Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding device manual including a sheet of paper according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the device disclosed in DE-OS-43 05 718 includes two elements, a seat on which the sheet to fold is installed and a rectangular plate that can pivot around hinges arranged along a longitudinal end of the seat, this plate can be folded down on said leaf.
  • the sheet is folded around the edges of the plate orthogonal to the hinges, when the plate is in the state turned down. This means that the direction of the folds is not alternated (so is not an accordion), which is a drawback, since alternate folding is preferred when planned put the folded stationery in an envelope aforementioned genre.
  • Another device described in US-5,380,265, is consisting, on the one hand, of a rectangular seat having three concave cutouts, guides and four feet rectangular, and, on the other hand, a plate extending partially on the seat and passing through a slot in one of the two guides.
  • the sheet to be folded is placed on the seat and under the plate, whose edges are chamfered to allow folding.
  • the latter process is fairly equivalent to that shown in the prior art DE-OS-43 05 718.
  • US-4,421,500 is in the form of a triptych whose three elements are connected from below by a elastic sheet exerting a recall action, like a spring to allow the flaps that includes the triptych to automatically resume their position initial when the folding operation is completed.
  • the device also includes lateral guides or stops for the correct installation of the sheet of paper to be folded on the triptych. Said sheet is placed in a determined manner on the triptych thanks to complementary elements, so to be able to make the folds in the desired places.
  • the disadvantages of the known devices are three kinds. First, being made up of a number more or less important of different mechanical elements such as hinges, feet, etc. and elements with conformations relatively complex, the manufacturing cost of these devices is too high. Then they occupy, by their very design, a fairly large place on the table on which they must be laid for the execution of folding operations. Finally, the folding mode is such that, in most cases, the manipulations are not very easy.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and, in addition, to facilitate the insertion of the sheet folded in the envelope.
  • the device proposed is designed so that it can serve advantageously of support on which one can make appear, for example, a name or any other denomination or representation.
  • the element 100 which is the subject of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is a support having, over a length, a notch whose profile is V-shaped, faces 103, 104 and edge common 120 (FIG. 2) at least one of these faces extending by a contiguous surface so as to form with the latter an edge 111 or 112, on the function of which - like that of edge 120 - we will come back (said contiguous surface possibly comprising at a distance of the edge 111 (or 112) of the cutouts or openings).
  • the support is advantageously present in the form of a double prism straight 101, 102, with triangular sections, these triangles preferably being equilateral or isosceles.
  • the angle formed by the branches of the V (which we will designate, for simplicity, by the same references as those of the faces 103 and 104), can be more or less open, as will be understood through the presentation of the folding operation.
  • Prism 101 has a pair of two identical plates 105, 109 (the outer face of the plate 109 bearing the reference 107) assembled so as to form an edge 111, a pair of two identical plates 106, 110 (the outer face of the plate 110 carrying the reference 108) joined together so as to form an edge 112, and a common base 130 forming a base.
  • the notch in shape of V resulting from this conformation extends on both sides and else along the entire length of the support. This length is determined according to the dimensions of the sheets of paper to fold. Thus, if the privileged field of application of device is folding across the width of A4 sheets, especially letter paper, before inserting these in their respective envelopes, the length chosen will be at least 210 mm.
  • the length of at least one of the branches of the V mentioned more top is defined according to the line along which it is planned to fold a sheet according to a certain standard, Depending on the construction variant chosen, the length of the other branch can be arbitrary or preferably meet another folding standard.
  • the elements of the support 100 can be made of any material, such as plastic (transparent or colored), wood, metal.
  • plastic transparent or colored
  • wood metal.
  • the above elements will be as many pieces detached, all of extremely simple conformation (parallelepipedic plates), called to be assembled according to known and current means (such as bonding or removable assembly) to form the double prism shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the means are distributed along the joints respective, for example at the places referenced 113; 114; 115; 116, 117, 118.
  • Figure 3 is a partial section according to a trace plane III-III symbolized in FIG.
