Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a folder, in particular a folder for the loose storage of documents.
- Folders for retaining loose documents are known but are usually in a preassembled condition when supplied to the user. Accordingly such folders take up a large amount of storage space which is undesirable particularly in an office where space is limited.
- In addition, for presentation purposes, it is desirable for folders to have a maximum of flat space on which printing may be performed. Accordingly the use of glue lines, rivet holes etc used in prior art constructions for assembling a folder are undesirable as such use restricts the available space for printing.
- The present invention aims to reduce the above drawbacks and also provide other advantages.
- According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a blank for a folder which can be folded into an erected folder without the need for separate fixing means.
- The blank is preferably formed so that the folder in its assembled condition includes a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, and a bottom wall and preferably further includes a top wall hingedly connected to the rear wall for permitting or restricting access to the interior of the folder. The bottom wall is preferably hingedly connected along one side to a bottom side of the rear panel and is hingedly connected along its opposite side to the front panel. Each side wall is preferably hingedly connected along one side to a side of the rear wall and is attached by an integral latch formation to the front wall. It is envisaged that the side walls may alternatively be hingedly attached to the front wall and be attached to the rear wall by an integral latch formation.
- The integral latch formation is preferably maintained in an engaged condition by outward bias of the sidewalls which is created by the inherent resilence of the sheet material when folding the blank and also created by the weight of documents contained within the erected folders.
- According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a folder formed from a blank as defined above.
- Various aspects of the present invention are hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
- Figure l is a schematic perspective view of a folder according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a plan view of a blank suitable for forming the folder illustrated in Figure l.
- The folder illustrated in Figure l includes a rear wall ll, a front wall l2, a pair of side walls l4, l6 respectively, a bottom wall l8, a
top wall 20 and aclosure flap 22 attached to thetop wall 20. The upper sides of the rear, front and side walls define amouth 24 which provides access into the interior of the folder. Themouth 24 is conveniently enlarged as shown by forming arecess 25 in the upper portion of the front wall l2. - The
flap 22 is provided with one part of acatch 28 and the front wall l2 is provided with a co-operating part of thecatch 28 so that thetop wall 20 andflap 22 may be moved to close themouth 24 and be releasably retained in that position. Thecatch 28 may be of any conventional construction, but is preferably of a type that can be readily attached manually. If desired more than onecatch 28 may be provided. - The blank 3 for forming the folder of Figure l is shown in Figure 2 and is conveniently formed in a single operation from a suitable sheet material. Suitable sheet materials include plastics sheet such as polypropylene of say a thickness between 0.5 mm to l.5 mm or card which may be laminated with a plastics film on one or both sides of the card.
- In forming the blank, the blank is cut and is provided with various fold lines FL to define the following, a rear
wall forming panel 40, a pair of side wall forming panels 42, 43 respectively, a bottomwall forming panel 46, a main frontwall forming panel 48, a topwall forming panel 50, a closureflap forming panel 52,sidewall attachment panels co-operating latch formations reinforcement tabs 58. - The
attachment panels latch formation 56 in the form of aslit 60 having inwardly directedend portions 62 which define a tab receiving opening. The mainfront wall panel 48 is provided with alatch formation 57 in the form of atab 65 which is defined by a 'U'shaped slit 66. - To erect a folder from the blank 30, the
tabs 58 are folded toward the attached sidewall forming panel 42, 43 respectively, the sidewall forming panels 42, 43 are then folded toward therear wall panel 40, and theattachment panels - The
bottom wall panel 46 and mainfront wall panel 48 are folded toward therear wall panel 40 to thereby overlap the foldedattachment panels - The
tabs 65 are then introduced through the tab receiving opening in theunderlying attachment panel - Formation of at least the fold lines defining the sidewalls and
attachment panels - Accordingly, as seen in Figure l, sidewalls l4, l6 are biased outwardly and so urge the
latch formations latch formations - If desired, the area around the
formations - It will be appreciated that the folders of the present invention may be stored in a flat condition, which minimises the amount of storage space required, and that a folder is simply and quickly erected when required. The blank is also preferably provided with
apertures 70 to enable the catch means to be attached in the correct position. Such catch means can be conveniently stored separately and attached to the blank prior to erection. - The front wall l2 is preferably formed as illustrated in Figure l, namely from a
main panel 48 and the upper portions ofattachment panels latch formations front panel 48 and yet at an intermediate position between the ends of each side wall. - It is envisaged that the side wall and associated attachment panel for each side wall may be attached to the
front panel 48. - The material chosen for blank should have sufficient stiffness to maintain reasonable rigidity in the side walls and bottom wall to restrain collapse of the folder.
- The
reinforcement tabs 58 serve to restrain collapse of the folder at the bottom corners thereof. - If necessary, the
tabs 58 may be extended in length as illustrated in broken lines in Figure 2 so that in the erected folder theterminal end portions 58a of thetabs 58 overlap one another. The overlappingend portions 58a are provided with co-operating latch means, in the form ofslits 58b, to restrain longitudinal separation of thetabs 58. In this way the tabs not only serve to provide reinforvement for thebottom wall 46 but also act to restrain outward movement of the sidewalls 42, 43 at the bottom region thereof. - In view of the absence of fixing means for creating an erected folder large unimpeded surfaces are present on the folder which enable printing of promotional matter to be provided.
- It will be appreciated that the above construction of blanks also conveniently enables a variety of sizes of folders to be produced simply by altering the dimensions of the blanks during manufacture. In addition, particularly for larger folders it is envisaged thatthe top
wall forming panel 50 may be adapted, for instance by the provision of suitable apertures, for the attachment of a carrying handle. - It is also envisaged that a slim document folder may be formed by omitting the top, bottom and side
wall forming panels
