Abstract

The envelope (1) is made from three sections. It has a front face (2) and a base face (3) that is positioned opposite the front face to form a storage pocket with an insertion opening, and a foldable flap (4) that closes the insertion opening. An attachment tab (7) is connected top one of the three parts to attach the envelope before it is used to an external support. To use the envelope in its assembled form it must be detached from its attachment tab.

Description

La présente invention est relative à une enveloppe ou pochette.The present invention relates to an envelope or pocket.

On connaít notamment d'après le GB-A-2 260 531, des enveloppes ou pochettes qui sont essentiellement constituées de trois parties constitutives, à savoir, une face avant et une face de fond mutuellement opposées de manière à former une poche de stockage de documents qui présente une ouverture d'insertion des documents d'une part, et un volet rabattable de fermeture de ladite ouverture venu de matière avec la face avant d'autre part, au moins une patte d'accrochage étant venue de matière avec l'une des trois parties constitutives de l'enveloppe pour solidariser l'enveloppe, avant son utilisation, à un support extérieur.We know in particular from GB-A-2 260 531, envelopes or sleeves which are essentially made up of three constituent parts, namely, a front face and a mutually opposite bottom face so as to form a document storage pocket that has a opening to insert documents on the one hand, and a shutter folding closing of said opening made of material with the front side on the other hand, at least one leg attachment having come in one piece with one of the three constituent parts of the envelope to secure the envelope, before use, to an external support.

Même si de telles enveloppes peuvent être aisément détachées de leurs pattes d'accrochage, la structure de ces enveloppes est assez peu résistante et la réalisation des pattes d'accrochage entraíne une perte de matière importante.Even if such envelopes can be easily detached from their hanging tabs, the structure of these envelopes is not very resistant and the realization of hanging tabs causes loss of material important.

L'invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus et ce, par un moyen simple et efficace.The object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above and this, by a simple and effective means.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, une enveloppe du type précité est essentiellement caractérisée en ce que la face avant est venue de matière avec la face de fond et deux pattes latérales, la face de fond étant rabattue sur les deux pattes latérales elles-mêmes repliées vers l'intérieur de la poche, en ce que la patte d'accrochage est venue de matière avec la face de fond en regard de l'une des pattes latérales de la face avant, et en ce que la patte d'accrochage est détachable de sorte qu'après arrachement, l'enveloppe est utilisée sous sa forme intègre.To this end, according to the invention, an envelope of the aforementioned type is essentially characterized in that the front side came in one piece with the bottom side and two side tabs, the bottom face being folded over the two side tabs themselves folded inwards pocket, in that the hooking tab came from material with the bottom face opposite one of the legs side of the front panel, and that the tab attachment is detachable so that after tearing, the envelope is used in its integral form.

Ainsi, l'enveloppe selon la présente invention peut être immobilisée sur tout support, y compris sur d'autres enveloppes, par l'intermédiaire d'une ou plusieurs pattes d'accrochage, tout en étant réalisée en minimisant les pertes de matière et, après détachement de la patte d'accrochage, en reprenant la forme conventionnelle d'enveloppe, prête à être utilisée.Thus, the envelope according to the present invention can be immobilized on any support, including other envelopes, via one or more tabs while being carried out while minimizing the loss of material and, after detaching the tab attachment, using the conventional form envelope, ready to use.

L'enveloppe suivant l'invention peut éventuellement comporter en outre une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • la patte d'accrochage est venue de matière avec un bord latéral de la face de fond ;
  • la patte d'accrochage est désolidarisable de la face de fond selon une ligne d'affaiblissement, ménagée le long de l'un des bords latéraux de la face de fond ;
  • une deuxième patte d'accrochage est venue de matière avec un deuxième bord latéral de la face de fond opposé au premier bord latéral ;
  • l'enveloppe est insérée dans un emballage, l'ensemble étant perforé au niveau de la patte d'accrochage pour être suspendu à un moyen de suspension. L'enveloppe peut ainsi être suspendue à un présentoir pour en faciliter l'utilisation ou la vente ;
  • deux fenêtres translucides sont portées par la face avant et la face de fond ; et
  • une fenêtre translucide s'étend depuis la face avant jusque sur la face de fond.
The envelope according to the invention may optionally also include one or more of the following characteristics:
  • the hooking tab has come integrally with a lateral edge of the bottom face;
  • the hooking lug can be detached from the bottom face along a line of weakness, formed along one of the lateral edges of the bottom face;
  • a second hooking tab has come in one piece with a second lateral edge of the bottom face opposite the first lateral edge;
  • the envelope is inserted in a package, the assembly being perforated at the hooking tab to be suspended from a suspension means. The envelope can thus be hung on a display to facilitate its use or sale;
  • two translucent windows are carried by the front face and the bottom face; and
  • a translucent window extends from the front face to the bottom face.

