Description

Die Erfindung geht von der DE-BI-3 021 989 aus. Darin ist eine Versandtasche beschrieben, die auf einem Teilbereich ihrer Verschlußklappe, und zwar randseitig gelegen, auf dem an der Unterkante angrenzenden Teilbereich, bezogen auf die Gesamtfläche der Verschlußklappe, zwei gesonderte und gesondert zu betätigende Klebebeschichtungen aufweist, die auf der Außenseite der Verschlußklappe liegen. Diese Teilbereiche mit den dort als « Gummierungen » bezeichneten Klebebeschichtungen sind umlegbar, und dafür sind zwei Falzlinien auf der Verschlußklappe vorhanden. Auf der Versandtaschenrückwand können ebenfalls zwei Klebebeschichtungen vorhanden sein, die die Adhäsion der Klebebeschichtungen auf der Verschlußklappe verstärken. Bei dieser bekannten Versandtasche handelt es sich um eine solche mit zwei nacheinander zur Wirkung zu bringenden Festverschlüssen. Derartige Behältnisse haben nicht einen üblichen Drucksachen-Verschluß, der sich beliebig oft öffnen und schliessen läßt, ohne daß Materialbeschädigung auftritt. Sie sind vielmehr so konstruiert, daß sich zwei Festverschlüsse nacheinander bilden lassen, wobei beim Öffnen des ersten Festverschlusses das Versandtaschenmaterial an dieser Öffnungsstelle teilweise zerstört wird. Unabhängig von zerstörtem Restmaterial wird anschließend der zweite Festverschluß angebracht.The invention is based on DE-BI-3 021 989. This describes a mailing bag that has two separate and separately operable adhesive coatings on the outside of the closure flap on a partial area of its closure flap, namely on the edge, on the partial area adjacent to the lower edge, based on the total area of the closure flap. These sub-areas with the adhesive coatings referred to there as "rubber coatings" can be folded over, and there are two fold lines on the flap for this purpose. There may also be two adhesive coatings on the rear wall of the mailing envelope, which increase the adhesion of the adhesive coatings on the closure flap. This known mailing bag is one with two fixed closures to be brought into effect one after the other. Such containers do not have a conventional printed matter closure, which can be opened and closed as often as required without material damage occurring. Rather, they are constructed in such a way that two fixed closures can be formed one after the other, the mailing material being partially destroyed at this opening point when the first fixed closure is opened. The second fixed closure is then attached regardless of the destroyed residual material.

Die Handhabung dieser bekannten Versandtaschen-Konstruktion ist die folgende : Nach dem Einfüllen des Versandgutes in die Versandtasche wird als erstes der Endstreifen der Verschlußklappe um die Falzlinie umgelegt, und dann wird mit Hilfe der entsprechenden Gummierung mit der Taschenrückwand der erste Festverschluß hergestellt. Nach erfolgter Versendung wird dieser erste Festverschluß in üblicher Weise mit einem geeigneten Schneidwerkzeug geöffnet, wobei das Material der Verschlußklappe im Bereich der ersten Falzlinie mehr oder weniger zerstört wird und auf der Taschenrückwand die Verklebung mit dem Endstreifen als Materialrest haften bleibt. Für das Wiederverschliessen der geöffneten Versandtasche wird der zweite Festverschluß gebildet durch Umlegen des entsprechenden zweiten Streifens um die zweite Falzlinie und Verkleben der dazu gehörenden Gummierung mit der Taschenrückwand. Der zweite Festverschluß wird also in der gleichen Weise gebildet wie der erste Festverschluß : Jeweils eine von zwei insgesamt vorhandenen Klebebeschichtungen auf der Verschlußklappe wird gesondert festverklebt mit der Taschenrückwand. Und jeweils muß der Verschluß zum Öffnen der Versandtasche aufgeschnitten oder aufgerissen. auf jeden Fall durch Materialzerstörung getrennt werden.The handling of this known mailer bag construction is as follows: after the goods have been filled into the mailer bag, the end flap of the closure flap is first folded around the fold line, and then the first fixed fastener is produced with the appropriate rubber coating with the bag rear wall. After dispatch, this first fixed closure is opened in the usual manner with a suitable cutting tool, the material of the closure flap being more or less destroyed in the region of the first fold line and the adhesive with the end strip remaining as material residue adhering to the rear wall of the pocket. To reclose the opened mailing envelope, the second fixed closure is formed by folding the corresponding second strip around the second fold line and gluing the associated rubber coating to the back wall of the envelope. The second fixed closure is thus formed in the same way as the first fixed closure: in each case one of two adhesive coatings in total on the closure flap is firmly glued to the rear wall of the pocket. And each time the closure has to be cut open or opened. definitely be separated by material destruction.

Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, 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 gleicher Weise gut gehalten und geschützt ist, und für deren Herstellung gewünschtenfalls nur eine Art von Klebebeschichtung benötigt wird.The invention is based on the object to provide a mailing bag, which can consist of any known material, the closure of which is easy and safe to use both as a pressure-sensitive adhesive closure and as a permanent closed-type closure, and in which the shipping goods present therein the two types of closures are well held and protected in the same way, and only one type of adhesive coating is required for their manufacture, if desired.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung aus von einer Versandtasche mit an der Vorderwand ansitzender, um eine Umbuglinie auf die Rückwand umlegbarer und durch Klebebeschichtung daran festlegbarer Verschlußklappe und sieht erfindungsgemäß 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 achieve this object, the invention is based on a mailing bag with a closure flap that sits on the front wall, can be folded around a folding line on the rear wall and can be fixed by adhesive coating, and, according to the invention, provides the design features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 and 3 further advantageous and beneficial further developments are claimed for the solution to the problem, 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 Verschlußklappen-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. 1In FIG. 1, the inner flap 7 of the flap is shown facing the viewer, while in the illustration in FIG. 3 the viewer looks at the outer side 8 of the flap. A fold line 11 is attached to the closure flap 4 parallel to the fold line 5 and the end edge 6 and divides the closure flap into two regions 13 and 14 which are approximately of the same size and are 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. that in Fig. 1

mit einem Schutzstreifen 10 überdeckt gezeigt ist, der teilweise abgezogen dargestellt ist.is shown covered with a protective strip 10, which is shown partially deducted.

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 deducted in FIG. 1. In parallel to this adhesive coating 15 and approximately adjacent to it, there is a strip-shaped non-stick coating 17 on the pocket rear wall 3. From FIGS. 1, 5 and 7 it can clearly be seen that this non-stick coating connects the connecting edge strips 18, in the area of which the front wall 2 and rear wall 3 are connected to one another are firmly connected, covered.

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 explained above. 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. 1) 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 Verschlußkiappe 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 funktionserforderiiche) 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 closure flap 4 is folded in half around the fold line 11 into a double flap, the adhesive coating 9 of the area 13 adhering firmly to the inside of the closure flap 7 in its area 14, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6. Thereafter, the protective strip 16 is removed from the adhesive coating 15 on the pocket rear wall 3, and then the flap, which has meanwhile been folded in two layers, is placed around the fold line 5 on the pocket rear wall. It comes to rest with its outer surface 8 in its area 13 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 Seitenkanten 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.The opening of the letter fastener is very easy since the flap for the fixed closure 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.
