Definitions
- the invention relates to a continuous form, in particular for EDP printing units, with a first sheet, in which a transport perforation is provided on both edges, and which has a transverse perforation for folding and separating at certain intervals, and to which punches are attached.
- Endless form sets are known which are suitable for use in labeling devices, in particular in those of EDP systems. These form sets each have a transport perforation on both edges, into which the transport spikes of the labeling device can engage. As a rule, such continuous form sets are provided with a transverse perforation at a distance of 12 ", through which a zigzag stacking and subsequent tearing off is possible after printing. With such form sets, the copies have the same format as the first sheet and have Such sets of forms have the disadvantage that they are not in DIN format and are difficult to tear off and take apart in the case of multiple copies.
- a further disadvantage of these continuous forms occurs in versions with many copies in that especially with labeling devices small EDP systems or so-called office computers whose transport spikes no longer, or at least not correctly, transport the outer edges, which are necessarily thick in the case of strong form sets, which contain the transport perforations Endless forms set in the narrow wrapping of the small devices to jam and displacement, which build up quickly and prevent the proper operation of the device.
- carrier tape sets in which individual sets, preferably in DIN format, are prefabricated and glued to an endless carrier tape with transport perforations underneath.
- carrier tape sets In order to prevent such carrier tape sets from getting caught on their separating strip in the labeling device, it is provided that the individual sets are applied to a carrier tape in such a way that they overlap. This means that the carrier tape has a transverse perforation in half of its format and is folded over there. The carrier tape cannot be used for the printing process and must then be thrown away.
- Another disadvantage of the carrier tape set is that the individual set lying on top cannot be attached or held laterally and is therefore moved by a number of frequently used labeling device types as soon as the lower part of the set has to be labeled, so that the advantages of the carrier tape set are used is not possible in wide areas.
- a set of forms is known from CH-A-575 838 in which the desired format of individual sheets can be achieved by perforations.
- the bottom sheet is extended to the top sheet of the following set of forms. There is thus an alternating change between the bottom of the continuous form and the top where it ends.
- Such sets of forms have the disadvantage that they do not have a continuous carrier tape and are therefore more complex to manufacture and their use can lead to disruptions in paper transport due to the alternating change.
- GB-PS 752 746 proposes to arrange the copies on a set of forms at a certain distance from one another.
- the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the aforementioned endless forms and to create an endless form that is easy to fold in a Z-shape without individual sheets are stretched or compressed and in which all sheets after separation of the same width and that from the carrier tape resulting first sheet is slightly longer than the copy sheets. Furthermore, a first sheet with punctures is to be followed by a free first sheet on which no punctures are arranged and thus other tasks, preferably the creation of a detachable index card can be fed.
- the continuous form designed according to the invention has the advantages of both the known continuous form sets and the carrier tape sets, but avoids their disadvantages.
- DIN-formats can be made from any suitable endless paper format suitable for labeling devices such as EDP printers, automatic typewriters and the like. No additional carrier tape is required.
- the sentences are easily separable after labeling and there is no shifting of the punctures or jamming in the labeling device. The risk of material jam for sets with many copies is avoided because the copies are released at the end of the form.
- the transport spikes can work correctly because only the first sheet of the continuous form is used for transport.
- Another advantage of the continuous form designed according to the invention is that no additional, expensive stapling techniques have to be used, as is unavoidable in the conventional continuous form set, as soon as there is a need that all or some sheets have to remain together for the further use of the labeled form set.
- the first sheet for the production of A4 sets in portrait format, has a width of approximately 240 mm and each has transverse perforations at a distance of approximately 12% and the additional perforation is at a distance of approximately 18 mm from the transverse perforation
- the first sheet has a width of at least approximately 330 mm and each has transverse perforations at a distance of approximately 9 "and the additional perforation is arranged at a distance of approximately 18 mm from the transverse perforation.
- Any other format, in particular DIN A5 portrait format from 175 to 180 mm wide, or so-called sixth DIN (A4 shortened) from approximately 240 mm width can be produced in a corresponding manner.
- the continuous form according to the invention is inserted into the labeling device in such a way that the carbon paper copies (if present) come to rest between the first sheet and the writing pad in the labeling device. As a result, the copies are pressed against the writing pad and can therefore neither jump open nor move; this also prevents jamming in the device.
- the punctures are not arranged on each first sheet, but that there is a free first sheet between them, which is not provided with punctures.
- This free first sheet can be unlabeled or, according to an advantageous development of the invention, can also perform a function.
