Abstract
Post card (1) having one free side for addressing. The other side shows, on a zone extending more than half of its surface, a zone covered with an adhesive material (1), overlayed, for example, with a protective sheet (3). After having withdrawn the protective sheet (3) it is possible to stick a rigid cardboard photograph, coming for example from an instantaneous camera. By this means the photograph is transformed into a post card, presenting the normal measurements for postal dispatching.
Description
POSTKARTE POSTCARD
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Postkarte mit adressenfreier Rückseite. Postkarten, die auf einer Seite Photomotive tragen oder Photos, die Postkartengröße aufweisen und auf einer Rückseite mit einer Einteilung für Adresse und Begleittext versehen sind, sind bekannt. Es können dazu jedoch nur Photos verwendet werden, welche sich auf Postkartenformat vergrößern oder verkleinern lassen, also Photos, von welchen zuerst ein Negativ gemacht wurde, die dann einer Entwicklungsprozedur unterzogen wurden, sodaß Negative entstehen, von welchen wieder in einem weiteren Prozeß Positive herist gestellt werden. Dies\/ein zeitaufwendiges Verfahren, sodaß es z.B. einem Urlauber nicht möglich ist, ein Photo auf ein Negativ zu knipsen und das Positiv dann sofort zum Postversand zu bringen. Es sind lediglich gekaufte Postkarten mit Photomotiven verwendbar, die jedoch naturgegeben keinen persönlichen Charakter aufweisen können.The invention relates to a postcard with an address-free back. Postcards with photo motifs on one side or photos with postcard size and with a division for address and accompanying text on the back are known. However, only photos can be used for this which can be enlarged or reduced to postcard format, i.e. photos from which a negative was first made, which were then subjected to a development procedure, so that negatives are created, from which positives are again produced in a further process become. This \ / is a time consuming process so that e.g. a vacationer is unable to take a photo on a negative and then immediately bring the positive to the post office. Only purchased postcards with photo motifs can be used, but naturally they cannot have a personal character.
Es sind Photoverfahren entwickelt worden, die Sofortbilder ermöglichen, beispielsweise Polaroidkameras, auchPhoto processes have been developed which also enable instant images, for example polaroid cameras
Kodak hat eine Sofortbildkamera entwickelt, mit welcher auf steifem Karton innerhalb weniger Minuten Bilder nach eigenen Motiven \/fertiggestellt werden können. Diese Sofortbilder haben jedoch ein Format, welches nicht postgerecht ist. Der direkteKodak has developed an instant camera that can be used to finish pictures on a stiff cardboard \ / within a few minutes. However, these instant photos have a format that is not in line with the mail. The direct one
Versand derartigerPhotos ist daher sicher nicht möglich.
Es ist eine Postkarte mit einer graphisch gestalteten Rückseite mit einer durch eine Folie abgedeckten, durch Abziehen der Folie aktivierbaren Klebstoffschicht auf weniger als ein Viertel der Fläche zum Aufkleben eines Medaillons bekannt. Das Medaillon bewirkt eine Aussteifung nur eines kleinen Teiles der Karte. Beim Postversand besteht die Gefahr, daß gerade durch diese Aussteifung nur eines kleinen Teiles der Fläche dieser Teil in die Karte eingedrückt wird und sie beschädigt. Ferner ist es bekannt, weiche Photos, Wappen usw. mit frischem Klebstoff auf Karten und Unterlagen zu kleben.It is therefore certainly not possible to send such photos. A postcard with a graphically designed back is known with an adhesive layer covered by a film, which can be activated by pulling off the film, on less than a quarter of the surface for sticking on a medallion. The medallion stiffens only a small part of the card. When sending mail, there is a risk that this stiffening of only a small part of the area will cause this part to be pressed into the card and damage it. It is also known to glue soft photos, coats of arms etc. onto cards and documents with fresh adhesive.
