The object of the invention is to improve the known method and device to the effect that the cards can be secured easily and rapidly to the carrier without becoming unintentionally detached therefrom and such that they can easily be removed from the carrier without damaging it. According to the invention, an upper part (23) of the card-holder (21), which part overlaps the card, projects on at least one of its sides over its connection (27, 28) to the carrier (24) or to a lower part (22) of the card-holder such that this upper part (23) can be removed in order to release the card from the carrier (24) or the lower part (22).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Karten, insbesondere von Kredit-, Ausweis-, Mitgliedskarten u.dgl. auf einen Träger nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for applying Cards, in particular credit cards, ID cards, membership cards and the like on a carrier according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Um Karten, beispielsweise Kredit-, Ausweis-, Mitgliedskarten o. dgl. an Kartenempfänger, Kunden etc. zu versenden, ist es seit längerem bekannt, die Karte auf einem Träger, beispielsweise einem Papierbogen, der das Anschreiben an den Kunden trägt, lösbar zu befestigen. Diese Befestigung wird durch Einbringen der Karte in Schlitze, welche im Papier parallel zu den Begrenzungskanten der Karte vorgesehen sind, bewerkstelligt.To cards, such as credit, ID, membership cards or the like to card recipients, customers, etc. send, it has been known for a long time, the card on a carrier, for example a sheet of paper, which the Cover letter to the customer carries, attachable detachable. This attachment is done by inserting the card in Slits in the paper parallel to the boundary edges the card are provided.

Nachteilig bei dieser Art der Kartenbefestigung ist, daß die Karte in verhältnismäßig aufwendiger und umständlicher Weise in die im Papier vorgesehenen Aufnahmeschlitze eingebracht werden muß. Darüber hinaus besteht die Gefahr, daß die in die Schlitze eingebrachte Karte beim Falten des Papierbogens und beim Kuvertieren wieder aus den Schlitzen herausfällt. Hierdurch kann insbesondere beim automatischen Falten und Kuvertieren der Bögen ein Stau oder Stillstand entstehen. Schließlich kann die Karte auch beim Entnehmen des gefalteten Briefbogens aus dem Kuvert leicht aus den vorgesehenen Aufnahmeschlitzen herausfallen und dabei gewissermaßen dem Adressaten förmlich entgegenfallen.The disadvantage of this type of card attachment is that the card is relatively expensive and cumbersome in the ways provided in the paper Receiving slots must be introduced. Furthermore there is a risk that the inserted into the slots Card when folding the sheet of paper and inserting it falls out of the slots again. Hereby can be used especially for automatic folding and inserting jams or a standstill. Finally, the card can also be removed when the card is removed folded letter paper from the envelope slightly from the provided receiving slots fall out while doing so sort of literally towards the addressee.

Eine andere Befestigungsart von Karten auf einem Träger besteht darin, die Karten auf dem Träger aufzukleben. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß bei der Entnahme der Karte von dem Träger der Träger leicht zerstört wird. Another way of attaching cards to a carrier consists of sticking the cards on the carrier. However, this has the disadvantage that when the Card from the carrier the carrier is easily destroyed.

Aus der EP-A-0 494 080 ist ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Kartentasche bekannt, in die vorzugsweise medizinische Geräte eingeschlossen werden. Bei diesen Kartentaschen steht wenigstens ein oberer, das eingeschlossene Objekt überdeckender Teil der Kartentasche an wenigstens einer seiner Seiten so über seine Verbindung mit dem Träger über, daß er zur Freigabe des eingeschlossenen Objekts abgezogen werden kann.EP-A-0 494 080 also describes a method for Making a map case known in the preferably medical devices included become. There is at least one for these card cases upper part covering the enclosed object the map pocket on at least one of its sides about his connection with the carrier about that he is to Approval of the enclosed object subtracted can be.

Aus der EP-A-0 328 245 ist darüber hinaus ein Verfahren bekannt, bei dem Lebensmittel in eine auf einem Träger angeordnete Tasche eingeschlossen werden.A method is also known from EP-A-0 328 245 known to have food in one pocket arranged in a carrier become.