- One such function is to provide the first sheet with advertising messages. The perforation between the preceding first sheet with punctures and the free first sheet is then expediently formed such that only folding, but not simple tearing off, is possible.
- the free first sheet can, however, also bear all or part of a label which is intended for entries which are to be made by hand.
- a transverse perforation enables a division into an advertising space and one or more form areas.
- the transverse perforation can also be used to form one or more index cards, such as those used in connection with hospital forms.
- the format of these index cards can be chosen by additional longitudinal perforations.
- the continuous form according to the invention consists of form sets I, 11, 111, ... each with a first sheet 1, which is provided on both sides with a longitudinal perforation 2.
- an edge strip 3 is formed, in which the perforation 4, which is usual for transport in labeling devices, is provided, into which the transport spikes of these devices can engage.
- these edge strips can be separated off after printing.
- the perforations 2 are applied in such a way that after the edge strips 3 have been separated off, the dimension desired in this direction, for example that of a DIN format, remains.
- a series of copies 6 and the necessary carbon papers 7 are arranged by means of a binding margin 5.
- the carbon papers 7 can be omitted if self-copying papers 6 are used.
- the copies 6 and possibly the carbon papers 7 are connected to one another in the binding edge 5, preferably glued to one another, and the binding edge 5 is in turn fixed to the first sheet 1, preferably glued on at points.
- the binding margin 5 is delimited by a perforation 8 which passes through all of the copies.
- the carbon papers 7 generally have no perforation, so that they remain on the binding edge 5 when it is torn off.
- the carbon papers 7 are therefore usually shorter at the lower end than the copies 6, so that they can also be pulled out with the binding edge 5 if the copies 6 are held at the lower end (left in the drawing).
- the first sheet 1 is provided near its upper end (on the right in the drawing) with an additional perforation 9 which is aligned with the perforation 8 of the perforations 6. After the edge formed by this additional perforation 9 has been torn off, the first sheet 1 has the desired format, preferably DIN format.
- the punches 6 glued onto the first sheet 1 by means of the binding edge 5 end at their lower end a few millimeters before the transverse perforation 10 of the first sheet.
- the successive sets I, II, III, ... can be separated from one another.
- the sets are folded around this perforation and are thereby stacked in a known manner in a zigzag fashion in such a way that similar pages, that is to say the first pages and the last copies of successive sets, lie one on top of the other.
- the first sheet 1 of the first set I connects to the first sheet 1 of the next set II and to this the first sheet of the set IIIan, etc.
- FIG. 2 shows an endless form in which the first sentence I, in which the first sheet 1 is provided with carbon copies 6, is followed by a free first sheet 1 'on which no carbon copies are arranged.
- this first free sheet 1 ' is provided with a transverse perforation 11, by means of which it is divided into a part 12, which is intended to be discarded, and a part 13, which can be used as an index card, by being on the in the drawing facing downward is provided with an imprint.
- a longitudinal perforation 14 indicated by dash-dotted lines two index cards of smaller format can also be produced.
- the entire free first sheet 1 ' can also be provided with an advertising print.
- a perforation which only enables folding but not simple tearing off can then be provided on the border to the preceding first sheet 1.
- the first free sheet 1 ' is followed by the first sheet 1 of the next set 11 provided with punctures 6 and this is followed by a free first sheet 1', etc.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Endlosformular, insbesondere für EDV-Druckwerke, mit einem ersten Blatt, bei dem an beiden Rändern eine Transportlochung angebracht ist, und das in bestimmten Abständen eine Querperforation zum Falten und Abtrennen aufweist, und an dem Durchschläge befestigt sind.The invention relates to a continuous form, in particular for EDP printing units, with a first sheet, in which a transport perforation is provided on both edges, and which has a transverse perforation for folding and separating at certain intervals, and to which punches are attached.
