Definitions
- the present invention relates to a postal envelope or writing support, intended in particular, but not exclusively, to allow the writing and routing of correspondence.
- correspondence was sent to the post office in the form of folded sheets sealed with wax seal.
- the envelope intended to protect the correspondence support, which is generally a sheet of paper included, after ' folding - in the envelope.
- the envelope is sealed using a pre-gluing which is carried by a tab sticking on the side of the envelope opposite to that carrying the stamp and the address. Under these conditions, the front side of the envelope cannot be decorated. The same goes for the back side which carries the adhesive strips of the envelope.
- the postcard makes it possible to address a correspondence by marking the origin of the emission most often by a reproduction of landscape or monument, unless the illustration is not more light or with humorous vocation.
- the disadvantage of the postcard is that unlike the letter slipped in an envelope, closed by sticking or by any other means, it has no character of confidentiality. In addition, the area reserved for correspondence is reduced, which is not always an advantage.
- stamp corresponding to the routing fee is printed.
- These integers can be postcards or a sheet of paper whose edges are coated with glue which allows it to be folded according to a standardized format.
- Non-traditional postal envelopes have already been proposed.
- US-A-3,762,630 proposes to form the envelope by meeting edge to edge of two cards, one of which is decorated and the second of which bears the service particulars and the stamp. But this envelope closed by an adhesive tab opens by tearing dotted lines which is often inconvenient.
- US-A-1,985,103 describes a window envelope comprising a tab, integral with an edge of the envelope intended to allow redirection, the tab being able to be detached from the envelope and returned to the sender as acknowledgment of receipt or purchase order.
- US-A-3,371,851 discloses a packaging for collectibles which is intended to remain closed to prove the date of shipment. This package including a window allows to see the room or the like.
- the present invention relates to a correspondence support making it possible to overcome the drawbacks of known supports, thanks to an envelope, a writing support, an adhesive seal, all three complementary and functionally inseparable.
- the postal envelope comprising an envelope, a sheet constituting the writing medium made of paper or cardboard or the like and closing means, the stamps, the address and the closing means being grouped on the same side of the envelope is characterized in that the closing means consist of a flap comprising an adhesive region, integral with the writing sheet.
- the envelope constitutes a rectangular bag open on one of its edges and the sheet comprises a flap carrying an adhesive intended to be stuck on one of the faces of the envelope.
- the opening is thus instantaneous since the correspondence is integral with the flap which suffices to lift.
- one of the sides of the envelope is decorated while the other side has a window which reveals the address of the recipient on the writing medium, the flap folds back on the side from the window.
- the flap may bear the address of the sender for possible redirection of the fold.
- the sender does not write anything on the envelope, the correspondence and the addresses being carried by the writing medium.
- the recipient's address is written in a reserved area of the correspondence sheet, in the standardized format so as to allow automatic sorting of mail.
- One of the faces, as in classic postcards, can be entirely decorated for example by a landscape while the other face is functional, that is to say that it carries the addresses, the stamp and the sealed flap which ensures the inviolability of correspondence as in a sealed letter.
- the fold according to the invention can carry a printed stamp and be distributed in post offices.
- D 1 other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows of a particular embodiment, given solely by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the drawings which represent:
- Figure 1 which shows the front of a fold as it can be shipped, there are on the front side 3 of the envelope 4, the flap 1 which is fixed, in the example shown, by a stamp 2 for example a self-adhesive seal that can imitate a wax seal.
- the envelope 4 comprises two faces 3 and 5 which are glued internally on two or three sides and whose fourth side 6 is open.
- the front 3 also carries a postage stamp 7 which can be printed or pasted.
- a window 8 is cut out on the front side 3 so that an address written on the correspondence sheet 9 can be read through this window.
- the window can be closed with a transparent shutter, for example made of cellophane.
- the user is guided by a frame 11 printed on the correspondence part 9 and, the postal service can process this mail automatically.
- an area 11a is provided which may appear in gray or in color. '' This creates additional direct communication space which can be used for writing a postscript or any other important information. This space is of course masked by the writing medium 9 when the fold is closed, but it appears immediately as soon as the fold is opened.
- the back 5 of the envelope can be illustrated by any views or drawings, such as a postcard.
- Figure 3 shows the fold during opening.
- the stamp 2 was broken and a part 2a remained stuck on the front 3.
- the correspondence part 9 consisting of a sheet that can be folded in ' two or four ' is slid through the open edge 6. The correspondence can then be read after possible unfolding of the sheet 9.
- the frame 11 printed on the correspondence part makes it possible to center the address in the window.
- FIG. 4 partially represents a correspondence sheet intended to be included in the envelope 4 and which, in the example shown comprises two parts 9 and 9a.
- a line 12 is pre-folded to separate the two components.
- Two other flaps could be provided which would be folded around the upper edge of flaps 9 and 9a.
- the open edge 6 can be one of the large edges of the rectangular envelope 4 but the regulatory location of the stamp must remain accessible.
- the closure of the fold can be obtained by any other traditional pre-gluing means such as an adhesive strip or not.
- the present invention allows an original presentation of the mail which is very practical for the user since it combines the advantages of the postcard and the letter without having the disadvantages, the opening of such a fold being particularly easy.
