Description

L'invention concerne une carte-lettre en trois volets à pliage roulé.The invention relates to a three fold rolled letter card.

Il est connu d'utiliser des articles de correspondance postale du type cartes-lettres.It is known to use postal correspondence items such as letter cards.

Ces articles comportent au moins deux volets et souvent trois qui peuvent recevoir une impression directe.These items have at least two components and often three that can receive a direct impression.

Suivant le nombre de volets et le mode de pliage prévu pour la carte-lettre (pliage en paravent ou pliage roulé), l'adresse du destinataire est portée directement sur le volet formant la face du pli scellé, ou apparaít à travers une fenêtre ménagée sur ledit volet de face après avoir été imprimée sur un autre.Depending on the number of flaps and the folding method provided for the letter card (folding in folding screen or rolled folding), the recipient's address is carried directly on the flap forming the face of the sealed fold, or appears through a window on said face flap after having been printed on another.

Ce type de document peut se présenter en bande en continu formée de panneaux séparables constituant chacun une carte-lettre en plusieurs volets.This type of document can be presented in a continuous strip formed of panels separable each constituting a letter card in several sections.

Pour un assemblage en continu, les panneaux sont généralement séparés les uns des autres après passage dans l'imprimante mais il est bien sûr possible d'utiliser une imprimante en feuille à feuille avec des articles fabriqués à l'unité ou séparés à l'unité à partir d'une fabrication en continu.For a continuous assembly, the panels are generally separated the each other after passing through the printer but it is of course possible to use a sheet-fed printer with items made individually or separated at the unit from a continuous production.

Dans tous les cas, chaque article est plié le long de lignes de pliage séparant les différents volets, et scellé automatiquement par simple pression grâce à des alignements de zones autocollantes ou par pression et chauffage grâce à des filets thermo-collants.In all cases, each item is folded along fold lines separating the different flaps, and sealed automatically by simple pressure thanks to alignments self-adhesive areas or by pressure and heating thanks to nets thermo-tights.

A la réception, le destinataire ouvre ces plis en détachant des bandes étroites grâce à des lignes de perforations détachables sur trois côtés ou au moins sur deux côtés opposés et décollage du troisième côté qui est parallèle aux lignes de pliage. Les documents GB-A-2029371 et EP-A-587315 montrent de tels exemples d'ouverture.At the reception, the recipient opens these folds by detaching narrow strips with detachable perforation lines on three sides or at least two opposite sides and take off on the third side which is parallel to the fold lines. Documents GB-A-2029371 and EP-A-587315 show such examples of opening.

Il est clair que pour un bon scellement, notamment pour des articles de correspondance confidentiels, le troisième côté ne peut pas être décollable contrairement par exemple à l'article décrit dans le document EP-A-587315 et, en conséquence, le seul moyen d'ouverture connu jusqu'à présent consiste, comme dans le document GB-A-2029371, à détacher une bande comportant des parties collées entre elles, ladite bande étant ménagée transversalement entre les deux autres bandes détachables opposées l'une à l'autre.It is clear that for a good seal, especially for correspondence items confidential, the third side cannot be peelable unlike for example in the article described in document EP-A-587315 and, consequently, the only known means of opening up to now consists, as in the document GB-A-2029371, to detach a strip comprising parts glued together, said band being formed transversely between the two other detachable bands opposite each other.

Toutefois on comprend que pour une carte-lettre à trois volets, si sur les côtés il n'y a pas d'inconvénient à détacher les bandes collées, sur le troisième côté parallèle aux lignes de pliage et quel que soit ce côté et quel que soit le mode de pliage (accordéon ou roulé), on sépare nécessairement, comme dans le document GB précité, l'un des volets des deux autres de telle sorte que l'on ne peut pas obtenir un message imprimé sur les trois volets restants attenants les uns aux autres.However, we understand that for a three-fold letter card, if on the sides there is no problem detaching the glued strips, on the third parallel side to the fold lines and whatever that side and whatever the folding mode (accordion or rolled), we necessarily separate, as in the aforementioned GB document, one of the flaps of the other two so that one cannot get a message printed on the three remaining adjoining panels.

C'est pourquoi l'invention propose une carte-lettre intéressante qui permet notamment une ouverture aisée ainsi que la possibilité d'obtenir un message en trois volets d'un seul tenant.This is why the invention proposes an interesting letter card which allows in particular an easy opening as well as the possibility of obtaining a message in three shutters in one piece.

