Abstract

A letter form, which serves as both letter and window envelope, wherein the address is reverse printed on the inside of the window cover film and does not dictate the arrangement and design of the printed text of the letter form and wherein the address is readable when inserts are included. Preparation of the letter form advantageously includes printing of text and address concurrently.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Briefformulares gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 sowie ein Briefformular gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 6.The present invention relates to a method for producing a letter form according to the preamble of claim 1 and a letter form according to the preamble of claim 6.

Briefformulare dieser Art, welche aus einem Bogen bestehen, der durch ein Blatt oder mehrere aufeinanderliegende und miteinander verbundene Blätter gebildet werden kann, sind z.B. aus der CH-A 609.634 und der US-A 3,482,780 bekannt. Bei solchen Briefformularen wird die Innenseite des Bogens mit einer Information sowie einer Versandadresse bedruckt. Anschliessend wird der Bogen ein- oder zweimal gefaltet und die zwei bzw. drei Bogenteile werden entlang ihres Randes miteinander verklebt. Die Beschriftung auf der Innenseite des Bogens wird dabei mit Ausnahme der Zustelladresse abgedeckt. Letztere ist durch ein Fenster hindurch sichtbar. Das sich auf dem einen Bogenteil befindliche Adressfeld mit der Adresse des Empfängers und das an einem andern Bogenteil vorzusehende Fenster müssen daher derart angeordnet werden, dass sie bei gefaltetem Bogen einander gegenüberliegen. Das hat zur Folge, dass man in der Wahl der Anordnung von Adressfeld und Fenster nicht frei ist, vor allem dann nicht, wenn durch bestehende Vorschriften der Ort festgelegt ist, an welchem bei einem Brief die Zustelladresse zu erscheinen hat.Letter forms of this type, which consist of a sheet which can be formed by one sheet or a plurality of sheets lying one on top of the other and connected to one another, are known, for example, from CH-A 609,634 and US-A 3,482,780. With such letter forms, the inside of the sheet is printed with information and a shipping address. The sheet is then folded once or twice and the two or three sheet parts are glued together along their edge. The labeling on the inside of the sheet is covered with the exception of the delivery address. The latter is visible through a window. The address field on one sheet part with the address of the recipient and the window to be provided on another sheet part must therefore be arranged in such a way that they are opposite one another when the sheet is folded. The consequence of this is that you are not free to choose the arrangement of the address field and window, especially if the place where the delivery address has to appear for a letter is specified by existing regulations.

Im weiteren haben diese bekannten zweiteiligen Briefformulare den Nachteil, dass zwischen die gefalteten Bogenhälften keine Beilage eingelegt werden kann, da eine solche das Adressfeld abdecken würde, es sei denn, die Beilage wäre so klein, dass sie das Adressfeld nicht zu überdecken vermag und die Beilage würde zudem fixiert, damit sie nicht vor das Adressfeld rutschen kann.Furthermore, these known two-part letter forms have the disadvantage that no insert can be inserted between the folded halves of the sheet, since one would cover the address field unless the insert was so small that it was unable to cover the address field and the insert would also be fixed so that it cannot slip in front of the address field.

Beim aus der EP-A-0 138 413 bekannten Briefformular ist in der einen Formularhälfte ein rechteckförmiger Adressenteil vorgesehen, der entlang einer Längsseite auf die Rückseite des Formularbogens zurückklappbar ist und mittels einer auf die Rückseite des Formularbogens anklebbaren Haltefolie in der Normalstellung gehalten ist, in der der Adressteil in der Ebene des Formularbogens liegt.In the letter form known from EP-A-0 138 413, a rectangular address part is provided in one half of the form, which can be folded back along a long side onto the back of the form sheet and is held in the normal position by means of a holding film which can be glued to the back of the form sheet which the address part is on the level of the form sheet.

Der Adressteil wird für seine Beschriftung zurückgeklappt, was es ermöglicht, den Adressteil und die Rückseite, d.h. die innenliegende Seite des Formularbogens im gleichen Druckvorgang zu beschriften. Nach der Beschriftung wird der Adressteil wieder zurückgeklappt, so dass die Beschriftung auf die-aussenliegende Seite des Formularbogens zu liegen kommt. Zwischen die Hälften des gefalteten Formularbogens eingelegte Beilagen können zwar die Beschriftung des Adressteils nicht abdecken, dafür ist für das Beschriften und anschliessende Verschliessen des Formularbogens ein gewisser Aufwand erforderlich.The address part is folded back for its labeling, which enables the address part and the back, i.e. to label the inside of the form sheet in the same printing process. After the inscription, the address part is folded back so that the inscription comes to rest on the outside of the form sheet. Supplements inserted between the halves of the folded form sheet cannot cover the labeling of the address section, but a certain amount of effort is required for labeling and then closing the form sheet.