Die Erfindung setzt es sich zürn Ziel eine Postkarte zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, derartige Bilder auf steifem Karton, wie Sofortbilder mit der Post zu versenden und erreicht es dadurch, daß die Rückseite auf einer Fläche, die mehr als die Hälfte der Fläche der Postkarte beträgt, mindestens im Randbereich dieser Fläche, vorzugsweise jedoch über diese ganze Fläche in an sich bekannter Weise mit einem zum Aufkleben eines Photos aus steifem Karton, z.B. aus einer Sofortbildkamera geeigneten, z.B. durch Abziehen einer Abdeckfolie aktivierbaren Klebstoff bestrichen ist. Wenn der Besitzer dieser Sofortbildkamera diese Postkarten bei sich hat, ist es nach Anfertigen einer Aufnahme lediglich notwendig, die Klebstoffschichte zu aktivieren
und das Sofortbild aufzukleben. Das Bild ist sodann auf einer üblicherweise mit einer Adressenaufteilung verr sehenen Postkarte auf der adressenfreien Rückseite befestigt. Da die Postkarte die Postnormgröße hat, ist ein Versand mit der Post sofort möglich. Das Bild verstärkt mehr als die Hälfte der Fläche der Postkarte, so daß die unverstärkte Fläche klein ist und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Karte und wesentlicher Sichtteile beseitigt ist.The invention has set itself the goal of creating a postcard which enables such pictures to be sent on stiff cardboard, such as instant pictures, by mail, and thereby achieves that the back on an area which is more than half the area of the postcard is coated, at least in the edge region of this area, but preferably over this entire area in a manner known per se with an adhesive suitable for adhering a photo made of rigid cardboard, for example from an instant camera, which can be activated, for example, by pulling off a cover film. If the owner of this instant camera has these postcards with them, it is only necessary to activate the adhesive layer after taking a picture and stick on the instant picture. The picture is then attached to a postcard that is usually provided with an address division on the address-free back. Since the postcard is the size of the postal standard, it can be sent by post immediately. The image reinforces more than half the area of the postcard, so that the unreinforced area is small and the risk of damage to the card and essential parts of the view is eliminated.
Es ist z.B. möglich, daß eine aktive Klebstoffschicht mit einem abziehbaren, eine geringe Affinität zum Kleb-Stoff aufweisenden Überzug, z.B. einer Kunststofffolie, einem Pergament usw. abgedeckt ist, die nach Überziehen des Überzuges aktiv zum Aufkleben eines Bildes aus einer Sofortbildkamera zur Verfügung steht. Derartige Klebstoffschichten mit abziehbarer Abdeckung sind vielfach bekannt und können zweckmäßig zur Durchführung des Erfindungsgedankens verwendet werden. Dies wird beispielsweise als aktivierbare Klebstoffschicht verstanden. Die Folie steift dabei vor dem Abziehen die Postkarte über einen Großteil ihrer Fläche aus.It is e.g. possible that an active adhesive layer with a peelable, low affinity coating, e.g. a plastic film, a parchment, etc. that is actively available after the covering has been applied for sticking an image from an instant camera. Such adhesive layers with a removable cover are widely known and can be used expediently to carry out the inventive concept. This is understood, for example, as an activatable adhesive layer. The film stiffens the postcard over a large part of its surface before pulling it off.
Es ist jedoch auch möglich, eine durch Feuchtigkeit aktivierbare Klebstoffschicht oder eine anders aktivierbare Klebstoffschicht zu verwenden.
