PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New Envelope with Double Closing Lids.
I, ROSARIO GREGORIO RAVESI Merchant, 3 Garibaldi Street Catania, Italy
(Sicily), do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
The new envelope according to the drawings A, B, C herewith, has in plant six
surfaces or composing and three accessory parts.
It is cut in a way to have two closing lids N1 & N.4 one turning on the
fore-face N 3 and one on the back N 2; the former N 1 is for the sender to close
the envelope, the second N 4 remains folded inside for the use of closing by
receiver.
They may have a minor or greater length and width following the desire that
the address should be written on them as in A B, or not, as in C and that the
gummed sides around the perforation should fold on the back N 2 or gum on the
fore face N 3. For the lateral closing it has two small lids which by greater
security can have the strips N 6 compenetrated and gummed in the cuts N 7.
Such strips in A & C are attached and start from the back of the envelope N 2
turning and being gummed on the fore face N 3 whilst in B are attached and start
from N 3 and turn on N 2.
Such an envelope can be manufactured in all dimensions and shapes, out of any
paper or linen according to be used for correspondence, samples or values and can
be plain without any writing on or with sayings either printed or figured even in
colors, and is to bear the name of "Columbus Envelope.'
