"Folded cards or cassette for several records"

The invention relates to a folding box or folding box for storing several records belonging to a series, usually in a bag-shaped, with a middle »hole provided inner shell, which in turn lie in a slightly larger-sized outer cover with printed information about the contents made of cardboard Paper is housed. The individual record is equipped in this way delivered to the buyer and it remains in this condition later, i.e. after when it is used, it is put back into these two cases and in a corresponding one Room of a Höbelstück parked upright.

To the extent that these plates are in any way related, they have so far been housed in a cardboard box made of two

741105717.10.74

separately manufactured parts, base part and cover part, each of which has four edges folded upwards around a fold line and has a side bar, the two adjacent punched corners of which lie against each other and are connected to one another by the edges of a correspondingly thick layer containing the printed and pictorial work , which are subsequently glued to the outer surface of the base or cover and the outer and inner surface of the side bars. The cover part corresponds to the base part in its manufacture, only it is enlarged by the material thickness of the cardboard or the four adjoining side bars, so that it can easily be slipped over the side bars of the bottom part that holds the inserted records. These two parts, cover and base, are subsequently connected to one another by means of an elastic adhesive strip stuck on the inside as a third component, the width of which corresponds to twice the height of the side web. The two parts must stand in such a way that the cover part rests flat on the table top, while the bottom part rests on the upper edge of the cover

741105717.10.74

partly lies and then diagonally towards the edge runs downwards. When the base and lid are in the closed position of use, the hinge assumes a U-shaped shape.

So it is easy to see that this is the selling price of such a clamshell box determining manufacturing method is very time-consuming and wage-consuming, because because of the two different sized blanks also two punching tools exist and a plurality of work processes must follow one another. Also the The use of this cassette has disadvantages. In any case, you have to remove and re-store the records, even if they are are generally kept in relatively small numbers, as is the bottom of the cassette like place the lid, opened by 180 °, on the flat table surface. The interior of the bottom part is dimensioned in the same way as the printed outer shell of the plate. All plates are therefore relatively close with extensive edge pressure on the inside of the four Side bars of the bottom part. If the cassette contains e.g. five different records

741105717.10.74

and if you want to find the one you want, there is practically no one else Way, ate der, each and every one from the bottom part to be removed and placed in the opening of the adjacent cover part. Therefore must the double-long space on the table surface remains occupied; because you have to go after all the playing of one or more plates put them back into the narrower interior of the cover part before the cover part can be closed unhindered. Who here this Does not comply with the type of treatment and still leaves one or the other plate in the lid space, the joint between the two cardboard parts would burst, i.e. at least the ends of the side bars of the Tear off the cover from the side bar parallel to the joint.

The invention is based on the object of producing a cassette in a simple and cheaper manner and of avoiding the destruction of the joint, as well as the manner in which the cassette is used so to facilitate that on the table surface

741105717.10.74

only the space the size of the closed cassette is used. Even that Selecting the desired plate from the supply of the cassette and the reintroduction process should be facilitated and, in addition, prevented that one of the plates accidentally slips out of the lower part and thereby the danger is exposed to destruction.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the carton includes all components punched out of a single sheet of cardboard, preferably a microwell cardboard, all around Blank consists of X) a bottom part with two on both long sides adjoining ^ between two in the Äb ± and from each other embossed fold lines to be formed (first and second) side bars and one on these laterally adjoining, relatively narrow, one after the other into one around them Side bars to be folded over higher level, two guide channels for the cover strips forming the records,

IX) one on the lower transverse side of the bottom part also between two standing from each other

741105717.10.74

embossed folding lines to be formed (third) side web and a cover strip to be folded partially over the lower edge area of the cassette space, the free ends of which are then connected to the two cover strips mentioned by appropriate organs (e.g. clips, hollow rivets, double-coated adhesive strips or the like.) will and
III) one at the upper transverse edge of the bottom part

if between two fold lines embossed at a distance to be formed (fourth) side web

Cassette space mentioned in support on the three cover strips, the cover of a book \ comparable.

In a preferred embodiment, the two side cover strips point outwards the embossed line has at least one punched-out slot running parallel to it the width of the cardboard thickness at such a distance from the transverse inner embossed line on that each one at the same distance from the

adjacent parallel embossed line on both side edges of the lower (third), transverse to v the cover strip running along the lengthwise cover strip * after folding it up and down only loosely inserted into the slot, its length somewhat overlapping locking projection the connection of the same with the two longitudinal cover strips takes over.

In the area of the transverse embossed line of the The cut for the lid tail is narrower in its width due to a longitudinal cut the strips corresponding to the adjacent side web are separated after the finished folding of the blank to the cassette by 180 ° in its interior are einkbppbar and so the Defuse the punch-sharp front edges of the two long side bars to prevent the insertion of the wrapped records to facilitate. A short length of this is sufficient in itself trimmed narrow strip, but it is advantageous aft * if the length of these two Strip is dimensioned so that in the folded position it also has at least the beginning

7411057 i7.io.74

the mentioned slot and thus the locking projection lying in this covered, a Measure that also facilitates easy insertion of the wrapped record because thereby an abutment projection on these two opposite positions are omitted.

