Description

Description of the sorting device and index cards.

The invention relates to a sorting device and index cards when set up a card index.

The sorting device has the purpose of classifying index cards and make it easier to put them together on a card; are on the single sheets the records of line items are entered.

It is known that to meet these requirements, the index cards and the postcards used for this are sorted manually in a sorting box, namely first according to the matter and then within it in the appropriate order.

In this case, however, it cannot be avoided that the repeated manual Adjustment requires a great deal of time and errors can easily creep in. In addition, no index-like and rational compilation can be done manually a postcard file with large quantities.

The invention is based on the problem of the large expenditure of time when sorting the index cards and postcards and also with large quantities avoid mistakes.

The object is achieved according to the invention as follows: 1.1 The Index cards and postcards are to be identified at the top with a visual mark, which consists of two colored figures as possible, which are separated by a short ribbon are connected to each other. There should be one figure for the front (for example Circle area, red, maybe stamp size) and the other for the back (for example, rectangular area, lb) apply, so for mass index sheets and postcards until the destination and then the content of the matter can be recognized immediately by the recipient; 1.2 several notches are preprinted on the lower edge of which one according to Card content is inserted manually or by machine. As the "lower" edge of the card each side of the card or postcard can also be used accordingly; 1.3 there are additional index cards and postcards of opinion messages in large quantities also in the form of a postcard-sized form with a pre-printed check pattern, with one in each diamond Pressed in a small circle with perforated points if scr sender prints then the circle marking following digits (vertical) and letters (horizontally) in relation to the accompanying explanation of his answer text is equivalent to. These shipments - including letters - should also have a paper visual stamp such as 1.1 have stuck on for more efficient processing at the post office and the recipient, For example, a large company, institute, etc. The evaluation is carried out mechanically with thin Rods or optically and electrically with light beams 1.4 Opinion questions, Bulk mailings for quizzes or non-secret election-like communications to authorities or institutes can also use the federal personnel no. with the diamond leaf system can be used by indentations, for example for apartment counting, messages as a substitute for "referendum" investigations into tax bases for the tax office etc .; 1.5 Messages can be sent by the recipient to the Sorting can also be processed further by notching.

2.1 The sorting device consists of a long box, in the bottom of which several lifting ribs built in according to the notches on the index card are. To sort a respective Saohe, the relevant rib is raised and thus automatically all non-associated cards, while the rib's own remain unchanged and be removed in a ready-sorted manner; 2.2 The side walls are tilted outward for sorting; 2.3 On the front sides are the External handles for lifting the lifting ribs The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular as follows 1. Instead of a large expenditure of time and arising Errors, especially with large quantities of card index cards and postcards to be sorted A whole group is sorted flawlessly with just one movement.

2. The final inspection is also a staff or visual inspection Efficient and reliable, because a wand or an eye check is immediate proves the flawlessness of the respective card group.

3. The counting of the cards can be done quickly and reliably in the closed Box.

4. With the check pattern, instead of pressing the Checked.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. Fig. 1 shows a visual mark, e.g. existing with one half for the front (gray area, red) and the other half for the back (rectangular area, yellow), its shapes or colors depending on the expediency can be different. The visual mark significantly shortens the working time during processing by the post office and by the recipient, because, among other things, the front and back as well as the top and are immediately visible at the bottom of the maps.

Fig.2 shows the outline of an index card with several vorgedru th Notches (here five), one of which - depending on the content of the card - is always inserted will.

3 shows the sorting device in the closed state.

4 shows the sorting device with the right side wall tilted sideways, on which the cards lay down as far as they fall to the right after being lifted. (The boxes that have remained unchanged are those that have been sorted out according to the ones that have been raised Rib and can then be removed).

Pig. 5 shows the view of an index card with a diamond pattern (here 12 Rows and lo columns), for which the sender gives his answer according to the explanation the corresponding diamond by pressing it in or ticking it.

Claims (2)

PATENT CLAIMS: Sorting device and index cards when setting up a card index, characterized by the following features - Nos. 1 and 2, which belong together - s 1.1 The index cards and postcards are to be identified on the upper edge with a sioht mark (1) consisting of two if possible colored fitures, which are connected to each other by a short ribbon. One figure should be used for the front (e.g. circular area, red, perhaps the size of a letter mark) and the other for the back (e.g. rectangular area, yellow), so that the destination and then the subject matter can be recognized immediately on mass card sheets and postcards right up to the recipient ; 1.2 Several Kerbeinsohnitte (2) are preprinted on the lower edge, one of them according to the card content. inserted manually or by machine. Any side of the card or postcard can be used as the "lower" card margin; 1.3 other index cards and postcards of opinion messages in large quantities also exist in the form of a postcard-sized form with a preprinted diamond pattern (5), with a small circle with perforated dots pressed into each diamond. The sender then pushes through the circle marking, which corresponds to his response text in terms of digits (vertical) and letters (horizontal) in relation to the printed text. These consignments - including letters - should also have a paper mark such as number 1.1 stuck on for more efficient processing by the post office and the recipient, for example large companies, institutes, etc. The evaluation is carried out mechanically with thin rods or optically and electrically with light beams; 1.4 Opinion polls, bulk mailings for quizzes or non-secret election-like messages to authorities or institutes can also be made using the federal personnel no. can be used with the check-sheet system by impressing points, for example for housing census, notifications as a substitute for "referendum" investigations on tax bases for the tax office, etc. 1.5 Messages can be sent by the recipient by adding dots in the check pattern can also be processed further during sorting by means of notches. 2.1 The sorting device (3) consists of a long box with several lifting ribs in the bottom the notches are built into the index card. To sort a respective Thing, the rib in question is raised and thus automatically all that do not belong to it Cards, while the ribs remain unchanged and are sorted and removed will; 2. 2 The side walls are tilted outwards for sorting (4); 2.3 to the Front sides are the outside handles to raise the lifting ribs e L. e e r e i t e