La présente invention a également pour objet un ensemble d'enveloppes comprenant un empilement d'enveloppes telles que définies ci-dessus, les pattes d'accrochage des enveloppes successives étant rendues solidaires les unes des autres. Ainsi, les enveloppes peuvent être vendues sous forme de carnets à partir desquels elles sont détachées une à une sans que les enveloppes restantes ne s'éparpillent.The present invention also relates to a set of envelopes comprising a stack of envelopes as defined above, the attachment tabs of the successive envelopes being joined together other. Envelopes can therefore be sold under form of notebooks from which they are detached a to one without the remaining envelopes scattering.

De préférence, les pattes d'accrochage sont rendues solidaires les unes des autres par collage.Preferably, the hanging tabs are made joined to each other by bonding.

De manière avantageuse encore, l'ensemble comprend en outre un fond rigide et une couverture souple.Advantageously still, the set includes in addition a rigid bottom and a flexible cover.

La présente invention a en outre pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'enveloppes telles que définies ci-dessus, le procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à ;

  • découper la forme développée de l'enveloppe, y compris la patte d'accrochage, dans une feuille de matériau ; et
  • plier et rabattre la face de fond sur la face avant pour former la poche de stockage.
The present invention further relates to a method of manufacturing envelopes as defined above, the method comprising the steps of;
  • cut the developed shape of the envelope, including the hanging tab, from a sheet of material; and
  • fold and fold the bottom side over the front side to form the storage pocket.

Un exemple de réalisation de l'invention va maintenant être décrit en regard des dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une enveloppe développée selon la présente invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan de l'enveloppe de la figure 1 après pliage et collage ;

An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a top view of an envelope developed according to the present invention;
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the envelope of Figure 1 after folding and gluing;

  • FIGS. 7 and 8 are plan views on a reduced scale of variants of the envelope of FIG. 3.

L'enveloppe 1 selon la présente invention et représentée à la figure 1 est essentiellement constituée de trois parties : une face avant 2, une face de fond 3 et un volet rabattable 4. Ces trois parties constitutives 2, 3 et 4 sont venues de matière ensemble, par exemple dans une feuille de papier, ou dans une feuille cartonnée ou bien encore dans tout autre matériau. Dans la description ci-après, on fait référence à une enveloppe, mais on peut également appliquer l'invention à une pochette qui se différencie de l'enveloppe par l'emplacement de l'ouverture d'insertion de documents ou d'objets.The envelope 1 according to the present invention and shown in Figure 1 consists essentially of three parts: a front face 2, a bottom face 3 and a folding shutter 4. These three constituent parts 2, 3 and 4 came together, for example in a sheet of paper, or in a cardboard sheet or else still in any other material. In the description below, we are referring to an envelope, but we can also apply the invention to a pocket which differentiates from the envelope by the location of the opening insertion of documents or objects.

Le volet rabattable 4 est situé sur un premier bord longitudinal 12 de la face avant 2 opposé à un deuxième bord longitudinal 13 de cette face à partir duquel s'étend la face de fond 3. Ce volet rabattable est sensiblement de forme trapézoïdale.The flap 4 is located on a first edge longitudinal 12 of the front face 2 opposite a second edge longitudinal 13 of this face from which extends the bottom face 3. This folding flap is substantially trapezoidal shape.

La face avant 2 est en outre venue de matière avec deux pattes latérales 5 et 6. Ces deux pattes latérales sont sensiblement de forme trapézoïdale et s'étendent de part et d'autre de la face avant 2, suivant ses deux bords latéraux 14 et 15.The front face 2 is furthermore integrally formed with two side legs 5 and 6. These two side legs are substantially trapezoidal in shape and extend on either side and on the other side of the front face 2, along its two lateral edges 14 and 15.

L'un des trois bords libres de la face de fond 3 se prolonge par une patte d'accrochage 7.One of the three free edges of the bottom face 3 is extended by a lug 7.

De préférence, cette patte d'accrochage 7 est venue de matière avec la face de fond 3, suivant l'un 16 de ses deux bords latéraux 16 et 17, pour être en regard de l'une des pattes latérales 5, 6 de la face avant 2. Le bord latéral 16 est de manière avantageuse constitué par une ligne d'affaiblisse-ment 8, délimitant ainsi la face de fond 3 de la patte d'accrochage 7.Preferably, this hooking tab 7 has come of material with the bottom face 3, along one of its 16 two side edges 16 and 17, to be opposite one side tabs 5, 6 of the front face 2. The edge side 16 is advantageously constituted by a weakening line 8, thus delimiting the bottom face 3 of the hanging tab 7.

