FOLDABLE OBJECT SUCH AS INFORMATION CARRIER, CONTAINER AND THE LIKE
The invention relates to a foldable object such as an information carrier, container and the like, having two wings which can be folded and unfolded about a swing line, whereby wing surfaces are provided which can be folded down between the wings when the wings are folded and can be unfolded when the wings are opened, and the object consists primarily of a shape having projecting and recessed fold lines, so that when the wings are folded the wing surfaces can be fitted between the wings and when the wings are unfolded, the shape forms an essentially flat surface, the shape has two main fold lines perpendicular to each other whose intersection point is located in the swing line of the two wings and whereby, starting from each point of intersection of the longitudinal fold lines with the main fold lines and perpendicular to the longitudinal fold lines, recessed fold lines parallel to the transverse fold line are provided.
Foldable ob~ects such as street maps are known and described in the US Patent 4 210 347. After unfolding both wings it is necessary to unfold and pull part the wing surfaces folded between the wings. Prior to folding, the wing surfaces have first to be folded correctly and arranged between the wings.
.
From the French published application 2 628 361 a foldable object of the aforementioned kind has become known. ~his object has the disadvantage that, similarly to the one disclosed in US
Patent 4 210 347, parts of the wing surfaces have to slide into each other when the object is folded, which in practice leads to difficulties during folding and unfolding. Especially during precipitated folding the wing surfaces can be damaged.
'~
~1~8270 It is an object of the present invention to arrange the wing surfaces so that during the folding of the wings they will automatically come to lie between the wings without engaging one another and damaging the wing surface.
The present invention is characterized by the fact that parallel to the longitudinal fold lines and parallel to the mentioned recessed fold lines, respective projecting fold lines are provided, which intersect each other at riqht angles in intersection point located on the main fold line.
According to further features of the invention the shape is characterized by the fact that projecting fold lines arranged parallelly to longitudinal fold lines and the segment of the transverse fold lines are arranged so that in the folded state of the foldable object the highest they can reach is up to the median longitudinal line.
Further features of the invention can be found in the patent claims and in the following description, as well as in the drawing.
In the following the invention is closer described with the aid of an embodiment example. Fig. 1 shows schematically the object of the invention in a slightly unfolded state. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the shape and Fig. 3 an oblique view of the partially folded object.
According to Fig. 1, the object has two wings 1, 2 which can be folded about swing line 3, as indicated by arrows. The wing surfaces 4, 5 lie between the two wings, when the object is folded.
,~044 Fig. 2 shows the shape cut out of paper or a corresponding foil material and the fold lines arranged thereon. Projecting fold lines are shown in solid lines and form projecting edges during folding. Recessed fold lines are shown in broken lines.
On the backside (underside of the shape) there are stiffening ~urfaces 31 not shown here in detail, but which can be seen much clearer in Fig. 3.
The shape 15 has two basically diagonal main fold lines 6, 7 which are perpendicular to each other. The intersection point 8 of the two main fold lines lies in the swing line 3 of the two wings 1, 2. The fold line segments 11, 12 and 9, 14 are recessed, while the fold line segments 10, 13 are projecting. Further through the intersection point 8 runs a transverse fold line 16 formed by two pro~ecting fold line segments 17, 18.
.
Further two longitudinal fold lines 23, 24 are provided, the left longitudinal fold line 23 consisting of two fold line segments 21 and the right longitudinal fold line 24 consisting of two fold line segments 22. Defined by the respective fold line segments 11, 21, 22 and the shape edge 33 or 34, base surfaces 19, 20 are formed which basically constitute the wings 1, 2 and are connected, particularly glued to stiffening surfaces 31. The two base surfaces 19, 20 meet each other at the intersection point 8.
.
From the intersection points 25 of the longitudinal fold lines 23, 24 with the main fold lines 6, 7, perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal fold lines 23 24, recessed fold lines 26 parallel to the transverse fold line 16 are provided. Further, parallelly to the aforementioned fold lines 21 and 26, projecting 7 ~
fold lines 27, 28 are arranged so that they are offset towards the corners of the shape, whereby these fold lines intersect each other in the intersection point 29 on the main fold lines 6, 7.