Es sind Endlos-Formularsätze bekannt, die sich zur Verwendung in Beschriftungsgeräten, insbesondere in solchen von EDV-Anlagen, eignen. Diese Formularsätze besitzen an beiden Rändern je eine Transportlochung, in die die Transportstacheln des Beschriftungsgerätes eingreifen können. In der Regel sind derartige Endlos-Formularsätze im Abstand von 12" mit einer Querperforation versehen, durch die nach dem Bedrucken ein zickzack-förmiges Aufeinanderlegen und ein anschliessendes Abreissen möglich ist. Bei derartigen Formularsätzen haben die Durchschläge das gleiche Format wie das erste Blatt und verfügen ebenso am linken und rechten Rand über Transportlochungen. Solche Formularsätze haben den Nachteil, dass sie kein DIN-Format haben und bei mehreren Durchschlägen schwer abreissbar und auseinandernehmbar sind. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Endlosformulare tritt bei Ausführungen mit vielen Durchschlägen dadurch auf, dass insbesondere bei Beschriftungsgeräten kleiner EDV-Anlagen bzw. sogenannter Bürocomputer deren Transportstacheln die bei starken Formularsätzen notwendigerweise auch dicken Aussenkanten, die die Transportlochungen enthalten, nicht mehr, zumindest nicht fehlerfrei transportieren. Des weiteren führen Sätze mit vielen Durchschlägen bei diesem herkömmlichen Endlosformularsatz in den engen Umschlingungen der kleinen Geräte zu Stau und Verschiebungen, die sich schnell aufbauen und den ordnungsgemässen Betrieb des Gerätes verhindern.Endless form sets are known which are suitable for use in labeling devices, in particular in those of EDP systems. These form sets each have a transport perforation on both edges, into which the transport spikes of the labeling device can engage. As a rule, such continuous form sets are provided with a transverse perforation at a distance of 12 ", through which a zigzag stacking and subsequent tearing off is possible after printing. With such form sets, the copies have the same format as the first sheet and have Such sets of forms have the disadvantage that they are not in DIN format and are difficult to tear off and take apart in the case of multiple copies. A further disadvantage of these continuous forms occurs in versions with many copies in that especially with labeling devices small EDP systems or so-called office computers whose transport spikes no longer, or at least not correctly, transport the outer edges, which are necessarily thick in the case of strong form sets, which contain the transport perforations Endless forms set in the narrow wrapping of the small devices to jam and displacement, which build up quickly and prevent the proper operation of the device.
Es ist deshalb auch schon bekannt, sogenannte Trägerbandsätze zu verwenden, bei denen Einzelsätze, vorzugsweise im DIN-Format, vorgefertigt und auf ein darunterliegendes Endlos-Trägerband mit Transportlochung geklebt werden. Um zu vermeiden, dass derartige Trägerbandsätze an ihrer Trennleiste im Beschriftungsgerät hängenbleiben, ist vorgesehen, die Einzelsätze so auf ein Trägerband aufzubringen, dass sie sich überlappen. Dies bedingt, dass das Trägerband in der Hälfte seines Formats eine Querperforation aufweist und dort umgeknickt wird. Das Trägerband ist dabei für den Druckvorgang nicht verwertbar und muss anschliessend weggeworfen werden. Ein weiterer Nachteil des Trägerbandsatzes besteht darin, dass der aufliegende Einzelsatz seitlich nicht befestigt oder gehalten werden kann und dadurch von einer Anzahl häufig verwendeter Beschriftungsgeräte-Typen verschoben wird, sobald der untere Teil des Satzes beschriftet werden muss, so dass die Nutzung der Vorteile des Trägerbandsatzes in weiten Bereichen nicht möglich ist.It is therefore also known to use so-called carrier tape sets, in which individual sets, preferably in DIN format, are prefabricated and glued to an endless carrier tape with transport perforations underneath. In order to prevent such carrier tape sets from getting caught on their separating strip in the labeling device, it is provided that the individual sets are applied to a carrier tape in such a way that they overlap. This means that the carrier tape has a transverse perforation in half of its format and is folded over there. The carrier tape cannot be used for the printing process and must then be thrown away. Another disadvantage of the carrier tape set is that the individual set lying on top cannot be attached or held laterally and is therefore moved by a number of frequently used labeling device types as soon as the lower part of the set has to be labeled, so that the advantages of the carrier tape set are used is not possible in wide areas.
Aus der US-PS 2 235 197 ist es bekannt, Formularsätze so zu gestalten, dass durch deckungsgleiche Perforationen die auf einem Trägerblatt angeordneten Durchschläge einheitlich abgetrennt werden können. Die Endlosformulare gemäss der US-PS 2 235 197 haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass das einheitliche Trägerband nicht auf das Format der Durchschläge gebracht werden kann.It is known from US Pat. No. 2,235,197 to design sets of forms in such a way that the perforations arranged on a carrier sheet can be separated uniformly by congruent perforations. However, the endless forms according to US Pat. No. 2,235,197 have the disadvantage that the uniform carrier tape cannot be brought down to the format of the copies.
