Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tabber, or apparatus for sealing (tabulating) a folded material such as a booklet with one or more adhesive tabs.
  • a brochure comprises one or more printed sheets, folded once or twice by a folding device, so as to form a folded material more suitable for shipping.
  • the folded material has a folded end and an open end usually sealed by one or more pellet-shaped, often transparent, adhesive fasteners.
  • Tabbing machines for making this folded material are well known.
  • the patent US 5,279,698 (Davis ) describes a tabulator for placing a pellet on the open end of a folded material, such as a pamphlet.
  • the pellets that are used to seal the folded material are pre-cut along their entire length and disposed on a strip of removable support material.
  • the pellet is separated from its support and its adhesive part in contact with the support material is then folded into two symmetrical parts and brought into contact with the open end of the folded material.
  • precut tabs tabs devices must be equipped with complex mechanical means, or optical optics, to precisely position the pellet at level of the open end of the folded material. Indeed, if it is not centered on the stop formed by the open end, its withdrawal by separation or rupture proves difficult without prior deformation of the folded material; this operation often leads to alteration or tearing of the folded material.
  • a tablet for a device to tabulate able to seal a folded material by means of an adhesive patch provided with a theoretical fold line characterized in that it comprises at least two sets of cutouts distributed over at least two parallel lines disposed on either side of said theoretical fold line.
  • said two parallel cutting lines are disposed equidistant from said theoretical fold line and the chip may further comprise a central cutting line coinciding with said theoretical fold line.
  • Said at least two cutting series can be two in number disposed along an axis passing through said theoretical line of folding closest to an outer edge of said pellet or three in number regularly distributed along an axis passing through said theoretical fold line.
  • the pellet may also include a central opening and said cutting series are four in number, each of these four sets of cutting being disposed along an axis passing through said central aperture closer to respectively an inner or outer edge of said pellet .
  • the two series of cuts of said four series of cuts which are arranged closer to said outer edge of the chip may also touch said outer edge so as to create two series of cuts.
  • the distance separating two adjacent cutting series is approximately ten times greater than the length of each of said cutouts forming each of said cutting series.
  • said series of cuts are made in two perpendicular directions.
  • the invention also relates to the support strip to unwind for tabulation machine on which is glued a plurality of pellets as above.
  • a folded material such as a booklet 10 has a folded end 12 and an open end 14 sealed, in the example illustrated, by a single adhesive patch 16.
  • the adhesive patch illustrated is round although another form is also conceivable and comprises a central fold line 16A which can be completely precut to facilitate tearing.
  • this adhesive patch must be strong enough to withstand the various treatments to which the brochure may be subjected during its dispensing process and, once in place, the precut line 16A must perfectly coincide with the edge of the open end. to allow easy opening by the passage of a finger of the person responsible for its opening for example.
  • the adhesive pellets are glued to the brochures by means of a tabulation machine comprising one or more unwinding tape reels 18 on which are arranged side by side several thousand adhesive pads which each comprise on the one hand an adhesive face in contact with the support strip and intended after sealing to seal the brochure and on the other hand a non-adhesive opposite side.
  • a tabulation machine comprising one or more unwinding tape reels 18 on which are arranged side by side several thousand adhesive pads which each comprise on the one hand an adhesive face in contact with the support strip and intended after sealing to seal the brochure and on the other hand a non-adhesive opposite side.
  • a pellet is formed in a transparent polyethylene stuck on a silicone support tape.
  • Regularly spaced perforations 18A are further provided on this support strip to allow its training in the tabulation machine.
  • the adhesive pellets 20 no longer comprise a single central line entirely pre-cut but several series of short cuts distributed over at least two lines. parallel 22, 24, 26 centered on the theoretical centerline fold of the pellet.
  • the fold line precisely coincide with the edge of the open end of the folded material, since a slight shift towards a side either of this central line will always allow an alignment of this stop with one or other of the parallel cut lines arranged on either side of this theoretical fold line and therefore an easy tear by the recipient person of this folded material.
  • the cuts are no longer performed over the entire length of the fold but simply limited to certain predetermined areas along the fold line, the robustness of the pellet is not affected despite these two additional cutting lines. Note that this configuration with two cutting lines is not limiting and the invention may of course include more, including three as illustrated in the figures or even more, for example four or five provided not to harm the general robustness of the pellet.
  • the pellet 20 comprises six series 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F each having three cutouts including a central cutout 28 and two side cutouts 30, 32 on either side. These six series are regularly distributed along a diameter of the pellet and the two lateral cutouts 30, 32 are disposed on both sides at equal distance d from the central cutout 28 coinciding with the theoretical line of central fold of the pellet.
  • cutouts of 0.5 mm in length spaced between them of 1 mm are made every 4 mm (the two extremities being positioned at 1 mm from the peripheral edge of the pellet).
  • the high ratio, of the order of 10 between the length of the cuts (0.5mm) and the space between two sets of cutting (4mm), necessary to ensure minimum strength to the pellet.
  • the pellet 20 has the shape of an eyelet with a central opening 34 so that it comprises only four series 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D each comprising three cutouts, the central cutout 28 and the two lateral cutouts 30, 32 disposed on both sides at equal distance d from the central cutout 28 coinciding with the theoretical line of central fold of the pellet.
  • These four cutting series are arranged along an axis passing through the central opening (in this case a diameter of the pellet) and closer to each inner or outer edge of the eyelet (or for two of among them to touch the outer edge thus creating two series of three cuts).
  • the present invention can not be limited to the pellet forms (mainly circular or annular) illustrated by the figures. It is indeed obvious that a square, rectangular or oval shape may equally well be suitable. Similarly, if the illustrated version with four sets of three parallel perforation lines appears the most efficient to reconcile robustness during transport and ease of opening by the recipient, it is not inconceivable to imagine an alternative to three or two series of cutting lines centered on the theoretical line of fold and distributed regularly along a diameter of the pellet (case of three series) or arranged closer to its periphery (case of two series).