A cet effet, la carte-lettre selon l'invention comporte trois volets réalisés dans un feuillet repliable sur lui-même selon deux lignes transversales de pliage délimitant un volet central disposé entre deux volets extrêmes dénommés ci-après respectivement volet de tête et volet de pied, le feuillet comportant deux bandes latérales opposées et détachables, revêtues au moins en partie de colle sur l'une des faces du feuillet, dite face intérieure, le bord transversal du volet de pied comportant sur cette face intérieure au moins une zone revêtue de colle, la face extérieure des bandes latérales du volet de tête étant également revêtue au moins en partie de colle, de même qu'au moins une zone transversale de ladite face extérieure, disposée au voisinage de la ligne de pliage et de séparation avec le volet central, de telle sorte qu'un pliage roulé vers l'intérieur à partir du volet de tête permet un scellement par superposition des zones de collage, le pli étant fermé transversalement par la ou les zones transversales de collage de la face intérieure du volet de pied qui s'applique sur la ou les zones transversales de collage de la face extérieure du volet de tête, tandis que le volet de pied comporte une bande transversale détachable qui est prévue au voisinage et vers l'intérieur de la ou des zones transversales de collage du volet de pied de telle sorte que le détachement de cette bande et des bandes latérales permet l'ouverture de la carte-lettre tout en conservant la quasi-totalité des trois volets d'un seul tenant, une petite bande transversale correspondant au bord du volet de pied restant collée sur la face extérieure du volet de tête.To this end, the letter card according to the invention has three sections made in a foldable sheet on itself along two transverse fold lines delimiting a central flap disposed between two extreme flaps hereinafter called respectively head flap and foot flap, the sheet having two opposite side bands and detachable, coated at least in part with glue on one of the faces of the sheet, said inner face, the transverse edge of the foot flap comprising on this inner side at least one area coated with glue, the outer side of the strips side of the head flap being also coated at least in part with glue, same as at least one transverse zone of said outer face, disposed at near the fold and divider line with the central flap, so that a fold rolled inwards from the head flap allows sealing by superimposition of the bonding zones, the fold being closed transversely by the one or more transverse bonding zones of the inner face of the foot flap which is applied to the transverse bonding zone or zones of the external face of the head flap, while that the foot flap has a detachable transverse strip which is provided at the in the vicinity and inward of the transverse bonding zone or zones of the shutter foot so that the detachment of this band and the side bands allows opening the letter card while retaining almost all of the three parts of a in one piece, a small transverse strip corresponding to the edge of the foot flap remaining glued to the outside of the head flap.

Un mode de réalisation avantageux est remarquable en ce que la bande transversale détachable s'étend d'un premier côté à partir du bord latéral du feuillet jusqu'à la bande latérale détachable prévue sur l'autre côté dudit feuillet, tandis que sur ce premier côté, la face intérieure de la bande latérale du volet de pied et/ou la face extérieure de la bande latérale du volet de tête ne comporte pas de colle à proximité de leurs zones transversales de collage de manière à laisser libre le bord d'attaque de la bande transversale détachable destinée à être détachée, pour l'ouverture du pli, avant les bandes latérales.An advantageous embodiment is remarkable in that the strip detachable transverse extends from one side from the side edge of the sheet to the detachable side strip provided on the other side of said sheet, while on this first side, the inner face of the lateral strip of the foot flap and / or the face outside of the side flap of the head flap has no glue near their transverse bonding areas so that leave the leading edge of the detachable transverse strip free intended to be detached, for opening the fold, before the bands side.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre et qui se réfère aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • les figures 1 et 2 représentent respectivement la face intérieure et la face extérieure d'un feuillet selon l'invention à partir duquel on obtient une carte-lettre à trois volets,
  • la figure 3 montre le mode de pliage et de scellement du feuillet des figures 1 et 2 et,
  • la figure 4 montre la carte-lettre telle qu'elle se présente après scellement et en cours d'ouverture.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively represent the inner face and the outer face of a sheet according to the invention from which a letter card with three flaps is obtained,
  • FIG. 3 shows the method of folding and sealing the sheet of FIGS. 1 and 2 and,
  • Figure 4 shows the letter card as it appears after sealing and during opening.

La carte-lettre selon l'invention se compose d'un feuillet 1 repliable selon deux lignes transversales de pliage 2a, 2b (figures 1 à 4) délimitant un volet central 3a disposé entre deux volets extrêmes dénommés ci-après respectivement volet de tête 3b et volet de pied 3c.The letter card according to the invention consists of a sheet 1 foldable along two transverse fold lines 2a, 2b (Figures 1 to 4) delimiting a central flap 3a disposed between two extreme flaps hereinafter called head flap 3b and foot flap 3c respectively.

Les volets ont sensiblement la même dimension, le volet central 3a étant toutefois ici légèrement plus grand.The flaps have substantially the same dimension, the central flap 3a being here however slightly larger.

