Description

The invention relates to a bilateral usable folding plan according to the preamble of claim 1, which is folded and slotted so that it is folded into a handy format and turned over on both sides by turning the page those folding pages and folding of the existing ones on the respectively opened folding pages Flaps can be viewed in sections on a small footprint.

A folding plan is known, in particular as a city map of the Falk publishing house, executed according to a patent DE-PS 8 43 031 and DE-PS 8 35 219, which can be viewed on one side as a handy book and the with horizontal and vertical folds and so on every second vertical fold is slotted that by three horizontal folds simple flaps are created and the vertical Limit the fold pages. The folded folding plan can be turned one-sided by turning the page the folding pages and folding over the existing ones on the folding pages opened in each case Flaps can be viewed in sections on a small footprint. For protection and The folding plan is usually easier to use together with a register in one Envelope attached. The folding plan is on one side and the register on the other Glued inside of the cover. With this folding plan version, it proves disadvantageous that only one side of the folding plan can be used in this practical way.

Based on this prior art, the invention is based on the object To develop a folding plan that is bilateral in the practical and handy described above Is usable and attached if necessary together with registers in an envelope can be.

This object is achieved with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 in that the folding plan with one or more Double flaps is provided. Each double flap has four mutually parallel and spaced same, preferably horizontal folds, here called flap folds, each in are folded alternately.

The folding plan is transverse to the flap folds, preferably vertical, with parallel ones and folds of equal distance, here called side folds, which fold the sides in width limit and which are each folded opposite to the adjacent side fold.

According to a further feature of the invention, each side fold is in the area between the two flap folds of each double flap slit in the opposite direction  are folded to the respective side fold. Through the slots, each double flap can be used on both Folded plan pages are folded in the area of the open folding pages. For one good stability and manageability of the folding plan, it is advisable to close the double flaps place the slits on each side fold, one below the other and from the edge of the folding plan to have a distance.

The folding plan is made by folding the two middle ones and unfolding the two outer flap folds of each double flap and then by folding the Side folds folded.

It is also proposed to use the folding plan for protection and better handling to provide an envelope and attach it to it by means of alternating strips. By the Alternating strips, the principle of which is described in patent DE-PS 3 75 566, can both fold sheet pages can be used without exceeding the width of the cover during use. The Alternating strips are divided by at least two parallel folds for the joint function. One end of the alternating strip is on the inside of the cover and the other end is on Folding plan attached outside of the flap area and the distance between the Articulated folds are dimensioned so that the folded folding plan is parallel to the open one Envelope can be offset by at least the width of a folding page.

By attaching the folding plan to the envelope using an alternating strip, it is possible to attach registers or other supplements to one or both of the inside of the cover.

With this invention, both folding plan pages can now be described in the opening paragraph be handled and viewed in a simple and practical manner. This doubles compared to the known folding plan, the usable area with the same folding plan format. Other on the one hand, the folding plan format can be reduced accordingly with the same required area, which means a reduction in material, weight and volume. By using the Exchange strips can now register on both sides of the cover, z. B. one for each Front and back of the folding plan, or other inserts can be attached. The new Folding plan is complete with cover, registers and inserts using the same procedures and from the same materials as the well-known one-sided folding plan. By the You can apply a thin, transparent plastic film on both sides of the folding plan Improve the protection of the folding plan surface as well as the stability and durability of the plan. The Alternating strips should consist of a correspondingly flex-resistant material, e.g. B. from cardboard,  and can e.g. B. attachable to folding plan and envelope. The handling of the new Folding plans are possible without instructions after a short familiarization.

In the following, an embodiment of the invention with reference to drawings described. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the Faltplanes,

Fig. 2 to 4, the operating principle of a double flap,

Fig. 5 is a schematic representation of the application of the alternating strip,

Fig. 6, the double-sided mounting of registers at the envelope,

FIGS. 7 to 11, the schematic representation of the handling of the Faltplanes.

In Fig. 1, the folding plan is shown schematically, divided into six folding pages (columns) and two double flaps, which is attached to the envelope by means of alternating strips 81 . The folding plan can e.g. B. be printed on the front with a city map and on the back with the associated map or with detailed maps. The folding plan is made of card paper, for example, the alternating strips and the envelope are made of cardboard.

The horizontal and vertical folds 55 to 67 create the folding plan fields 1 to 54 . Starting from the folding plan front shown in FIG. 1, the folds 55 , 57 , 59 , 61 , 63 , 65 and 67 are each designed as valley folds and the folds 56 , 58 , 60 , 62 , 64 and 66 each as mountain folds. The vertical side folds 55 to 59 are equally spaced from one another and limit the width of the individual fold sides. Four horizontal flap folds 60 to 63 and 64 to 67 each form the upper and lower double flaps and are equally spaced from one another.

The slots 68 to 77 are made on the side folds 55 to 59 in the area of the flaps. The double flaps are placed so that the slots on each side fold are at a distance from each other and from the edge of the folding plan.

The folding plan is folded together by folding the middle double flap folds 61 , 62 , 65 and 66 , unfolding the outer double flap folds 60 , 63 , 64 and 67 and then folding the folding pages in a zigzag manner on the side folds 55 to 59 .

The functional principle of a double flap is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 using the upper double flap with the flap folds 60 to 63 as an example. The double flap is folded as in FIG. 3 and can then be folded out either according to FIG. 2 between the flap folds 61 and 63 from the front or according to FIG. 4 between the flap folds 60 and 62 from the back of the folding plan.

The folding plan is provided with an envelope according to FIG. 5 and fastened to it by means of alternating strips. The alternating strip 81 has two parallel folds, which serve as a hinge, and is adhesively attached with the ends to the folding plan and to the cover so that one hinge is centered on the back of folding plan field 6 parallel to the side fold 59 and the other hinge on the upper left inner edge of the back of the cover 79 is parallel to the fold from the back cover 80 . The distance between the joints corresponds to half the width of folding plan field 6 .

The handling of the folding plan is very easy. If the envelope is opened, the folded folding plan 82 according to FIG. 7 lies on the back of the envelope 79 . The folding plan front can then be used as shown in FIG. 8 by turning the folding pages on the front cover 78 and folding the flaps on the open folding pages. If the Faltplanrückseite be used as the folding map is shown in Fig. 9 and 10, performed by switching strip 81 parallel offset relative to the envelope to the envelope face 78 toward and then as shown in FIG. 11 respectively by turning the folding sides of the back cover 79 and folding the the any flaps opened on the open sides can be used.

If necessary, according to FIG. 6, book-like registers can be attached to both inside of the cover, e.g. B. on the front cover 78, the register 83 for the folding plan front and on the back cover 79, the register 84 for the folding plan back. The register 84 covers the end of the alternating strip 81 fastened on the back of the envelope 79 .