Aus der US-A-3 550 841 ist ein sich von den vorstehend beschriebenen Briefformularen unterscheidender Umschlag bekannt, bei dem eine separate Tasche zur Aufnahme einer Adresskarte vorhanden ist. Das Fenster dieser Tasche ist mittels einer durchsichtigen Abdeckung abgedeckt, durch die die auf die Adresskarte aufgedruckte Adresse sichtbar ist. Hinter dieser Tasche befindet sich eine weitere Tasche, die zur Aufnahme des zu versendenden bedruckten Informationsträgers dient.From US-A-3 550 841 an envelope is known which differs from the letter forms described above, in which there is a separate pocket for receiving an address card. The window of this bag is covered by a transparent cover through which the address printed on the address card is visible. Behind this pocket there is another pocket which is used to hold the printed information carrier to be sent.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das auf einfache Weise die Herstellung von Briefformularen erlaubt, bei denen eine grössere Freiheit bei der Anordnung von Adressfeld und Fenster besteht als bei bekannten Briefformularen und bei denen die Gefahr eines ungewollten Abdeckens der Zustelladresse durch eingelegte Beilagen nicht besteht.The present invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, which allows the production of letter forms in a simple manner, in which there is greater freedom in the arrangement of the address field and window than in known letter forms and where there is a risk there is no unintentional covering of the delivery address by inserted inserts.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ein solches Briefformular zeichnet sich durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 6 aus.Such a letter form is characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 6.

Da erfindungsgemäss die Zustelladresse bzw. die Information über den Empfänger nicht mehr auf den einen Bogenteil, sondern auf die Hinterseite des Fensters gedruckt wird und somit das Adressfeld auf die Rückseite des Fensters zu liegen kommt, kann das Vorsehen eines Adressfeldes an einem andern Bogenteil entfallen. Das Adressfeld ist somit nicht mehr bestimmend für die Anordnung der auf der Innenseite des Bogens aufzudruckenden Information.Since, according to the invention, the delivery address or the information about the recipient is no longer printed on one sheet part, but on the back of the window and the address field thus lies on the back of the window, the provision of an address field on another sheet part can be omitted. The address field is therefore no longer decisive for the arrangement of the information to be printed on the inside of the sheet.

Im weitern kann das Fenster an irgendeiner geeigneten bzw. an der vorgeschriebenen Stelle angeordnet werden, ohne dass das ins Gewicht fallende Konsequenzen für die Anordnung und Ausgestaltung der auf der Innenseite des Bogens aufzubringenden Bedruckung (Text, Tabellen und dergleichen) hat. Die Zustelladresse bzw. die Empfängeridentifikation kann durch eingelegte Beilagen nicht abgedeckt werden.Furthermore, the window can be arranged at any suitable or the prescribed location without this having any significant consequences for the arrangement and design of the printing (text, tables and the like) to be applied to the inside of the sheet. The delivery address or recipient identification cannot be covered by inserts.

Durch das Aufbringen der Zustelladresse bzw. der Empfängeridentifikation auf der Hinterseite des Fensters in Spiegelschrift wird sichergestellt, dass das Schriftbild von der Vorderseite des Fensters her in gewöhnlicher Schrift erscheint und daher mühelos gelesen werden kann.By affixing the delivery address or the recipient identification to the back of the window in mirror writing, it is ensured that the typeface appears in the usual font from the front of the window and can therefore be read effortlessly.

