Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet of rectangular or square shape for recording information, such as a sheet of writing paper or sheet of printer paper, having at least one pre-indicated or pre-made transverse fold line for folding the sheet to give a sealed item for posting.
  • Such a sheet is known.
  • Information can be provided on the one side of the sheet by means of writing or printing.
  • the details for the addressee and optionally for the sender can be provided on the other side.
  • it can also be indicated how the sealed item for posting can be opened.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a sheet of the above-mentioned type which can be better sealed so that the information in the sealed item for posting formed is better protected against use by unauthorised persons.
  • the sheet according to the invention is characterised by at least three flaps located at different edges of the sheet, which flaps are each foldable along a pre-indicated or pre-made flap fold line and can then be stuck to an opposing surface, such that the item for posting is sealed at the four edges of the item for posting by means of the at least one transverse fold line and the three flaps which have been folded over and stuck down.
  • the three flaps and the fold line at the four edges of the item for posting are able to guarantee complete closure, as a result of which it is impossible for unauthorised persons to read the contents.
  • the two parallel flaps can each have a projecting adhesion section which extends between the other flap and the at least one fold line.
  • the adhesion sections can be provided with a gum by means of which they can be attached to the opposing surface.
  • the sheet according to the invention can also be used as a sheet of printer paper.
  • the two parallel flaps can have a tear section on the other side of the at least one fold line, which tear section projects by the same distance as the associated adhesion section, which tear sections have a pre- indicated or pre-made perforation line.
  • the sheet By virtue of the straight guide, formed by the adhesion sections and the tear sections located in the extension thereof, the sheet can now be fed through a printer in the conventional manner. After printing, the tear sections are removed and the sheet is made up into an item for posting.
  • each adhesion section and associated tear section can be separated from one another by a notch, the tear lines each adjoining the deepest part of said notch.
  • the sheet preferably has two transverse fold lines, by means of which the sheet is divided into three essentially equal parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows the writing surface of a first embodiment of a sheet according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows the address surface of the sheet according to Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows the sheet according to Figs 1 and 2 in the partially folded state.
  • Fig. 4 shows the sheet according to Figs 1 - 3 folded together to give an item for posting.
  • Fig. 5 shows opening of the posted item.
  • Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment.
  • the writing surface 2 of the sheet 1 is shown in Fig. 1 and the address surface 3 is shown in Fig. 2.
  • Addressee details can be shown in the field 4 and, optionally, the sender's details in the field 5 on said address surface 3.
  • the stamp can be affixed in the field 6.
  • the sheet 1 is divided into the three parts 9, 10, 11 by means of the transverse fold lines 7, 8.
  • the sheet 1 has two parallel flaps 12, 13 at the two longitudinal edges, which flaps are joined to the remainder of the sheet 1 via perforation lines 14, 15.
  • a third flap 16 is provided at one of the ends of the sheet 1 via the perforation line 17.
  • the sheet 1 is folded over via the fold line 7.
  • the sheet is then folded over via the fold line 8, after which the flaps 12, 13 are folded over along the fold lines 14, 15, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • Flap 16 is also folded over about fold line 17.
  • the flaps 12, 13 have adhesion sections 18, 19, each of which is provided with a layer of gum 20, 21.
  • the flap 16 also has a layer of gum 22.
  • the adhesion sections 18, 19 and the flap 16 have been fixed to the opposing surface by means of the layers of gum 20 - 22, as a result of which an item 23 for posting which is completely sealed all round by the flaps 12, 13, 16 and by the fold line 8 is obtained.
  • Fig. 5 shows that the item 23 for posting can be opened by tearing off the flaps 12, 13 along the perforation lines 14, 15 and 17.
  • the flaps 12, 13 are therefore provided with tear sections 24, 25, which are joined via perforation lines 26, 27 to the remainder of the flap 12, 13. Said tear sections 25, 25 are separated from the adhesion sections 18, 19 by means of notches 28, 29.
  • the outside edges of the tear sections 18, 24 and 19, 25 are in the extension of one another, such that the desired guiding through the printer can be ensured.
  • the tear sections 24, 25 can be removed and the item for posting can be sealed in the manner shown in Figs 1 - 4.
  • the sheets can be made up into a pad.
