Abstract: A filling station for watering cans comprises a water tank with a closable lid. A float valve mechanism is attached to the inside of the tank, and is connected to a water line or hose. In use, the filing station is placed in a garden area, with the hose running between the float valve and a house water spigot. Subsequently, the spigot is turned on (and is left on), supplying water to the float valve. The float valve allows water into the tank until the tank is full. For watering, the cover is opened, exposing the water and a dipping area, which is dimensioned to accommodate a conventional watering can. Then, the watering can is dipped into the water until full, and is used to water plants. When the water level in the tank falls below a certain level, the float valve automatically activates to refill the tank.

Abstract: The invention teaches an envelope with an adjustable dimension to accommodate inserts of varying size.

Abstract: An envelope formed from a single blank with a front panel, rear panel, two side flaps, and a closure flap. The two side flaps are folded inward and an adhesive layer is secured to the two side flaps and the closure flap. The adhesive layer extends to at least the top perimeter of the two side flaps and may even extend beyond the top perimeter of the rear panel to include the front panel and even some portion of the closure flap. The rear panel is folded and secured along substantially the entire length of the two side flaps. The envelope is then exemplary placed under a drier to dry any of the adhesive that extends beyond the upper perimeter of the two side flaps and the upper perimeter of the rear panel. The envelope is then processed and stacked using conventional equipment.
