COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Combined Envelopes and Note Paper or Writing Paper
of other Size with Paper also Providing Spaces for Advertizing
or other Purposes.
I CHARLES HARRIS of No. 7 Sanford Place Stoke Newington in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
According to this Invention I combine Envelopes and Note Paper or Writing
paper of other size with paper also providing spaces for advertizing or other purposes
in the manner hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown modes of carrying out my invention.
Figure 1 shows a piece of paper cut into the form (with small piece added, as
after explained) for making up into the combined Envelope and papers intended to
be constructed and it may be cut out of one piece of paper (except as to the small
piece before referred to) which I prefer or out of several pieces gummed or otherwise
joined together.
The Envelope part d is provided with two side flaps b. c. and a top flap a gummed
at the edges as required.
I fold the paper upwards at the line e. f. making the line g. h. meet at the line i, j.
at which point fold the paper again downwards the bottom edge then meeting the
line e. f. I do not confine myself to the number of folds described which may be
increased or diminished according to the purpose for which it is intended and if
increased the length of the paper shown in figure 1 must be also increased by the
length of the paper employed one length for each of the additional folds required if
diminished on the other hand the length will be lessened in like proportion.
Figure 2 shows the paper folded as before described and I then fold the left hand
half at the line k. l. to meet the right hand edge m. n. and figure 3 shews the paper
so folded. It will be found that the top one of the leaves folded as last mentioned
will be only one half the length of the remaining leaves and I therefore cut it at the
bottom from its next succeeding leaf in the manner one would cut the pages of a
book and slip the short leaf under the following leaves
I then add and gum or

page_text: otherwise fasten to the top of the short leaf a small piece of paper of dimensions to
increase the leaf to a size equal to the other leaves and having thus made all the leaves
equal I fold upwards their lower half at the line o. p. so as with the bottom edge to
meet the line 9.
The flaps having been gummed over the folded paper as last described forms the
complete combined Envelope and Note paper with paper providing spaces for
advertising or other purposes fitted for use as shewn in figure 4.
The first or the first and second of the leaves produced by the folding before
described may be used as note paper for writing on and the remaining leaves are
suitable for advertising or for any other purpose requiring space.
The accompanying drawings have reference to the combined Envelope and papers
before described designed to have the paper for writing on of the usual Commercial
Note paper size but I do not confine myself to any particular size applying my
Invention to all sizes Foolscap size Letter paper size or any other size ordinarily or
which may be conveniently used with Envelopes. In deviating from the size of the
paper shown in the drawings the Envelope d shewn in figure 1 must be of the length
(rather full) of the width of the paper employed and the length of figure 1 from Y to Z
must be three times the length of the paper used and in every other respect the
directions before set forth are applicable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
An Envelope and Note or other sized paper for writing on connected together and
combined and arranged with paper providing spaces for Advertising or other purposes
in such manner that the paper for writing upon shall lie by itself in the position
shown at X figure 3 unencumbered with other matter before the Writer with all
other parts except the three flaps a. b. c. invisible to him the folds of paper few or
many required lying behind the paper for writing on and being folded and enclosed
by the flaps a. b. c of the Envelope substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
Dated this 6th day of March 1888.
