Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zum lösbaren Verbinden einer Visitenkarte mit einer Karteikarte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for releasably connecting a business card to a file card according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Praxis ist bekannt, abzulegende und einzusortierende Visitenkarten beispielsweise auf einer Karteikarte aufzukleben oder die Visitenkarten auf der Karteikarte anzuheften. Dazu wird im einen Fall beispielsweise ein Klebestift, im anderen Fall ein Hefter benötigt. Es ist ferner bekannt, Visitenkarten mittels Büroklammern mit Karteikarten zu verbinden. Auch in diesem Fall werden gesonderte Bürogegenstände benötigt.It is known from practice to stick business cards to be filed and to be sorted, for example, on an index card or to attach the business cards to the index card. In one case, for example, a glue stick is required, in the other case, a stapler. It is also known to connect business cards to index cards using paper clips. In this case too, separate office items are required.

Aus der Praxis sind ferner Schutzhüllen bekannt, in die jeweils eine Karteikarte vollständig einschiebbar ist. Die quer zur Einschieberichtung angeordneten seitlichen Endkanten jeder Schutzhülle sind offen ausgebildet, so daß die Karteikarte zusammen mit einer Visitenkarte auf einer Seite der Schutzhülle in diese eingesteckt und an der anderen Seite aus dieser herausgezogen werden kann. Nachteilig ist dabei, daß die aus einer Folie bestehende Schutzhülle die Karteikarte in allen Anwendungsfällen völlig umhüllt, so daß selbst in den Fällen, in denen eine Visitenkarte lediglich auf einer Seite einer Karteikarte abgelegt werden soll, eine Folie auch auf der anderen, gegenüberliegenden Seite der Karteikarte vorgesehen ist. Daraus resultiert ein erhöhter Materialverbrauch und Herstellungsaufwand. Im übrigen können die zwischen der Folie und der Karteikarte angeordneten Visitenkarten leicht verrutschen und wegen der zuvor erwähnten offenen Endkanten der Schutzhülle leicht aus dieser herausgleiten.Protective sleeves are also known from practice, into each of which an index card can be fully inserted. The lateral end edges of each protective cover, which are arranged transversely to the direction of insertion, are designed to be open, so that the index card, together with a business card, can be inserted into the protective cover on one side and pulled out of it on the other side. The disadvantage here is that the protective cover made of a film completely envelops the index card in all applications, so that even in cases in which a business card is only to be stored on one side of an index card, a film also on the other, opposite side of the card Index card is provided. This results in increased material consumption and manufacturing costs. Moreover, the business cards arranged between the film and the index card can slip easily and, due to the aforementioned open end edges of the protective cover, can easily slide out of the latter.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei der das Ablegen von Visitenkarten mit Hilfe von Karteikarten verbessert ist.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which the filing of business cards is improved with the help of index cards.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Einrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a device with the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhaft ist dabei vor allem, daß die Visitenkarte selbst an der Karteikarte oder der Folie anhaftet und dadurch unmittelbar oder mittelbar an einer Relativbewegung in bezug auf die Karteikarte gehindert ist. Dadurch ist die Visitenkarte in allen Betriebsfällen sicher an ihrem Platz gehalten und an einem Verrutschen oder Herausgleiten wirksam gehindert. Vorteilhaft ist ferner, daß die Folie ebenso wie die Mittel zum Haften der Folie an der Karteikarte nur auf der Seite der Karteikarte vorzusehen sind, auf der tatsächlich eine Visitenkarte abgelegt werden soll. Für den Fall, daß die Visitenkarte nur auf einer Seite der Karteikarte angeordnet ist, braucht deshalb die Folie auch nur diese Seite der Karteikarte zu bedecken; für den Fall, daß Vorder- und Rückseite der Karteikarte eine Visitenkarte aufnehmen sollen, weisen entsprechend beide Seiten der Karteikarte die Mittel zum Anhaften und die Folie auf. Folie und Mittel zum Anhaften werden also nur da eingesetzt, wo sie tatsächlich benötigt werden.The main advantage here is that the business card itself adheres to the index card or the film and is thus prevented directly or indirectly from a relative movement with respect to the index card. As a result, the business card is securely held in place in all operating cases and effectively prevented from slipping or sliding out. It is also advantageous that the film and the means for adhering the film to the index card are only to be provided on the side of the index card on which a business card is actually to be placed. In the event that the business card is only arranged on one side of the index card, the film therefore only needs to cover this side of the index card; in the event that the front and back of the index card should hold a business card, both sides of the index card accordingly have the means for adhering and the film. Foil and adhesive are only used where they are actually needed.

