Definitions

• the arrangement relates to an envelope for printing units held together by a comb binding.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide an envelope for a binding which combines the advantages of a conventional book cover with the advantages of comb binding.
• the invention solves this problem by providing an envelope which has a rail with hooks on the inside of the back into which the comb binding is latched.
• envelopes which have a transparent outside Plastic film is provided, which is welded to the edges of the book cover, except for the upper edge, so that the outside can be designed by inserting a title and spine page printed on light paper.
• FIG. 3 schematically shows a snap fastening with arrow-shaped hooks
• Fig. 4 shows the envelope from the outside.
• FIG. 1 schematically shows an envelope with a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12, which are flexibly connected to a back 16 at the mutually facing edges.
• the covers 11, 12 and the back 16 are made, for example, of 1.5 mm thick cardboard and the surface is finished in a known manner, for example by lamination with a plastic film or application of a suitable color.
• the envelope serves to store a paper stack 10 which is held together by a card binding 13.
• Comb bindings 13 can consist, in a known manner, of suitably shaped wires, spirals or of comb-shaped plastic flat profiles, a comb back carrying a number of prongs, each of which is ring-shaped are deformed and reach into holes in the paper stack 10 to be bound.
• a holding rail 14 is fastened to the back, for example by rivets 15a..c, on which a row of hook-shaped fastenings 15 is located. These hooks engage in the rings of the ring bond. If necessary, the hooks 15 can also be individually connected directly to the back if the back is inherently stable.
• hooks 15 are formed on the rail 14 and engage in the rings of a wire comb binding.
• a barb 21 protects against sliding out after snapping.
• the hooks 15 are preferably designed so that the openings point upwards during normal use, so that the barbs 21 are not loaded.
• the hooks can also be attached to the rail as individual parts using conventional fastening means. If a spiral binding or a ring binding made of molded plastic combs is used instead of a wire comb binding, the hooks engage in the comb teeth or holes specially created for this purpose in the comb back.
• FIG. 3 Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3.
• the hooks formed or attached to the rail 14 are arrow-shaped and engage in a wire comb binding with double wires through the narrow space between the double wires.
• the hooks engage between two comb teeth or openings made specifically for this purpose in the comb back.
• a further embodiment uses a holding rod 51 which runs over the entire length of the back and which, for example, near the lower edge by means of a joint 53 and is fastened near the upper edge by a catch 52.
• This form is known with several handrails as a book spine for storing magazines.
• This holding rod is inserted lengthways through the entire ring stitching and then locked. The bound inner part is thus easily replaceable.
• an unlocking rail 61 sketched in FIG. 6 and covering approximately the length of the book spine can be used, which has comb-like projections 62 in the grid of the barbs, so that all barbs 21 can be pushed away at the same time.
• This unlocking rail 61 can be firmly attached and, for example via elongated holes 63, can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the back in the direction of the double arrow A-Z and release the barbs in position Z and press away the barbs in position A and thus release the hooks. It can also be present separately and can only be used to unlock the barbs when required.
• the fixed release rail is certainly more complex to produce, but easier to handle.
• the outside of the envelope is connected in a known manner, as indicated in FIG. 4, with a transparent film on three sides, so that a pocket accessible from above is created, which is optionally also available at the joints between the back and the Lids can be welded on.
• the cover sheet can be printed, which, if necessary after the edges have been cut, is inserted into the pockets.
• cutting is generally inevitable here.
• a bag can be used without welding on the joints and that then the necessary large-format sheet can be obtained by enlarging by means of an office copier of a template printed together with the paper stack 10. It has been found that the lower weld is also unnecessary and that with just one connection on the right and left on the edges of the cover, the insertion of the title page is made considerably easier.
• the title page is produced with a different, usually slower or more expensive printer or plotter. If necessary, the latter can also produce the A3 format or colored sheets, which are then inserted into the pocket.
• the disadvantage of a second printer is offset by the optically better design. In this case, too, both the printing unit itself and the inserted title page are produced using a computer-controlled direct printing method, in which printing is carried out without an intermediate carrier, which is used several times and is colored per page, as in letterpress, offset or gravure printing becomes.
• the lid and the back can also be inscribed with self-adhesive labels which are available in sheet form up to A4 paper format for practically all relevant computer printing techniques and are therefore produced simultaneously using the same printing process as the paper stack 10 of the book .
