Abstract

The envelope (1) has a tear-off thread (3) in the form of a flat, adhesive-coated degradable strip is located in at least one fold-edge (2) of one side flap, and is stuck to the envelope paper and or to the inner lining of the envelope. In part (4) of at least one end (5) of the thread located inside the envelope, the envelope (1) has a perforation (7) to form a tear-off corner (6) covering the thread's end. The envelope is made from a continuous length of paper (8) of suitable width (9). The side edges (11) are cut by a machine (14). While the length of paper is continuously travelling, the tear-off thread is placed in the direction of travel in one side fold-edge, stuck down by pressure, and conveyed along with the paper.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Briefumschlages oder einer Versandtasche o.ä mit eingelegtem Aufreißfaden, wobei der Aufreißfaden im Verlauf der Fertigung an einer von einer Faltkante einer Verschlußlasche verschiedenen Faltkante angeordnet wird, bevor der Briefumschlag fertig gefaltet wird.The invention relates to a method for producing an envelope or a mailing bag or the like with an inserted tear thread, the tear thread being arranged in the course of production on a fold edge different from a folded edge of a closure flap before the envelope is finished folding.

Umschläge in der Form von Briefumschlägen der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art sind bereits bekannt geworden durch die FR-A-2 420 487. Bei der Herstellung des bekannten Umschlags daß der Faden stückweise eingelegt werden und es ist aus der FR-A-2 420 487 nicht erkennbar, wie die Einlegung eines solchen Fadens während der Fertigung erfolgen soll.Envelopes in the form of envelopes of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 are already known from FR-A-2 420 487. In the production of the known envelope that the thread is inserted piece by piece and it is from FR-A-2 420 487 not recognizable how the insertion of such a thread should take place during production.

Eine manuelle Einlegung ist indiskutabel.Manual insertion is out of the question.

Ausgehend von diesem StdT soll mit der Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Umschlages vorgeschlagen werden.Starting from this StdT, the invention is intended to propose a method for producing such an envelope.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a method having the features of patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Führung des Fadens entlang der Seitenkante läßt ein kontinuierliches Auflegen und Abwickeln des Fadens mit dem Lauf des endlosen Papierbandes zu, so daß der Faden problemlos aufgelegt und mit Messern für die Beschneidung der Seitenkanten geschnitten und in der Faltkante des noch flachen Zuschnitts verklebt ist, so daß während der weiteren Faltung des Zuschnitts zum fertigen Briefumschlag nicht irgendwelche weiteren besonderen Maßnahmen bez. dieses Fadens getroffen werden müssen, sondern der Faden vielmehr völlig unbeachtet bleiben kann. Ein entlang der Seitenkante, also einer seitlichen Faltkante des Zuschnittes angeordneter und dort verklebter Aufreißfaden ohne Überstand kann von außen nicht abgerissen werden. Durch Abreißen einer kleineren oberen Ecke an der Seitenkante des Briefumschlages oder an irgendeiner beliebigen anderen Ecke, an welcher der Faden endet, kann der Faden ergriffen und in Seitenrichtung abgezogen und damit der Briefumschlag geöffnet werden. Es kann somit der Faden wirtschaftlich eingebracht werden, so daß der Briefumschlag wieder wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden kann. Ein Abreißen von überstehenden Fadenenden ist nicht mehr möglich, weil keine Fadenenden überstehen. Demnach kann auch nicht ungewollt über das überstehende und an seinem freien Ende am Briefumschlag verklebte Fadenende ein Briefumschlag geöffnet werden.The guiding of the thread along the side edge according to the invention allows the thread to be continuously placed and unwound with the course of the endless paper tape, so that the thread is easily placed on top and cut with knives for trimming the side edges and glued in the folded edge of the still flat blank, so that during the further folding of the blank to the finished envelope no other special measures bez. this thread must be taken, but the thread can rather be completely ignored. A tear thread that is arranged along the side edge, that is to say a side folding edge of the blank and glued there without an overhang, cannot be torn off from the outside. By tearing off a smaller upper corner on the side edge of the envelope or at any other corner where the thread ends, the thread can be gripped and pulled off in the lateral direction and the envelope can thus be opened. The thread can thus be introduced economically, so that the envelope is economically restored can be. It is no longer possible to tear off protruding thread ends because no thread ends protrude. Accordingly, an envelope cannot be opened unintentionally via the protruding thread end which is glued to the envelope at its free end.