When the object is folded, the base surface ~9 is folded down about the swing line 3. Thereby the fold line segment 17 performs a motion according to arrow 35 and the fold line segment 28 is moved according to arrow 36. In the folded state of the object, the pro~ecting edge formed by the fold line segments 16 and 28 a~sume a position as indicated with 37 in broken lines. According to arrow 38, the fold line segment 27 comes to lie over the fold line segment 28 and thereby also assumes the position indicated in broken lines by 37. When the object is folded, the fold line segment 13 (and by analogy the fold line segment 10) of the main ~old lines 6, 7 assumes the position indicated by the broken line 39. The various positions of the projecting fold line segments are shown only in the lower left corner of Fig. 2. Analogous conditions exist also at the other three corners of the shape.
, Fig. 3 shows the object according to Fig. 2 in semi-folded state, whereby also the wings 1, 2 which are formed by the base .~
- surfaces 19, 20 and the stiffening surfaces 31, are at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to each other. Similar parts - show similar reference numerals, so that the figure is self--exp1anatory.

'~
~1~8270 It is an object of the present invention to arrange the wing surfaces so that during the folding of the wings they will automatically come to lie between the wings without engaging one another and damaging the wing surface.
The present invention is characterized by the fact that parallel to the longitudinal fold lines and parallel to the mentioned recessed fold lines, respective projecting fold lines are provided, which intersect each other at riqht angles in intersection point located on the main fold line.
According to further features of the invention the shape is characterized by the fact that projecting fold lines arranged parallelly to longitudinal fold lines and the segment of the transverse fold lines are arranged so that in the folded state of the foldable object the highest they can reach is up to the median longitudinal line.
Further features of the invention can be found in the patent claims and in the following description, as well as in the drawing.
In the following the invention is closer described with the aid of an embodiment example. Fig. 1 shows schematically the object of the invention in a slightly unfolded state. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the shape and Fig. 3 an oblique view of the partially folded object.
According to Fig. 1, the object has two wings 1, 2 which can be folded about swing line 3, as indicated by arrows. The wing surfaces 4, 5 lie between the two wings, when the object is folded.
,~044 Fig. 2 shows the shape cut out of paper or a corresponding foil material and the fold lines arranged thereon. Projecting fold lines are shown in solid lines and form projecting edges during folding. Recessed fold lines are shown in broken lines.
On the backside (underside of the shape) there are stiffening ~urfaces 31 not shown here in detail, but which can be seen much clearer in Fig. 3.
The shape 15 has two basically diagonal main fold lines 6, 7 which are perpendicular to each other. The intersection point 8 of the two main fold lines lies in the swing line 3 of the two wings 1, 2. The fold line segments 11, 12 and 9, 14 are recessed, while the fold line segments 10, 13 are projecting. Further through the intersection point 8 runs a transverse fold line 16 formed by two pro~ecting fold line segments 17, 18.
.
Further two longitudinal fold lines 23, 24 are provided, the left longitudinal fold line 23 consisting of two fold line segments 21 and the right longitudinal fold line 24 consisting of two fold line segments 22. Defined by the respective fold line segments 11, 21, 22 and the shape edge 33 or 34, base surfaces 19, 20 are formed which basically constitute the wings 1, 2 and are connected, particularly glued to stiffening surfaces 31. The two base surfaces 19, 20 meet each other at the intersection point 8.
.
From the intersection points 25 of the longitudinal fold lines 23, 24 with the main fold lines 6, 7, perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal fold lines 23 24, recessed fold lines 26 parallel to the transverse fold line 16 are provided. Further, parallelly to the aforementioned fold lines 21 and 26, projecting 7 ~
fold lines 27, 28 are arranged so that they are offset towards the corners of the shape, whereby these fold lines intersect each other in the intersection point 29 on the main fold lines 6, 7.
When the object is folded, the base surface ~9 is folded down about the swing line 3. Thereby the fold line segment 17 performs a motion according to arrow 35 and the fold line segment 28 is moved according to arrow 36. In the folded state of the object, the pro~ecting edge formed by the fold line segments 16 and 28 a~sume a position as indicated with 37 in broken lines. According to arrow 38, the fold line segment 27 comes to lie over the fold line segment 28 and thereby also assumes the position indicated in broken lines by 37. When the object is folded, the fold line segment 13 (and by analogy the fold line segment 10) of the main ~old lines 6, 7 assumes the position indicated by the broken line 39. The various positions of the projecting fold line segments are shown only in the lower left corner of Fig. 2. Analogous conditions exist also at the other three corners of the shape.
, Fig. 3 shows the object according to Fig. 2 in semi-folded state, whereby also the wings 1, 2 which are formed by the base .~
- surfaces 19, 20 and the stiffening surfaces 31, are at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to each other. Similar parts - show similar reference numerals, so that the figure is self--exp1anatory.
