Abstract

Abstract Date to be sent to a person together with the person's name and address are printed in the same side of a sheet of paper (10). The paper is foldable into the shape of an envelope with the person's name and address on the envelope front and all date on the unexposed surfaces of the envelope. The portions (15, 16, 17) of the sheet of paper (10) which form the envelope are secured together by tear-away edges (22) and by a flap (40). The sheet may also include a tear-off remittance card (45) at the bottom end thereof which is foldable into the envelope for shipment to a person.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 241 words
A mailable unit comprising: a sheet of foldable paper, adapted to contain data thereon, said sheet being of preselected width definable as W and preselected length definable as L, with all the data being contained one side thereof, defining the sheet's front face, the sheet being folded along its width to form a top portion and at least first and second portions extending from the sheet's top end toward its bottom end, said sheet being foldable whereby the front faces of said first and second portions are foldable toward one another and the back of said top portion is foldable onto and securable to at least the top part of the back of said first portion, so that a part of the back of said first portion not secured to the top portion and the front of the top portion, represent the front face of an envelope, with a length equal to the width W of said sheet and a height substantially equal to the height of each of said first and second portions along the sheet's length, the first and second portions being attachable to one another along their edges, when folded on top of one another; and detachment facilitating means defining border lines between the attached edges of said portions and the unattached portions thereof for facilitating the removal of said attached edges and thereby enable the unfolding of at least said first and second portions from one another.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 241 words
A mailable unit comprising: a sheet of foldable paper, adapted to contain data thereon, said sheet being of preselected width definable as W and preselected length definable as L, with all the data being contained one side thereof, defining the sheet's front face, the sheet being folded along its width to form a top portion and at least first and second portions extending from the sheet's top end toward its bottom end, said sheet being foldable whereby the front faces of said first and second portions are foldable toward one another and the back of said top portion is foldable onto and securable to at least the top part of the back of said first portion, so that a part of the back of said first portion not secured to the top portion and the front of the top portion, represent the front face of an envelope, with a length equal to the width W of said sheet and a height substantially equal to the height of each of said first and second portions along the sheet's length, the first and second portions being attachable to one another along their edges, when folded on top of one another; and detachment facilitating means defining border lines between the attached edges of said portions and the unattached portions thereof for facilitating the removal of said attached edges and thereby enable the unfolding of at least said first and second portions from one another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A unit as recited in Claim 1, wherein said sheet further includes n additional portions extending successively from said second portion, and being foldable on top of one another, so that when said first, second and n portions are folded onto one another said n additional portions are folded between said first and second portions, n being an integer not less than 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 86 words
A unit as recited in Claim 2 wherein one of said n additional portions which is most remote from said second portion has a length dimension definable as X along the sheet's width, X being not greater than W-2w, where w defines the widths of the edges of at least said first and second portions which are attached to one another, whereby when the edges are removed and said sheet's portions, except the top portion, are unfolded, the edges of said one additional portion remains unaffected.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
A unit as recited in Claim 3 wherein said one additional portion contains machine readable data and has at least two adjacent edges thereof which define a predetermined angle therebetween.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
A unit as defined in Claim 4 wherein the angle is on the order of 90°.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 27 words
A unit as recited in Claim 3 wherein said one additional portion is detachable from a preceding portion by a plurality of perforations along the fold therebetween.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 26 words
A unit as recited in Claim 1 wherein said detachment facilitating means comprises a plurality of perforations adjacent the edges of said first and second portions.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 24 words
A unit as recited in Claim 1 wherein said first and second portions are secured to one another by adhesive matter along their edges.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 26 words
A unit as recited in Claim 8 wherein said detachment facilitating means comprises a plurality of perforations adjacent the edges of said first and second portions.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 61 words
A unit as recited in Claim 1 wherein said portions other than said top portion are attachable to one another along their edges to form an elongated pocket with a top opening defined by the top and bottom ends of said first and second portions respectively and said unit includes sealing means for sealing at least part of said pocket opening.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 102 words
A unit as recited in Claim 1 wherein said top portion has a cut of a preselected shape therein, so as to form a flap, extending from the fold between said top and first portion, the front of said flap having adhesive matter thereon and being foldable in a direction opposite tothe fold direction of said top portion, to be adhesively attached to the back of said second portion near the bottom end thereof so as to attach the top and bottom ends of said first and second portions of said sheet when said latter mentioned portions are attached to one another.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 63 words
A unit as recited in Claim 11 wherein said sheet further includes n additional portions extending successively from said second portion, and being foldable on top of one another, so that when said first, second and n portions are folded onto one another said n additional portions are folded between said first and second portions, n being an integer not less than 1.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 86 words
A unit as recited in Claim 12 wherein one of said n additional portions which is most remote from said second portion has a length dimension definable as X along the sheet's width, X being not greater than W-2w, where w defines the widths of the edges of at least said first and second portions which are attached to one another, whereby when the edges are removed and said sheet's portions, except the top portion, are unfolded, the edges of said one additional portion remain unaffected.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 29 words
A unit as recited in Claim 13 wherein said one additional portion contains machine-readable data and has at least two adjacent edges thereof which define a predetermined angle therebetween.