Aus produktiontechnischen Gründen ist der Faden in einer seitlichen Faltkante des Zuschnitts angeordnet. Diese Faltkante einer Seitenklappe ist die in Maschinenrichtung verlaufende Faltkante. Ein Positionieren gerade in dieser Kante ermöglicht ein Einbringen eines endlosen Fadens bei der Umschlagherstellung.For technical reasons, the thread is arranged in a side folding edge of the blank. This fold edge of a side flap is the fold edge running in the machine direction. Positioning straight in this edge enables the insertion of an endless thread during the envelope production.

Wenn der Aufreißfaden mit Klebstoff versehen ist, der unter Druck und/oder Wärmezufuhr klebt, kann auf eine entsprechende Leimung oder Gummierung des Briefumschlages selbst bzw. des Zuschnittes vor der Aufbringung des Fadens verzichtet werden. Der Klebstoff ist immer da, wo auch der Faden ist und es entfallen alle Positionierprobleme zwischen einem Klebstoffstreifen und einem Faden. Es kann bei dieser Form der Klebung auch nicht mehr vorkommen, daß sich der Aufreißfaden, der nur an einem einzigen Punkt an seinem Ende verklebt ist, mit Beginn des Aufreißvorganges aus seiner Verklebung löst, so daß er einfach herausgezogen werden kann und eine Öffnung mittels dieses Fadens nicht mehr möglich ist. Hierbei sind bspw. sog. Hotmeltstreifen zu erwähnen, die durch Wärmezufuhr kleben oder Selbstklebestreifen, die durch Andrücken an der Papierbahn kleben.If the tear thread is provided with adhesive that sticks under pressure and / or supply of heat, it is possible to dispense with appropriate gluing or gumming of the envelope itself or of the blank before the thread is applied. The adhesive is always where the thread is and there are no positioning problems between an adhesive strip and a thread. It can also no longer happen with this form of gluing that the tear thread, which is only glued to a single point at its end, detaches from its gluing at the start of the tear-open process, so that it can simply be pulled out and an opening by means of this Thread is no longer possible. For example, so-called hot-melt strips that stick by applying heat or self-adhesive strips that stick to the paper web by pressing are to be mentioned.

Maschinen mit denen aus einem durch die Maschine schnell und fortlaufend hindurchtransportierten Papierband, das ggfls. vorher in der Maschine schon in gewünschter Weise bedruckt wurde, ein flacher Zuschnitt zur Herstellung von Briefumschlägen geschnitten werden kann, sind schon bekannt. Ihr Aufbau und ihre Betriebsweise muß daher hier nicht beschrieben werden. Auf die durchlaufende Papierbahn, die in Querrichtung noch nicht getrennt und an den Seitenkanten noch nicht beschnitten ist, wird an einer geeigneten Stelle, z. B. an einer Umlenkwalze, seitlich einer sich in Richtung der laufenden Papierbahn erstreckenden späteren Faltkante kontinuierlich der Aufreißfaden aufgelegt und mittels einer Walze oder Rolle angedrückt und damit mit der Papierbahn kontinuierlich verKlebt und kontinuierlich transportiert. Das Auflegen und Verkleben und der Transport kann ohne irgendeine Beeinträchtigung der üblichen Transportgeschwindigkeit der Papierbahn erfolgen. Die allgemeine Arbeit der bekannten Maschine wird in keiner Weise gestört. Während des Transportes der Papierbahn durch die Maschine und nachdem der Aufreißfaden in der genannten Art aufgelegt ist, erfolgt die formgerechte Beschneidung der Seitenkanten z. B. mittels eines Rotationsmessers, das ansich ebenfalls bekannt ist und daher in seiner Funktion und Form ebenfalls keiner näheren Beschreibung bedarf. Das Rotationsmesser schneidet nun nicht nur im Bereich der Beschneidung der Seitenkanten überschüssige Papierteile weg, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Überstände des Aufreißfadens, so daß gleichzeitig der Aufreißfaden jedes Briefumschlages auf seine richtige Länge geschnitten wird. Bei der späteren Faltung des Zuschnitts zum fertigen Briefumschlag muß der aufgelegte Faden garnicht mehr beachtet werden. Wenn der Briefumschlag aus dem Zuschnitt zusammengefaltet ist, liegt der Faden an der richtigen Stelle. Um dann später den Aufreißfaden auch rasch und problemlos greifen zu können, ist es sinnvoll an mindestens einem Ende eines Aufreißfadens einen Papierbereich zur Bildung einer Abreißecke zu perforieren. Dies kann in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung zusammen mit dem Formatausschnitt der Seitenkanten durchgeführt werden.Machines with those from a paper tape that is quickly and continuously transported through the machine. have already been printed in the desired manner in the machine, a flat blank can be cut for the production of envelopes, are already known. Their structure and mode of operation therefore need not be described here. On the continuous paper web, which is not yet separated in the transverse direction and is not yet trimmed at the side edges, is at a suitable point, for. B. on a deflecting roller, laterally a later in the direction of the running paper web later folding edge of the tear thread and pressed by means of a roller or roller and thus continuously glued to the paper web and transported continuously. The laying on and gluing and the transport can take place without any impairment of the normal transport speed of the paper web. The general work of the known machine is in no way disturbed. During the transport of the paper web through the machine and after the tear thread is placed in the manner mentioned, the shape of the side edges is trimmed z. B. by means of a rotary knife, which is also known per se and therefore does not require any further description in its function and shape. The Rotary knife not only cuts away excess paper parts in the area of the trimming of the side edges, but also the protrusions of the tear thread, so that the tear thread of each envelope is cut to its correct length at the same time. When the blank is subsequently folded into the finished envelope, the thread placed on it no longer has to be observed. When the envelope is folded out of the blank, the thread is in the right place. In order to be able to quickly and easily grasp the tear thread later, it makes sense to perforate a paper area at least at one end of a tear thread to form a tear-off corner. In a further embodiment of the invention, this can be carried out together with the format cutout of the side edges.

