Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to an improvement of a small-sized cash-storing envelope which is given out at a window of a bank, a post office or the like, or at a shop in which an ATM is installed, and is used mainly for storing cash.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- In general, small-sized cash envelopes are available at banks, post offices, etc., to store withdrawn cash. A shop in which an ATM is installed also offers the cash envelope. A user puts the withdrawn cash in the cash envelope.
- The bank offers the cash envelope as a part of its services for the sake of user's or depositor's convenience. The cost for the envelope is large and is a burden on the bank.
- Since a name of the bank or the like is usually printed on this kind of cash envelope, the envelope has been used only for storing cash.
- As the cash-storing envelope, the followings have been suggested.
- Japanese patent publication No. 2003-291979 discloses a cash-storing envelope provided with a covering piece having a space for a message.
- Japanese patent publication No. 2004-217299 discloses an envelope provided with a plurality of flaps so that the stored cash is prevented from slipping out.
- As mentioned above, a cash-envelope is prepared and the cost is incurred by a bank or the like, and a name, an illustration, etc. of the bank are printed on it. Therefore, the envelope after use for storing the cash is not used for any other purposes like putting a letter in it, for example, though the size and the shape are substantially the same. Even when it is reused, the purpose is limited to sorting out slips or to a memo pad.
- In view of the existing circumstances and in order to be responsive to a user's request like a bank for an effective use of the cash envelope, it is considered that the cost for the cash envelope may be paid by a sponsor when the cash envelope can be used as an advertising medium. The cash envelope may also be effectively used when it can be used as an envelope for mail.
- In view of these problems, the purpose of the invention is to make a cash-storing envelope usable as an envelope for a letter (for postal mail) easily when the need arises, while utilizing the envelope as an advertising medium.
- To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, a small-sized cash-storing envelope of this invention comprises an advertisement indicating piece or an advertising coupon detachably provided on a flap of an opening part of an envelope body and/or on a reverse side edge of the opening part.
- According to this invention, the cash-storing envelope, which is given out at a bank counter, a post office or a place where an ATM is installed, has the noteworthy advantage that the envelope can be reused as the envelope for a letter of a postal service or the like as the need arises, while the obverse and reverse sides of the opening part are utilized as the advertising and information medium, or as a coupon for an article of commerce, a service, discount, etc. Since the advertisement indicating piece or the advertising coupon can be easily detached or pulled off from the envelope body, it does not take time and effort upon being reused as an envelope.

adhesion part 3E is provided on areverse face 3D of theflap 3 of theopening part 2 of theenvelope body 1 so that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may detachably adhere thereto. - In a similar manner, the
adhesion part 2B is provided on thereverse side edge 2A of theopening part 2 of theenvelope body 1 so that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may detachably adhere thereto. - As the adhesive agent, an existing pressure-sensitive adhesive agent is preferable, however, any appropriate adhesive agent may be used provided that it is releasable.