Vorteilhafterweise weisen die Mittel eine vorzugsweise durchsichtige Klebeschicht oder Gummierung auf und sind auf der zur Folie weisenden Seite der Karteikarte oder auf der zur Karteikarte weisenden Seite der Folie oder auf beiden vorgenannten Seiten aufgebracht. Dadurch ist zumindest in dem Fall, daß die Folie die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung aufweist, eine einfache Möglichkeit geschaffen, bereits existierende Visitenkarten mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung nachzurüsten. Eine spezielle Anpassung der Karteikarte an die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung ist in diesem Fall entbehrlich. Bereits vorhandene Karteikarten können also ohne weiteres als rutschfeste Ablage für Visitenkarten verwendet werden.Advantageously, the agents have a preferably transparent adhesive layer or rubber coating and are applied to the side of the index card facing the film or to the index card side of the film or to both of the above-mentioned sides. As a result, at least in the event that the film has the adhesive layer or rubber coating, a simple possibility is created for retrofitting existing business cards with the device according to the invention. A special adaptation of the index card to the device according to the invention is unnecessary in this case. Already existing index cards can easily be used as a non-slip tray for business cards.

Gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung in Form von voneinander beabstandeten Streifen ausgebildet. Vorteilhaft ist dabei, daß die Haftwirkung der Folie an der Karteikarte oder umgekehrt nur so hoch ist, wie dies für ein sicheres Halten der Visitenkarte relativ zur Karteikarte nötig ist. Im übrigen kann die Folie bei dieser Weiterbildung leicht, d.h. mit geringem Kraftaufwand, von der Karteikarte gelöst werden.According to another development of the invention, the adhesive layer or rubber coating is in the form of strips which are spaced apart from one another. It is advantageous here that the adhesive effect of the film on the index card or vice versa is only as high as is necessary for the business card to be held securely relative to the index card. Moreover, the film can be easily removed from the index card in this development, ie with little effort.

Bei einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung weisen einzelne Bereiche, vorzugsweise Randbereiche, der Karteikarte bzw. der Folie keine Klebeschicht oder Gummierung auf, wobei diese einzelnen Bereiche der Karteikarte vorzugsweise Ausnehmungen, Perforierungen o.dgl. aufweisen und nicht durch die Folie abgedeckt sind. Diese Weiterbildung ermöglicht zum einen ein leichtes Erfassen der Folie im Randbereich und damit ein einfaches Abziehen der Folie von der Karteikarte, zum anderen eine Materialersparnis, da die Folie lediglich in den Bereichen der Karteikarte angeordnet ist, in denen sich die Visitenkarte befindet.In another development of the invention, individual areas, preferably edge areas, of the index card or the film have no adhesive layer or rubber coating, these individual regions of the index card preferably having recesses, perforations or the like. have and are not covered by the film. On the one hand, this development enables the film to be gripped easily in the edge area and thus simply pulled off the film from the index card, and on the other hand it saves material since the film is only arranged in the areas of the index card in which the business card is located.

Vorteilhafterweise steht die Folie geringfügig über die Karteikarte vor, so daß sie zum Einlegen einer Visitenkarte zwischen Folie und Karteikarte leicht von letzterer abgezogen werden kann. Ein umständliches und zeitaufwendiges Verdrehen oder Umbiegen der Karteikarte mitsamt der Folie zum Einführen der Visitenkarte in den dabei entstehenden Spalt entfällt.Advantageously, the film protrudes slightly above the index card, so that it can be easily removed from the latter for inserting a business card between the film and index card. A cumbersome and time-consuming twisting or bending of the index card together with the film for inserting the business card into the resulting gap is eliminated.

