Definitions

  • the invention relates to a document protection device as well than to a process for manufacturing such a device.
  • document protection devices consisting of a closed, flexible plastic or similar quadrangular pocket on three of its sides and having an opening, generally greater, for the introduction of the document.
  • the device On one of the lateral sides, the device generally has a perforated strip to facilitate its classification.
  • Such a device although effective in terms of protection, has the disadvantage of making it difficult to introduce the document, which must in particular have a certain rigidity for be able to be fully introduced.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a document protection device which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and which combines the advantages of each of the known devices, namely ease of document introduction and correct maintenance of the document once introduced.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a document protection device which has good resistance to use, and in particular with the tearing off as well as a method of manufacturing such a device which is easy to implement.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for manufacturing a document protection device which is easily adaptable to current manufacturing machines, which therefore does not not affect the cost of the finished product.
  • the invention relates first of all to a document protection device, consisting of at least one flexible plastic bag or the like, quadrangular, having at least a first opening on one of the sides and a second adjacent partial opening on one of the sides adjacent to said first opening characterized in that said second opening ends with a longitudinal notch to prevent tearing from the unopened area on the side of the corresponding pocket.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a document protection device, consisting of at least one plastic pocket flexible or similar, quadrangular, having at least a first opening on one of the sides, and a second adjacent, partial opening on one of the sides adjacent to said first opening, in which the next steps: forming a continuous sleeve of plastic material flexible or similar, which is flattened on itself to form two sides opposite sides of the quadrangular pocket, cut and welded transversely said continuous sleeve to respectively constitute said first opening and the opposite fourth side closed, said method being characterized in that the sleeve is formed from a sheet folded over itself and whose free edges are partially welded together, said second opening being formed at said free edges by the area not welded.
  • the invention relates to a document protection device and a method of manufacturing such a device.
  • the document protection device 1; 11; 21; 31; 41 is at least constituted a pocket 2; 12; 22; 32; 42 formed in particular of flexible plastic or similar, and usually quadrangular.
  • the pocket present at minus a first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43 on one side of the pocket and which in the case of the figures constitutes an upper opening.
  • the pocket 2; 12; 22; 32; 42 further comprises a second adjacent opening 4; 14; 24; 34; 44 partial, on one of the sides adjacent to said first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43.
  • each device or more precisely each pocket of each device, can be wide open, like the corner pockets, especially by the right, or by the left as the case may be.
  • Said unopened area 7, 17; 27; 37; 47 presents, in particular, a weld, coming, for example, from the method of obtaining the pocket from a folded sheet.
  • said second opening partial is provided over the great length, the closed part having a dimension for example between 3 and 15 cm.
  • pocket 2; 22 present laterally, at the level on one of its sides, a perforated strip 8; 28 intended to facilitate the binding of several devices 1; 21.
  • the document protection device may have a plurality of pockets gathered together on at least one of their lateral sides, in order to constitute a type of binding notebook.
  • said pocket has, as mentioned more top, a weld at said unopened area 7; 17; 27; 37; 47 it it is preferable to be able to spare said weld during opening.
  • said second opening partial adjacent 4; 24; 34. 44 can be terminated by a notch 9; 29; 39; 49 to avoid tearing of the unopened area 7; 27; 37; 47 of side of the corresponding pocket.
  • said notches 39; 49 have, for example, a longitudinal shape.
  • said notch 39; 49 is oriented, advantageously, along the median relative to the side BC of the triangle ABC.
  • these anti-tearing means are constituted, as shown for example in the embodiment of Figure 4 by a leave 19 making it possible to avoid the localized constraints at the level of the connection of opening 14 and unopened area respectively identified 17. Such leave, possibly placed elsewhere, may also facilitate the opening of the pocket.
  • stop means 81 complementary to the documents, at the level of the part bottom of the pocket, upstream of the unopened area 47.
  • these means 81 can be constituted by a partial weld zone 82 as shown in FIG. 8, provided substantially in the extension of the partial open area 44.
  • the documents are blocked at the bottom and the opening 44 is further reinforced by the notch 49, or other, connecting the open area 44 and not open 47, avoiding to locate the force on the weld when the poached.
  • the space 80 left free between said partial weld 82 and said unopened area 47 may constitute, in particular, a housing for label.
  • a continuous sleeve is formed of a flexible plastic material or the like, which is flattened on itself to constitute the two opposite lateral sides of the quadrangular pocket, then cutting and welding transversely said continuous sleeve to constitute respectively said first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43; 53 and the fourth opposite side closed 5; 15; 25; 35; 45; 55.
  • the sleeve is formed from a sheet folded in on itself and whose free edges are welded together partially.
  • This technique has the advantage of being more suitable for the choice of dimensions, since the same sheet can be cut out according to any ribs, unlike techniques more often used according to previously known methods because they have the advantage of offering increased resistance, especially at the side edges since it is not no need for soldering.
  • Said second opening 4; 14; 24 is formed implicitly, at the free edges of the folded sheet, by the non-welded area.
  • a double weld can be provided, as illustrated in the figure 2, or a simple weld, as illustrated in FIG. 3, which then constitutes common way maintaining the perforated strip and the unopened area of the second opening side.
  • a weld is made on both sides a strip 28 provided, at one of the sides 26 of said pocket 22, between each of the faces of said pocket 22 and said strip 28 and said perforated pocket 22.
