Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of franki mail, hereinafter referred to as postal dispatch or dispatch.
  • frank-devices or postage-paid devices have the form of postage stamps.
  • Certain postcards and letter-cards having printed thereon images of postage stamps are also referred to as frank-devices, or at times frank-emblems or frank-characters.
  • a common feature with all frank-devices is that they constitute proof that the requisite postage has been paid. It is also common practice in companies and insti ⁇ tutions to substitute the postage stamp with a correspon ⁇ ding frank-stamp, using to this end a so-called franking machine.
  • One object of the present invention is to reduce the amount of work required of the clerk in this respect.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a novel method for franking a postal dispatch, or mail, which can be applied to postal machines of the kind which include a printing machine assigned to the post-office clerk and designed to produce an individually marked frank-device which records the postage fee, in response to electrical signals fed to the printer and representing, inter alia, the weight of the dispatch, the type of dispatch, the country to which it is addressed, and other information concerning matters significant to the postage cost of said dispatch.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a frank-device used in accordan with the invention
  • FIGS 2 and 3 illustrate two different modes in which the invention can be applied.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a label 1 which can be separate into two parts by the postal clerk, with the aid of a per ⁇ forated line 2, i.e. a first label-part 3 and a second, somewhat narrower label-part 4.
  • the label-part 3 is intended to be affixed to a postal dispatch, preferably with the aid of gum or some other suitable adhesive ' . Consequently, the rear side of the label is suitably gummed or provided with a self-adhesive coating, to this end.
  • the label-part 4 is intended for the customer, as a receipt or as proof that the dispatch has been handed in for postage.
  • the label-part 4 is therewith affixed suitabl to the sending certificate issued to the customer, in thos cases when such proof of sending is issued, (e.g. in the
  • the label-part 4 can replace the conven ⁇ tional receipt and proof of dispatch, at present written manually.
  • the references 5 and 6 are date-giving markings
  • the references 7 and 8 indicate the time of .posting
  • the reference 9 indicates the dispatc number
  • the references 10 and 11 indicate the post office at which the dispatch, or mail, was posted
  • the reference 12 indicates the category under which the dispatch falls
  • the reference 13 indicates the country to which the dis- patch is addressed

  • the reference 16 indicates the postage fee.
  • the illustrated frank-device has solely been provide with examples of conceivable markings and the label may, o course, bear other markings. Examples of such other markin include diverse text, device-marks, or code notations.
  • the label 1 preferably comprises a heat-sensitive paper.
  • a heat-sensitive layer having a thickness of from 5-10 y this layer normally consisting of a binding agent and one or more types of colour-promoting, active components, depending upon whether it is intended to display a single or a multi-colour print.
  • the active components comprise finely divided, discrete particles dispersed in the binding agent.
  • One of the two colour-promoting components is a colourless substance which produces a colour when reacted with an organic acid, while the other component is an organic acid, comprising substantially a phenol compound having a melting point of 60°C or thereabove.
  • the colourless substance may comprise, for example, a violet anhydride, and the phenol compound biphenol A.
  • Such heat-sensitive paper is provided with individual
  • OMPI markings or "printed matter", i.e. the production of a given colour at selected locations on the paper, by passi said paper through a printing machine designed herefor an provided with a printing station having arranged therein a plurality of heatable pins, the paper being arranged to pass through the station either closely adjacent the pins or in contact therewith.
  • printing machines are conventionally called printers.
  • Colour can be generated at selected locations on th paper, i.e. the paper can be "printed" in a given colour, by heating corresponding pins to a given temperature.
  • the use of such heat-sensitive paper enables, inter alia, markings to be formed in the bright-red colour hitherto prescribed by the postal authorities in respect, for exam of post-office rubber-stamps.
  • FIG. 2 is a block schematic illustrating one mode in which the aforedescribed frank-device can be used.

  • the reference 5 identifies an operating unit provided wit a keyboard by means of which postal procedures, so-called service procedures, can be transmitted to the unit 4. Examples of such service procedures are "goods”, “letters” 'parcel” etc.. Certain additional functions are also found, such as "express”, “insured”, etc..

  • a printer 7 prints the aforedescribed frank-device.
  • the aforesaid display-parts 6 and 6a show the costs incurred for the postal service requested.