La face avant 2 et la face de fond 3 sont sensiblement de forme rectangulaire, la surface de la face de fond 3 étant inférieure à celle de la face avant 2.The front face 2 and the bottom face 3 are substantially rectangular in shape, the surface of the face bottom 3 being less than that of the front face 2.

Le procédé de fabrication de l'enveloppe 1 consiste à découper, à partir d'une bobine ou d'une feuille de papier, la forme développée de l'enveloppe telle que représentée à la figure 1. Cette découpe est réalisée à l'aide de couteaux rotatifs ou d'emporte-pièces, seule la ligne d'affaiblissement 8 est réalisée à l'aide d'un couteau latéral spécial dans lequel une portion du tranchant a été remplacée par un pointillé. On constate ainsi que la présence de la patte d'accrochage 7 n'entraíne pas de dépense de matière supérieure à une enveloppe classique puisque cette patte est inscrite dans la laize de la bobine ou dans la largeur de la feuille nécessaire à la réalisation de la face avant 2 et des deux pattes latérales 5 et 6.The manufacturing process of the envelope 1 consists to cut, from a reel or a sheet of paper, the developed form of the envelope such as shown in Figure 1. This cut is made at using rotary knives or cookie cutters, only weakening line 8 is made with a knife special side in which a portion of the cutting edge has been replaced by a dotted line. We thus see that the presence of the lug 7 does not cause material expenditure greater than a conventional envelope since this tab is inscribed in the width of the coil or in the width of the sheet necessary for the realization of the front face 2 and of the two lateral tabs 5 and 6.

La réalisation de l'enveloppe consiste ensuite à replier les deux pattes latérales 5 et 6 ainsi que la face de fond 3 sur la face avant 2, puis à solidariser par collage la face de fond 3 sur les deux pattes latérales 5 et 6. On forme ainsi une poche de stockage 20 de documents présentant une ouverture d'insertion 21 en regard du volet rabattable 4.The realization of the envelope then consists in fold back the two side tabs 5 and 6 as well as the face bottom 3 on the front face 2, then to be joined by bonding the bottom face 3 on the two side tabs 5 and 6. A document storage pocket 20 is thus formed having an insertion opening 21 opposite the flap folding 4.

De manière connue en soi, le volet rabattable 4 porte une bande adhésive protégée par une languette arrachable 10. Cette languette 10 est destinée à être retirée lorsque l'on veut fermer l'enveloppe par le volet rabattable 4. En variante, le volet rabattable 4 peut être gommé, autocollant ou bien encore n'avoir subi aucun traitement.In a manner known per se, the folding flap 4 wears an adhesive strip protected by a tab detachable 10. This tab 10 is intended to be removed when you want to close the envelope by the flap folding 4. Alternatively, the folding flap 4 can be gummed, sticker or have not undergone any treatment.

L'enveloppe 1 précédemment décrite peut être, grâce à sa patte d'accrochage 7, fixée sur n'importe quel support extérieur par des techniques de fixation classique telles que l'agrafage, le piquage, la reliure, le rivetage, le brochage, la perforation ou bien encore le collage. Dans ce dernier cas, la patte d'accrochage 7 porte une zone encollée 22 sur l'une de ses faces (figure 2).The envelope 1 previously described can be, thanks to its hooking lug 7, fixed on any support exterior by conventional fastening techniques such that stapling, stitching, binding, riveting, broaching, perforation or even collage. In this last case, the fastening tab 7 carries a glued area 22 on one of its faces (Figure 2).

L'enveloppe utilisée possède, après avoir retiré la patte d'accrochage, une forme intègre identique à n'importe quelle enveloppe classique, c'est à dire que la face de fond 3 reprend sa forme d'origine, les bords latéraux 16 et 17 étant collés sur les pattes latérales 5 et 6, en retrait par rapport aux bords de la face avant 2, délimitant ainsi une poche de stockage classique.The envelope used has, after removing the hooking lug, an integral shape identical to any what a classic envelope, that is to say that the bottom face 3 returns to its original shape, the lateral edges 16 and 17 being glued on the lateral legs 5 and 6, set back by compared to the edges of the front face 2, thus delimiting a classic storage pocket.

En variante, une deuxième patte d'accrochage peut venir de matière avec la face de fond 3, suivant le bord latéral 17 opposé au bord latéral 16 portant la première patte d'accrochage 7.As a variant, a second hooking tab can come in one piece with the bottom face 3, along the edge lateral 17 opposite the lateral edge 16 carrying the first hanging tab 7.

Une première utilisation plus particulièrement intéressante consiste à, comme cela est représenté à la figure 4, former des groupes d'enveloppes 11 en réalisant un empilement d'enveloppes 1 qui sont solidarisées les unes aux autres par leurs pattes d'accrochage 7.A first use more particularly interesting is to, as shown in the Figure 4, forming groups of envelopes 11 by making a stack of envelopes 1 which are secured to each other others by their attachment tabs 7.

