A Combined Letter and Envelope.
I, URSMAR DE SAINT-MOULIN, of Mons, Belgium, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction of a combined letter and envelope as
I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Fig. 1 a single sheet of paper is folded in three parts ABC. The
parts A and B are of the size of any convenient sheet of letter paper. The
part C which constitutes the envelope has a middle part 6 and three flaps a, c, d,
gummed a along the edge n, c along and d and fg and k. When a and c are
folded over as shewn in Fig. 21s they meet along u v. The part is a little more
than half the length of B, so as to facilitate the fold as indicated by the dotted line
in Fig. 1. The opposite of bears the address and stamp. The part A being
folded over B along the line os, and being folded behind B, the sheet for
writing the letter is presented as shewn in Fig. 2, three pages being available for
writing, namely both sides of A and the front of B, and press copies can be made.
To close the letter, A and B are folded together in half then turned over so that
the whole appears as in Fig. 3; the gummed edges up and qr being then moistened,
they are turned over and made to adhere, and in like manner the edge f g k being
moistened, the seal flap is fixed closing the whole as shewn in Fig. 5, the other
side shewn in Fig. 4 is plain to receive stamp and address. There is no difficulty
in opening the letter. The side flaps as well as the seal flap are cut or torn along
the folds leaving them still gummed to B,the inner part of which is then folded out,
so that the whole appears as in Fig. 7 on the one side and Fig. 6 on the other, the
part having the address and stamp remaining attached to the letter but without the
gummed flaps which remain attached to the back of B, where they cause no
inconvenience. The addressed side may be folded back so as to leave the sheet in
rectangular form as shewn in Figs. 8 and 9.
