of the upper panel and the ower panel, side flaps flanking the central panel, and wings connecting the side fia s, the upper panel and-the lower panel, tie side flaps having co-acting means to lock the side flaps when these flaps are folded across each other.

- 3. An envelop formed of a square blank having a central panel, upper panel and lower panel in a row and extending in a direction leading from one corner of the blank to the corner diagonally across, flaps on the outer edges of the upper and lower panels,

side flaps flanking the, central panel, and

. wings connecting the side flaps with the upper panel and the lewer panel.

An envelop formed of e square blank they will receive the point of the other end having a central panel, upper panel and flap When these flaps are folded across each lower panel in a row and extending in a, diother. rection leading from onecorner of the blank I In testimony, that I claim theforegoing, I