Problematisch bei den beiden letztgenannten Verfahren ist die präzise und schnelle Plazierung des Gegenstands auf dem Träger, so daß er auf optimale Weise in die herzustellende Tasche eingeschlossen werden kann.Problematic with the latter two methods is the precise and quick placement of the object on the carrier so that it is optimal be enclosed in the pocket to be manufactured can.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von Karten auf einen Träger der gattungsgemäßen Art derart weiterzubilden, daß die Karten auf einfache Weise schnell auf dem Träger, beispielsweise einem Papierbogen, derart lösbar befestigt werden können, daß sich die Karten beim Falten und beim Kuvertieren des Bogens und schließlich auch beim Entnehmen des gefalteten Bogens aus einen Briefumschlag nicht von dem Bogen lösen können. Hierdurch werden auch Staus bei einem kontinuierlichen, automatischen Falten und Kuvertieren vermieden. Außerdem soll die Karte leicht von dem Träger gelöst und weggenommen werden können, ohne daß dabei der Träger zerstört wird.The object of the invention is a method and Device for applying cards to one To further develop carriers of the generic type that the cards are quick and easy on the carrier, for example a sheet of paper, can be so releasably attached that the Cards when folding and inserting the sheet and finally when removing the folded one Sheet from an envelope not from the sheet to be able to solve. This also prevents traffic jams at one continuous, automatic folding and inserting avoided. In addition, the card should be easy from the carrier can be loosened and taken away without that the carrier is destroyed.

Die Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Karten auf einen Träger der eingangs beschriebenen Art durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The task is in an application process of cards on a carrier of the type described above Kind by the features of claim 1 solved.

Die Herstellung einer Bahn von hintereinanderliegenden, jeweils in eine Kartentasche eingeschlossenen Karten einer Kartentaschenbahn und das anschließende Verbinden jeweils einer Kartentasche der Kartentaschenbahn mit dem Träger hat den besonders großen Vorteil, daß die Karten schnell auf dem Träger befestigt werden können. The production of a web of consecutive, each enclosed in a map pocket Cards of a card pocket and the subsequent one Connect one card pocket each of the card pocket train with the carrier has the particularly large one Advantage that the cards quickly can be attached to the carrier.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen das Verfahrens sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche 2 bis 12.Advantageous refinements of the method are the subject of subclaims 2 to 12.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von Karten auf einen Träger nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 13.The invention further relates to a device for Applying cards to a carrier after the Preamble of claim 13.

Diesbezüglich liegt ihr die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu vermitteln, welche auf schnelle und einfache Weise das Aufbringen und lösbare Befestigen wenigstens einer Karte auf einem Träger in ästhetisch ansprechender Weise derart ermöglicht, daß die Karte ohne Zerstörung des Trägers wieder von diesem wegnehmbar ist.In this regard, it is based on the task, one To convey device, which on fast and easy application and detachable fastening at least one card on a support in aesthetic appealing way so that the card Removable from the carrier without destroying it is.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 13 gelöst. This task is accomplished by a device with the Features of claim 13 solved.

Das Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Karten auf einen Träger, beispielsweise Papier, läßt sich am besten in Verbindung mit einer Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens, wie sie schematisch in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, verdeutlichen.The process of applying cards to one Carrier, such as paper, is best found in Connection to an embodiment of the device to carry out this procedure as schematically is illustrated in Fig. 1 clarify.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, umfaßt eine Vorrichtung 1 zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zum Aufbringen von Karten auf einen Träger Umlenkrollen 4, 5, 6, 7, über die eine erste und eine zweite Endlosfolienbahn 2, 3 geführt sind. Die beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 werden vermittels der Umlenkrollen 5 an einer Stelle 8 zusammengeführt, an der eine erste Verbindungseinrichtung 10, beispielsweise eine Schweiß- oder Klebeeinrichtung, zur Verbindung der beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 miteinander angeordnet ist.As shown in FIG. 1, a device 1 to carry out the method of applying Cards on a support pulleys 4, 5, 6, 7, over the first and second continuous film webs 2, 3 are led. The two continuous film webs 2, 3 are by means of the deflection rollers 5 at a point 8 merged, at the first connection device 10, for example a welding or gluing device, for connecting the two continuous film webs 2, 3 is arranged with each other.

Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, werden die beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 von der ersten Verbindungseinrichtung 10 durch zwei Verbindungspunkte 15, welche von den beiden Rändern der Endlosbahnen 2,3 einen einstellbaren, auf eine Kartenbreite anpaßbaren Abstand aufweisen, miteinander verbunden. Dieser Abstand ist so bemessen, daß eine zwischen den Rändern der Endlosfolienbahnen mittig angeordnete Karte 12 mit einer ihrer Kanten parallel zu den beiden Verbindungspunkten 15 zur Anlage kommen kann.As shown in Fig. 2, the two continuous film webs 2, 3 from the first connection device 10 through two connection points 15, which of the an adjustable, two edges of the endless webs 2,3 distance adjustable to a card width have, connected to each other. This distance is like that dimensioned that one between the edges of the continuous film webs centrally located card 12 with one of them Edges parallel to the two connection points 15 Plant can come.

