Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a method for introducing a document such as sheets, booklets, books, etc. into a document envelope which consists of a substantially rectangular sheet of material having at least one front, one back, one top and one bottom edge , Furthermore, the invention relates to a substantially rectangular sheet of material having at least one front, one rear, one top and one bottom edge.

State of the art

There are already known from the prior art various devices by means of which documents can be introduced either in the manufacturing process or subsequently in document sleeves. Thus, it is customary from the procedural point of view to introduce documents already in the production process into a transparent document envelope surrounding them, wherein the document case is usually welded, glued or otherwise arranged around the document in an irreversible manner.

A device known from the prior art also provides for introducing documents into a document envelope by means of a foil welding apparatus. Furthermore, document cases are known, which are brought by means of a thermal binding device to the documents.

A disadvantage of these methods and devices, however, is that the document cases are always irreversibly attached to the document. A subsequent replacement of the document covers is not provided and not possible. Furthermore, it is hardly possible to integrate form-integrated integrated documents such as books already in the manufacturing process in a document case, unless the document cases are already prepared in the run-up to the process with a corresponding recording, but this proves to be cumbersome in terms of manufacturing technology.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object to provide a method which eliminates the aforementioned problems.

According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the method according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

According to the invention, a method of the type mentioned in the introduction is characterized in that first by folding the upper edge and an adjoining subregion of the material of the material sheet in the region of the upper edge and by folding the lower edge and an adjacent sub-region of the material of the material sheet in the region of the lower edge at locations between the Upper and lower edge folding areas are generated.

In a further method step, folding areas are subsequently produced by folding the front edge and an adjoining subarea of the material of the material sheet in the region of the leading edge and folding the trailing edge and an adjoining subarea of the material of the material sheet in the region of the trailing edge at locations between the front and the trailing edge to create a document.

The aforementioned method steps are carried out in an advantageous embodiment of the invention by means of a folding machine, a prefolding machine or the like kind of device during the manufacturing process of the document envelope and / or the document per se. Such devices are well known in the art, such as. From the DE 3738496 A1 , which describes a device for folding paper in which the paper is fed either automatically or manually to the device. Of course, individual or the individual of the aforementioned and / or the method steps mentioned below can also be carried out completely manually.

In a further method step, the corner regions of the document are introduced into the corner receptacles formed in a closed manner by the overlapping of the fold regions with the respective adjacent edges of the material sheet.

For machine insertion of a document in the Eckaufnahmen this can preferably be pre-bent or initially opened in the case of a bound document. The two side areas of the document are then first introduced on one side, then on the opposite side in the Eckaufnahmen or the folding areas.

The advantage of the method according to the invention is that the documents can be reversibly introduced into the document sleeves by the formation of the closed Eckaufnahmen. Also, it is possible to document covers Easy and reversible to arrange already integrated documents.

Other objects, features, advantages and applications of the method according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings. All described and / or illustrated features, alone or in any combination form the subject matter of the invention, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their dependency.

• 1a-1c das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in einer schematischen Ansicht;
• 2 einen Materialbogen in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform.

In the drawings show

• 1a - 1c the inventive method in a schematic view;
• 2 a material sheet in an advantageous embodiment.

Embodiment of the invention

1a shows the first process step, in which first by folding the top edge 13 and an adjacent sub-area 13a of the material of the material sheet 1 in the area of the upper edge 13 as well as by folding the lower edge 14 and an adjacent sub-area 14a of the material of the material sheet 1 in the area of the lower edge 14 the folding areas 15a 15b are generated.

1b shows the second process step, in which by folding the leading edge 10 and an adjacent sub-area 10a of the material of the material sheet 1 in the area of the leading edge 10 and by folding the trailing edge 11 and an adjacent sub-area 11a of the material of the material sheet 1 in the area of the trailing edge 11, the folding areas 12a , 12b are generated.

In 1c is shown as in by the overlap of the folding areas 12a ; 12b; 15a, 15b to the respective adjacent edges 10,11,13,14 of the material sheet 1 closed corner seats 16a . 16b . 16c . 16d the corner areas 20a , 20b, 20c, 20b of the document 2 be introduced.

How out 2 it can be seen, at least the generation of the folding areas 15a 15b at predetermined crease marks 130,140 on the material sheet 1 responsible for carrying out the method has at least one 10 , a background 11 , an upper 13 as well as a lower edge 14 on. Particularly preferred are on the material sheet 1 Numerous arranged on different document heights kink marks 130,140 provided with the crease marks 130,140 are advantageous creases that are optically detected (eg. By means of a sensor) and corresponding to the size of the document to be introduced for folding, for example. By means of a Faltmechanismusteils or manually controlled.

The inventive method is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments. Rather, a variety of design variations are possible, which make use of the solution shown even with fundamentally different type of execution.