La figure 1 montre la face intérieure du feuillet destiné à recevoir des informations et la figure 2 montre la face extérieure où seul le volet de pied 3c est prévu pour recevoir par exemple une adresse, la face extérieure dudit volet 3c étant destinée à constituer le dessus de la carte-lettre comme le montrent les figures 3 et 4.Figure 1 shows the inside of the sheet intended for receive information and figure 2 shows the outside face where only the foot flap 3c is provided to receive for example a address, the external face of said shutter 3c being intended to constitute the top of the letter card as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

La face extérieure des volets 3a et 3b peut donc recevoir une impression (schématisée ici par un quadrillage), destinée à rendre le feuillet plus opaque.The outer face of the flaps 3a and 3b can therefore receive an impression (shown here by a grid), intended to render the more opaque sheet.

Le feuillet 1 comporte deux bandes latérales opposées 4, 4' détachables le long de lignes de détachement 5, 5'.The sheet 1 has two opposite lateral bands 4, 4 ' detachable along detachment lines 5, 5 '.

La face intérieure (figure 1) des bandes latérales 4, 4' est revêtue en partie de colle formant ainsi des zones de collage 6, 6'; 7, 7' et 8, 8' respectivement sur les volets 3a, 3b et 3c, les zones 6, 6' et 7, 7' étant sensiblement alignées vers l'intérieur le long des lignes 5, 5' tandis que les zones 8, 8' du volet 3c étant ici décalées vers l'extérieur.The inner face (FIG. 1) of the lateral bands 4, 4 ′ is partially coated with glue, thus forming bonding zones 6, 6 '; 7, 7 'and 8, 8' respectively on shutters 3a, 3b and 3c, the zones 6, 6 'and 7, 7' being substantially aligned inward along lines 5, 5 'while the zones 8, 8' of the shutter 3c being here shifted outward.

La face intérieure du volet 3c comporte en outre sur son bord transversal une zone de collage ici divisée en deux, 9, 9'.The inner face of the flap 3c also has on its edge transverse a bonding area here divided into two, 9, 9 '.

La face extérieure (figure 2) de chaque bande latérale 4, 4' du volet de tête 3b comporte aussi une zone de collage 10, 10' disposée le long du bord.The outer face (Figure 2) of each side strip 4, 4 ' of the head flap 3b also includes a bonding zone 10, 10 ′ arranged along the edge.

La face extérieure dudit volet 3b comporte également une zone de collage divisée en deux 11, 11' disposée transversalement le long de la ligne de pliage 2a qui sépare ledit volet de tête 3b du volet central 3a.The outer face of said flap 3b also includes an area of gluing divided in two 11, 11 'arranged transversely along the fold line 2a which separates said head flap 3b from the flap central 3a.

De la sorte, on comprend que lors d'un pliage dit "roulé" vers l'intérieur à partir du volet de tête 3b, c'est-à-dire en rabattant la face intérieure de celui-ci vers la face intérieure du volet central 3a, puis la face extérieure du volet de tête 3b vers la face intérieure du volet de pied 3c, on se trouve dans la position de la figure 3.In this way, we understand that during a folding called "rolled" towards the interior from the head flap 3b, that is to say by folding the inner side of it towards the inner side of the central flap 3a, then the external face of the head flap 3b towards the internal face of the foot flap 3c, we are in the position of FIG. 3.

Il suffit d'appliquer les trois volets l'un sur l'autre pour obtenir le scellement de la carte-lettre, après activation des zones de colle selon la nature de celle-ci (par chaleur, humidification, pression, ...).Just apply the three strands one on top of the other to obtain the sealing of the letter card, after activation of the zones of glue according to the nature of it (by heat, humidification, pressure, ...).

En effet, on comprend que les zones 7, 7' et 6, 6' des faces intérieures des bandes latérales 4, 4' des volets respectivement 3b et 3a, s'appliquent les unes sur les autres, de même que les zones 8, 8' de la face intérieure des bandes 4, 4' du volet 3c s'appliquent sur les zones 10, 10' de la face extérieure du volet 3b, de telle manière que l'on obtient un scellement latéral complet. On peut constater que le décalage des zones 8, 8' vers les bords extérieurs se retrouvent bien sûr pour les zones 10, 10'.Indeed, we understand that the zones 7, 7 'and 6, 6' of the faces interior of the lateral bands 4, 4 ′ of the flaps 3b and 3a, apply to each other, as well as zones 8, 8 ' from the inside of the strips 4, 4 'of the flap 3c apply to zones 10, 10 'of the external face of the shutter 3b, in such a way that we obtain a complete lateral sealing. We can note that the offset of the zones 8, 8 'towards the outer edges are found of course for zones 10, 10 '.

