I WALTER POPE of Baston House Netherball Gardens Hampstead in the County
of Middlesex, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
--
In this invention my improved envelope consists in lengthening the sealing flap of
an ordinary envelope and forming an elongated sealing flap, provided to fold into one
or more folds round the body or pocket of envelope, upon the said elongated folding
sealing flap on one or both sides thereof space is provided for the insertion of
advertisements, artistic designs and printed matter, a blank space may also be left for
writing on.
The uppermost edges of the elongated folding sealing flap are cut to any shape or
pattern and are gummed for the purpose of sealing the envelope and contents thereof,
when folded round the pocket or body of envelope. Upon the outside front of the
elongated folding sealing flap, I provide with an embossed postage stamp or an adhesive
stamp may be used or such space may be left plain. I also provide upon the front
aforesaid a blank space for writing the address on the envelope.
I also form side flaps to the elongated folding sealing flap, cut to any design or
pattern provided to fold in one or more folds on to the inside of elongated folding
sealing flap, upon these side folding flaps on one or both sides thereof space is provided
for the insertion of Advertisements, artistic designs and printed matter, a blank space
may also be left for writing on.
In one modification of these side folding flaps I fold them in some cases on to one
or more of the folds of front of elongated folding sealing flap, or they may be folded
on to the back or front side of the pocket of envelope, in the latter case I usually
secure thein thereto by the gummed edges of the elongated folding sealing flap. In
any case these side folding Haps provide privacy and security to the contents in the
pocket of envelope. In some cases the edges of these side folding flaps may be gummed.
It is obvious that my said invention may be used with advantage in varying degrees
of utility for advertising and other purposes.

page_text: WALTER POPE, Baston House Netherhall Gardens Hampstead in the County of
Middlesex, Architect, 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:
In this invention my improved envelope consists in cutting and forming an envelope
of any desirable size out of a piece or pieces of paper or card or other writing material,
whereby the sealing flap is lengthened and provided to fold into one or more folds on
to the body or pocket of envelope, connected and in combination therewith I form
join or otherwise attach thereto at its lower edge, the pocket of envelope with the mouth
of same either in a downward or upward direction, upon the elongation aforesaid on
one or both sides thereof and also upon the face and back of pocket of envelope
respectively fields or spaces are provided for advertising upon by means of artistic
designs and printed matter, a portion or part of spaces thus provided may be used for
writing upon.
In one form of this invention I form join or otherwise attach to the elongated folding
sealing flap aforesaid, side flaps of any desirable size or pattern, to fold thereon in one
or more folds, thus giving additional space for advertising upon, the whole or a portion
of such additional space may be used for writing upon these side flaps in some cases
may be used for closing the ends of elongated folding sealing flap when same is folded
on to pocket, in which case they fold on to the back of pocket of envelope and in turn
are sealed thereto by the gummed lip of elongated folding sealing flap in which case
they are reduced somewhat in width.
Having thus described this invention reference is made to the drawings hereunto
attached shewing method of carrying out same.
Fig. 1 (Sheet 1) shews the envelope before it is made up, A being the elongated
folding sealing flap, a part B, with flaps C. C. gummed as required, formed for folding
and gumming on to part B to form pocket of envelope.
Fig. 2. (Sheet 1) shews the front or addressing side of elongated folding sealing
flap A together with pocket of envelope formed by folding and gumming flaps C. C. on
to part B aforesaid leaving opening or mouth of pocket at D.
In forming pocket aforesaid in some cases I gum the edges marked × of flaps C. C.
(Fig. 1. Sheet 1) for folding and securing on to B aforesaid, in which case parts
marked †† (Fig. 1. Sheet 1) are dispensed with entirely.
Fig. 3 (Sheet 1) shews the reverse or back side of (Fig. 2. Sheet 1.) A being the
elongated folding sealing flap and E face of pocket of envelope with gummed lip of
sealing flap at F: upon A and E respectively spaces are provided for advertisements,
artistic designs and printed matter generally, a portion of such space may be used for
writing upon.
Figs. 4 and 5. (Sheet 1) shew the front and back respectively of envelope when
sealed.
In one form of this invention, side flaps as shewn dotted at G. G. (Fig. 3 Sheet 1)
may be formed to the elongated folding sealing flap aforesaid, to fold thereon in
one or more folds, upon one or both sides of which additional space is thus
provided for advertising upon, a portion of such additional space may be used for
writing upon. in sealing the envelope the elongated folding sealing flap A

page_text: (Fig. 3. Sheet 1) is folded on to E (Fig. 3. Sheet 1) and in turn the gummed
lip F. (Fig. 3 Sheet 1) is folded and sealed on to mouth of pocket at D
(Fig. Sheet 1) thereby securing total privacy and security to the contents in
pocket of envelope.
Fig. 1 (Sheet 2) shews another form of this invention before it is made up,
A being the elongated folding sealing flap, a part B with flaps C. C .C. edges
gummed as required formed for folding on to part B to form pocket of envelope.
Fig. 2. (Sheet 2) shews the elongated folding sealing flap A with pocket of
envelope formed by folding on to B aforesaid, and gumming flaps C. C. C. leaving
mouth of pocket at D, upon space A and flaps C. C. C. spaces are provided for
advertisements, artistic designs and printed matter generally, a portion of such space
may be used for writing upon.
Fig. 3 (Sheet 2) shows the reverse or back side of Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) with front
or addressing side of elongated folding sealing flap A and back of pocket of
envelope E.
Figs. 4 and 5 (Sheet 2) shews the front and back respectively of envelope when
sealed.
In some cases side flaps are formed to the elongated folding sealing flap A as
shewn dotted at G. G. Fig. 3, (Sheet 2) to fold thereon in one or more folds,
upon one or both sides of which additional space is provided for advertising upon,
a portion or the whole of such additional space may be used for writing upon :
cases these side flaps may be used for closing the ends of elongated
folding sealing flap when folded on to pocket, in that case they fold on to the back of
pocket of envelope E. Fig. 3 (Sheet 2) and in turn the edges thereof are sealed thereto
by the gummed lip F Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) the flaps when used for the purpose aforesaid
are reduced somewhat in width.
in some
In sealing this form of envelope, I fold A Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) on to C. C. C. Fig. 2
(Sheet 2) the pocket of envelope, and in turn the gummed lip F Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) is
folded and secured on to E Fig. 3 (Sheet 2).
The front and addressing side of the elongated folding sealing flap may be
either embossed with a postage stamp as shewn at H on drawings or left plain.
The flaps employed in the construction of this invention may be cut to any shape
or pattern and gummed as required.
It is obvious that the said invention may be used with advantage and utility for
advertising and other purposes.
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 :-
First: The application of an elongated folding sealing flap A for affording space for
advertising, printing and writing upon, in combination therewith a pocket substantially
as specified and shewn on the drawings.
:
Second The application of elongated folding sealing flap A Fig. 2. (Sheet 1) in
combination therewith a pocket with mouth to same at D Fig. 2 (Sheet 1) and method
of folding the elongated folding sealing flap A Fig. 3 (Sheet 1) on to E Fig. 3
(Sheet 1) whereby contents in pocket of envelope are totally secured by gummed
lip F Fig. 3 (Sheet 1) substantially as specified and shewn on the drawings.
Third: The application of side flaps G. G. to the elongated folding sealing flap A
for affording space for advertising, printing and writing upon, and method of securing
same on to the back of pocket of envelope by the gummed lip of elongated sealing
flap, whereby the open ends of elongated sealing flap are closed, substantially as
specified and shewn on the drawings.
