Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a plate-shaped carrier and a flat material arranged on one of the two plate sides of the plate-shaped carrier according to claim 1.

[0002] In the case of sensitive products made of planar materials, such as, for example, with stickers, stamps or decorative elements made of paper, the problem often arises that these can be easily damaged during storage, transport and presentation. For the transport and storage of such products, it is known to arrange the latter between two plates, for example of cardboard, and thus to protect them from damage by kinking. For the presentation of these products, for example for the purpose of sale, this protective measure is unsuitable, since an exact consideration of the products is often desired, which usually involves handling with these and involves a correspondingly high risk of damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a technical solution which does not or at least partially avoids the aforementioned disadvantage of the prior art.

[0004] This object is achieved by the arrangement according to claim 1.

[0005] Accordingly, an arrangement comprises a plate-shaped carrier and a flat material arranged on the latter on one of the two platen sides of the carrier. This flat material has a weakening line which encompasses a region of the flat material and is designed in such a way that this region can be cut out manually from the flat material along the weakening line.

Outside the region enclosed by the line of weakness, the flat material is connected to the plate-shaped carrier, for example by means of an adhesive connection, whereas it has no connection with the plate-shaped carrier in the region enclosed by the line of weakness.

[0007] The plate-shaped carrier has a recess which extends completely over the region of the flat material enclosed by the line of weakness of the flat material. In this case, it is preferred that the recess is essentially coincident with the area of the flat material enclosed by the weakening line of the flat material.

As an alternative to this, the plate-shaped carrier has a weakened line which surrounds a region of the plate-shaped carrier, in order to enable this region to be relieved from the plate-shaped carrier along this weakening line. In this case, the region of the plate-shaped carrier surrounded by this weakening line of the plate-shaped carrier extends completely over the region of the flat material enclosed by the line of weakness of the flat material. Preferably, the weakening line of the plate-shaped carrier is substantially coincident with the weakening line of the sheet material.

The term "weakening line" is understood here in a broad sense and comprises both a continuous weakened region and a plurality of individual weakened or severed regions which make possible the region enclosed by these regions along a defined closure line out-zutrennen. Examples of such "weakening lines" are, for example, line-shaped perforations or notches, or else with a small distance, for example, by successive cuts or seperations separated by thin webs.

The arrangement according to the invention makes it possible to effectively protect a sensitive product from a two-dimensional material both during storage and transport as well as during the presentation, in that this product covers the area of the two-dimensional area surrounded by the line of weakness Material of the assembly. For the intended use, the product can be easily separated manually from the flat material along the weakening line by, if necessary, after a prior exposure of a region of the plate-shaped carrier, which is enclosed by a weakening line,

In the case of embodiments of the arrangement, in which the weakening line of the plate-shaped carrier is essentially coincident with the weakening line of the flat material, the pressure exertion takes place in the direction of the plate-shaped carrier since in this way the regions of the two- Material and favors separation along the weakening line. In the alternative case, in which the plate-shaped carrier has a weakening line along which the region enclosed by it can be cut out of it, it is also provided that the region of the plate-shaped carrier enclosed by the weakening line in the plate-shaped carrier together with the product According to;

In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, a further plate-shaped carrier is arranged on the side of the flat material facing away from the plate-shaped carrier, to which the flat material has no connection within the region enclosed by its line of weakness.

[0013] This further plate-shaped carrier has a recess which extends completely over the region of the flat material enclosed by the weakening line of the flat material. In this case, it is preferred that the recess of the further plate-shaped carrier is essentially coincident with the region of the planar material enclosed by the weakening line of the flat material.

As an alternative to this, this further plate-shaped carrier has a weakening line which surrounds a region of the further plate-shaped carrier, in order to allow a relief of this region from the further plate-shaped carrier along this weakening line. In this case, the region of the further plate-shaped carrier enclosed by this weakening line of the further plate-shaped carrier extends completely over the region of the flat material enclosed by the weakening line of the flat material. Preferably, the weakening line of the further plate-shaped carrier is substantially coincident with the weakening line of the flat material.

[0015] The use of a further plate-shaped support makes it possible to further improve the protective function.

In the alternative case, in which the further plate-shaped carrier has a weakened line, along which the region enclosed by the latter can be cut out of it, it is also provided that the region enclosed by the line of weakness in the further plate-shaped carrier is further Shaped carrier together with the product, for example, by removing the region of the further plate-shaped carrier, which is enclosed by the weakening line, in the direction toward the flat material from the further plate-shaped carrier, and at the same time removing the product from the flat material. If both the plate-shaped carrier and the further plate-shaped carrier have, as described above, a weakening line,

[0017] In a further preferred embodiment of the arrangement with a further plate-shaped carrier, the flat material is connected to the further plate-shaped carrier outside the region enclosed by its line of weakness.