Aus der CH-A-575 838 ist ein Formularsatz bekannt, bei dem durch Perforationen das gewünschte Format einzelner Blätter erzielt werden kann. Das unterste Blatt wird über eine Verlängerung auf das oberste Blatt des folgenden Formularsatzes geführt. Es besteht somit ein alternierender Wechsel zwischen der Unterseite des Endlosformulars und der Oberseite, wo es endet. Derartige Formularsätze haben den Nachteil, dass sie kein durchgehendes Trägerband besitzen und somit aufwendiger herzustellen sind und ihre Benutzung infolge des alternierenden Wechsels zu Störungen im Papiertransport führen kann.A set of forms is known from CH-A-575 838 in which the desired format of individual sheets can be achieved by perforations. The bottom sheet is extended to the top sheet of the following set of forms. There is thus an alternating change between the bottom of the continuous form and the top where it ends. Such sets of forms have the disadvantage that they do not have a continuous carrier tape and are therefore more complex to manufacture and their use can lead to disruptions in paper transport due to the alternating change.
Aus der DE-PS 2 544 670 ist ein Formularsatz bekannt, bei dem auf einem durchgehenden Trägerband Durchschreibesätze so angeordnet sind, dass zwischen zwei Durchschreibesätzen jeweils ein freies Feld auf dem Trägerband verbleibt. Die Durchschreibesätze sind hierbei so auf dem Trägerband angeordnet, dass ihre Trennperforation in der Transportrichtung verläuft. Hierdurch besteht die Gefahr, dass offen darliegende Seitenkanten der Formularsätze zu Störungen im Drukkerbereich führen.From DE-PS 2 544 670 a set of forms is known in which copy sets are arranged on a continuous carrier tape in such a way that a free field remains on the carrier tape between two copy records. The copy sets are arranged on the carrier tape in such a way that their separation perforation runs in the transport direction. As a result, there is a risk that exposed side edges of the form sets lead to faults in the printer area.
Aus der US-PS 2 306 900 ist ein Endlosformularsatz bekannt, bei dem die Transportlochung durch eine Perforation abgetrennt werden kann, so dass die Blätter dieses Formularsatzes auf eine einheitliche Breite gebracht werden können. Dieser Formularsatz hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass die einzelnen Formulare, insbesondere wenn es sich um eine grössere Anzahl von übereinander geschichteten Formularen handelt, nicht Z-förmig gefaltet werden können, da sämtliche Durchschläge über die gesamte Länge des Endlosformularsatzes durchlaufend angeordnet sind.An endless form set is known from US Pat. No. 2,306,900, in which the transport perforation can be separated by a perforation, so that the sheets of this form set can be brought to a uniform width. However, this form set has the disadvantage that the individual forms, especially if there are a large number of forms stacked on top of one another, cannot be folded in a Z-shape, since all copies are arranged continuously over the entire length of the continuous form set.
Zur Beseitigung dieses Nachteils wird in der GB-PS 752 746 vorgeschlagen, die Durchschläge auf einem Formularsatz in einem gewissen Abstand zueinander anzuordnen. Nachteil in der GB-PS 752 746 beschriebenen Formularsätze ist es jedoch, dass das unterste Trägerblatt nicht in Formularblätter, die den Durchschlagblättern bezüglich des Formats entsprechen, aufgeteilt werden kann.To overcome this disadvantage, GB-PS 752 746 proposes to arrange the copies on a set of forms at a certain distance from one another. A disadvantage in the form sets described in GB-PS 752 746, however, is that the bottom carrier sheet cannot be divided into form sheets which correspond to the copy sheets with regard to the format.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile der vorgenannten Endlosformulare zu vermeiden und ein Endlosformular zu schaffen, das leicht Z-förmig faltbar ist, ohne dass einzelne Blätter gestreckt oder gestaucht werden und bei dem alle Blätter nach Trennung gleich breit und das aus dem Trägerband hervorgehende erste Blatt geringfügig länger ist als die Durchschlagsblätter. Ferner soll einem ersten Blatt mit Durchschlägen ein freies erstes Blatt folgen, auf dem keine Durchschläge angeordnet sind und somit weiteren Aufgaben, vorzugsweise der Erstellung einer abtrennbaren Karteikarte zugeführt werden kann.The invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the aforementioned endless forms and to create an endless form that is easy to fold in a Z-shape without individual sheets are stretched or compressed and in which all sheets after separation of the same width and that from the carrier tape resulting first sheet is slightly longer than the copy sheets. Furthermore, a first sheet with punctures is to be followed by a free first sheet on which no punctures are arranged and thus other tasks, preferably the creation of a detachable index card can be fed.
