We, ALFRED EVANS AMES, Agent, and ALEXANDER PILSWORTH, Civil-Engineer,
both of the City of Toronto, in the County of York, and Province of Ontario,
Canada, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to a sheet, stamped out by a die, and so constructed, shaped
and folded, that, when folded, as hereinafter described, it will form a perfectly secure
note, or packet, all cut the message, therein contained, being perfectly concealed
from view.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1. represents the sheet, as stamped out by the die.
Fig. 2 shows the sheet as folded up-and
Fig. 3 illustrates the same, as viewed from the reverse side.
A is a sheet of paper (or other suitable material), whereof the gum-flap a is
especially cut by die and perforated.
The figures marked 1, 2, 3 are folds, which lap over on each other, that is
to say:
The fold or lap marked No. 1 is turned directly on the lap marked No. 2. These
two laps, thus folded, are themselves turned over on the lap marked No. 3.
The laps, thus combined, or infolded, are now taken up, and turned backward, so
that the outside, or addressing-flap, marked No. 4 lies on the back of the division
marked No. 3, and the whole sheet, thus folded, presents merely the appearance of the
upper division shown in the drawing, and marked No. 4.
The vertical dotted line, marked b, which indicates the half of the sheet, is
imprinted thereon, as are also the divisions, (also shown by dotted lines) between the
figures 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The sheet thus folded, is now refolded, from the centre line b, and thus the loose, or
open ends are brought to the gum-flap a, which, being moistened, is turned over and
secured.
I am aware that other devices have been tried, for the purpose of procuring a
roperly secured sheet-envelope by means of a detachable label.

We, ALFRED EVANS AMES, Agent and ALEXANDER PILSWORTH, Civil Engineer,
both of the City of Toronto in the County of York and Province of Ontario,
Canada, 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
-
This invention relates to a sheet, stamped out by a die, and so constructed, shaped
and folded, that when folded, as hereinafter described, it will form a perfectly secure
note or packet all the message therein contained, being perfectly concealed from
view.
Referring to the drawings filed with our provisional specification.
Fig. 1 represents the sheet, as stamped out by the die.
Fig. 2 shows the sheet, as folded up-and
Fig. 3 illustrates the same, as viewed from the reverse side.
A is a sheet of paper (or other suitable material) whereof the gum-flap a is
especially cut by die and perforated.
The figures marked 1, 2, 3 are folds, which lap over on each other, that is
to say,
The fold, or lap marked No. 1 is turned directly on the lap marked No. 2. These
two laps, thus folded, are themselves turned over on the lap marked No. 3.
The laps, thus combined, or infolded are now taken up, and turned backward, so
that the outside or addressing flap, marked No. 4 lies on the back of the division
marked No. 3 and the whole sheet, thus folded, presents merely the appearance of the
upper division shown in the drawing and marked No. 4.
The vertical dotted line marked 4, which indicates the half of the sheet, is
imprinted thereon, as are also the divisions (also shown by dotted lines) between the
figures 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The sheet thus folded, is now refolded from the centre-line, and thus the loose or
open ends are brought to the gum-flap a, which, being moistened, is turned over and
secured.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
A combined envelope, letter-sheet, and telegram fold, with gum-flap in, and
composed of the same sheet, and cut by the same die, folded so as to conceal the
communication and secured by means of the gum-flap aforesaid, the said sheet and
the gun-flap being composed of one sheet of paper, or of any other suitable material,
substantially as shown, and for the purpose specified.
