Definitions

  • the invention relates to a document protection device as well as to a method of manufacturing such a device.
  • document protection devices consist of a flexible plastic or similar quadrangular pocket closed on three of its sides and having an opening, generally upper, for the introduction of the document.
  • the device On one of the lateral sides, the device generally has a perforated strip to facilitate its classification.
  • Such a device although effective in terms of protection, nevertheless has the drawback of making it difficult to introduce the document, this document in particular having to have a certain rigidity in order to be able to be introduced completely.
  • Another solution consists in providing the pocket with a dimension clearly greater than the document in order to avoid its lateral friction during introduction.
  • Another document protection device which tends to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and which is in the form of a flexible plastic bag or similar quadrangular closed on two adjacent sides and open to the other two.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a document protection device which makes it possible to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and which combines the advantages of each of the known devices, namely ease of introduction of the document and correct maintenance of the document once introduced.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a document protection device which has good resistance to use, and in particular to tearing, as well as a method of manufacturing such a device which is easy to implement.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a document protection device which is easily adaptable to current manufacturing machines, which therefore does not affect the cost of the finished product.
  • the document protection device consisting of at least one flexible plastic or similar pocket, quadrangular, having at least a first opening on one of the sides, is characterized in that said pocket further comprises a second adjacent partial opening on one of the sides adjacent to said first opening.
  • a continuous sleeve of a flexible plastic material or the like is formed, which is flattened on itself to form two opposite lateral sides of the pocket. quadrangular, said continuous sleeve is cut and welded transversely to respectively constitute said first opening and the opposite closed fourth side, said method being characterized in that the sleeve is formed from a sheet folded back on itself and whose free edges are partially welded together, said second opening being formed at said free edges by the non-welded area.
  • the invention relates to a document protection device and a method of manufacturing such a device.
  • the document protection device 1; 11; 21; 31; 41 is at least made up of a pocket 2; 12; 22; 32; 42 formed in particular from flexible plastic or the like, and in a usual quadrangular manner.
  • the pocket has at least one first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43 on one of the sides of the pocket and which in the case of the figures constitutes an upper opening.
  • the pocket 2; 12; 22; 32; 42 further comprises a second adjacent opening 4; 14; 24; 34; Partial 44, on one of the sides adjacent to said first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43.
  • each device or more precisely each pocket of each device, can be widely opened, in the manner of the corner pockets, in particular either by the right or by the left as the case may be.
  • the passage is limited taking into account a segment 7; 17; 27; 37; 47 which is provided closed and which, optionally, ends said side.
  • Said unopened area 7, 17; 27; 37; 47 presents, in particular, a weld, coming, for example, from the method of obtaining the pocket from a sheet folded back on itself.
  • said second partial opening is provided over the great length, the closed part having a dimension for example between 3 and 15 cm.
  • the bag 2; 22 has laterally, at one of its sides, a perforated strip 8; 28 intended to facilitate the binding of several devices 1; 21.
  • the document protection device may have a plurality of pockets gathered together on at least one of their lateral sides, in order to constitute a notebook-type binding.
  • said second partial adjacent opening 4; 24; 34. 44 can be terminated by a notch 9; 29; 39; 49 to avoid tearing of the unopened area 7; 27; 37; 47 on the side of the corresponding pocket.
  • said notches 39; 49 have, for example, a longitudinal shape.
  • A the top of the pocket common to the first 33, 43 and the second 34; 44 openings
  • B the top of the pocket common to the first opening 33; 43 and on the opposite side 36; 46 at the second opening 34, 44 and C the point forming the limit between the second opening 34, 44 and the unopened area 37, 47
  • said notch 39; 49 is oriented, advantageously, along the median relative to the side BC of the triangle ABC.
  • these anti-tearing means are constituted, as shown for example in the embodiment of FIG. 4 by a leave 19 making it possible to avoid the localized stresses at the level of the connection of the opening 14 and of the unopened area respectively marked 17.
  • a leave 19 may also facilitate the opening of the pocket.
  • unopened zone 47 projects beyond the partial open zone 44, in order to avoid unwanted overflow of the documents to be protected, provision may be made for additional document stop 81, at the bottom of the pocket, upstream of the unopened area 47.
  • these means 81 may consist of a partial welding area 82 as shown in FIG. 8, provided substantially in the extension of the partial open area 44.
  • the documents are blocked at the bottom and the opening 44 is further reinforced by the notch 49, or the like, connecting the open 44 and unopened 47 area, avoiding locating the force on the weld when the poached.
  • the space 80 left free between said partial weld 82 and said unopened area 47 may constitute, in particular, a housing for a label.
  • a continuous sleeve of a flexible plastic material or the like is formed, which is flattened on itself to form the two sides. opposite sides of the quadrangular pocket, then cutting and welding transversely said continuous sleeve to respectively constitute said first opening 3; 13; 23; 33; 43; 53 and the fourth opposite side closed 5; 15; 25; 35; 45; 55.
  • the sleeve is formed from a sheet folded back on itself and whose free edges are partially welded together.
  • This technique has the advantage of being more suitable as regards the choice of dimensions, since the same sheet can be cut out according to any ribs, unlike techniques more often used according to previously known methods because they have the advantage to offer increased resistance, especially at the side edges since it is not necessary to resort to welding.
  • Said second opening 4; 14; 24 is implicitly formed, at the free edges of the folded sheet, by the non-welded zone.
  • a weld zone 67 will advantageously be provided; 77, as shown for example in Figures 2 and 5.
  • a weld is made on either side of a strip 28 provided, at one of the sides 26 of said pocket 22, between each of the faces of said pocket 22 and said strip 28 and said pocket 22 are perforated.
