Abstract

Le dispositif de pliage manuel notamment d'une feuille de papier (400) destinée à être insérée dans une enveloppe, comprend, d'une part, un premier élément sous forme de support présentant sur une longueur une entaille à deux faces (103,104) dont le profil est en forme de V, l'intersection de ces deux faces (103,104) formant une arête (120), au moins l'une des faces (103,104) se prolongeant par une surface contiguë (107;108) de sorte à former avec cette dernière une arête (111;112), et, d'autre part, un second élément sous forme de pince (200) présentant deux rabats (201,202) dont le profil est en forme de V, ces rabats pouvant être appliqués l'un contre l'autre autour d'une arête pour retenir la feuille de papier (400) après que celle-ci y ait été insérée. Les pliages résultent de l'action combinée des premier et second éléments, ces derniers étant par ailleurs autonomes l'un de l'autre. Un premier pliage procède de l'application des bords (211,212) de la pince, ces bords venant pratiquement se confondre et pinçant ladite feuille, contre l'arête (120) du V du support. Un deuxième pliage peut résulter de l'action d'une arête (111;112), la feuille étant rabattue autour de cette dernière. Selon une exécution préférée, le support (100) se présente sous la forme d'un double prisme (101,102).

The device for manual folding, in particular of a sheet of paper (400) intended to be inserted in an envelope, comprises, on the one hand, a first element in the form of a support having on a length a notch with two faces (103, 104) of which the profile is V-shaped, the intersection of these two faces (103,104) forming an edge (120), at least one of the faces (103,104) extending by a contiguous surface (107; 108) so as to form with the latter an edge (111; 112), and, on the other hand, a second element in the form of clamp (200) having two flaps (201,202) whose profile is V-shaped, these flaps can be applied the one against the other around an edge to retain the sheet of paper (400) after it has been inserted therein. The folds result from the combined action of the first and second elements, the latter being moreover independent of one another. A first folding proceeds from the application of the edges (211, 212) of the clamp, these edges coming practically to merge and pinching said sheet, against the edge (120) of the V of the support. A second folding can result from the action of an edge (111; 112), the sheet being folded around the latter. According to a preferred embodiment, the support (100) is in the form of a double prism (101,102).
