Abstract

The present invention relates to continuous stationery in which a plurality of working sheets 3 are connected to a continuous carrier sheet 1 at spaced intervals. The carrier sheet 1 has a coating material 5 over at least one area thereof to which each working sheet 3 is attached by means of adhesive 6. The adhesive adheres more strongly to each working sheet 3 than to the coating material 5 whereby clean separation of each working sheet 3 from the carrier sheet 1 is provided. Alternatively each working sheet can carry the coating material which is then attached to the carrier sheet. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Continuous stationary The present invention relates to continuous stationery and more particularly relates to continuous stationery wherein a plurality of working sheets on which information is to be typed are attached to a continuous carrier sheet.
It is known to provide continuous stationery in which a plurality of working sheets are directly attached to a continuous carrier sheet by means of adhesive. A problem which arises with this arrangement is that when the working sheet is pulled off the carrier sheet, a small portion of the carrier sheet is often torn away and remains attached to the working sheet. This is particularly unsightly if the working sheet is letter headed paper. It is also known to insert a separate sheet to avoid the above problem, but this arrangement increases the complexity of manufac ture and increases the expense. Accordingly, the present invention seeks to provide a solution to the above problem.
According to the present invention, there is provided continuous stationery of the type comprising a plurality of working sheets connected to a continuous carrier sheet at spaced intervals, wherein the carrier sheet or each working sheet has a coating material over at least one area thereof, each area of coating material being attached to each working sheet of the carrier sheet respectively by adhesive which adheres more strongly to each working sheet or the carrier sheet respectively than to the coating material, whereby clean separation of each working sheet from the carrier sheet is provided. It is preferred that the coating material be on the carrier sheet.
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a plan view of continuous stationery having working sheets attached to a continuous carrier sheet and in which Figure 2 illustrates the manner in which the working sheets are attached to the carrier sheet.
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a continuous carrier sheet 1 formed into concertina form and having a plurality of register holes 2 down each side along its length.
A plurality of working sheets 3, for example letter heads on which information will ultimately be typed, is attached at spaced intervals to the continuous backing sheet at locations shown at 4.
In order to overcome the known disadvantage of tearing when each working sheet is removed from the carrier sheet, each working sheet is attached to the carrier sheet in the manner shown in Figure 2.
Referring to Figure 2, a layer of coating material 5 is placed along a line substantially normal to the continuous backing sheet at spaced intervals. Such material 5 may suitably be based on printing ink reducing medium or other material to which normal paper adhesive (such as latex) adheres less strongly than to paper. The coating material 5 is preferably applied in the form of vertical and horizontal lines by using a screen to form a criss-cross network as shown. However, the criss-cross network will normally be so fine as to be invisible to the naked eye.
Each working sheet is attached to the coating material on the carrier sheet with drops of adhesive shown at 6, such as latex. The adhesive forms a firm bond with the working sheet. However a light bond is formed with the carrier sheet since the adhesive does not adhere particularly strongly to the coating material 5 and only a small surface area of the carrier sheet is exposed through the coating material (through the criss-cross network) so that only a light bond is formed with the carrier sheet. When the working sheet is pulled off the carrier sheet, only the adhesive remains attached to the working sheet without tearing away portions of the carrier sheet.
Whilst it is preferred to provide a criss-cross network of coating material so that the adhesive material bonds to some extent to the carrier sheet, it is possible to provide a complete layer of coating material. Furthermore, it would be possible to coat the carrier sheet with coating material in isolated areas rather than provide a continuous strip as shown in Figure 2.
Whilst it is preferred to coat the carrier sheet with coating material, each working sheet could be coated with coating material in any of the forms mentioned above.
Whilst as described above each working is in the form of a single sheet, each working sheet may comprise a "tipped set" of two or more overlying sheets, such as a sheet of letter headed paper overlying one or more "copy" sheets which serve to form a copy of information ultimately typed on the letter headed paper. In this event the bottom "copy" sheet will be connected to the carrier sheet.
1. Continuous stationery of the type comprising a plurality of working sheets connected to a continuous carrier sheet at spaced intervals, wherein the carrier sheet or each working sheet has a coating material over at least one area thereof, each area of coating material being attached to each working sheet or the carrier sheet respectively by adhesive which adheres more strongly to each working sheet or the carrier sheet respectively than to the coating material, whereby clean separation of each working sheet from the carrier sheet is provided.
2. Continuous stationery according to claim 1, wherein the coating material is in the form of a criss-cross network of lines of coating material.
3. Continuous stationery according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the coating material is in the form of a strip running substantially normal to the continuous direction of the backing sheet.
4. Continuous stationery according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said coating material is based on printing ink reducing medium.
5. Continuous stationery according to any preceding claim, wherein the coating material is on the carrier sheet.