Bevorzugte Weiterausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.Preferred further developments of the subject matter of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Im folgenden wird anhand der Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes beschrieben. Es zeigt rein schematisch:

Das in den Figuren dargestellte Briefformular 1 besteht aus einem Bogen 2, dessen Innenseite mit 2a und dessen Aussenseite mit 2b bezeichnet ist. Der Bogen 2 besteht aus zwei Hälften 3 und 4, welche durch eine querverlaufende Falzlinie 5 getrennt sind. Beide Bogenhälften 3, 4 sind an den Seitenrändern 6, 7 mit eine Transportlochung aufweisenden Randstreifen 8, 9 versehen (Fig. 1). Diese Randstreifen 8, 9 lassen sich entlang von Trennlinien 10, 11 abtrennen. In einem Abstand von den Seitenrändern 6, und 7 sowie 12 und 13 verläuft eine umlaufende Trennlinie 14. Letztere legt mit den Seitenrändern 6, 7, 12, 13 einen umlaufenden Randabschnitt 15 fest. Der sich auf der Bogenhälfte 3 befindliche Teil des Randabschnittes 15 trägt einen Klebstoffstreifen 16.The letter form 1 shown in the figures consists of a sheet 2, the inside of which is labeled 2a and the outside of which is labeled 2b. The sheet 2 consists of two halves 3 and 4, which are separated by a transverse fold line 5. Both sheet halves 3, 4 are provided on the side edges 6, 7 with edge strips 8, 9 having transport perforations (FIG. 1). These edge strips 8, 9 can be separated along dividing lines 10, 11. A circumferential dividing line 14 runs at a distance from the side edges 6 and 7 as well as 12 and 13. The latter defines with the side edges 6, 7, 12 and 13 a circumferential edge section 15. The part of the edge section 15 located on the arch half 3 carries an adhesive strip 16.

Die Bogenhälfte 4 ist mit einem Adressfenster 17 versehen, das durch eine Oeffnung 18 in der Bogenhälfte 4 gebildet ist. Diese Oeffnung 18 ist mittels einer Abdeckfolie 19 abgedeckt, deren Rückseite 19a und deren Vorderseite mit 19b bezeichnet ist. Auf die Rückseite 19a der Abdeckfolie 19 ist in Spiegelschrift, d.h. in einer seitenverkehrten Schrift, bei der rechts und links vertauscht sind, eine Zustelladresse 20 aufgebracht, wie das aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist. Die Innenseite 2a des Bogens 2 ist im ausserhalb des Fenster 17 liegenden Bereich mit einer Bedruckung 21, z.B. einem Text, Zahlen, Tabellen und dergleichen, versehen. Dabei muss auf der Bogenhälfte 3 kein Adressfeld vorgesehen werden, da sich dieses ja auf der Hinterseite 19a des Fensters 17 befindet.The arch half 4 is provided with an address window 17 which is formed by an opening 18 in the arch half 4. This opening 18 is covered by a cover sheet 19, the back 19a and the front is designated 19b. A delivery address 20 is applied to the rear side 19a of the cover film 19 in mirror writing, ie in a page reversed text in which the right and left are interchanged, as can be seen from FIG. 1. The inside 2a of the sheet 2 is provided with a print 21, for example a text, numbers, tables and the like, in the area lying outside the window 17. There is no need to provide an address field on the arch half 3, since this is located on the rear side 19a of the window 17.

Die Herstellung des vorstehend erläuterten Briefformulares 1 geht wie folgt vor sich.The production of the letter form 1 explained above proceeds as follows.

In einem elektronisch gesteuerten Drucker, z.B. einem Laser- oder Tintenstrahldrucker, wird der ungefaltete Bogen, der auf der Aussenseite 2b und zum Teil auch auf der Innenseite 2a bereits vorbedruckt sein kann, auf seiner Innenseite 2a mit der Bedruckung 21 versehen. Zudem wird auf die Rückseite der Abdeckfolie 19a, d.h. auf das Fenster 17, die Zustelladresse 20 in Spiegelschrift aufgebracht. Nach erfolgter Bedruckung werden die gelochten Randstreifen 8, 9 weggetrennt. Anschliessend wird der Bogen 2 entlang der Faltlinie 5 gefaltet. Zwischen die aufeinandergefalteten Bogenhälften 3, 4 kann eine Beilage 22 eingelegt werden, wie das in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist. Mittels des aufgetragenen Klebstoffstreifens 16 werden die beiden Bogenhälften 3, 4 entlang ihrer Seitenränder 6, 7, 12, 13 miteinander verklebt. In Fig. 3 ist das verschlossene und zum Verand bereite Briefformular 1 dargestellt.In an electronically controlled printer, e.g. a laser or inkjet printer, the unfolded sheet, which may already be pre-printed on the outside 2b and partly also on the inside 2a, is provided with the printing 21 on its inside 2a. In addition, on the back of the cover sheet 19a, i.e. on the window 17, the delivery address 20 applied in mirror writing. After printing, the perforated edge strips 8, 9 are separated. The sheet 2 is then folded along the fold line 5. An insert 22 can be inserted between the folded sheet halves 3, 4, as shown in FIG. 2. By means of the applied adhesive strip 16, the two sheet halves 3, 4 are glued together along their side edges 6, 7, 12, 13. In Fig. 3 the closed and ready for verand letter form 1 is shown.