Erfindungsgemäss wird dies bei einem Endlosformularsatz gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this is solved in a continuous form set according to the preamble of claim 1 by the characterizing part of claim 1.
Das erfindungsgemäss ausgebildete Endlosformular weist die Vorteile sowohl der bekannten Endlosformularsätze wie auch der Trägerbandsätze auf, vermeidet jedoch deren Nachteile. Mit seiner Hilfe können aus jedem für Beschriftungsgeräte, wie EDV-Drucker, automatische Schreibmaschinen und dgl., geeigneten Endlos-Papierformat DIN-Formate hergestellt werden. Es ist kein zusätzliches Trägerband erforderlich. Die Sätze sind nach der Beschriftung leicht trennbar und es tritt kein Verschieben der Durchschläge oder ein Verklemmen im Beschriftungsgerät auf. Die Gefahr von Materialstau bei Sätzen mit vielen Durchschlägen ist vermieden, weil die Durchschläge am Ende des Formulars jeweils freigegeben werden. Die Transportstacheln können fehlerfrei arbeiten, weil nur mittels des ersten Blattes des Endlosformulars transportiert wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäss ausgebildeten Endlosformulars besteht darin, dass keine zusätzlichen, verteuernden Hefttechniken aufgewendet werden müssen, wie beim konventionellen Endlosformularsatz unumgänglich, sobald die Notwendigkeit besteht, dass für die weitere Verwendung des beschrifteten Formularsatzes alle oder einige Blätter zunächst noch beieinanderbleiben müssen.The continuous form designed according to the invention has the advantages of both the known continuous form sets and the carrier tape sets, but avoids their disadvantages. With its help, DIN-formats can be made from any suitable endless paper format suitable for labeling devices such as EDP printers, automatic typewriters and the like. No additional carrier tape is required. The sentences are easily separable after labeling and there is no shifting of the punctures or jamming in the labeling device. The risk of material jam for sets with many copies is avoided because the copies are released at the end of the form. The transport spikes can work correctly because only the first sheet of the continuous form is used for transport. Another advantage of the continuous form designed according to the invention is that no additional, expensive stapling techniques have to be used, as is unavoidable in the conventional continuous form set, as soon as there is a need that all or some sheets have to remain together for the further use of the labeled form set.
Gemäss einer Ausbildung der Erfindung hat zur Herstellung von DIN-A4-Sätzen im Hochformat das erste Blatt eine Breite von etwa 240 mm und weist jeweils Querperforationen im Abstand von etwa 12%" auf und die Zusatzperforation ist im Abstand von etwa 18 mm von der Querperforation angeordnet. Zur Herstellung von DIN-A4-Sätzen im Querformat hat das erste Blatt eine Breite von mindestens etwa 330 mm und weist jeweils Querperforationen im Abstand von etwa 9" auf und die Zusatzperforation ist im Abstand von etwa 18 mm von der Querperforation angeordnet. In entsprechender Weise lassen sich beliebige andere Formate, insbesondere DIN-A5-Hochformat aus 175 bis 180 mm Breite, oder sogenanntes Sechstel-DIN (DIN A4 verkürzt) aus etwa 240 mm Breite herstellen.According to an embodiment of the invention, for the production of A4 sets in portrait format, the first sheet has a width of approximately 240 mm and each has transverse perforations at a distance of approximately 12% and the additional perforation is at a distance of approximately 18 mm from the transverse perforation For the production of A4 sets in landscape format, the first sheet has a width of at least approximately 330 mm and each has transverse perforations at a distance of approximately 9 "and the additional perforation is arranged at a distance of approximately 18 mm from the transverse perforation. Any other format, in particular DIN A5 portrait format from 175 to 180 mm wide, or so-called sixth DIN (A4 shortened) from approximately 240 mm width can be produced in a corresponding manner.
Das erfindungsgemässe Endlosformular wird in der Weise in das Beschriftungsgerät eingelegt, dass die Durchschläge mit den Kohlepapieren (falls vorhanden) zwischen das erste Blatt und die Schreibauflage im Beschriftungsgerät zu liegen kommen. Hierdurch werden die Durchschläge gegen die Schreibauflage gedrückt und können daher weder aufspringen noch sich verschieben; auch ein Verklemmen im Gerät wird dadurch verhindert.The continuous form according to the invention is inserted into the labeling device in such a way that the carbon paper copies (if present) come to rest between the first sheet and the writing pad in the labeling device. As a result, the copies are pressed against the writing pad and can therefore neither jump open nor move; this also prevents jamming in the device.
