PRIV-A-POST

Abstract: In a card for mailing purposes it is known to fill in an allocated amount of space for writing. In this invention lines are drawn inside the entire length of the card, thus not only allowing four to five times more writing room as in contrast to past and present available cards, but it also features a line of glue along the bottom and side edges thus allowing card to become confidential or private. As card is to be made available folded at its center the outside front of card will have four pre-drawn minimum lines at its appropriate center to accommodate designated mailing address. Upper left hand corner of outside front of card will have four pre-drawn lines for return home address of sender. Upper right hand corner of outside of front of card will have a pre-drawn square line to meet the requirement of postage stamp and to enlighten user as to its purpose. The outside back of card will contain a postcard scene to be sent to mailing recipient or for exclusive use of purchaser. A description of scene or other features will be printed on the outside bottom section of folded postcard.

Description: PRIV-A-POST SPECIFICATIONS This invention relates to a self contained private post card for the purpose of mailing to people in various destinations. It is common for post cards to be mailed to friends and relatives back home, usually showing a picture of a scenic view of the area which you are vacationing or just visiting. This invention will greatly improve the post card now available on the marketplace. Whereas today A s post card allows approximately 1/2 page to write message or note or short letter that is 1/2 page of approximately 3" X 5" in width and length and only on one side of card with picture or scene taking up full side of page on reverse side of written page. With this invention written space for message-note- or short letter will be greatly increased allowing four to five times more writing space then is available with today*s cards. Also whereas today*s post cards are not pre»lined and even with the small writing space allowed user trends to write quite small and often written message tends to slew either up or down whereas this invention allows pre drawn lines allowing normal writing size, and message can be written in clear and concise fashion with no concern of slanting lines either up or down at various angles or degrees. With present day post cards privacy is impossible, since anyone who comes into contact with card can read the message enclosed even before it finds its way to person to whom message is intended. Since privacy is non existent with today*s post cards it is always advisable to not discuss confidential information unless sender and receiver are wiling to permit various people to read contents in route from sender to receiver. Whereas with this invention confidentially and privacy is assured since card will be folded over at its center and glued fully inside. This allows sender of post card to write whatever he/she wishes since the card will not be read by anyone in route to destination. Once card is glued shut by sender it can be opened only by letter opener or some such object used for opening letters. With present post cards mailing address is often times crammed and overlapped with writing of message content and post card description of scene all limited to one side of card thus making for a confusing and often times difficult assessment of proper mailing address by postal officials. Whereas this invention allows four pre drawn minimum length lines neatly presented at center of outside cover of card with no written message or description of scene, this having been accommodated on bottom outside of card. Therefore with this invention the mailing address is quite legible and uninhibited. With present post cards there is no space allowed for return home address of sender. Since often times post cards become lost or misplaced in route to destination, sender will have no way of knowing if card reached its ultimate destination. Whereas this invention will permit a return home address of sender with four minimum length lines to be pre drawn of upper left hand corner of card when mailing address and stamp area is to be located on front of card. If newly invented private post card for some reason does not reach its designated party (I.E.!) wrong address • person no longer living at that address, etc. Sender w ll eventually receive return card unopened and can then find new address of person or destroy card or whatever. Present day post cards allow little room for postage stamps to be placed on post card for mailing purposes since written message-address, description of scene are all often times confusingly placed on one side of card and leave little room for postage stamps. Whereas this invention will have a square pre drawn line block the size of a postage stamp on the upper right hand corner of private post card, with plenty of room for additional stamps if necessary and no congestion of space, thus allowing for easy handling by postal officials. This invention thereby offers several features of improvement over present post cards now available to be condensed as follows. New invention private post card features 28 pre drawn lines on full inside of private post card increasing by several times the existing writing room. Allows clarity for penmanship. Allows complete privacy of written message by having private post card glued. Allows mailing address in clear precise manner, uninhibited by cluttering of other information. Allows easy readable return address area. Allow sufficient room for postage stamps.