In the case of embodiments of the arrangement with a further plate-shaped carrier, it is also preferred that the further plate-shaped carrier is connected to the plate-shaped carrier, preferably directly connected thereto, for example by means of an adhesive coating or indirectly over the flat material.

[0019] Through such configurations, the stability of the arrangement and thus the protective function can be further improved.

In a further preferred embodiment of the arrangement, the plate-shaped carrier and / or the further plate-shaped carrier has a weakening line, which surrounds a region of the plate-shaped carrier or the further plate-shaped carrier, in order to enable a relief of this region from the plate- Shaped carrier or from the further plate-shaped carrier along the respective weakening line. The region of the plate-shaped carrier or the further plate-shaped carrier surrounded by the weakened line extends completely over the region of the flat material enclosed by the line of weakness of the flat material, wherein it is preferred that the line of weakness of the plate-shaped carrier or Of the further plate-shaped carrier is essentially coincident with the weakening line of the flat material. The region of the flat material enclosed by the weakening line of the flat material has no connection to the region of the plate-shaped carrier or the further plate-shaped carrier which covers this region. A space is thereby formed between the region of the planar material enclosed by the line of weakness of the planar material and the region of the plate-shaped carrier or the further plate-shaped carrier covering this region. A flat article, for example a lot, a ticket or a picture, is arranged in this space, preferably in a freely movable manner, ie without fixing to the carrier or the flat material.

In a further preferred embodiment of the arrangement, the flat material has a lower stiffness than the material from which the plate-shaped carrier and / or the further plate-shaped carrier is formed. This measure results in a significant improvement in the protection against kinking.

[0022] In the arrangement according to the invention, preferably the plate-shaped carriers and / or, if present, the further plate-shaped carrier are in each case formed from a flat material with a substantially uniform thickness, preferably from cardboard or plastic. Such materials are well-suited for demanding plate-shaped carriers, are commercially available as inexpensive semi-finished materials, and can also be processed and recycled.

In the case of the arrangement according to the invention, the planar material preferably consists of a flat material of essentially uniform thickness, preferably of a paper, nonwoven, leather and / or artificial leather material, or comprises such a material. Such materials are particularly well suited as complex materials, and can also be provided with simple weakening lines in a simple manner.

[0024] It is furthermore preferred for the planar material to consist of a printed paper, non-woven, leather and / or artificial leather material or comprises such a material. This results in a wide range of possible uses of the arrangement according to the invention.

If the paper, nonwoven, leather and / or artificial leather material is laminated and / or laminated, which is preferred, particularly high-quality products are possible.

In the arrangement according to the invention, the weakening line of the planar material is preferably formed as a notch penetrating into the material or as a chain of several successively arranged notches or cuts penetrating into the material, for example by thin material webs. Such weakening lines are particularly suitable for planar materials.

In a further preferred embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention, the flat material exhibits applications applied to it and / or extending it, for example emblems, labels, cards (such as account cards or credit cards) in the region enclosed by the weakening line, Or the mating elements of, in particular, repeatedly producible and releasable connections.

In a further preferred embodiment of the arrangement, the planar material has further weakening lines in the region enclosed by the weakening line, which serve to facilitate a folding of this region along these further weakening lines after the region has been severed. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the separated region is a preliminary product to form a folded product.

The term "further weakening line" is not to be confused with the initially described "weakening line", and here and in the following refers to a line-shaped region of the flat material on which the flat material is altered or structurally weakened It can be folded particularly easily along this area. A reduction in the actual material strength is not desired here, since these "further weakening lines" are not intended to serve as nominal separation points, but merely to facilitate the folding of the sheet material at defined points.

[0030] If the further weakening lines are formed as pre-lines, which is preferred, the folding is facilitated without thereby impairing the tensile strength of the material.

In the case of the two last-mentioned embodiments of the arrangement, it is preferred that the weakening line of the flat material surround a heart-shaped region and the further weakening lines are arranged in such a way that after the heart-shaped region has been severed along the weakening line from the flat material This heart-shaped region can be converted into a container along the further lines of weakness, preferably to a wallet. One such embodiment is a preferred commercial implementation of this inventive arrangement.

If the planar material according to a previously described preferred embodiment of the arrangement in the region surrounded by the weakening line has applications applied to it and / or penetrating it, it is preferred for these applications to produce the pairing elements of one repeatedly And releasable connection, preferably a push-button connection or a hook-and-loop connection, which are arranged on the planar material such that these mating elements form a closure for the wallet after forming a wristlet from the heart-shaped region by folding.
