Description

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Versandtasche, insbesondere gepolsterte Versandtasche, die sowohl mit mehrfach zu öffnendem Drucksachenverschluß als auch mit dauerfestem Briefverschluß verwendbar ist.The innovation relates to a mailing bag, in particular a padded mailing bag, which can be used both with a reusable printed matter closure and with a durable letter closure.

Bekannte Verschlüsse (DE-OS 24 45 516) für solche Versandtaschen haben auf der Innenfläche der Verschlußklappe Klebebeschichtungsstreifen, die in geschlossenem Zustand der Tasche mit entsprechend auf der Taschenrückwand angeordneten und im geöffneten Zustand der Tasche von klebstofffreien Innenflächen der Verschlußklappe überdeckten und geschützten Klebebeschichtungsstreifen zusammenwirken. Für Versandtaschen mit doppelwandiger Verschlußklappe sind derartige Verschlüsse so abgeändert, (DE-OS 25 08 746), daß für den Drucksachen- oder Warenproben-Verschluß in der inneren Wand einer doppelwandig ausgebildeten Verschlußklappe im Bereich der auf der äusseren Wand der Verschlußklappe vorhandenen Klebebeschichtung Lochungen vorgesehen sind, durch die hindurch im geschlossenem Zustand der Tasche der Klebekontakt mit der auf der Taschenrückwand angeordneten Klebebeschichtung zustande kommt. Diese bekannten Taschenverschlüsse haben den Nachteil, daß für den Drucksachenverschluß einerseits und den festen Briefverschluß andererseits unterschiedliche Klebstoffarten aufgetragen werden müssen, was den Herstellungsvorgang für solche Taschen unerwünscht kompliziert macht und die Fertigprodukte verteuert.Known closures (DE-OS 24 45 516) for such mailers have on the inner surface of the flap adhesive coating strips that cooperate in the closed state of the pocket with correspondingly arranged on the back wall of the pocket and in the open state of the pocket of adhesive-free inner surfaces of the flap covered and protected adhesive coating strips. For mailers with a double-walled closure flap, such closures are modified (DE-OS 25 08 746) so that perforations are provided for the closure of printed matter or samples in the inner wall of a double-walled closure flap in the region of the adhesive coating provided on the outer wall of the closure flap through which, when the bag is closed, the adhesive contact with the adhesive coating arranged on the rear wall of the bag is achieved. These known pocket closures have the disadvantage that different types of adhesive have to be applied for the printed matter closure on the one hand and the fixed letter closure on the other hand, which makes the manufacturing process for such pockets undesirably complicated and increases the cost of the finished products.

