  • Patent number: 5087223
    Abstract: A multiple ply assembly for use as a travel ticket folder is disclosed. A first and second ply define at least two panel sections and are connected to define a sleeve within one of the panel sections to accommodate insertion of material into the sleeve. The assembly also comprises a means for restricting transverse movement of the material from the sleeve. The assembly comprises two plies of substantially the same size which are joined along one entire side and partially joined along a parallel opposing side. A non-joined portion on the opposing side forms an opening to the ticket sleeve. The assembly has two score lines defining three adjacent panels facilitating folding of the assembly into one-third portions. Itinerary information can be printed directly onto the folder. Alternatively, additional plies can be connected to the folder and itinerary information can be printed directly onto the top additional ply and reproduced onto succeeding plies.

  • Patent number: 4493496
    Abstract: This multiple ply assembly yields individual invoice/itinerary sheets and a traveler's ticket-holding folder with the invoice/itinerary information printed directly on the flap. Invoice/itinerary information entered on the outer ply is printed on the area corresponding in size and orientation on all plies. When this corresponding portion of the next to last ply is detached, yielding an additional invoice/itinerary sheet, the remainder of the next to last ply forms a pocket on one corner of the last ply by means of adhesive. The portion of the last ply corresponding in size and orientation to the outer ply forms the flap of a ticket-holding folder, of which the aforementioned pocket is a part.