Exemplary embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1
is a schematic plan view of a device for releasably connecting a business card with an index card;
Fig. 2
a schematically illustrated section along the line II-II in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3
a schematically illustrated section through another embodiment of the device.

Eine schematische Draufsicht auf eine Einrichtung 1 zum lösbaren Verbinden einer Visitenkarte 2 mit einer Karteikarte 3 ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt.A schematic plan view of a device 1 for releasably connecting a business card 2 to a file card 3 is shown in FIG. 1.

Die Karteikarte 3 ist ebenso wie die Visitenkarte 2 rechteckig ausgebildet, wobei die Länge und Breite der Visitenkarte 2 geringer als die entsprechenden Abmessungen der Karteikarte 3 sind.The index card 3, like the business card 2, is rectangular, the length and width of the business card 2 being less than the corresponding dimensions of the index card 3.

Gemäß Fig. 2 befindet sich auf der oberen Seite 4 der Karteikarte 3, d.h. auf der die Visitenkarte 2 aufnehmenden Seite, teilweise ein Mittel, mit dessen Hilfe eine die betreffende Seite der Karteikarte 3 und damit die Visitenkarte 2 abdeckende Folie 5 lösbar an der Karteikarte 3 haftet. Das vorgenannte Mittel ist insbesondere eine Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6, welche gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 in Form voneinander beabstandeter Streifen 7 auf einem Teil der oberen Seite 4 der Karteikarte 3 aufgebracht ist.According to FIG. 2, on the upper side 4 of the index card 3, ie on the side receiving the business card 2, there is partially a means by means of which a film 5 covering the relevant side of index card 3 and thus business card 2 is detachably attached to the index card 3 is liable. The aforementioned means is in particular an adhesive layer or rubber coating 6, which is in the form of one another according to FIGS. 1 and 2 spaced strip 7 is applied to part of the upper side 4 of the index card 3.

Der Querschnitt entlang der Linie II-II in Fig. 1 ist der besseren Übersicht halber in Fig. 2 stark vergrößert dargestellt. Gemäß diesem Querschnitt befindet sich die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 auf der in Fig. 2 linken Seite der Karteikarte 3. Auf die von der Karteikarte 3 wegweisenden Oberseite der Klebeschicht ist die Visitenkarte 2 aufgelegt. Aus Gründen der verbesserten Deutlichkeit ist die Folie 5 in Fig. 2 von der Klebeschicht 6 sowie von der Visitenkarte 2 beabstandet dargestellt; es ist klar, daß die Folie in der Praxis jedoch infolge der Adhäsionskräfte direkt an der Klebeschicht 6 bzw. an der Visiterkarte 2 anliegt, so daß die Visitenkarte rutschfest mit der Karteikarte verbunden ist.The cross section along the line II-II in Fig. 1 is shown greatly enlarged in Fig. 2 for the sake of clarity. According to this cross section, the adhesive layer or rubber coating 6 is located on the left side of the index card 3 in FIG. 2. The business card 2 is placed on the top side of the adhesive layer pointing away from index card 3. For reasons of improved clarity, the film 5 is shown in FIG. 2 at a distance from the adhesive layer 6 and from the business card 2; it is clear that, in practice, however, the film rests directly on the adhesive layer 6 or on the visitor card 2 as a result of the adhesive forces, so that the business card is non-slip connected to the file card.

Die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 ist derart ausgebildet, daß Visitenkarte 2 und Folie 5 unproblematisch davon abgezogen werden können, beispielsweise um die Visiterkarte zu entnehmen und gegen eine andere auszutauschen.The adhesive layer or rubber coating 6 is designed in such a way that business card 2 and film 5 can be easily removed therefrom, for example in order to remove the visitor card and exchange it for another.

Gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 weisen einzelne Bereiche 10, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ein an der Unterseite 11 der Karteikarte 3 ausgebildeter Rand, keine Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 auf. In diesem Bereich weist die Karteikarte 3 gemäß Fig. 1 eine Lochung 12 auf, die nicht durch die Folie 5 abgedeckt ist. Diese Lochung dient zum Ablegen der Karteikarte in einem Karteikasten, vorzugsweise in einem sogenannten Rotations-Karteikasten.1 and 2, individual areas 10, in the exemplary embodiment shown an edge formed on the underside 11 of the index card 3, have no adhesive layer or rubber coating 6. In this area, the index card 3 according to FIG. 1 has a perforation 12 which is not covered by the film 5. This perforation is used to store the index card in a card index box, preferably in a so-called rotary index box.

Aus Fig. 1 ist ferner ersichtlich, daß die Folie 5 geringfügig über die rechte Kante 13 der Karteikarte 3 vorsteht, damit sie leichter zum Abziehen von der Karteikarte ergriffen werden kann.From Fig. 1 it can also be seen that the film 5 protrudes slightly beyond the right edge 13 of the index card 3 so that it can be gripped more easily for removal from the index card.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellt. Auch bei diesem Schnitt sind die Dimensionen der einzelnen Elemente der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung stark vergrößert gezeigt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Visitenkarte 2 direkt auf die obere Seite 4 der Karteikarte aufgelegt. Im Gegensatz zur Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 ist die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 nicht auf der Karteikarte 3, sondern auf der zur Karteikarte weisenden Seite der Folie 5 aufgebracht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 durchsichtig ausgebildet. Diese letztgenannte Ausführungsform hat besondere Vorteile in bezug auf ein nachträgliches Verwenden der Karteikarte 3 im Zusammenhang mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung 1, da die mit der Klebeschicht oder Gummierung 6 versehene Folie 5 auf jede Karteikarte aufgelegt werden kann, ohne daß die Karteikarte einer vorherigen, gesonderten Behandlung bedarf.Another embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 3. In this section too, the dimensions of the individual elements of the device according to the invention are shown greatly enlarged. In this embodiment, the business card 2 is placed directly on the upper side 4 of the file card. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the adhesive layer or rubber coating 6 is not applied to the index card 3, but to the side of the film 5 facing the index card. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer or rubber 6 is transparent. This last-mentioned embodiment has particular advantages with regard to the subsequent use of the index card 3 in connection with the device 1 according to the invention, since the one with the adhesive layer or rubber coating 6 provided film 5 can be placed on each index card, without the index card requires a previous, separate treatment.

Nachfolgend wird die Handhabung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung zum lösbaren Verbinden der Visitenkarte 2 mit der Karteikarte 3 näher beschrieben.The handling of the device according to the invention for releasably connecting the business card 2 to the index card 3 is described in more detail below.

In bezug auf das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 wird die Folie 5 an ihrem rechten Rand ergriffen und von der Klebeschicht 6 der Karteikarte 3 in Fig. 1 beispielsweise nach links so weit abgezogen, bis die Visitenkarte 2 vollständig auf die Klebeschicht 6 der Karteikarte 3 aufgelegt werden kann. Anschließend wird die Folie in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurückgebracht und an die Klebeschicht 6 angedrückt. Die Visitenkarte 2 ist nun rutschfest mit der Karteikarte 3 verbunden.1 and 2, the film 5 is gripped at its right edge and peeled off from the adhesive layer 6 of the index card 3 in FIG. 1, for example to the left, until the business card 2 is completely on the adhesive layer 6 of the index card 3 can be placed. The film is then returned to its starting position and pressed onto the adhesive layer 6. The business card 2 is now non-slip connected to the index card 3.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 wird die Folie 5 mitsamt ihrer Klebeschicht 6 von der Karteikarte 3 soweit abgezogen, bis die Vitsenkarte 2 vollständig auf die obere Seite 4 der Karteikarte 3 auflegbar ist. Anschließend wird die Folie 5 einschließlich ihrer Klebeschicht 6 wieder in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückgeführt und an die Karteikarte 3 angedrückt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Visitenkarte an allen Seiten mit Ausnahme ihrer Rückseite von der Klebeschicht 6 und damit der Folie 5 umgeben.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, the film 5 together with its adhesive layer 6 is pulled off the index card 3 until the Vits card 2 can be placed completely on the upper side 4 of the index card 3. The film 5, including its adhesive layer 6, is then returned to its starting position and pressed onto the index card 3. In this embodiment, the business card is surrounded on all sides with the exception of its back by the adhesive layer 6 and thus the film 5.

