Definitions

  • the invention relates to folds which are presented in a continuous strip for correspondence or dissemination of confidential information.
  • Such strips are formed by bundles of continuous sheets, folded in a screen, each flap of which constitutes a unitary fold.
  • These products which are generally given the English name of "mailers”, allow editing on a printing machine such as a computer printer, electro-accounting equipment or the like.
  • the lower sheet of the bundle is intended to form, for each of the flaps of the folding screen, that is to say for each of the unit folds, the back of the envelope of the fold considered, while the upper sheet forms the faces envelopes.
  • All the intermediate sheets are intended to constitute the interior documents or inserts of each of the folds.
  • the typing of the printer is selectively transferred to some of the sheets, therefore to some of the interior documents, while non-personalized mentions, ie ie identical for all the folds, are printed on one or more sheets before their assembly.
  • the lower and upper sheets at least are joined by gluing along their lateral edges and, transversely, at the top and bottom of each fold.
  • the bundle After passing through the printer, the bundle is brought to a unitizing device where the folds are separated from each other along the folding fold lines either by breaking by traction, or by cutting (cutter).
  • the object of the invention is defined by claim 1. It resides in a particular arrangement of the inserts coming from at least two superimposed layers, each layer being constituted by a separate continuous sheet or by one of the panels of a continuous sheet folded longitudinally.
  • At least one of the two superimposed inserts is provided, at least partially, in a determined area, with a coating of adhesive which can be activated by heat, which causes the two inserts considered to stick together on a surface or along lines corresponding to this coating, when passing through the heat sealing station.
  • the assembly comprises three sheets, namely a lower sheet 11, an upper sheet 12, and an intermediate sheet 10.
  • Each of said sheets has along perforations along at least one of its longitudinal edges ( 10b, 11b, 12b) and is guided and driven along a respective circuit, symbolized here by a support roller (14, 15, 16), by spike trainers (17, 18, 19).
  • each sheet carries equidistant transverse weakening lines (10a, 11a, 12a), two successive lines delimiting a flap corresponding to a unitary fold.
  • the spacing E 1 of the weakening lines is greater than that E 2 presented by the weakening lines 10a of the intermediate sheet 10.
  • At least one of the lower 11 and upper 12 sheets carries sealing means along its longitudinal edges (inside with respect to the perforated driving margins) and sealing means straddling the transverse lines of weakness 11a , 12a, these sealing means being activatable by heat and pressure.
  • the assembly is carried out in a sealing station 20, the inlet of which is constituted by a pair of driving rollers 13 rolling one on top of the other, and between which the various sheets are engaged, possibly after passing over rollers of reference 21.
  • the upper and lower sheets are joined together, over the entire periphery of each of their flaps by means of pressing pressure cylinders 22.
  • the intermediate sheet 10 is, after folding, a little narrower than the sheets 11 and 12.
  • the height 2 of the flaps of the sheet 10 is less than the height E 1 of the flaps of the sheets 11 and 12
  • the difference in width and height of the flaps of strip 10 compared to those of strips 11 and 12 is at least twice the width of a sealing thread so that the interior document can fit entirely inside. of the sealing frame. It suffices then that the upper edge of a flap of the sheet 10 is engaged between the driving rollers 13 slightly later than the upper edges of the flaps of the sheets 11 and 12 and that said intermediate flap is detached from the continuous strip 10 to fit properly between the sheets 11 and 12. For this, a certain dynamic must be observed, clearly formulated in the aforementioned European patent 5 1099 and which is foreign to the object of the present invention.
  • FIG 2 is shown, on a larger scale, the sheet 10 as it appears after its passage through the printer but before its longitudinal folding.
  • the insert includes various pre-printed indications, of a general character, identical on all the components, such as 28a-28d and personalized mentions carried by the printer, such as 29a, 29b and the addresses 29c, the central text 30 being able to be a juxtaposition of preprinted information and information carried by the printer.
  • the longitudinal strips 32a and 32b arranged on either side of the central part 33, from which they are separated by a line 35a, 35b of detachable perforations, have the same width and are intended to be secured by bonding to form a response card 34 (fig. 3).
  • At least one, 32a, of these strips comprises on each flap a frame 36 of heat-activatable adhesive disposed on the face of the sheet 10 opposite the printed face visible in FIG. 2.
  • the edge cutter 26 (fig. 1) and at the end of the treatment, when the folds are sealed in the station 20 and before the unitization, the pressure and the heat applied by the rollers 22 cause the backing of the strip 32a to be heat-bonded to the back of the strip 32b.
  • the unit folds can be mailed, the addresses 29c of the recipients being read through the windows 27 provided in the sheet 12 (fig.1).
  • each recipient after opening the fold, extracts the insert which then appears as shown in Figure 3.
  • the central part 33 After having cut along line 37 formed by the superposition of lines 35a, 35b of detachable perforations, it has hands on the one hand, the central part 33 folded which it suffices to deploy to take cognizance of the message which is addressed to it and, on the other hand, the response card 34 which it must fill, according to the directives 30, before to resend it.
  • the card 34 has a thickness twice that of the sheet 10, which corresponds to a significant saving since to obtain the same grammage for the card 34, without carrying out the fusing, it would have been necessary to double the weight of part 33.
  • FIGS. 4, 5A-5 c and 6A-6c show, by way of nonlimiting examples, three other possibilities of objects shaped inside the same envelope.
  • FIG. 4 it is again a response card but presenting itself in the transverse direction. There is no fundamental difference with the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3, except that the address of the first recipient appears on what will later be the back of the card T 34 '.
  • FIGS. 5A-5 C show an embodiment of the invention with two inserts 40 and 41 folded in the Italian fashion.
  • the insert 40 has received, in the zone 40a, the address of the initial recipient and the rest of its surface constitutes a message, part of which may be, if necessary, detachable in order to be returned to the first sender.
  • This insert 40 therefore undergoes no transformation during the sealing of the initial fold.
  • the insert 41 has, on its two longitudinal edges 41 a and 41 b, lines 42 of heat-activatable adhesive, so as to form, after passing through the sealing station 20 (fig. 1) return 43 closed on three sides.
  • the lines of glue 42 stop about 20 mm from the lateral edges 41 c of the insert 41, so as to provide access to the protective film 44 with an adhesive strip intended for sealing the return envelope.
  • FIGS. 6A- 6c there are, between the sheets 11 and 12 forming the top and the bottom of the outward envelopes, two inserts 50 and 51.
  • these inserts receive an impression at 90 degrees and are folded French-style, accordion-style, with three parts each.
  • the insert 50 receives the address of the initial recipient and a personalized message at least partially.
  • the insert 51 is intended to constitute a return envelope and for this is provided with lines 52 of heat activatable adhesive along the lateral edges of one of its three flaps.
  • the insert 51 When, after passing through the sealing station 20 of the initial fold, the lines of glue 52 join the lateral edges of the flap which carry them with those of the flap to which they are applied by folding, the insert 51 forms an envelope 53 of return for a payment order or any other response document.
  • the return envelope can be sealed, as in the example in FIGS. 5A-5 c , using an adhesive strip provided with a protective film, the flap formed by the third flap 51 a insert which can then constitute, for example, an acknowledgment of receipt of the reply fold.
  • Another possibility consists in providing, on the flap 51 a, a breaking line 54 making it possible to detach a part 55 which can be an acknowledgment of receipt by leaving, attached to the return envelope, a flap 56 carrying the sealing means (in this case, if the return envelope is a T envelope, the address of the second recipient and the T will be printed on the face of the envelope formed by the intermediate flap, contrary to what is shown in FIG. 6 B ).
