Abstract

The continuous stationery carrier which is adapted to be fed through computer printers, word processing printers, and the like so as to permit the stationery carried therein to be printed upon comprises a plurality of polyethylene backing sheets sequentially joined together along perforated fold lines and equipped with a plurality of feed apertures along the right and left margins thereof. Each backing sheet has a polyethylene cover sheet joined thereto in pocket forming relationship therewith so as to be capable of retaining a piece of stationery. Each cover sheet is provided with at least one aperture therein through which the stationery may be printed upon. The shape and the size of the cover sheets and the apertures therein may be selected to suit a particular application.

Claims

1. A continuous stationery carrier adapted to be fed through computer printers, word processing printers, and the like, so as to permit stationery carried thereby to be printed upon, comprising:

a plurality of backing sheets sequentially joined together and provided with a plurality of feed apertures along the right and left margins thereof, each of said backing sheets adjacent to each other being joined together by a common fold line of partial perforations in order to permit folding of a continuous strip of a plurality of carriers without tearing said strip, said backing sheets including a relatively strong durable plastic fiber material; and

a plurality of cover sheets each one joined to one of said plurality of backing sheets to form a pocket therewith into which said stationery may be inserted, each of said plurality of cover sheets being equipped with at least one aperture through which said stationery may be printed upon followed by the removal of said stationery after printing thereon from the pocket formed in said carrier so that said carrier can be reused, said cover sheets including a relatively strong durable plastic fiber material.

2. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 1 wherein each of said backing sheets is constructed from a polyethylene plastic material.

3. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 2 wherein each of said cover sheets is constructed from a polyethylene plastic material.

4. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 3 wherein said cover sheets includes a polyethylene plastic material such as spun-bonded olefin polyethylene plastic material.

5. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 2 wherein said backing sheets includes a polyethylene plastic material such as spun-bonded olefin polyethylene plastic material.

6. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 1 wherein said cover sheets are adhesively joined to said backing sheets.

7. The continuous stationery carrier according to claim 1 wherein said cover sheets are sealed to said backing sheets.

8. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 7 wherein each of said cover sheets in rectangular in shape and joined along three edges thereof to said backing sheet to form a carrier pocket for the insertion of a sheet of stationery therein for printing thereon through said printing aperture.

9. The continuous stationery carrier of claim 7 wherein the upper, lower and left edges of each cover sheet are adhesively joined to the corresponding upper, lower and left edges of each backing sheet.

10. A reuseable stationery carrier adapted to be fed through computer printers, word processing printers, high speed printers, and the like so as to permit stationery carried thereby to be printed upon, comprising:

a polyethylene plastic backing sheet having a plurality of feed apertures therein along the right and left margins thereof; and

a polyethylene plastic cover sheet joined to said backing sheet so as to form a pocket therein into which said stationery may be inserted after the manufacturing of said carrier is completed, said cover sheet being equipped with at least one printing aperture through which said stationery may be printed upon followed by the removal of the stationery having been printed thereon from the pocket formed in said carrier for multiple repeated use of said carrier.
