4REVERSI BLE `ENVELOPE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,971, dated August 1, 1882.
' Application filed January 16,1882. (Model.)
, To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN G. WALLACE, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reversible Envelopes, which improvement is fully set forth in the following reversible envelope; and it consists of two rectangular pieces of paperof the proper shape and size, secured across each other at right angles, either by being gummed or by means of eyelets or clips, so that the projecting ends may be lapped over each other and secured by a band, all of which will now be described in detail.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A represents the blank forming one part of the envelope. This strip is as wide as the length of the envelope itself is to be when ready for use. B is the cross-strip,whose Width is equal to the width of the envelope when completed. These blanks A B are laid transversely across each other centrally, and gummed to each other; or, if preferred, they may be secured to each other by means of the eyelets C C, midway between the ends. Through these eyelets a rubber or other elastic cord, D, is threaded, so as to form a band, as shown.
It is obvious that the blanks A B, constituting the envelope, may be formed of one piece of paper; but the economy in using two pieces, as shown, is apparent, since the body of the envelope is made stronger on account of being doubled, and since the eyelets C C-are necessary there is little, if any, additional labor required to manufacture it.4
The principal uses for this reversible envelope will be in the transmission of samples and return-orders, and for this purpose I have shown an envelope thus adapted. The face of the envelope, Fig. 1, shows the address of the sender with blank for inserting the name ofV the party to whom it is addressed. The reverse side of the envelope, asl shown in Fig. 5, has printed or written thereon the return-ad dress of the sender.
It will now be observed that the sender, in forwarding his samples, incloses them in Fig. 1, turning under first the flaps B over the samples, and then turning down the ilapsA. The elastic band D is then drawn over the end and secured over the back, as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 3 shows therear side of Fig. 2, with outline of the flaps. The recipient in returning the order reverses the folds of the envelope, after placing in his order, causing the' .per ap, A, can then be turned down so as to complete the envelope. In this form ot' envelopes eyelets C are also placed near the ends, as shown, and elastics used as with simple reversible envelopes, as heretofore shown. A cheap and simple pocket-wallet can thus be constructed, enabling the user to remove the clip E at any time and reverse the same, so as to expose theinner unsoiled surface, when the clip E may be again employed.
Having described my inventiomwhat I claim 1sl. A reversible envelope formed of two rectangular blanks, A B, placed across each other midway and gummed together, having the projecting ends or iaps ungummed, as shown, so that the lia-ps may be folded over on the bodyof the envelope on either side, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown.
2. A reversible envelope formed of two rectangular blanks, A B, plaeed across each other and secured, as shown, in combination with the eyelets C in the body or hack. of the envelope and the elastic band l), passing through the eyelets for securing the naps when the said flaps are turned on either side of the body of the envelope, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown.