Lorsque l'on veut utiliser une enveloppe faisant partie d'un groupe d'enveloppes ainsi rassemblées, il suffit alors d'exercer une traction sur celle-ci pour désolidariser cette enveloppe de sa patte d'accrochage 7 le long de la ligne d'affaiblissement 8. La patte d'accrochage 7 de l'enveloppe utilisée reste solidaire de la souche constituée avec les autres pattes d'accrochage 7 du restant des enveloppes 1.When you want to use an envelope part of a group of envelopes thus gathered, it suffices then to exert a traction on this one to dissociate this envelope of its hooking tab 7 along the weakening line 8. The hooking tab 7 of the envelope used remains integral with the strain formed with the other fastening tabs 7 of the rest of the envelopes 1.

De plus, un marquage de la patte détachable 7 et de l'enveloppe correspondante permet d'obtenir la traçabilité de cette enveloppe lors de son utilisation.In addition, a marking of the detachable tab 7 and of the corresponding envelope provides traceability of this envelope when in use.

En variante, on comprend que la patte d'accrochage 7 peut être par exemple située dans le prolongement du volet rabattable 4, à l'opposé de la face avant 2.As a variant, it is understood that the attachment tab 7 can for example be located in the extension of the shutter folding 4, opposite the front face 2.

Une deuxième utilisation avantageuse de l'enveloppe décrite en regard des figures 1 à 3 consiste à réaliser, à l'aide de telles enveloppes, des carnets d'enveloppes 30 tels que celui représenté à la figure 5 et comportant un fond rigide 31 relié à une couverture souple 32. Les enveloppes sont alors solidarisées avec le fond 31 et la couverture 32 comme décrit ci-dessus. Après utilisation, les pattes d'accrochage 7 forment un talon qui reste fixé avec le fond et la couverture.A second advantageous use of the envelope described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 consists in producing, at using such envelopes, 30 envelope notebooks such as that shown in Figure 5 and having a rigid bottom 31 connected to a flexible cover 32. The envelopes are then secured to the bottom 31 and the cover 32 as described above. After use, hooking tabs 7 form a heel which remains fixed with the background and cover.

Une autre utilisation préférée de l'enveloppe suivant l'invention est représentée à la figure 6 et consiste à réaliser un sachet 40 comprenant une enveloppe 1 telle que celle décrite en regard des figures 1 à 3, qui est logée dans un film thermoplastique 41 servant de protection. Le film 41 et l'enveloppe 1 sont perforés en correspondance en un point 42 de la patte d'accrochage 7 afin d'être suspendus à un crochet d'une gondole par exemple. L'enveloppe peut ainsi vendue à l'unité sans subir d'altération de son état.Another preferred use of the envelope according to the invention is shown in Figure 6 and consists in making a bag 40 comprising an envelope 1 such as that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, which is housed in a thermoplastic film 41 serving as protection. The film 41 and the envelope 1 are perforated in correspondence at a point 42 of the hanging tab 7 in order to be hanging on a hook of a gondola for example. The envelope can thus be sold individually without suffering alteration of his condition.

La figure 7 montre encore une autre utilisation de l'enveloppe suivant l'invention. Cette enveloppe possède une ou plusieurs fenêtres translucides 50 qui sont portées par la face avant 2 et/ou la face de fond 3. La patte d'accrochage 7 est perforée en 51. Cette enveloppe peut ainsi être suspendue à un présentoir et le contenu est visible de l'extérieur. En variante, les fenêtres 50 peuvent être réunies pour former une seule fenêtre continue 55 (figure 8) qui s'étend depuis la face avant 2 jusque sur la face de fond 3, en passant par le bord longitudinal 13. En face avant, la fenêtre 55 se prolonge jusqu'au niveau du volet rabattable 4 par une extrémité 55a.Figure 7 shows yet another use of the envelope according to the invention. This envelope has a or more translucent windows 50 which are carried by the front face 2 and / or the bottom face 3. The tab attachment 7 is perforated at 51. This envelope can well be hung on a display stand and the content is visible from the outside. Alternatively, the windows 50 can come together to form a single continuous window 55 (Figure 8) which extends from the front face 2 to the bottom face 3, passing through the longitudinal edge 13. At front face, the window 55 extends to the level of the folding shutter 4 by one end 55a.

Dans d'autres variantes encore, une ou plusieurs enveloppes 1 peuvent être insérée dans une revue en étant par exemple brochées par leur patte d'accrochage au niveau de la reliure de ladite revue. Ceci permet de poster un coupon réponse également logé dans la revue. La patte d'accrochage peut par ailleurs être punaisée ou agrafée sur tout type de support.In still other variants, one or more envelopes 1 can be inserted into a journal by being for example, stapled by their hooking tab at the level the binding of the said journal.
