Abstract

Folded card, which, folded up to a folding angle of preferably about 90 °, can be placed on a horizontal surface so that their viewing sides [1] face slightly upwards and they stand as safe as possible against falling over, characterized in that their folding edge [ 5] is designed as a gusset [4], wherein the distance of the fold lines of the mountain folds [8] of the gusset [4] towards each other decreases towards the top, characterized in that the gusset surfaces [4] via incisions [9] from one to other mountain fold [8], over the valley fold away [7], between which or between an incision [9] and the edge of the map, the mountain folds [8] are interrupted, so that between these incisions [9] located parts of the Zwickelflächen [4] regardless of the folding angle of the card in the plane of the respective adjacent viewing surfaces [1] and are no longer in the gusset plane when folding and between these faces a Be rgfalte forms.

Description

In the invention, it is a folding card, especially suitable for use as a business card, which can be half folded, placed on a base and so produces a three-dimensional effect.

The shape of the fold allows a concise design in both folded and erected condition.

The card according to the invention is easy to produce, folded it is hardly thicker than a normal folding card and its principle opens up a variety of design options.

State of the art

The areal design of business cards is most varied in many ways.

Even with folding cards, the potential of a modification of the folding edge is not used. Only a few individually designed business cards use 3-dimensional folding effects, which are however associated with a complicated production.

The inventive 3D business card should open up new design options.

According to the invention, a folding card receives at its folded edge [ 5 ] Three secondary folding lines, instead of the usual mountain fold.

A mountain fold [ 8th ] is from a valley fold [ 7 ] and a mountain fold [ 8th ] followed. When folded, this results in a gusset [ 3 / 4 ] along the primary folding edge [ 5 ].

It makes sense that these folding lines are symmetrical to each other and created to the entire map 5 . 12 . 19 . 26 , Run the two outer mountain folds [ 8th ] conically approaching each other, the viewing surfaces [ 1 ] when setting up easily towards the viewer, which improves the visibility of the graphics.

In order to set up the card a horizontal Aufstellkante [ 6 ], the main body of the map should consist of the following geometric elements, described from left to right 5 . 12 . 19 . 26 :
A rectangle at the right edge (mountain fold) [ 5 / 8th ] is a right triangle, with the hypotenuse of the triangle to the edge 5 ] of the rectangle borders. The right-hand side of the triangle, bordering on the upper corner of the rectangle, forms the valley fold [ 7 ]. Rectangle and triangle are now together around the valley fold [ 7 ] mirrored. The two triangles form the gusset surfaces [ 4 ], the rectangles the view areas [ 1 ] the map. The mountain folds [ 8th ] on the edge [ 5 ] of the rectangle can also be moved parallel to this away from the triangles, so that the gusset surfaces [ 4 ] become trapezoidal. Likewise, the gusset surfaces [ 4 ] Rectangles, but this does not lead to the advantageous inclination of the viewing surfaces [ 1 ] when setting up leads.

The gusset surfaces located between two fold lines [ 4 ] receive two symmetrically arranged incisions [ 9 ] of mountain fold [ 8th ] to mountain fold [ 8th ] running. Between these incisions [ 9 ]] located partial surfaces of the gusset [ 4 ] remain when folded in a plane with the adjacent view areas [ 1 ], whereby the mountain folds [ 8th ] in this area and the valley fold [ 7 ] in the middle of the gusset [ 4 ], between the cuts [ 9 ] to a mountain fold [ 8th ] becomes. When folding or setting up the folding map these surfaces form a supernatant [ 2 ], which is particularly suitable for applying a logo or a QR code. Furthermore, the established map is stabilized, which would not be the case in a version with a continuous gusset.

Following this principle, the fold can also be cut with several cuts [ 9 ] and supernatants [ 2 ]. Also to the mountain fold [ 8th ] of the gusset { 4 ] adjoining partial surfaces of the viewing surfaces [ 1 ] are cut so that these parts when folding in a plane with the adjacent gusset surface 4 ] lie.

For the design of the map, parts of the gusset [ 4 ] cut out [ 11 ] become. Especially if at the top of the gusset [ 4 ] The fold lines are very close to each other, this is useful to facilitate the folding.

It is also possible to make the folding card asymmetrical or to form the outer edges of the card as desired.

Advantages of the 3D business card according to the invention

The invention is based on a simple principle with outstanding effectiveness.

Set up, the view areas { 1 ], with upwardly tapering gussets, slightly upwards, which facilitates the viewing z. B. 3 . 4 ,

Due to the gusset training with incisions and protrusion at the fold edge, the established map remains quite stable in the optimal position.

About supernatant [ 2 ] and adjacent viewing area [ 1 ] extending logo or similar symbol stands out with its three-dimensional effect concise.

The combination of several supernatants [ 2 ] and secondary gussets enable an even more extensive three-dimensional design of the fold edge.

The card can be made easily and with relatively little waste. 29

It can be produced inexpensively pre-punched and then easily folded by the user himself.

On the two sides of the or the supernatants 1 ... 7 [ 2 ], two different QR codes (eg telephone number and e-mail address) or the like can be displayed and, in the installed state, can be detected individually individually.

The card can be transported and stored closed in a space-saving manner, opens itself up to the installation position by the residual stress of the material, but can also be scanned or photographed completely unfolded for data acquisition.

Several cards can also be stacked in the upright position, which is advantageous for the presentation. 30 ... 33
