Description
SOBRE PERFECCIONADO SISTEMA DE APERTURA CON CONTROL DE VIOLACIÓN ABOUT PERFECTED OPENING SYSTEM WITH VIOLATION CONTROL
La presente invención tiene que ver con el conocido sobre de envío, fabricado de papel, plegado en ángulos rectos, para conformar una cavidad estanco, a la cual se llega por uno de los lados, provisto de una solapa, que se pega al cuerpo mediante una franja de adhesivo, previa introducción de la correspondenciaThe present invention has to do with the known shipping envelope, made of paper, folded at right angles, to form a tight cavity, which is reached by one of the sides, provided with a flap, which is glued to the body by a strip of adhesive, previous introduction of the correspondence
La mencionada invención consiste en dotar al sobre descrito de un sistema para abrirlo fácilmente, integrado con otro para detectar intentos de apertura fraudulentaThe aforementioned invention consists in providing the described envelope with a system to open it easily, integrated with another to detect fraudulent opening attempts.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Es muy probable que desde la aparición del sobre, se hallan utilizado para abrirlos, los llamados abrecartas, fabricados con los mas vanados diseños y materiales, abrecartas que se introducen por uno de los extremos de la solapa, por lo general no pegados totalmente al sobre, para luego, mediante corte, abrir el sobre por el borde supeπor, o de plegado de la solapaIt is very likely that since the appearance of the envelope, they are used to open them, the so-called letter openers, manufactured with the most widely used designs and materials, letter openers that are introduced by one of the ends of the flap, usually not fully attached to the envelope , then, by cutting, open the envelope by the upper edge, or folding the flap
Últimamente ha salido al mercado un sistema de apertura, que consiste en hacer unos cortes debajo de la solapa, que se desgarran al levantarla En cuanto a sistemas para detectar intentos de apertura fraudulenta, los mismos pequeños cortes nombrados atrás, visibles debajo de la solapa, sirven, antes de abrir el sobre, como testigos Esta evidencia se destruye con la apertura del sobreLately, an opening system has been released, which consists of making cuts under the flap, which are torn when lifted. As for systems to detect fraudulent opening attempts, the same small cuts named behind, visible under the flap, they serve, before opening the envelope, as witnesses This evidence is destroyed by opening the envelope
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El problema que supone la apertura de un sobre, cuando no se tiene nada a mano para ayudarse, hace que el destinatario opte por rasgarlo por uno de los bordes, poniendo en peligro la correspondencia También se recurre a la introducción de un dedo o de un lápiz , por uno de los extremos, para accionarlos a manera de abrecartas, produciendo un rasgado muy irregular Esta ultima manera de abrir el sobre, sugiere que se pueden introducir mejoras en el borde de plegado de la solapa, que disminuyan la resistencia del papel al rasgado
Hay vanas sistemas para disminuir dicha resistencia del papel, que pueden consistir en hacer perforaciones o pequeños cortes o producir una especie de merma por abrasión, etc , a lo largo de dicha linea de plegado, mejoras con las que se consigue abrir el sobre fácilmente reemplazando el abrecartas por un dedo Queda asi descrita la primera de las novedades a introducirDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The problem of opening an envelope, when nothing is at hand to help, causes the recipient to choose to tear it by one of the edges, jeopardizing the correspondence. The introduction of an envelope is also used. finger or a pencil, by one end, to act as a letter opener, producing a very irregular tear This last way to open the envelope, suggests that improvements can be made in the folding edge of the flap, which decrease the tear paper resistance There are vain systems to reduce said resistance of the paper, which may consist of making perforations or small cuts or producing a kind of abrasion shrinkage, etc., along said folding line, improvements with which the envelope can be easily opened by replacing the letter opener for a finger The first of the novelties to be introduced is thus described
Cuando se pretende abrir un sobre en forma fraudulenta, generalmente se intenta levantar la solapa, despegándola cuidadosamente de la zona del sobre, en donde quedo fijada mediante adhesivo En el caso presente, la apertura del sobre se produce, como quedo descrito, por el borde de plegado de la solapa y por tanto no se toca su zona de fijación , de tal manera que cualquier sistema de detección de apertura que se localice en esa zona,, en condiciones normales, debe permanecer inalterableWhen it is intended to open an envelope fraudulently, it is generally attempted to lift the flap, carefully peeling it off the area of the envelope, where it is fixed by means of adhesive In the present case, the opening of the envelope occurs, as described above, by the edge of folding of the flap and therefore its fixing zone is not touched, so that any opening detection system that is located in that zone ,, under normal conditions, must remain unchanged
BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DIBUJOS Para mejor comprensión de lo descrito, adjunto unos dibujos que ilustran una forma de realización y no deben tener un carácter restnctivo, dibujos en los que la figura 1 representa una vista en alzada posteπor del sobre, con la solapa desplegada, la perforación por la linea de plegado y las zonas correspondientes del cuerpo del sobre, en donde se asienta la solapa y se fija mediante la franja de adhesivo y la zona en donde van los cortes especiales, en la figura 2 se ve el sobre en alzada posterior, con la solapa plegada y un dedo introducido por debajo, en uno de sus extremos y una flecha que indica la dirección en la que se debe mover para abrir el sobre, la figura 3 muestra en perspectiva las dos secciones en las que, para abrir el sobre, queda dividida la linea de plegado, a través de las cuales se puede ver el interior, para comprobar el estado de los cortesBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a better understanding of what has been described, I enclose some drawings that illustrate an embodiment and should not have a restorative character, drawings in which Figure 1 represents a post elevation view of the envelope, with the flap unfolded, the perforation by the folding line and the corresponding areas of the envelope body, where the flap sits and is fixed by means of the adhesive strip and the area where the special cuts go, in figure 2 the envelope is seen in elevation posterior, with the flap folded and a finger inserted underneath, at one of its ends and an arrow indicating the direction in which it should be moved to open the envelope, Figure 3 shows in perspective the two sections in which, to open the envelope, the fold line is divided, through which you can see the inside, to check the state of the cuts
