Definitions

  • the invention relates to a presentation folder for receiving a stack of sheets, a bound booklet and a method for incorporating a stack of sheets in a presentation folder with the features of the preambles of the independent claims.
  • folders are often used.
  • the binding of documents in such a folder is often carried out by means of a perforation of the documents to be introduced and a corresponding hole punching device within the folder.
  • the recording device can unintentionally loosen or open, as it is also inadvertently easily operated each time you open the presentation folder.
  • the receiving device is usually on the inside of the cover part, which can lead to signs of wear on the cover part with repeated opening and closing.
  • GB 2 253 374 describes a document comprising a strip attached to a bottom of a folder to which a stack of sheets and a cover is attached and which, after stapling or stapling, is folded over and conceals the fasteners.
  • the strip is not on the inside of the portfolio, but is visible from the outside. The visible from the outside of the strip disturbs the overall impression, on the other hand there is the danger that the strip easily dissolves, moved out of its folded position and releases the view of the stapling or stapling means by the outside mounting. A valuable envelope of documents is then not guaranteed.
  • US 4,007,950 shows a stitching strip which serves to staple a sheet stack and can be folded around the stitched edge of the sheet stack.
  • the strip has kinked grooves and a portion of the strip is to be adhered to the back of the sheet stack.
  • a connection of the strip with a shell is not provided.
  • top and bottom part would have to be inserted into the stitching strip, or by means of a further fastening means, a shell fixed to the strip. In both cases, the fasteners would be visible from the outside and disturb the overall impression
  • US 4,793,758 shows a sleeve with an internal strip connected to the sleeve. This is provided with an adhesive on which a sheet or stack of sheets can adhere.
  • the adhesive bond consists only of a sheet of the sheet stack, whereby no solid connection between the shell and stack of sheets can be produced, which would be suitable to hold loads, for example by scrolling, stand.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the known, in particular to present a presentation folder, a bound booklet and a method for binding, by which a stack of sheets is brought into an orderly shape with valued overall impression and by which at the same time a solid connection between the stack of sheets and the shell and, if necessary, between the leaves is ensured.
  • the object is achieved by a presentation folder of a cover with top and bottom part and at least one inside of the case attached to the cover strip, the binding strip is at least as wide that space for stapling, for a distance from the stapling to the edge of the sheet and the height of the stack of sheets is given, and the stitching strip is foldable about the stack of sheets that the staple is covered in the folded state at least on one side of the sheet stack by the stitching strip.
  • the joining of the sheets of the sheet stack and the stitching tape with one or more fasteners e.g. Staples, stitching thread, metal band, spiral band or other understood.
  • the presentation folder is therefore suitable for making a solid and durable bond.
  • the presentation folder may include a stitching strip that is preferably provided along the entire length of the presentation folder, or there may be multiple stitching strips along the length of the presentation folder that together provide for the stack of sheets to be held in the shell.
  • a plurality of stitching strips may be provided in an envelope for receiving a plurality of stacks of sheets.
  • the refolding of the stitching strip contributes to the stabilization by the multiple layers in the fold area.
  • the occlusion of the stitch The stitching strip prevents the stitching means from contacting the inside of the cover and causing prints, scratches, signs of wear or other damage to the latter. If the stitching strip is made of opaque material, then a valuable visual impression is favored by the concealment of the stapling means.
  • the at least one stitching strip is foldable such that it covers at least the area of the stitching strip provided for the stitching, the area of the stack of sheets between the stitching and the sheet edge, and the edge of the stack of sheets along the length of the stitching strip.
  • the edge of the stack of sheets on which the stapling takes place can thus be at least partially edged by the stapling strip. It creates the impression of a high-quality binding, as otherwise only by a relatively complex process, for example, a book binding, is achieved, although the sheets are connected only by a stitch.
  • the sheath consists of a first material, in particular PP (polypropylene), and at least a stitching strip of a second material, in particular PPP (polyphenylene), which is softer and / or more flexible than the first material, such that the stitching strip is repeatedly kinked or foldable on its width without tools.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PPP polyphenylene
  • the stitching strip should be foldable on itself and around an edge of the sheet stack, for which it consists of a suitable material. In order to ensure the folding or buckling of the adhesive strip, this material must be sufficiently flexible and / or soft, that is less hard than that of the shell.
