Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of sealing or likewise closing the opening of a pocket file or folder made of foil material, particularly plastic material, and containing one or two documents, each of which, subsequent to closing or sealing the file, shall have at least one surface of the edge-part thereof located nearest the opening in abutment with fastening means provides on the pocket file.
  • the invention also relates to a pocket file made of foil material, particularly plastic material, provided with a file-sealing means by means of which the method can be carried out, said file containing one or two documents, each of which, subsequent to closing or sealing the file, shall have at least one surface of that edge-part thereof which is located nearest the opening in abutment with fastener means provided on the file.
  • One method of storing documents with some modicum of safety is to pagenate the documents one and one, or two and two, in so-called pocket files made of foil material, which are then sealed in a safe and secure fashion, for instance with the aid of adhesive tape or with the aid of an appropriate heat-sealing method, so-called document sealing.
  • the file is provided with double-sealing tape fastened onto the inside of the file, adjacent the opening thereof, this tape being provided with a protective paper strip.
  • the protective paper is removed and the pocket opening is sealed, by pressing together the front and back sides of the pocket in the vicinity of the pocket opening.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple and rational method of enclosing a document or documents in pocket files in a safer and more secure fashion than has been impossible to achieve hitherto.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a sealed plastic-foil pocket file in accordance with a first embodiment
  • Figure 2a is a vertical section through the file illustrated in Figure 1 prior to sealing the file and with two documents placed therein;
  • Figure 2 illustrates a modification of the Figure 2a embodiment;
  • Figure 3 illustrates a modification of the Figure 1 embodiment, with a row of holes formed in the front side of the pocket file;
  • Figure 4a is an enlarged vertical sectional view through the pocket file shown in Figure 3, with two documents placed in said file; and
  • Figure 4b illustrates a modification of the Figure 4a embodiment.
  • the plastic-foil pocket file 1 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2a consists of two sheets of plastic foil 2 and 3, which have been cut in an appropriate manner from a web of weldable plastic foil and have been welded together along three edges thereof, such as to leave an opening 4 at the upper edge of the file.
  • a relatively broad margin 5 has been left at one side of the file, to enable the plastic pocket file to be bound with or likewise secured to a larger loose-leaf file or a book.
  • One side 2 of the pocket file for the sake of simplicity hereinafter referred to as the back side, is extended with a sealing flap 6, which may either be an integral part of the back side 2 or welded to said back side.
  • the flap 6 is folded double about a folding line 7, such as to form a back and a front part 6a and 6b respectively, and the inner surface of the flap is provided with a fastener material or coated with an adhesive 8, which is covered with a protective paper 9, this paper being removed prior to sealing the pocket file.
  • Two documents 11, 12 have been inserted into the pocket file 1, to an extent such that from 1 to 2 centimeters of the upper edges of the documents will project from the file.
  • the flap-part 6a and 6b are pressed against the interlying upper edge parts of the document 11, 12 and against the upper edge part of the front side 3 of the file, the opening 4 of the pocket file 1 being sealed at the same time as the document 11 is fastened to the flap-part 6a and the document 12 is fastened to the flap-part 6b, which is also fastened to the upper edge part of the front file-side 3.
  • These measures can be considered to seal the documents satisfactorily within the pocket file. Even though it was possible to loosen the flap-part 6b successfully from the front file-side 3 without damaging the flap, it is highly probable that the document 12 would be damaged when attempting to loosen the flap-part 6b from said document. The same applies to the document 11, when an attempt is made to loosen the document from the flap-part 6a so as to enable the document to be withdrawn from the pocket file 1.
  • the documents 11, 12 can be displaced mutually prior to sealing the file, as shown in Figure 2b.
  • both documents 11, 12 will adhere to the flap-part 6b and thus both documents will be damaged if an attempt is made to loosen the flap-part 6b from the front side 3.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of an inventive pocket file, in which a row of holes 15 are provided along the upper edge part of the front side 3 of the file.
  • these holes are shown to be circular, it will be understood that they may have any appropriate shape, for instance a rectangular shape. It is important, however, that the holes 15 are formed close together, such as to form narrow intermediate tongues 16. This enables the flap-part 6b to be stuck to a wide surface on the front side 3 of the file, while fastening material on the flap-part 6b is able to reach and contact an inwardly lying document, through the holes 15.
  • This embodiment makes it particularly difficult to separate the flap-part 6b from the front side 3 of the file, without damaging the front side 3.
  • the documents 11, 12 may be mutually displaced slightly, so that both parts of the document are exposed in the holes 15, as illustrated in Figure 4a.
  • the flap-part 6b When separating the flap-part 6b from the front side 3 and the documents 11, 12, characteristic semi-circular defects will be formed on both documents.
  • the width of the tongues 16 is adapted such that the mechanical strength of the tongues is insufficient to permit loosening of the flap-part 6b adhered to the front side 3 of the pocket file without at least one, and preferably most of the tongues 16 being torn off. This results in irrepairable damage to the tongues 16, which makes it impossible to re-seal the file without showing clearly that the seal has been broken.
  • This feature can also be applied to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 4a.
  • FIG. 4b has a further security detail, which consists in folding the upper edge-part 17 of the back document 11 forwardly so that said edge-part will lie against the upper edge of the front document 12, opposite the holes 15.
  • the edge-part 17 of the document 11 will be torn up through the holes 15 and also up over the whole of the folded edge-part 17 along several tear lines, depending on which of the tongues 16 have been torn off.