Wie die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen, ist die vorgängig in Spiegelschrift auf die Rückseite 19a der Abdeckfolie 19 aufgebrachte Zustelladresse 20 von der Vorderseite 19b der Abdeckfolie 19 her gesehen richtig, d.h. nicht mehr seitenverkehrt. Die hinter dem Fenster 17 liegende Beilage 22 verdeckt die Zustelladresse 20 nicht. Bei aufeinandergefalteten Bogenhälften 3, 4 ist die Beschriftung 21 abgedeckt und von aussen her nicht einsehbar.As FIGS. 2 and 3 show, the delivery address 20 previously applied in mirror writing to the back 19a of the cover film 19 is correct when viewed from the front 19b of the cover film 19, i.e. no longer reversed. The insert 22 behind the window 17 does not cover the delivery address 20. When the sheet halves 3, 4 are folded onto one another, the inscription 21 is covered and cannot be seen from the outside.

Zum Oeffnen des verschlossenene Briefformulares 1 wird der Randabschnitt 15 entlang der Trennlinie 14 abgetrennt.In order to open the closed letter form 1, the edge section 15 is separated along the dividing line 14.

Die Abdeckfolie 19 kann durchsichtig oder undurchsichtig, z.B. milchig sein, wobei sie jedoch auch im letztgenannten Fall die aufgebrachte Zustelladresse 20 erkennen lässt. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Abdeckfolie 19 beim Bedrucken an denjenigen Stellen, an denen die Zustelladresse 20 aufgedruckt wird, durchsichtig bzw. durchscheinend wird.The cover sheet 19 can be transparent or opaque, e.g. be milky, although in the latter case it also shows the delivery address 20 applied. This can be achieved, for example, by the cover film 19 becoming transparent or translucent when printed at those locations where the delivery address 20 is printed.

Es versteht sich, dass das anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 erläuterte Aufbringen der Zustelladresse 20 in Spiegelschrift auf die Rückseite der Abdeckfolie 19 auch bei Briefformularen möglich ist, welche zweimal gefaltet werden.It goes without saying that the application of the delivery address 20 in mirror writing to the back of the cover film 19, which is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, is also possible with letter forms which are folded twice.

Bei einem Briefformular 101 dieser Art (Fig. 4) weist der Bogen 102 zwei in einem Abstand voneinander verlaufende Falzlinien 103, 104 auf, durch die der Bogen 102 in drei Abschnitte 105, 106, 107 unterteilt wird, nämlich einen mittleren Teil 106 und zwei äussere Teile 105, 107. Das Fenster 17 mit der Zustelladresse 20, welche in Spiegelschrift auf die Rückseite der Abdeckfolie 19 des Fensters 17 aufgebracht ist, wird dabei in einem der äusseren Teile 107 angeordnet. Der Bogen 102 wird nun so gefaltet, dass der Bogenteil 107 mit dem Fenster 17 über den andern äussern Bogenteil 105, gelegt wird, so dass das Fenster 17 auf die unbeschriftete Rückseite 105a dieses andern äussern Bogenteils 105 zu liegen kommt. Die Bogenteile 105, 106, 107 werden entlang ihrer Seitenränder miteinander verklebt.In a letter form 101 of this type (FIG. 4), the sheet 102 has two fold lines 103, 104 which run at a distance from one another and by which the sheet 102 is divided into three sections 105, 106, 107, namely a central part 106 and two Outer parts 105, 107. The window 17 with the delivery address 20, which is applied in mirror writing on the back of the cover sheet 19 of the window 17, is arranged in one of the outer parts 107. The sheet 102 is now folded so that the sheet part 107 with the window 17 is placed over the other outer sheet part 105, so that the window 17 comes to rest on the unlabeled rear side 105a of this other outer sheet part 105. The sheet parts 105, 106, 107 are glued together along their side edges.

Der Bogen 2, 102 kann aus einem Blatt oder mehreren aufeinanderliegenden, miteinander verbundenen Blättern bestehen.The sheet 2, 102 can consist of one sheet or a plurality of sheets lying one on top of the other and joined together.