  • the flexibility exhibited by the material is primarily related to foldability, and the stretch or compressibility of the material is less significant.
  • the components of the presentation folder for example, from paper of different thickness, such as the envelope of solid cardboard and the adhesive strip of paper, be made.
  • the softness or flexibility can be described with parameters such as the flexural strength, which is for example in the range of 30-40 MPa for PP, the modulus of elasticity, for example for PP in the range of 1300-1600 MPa, the notched impact strength, for PP at 23 C in the range of 4-10 kJ / m2, or the hardness, for PP, for example, the Rockwell hardness (D785) is about 98, or about Shore D70.
  • the flexural strength which is for example in the range of 30-40 MPa for PP
  • the modulus of elasticity for example for PP in the range of 1300-1600 MPa
  • the notched impact strength for PP at 23 C in the range of 4-10 kJ / m2
  • the hardness for PP, for example, the Rockwell hardness (D785) is about 98, or about Shore D70.
  • the stitching strip it is important that on the one hand it has sufficient strength to accommodate the stitching and to support the stack of sheets. On the other hand, it must be flexible enough to fold back over itself along its entire length along the stack of sheets and be able to be guided around the edge of the stack. For this, the material should have a certain toughness and must not be so brittle that it breaks or breaks under heavy bending stress.
  • the sheath may be kinked in the region of the hull back, when it is made in one piece, for example, it is not folded several times at frequent intervals, as is the case with the stitching strip and can therefore be harder and / or less flexible than this be.
  • PPP Polyphenylene
  • Both PP and PPP can be made available in any color selection, so that a great variety of design is given.
  • the stitching strip has holes for receiving stapling means. These can be brought into coincidence with holes correspondingly present in the stack of sheets and take up stapling means which serve a releasable bond.
  • Staples are preferably used as the stapling agent. In this case, no preparation of the tacking tape is required.
  • the staple means are covered by this and are not visible.
  • the envelope has at least two predefined fold lines which define a back of the envelope.
  • the envelope can be easily folded in a certain direction.
  • the shell is replaced by a certain shape in which a width of the hull back is given by the distance of the fold lines.
  • a back of certain width is advantageous if the presentation folder for receiving a stack of sheets with a stack height, which does not exceed the envelope width, is provided.
  • Presentation folders with backs can also be stacked well with integrated contents.
  • the back can be printed or provided with a sticker, so that a marking of the presentation folder is also legible when the presentation folder is on one of its edges.
  • the at least one stitching strip is fastened in a folding line. If the fixing of the fastening strip, in particular by stitching or welding, runs along a line which coincides with the folding line, the fastening of the fastening strip takes place in a preferred folding line of the envelope, which facilitates both the binding of the stack of sheets and the turning over.
  • the at least one stitching strip may be fixed at a distance from a fold line, outside a section between it and another fold line defining a back of the cover.
  • the at least one stitching strip has an area with which it bears against the inside of the lower part of the shell.
  • the stitching strip can then additionally cover an area on the back of the sheet stack.
  • the staple on both sides of the sheet stack may be obscured by the staple strip.
  • the edge of the stack of sheets is bordered by the at least one stitching strip at least along its length.
  • the at least one stitching strip may be attached to the cover along a line parallel to the fold lines, but preferably there is a flat connection, for example by fixing the region of the at least one stitching strip which covers a region on the back side of the stack of sheets to the cover ,
  • the at least one stitching strip has an area which can be adhered to the back of the stack of sheets. While the stitching already ensures that the stitching strip and the stack of sheets are not mutually movable in the area of the stitching, the gluing ensures that the fold of the stitching strip can no longer be reversed and thus the border of the stack of sheets is fixed.
  • the possibility for bonding is preferably provided by already attached to the adhesive strip adhesive, for example by a self-adhesive strip, which is covered by a protective film before bonding or which is adhesive by moistening.
  • the at least one stitching strip has at least one predefined fold line which separates the areas for the stitching and the distance from the edge of the stack of sheets.
  • the bending line of the fastening strip is predetermined, at which the stitching strip is folded back on itself to cover the stitching.
  • the predetermined fold line facilitates the positioning and binding of the sheet stack.