Zwar entfallen diese Nachteile bei dem aus dem DE-GM 80 15 583 bekannten Versandtaschen-Verschluß. Aber abgesehen davon, daß ein solcher Verschluß nur für Versandtaschen brauchbar ist, die aus einseitig mit einem schweiß- und siegelfähigen Kunststoff beschichtetem Papier hergestellt sind, läßt sich dieser Verschluß, nachdem er als Drucksachenverschluß benutzt worden ist, nur relativ unsicher als fester Briefverschluß wiederverwenden, weil die einzige, beiden Verschlußarten dienende Klebebeschichtung bei der Handhabung des Drucksachenverschlusses und/oder bei der postalischen Prüfung des Tascheninhalts leicht verschmutzt und so mindestens stellenweise inaktiviert werden kann und bei der anschließenden Bildung eines Briefverschlusses ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmaßnahmen, wie Sicherung durch Überkleben mit_Haftklebestreifen, eine dauerhafte Haftung nicht mehr mit der erforderlichen Sicherheit gewährleistet ist. Aber selbst falls der Briefverschluß als solcher ohne unerwünschte Hilfsmittel sicher kleben sollte, sind, da bei diesem bekannten Verschluß die Festklebehaftung nur zwischen einem relativ schmalen Streifen der umgefalteten Klappenkante und einem entsprechend in einem relativ großen Abstand von der Rückwand-Oberkante entfernt gelegenen Streifen der Taschenrückwand vorhanden ist, der haftfreie Bereich zwischen umgelegter Klappe und Taschenrückwand und entsprechend die Länge der Öffnung im Bereich der Seitenränder relativ groß, so daß die Gefahr besteht, daß Teile des Versandgutes aus der geschlossenen Tasche herausfallen und/oder der Versandtascheninhalt durch Feuchtigkeit oder sonstige Fremdstoffe, die z.B. während des Versands von außen in den Tascheninnenraum hinein gelangen können, verunreinigt wird.These disadvantages do not apply to the mailing-bag closure known from DE-GM 80 15 583. But apart from the fact that such a closure can only be used for mailing bags which are made of paper coated on one side with a weldable and sealable plastic, this closure, after it has been used as a printed matter closure, can only be reused relatively securely as a fixed letter closure, because the only adhesive coating used for both types of closures can easily become soiled during handling of the printed matter closure and / or when checking the contents of the bag by post and can thus be deactivated at least in places, and in the subsequent formation of a letter closure without additional auxiliary measures, such as securing by sticking with adhesive strips, is permanent Liability is no longer guaranteed with the necessary security. But even if the letter closure as such should adhere securely without undesirable aids, since with this known closure the adhesion is only between a relatively narrow strip of the folded flap edge and a strip of the rear wall of the pocket which is located at a relatively large distance from the upper rear edge is present, the non-adhesive area between the flap and the rear wall of the bag and the length of the opening in the area of the side edges are relatively large, so that there is a risk that parts of the goods to be shipped will fall out of the closed bag and / or the contents of the mailing bag may be exposed to moisture or other foreign matter for example can get into the inside of the bag during shipping.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die beschriebenen Nachteile der bekannten Versandtaschen-Verschlüsse zu beheb-en und eine eine Versandtasche zu schaffen, die aus beliebigem dafür bekanntem Material bestehen kann, deren Verschluß sowohl als Drucksachen-Adhäsionsverschluß als auch als Briefsachen-Dauerfestverschluß einfach und sicher zu benutzen ist, und in der das darin vorhandene Versandgut bei beiden Verschlußarten-Bildungen in gleXher Weise gut gehalten und geschützt ist, und für deren Herstellung gewünschtenfalls nur eine Art von Klebebeschichtung benötigt wird.The innovation is based on the task of remedying the disadvantages of the known mailing-bag closures and creating a mailing bag that any known material can exist, the closure of which is easy and safe to use both as a pressure-sensitive adhesive closure and as a permanent stationary closure, and in which the goods contained therein are well kept and protected in the same way in both types of closure formation, and for the production of which, if desired, only requires one type of adhesive coating.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Neuerung aus von einer Versandtasche mit an der Vorderwand ansitzender, um eine Umbuglinie auf die Rückwand umlegbarer und durch Klebebeschichtung daran festlegbarer Verschlußklappe und sieht neuerungsgemäß die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Gestaltungsmerkmale vor, wobei noch in den Unteransprüchen 2 und 3 für die Aufgabenlösung vorteilhafte und förderliche Weiterbildungen beansprucht sind,-die teilweise technische Überschneidungen mit dem Stand der Technik aufweisen.To solve this problem, the innovation is based on a mailing bag with a flap that sits on the front wall, can be folded around a folding line on the back wall and can be fixed by adhesive coating, and, according to the innovation, provides the design features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1, with the subclaims 2 and 3 further developments which are advantageous and beneficial for solving the task are claimed, some of which have technical overlaps with the prior art.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 8 als Ausschnitt veranschaulichte Versandtasche 1 ist in bekannter Weise aus an ihren beiden Längsrändern und dem unteren Querrand aneinander befestigten Vorderwand 2 und Rückwand 3 gebildet. An der Vorderwand 2 befindet sich eine um die in Höhe der Einfüllöffnung der Tasche 1 gelegene Umbuglinie 5 auf die Rückwand 3 umlegbare Verschlußklappe 4. Die Endkante der Verschlußklappe 4 ist mit 6 bezeichnet.The mailing bag 1 illustrated as a detail in FIGS. 1 to 8 is formed in a known manner from front wall 2 and rear wall 3 fastened to one another on its two longitudinal edges and the lower transverse edge. On the front wall 2 there is a closure flap 4 which can be folded over to the rear wall 3 around the fold line 5 located at the level of the filling opening of the pocket 1. The end edge of the closure flap 4 is designated by 6.

In Figur 1 ist die Verschlußkalppen-Innenfläche 7 zum Beschauer hin gelegen gezeigt, während in der Darstellung der Figur 3 der Betrachter auf die Verschlußklappen-Außenseite 8 schaut. Auf der Verschlußklappe 4 ist parallel zu Umbuglinie 5 und Endkante 6 eine Faltlinie 11 angebracht, die die Verschlußklappe in zwei etwa gleich große, parallel gelegenen Bereiche 13 und 14 teilt. Im an der Endkante 6 direkt anschließenden Bereich 13 ist eine Klebebeschichtung 9 auf der Innenfläche 7 der Verschlußklappe angebracht, die in Fig. 1 mit einem Schutzstreifen 10 überdeckt gezeigt ist, der teilweise abgezogen dargestellt ist.FIG. 1 shows the inner surface 7 of the closure caliper facing the viewer, while in the illustration in FIG. 3 the viewer looks at the outer side 8 of the closure flap. On the flap 4, a fold line 11 is attached parallel to the fold line 5 and the end edge 6, which divides the flap into two areas 13 and 14 of approximately the same size, located in parallel. In the area 13 directly adjoining the end edge 6, an adhesive coating 9 is applied to the inner surface 7 of the closure flap, which is shown in FIG. 1 covered with a protective strip 10, which is shown partially pulled off.

