Definitions

  • This invention relates to continuous business forms and more particularly to multiple-ply continuous mailer set assemblies.
  • FR-A-2 267 949 discloses the provision of separate packages of interior plies joined by a common longitudinal detachable band on one or both edges of continuous succession of mailer set assemblies.
  • the packages of interior plies are longitudinally equispaced, allowing the outer plies to be transversely glued together therebetween and allowing the succession of mailer set assemblies to be fanfolded without tenting.
  • US-A-3 325 188 discloses a continuous succession of transversely separable mailer set assemblies wherein a pair of outer plies and one or more interior plies are joined together by a common glue line deposited on only one of the outer plies by virtue of the one or more interior plies comprising a row of perforations, co-incident with the one glue line, wherethrough glue from the line may seep between the outer plies to join them and the one or more inner plies together.
  • FR-A-2 267 949 goes some way towards improving the transverse flexibility of continuous mailer set assemblies, but there still remain problems associated with rigidity caused by the common bonding of many plies by many glue lines.
  • US-A-3 325 188 in part solves the rigidity problem of the many glue lines by using just one glue line, but fails to control the transverse seepage between plies of glue when many plies are to be joined in common, thereby leaving a residual flexibility problem.
  • the present invention consists in a continuous form mailer set assembly comprising a continuous face ply, a continuous back ply, and a plurality of packets of one or more interior plies, where said packets of interior plies are individually separate and positioned longitudinally between said face ply and said back ply, where each of said packets of interior plies is attached between said face ply and said back ply along both of its longitudinal edges to permit said face ply and said back ply to be transversely folded between successive ones of said plurality of packets of interior plies with only said face ply and said back ply included in the fold, and where said back ply comprises a pair of single glue lines, one along each of the longitudinal edges of the assembly said assembly being characterised by each of said packets of one or more interior plies comprising a corresponding pair of series of punched slots along its longitudinal edges, directly adjacent to said glue lines for the glue from each of said longitudinal glue lines to bleed through said punched slots to join said back ply, said one
  • a continuous mailer set form assembly which comprises a plurality of interior plies within each mailer set.
  • the multiplicity of interior plies in each mailer set are attached between a front and a back longitudinally continuous sheet at both their left and their right hand edges.
  • a series of holes are punched entirely through the plurality of interior plies along their right and left edges parallel to the longitudinal path of the continuous form.
  • a left and right hand glue line runs adjacent to the series of punched holes such that the glue bleeds through the holes of the interior plies to permanently attach the interior plies.
  • interior plies are all glued via a longitudinal pair of single glue lines rather than the successive layers of interior plies and glue lines.
  • the resulting configuration provides a unique continuous mailer set assembly having improved tenting characteristics and increased flexibility through a reduction in glue lines. This improvement is accomplished while maintaining interior ply registration.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the prior art continuous form 10 which includes the top sheet 12 and the bottom sheet 14. Sandwiched between these two sheets 12 and 14 is a plurality of interior plies 16. Between each of the interior plies is a glue line 18. As is shown, there is a plurality of glue lines 18 equal to one less than the plurality of interior plies 16. Further, there are continuous stubs 20 connecting successive groups of these interior plies 16.
  • the interior plies are contained by gluing between each ply in either the left or right stub.
  • the plies are held in register by leaving a stub continuous on either the left or right side.
  • This type of construction has several problems.
  • the glue line is put down between each ply in the continuous stub, which is a major contributor to tenting (slippage between the forms at the fold before the glue dries).
  • Gluing between each ply also leaves an excessive amount of glue in that stub causing stiffness in the stub which makes the forms difficult to feed through automatic printing equipment.
  • Figure 2 shows an exploded view of a typical mailer set 40 showing the interior plies 36 extending into both line hold stubs 54. It should be noted that there is no continuous stub on either side of the. interior plies; they are completely separated from each other. This means that there are only two plies glued together where the form is folded at the folding lines, which eliminates the tenting problem.
  • Slots 34 are punched through all the interior plies 36 on both ends thereof, a short distance toward the center of the form from each line hole stub perforations 48.
  • the glue lines 38 are applied to both the back of the face ply 42 and on the face of the back ply 44.
  • the glue lines 38 are put down so that when the form 40 is assembled, these glue lines fall underneath and above the punched slots 34 in the interior plies 36. This allows the glue to bleed through the slots 34, sealing both of the ends of the outer plies 42, 44 of the mailer 40 together. Because there are only two glue lines on each mailer, no matter how many interior plies there are, the resulting stubs 56, 58 are much more flexible and easier to feed through automatic printing equipment.
  • the mailer set is opened by removing the tear off stub 56 at the tear off perforation 50.
  • This perforation 50 is on all plies, face, back and all interior plies.
  • the interior plies are then grasped at the thumb point 60 and snapped out breaking loose at the snap perforation 52.