  • the at least one stitching strip has at least one fold line, which separates the areas for the distance to the edge of the sheet stack and the area for covering the height of the sheet stack from each other.
  • the fold line is provided where the stitching strip bears against the edge of the stack of sheets and ensures that the stitching strips and the stack of sheets abut one another and that no creases are formed.
  • the predetermined fold line also facilitates binding.
  • the at least one stitching strip is sewn to the cover, welded to the cover, adhered to the cover and / or stapled to the cover.
  • the object is further achieved by a bound booklet consisting of a presentation folder with a cover, at least one inside of the sleeve attached to the cover strip, in particular from a presentation cover as described above, and a stack of sheets that is attached to the at least one stitching strip consists with the stitching strip folded so that it covers the area of the stitching and the edge of the sheet pile.
  • Bound booklets according to the invention can be produced very simply and offer a durable and visually demanding bond.
  • staples are provided as means for the stapling. These are usually very narrow, and require only minimal space in the direction perpendicular to the stitching edge. The stapling is thus practically along a line, which saves space and makes it easier to leaf.
  • At least one metal strip which is guided through a perforation in the at least one stitching strip and the stack of sheets, is provided as the means for the stitching.
  • Such a releasable attachment can be achieved in a simple manner.
  • the shell is unfolded so far before placing the stack of sheets that the outer sides of the shell to each other lie.
  • the stitching strip then points away from the sleeve and can be easily accessed by a stapler.
  • the loading of the stack of sheets preferably takes place in such a way that it first lies with the front side on the stitching strip, the staples are pushed through the stitching strip and the stack of sheets and the staples are bent over on the back side of the stack of sheets. The stack of sheets is then folded over to the back, with the stitching strip obscuring the stitching on the front.
  • the stitching strip is long enough, it can still be continued on the back of the stack of sheets and hide the visible there stapling.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an example of a presentation folder 1 according to the invention, with a shell 2 and a stitching strip 3, which is attached along its entire length to the shell 2.
  • the sheath 2 has two fold lines 4, 4 ', the stitching strip 3 being fastened in one of the fold lines 4'.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an example of an inventive bound booklet 10, wherein a stack of sheets 16 is surrounded by a shell 12.
  • a stitching strip 13 is attached, for example, welded, which is connected to the stack of sheets 16 via stapling means 17.
  • the sheath 12 has two fold lines 14, 14 'which define a spine 15.
  • the stitching strip 13 is wide enough to accommodate a portion 18 of the staple, a distance 19 to the edge 20 of the sheet stack 16, and the height 21 of the sheet stack 16. It can thus be folded back on itself after the stapling operation, preferably in a fold line 25 provided for this, and cover the stapling means 17 and the edge 20 of the sheet stack 16.
  • the stapling means 17 may be staples not shown in detail in the figure, which are preferably guided first through the stapling strip 13, then through the stack of sheets 16 and are bent over underneath.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of another example of a bound booklet 30 according to the invention.
  • a stack of sheets 36 is surrounded by a sleeve 32 to which a stitching strip 33 is fastened, to which the stack of sheets 36 is connected with a stapling means 37.
  • the stitching strip 33 is folded over so as to conceal the stitching 38 and the edge 40 of the sheet stack 36. In addition, it is wide enough to cover even a region 42 on the back 43 of the sheet stack 36 and thus the stapling means 44 on the back 43. In the area mentioned, the stitching strip is preferably fastened flat on the inside of the shell 32.
  • the stitching strip 33 has a fold line 45 which separates the area of the stitching 38 from the spacing 39 to the edge 40 and facilitates the folding of the stitching strip 33 onto itself.
  • FIGS. 4a-4d schematically show the method steps according to the invention for incorporating a sheet stack 6 into a presentation folder 1.
  • FIG. 4 a shows the presentation folder 1 with the cover 2 almost completely unfolded, the stitching strip 3 pointing away from the cover 2.
  • FIG 4b the laid on the presentation folder 1 stack of sheets 6 is shown, the outer edge is flush with the free edge of the stitching strip 3.
  • the stack of sheets is attached to the stitching strip 3 with a stapling means 7.
  • FIG. 4d shows the stack of sheets 6 in its end position.
  • the stitching strip 3 is folded onto itself and thereby hides the stitching means 7.