Nachdem die Verbindung der beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 in der beschriebenen Weise hergestellt wurde, wird von einer Kartenzuführeinrichtung 11, die beispielsweise mittig zwischen den Umlenkrollen 4, 6 und 5 angeordnet ist, eine Karte 12 an die Stelle 8 zugeführt. Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, kann die Karte 12 beispielsweise im freien Fall zwischen die beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 fallen. Die Karte 12 wird dabei so zwischen den beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 positioniert, daß eine ihrer Kanten parallel zu den beiden Verbindungspunkten 15 zur Anlage kommt (siehe Fig. 2).After the connection of the two continuous film webs 2, 3 was produced in the manner described from a card feeder 11, for example in the middle between the pulleys 4, 6 and 5 is arranged, a card 12 fed to the point 8. As shown in FIG. 1, the card 12 for example, in free fall between the two Continuous film webs 2, 3 fall. The card 12 will be there positioned between the two continuous film webs 2, 3, that one of its edges is parallel to the two Connection points 15 comes to the system (see Fig. 2).

Daraufhin werden die beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 unter Einschluß der Karte 12 um eine Kartenlänge weitertransportiert und sodann erneut miteinander verbunden, derart, daß die Karte 12 zwischen den beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 und innerhalb der vier, im wesentlichen benachbart zu den Karteneckpunkten angeordneten Verbindungspunkten 15 eingeschlossen ist, wobei die erste Endlosfolienbahn 2 einen ersten unteren Teil 22 und die zweite Endlosfolienbahn 3 einen zweiten oberen Teil 23 der Kartentasche bilden (siehe Fig. 1 und 2).Then the two continuous film webs 2, 3 including card 12 by one card length transported further and then again together connected such that the card 12 between the two Continuous film webs 2, 3 and within the four, in essentially adjacent to the map corner points arranged connection points 15 is included, the first continuous film web 2 having a first lower one Part 22 and the second endless film web 3 a second form the upper part 23 of the map pocket (see FIG. 1 and 2).

Sodann wird eine weitere Karte 12 von der Kartenzuführeinrichtung 11 in der beschriebenen Weise zugeführt und zwischen den beiden Endlosfolienbahnen 2, 3 positioniert, wobei die für die jeweils vorhergehende Karte erzeugte Verbindung gleichzeitig auch der darauffolgenden Karte dient. Auf diese Weise wird eine Kartentaschenbahn in Form von hintereinander angeordneten Kartentaschen 21 erzeugt, welche über eine Umlenkrolle 7 umgelenkt und einer zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung 17 zur Verbindung jeweils einer Kartentasche 21 mit dem Träger 24 zugeführt wird.Then another card 12 from the card feeder 11 in the manner described and positioned between the two continuous film webs 2, 3, being the one for the previous card generated connection at the same time the following Serves card. In this way, one Card pocket in the form of one behind the other Card pockets 21 generated, which over a Deflection roller 7 deflected and a second connecting device 17 for connecting a card pocket 21 is supplied with the carrier 24.

Die Umlenkrolle 7 weist vorzugsweise eine polygonale Gestalt auf, wobei eine Seitenfläche des Polygons in seinen Maßen den Maßen der Karte 12 entspricht, so daß jeweils eine in eine Kartentasche 21 eingeschlossene Karte 12 an einer Außenfläche des Polygons plan zur Anlage kommt und von der Umlenkrolle 7 ohne die Gefahr eines Bruchs oder einer sonstigen Zerstörung der Karte 12 umgelenkt wird.The deflection roller 7 preferably has a polygonal Shape, with one side surface of the polygon in its dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the card 12, so that one each enclosed in a card pocket 21 Map 12 on an outer surface of the polygon System comes and from the pulley 7 without the danger a break or other destruction of the card 12 is deflected.

Die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung 17 verbindet, beispielsweise durch Verklebung oder Verschweißung, jeweils eine Kartentasche 21 mit dem Träger 24. Nachdem diese Verbindung hergestellt wurde, wird die auf dem Träger 24 befestigte Kartentasche im wesentlichen um eine Kartenlänge weiterbewegt und von einer Schneideeinrichtung 18, die vorteilhafterweise mit der Verbindungseinrichtung 17 gekoppelt ist, von den anderen, in Form der Kartentaschenbahn hintereinanderliegend angeordneten Kartentaschen 21 abgetrennt.The second connecting device 17 connects, for example by gluing or welding, each a card pocket 21 with the carrier 24. After this connection has been made, the one on the Carrier 24 attached card pocket essentially around moved one card length and from a cutter 18, which advantageously with the connecting device 17 is coupled, from the others, one behind the other in the form of the card pocket arranged card pockets 21 separated.