Finally, it is also advantageous if the outermost in the longitudinal direction of the blank Edge is cut back in an arc in the direction of the side bar immediately adjacent to it, because you can access it with the From this point, thumb and forefinger move the contents of the plate to the left over the The joint area can be pushed out so that you can see the different panels on the outside able to distinguish their outer shell and therefore the pulling out of the desired plate unhindered with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand through the joint over the open lid area is made possible without that the plates located in the pocket-like lower part slip out of the interior and thereby endangered

A connection could also be made at this point by means of an interposed piece of stiffener which is provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides.

When comparing the known Klappkassäbtte described in detail in the introduction with the inventive gem.

The two-part old cassette requires / several work steps in the manufacturing plant, since both parts with slightly different dimensions can only be pasted with the printed blank, the edges of which have to be glued over the side edges and then also on the inside, around the respective four abutting edges to close the side bars so that they create a reasonably durable corner connection. With the new one- piece cassette *, the finished, printed outer sheet is glued onto the sheet of corrugated cardboard beforehand. It can also be proceeded in such a way that, since the finished punching

741105717.10.7t

strip shows a consistently flat outer track, the printing was carried out afterwards will.

The joint is now a ( new ) material part of the cut. It is therefore not necessary to stick an adhesive strip from the inside onto the side walls of the two ( old ) components to form the joint, which causes considerable difficulties because the base and cover are loosely on top of one another in the side bar area If Mr. wants to protect the joint area permanently, such a flexible stiffening strip can be glued in a far more convenient way to two uniformly connected parts, namely the base and cover, lying flat in one plane. In addition, it should be noted that with the old cassette, especially if handled inappropriately when opening and closing the hinge strips, the inner surfaces of the two side bars are easily detached under the influence of tensile forces until they are finally separated, so that a new hinge would then have to be glued on.

741105717.10.74

■ '}%

Compared to the old cassette, there are no four side bars. Since the inner dimensions of the bottom part are precisely aligned with the outer casing of the records and furniture compartments are only slightly larger in height for their upright storage, the result ( old ) is that the two opposite outer side bars are cardboard-thick an inevitable enlargement of the cassette in this upright direction, which makes it difficult to insert and remove the filled cassette from the furniture compartment. Their introduction often leads to the fact that these cassettes have to be placed separately and correspondingly inclined, which means that valuable storage space is lost.

The old cassettes have to be completed in the manufacturer's factory and therefore, depending on the height of the cassettes, require an extremely large transport space to the record factory in which the records are inserted. A lot of stacking space is therefore required at both locations. The bottom and top wall can easily bend out of their planes under the influence of any moisture.

741105717.10.74

With the new cassettes, on the other hand, the blanks are stacked on top of one another and only formed into a cassette when the record is in operation. Valuable stacking and transport space is not required here. In addition, due to the flat layer on top of one another and the dead weight, deformation out of the plane under the influence of moisture is avoided. These cuts are then made in the record factory with little effort by attaching one of the known connecting means, of which the plug-in locking is the simplest because it can be done without tools.

As far as the later use by the buyer is concerned, the old cassette of two-part design has the disadvantage when removing one of several plates of the container contents that you have to put the bottom part and the folded cover part next to one another on the table top, whereupon you can now remove the plates from the narrower one Take out the bottom part one by one and move it to the top part until you have the desired plate in your hand.

With the new hinged case according to the invention

741105717.10.74

the lid is simply opened in this position and you can now by a skillful shaking movement or by a sliding movement Place your thumb on the stack of plates on the bottom of the bottom part in the direction of the lid

in the

move it a little, ^ can be set up in such a way that the individual plate edges are exposed in steps. So you can immediately recognize the desired plate and take it out and, by temporarily straightening it up, let the remaining plates slide back into their original position, whereupon the lid rests itself without any hindrance and takes up the space previously occupied on the table top releases. Of particular importance is the fact that as a result of the lateral cover strips there are two lateral correspondingly long guide channels which force the user to only remove the plate towards the cover side and to push it in again from there, so that the danger is eliminated that with the old "" cassette type, the records to be removed from the top and placed in the lid compartment - for example when the mood is high - cannot fall out of the hand and be damaged.

It should be noted that when handling

741105717.10.74

with the old cassette it can easily open in such a way that all plates fall to the floor if handled inappropriately. When working with the new K assette is in this respect at the same slippage is no danger of the supporting hand because all her plates lying on three sides, ie by about 270 ° by the DeckelstaaLfen l ^a, l ^a _t 2 ^a in lying in a bag and can hardly slip away even when the j

Lid should really open.