- The side of the
advertisement indicating pieces 3A facing theadhesion part 3E of thereverse face 3D of theflap 3 is preferably made of an easily releasable synthetic resin film, or a paper sheet processed to have a silicon film. - Whichever is used, the
adhesion parts advertisement indicating pieces 3A or theadvertising coupons 3B, and to adhesively fix theflap 3 when theenvelope body 1 is closed later. - As shown in
FIG. 13 concerning the eighth embodiment, a small-sized cash-storing envelope comprises anadvertisement indicating piece 3A or anadvertising coupon 3B provided on a bottom part of anenvelope body 1 in a detachable manner. Namely, the envelope is formed to fold a sheet and the overlappingportions portion 1 a at the bottom of theenvelope body 1. In this case, the overlappingportion 1 a provides theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B to extend the overlappingportion 1 a. Between the overlappingportion 1 a and theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, there is formed aperforated line 1A(cut with dotted line), so that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may be separated with hands from the overlappingportion 1 a of theenvelope body 1, when it is required to do so. - As shown in
FIG. 14 concerning the ninth embodiment, a small-sized cash-storing envelope comprises anadvertisement indicating piece 3A or anadvertising coupon 3B provided on a side part of the reverse side of anenvelope body 1 in a detachable manner. Normally, the envelope is formed by folding a sheet and the overlappingportions portion 1 b at the side portion of theenvelope body 1. In this embodiment, the overlappingportion 1 b provides theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B to extend the overlappingportion 1 b. Between the overlappingportion 1 b and theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, there is formed aperforated line 1A (cut with dotted line), so that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may be separated with hands from the overlappingportion 1 b of theenvelope body 1, when it is required to do so. - As shown in
FIG. 15 concerning the tenth embodiment, a small-sized cash-storing envelope comprises anadvertisement indicating piece 3A or anadvertising coupon 3B provided on a center part of the reverse side of anenvelope body 1 in a detachable manner. Normally, the envelope is formed by folding a sheet and the overlappingportions portion 1 c at the central portion of theenvelope body 1 in up and down directions. In this embodiment, the overlappingportion 1 c provides theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B to extend the overlappingportion 1 c. Between the overlappingportion 1 c and theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, there is formed aperforated line 1A (cut with dotted line), so that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may be separated with hands from the overlappingportion 1 c of theenvelope body 1, when it is required to do so. - According to this invention, the envelope may be used for storing cash, a postal purpose, and a letter, and may also be used as an advertising medium, various coupons, etc. Therefore, the area of its invention is extremely wide.
- When the invention is embodied, there is the advantage that the
advertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B can be detached easily when aperforated line 4 is formed between theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B and theupper edge 3 a of theflap 3 of theopening part 2 or thereverse side edge 2A of theopening part 2 of theenvelope body 1 to facilitate detaching. - Further, in the embodiment of the invention, when
adhesion parts reverse face 3A of theflap 3 of theopening part 2 of theenvelope body 1 or on thereverse side edge 2A of theopening part 2, and theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B is detachably attached, there are the advantages that theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B can be attached or detached easily as the need arises, and the intendedadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B manufactured in a process different from the printing process of theenvelope body 1 can be selectively attached. - In this case, there is an advantage that the
adhesion parts advertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, and to later attach and fix theflap 3 upon sealing theenvelope body 1. - Both the
flap 3 and the edge ofreverse side 2A of theopening part 2 may have the perforatedline 4 or have theadhesion parts flap 3 and the edge ofreverse side 2A may adopt either one of the two means and the other may adopt the other means. - When the
flap 3 and theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B are formed to be narrower than theopening part 2, and are structured to be folded, they are, including theflap 3, inserted into the envelope upon storing cash. By doing so, the whole flap formed to be large by including theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B increases friction resistance against the bills, whereby slipping out of the cash is sufficiently prevented. When the envelope is used as an envelope for a letter of a postal service or the like, theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B is folded to overlap theflap 3 and the envelope is sealed, whereby the envelope may be used for the letter without theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B being exposed. - When the
advertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B are formed to be easily detachable at theperforated line 4 and the envelope is used for a letter for the postal purpose, the envelope may be used as an ordinary envelope having no advertisement or the like. Both of obverse and reverse sides of theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B may be utilized, when necessary. - It is preferable that at least one
advertisement indicating piece 3A oradvertising coupon 3B is continuously provided further on the upper part of theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B by the intermediary of theperforated line 4. - By doing so, one envelope may have different kinds of advertisements (different sponsors or different commercial products), or a plurality of different kinds of coupons or same kind of coupons, which may be detached and used one by one.
- A calendar may also be printed on the
advertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, whereby the envelope may be used as a calendar and an expiration date of advertisement information or the like becomes clear and can be readily checked. - By providing a
posting part 3C on theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B, there is an advantage that the envelope can be pinned to a notice board at theposting part 3C (a blank space, etc.), or can be attached to a notice board, a wall face of a refrigerator, etc. using a small magnet so that the envelope may be used as a memo pad or for storing receipts or the like without covering information on theadvertisement indicating piece 3A or theadvertising coupon 3B. - The foregoing relates to preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, it being understood that other variants and embodiments thereof are possible within the spirit and scope of the invention, the latter being defined by the appended claims.