Das auf diese Weise gewissermaßen getaktete Vorwärtsbewegen der Kartentaschenbahn um eine Kartenlänge hat den Vorteil, daß jeweils mit derselben Taktfrequenz einerseits die Karten 12 in der beschriebenen Weise zugeführt und in die Kartentasche 21 eingeschlossen, und andererseits jeweils eine, bereits auf dem Träger 24 befestigte Kartentasche 21 simultan dazu von den anderen in Form der Kartentaschenbahn hintereinanderliegenden Kartentaschen 21 abgetrennt werden können. Dadurch läßt sich in kurzer Zeit eine große Anzahl der auf einem Träger 24 befestigten, in jeweils eine Kartentasche 21 eingeschlossenen Karten 12 erzielen.Moving forward, so to speak, timed the card pocket has one card length the advantage that each with the same clock frequency on the one hand the cards 12 in the manner described fed and enclosed in the card pocket 21, and on the other hand one, already on the carrier 24 attached card pocket 21 simultaneously from the others lying one behind the other in the form of the card pocket Card pockets 21 can be separated. This allows a large number of attached to a support 24, in one Card pocket 21 achieve enclosed cards 12.

Wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, umfaßt die Vorrichtung des weiteren eine Trägerzuführeinrichtung 13, welche Umlenkrollen 14, 16 umfaßt, über die der Träger in Form einer Endlosträgerbahn umgelenkt und der Verbindungseinrichtung 17 zugeführt wird, derart, daß der Träger 24 unterhalb der Verbindungseinrichtung 17 und der Kartentaschenbahn sowie jeweils der auf dem Träger 24 zu befestigenden Kartentasche 21 verläuft.As is apparent from Fig. 1, the device of the another a carrier feed device 13, which Deflection pulleys 14, 16 includes, via which the carrier in shape an endless carrier rail deflected and the connecting device 17 is fed such that the carrier 24 below the connecting device 17 and the Card pocket and the respective one on the carrier 24 to be attached card pocket 21 runs.

Die Trägerzuführeinrichtung 13 kann wahlweise aber auch aus einer (nicht dargestellten) Einzelblattzuführung bestehen, welche einzelne Bögen zuführt.The carrier feed device 13 can optionally also from a single sheet feeder (not shown) exist which feeds single sheets.

Nachdem die Kartentasche 21 auf dem Träger 24 befestigt ist, wird der Träger 24 zusammen mit der auf ihm befestigten Kartentasche 21 weitertransportiert und im Falle der Endlosträgerbahn in einzelne Bögen zerschnitten, die daraufhin beispielsweise automatisch gefaltet und kuvertiert werden. Das Zuschneiden ist im Falle einer Einzelblattzuführung des Trägers 24 selbstverständlich nicht erforderlich, in diesem Falle werden die einzelnen Bögen zusammen mit den auf ihnen befestigten Kartentaschen 21 gefaltet und kuvertiert (nicht dargestellt).After the map pocket 21 is attached to the carrier 24 is, the carrier 24 along with that on it attached card pocket 21 transported and in Case of the endless carrier web cut into individual arches, then automatically for example folded and enveloped. The cropping is in the In the case of a single sheet feed of the carrier 24 of course not necessary in this case the individual arches along with those on them attached card pockets 21 folded and enveloped (not shown).

Wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, ist eine Kartentasche 21, bestehend aus einem ersten unteren Teil 22 und einem zweiten oberen Teil 23 mit einer zwischen diesen beiden Teilen 22, 23 eingeschlossenen Karte 12 derart auf dem Träger 24 befestigt, daß der obere Teil 23 an wenigstens einer seiner Seiten so über seine Verbindung 27, 28 mit dem Träger übersteht, daß ein überstehender Teil 26 leicht ergriffen, und so der zweite Teil 23 vom ersten Teil 22 abgezogen werden kann, wodurch die Karte 12 der Kartentasche 21 entnommen werden kann. Dabei ist die Verbindung 27 des oberen Teils 23 mit dem unteren Teil 22 weniger stark ausgebildet als die darunterliegende Verbindung 28 des unteren Teils 22 mit dem Träger 24. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, daß erstens beim Abziehen des oberen Teils 23 der untere Teil 22 zusammen mit dem oberen Teil 23 vom Träger 24 entfernt wird, und daß zweitens der Träger 24 beim Abziehen des oberen Teils 23 beispielsweise durch Zerreißen beschädigt wird.3, is a map pocket 21, consisting of a first lower part 22 and a second upper part 23 with one between these two Share 22, 23 enclosed card 12 so on the Carrier 24 attached that the upper part 23 at least one of his pages so about his connection 27, 28 withstands the carrier, that a protruding part 26 easily gripped, and so the second part 23 are subtracted from the first part 22 can, whereby the card 12 is removed from the card pocket 21 can be. The connection 27 is the upper one Part 23 formed with the lower part 22 less strong than the underlying connection 28 of the lower part 22 with the carrier 24. In this way prevents firstly when pulling off the top Part 23 of the lower part 22 together with the upper Part 23 is removed from the carrier 24, and that second the carrier 24 when pulling off the upper part 23 for example, is damaged by tearing.
