METHOD FOR SECURI~G MANIFOLD S~IEETS
Background of the Invention In the art of manifolding sheets for business forms or like products, it has been common practice to utilize a front sheet and a back sheet along with an interleaf therebetween to form the collator type construction. The collator process involves the gathering or bringing together of two or more sheets in proper order for binding or securing in a unitary form.
United States Patent No. 3,3~0,109~ issued to H. T. Braner on May 16, 1967, discloses a process for binding together coated manifold sheets wherein each sheet has a serrated or ruptured portion and hot plastic adhesive or glue is applied along the serrated portion to collate the sheets.
United States Patent No. 3,762,028, issued to C. C. Swearingen et al. on October 2, 1~73, discloses the joining of plastic/metal foil laminates by removing a window portion of the plastic laminate to enable two adjacent metal laminates to be joined together by conventional welding means.
United States Patent No. 4,108,351, issued to E. A. Hough on August 22, 1978, discloses ~ releasable resealable seal formed between two surfaces, by providing one surface with a pile bonded thereto and providing the other surface with a layer of tack adhesive and pressing the surfaces together.
Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for joining together two sheets made of similar material along with an interleaf made of a different material. In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method of making a business form by manifolding a pair of outer sheets of paper material with a non-paper plastic-like sheet therebetween~ each of the sheets including an - la -edge portion defining a row of spaced apertures therein, the method comprising the steps oE providing a second row of apertures spaced inwardly from the row in the edge portion o said plastic-like therebetween sheet~ applying adhesive along a line adjacent the edge portion oE one of said outer sheets and inwardly of the row of apertures therein and corresponding with said second row of apertures, collating the sheets by applying pressure to the outer sheets adjacent the edge portions of the several sheets to force the adhesive from said line and through the second row of apertures onto the other outer sheet whereby the adhesive contacts the pair of outer sheets at the second row of aperture locations, and removing the edge portion of the several sheets. Also there is provided an article of manufacture arranged as a business form and comprising first and second overlying sheets of glue-compatible paper material and each sheet including an edge portion defining a row of spaced apertures therein, a third sheet of non-paper plastic-like material placed between said first and second sheets, said plastic-like material third sheet having an edge portion defining spaced apertures therein and including a second row of spaced apertures spaced inwardly from the edge portion thereof, and a quantity of adhesive applied along a line adjacent the edge portion of said first sheet and inwardly of the row of spaced apertures therein and corresponding with said second row of spaced apertures whereby pressure applied to the first and second sheets causes adhesive to flow from said first sheet through the second row of apertures in said third sheet onto said second sheet for securing the sheets together prior to removing the edge portions of the several sheets. A business form or like product is constructed with a bottom sheet of paper as one ply or laminate, a middle sheet of non-paper material as an inner ply and a top sheet of paper as another ply or laminate. The middle sheet or ~

interleaf include: ~ line of holes along one end por-tion, and then adhesive or glue of conventional type is applied along a glue line, on either the bottom paper sheet or the top paper sheet, corresponding with the line of holes in the middle sheet. The end portions of the sheets are pressed or clamped together and the adhesive on the surface of the one sheet is forced through the holes in the middle sheet and thus bleeds therethrough onto the surface of the second or glue-compatible sheet to secure the three layers or plies asa unitary business form.
In view of the above discussion, the principal object of the present invention is to provide a method of making a collated business form or like product of pliable materials.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of bonding together portions of several sheets for constructing a laminated form.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide a method of securing two sheets of glue-compatible material along with a sheet of another material therebetween in forming a collated product.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a business form or like product wherein a top sheet and a bottom sheet are secured together by means of adhesive bleeding through a line of apertures in an inner sheet.
Addi-tional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent and fully under-stood from a reading of the following description takentogether with the annexed drawing.
Brief Description of the Drawing Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a method of securing several sheets in accordance with the teaching of the prior art;
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a method of securing several sheets and illustrating the concept of the present invention; and
-3 Fiy. 3 is a cross-sectional view o~ the sever sheets and showing the lines ~nd flow of adhesive for securing the sheets.
Description of the Preferred Embodiment Fig. 1 is a view showing prior art or conven-tional construction wherein a bottom sheet 20 of paper and a top sheet 22 of paper comprise part of an assembly which also includes an interleaf or sheet 24 of non-paper material. Sheet 20 has an end portion 26 with a line of holes 28 punched on standard one-half inch centers, sheet 22 has a portion 30 with a line of holes 32 and the middle sheet 24 has a portion 34 with the line of matching holes 36. A special adhesive or glue is provided along a glue line 38 on the top of sheet 20 adjacent the portion 26 and also along a glue line 40 on the top of the middle sheet 24. When the several sheets are clamped or pressed together along the glue lines, the special adhesive or glue holds the paper sheets 20 and 22 in a secure manner along with the non paper sheet ~o 24. The portions 26, 30 and 34 are then trimmed from the unit set or assembly.
Fig. 2 illustrates the construction of the present invention wherein the bottom sheet 20 has the portion 26, the top sheet 22 has the portion 30 and the middle sheet 24 includes the portion 34. A common adhesive or glue suitable for paper products is provided along a glue line 42 on the top of sheet 20. As also seen in Fig. 3, the middle sheet 24 has a second line of holes 44 therein spaced from the line of holes 36 in the portion 34. When the sheets are clamped or pressed together along the glue line 42, the glue bleeds -through the holes 44 in sheet 24 and onto the underside of the glue-compatible sheet 22 along a line 46.
The method of the present invention provides for utilizing standard business forms and marginal line hole punching in a non-paper or plastic flexible web or sheet that will permit lamination between the two paper sheets on a standard business forms rotary collator.
The laminate material or plastic interleaf does not have to be compatible with the normal cold paper ad-hesives by reason that the interleaf or middle sheet 24is sandwiched between the paper sheets 20 and 22 and secured therebetween by the flow of adhesive through the holes 44 in a manner to secure the paper sheets together.
While the adhesive is shown as being applied along the glue line ~2 on sheet 20 for bleeding through holes 44 in the middle sheet 24 to the opposite sheet 22, the adhesive could be applied on the underside of sheet 22 along the line 46, as seen in Fig. 3, and caused to flow through the holes 44 onto the top side of sheet 20 and along the line 42. The inner ply or interleaf 24 may be of acetate or like pliable plastic material that can be line hole punched and processed in roll or sheet form through a collator. While a preferred embodiment utilizes an interleaf 24 of different material, such interleaf may also be paper or like material collated with sheets of glue-compatible material. The interleaf 24 may be used for other applications such as a process carbon paper insert, plastic pockets for continuous mailer products or for overhead transparencies.
It is thus seen that herein shown and des-cribed is a method of laminating or collating a middle sheet between two outer sheets and constructing a bus-iness form by using flow of ordinary adhesive through holes in the middle sheet to secure it and the outer sheets together. The method enables the accomplishment of the objects and advantages mentioned above, and while a preferred embodiment has been disclosed herein, vari-ations thereof may occur to those skilled in the art.
It is contemplated that all such variations and modi-fications not departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention hereof are to be construed in accordance with the following claims.
