System for maintaining security of facsimile messages

Abstract

A system for producing a laminated facsimile sheet assembly to cover and conceal a facsimile message on a message sheet comprises a supply of message sheet material which may be a roll of sheet material. A printing head is disposed to print a message on a section of the sheet material. A supply of cover sheet material is disposed to superimposed a cover sheet on the recorded sheet to the message sheet. The attachment means can be spots of pressure sensitive adhesive preapplied in a predetermined pattern to one side of the cover sheet. The over sheet can be part of a roll or one of a pile thereof; other sides of the cover sheets have slippery surfaces to prevent the cover sheets from sticking to each other in a pile. A cutter device can be disposed to cut the message sheets one at a time from the roll of message sheet material; or it can cut both the message sheets one at a time from the roll of message sheet material; or it can cut both the message sheet and superimposed cover sheet taken from a roll thereof. The attachment means can be staples or other attachment means in addition to or instead of the pressure sensitive adhesive spots. The supply of cover sheet material can be a roll with the pressure sensitive adhesive spots applied to one side of the sheet material. The other side of the sheet material will be slippery to prevent coils in the roll of cover sheet material from sticking to each other.