Es ist ferner möglich, das Mittel zum Anhaften der Folie an der Karteikarte derart auszubilden, daß die Folie ausschließlich über Adhäsionskräfte an der Karteikarte haftet. Dies kann beispielsweise über eine geeignete Kombination der verwendeten Materialien geschehen. Außerdem kann die die Visitenkarte aufnehmende Seite der Karteikarte ebenso wie die zur betreffenden Seite der Karteikarte weisende Seite der Folie mit feinen Mikrohaaren versehen sein, so daß die Folie etwa nach Art eines Klettverschlusses an der Karteikarte haftet.It is also possible to design the means for adhering the film to the index card in such a way that the film adheres to the index card only by means of adhesive forces. This can be done, for example, using a suitable combination of the materials used. In addition, the side of the card receiving the business card and the side of the film facing the relevant page of the card can be provided with fine micro-hairs, so that the film adheres to the card in the manner of a Velcro fastener.

Die Klebeschicht oder Gummierung kann ferner sowohl an der Folie als auch an der Karteikarte vorgesehen sein, um die Klebekraft weiter zu erhöhen. Die Ausbildung der Klebeschicht bzw. der Gummierung kann in vielfältiger Weise variiert werden. So kann die Klebeschicht punktförmig, rechteckig, dreieckförmig, trapezförmig oder polygonal auf der Karteikarte bzw. der Folie aufgebracht sein. Außerdem können auch einzelne Bereiche der Folie frei von der Klebeschicht bzw. von der Gummierung sein, um beispielsweise ein Lösen der Folie von der Karteikarte zu erleichtern. Dies ist an der rechten Kante 13 der Karteikarte 3 in Fig. 1 gezeigt. Ferner kann die Visitenkarte 2 über die Karteikarte 3 vorstehen. Außerdem ist möglich, die einzelnen Bereiche 10 der Karteikarte 3 anstelle der vorbeschriebenen Lochung 12 mit Ausnehmungen, Perforierungen o.dgl zu versehen. Ausnehmungen haben den Vorteil, daß die Karteikarte besonders schnell in einen sogenannten Rotations-Karteikasten eingeordnet werden kann. Die Folie 5 kann auch über andere Kanten der Karteikarte vorstehen, sofern dies von dem Anwender gewünscht wird. Ebensogut kann die Folie auch bündig mit der Karteikarte abschließen. Wie bereits angedeutet, können das Mittel zum Anhaften und die Folie auf beiden Seiten der Karteikarte vorgesehen sein, um zwei Visitenkarten mit einer Karteikarte abzulegen.The adhesive layer or rubber coating can also be provided both on the film and on the index card in order to further increase the adhesive force. The formation of the adhesive layer or the rubber coating can be varied in many ways. For example, the adhesive layer can be applied to the index card or the film in a punctiform, rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal or polygonal manner. In addition, individual areas of the film can also be free of the adhesive layer or of the rubber coating, for example to facilitate detachment of the film from the index card. This is shown on the right edge 13 of the index card 3 in FIG. 1. Furthermore, the business card 2 can protrude over the index card 3. It is also possible to use the individual areas 10 of the index card 3 instead of the perforation 12 described above with recesses, To provide perforations or the like. Recesses have the advantage that the index card can be arranged particularly quickly in a so-called rotary index box. The film 5 can also protrude over other edges of the index card, if this is desired by the user. The film can also be flush with the index card. As already indicated, the means for adhering and the film can be provided on both sides of the index card in order to store two business cards with one index card.
