Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present specification concerns a model of utility referring to an improved multiuse letter-envelope, the evident purpose of which is to allow it to be used as a postal dispatch, having a message incorporated inside, with possibility of effecting, also, in the same dispatch, an answering area, allowing it to be written thru a computer, relying on a simplified closing method and the incorporation of appropiate address labels, and being capable of being used in every paper sizes considered as appropiate.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention has an application in the industry field devoted to the manufacture of envelopes and similar.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The improved multiuse letter-envelope as proposed by the invention, constitutes per se an evident novelty within the area in which it is incorporated, since starting from same, it is possible to rely on an element which is capable of being used as a letter and, at the same time, as an envelope, and even as an answering sending, which can be manufactured with any type of material and sizes as it would be appropiately convenient, such as, generally paper, and being used conventional machines for its manufacturing, and being used, also, for performing manual texts.

[0004] In a more definite way, the improved multiuse letter-envelope as proposed by the invention is constituted starting from four perforated transverse strips.

[0005] Three out of the four perforated transverse strips are of identical size, generally about a half a centimeter high, and located at the lower part of a sheet, and two longitudinal strips, one at each side, in a vertical position having a same width.

[0006] When appropiate, these transverse strips will expedite the - opening of the multiuse envelope by the addressee.

[0007] The fourth strip, situated at the upper part, is markedly wider, and its function is to be used as an incorporation area of the addressee's address.

[0008] This fourth strip, by tearing or sticking on the window of the envelope, saves at maximum the paper, either folding it in an opposite sense for coinciding with the typical window, or, lastly, for being used at the area corresponding to an envelope with no window.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] In order to complement this descripcion and aid to a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the appending drawings, which are a part of this specification, show, by way of illustrative and non-limiting sense, the following figures:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a continuous paper sheet improved multiuse letter-envelope module, showing the beginning of the rear side and the final of the front side.

Figure 2 shows the object folded of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the object of the invention in an optional embodiment.

Figure 4 is a view of the folded object, shown in Fig. 3.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a possible optional illustration of the object shown in the preceding figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0010] From Figures 1 and 2, it can be seen that the improved multiuse letter-envelope is constituted starting from a sheet of paper fitted with longitudinal side strips (2) having perforations in order to facilitate the drag of a printing machine; these strips can be eliminated after performing the letter printing thru longitudinal precutting lines, there being a transverse precutting or scoring line (4), separating the body of each of the multiuse letters located in a continuous way.

[0011] In each improved multiuse letter-envelope or module (1), there are transverse lines (4) delimiting rectangular areas in the module or sectors, three of the sectors being similar, and the fourth one (8) being markedly smaller, being perforated and glued since its function is to be used in a half as a label, and once this has been cut and glued internally on the window, the address of the own label will be externally visible.

[0012] Figure 2 shows the manner in which the improved multiuse letter-envelope can be used with no window, since a half the smaller size sector (8) is intended for incorporating the label, and the other half non used can be used for incorporating the sender's address.

[0013] The whole area (8) is to be fitted with a glue or adhesive film on its rear side.

[0014] The address is to be glued on the exterior of the envelope at the height to be occupated by the window, and the sender's name on the rear side of the envelope.

[0015] The closing of the improved multiuse letter-envelope is completed by means of glued strips (3) and (9), acting for this purpose.

[0016] In short, the invention contemplates a continuous paper sheet separated by means of scoring lines (4) transversally situated, - delimiting three rectangular areas (10) of similar size and one of them smaller (8), this latter presenting an area to fix a label (8'), and having adhesive lines (9) for facilitating the union of the different bodies configuring the multiuse letter-envelope - which is the object of the present invention.

[0017] In one option, the label (8') can be located without being cut, and being only folded in an opposite sense to the other foldings, the label (8') being coincidental with the window (11).

[0018] In a marginal and simplified embodiment, the invention can present exclusively two lateral strips and three horizontal strips located at the lower part of the multiuse letter-envelope, these - three strings being the most essential ones for their positioning, which is a fundamental characteristic: in the multiuse letter-envelope.

[0019] It is not considered necessary to extend this description for any expert in the art to understand the scope of the invention and the advantages derived from it.

[0020] The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the components will be open to variation, provided that it does not imply any alteration to the essence of the invention.

[0021] The terms under which this specification has been described should be always taken in an ample and non-limitative sense.

Claims

1. An improved multiuse letter-envelope, of these constitutes starting from a continuous paper sheet, characterized in that it is constituted starting from three glued and perforated strips located at the lower side, plus two side strips situated vertically, constituting three rectangular areas (10) of identical size, and one smaller area (8), wherein is optionally incorporated a folded or detachable label (8'), having an adhesive in the latter - area, the rectangular areas (10) being separated by scoring lines (4) transversally situated, one of the areas (10) presenting a zone (11) wherein a label (8') is incorporated, having at one of the ends three scoring lines (3) and having at sides glued bands (9).