Parallel zu der Oberkante 12 der Taschenrückwand 3 an der Einfüllöffnung ist eine weitere Klebebeschichtung 15 auf dem Taschenrücken 3 aufgebracht, die wiederum mit einem Schutzstreifen 16 abgedeckt ist, der in Fig. 1 ebenfalls teilweise abgezogen dargestellt ist. Parallel zu dieser Klebebeschichtung 15 und an diese etwa angrenzend befindet sich auf der Taschenrückwand 3 eine streifenförmige Antihaftbeschichtung 17. Aus den Figuren 1, 5 und 7 ist deutlich zu erkennen, daß diese Antihaftbeschichtung die Verbindungsrandstreifen 18, in deren Bereich Vorderwand 2 und Rückwand 3 miteinander fest verbunden sind, überdeckt.A further adhesive coating 15 is applied to the back of the bag 3 parallel to the upper edge 12 of the back wall 3 of the bag, which in turn is covered with a protective strip 16, which is also shown partially removed in FIG. 1. In parallel to this adhesive coating 15 and approximately adjoining it, there is a strip-shaped anti on the pocket rear wall 3 adhesive coating 17. It can be clearly seen from FIGS. 1, 5 and 7 that this non-stick coating covers the connecting edge strips 18, in the area of which the front wall 2 and rear wall 3 are firmly connected to one another.

Versandtaschen, deren Verschlußklappe in der dargestellten Art ausgebildet sind, können wahlweise für Postsendungen mit dauerfestem Briefverschluß oder mit Drucksachen-Adhäsionsverschluß benutzt werden.Mailing bags, the flap of which is designed in the manner shown, can be used either for mail items with a permanent letter seal or with a printed matter adhesive seal.

Zur Bildung des Drucksachenverschlusses wird nach dem Füllen der Tasche der Schutzstreifen 10 von der Klebebeschichtung 9 abgezogen (während der Schutzstreifen 16 unverändert die Klebebeschichtung 15 abdeckt). Danach wird die Verschlußklappe 4 um die Umbuglinie 5 umgelegt, so daß die schutzstreifenfreie Klebebeschichtung 9 auf die Antihaftbeschichtung 17 auf der Taschenrückwand 3 zu liegen kommt. Sie haftet daran, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 zu sehen ist,.als Adhäsionsverschluß an, und die so verschlossene Drucksache kann zur postalischen Prüfung geöffnet und in der gleichen Weise, wie zuvor erläutert, wieder verschlossen werden. An geeigneter Stelle, zweckmäßig auf der Verschlußklappen-Außenfläche 8 in deren an die Endkante 6 angrenzendem Bereich 13 kann ein Hinweis auf die Möglichkeit des öffnens und Wiederverschliessens zwecks Drucksachen-Prüfung in an sich bekannter Weise angebracht sein.To form the printed matter seal, the protective strip 10 is removed from the adhesive coating 9 after the pocket has been filled (while the protective strip 16 continues to cover the adhesive coating 15). Then the flap 4 is folded around the fold line 5 so that the protective strip-free adhesive coating 9 comes to rest on the non-stick coating 17 on the rear wall 3 of the pocket. It adheres to it, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, as an adhesive seal, and the printed matter thus sealed can be opened for postal inspection and closed again in the same manner as previously explained. At a suitable point, expediently on the closure flap outer surface 8 in its area 13 adjoining the end edge 6, an indication of the possibility of opening and reclosing for the purpose of checking printed matter can be attached in a manner known per se.