Schließlich wird bezüglich der Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens noch vorgeschlagen, daß nach dem Einfalten der den Aufreißfaden umfassenden Seitenlaschen die Faltkante unter Druck überrollt wird. Hierdurch wird die Klebung des Aufreißfadens noch einmal gesichert und das spätere Aufreißen erleichtert.Finally, with regard to the design of the method, it is also proposed that after folding in the side flaps comprising the tear thread, the folded edge is rolled over under pressure. As a result, the adhesive of the tear thread is secured again and the subsequent tearing easier.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen, die lediglich einen schematischen Aufbau und Ablauf zeigen, näher erläutert werden.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which only show a schematic structure and sequence.

Fig. 2 zeigt den schematischen Aufbau eines Ausschnitts 15 einer Maschine 14 zur Herstellung von Briefbögen, der ein Teil einer Gesamtanlage ist. Eine ununterbrochene Papierbahn 8, wie sie auch in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, durchläuft, wie Fig. 2 erkennen läßt, diesen Ausschnitt 15, der zwischen der Fensterstation 10 und der Station für den Formatseitenausschnitt 26 liegt in Richtung des Pfeils 20. Die Anordnung direkt vor dem Formatseitenausschnitt hat den Vorteil, daß die mit dem Band beklebte Papierbahn vor dem Schneiden des Fadens nicht verschiedenen Krümmungen unterliegt, die ein Ablösen des Fadens forcieren könnten. Dem Ausschnitt 15 zugeordnet ist eine Fadenspuleinrichtung 16 und eine Führungs- und Anpresseinrichtung 19.Fig. 2 shows the schematic structure of a section 15 of a machine 14 for the production of letterhead, which is part of an overall system. An uninterrupted paper web 8, as also shown in FIG. 1, passes through this cutout 15, as can be seen in FIG. 2, which lies between the window station 10 and the station for the format side cutout 26 in the direction of the arrow 20. The arrangement is direct Before the format side cutout has the advantage that the paper web glued to the tape is not subject to various curvatures before cutting the thread, which could force the thread to come off. A thread winding device 16 and a guiding and pressing device 19 are assigned to the cutout 15.

Die Fadenspuleinrichtung 16 trägt eine Fadenspule 18 und dieser nachfolgend ein Abrollgerät 17, mit welchem auch die Fadenspannung des Aufreißfadens 3 geregelt werden kann.The thread spool device 16 carries a thread spool 18 and this is followed by a dispenser 17, with which the thread tension of the tear thread 3 can also be regulated.