On comprend aussi qu'en fin de pliage, les zones transversales 9, 9' de la face intérieure du volet 3c s'appliquent sur les zones correspondantes 11, 11' de la face extérieure du volet 3b, ce qui permet de fermer complètement la carte-lettre sur tois côtés, comme le montre la figure 4, le quatrième côté constitué par la ligne de pliage 2b étant naturellement fermé.We also understand that at the end of folding, the transverse zones 9, 9 'on the inside of shutter 3c apply to the areas corresponding 11, 11 'of the outer face of the flap 3b, which allows you to completely close the letter card on both sides, like the shows figure 4, the fourth side formed by the fold line 2b being naturally closed.

Il est clair qu'outre la face extérieure du volet 3c qui porte une adresse, la face intérieure des volets 3a, 3b et 3c sont préalablement imprimées ou portent des mentions manuscrites, cette impression pouvant être effectuée sur la totalité de la zone comprise entre les lignes 5, 5' et la ligne 13 dont il sera question ci-après.It is clear that in addition to the external face of the shutter 3c which carries an address, the inner face of the flaps 3a, 3b and 3c are previously printed or bear handwritten words, this printing can be performed over the entire area between the lines 5, 5 'and line 13 which will be discussed below.

Comme le montrent bien toutes les figures, le volet de pied 3c du feuillet 1 selon l'invention comporte une bande transversale 12 détachable au moyen de deux lignes de détachement 13 et 14.As all the figures clearly show, the foot flap 3c of sheet 1 according to the invention comprises a transverse strip 12 detachable by means of two detachment lines 13 and 14.

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 1, la bande 12 est prévue à proximité des zones de collage 9 et 9'.As shown more particularly in FIG. 1, the strip 12 is provided near the bonding zones 9 and 9 '.

En outre, on peut constater que les lignes 13 et 14 s'étendent d'un côté (côté droit sur la figure 1) à partir du bord latéral du feuillet jusqu'à la ligne de détachement 5 disposée de l'autre côté.In addition, we can see that lines 13 and 14 extend on one side (right side in Figure 1) from the side edge of the sheet to the detachment line 5 on the other side.

De plus, il est important de noter que la zone de collage 8' du volet 3c (figure 1) ne s'étend pas sur ladite bande 12.In addition, it is important to note that the bonding area 8 ' of the shutter 3c (FIG. 1) does not extend over the said strip 12.

De même, la zone de collage 10' de la face extérieure du volet 3b (figures 2 et 3) présente une zone libre 15 sans colle.Likewise, the bonding zone 10 ′ of the external face of the flap 3b (Figures 2 and 3) has a free area 15 without glue.

On comprend qu'ainsi la bande 12 présente une partie d'extrémité 16 non collée qui s'étend jusqu'au bord du feuillet.It is understood that thus the strip 12 has an end portion 16 not glued which extends to the edge of the sheet.

L'ouverture de la carte-lettre selon l'invention est alors facile à comprendre.The opening of the letter card according to the invention is then easy to understand.

Il suffit en effet de saisir le bord d'attaque de la bande 12 constituée par la zone d'extrémité 16 et de la détacher complètement (figure 4).It suffices to grasp the leading edge of the strip 12 formed by the end zone 16 and detach it completely (figure 4).

En détachant ensuite les bandes latérales 4 et 4' (figure 4), on comprend que l'on récupère la totalité de la zone du feuillet comprise entre les lignes 5, 5' et 13, c'est-à-dire la quasi-totalité des volets qui restent attenants les uns aux autres, une petite bande transversale 17 (figures 1 à 4) correspondant au bord du volet de pied 3c restant collée sur la face extérieure du volet de tête 3b.Then detaching the side strips 4 and 4 '(Figure 4), we understand that we recover the entire area of the sheet between lines 5, 5 'and 13, i.e. almost all shutters that adjoin each other, a small strip transverse 17 (Figures 1 to 4) corresponding to the edge of the foot flap 3c remaining bonded to the outer face of the head flap 3b.

Des modifications ou améliorations peuvent évidemment être prévues.Modifications or improvements can obviously be planned.

Par exemple, une encoche de préhension (découpage) peut être imaginée sur la partie 16 de la bande 12, comme schématisée en 16' sur les dessins.For example, a grip notch (cutting) can be imagined on part 16 of strip 12, as shown in 16 'on the drawings.

En outre et notamment, la bande 12 peut être détachable complètement d'un bord à l'autre, la ligne de détachement 5' peut être interrompue au niveau de la partie 16 de la bande 12, seule l'une des zones de colle 8' ou 10' peut être interrompue s'il faut, pour obtenir un collage, avoir deux zones de colle superposées.In addition and in particular, the strip 12 can be completely detachable from one edge to the other, the detachment line 5 'can be interrupted at part 16 of strip 12, only one of the 8 'or 10' glue zones can be interrupted if necessary, to obtain a collage, have two zones of glue superimposed.