Will man einen dauerfesten Briefverschluß herstellen, so wird zunächst wiederum der Schutzstreifen 10 von der Klebebeschichtung 9 (Fig. l) abgezogen bzw. die als Drucksachen-Tasche bereits benutzte Versandtasche wird geöffnet, so daß die Verschlußklappe 4 wieder in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Lage kommt. Dann wird die Verschlußklappe 4 um die Faltlinie 11 hälftig zu einer Doppelklappe umgelegt, wobei, wie aus den Fig. 5 und 6 zu ersehen ist, die Klebebeschichtung 9 des Bereichs 13 auf der Verschlußklappen-Innenseite 7 in deren Bereich 14 fest anhaftet. Danach wird von der Klebebeschichtung 15 auf der Taschenrückwand 3 der Schutzstreifen 16 entfernt, und anschließend wird die zwischenzeitlich doppellagig gefaltete Verschlußklappe um die Umbuglinie 5 auf die Taschenrückwand aufgelegt. Sie kommt dabei mit ihrer Außenfläche 8 in deren Bereich 13 gegen die schutzstreifenfreie Klebebeschichtung 15 zu liegen, woran sie fest anhaftet, wie aus Fig. 8 zu sehen ist. Der verschlossene Briefverschluß hat das in Fig. 7 gezeigte Aussehen; an den Festverschluß grenzt auf der Taschenrückwand die (für den Festverschluß nicht funktionserforderliche) Antihaftbeschichtung 17 an. Da diese Antihaftbeschichtung üblicherweise aus einer durchsichtigen, farblosen Kunststoff-Folienauflage besteht, ist sie kaum sichtbar und stört nicht.If you want to produce a permanent letter seal, the protective strip 10 is first removed from the adhesive coating 9 (FIG. 1) or the mailing bag already used as a printed matter bag is opened, so that the closure flap 4 is again shown in FIG. 1 Location is coming. Then the flap 4 around the fold Line 11 folded in half into a double flap, whereby, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, the adhesive coating 9 of the area 13 adheres firmly to the inside of the closure flap 7 in its area 14. Thereafter, the protective strip 16 is removed from the adhesive coating 15 on the back wall 3 of the bag, and then the flap, which has in the meantime been folded in two layers, is placed around the fold line 5 on the back wall of the bag. It comes with its outer surface 8 in its area 13 to lie against the protective strip-free adhesive coating 15, to which it adheres firmly, as can be seen from FIG. 8. The closed letter seal has the appearance shown in Fig. 7; the non-stick coating 17 adjoins the fixed closure on the rear wall of the pocket (functionally not required for the fixed closure). Since this non-stick coating usually consists of a transparent, colorless plastic film overlay, it is hardly visible and does not interfere.

Das öffnen des Brieffestverschlusses ist, da die Verschlußklappe für den Festverschluß doppellagig gefaltet ist, sehr einfach; man kann mit jedem beliebigem entsprechenden Werkzeug, insbesondere einem Brieföffner, leicht in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Doppellagen hineinfahren und den Verschluß entweder an der Umbuglinie 5 oder an der Faltlinie 11 auftrennen. Man kann zur Erleichterung des Auftrennvorganges die Klebebeschichtung 9 zu den äußeren Längskanten hin schmäler werdend auftragen; man kann die S_eitenkanten der Verschlußklappe abrunden oder sonstige dem Fachmann bekannte Maßnahmen dieser Art vorsehen. Man kann außerdem in an sich bekannter Weise die Umbuglinie 5 und/oder die Faltlinie 11 perforiert oder in sonstiger Weise den Trennvorgang erleichternd vorbereiten.Opening the letter fastener is very easy since the flap for the fixed fastener is folded in two layers; one can easily drive into the space between the double layers with any suitable tool, in particular a letter opener, and open the closure either at the fold line 5 or at the fold line 11. You can apply the adhesive coating 9 towards the outer longitudinal edges narrowing to facilitate the separation process; one can round off the side edges of the closure flap or provide other measures of this type known to the person skilled in the art. In addition, in a manner known per se, the folding line 5 and / or the folding line 11 can be perforated or in some other way the preparation process can be made easier.

Die Klebebeschichtungen können für diese Zwecke bekannte und üb-liche Klebestreifen sein, und deren Abdeckungen können zum Beispiel aus silikonisiertem Papier bestehen. Zwecks Klebstoff-Einsparung können die Klebebeschichtungen auch gleichmäßig über die Klebebereiche angeordnete punktuelle Klebstoffzonen sein. Die Klebebeschichtung 15 kann gewünschtenfalls auch ein Naßkleber sein, der zur Bildung des dauerfesten Briefverschlusses durch Feuchtigkeit zu aktivieren ist.The adhesive coatings can be known and customary adhesive strips for these purposes, and their covers can consist, for example, of siliconized paper. In order to save adhesive, the adhesive coatings can also be punctual adhesive zones arranged evenly over the adhesive areas. If desired, the adhesive coating 15 can also be a wet adhesive, which is to be activated by moisture in order to form the permanent seal.
