BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND TO THE PRESENT INVENTION
This invention relates to a combined mailer and receipt business form. The present invention relates specifically to the provision of a combined mailer receipt business form in which the receipt forms part of the return mailer, and the business form and is secured against tampering such as by alteration or obliteration in relation to information already imprinted on the receipt form.
There is a need for a security business form which includes information of a financial nature that is regulated by some government agencies, whereby accurate information about a financial transaction must be provided to the government agency for example, for taxation revenue purposes.
It is important with such documentation that the receipted amount entered into the documentation for the purposes of providing a customer receipt cannot be tampered with, altered or interfered with in any way subsequent to completion of the transaction and prior to forwarding the completed document to the government agency.
DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ART
Applicants are aware of the following instances of published prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 3,111,257 "Peach" teaches the provision of an envelope with a remailing arrangement. When originally opened the adhesive 30 is uncovered.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,062,431 "Rabenold", when the envelope is snapped open the closure flap 36, with its adhesive, are uncovered.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,942,714 "Wise" discloses an envelope which contain 3 copies of a bill, the customer removing and retaining the top sheet while the return portion comprises a middle sheet. When the original envelope is opened the closure flap (with its inherent adhesive) is exposed.
In U.S. Pat. No. 883,620 "Carraway" and U.S. Pat. No. 4,712,729 "Craig" both teach tamper evident envelopes in general.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,694 "Tucker et al" discloses an envelope having a separate line of adhesive 17 for receiving baggage tags.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,428,237 "Dowen" teaches a remailable envelope with removable insert.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention has as an objective, the provision of a secure mailer/receipt business form which at least in part overcomes the abovementioned problems.
In one aspect, there is provided according to the present invention, a secure mailer/receipt business form comprising a top and bottom ply and at least one intermediate ply constituting a separable receipt part which receipt part is associated with image transferring material for imparting information onto the bottom ply, the rear face of the top ply including a coated adhesive material covering at least part of the surface, the adhesive being coated with a releasable non-adhesive backing material connected to the separable receipt part such that withdrawal of the separable receipt part will release said backing material to expose the adhesive layer to adhere the top ply to the top face of the bottom ply thereby sealing the top and rear plies together after removal of the receipt part to restrict tampering in a non evident manner with the remaining business form without damage to the form.
In a further aspect there is provided according to the present invention, a secure Mailer/Receipt business form comprising a top and bottom ply adhesively secured together and housing at least one removal ply, image transferring material for transferring information onto the intermediate ply and bottom ply, said removable ply being associated with a non adhesive release backing, said backing covering adhesive means on an internal surface of said business form, removal of said removable ply releasing said non adhesive backing thereby freeing the top and bottom plies to be adhered to one another by said adhesive means to prevent tamper evident opening.
Conveniently, the receipt ply includes a retained portion with a carbon patch or image transferring material for imaging on the rear face of said top ply carrying the actual receipted amount which portion is ultimately sealed against tampering upon removal of the receipt ply.
