Application December 9, 1954, Serial No. 474,071
1 claim. (ci. 229-70) This invention relates to envelopes suitable for mailing inr connection with bank accounts and the like, and particularly to a special banking envelope.
The main object of my invention is to provide a banking envelope that facilitates depositing or withdrawing money from a live account in a bank by mail.
An important object of the invention is to have such an envelope provided with means for readily setting out how much is to be withdrawn and submitted to the sender of the envelope, and also fully identifying deposit checks and all features in connection with deposit or withdrawal of funds.
Another object of this invention is to have means connected to the envelope serving as a mail receipt for the bank that may be returned to the depositor and show amount deposited or withdrawn in the transaction.
A further object of the invention is to have the envelope provided with the mail deposit and/or withdrawal slip, order and mail receipt in the form of a ilap extensionon the mail flap and an additional end ap, with individual identifying indicia upon each to facilitate filling out by the sender and use by him and the bank.
It is :also an object to have such ilap extension and end ap separable from the main liap of the envelope, at will when the envelope is to be used and mailed.
An ancillary object is to provide a gummed strip upon the main iiap of the envelope and the ap extension that is adapted to be separated therefrom for use and insertion into the envelope at mailing.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear in greater detail as the specification proceeds.
In :order to facilitate ready comprehension of this invention for a proper appreciation of the salient features thereof, the invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawing forming part hereof, and in which:
Figure 1 isa front perspective view of the envelope embodying the invention in a practical form, being shown closed;
Figure 2 is a rear perspective View of the same closed envelope; Y
Figure 3 is a perspective View of the envelope during the first step of opening the same;
Figure 4 shows in another perspective View the envelope in the second fully open stage of the envelope exposing the features of the ilap extension and end `iiap inner sides; and Y Figure 5 is a plan'view or layout of the initial pattern for making the envelope of the present invention.
In these various views, the same reference numerals indicate the same or like features throughout.
Banking envelopes are, of course known to a certain extent, but they are either complex in form or in use, and leave several gaps in infomation or opportunities for errors and wrong or defective entries, not to mention eX- cessive or awkward numbers or sizes of llaps upon the envelope involved. Various expedients have, of course of simple yet etective character has come to dominate the market.
Upon considering this problem, it has occurred to me that an envelope for such purposes should be available that is simple to ll out and mail and free from any complications heretofore evident. As a result of such consideration, I have succeeded in producing a simple and substantially fool proof banking envelope that well appears to serve the objects already outlined, as will now be set forth in detail in the following.
Hence, in the practice of my invention, and referring also again to the drawing, a special envelope for the present purpose, generally indicated at 6 primarily includes a front address panel 7 for the address of the bank to which it is addressed at 8 and the senders address 9. The rear lor back panel 1i? is integral with the front panel 7 at one end 11, while it is pasted upon a narrow end llap at the otherl end of the envelope at 12, and at the bottom, a low flap 13 connected to the front panel is folded over the lower edge of the rear panel and pasted to the same. From the upper edge of the front panel extends an integral main iiap 14 having a strip of paste or glue 1d I prefer to have the paste or glue strip 16 on the inside of end 17 of the rear panel, by which the latter is attached to end llap 12.
Upon the main ap 14 is a flap extension 18 integral with it with a weakened line 19 between, while connected at one end is an end ilap 20 integral with extension 13 and capable of being folded over the latter so as to be (zo-extensive therewith as shown in Figure 3 or folded out free as shown in Figure 4. The end flap has another weakened line 21, allowing this end ap to be separated at will, even as line 19 allows extension 18 to be separated from main ap 1d when desired.
The mentioned flap extension upon its inner surface carries the heading Mail Receipt with places for credited and charged items with name and address of the party depositing or withdrawing funds, Upon the inner surface of end flap 2d is a heading Mail Withdrawal Order with places for the date, bank book number and amount to be withdrawn from the account in the bank and for signature of withdrawer, as well as the name of the bank involved. On the outer side of the same end flap are placed heading Mail Deposit, name of the bank and its address, and the remaining features of a deposit slip generally noted 22, the indicia upon its interior side being 'indicated at 23 (Figure 4), while upon the inner side of the flap extension 13, the indicia appear generally indicated at 2.4 as shown in Figure 4 also.
When it is desired to deposit money, checks and the like, they are recorded on the deposit side 22 of flap 20 and then the names is not only signed upon the same side but also printed by hand on the mail receipt side 24 of extension 13 and the latter torn off main ap 14 and the two members 13 and 20 placed with the checks, money, money orders and the like in the envelope 6 and the main flap 1d pasted down upon rear panel 10 to close it. When the sender puts his name and address at 9 and a stam-p on the envelope, it is ready to drop into the mail. lf the sender intends to withdraw funds instead of depositing, he fills out the inner withdrawal order side 23 of end ap Ztl and signs the same instead of ythe deposit side 22, and in that form places the flap extension 18 and ilap 20 into the envelope before sealing. In either case, these two flap members are separated from ap 14 along line 19 and together as a folded unit placed in the envelope.
When the bank receives this envelope, the teller notes i if deposit or withdrawal is desired and checks the mail been tried, but as yet no really useful banking envelope receipt accordingly, separating it from flap 20 which he' Patex'iteclv May 20, 1958 3 simple an operation that the transaction is expeditious and can scarcely allow of any error occurring.
The envelope may be made of any useful quality of paper and be cut of any desired size, the pattern of Figure 5 determining the size, shape and location of the panels and flaps by their location on this pattern.
Manifestly, variations may be resorted to, and parts and features may be modified or used without others Within the scope of the appended claim.
Having now fully described my invention, I claim:
A self-contained banking envelope, including a laterally elongated rectangular front address panel with short vertical ends, a laterally elongated rear panel integrally connected at one end thereof to one short vertical end of the front address panel and having the upper longitudinal edge thereof cut a short distance down below and parallel to the upper longitudinal edge of said front address panel with a glue strip upon the other outer end of said rear panel, a short end ap on the other short vertical end of said front address panel adapted to be secured to said glue strip on the rear panel, a short ap also integrally connected to the lower edge of the same front address panel, a relatively large main closure tlap integrally connected to the upper edge of the latter front address panel and having a longitudinal glue strip located Within the upper edge thereof for securing said main ap down upon said rear panel below the cut down upper edge of a: s the latter, an upwardly extending integral flap extension on the main tiap having short vertical ends and a longitudinal weakened tear line upon the upper portion of said main ap allowing the upwardly extending ap extension to `be torn olf to serve as a mail receipt slip, and a laterally elongated end ap integrally connected to one short vertical end of said upwardly extending flap extension and having a vertical weakened tear line substantially alined with the vertical short end of the front address panel to which the rear panel is connected to allow independent removal of said laterally elongated end ap for the latter ap to serve as a deposit or withdrawal slip, the lower edge of said laterally elongated end flap being alined with the weakened tear line on the main closure flap when said elongated end flap is extended from the upwardly extending flap extension laterally, and the latter tlap extension and said laterally elongated end flap being substantially equal in area and cro-extensive when folded together one upon the other.