Während des Betriebes wird der Aufreißfaden 3 von der Fadenspule 18 der Fadenspuleinrichtung 16 durch das die Fadenspannung regelnde Abrollgerät 17 hindurch abgespult und zur Führungs- und Anpresseinrichtung 19 geführt. Der Faden 3 wird in die richtige Seitenlage geführt und sodann bei Bedarf über weitere Führungsrollen zur Papierbahn 8 im Bereich vor der Station für den Formatseitenausschnitt 26 geführt und dort auf die Papierbahn aufgelegt und über die Anpressrolle 22 auf die Papierbahn gepreßt. Da der Aufreißfaden 3 selbst den notwendigen Klebstoff aufweist, wird er hierdurch an der Papierbahn angeklebt, die ihn während des Betriebes wieder in Richtung des Pfeiles 20 mittransportiert und ihm hierbei die gleiche Geschwindigkeit wie die Papierbahn 8 selbst aufzwingt. Die Anpressrolle 22 kann zur Erzeugung der erforderlichen Anpresskraft z. B. federbelastet sein. Die seitliche Ausrichtung des Aufreißfadens 3 ist hierbei so, daß er entlang einer sich in Richtung des Pfeiles 20 erstreckenden und sich in diese Richtung bewegenden Faltkante 2 (Fig. 1) aufgelegt wird. Direkt nach diesem Vorgang wird die Seitenkante 11 an beiden Seiten der Papierbahn 8 mit Hilfe eines rotierenden Messers 25, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, in einer Formatschneidstation 26 geschnitten. Hierdurch wird die notwendige Seitenkontur eines später aus einem solchen Zuschnitt zu faltenden Briefumschlages hergestellt. Ein Trennschnitt entlang der Trennkante 21 zur Trennung eines Zuschnittes von anderen Zuschnitten erfolgt später. Mit Hilfe der Messerkontur 24 des in Fig. 3 abgebildeten Rotationsmessers, die in Fig. 4 noch einmal in Abwicklung dargestellt ist und auch in Fig. 1 in Abwicklung erkennbar ist, wird nun ein überflüssiger Randbereich, der in Fig. 1 schraffiert dargestellt ist, abgeschnitten. Hierbei wird in diesem Bereich gleichzeitig der Aufreißfaden 3 durchtrennt, der mit dein schraffiert dargestellten Papierbereich Abfall wird. Durch diesen Schneidvorgang werden Seitenlaschen 13 gebildet, die später bei der Faltung des Briefumschlags 1 entlang der Faltkante 2 nach innen umgefaltet werden, so daß nach dieser Umfaltung nach innen der Aufreißfaden 3 vom Papier des Zuschnittes umfaßt wird. Er endet damit genau an den Rändern des Zuschnitts und steht an keiner Stelle über.During operation, the tear thread 3 is removed from the thread spool 18 of the thread spool device 16 by the unwinding device 17 regulating the thread tension unwound through and led to the guide and pressing device 19. The thread 3 is guided into the correct lateral position and then, if necessary, guided to the paper web 8 in the area in front of the station for the format side cutout 26 via further guide rollers and placed there on the paper web and pressed onto the paper web via the pressure roller 22. Since the tear thread 3 itself has the necessary adhesive, it is thereby glued to the paper web, which transports it back in the direction of the arrow 20 during operation, thereby forcing the same speed as the paper web 8 itself. The pressure roller 22 can be used to generate the required contact pressure z. B. be spring loaded. The lateral orientation of the tear thread 3 is such that it is placed along a folding edge 2 (FIG. 1) which extends in the direction of the arrow 20 and moves in this direction. Immediately after this process, the side edge 11 is cut on both sides of the paper web 8 using a rotating knife 25, as shown in FIG. 3, in a format cutting station 26. This creates the necessary side contour of an envelope to be folded later from such a blank. A separating cut along the separating edge 21 for separating a blank from other blanks takes place later. With the aid of the knife contour 24 of the rotary knife shown in FIG. 3, which is shown again in development in FIG. 4 and can also be seen in development in FIG. 1, an unnecessary edge region, which is shown hatched in FIG. 1, is now cut off. Here, the tear thread 3 is cut through in this area, which becomes waste with the hatched paper area. This cutting process forms side flaps 13 which are later folded inwards along the folding edge 2 when the envelope 1 is folded, so that after this folding inwards the tear thread 3 is covered by the paper of the blank. It ends exactly at the edges of the cut and does not protrude anywhere.