  • the fixing is of the pressure type comprising a bore 113 B practiced in plate 105 and in which can engage elastic an anchor 113 A secured to the plate 109.
  • a notch (not shown) can be provided to facilitate disassembly by releasing the ankle from its housing, by example using a screwdriver.
  • a screwdriver can be provided to facilitate disassembly by releasing the ankle from its housing, by example using a screwdriver.
  • the variant of the production of the support 100 in several removable parts offer the advantage of being able to mount on the base 130 of pairs of plates 105, 109; 106, 110 adapted folding a sheet meeting a given standard and separate them from the base to arrange others, with different dimensions, suitable for folding a sheet according to another standard.
  • the manufacturing variant support 1 piece does not offer this flexibility, but on the other hand is cheaper.
  • the second element 200 of the device is a clip with two flaps or flaps 201, 202.
  • This clamp preferably consists of a folded sheet of opaque, transparent plastic or translucent, slightly rigid and elastic, tending to maintain itself, in the absence of constraints on one or / and the other of the flaps 201, 202 in an open position limited angular (for example ten or twenty degrees) around the folding edge 203. It thus forms, profile view, a V.
  • the branches of this V we will adopt the same references as those of the shutters correspondents, i.e. 201 and 202.
  • the branches of the V 201, 202 of the clamp 200 preferably have the same length, this determining the line along which must be made a first folding (this length corresponding to the width of a flap, i.e. at the distance between the edge 203 and the edge 211 (or 212)).
  • the flap 201 has frames (or cartridges or windows) rectangular 205, 206. If the material in which the clamp 200 is formed is opaque, these frames will consist of cutouts made in said Rabat. If the material is transparent or translucent, the choice is allowed, the frames 205, 206 can consist, there also, in cutouts, but can just as easily be simply materialized by marking, each time, four corners of the rectangle. Furthermore, in the area median of the edge 203 of the clamp 200 is fixed a tongue 207. This tongue can also result from a cutout 208 made in one of the flaps 201 or 202. From opposite side, each of the two flaps 201, 202 has a cut out 209. We will come back to these special features later.
  • FIG. 4 also shows, opposite the clamp 200, the upper part of a sheet of 400 letter paper, one privileged application of the device consisting in the folding sheets of this type.
  • a header symbolized by four lines.
  • the folding operation executed by the implementation combined with the support 100 and the clamp 200, can be broken down into several stages which will be explained below, in support of Figures 5 and 6 and on the example of writing paper shown in Figure 4.
  • the sheet 400 is introduced into the clamp 200, so that the upper edge 403 of said sheet comes into abutment against the edge 203 of the clamp ( Figure 4, arrow A 1) and that the flap 201 is opposite from the front of sheet 400 (written part), the part top of the back coming to rest on the flap 202.
  • the recipient address listed in the box 405 will be visible through the frame 205 of the clamp. In in other words, frames 205 and 405 will be superimposed, from less approximately.
  • the set 200, 400 is taken between the two hands, the latter applying the flaps 201, 202 against each other, as shown in the arrows A 2, A 3, the sheet 400 thus being clamped in the clamp 200.
  • Profile views, the clamp and the part of the sheet inserted therein then practically merge at the same time.
  • the clamp 200 has been left very slightly open in order to show, indicating the reference of the faces 201, 202 and of the corresponding edges 211, 212, the position and orientation in which is held said assembly 200, 400 relative to the support 100.
  • the assembly 200, 400 is then chased into the bottom of the V 103, 104 of the support, which is symbolized in FIG.
  • This set 200 - 400 then presents, seen in profile, the configuration shown in Figure 8, where we have voluntarily separated each representative line, on the one hand, the flaps 201, 202 of the clamp 200 and, on the other hand, sheet 400, so as to highlight the accordion folding done, sheet layout thus bent relative to the clamp 200 and the position of the clamp 200 - sheet 400 assembly before introduction into an envelope.
