Definitions

• the present invention relates to a document support for receiving a document of any kind ensuring personalization of the support-document assembly.
• Document carriers are already known, in particular intended to constitute postcards, in which the document is inserted between a background of semi-rigid material such as cardboard and a transparent protective sheet.
• the supports of this type are however difficult to use and require delicate handling manipulations on the part of the user.
• the support, according to the present invention offers a simple solution and can find multiple uses, either as a postcard, or as an element for identifying parts or procedures accompanying the manufacture of parts in industrial processes, or also as a frame structure for photographs, drawings, etc.
• the document holder is characterized in that it comprises an opaque semi-rigid element intended to constitute the back of the support, a transparent sheet covering the back and intended to form the front face, a means of connection between the transparent sheet ensuring their permanent bond on at least half of their periphery, the remaining zones of the periphery of the back and the film being isolated from each other by a peelable film covering a self- sticky, said peelable film ensuring by its presence, obtaining a partially open case allowing the introduction, between the back and the transparent sheet of said document, while by removing the peelable film, it is possible to ensure the closure of the case by adhesion of the back and of the transparent sheet over their entire periphery.
• the opaque element is coated with adhesive over its entire periphery opposite the transparent film and the peelable film is applied to a small area of said periphery coated with adhesive.
• the peelable film may overflow outside the support.
• the general shape of the support can be arbitrary, a shape of parallelipipede is preferably used and in this case, the peelable film will be provided on one side of the support, slightly overflowing on the two adjacent sides so as to provide an opening. sufficiently large to facilitate the introduction of the document.
• the support in the form of a postcard, provision will be made at the periphery of the transparent sheet for a colored or white border having at least the width of the adhesive zone.
• This border can also be figurative of elements capable of giving the appearance of a frame to the support.
• the front of the opaque element will be intended to partially support the printing of a manual as well as, for the remaining space, the printing of an advertising message in the form of a slogan and image. These prints will be covered by the document when it is inserted between the opaque element and the transparent sheet.
• the back of the opaque element will be designed to receive a message or an impression intended to give the case its vocation or its type of use.
• the transparent sheet can also be printed.
• the document inserted in the support can be a personalized photograph, a drawing drawn on a sheet, a press clipping or any other element added personally by the sender.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a document holder according to the intervention;
• Figure 2 is viewed from the back of the support viewed according to arrow III of Figure 1;
• Figures 3 and 4 are partial sections on a larger scale according to arrows III - III and IV - IV of Figure 1; and
• Figures 5, 6 and 7 show how the document holder is used.
• the document holder shown in Figure 1 is in the form of a postcard as can be found commercially. It comprises a semi-rigid and opaque element 1, for example of cardboard, constituting the back of the support and a transparent cover sheet 2, for example of plastic.
• the periphery of the element 1 receives, on the side facing the transparent sheet, a layer of adhesive 3 which ensures the permanent fixing of the element 1 and of the sheet 2 on the three sides A, B and C of the support.
• a peelable film 4 is interposed between the adhesive 3 and the sheet 2 (see FIG. 4), thus leaving the corresponding edge 5 of the sheet 2 free, leaving an opening P in the support which thus has the form of a case.
• the peelable film is slightly wider than the width of the adhesive 3 on the edge D so as to slightly overlap the lines of adhesives of the edges A and C, which ensures a wider opening. from the case.
• the peelable film may slightly protrude at 6 on at least one of the sides of the support in order to facilitate its tearing.
• the back of element 1 may include the location of a stamp 7 and that of a message such as the address d 'a recipient.
• the support as a frame, provision may be made for cutouts such as a foldable tab 9 or an eyelet 10 allowing respectively the installation on a plane or the suspen ⁇ sion of the support to a hook.
• a peripheral border 11 having at least the width of the adhesive 3 and forming a frame (independently of decorative prints which may possibly cover the rest inside the border of the sheet, however leaving it a part of its transparency at least partially), the central zone 12 remaining, in the example, transparent.
• REPLACEMENT SHEET The use of the support of the invention is very simple. As can be seen in FIG. 5, it suffices to introduce through the open side of the case a photograph 12 (or any other desired document) by sliding it in the direction of the arrow 13, the free edge 5 of the transparent sheet rising to facilitate the introduction. Once the document 13 in place, it suffices to tear off the peelable film 4 by pulling it in the direction of the arrow (FIG. 6). The adhesive area 3a is thus released and it suffices to apply pressure according to the arrows 14 (FIG. 7) all along the edge of the support to trap the document.