Zur Messerkontur 24 ist ergänzend ein Perforationsmesser 25 vorgesehen, mit dem während des Schnittes die Perforation 7 so eingebracht wird, daß hiervon der Aufreißfaden 3 nicht verletzt wird. Dieser perforierte Bereich 4 am Ende des Fadens 5 bildet dann nach dem Zusammenfalten des Briefumschlag 1 eine Abreißecke, die leicht erkannt und abgerissen werden kann, wodurch man das entsprechende Ende 5 des Fadens 3 in Händen hält und sodann die entsprechende Faltkante des Briefumschlags aufreißen kann. Die gesamte Breite 9 der Papierbahn 8 wird somit jeweils nur von den Seitenlaschen 13 erreicht und ist bei den Seitenkanten 11, die von der Messerkontur 24 geschnitten werden, schmäler, wobei sich entgegen der Transportrichtung des Pfeiles 20 diesem schmäleren Bereich nach der Trennkante 21 eine Verschlußlasche 23 des nächsten Zuschnittes anschließt. Der Zuschnitt eines solchen Briefumschlags 1 und dessen Herstellung sind jedoch ansich bekannt und bedürfen daher hier ebenfalls keiner weiteren Erläuterung.In addition to the knife contour 24, a perforation knife 25 is provided, with which the perforation 7 is introduced during the cut in such a way that the tear thread 3 is not damaged thereby. This perforated area 4 at the end of the thread 5 then forms a tear-off corner after the folding of the envelope 1, which can be easily recognized and torn off, so that the corresponding end 5 of the thread 3 is held in hands and then the corresponding folded edge of the envelope can be torn open. The entire width 9 of the paper web 8 is thus only reached by the side flaps 13 and is narrower at the side edges 11 which are cut by the knife contour 24, with a closure flap after the separating edge 21 opposite the transport direction of the arrow 20 23 of the next blank. However, the cutting of such an envelope 1 and its production are known per se and therefore do not require any further explanation here either.

Es ist auch zu erkennen, daß der normale Produktionsablauf für die Herstellung solcher Briefumschläge, wie er bekannt ist, durch die Auflegung des Aufreißfadens 3 in der hier beschriebenen Weise nicht gestört wird. Es ergeben sich keinerlei Änderungen im Produktionsablauf. Es ist für die Durchführung des Verfahrens lediglich der bekannte Ablauf des Verfahrens und zusätzlich die beschriebene Fadenauflegung erforderlich. Als Maschine 14 zur Durchführung des Verfahrens genügt es, irgendeine bekannte Maschine, die bei der Herstellung solcher Briefumschläge Verwendung findet, so zu ergänzen, daß an einer zugänglichen Stützrolle für die sich schnell bewegende Papierbahn 8 ein Faden in richtiger seitlicher Ausrichtung und sich in Transportrichtung erstreckend auf die Papierbahn aufgelegt und durch Anpressung mittels der Anpressrolle 22 verklebt wird. Hierzu muß der Faden, der von einer zugeordneten Fadenspuleinrichtung bereitgestellt wird, in die richtige seitliche Richtung geführt werden, weil ja auf der Fadenspule 18 der zur Verfügung zu stellende Faden 3 nicht nur übereinander sondern auch nebeneinander gespult ist, so daß beim Abspulen dieser Faden ständig hin- und herläuft. Es ist jedoch auch möglich zur Fadenführung nicht eine Fadenführungsrolle sondern andere geeignete Mittel zu verwenden wie bspw. ein Fadeneinlauftrichter mit einer Auslaufdüse in richtiger seitlicher Lage für den Faden. Falls die Fadenspule nicht allzu breit ist und statt dessen einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist, genügt als Fadenführung sogar eine einfache Öse, durch die der Faden hindurchläuft.It can also be seen that the normal production process for the production of such envelopes, as is known, is not disrupted by the application of the tear thread 3 in the manner described here. There are no changes in the production process. All that is required to carry out the method is the known sequence of the method and additionally the thread placement described. As a machine 14 for carrying out the method, it is sufficient to supplement any known machine which is used in the production of such envelopes in such a way that on an accessible support roller for the fast-moving paper web 8, a thread extends in the correct lateral orientation and extends in the transport direction placed on the paper web and glued by pressing with the pressure roller 22. To do this, the thread that is assigned by an Thread winding device is provided, are guided in the correct lateral direction, because yes, the thread 3 to be provided on the thread spool 18 is not only wound one above the other but also side by side, so that this thread runs back and forth continuously when unwinding. However, it is also possible not to use a thread guide roller for thread guidance, but other suitable means such as, for example, a thread inlet funnel with an outlet nozzle in the correct lateral position for the thread. If the thread spool is not too wide and instead has a larger diameter, a simple eyelet is sufficient as a thread guide, through which the thread runs.

Die Leimung des Fadens selbst derart, daß die Klebeeigenschaften erst unter Druck und/oder unter Wärmezufuhr wieder wirksam werden, macht es überflüssig an irgendwelchen Leimeinrichtungen Leimzuführungen vorzusehen, die ausgerichtet werden müssen und es müssen weiter auch keine Leimabstreifer vorgesehen sein, so daß die Verarbeitung außerordentlich sauber erfolgen kann.The sizing of the thread itself in such a way that the adhesive properties only become effective again under pressure and / or with the addition of heat, makes it superfluous to provide glue feeds on any gluing devices which have to be aligned and furthermore no glue scrapers have to be provided, so that the processing is extraordinary can be done cleanly.