An sich ist die Verwendung von Klebstoffschichten bei Briefen bei Verschließen des Brifes oder aber auch bei Postkarten, beispielsweise zum Zurückfalten und Ankleben eines Teiles, z.B. eines Adressenbeschriftungsteiles einer Postkarte, bekannt. Mit all diesen Klebstoffschichten, die jedoch nur bei ganz speziellen Postkarten Verwendung finden, ist die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabenstellung jedoch nicht zu lösen, da diese Klebstoffschichten sich nicht auf der Fläche befinden, die für ein Aufkleben eines Sofortbildes zur Verfügung stehen müßten. Erst durch den erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag ist es möglich,das Problem) Sofortbilder sofort mit der Post zu verschicken, zu lösen. Es ist beispielsweise möglich, die Postkarten getrennt oder gemeinsam mit den Sofortbildkassetten zu verkaufen, wodurch durch die Möglichkeit der Versendung von aktuellen Photos sowohl der Absatz von Sofortbildern wesentlich gehoben werden kann, als auch sowohl dem Absender und auch dem Empfänger eine besondere, persönliche Freude bereitet werden kann, wobei zusätzlich durch die Aussteifuhgswirkung eine Beschädigung der Postkarte vermieden wird.However, it is also possible to use a moisture-activatable adhesive layer or another activatable adhesive layer. The use of adhesive layers for letters when the letter is closed or else for postcards, for example for folding back and gluing on a part, for example an address labeling part of a postcard, is known per se. However, the task according to the invention cannot be solved with all these adhesive layers, which are only used for very special postcards, since these adhesive layers are not on the surface that would have to be available for sticking on an instant picture. It is only through the proposal according to the invention that it is possible to solve the problem) of sending instant photos by post immediately. For example, it is possible to sell the postcards separately or together with the instant photo cassettes, which means that the ability to send current photos can significantly increase the sales of instant photos and also give both the sender and the recipient a special, personal pleasure can be avoided, in addition, damage to the postcard is avoided by the stiffening effect.
Die Erfindung ist anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert, ohne sich darauf zu beschränken.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing, without being limited to it.
Fig. 1 zeigt die Rückseite einer Postkarte und Fig. 2 einen Schnitt durch eine Postkarte von der Seite gesehen mit einem aufzuklebenden Sofortbild.
Die Postkarte 1 ist an der adressenfreien Seite mit einer Klebstoffschichte 2 versehen, die sich auf einer Fläche befindet, die der Größe des Bildes aus einer Sofortfcildkamera entspricht. Diese Schichte ist mit einer Folie 3 beschichtet, die in Richtung des Pfeiles 5 abziehbar ist. Nach dem Abziehen der Folie 3 kann durch Andrücken auf die Klebstoffschichte ein Sofortbildkamerabild 4 auf der Postkarte befestigt werden. Nach Adressieren und Aufkleben einer Briefmarke und dem Schreiben eines vom Absender gewünschten Textes kann die Postkarte mit dem Bild versandt werden. Zweckmäßig ist es dabei, daß die Klebefläche unsymmetrisch und einen Schriftrand freilassend vorgesehen ist. Da die meisten Sofortkamerabilder quadratisch sind, ist es möglich, durch die unsymmetrische Anordnung der Klebefläche, einen Schriftbereich 7 auf der Rückseite frei zu lassen, auf welchen eventuell erläuternde Texte zum Bild, Mitteilungen od. dgl. angebracht werden, sodaß die Postkarte ohne weiteres für spätere Verwendungen vom Empfänger in ein Album eingeklebt werden kann«
Fig. 1 shows the back of a postcard and Fig. 2 shows a section through a postcard seen from the side with an instant image to be glued. The postcard 1 is provided on the address-free side with an adhesive layer 2, which is located on an area that corresponds to the size of the image from an instant camera. This layer is coated with a film 3 which can be removed in the direction of arrow 5. After the film 3 has been removed, an instant image camera image 4 can be attached to the postcard by pressing on the adhesive layer. After addressing and sticking on a stamp and writing a text requested by the sender, the postcard with the picture can be sent. It is expedient for the adhesive surface to be asymmetrical and to leave a writing margin free. Since most instant camera images are square, it is possible, due to the asymmetrical arrangement of the adhesive surface, to leave a writing area 7 on the back, on which possibly explanatory texts for the picture, messages or the like are attached, so that the postcard can easily be used for subsequent uses can be pasted into an album by the recipient «
