Definitions

  • continuous card forms have been provided which may be one card wide or two card wide; however, in either case each tabulating card proper is bordered by the marginal perforated feeding strips and also by separable medial strip portions which extend transversely across the web between successive cards to connect the cards together into a continuous web.
  • a continuous card form having this type of construction has several disadvantages. For example, after printing when it is desired to form the individual documents, two operations are required; namely, separation or peeling of the longitudinally extending marginal feeding strips and also separation or bursting of the transversely extending medial strip portions.
  • the present improved continuous card forms eliminate the need for and use of the connecting medial strip portions.
  • the present forms are made from precut tabulating cards so that the long feeding edges of each card will be straight, clean and unbroken.
  • Each tabulating card blank is provided with a pair of marginal pin feed strips separable from the shorter edges of the card by a tearing line comprising any suitable arrangement of slits connected with small areas of material joining the card and the marginal strips.
  • the tabulating card blanks are arranged in a series with their longer precut edges in 'butt-to-butt relationship and the separable marginal pin feed strip portions are joined together by continuous narrow strips of polyester film or tape.
  • the separable marginal pin feed strip portions are joined together by continuous narrow strips of polyester film or tape.
  • tapes may be secured on one side or on both sides of the pin feed strip portions.
  • the tapes are preferably secured between the pin feed perforations and the outside edge of the pin feed strip portions and all that is required to convert the continuous form into individual tabulating cards having clean unbroken feeding edges is to simply separate or peel off the connected marginal pin feed strips.
  • the tabulating cards In the case of a two card wide web, the tabulating cards would be precut in pairs with the left edge of one card and the right edge of its adjoining card connected together by a separable center support strip portion.
  • the center strip portions of abutted cards are connected together by a continuous tape as well as the two marginal pin feed strips. No transverse medial strips are used, and here again, individual tabulating cards having clean unbroken feeding edges are obtained simply by separating or peeling oif the connected marginal pin feed strips and the center support strip.
  • a principal object of the present invention is to provide an improved and more economical continuous form of connected tabulating cards.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved continuous form of tabulating cards wherein the cards are connected together in series without the use of transversely extending medical strips.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a continuous form of connected precut tabulating cards wherein said cards are connected together in buttto-butt relationship by continuous strips of polyester film or tape.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a continuous form of connected precut tabulating cards, said cards having separable marginal pin feed strips and being connected together in butt-to-butt relationship by continuous strips of polyester film or tape secured along said marginal pin feed strips whereby separation of said cards is effected by simply peeling off said connected marginal pin feed strips.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a continuous form of connected precut tabulating cards wherein said cards are connected together in buttto-butt relationship by continuous strips of polyester film or tape, which strips are biased on alternate sides at the hinge points to provide controlled zig-zag folding of the form.
  • FIG.1 is a detailed view showing a series of connected precut tabulating cards forming a portion of two wide continuous card form stationery.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the form shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the form shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a detail view showing the connecting tapes rolled flush at assembly of a form.
  • FIG. 5 is a detail view showing an alternate construction of the connecting tapes.
  • FIG. 6 is a detailed view showing another embodiment of a series of connected precut tabulating cards forming a portion of one wide continuous card form stationery.
  • FIG. 7 is an end view of the form shown in FIG. 6.
  • the present invention is shown embodied in a two wide continuous strip 10 formed by a series of side-by-side cards 11 and 12 with marginal strips 13 and 14 on opposite edges thereof.
  • the marginal strips 13 and 14 are provided with pin feeding perforations 15 and are separably joined to the cards along suitable tear lines.
  • the marginal strip tear lines are composed of simple straight slits 16 alternating with small connecting ties 17. This is an economical form of construction and it will be understood that any desired score configuration may be employed to form these tear lines.
  • the adjacent short edges of the sideby-side cards are joined by a center strip portion 18.
  • the center strip portion 18 of each card pair is defined by tear lines 19, which are shown to be similar to the tear lines 16, 17.
  • the side-by-side cards 11 and 12 are arranged in series in butt-to-butt relationship and are connected together by continuous strips or tapes 2% of polyester film or the like.
  • a film strip 26 is provided along each of the marginal strips 13 and 14 and is positioned between the row of pin feeding perforations 15 and the outside edges of the marginal strips.
  • a film strip 24) is also provided along the center strip portions 18.
  • the film strips 20 are preferably fastened to the cards by adhesive; however, any suitable fastening means could be employed. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, six film strips 20 are used, there being three film strips fastened on each side of the continuous card form 10.
  • the film strips may be rolled flush at assembly as shown by the strips 22 in FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a series of precut tabulating cards 24 connected to form a portion of one wide continuous card form stationery.
  • the cards 24 are connected together with their longer edges in butt-to-butt relationship by either two or four film strips 25 cemented along the separable marginal pin feeding portions of the cards.
  • the precut transverse or long edges 26 of the cards which are arranged in butt-to-butt relationship, are straight, clean and unbroken and since these edges are the feeding edges of the cards, this greatly facilitates the processing of the cards through tabulating machines.
  • a web of continuous form stationery comprising:
  • each card comprising a pair of marginal side strips detachably connected thereto by lines of tear perforations and each marginal strip being provided with longitudinally spaced pin-feed perforations disposed between the outer edges of the strip and the line of tear perforations,
  • a web of continuous form stationery comprising:
  • center support strip portions being in alignment and continuous along the central portion of the web