Bei der EDV-Beschriftung von Endlosformularen tritt sehr häufig die Notwendigkeit des sogenannten «direkten Eingriffs» auf, d.h., es ist erforderlich, ein beschriftetes Formular nach seiner Fertigstellung sofort dem EDV-Drucker entnehmen zu können. Beispielsweise ist dies bei Lieferscheinen, Rechnungen von Reparaturwerkstätten, Krankenhausformularen und dgl. der Fall. Dem stehen jedoch konstruktive Eigenheiten vieler marktgängiger EDV-Beschriftungsgeräte entgegen, bei denen die Transportvorrichtung (Traktor) sich so weit vor dem Druckwerk befindet, dass dazwischen ein ganzes Formular als Überbrükkung gebraucht wird. Dies bringt mit sich, dass ein ganzer Satz des Formulars, bestehend aus dem ersten Blatt und Durchschlägen, weggeworfen werden müsste, was einen unnötigen und kostspieligen Verbrauch an Formularpapier bedeutet.In the case of EDP labeling of continuous forms, the need for so-called "direct intervention" very often arises, i.e. it is necessary to be able to remove a labeled form from the EDP printer immediately after its completion. For example, this is the case with delivery notes, invoices from repair shops, hospital forms and the like. However, this is opposed to the design peculiarities of many commercially available IT labeling devices, in which the transport device (tractor) is located so far in front of the printing unit that an entire form is used as a bridge in between. This means that an entire set of the form, consisting of the first sheet and copies, would have to be thrown away, which means an unnecessary and costly consumption of form paper.
Aus diesem Grunde ist gemäss einer besonderen Ausbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Durchschläge nicht an jedem ersten Blatt angeordnet sind, sondern dass sich dazwischen als Brücke ein freies erstes Blatt befindet, das nicht mit Durchschlägen versehen ist. Dieses freie erste Blatt kann unbeschriftet sein oder gemäss einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ebenfalls eine Funktion ausüben. Eine derartige Funktion ist, das freie erste Blatt mit Werbeaussagen zu versehen. Zweckmässigerweise wird dann die Perforation zwischen dem vorausgehenden ersten Blatt mit Durchschlägen und dem freien ersten Blatt so ausgebildet, dass lediglich ein Falten, nicht aber ein einfaches Abreissen möglich ist.For this reason, it is provided according to a special embodiment of the invention that the punctures are not arranged on each first sheet, but that there is a free first sheet between them, which is not provided with punctures. This free first sheet can be unlabeled or, according to an advantageous development of the invention, can also perform a function. One such function is to provide the first sheet with advertising messages. The perforation between the preceding first sheet with punctures and the free first sheet is then expediently formed such that only folding, but not simple tearing off, is possible.
Das freie erste Blatt kann jedoch auch ganz oder teilweise eine Beschriftung tragen, die für Eintragungen vorgesehen ist, die von Hand vorzunehmen sind. Durch eine Querperforation ist eine Unterteilung in eine Werbefläche und eine oder mehrere Formularflächen möglich. Durch die Querperforation können dabei auch eine oder mehrere Karteikarten gebildet werden, wie sie beispielsweise im Zusammenhang mit Krankenhausformularen gebraucht werden. Das Format dieser Karteikarten lässt sich durch zusätzliche Längsperforationen beliebig wählen.The free first sheet can, however, also bear all or part of a label which is intended for entries which are to be made by hand. A transverse perforation enables a division into an advertising space and one or more form areas. The transverse perforation can also be used to form one or more index cards, such as those used in connection with hospital forms. The format of these index cards can be chosen by additional longitudinal perforations.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung können den in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen entnommen werden.Further details and advantages of the invention can be found in the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.

In Fig. 1 besteht das erfindungsgemässe Endlosformular aus Formularsätzen I, 11, 111, ... mit jeweils einem ersten Blatt 1, das an beiden Seiten mit je einer Längsperforation 2 versehen ist. Hierdurch wird je ein Randstreifen 3 gebildet, in dem die für den Transport in Beschriftungsgeräten übliche Lochung 4 vorgesehen ist, in die die Transportstacheln dieser Geräte eingreifen können. Mittels der Perforation 2 können diese Randstreifen nach dem Bedrucken abgetrennt werden. Die Perforationen 2 werden dabei so angebracht, dass nach der Abtrennung der Randstreifen 3 das in dieser Richtung gewünschte Mass, beispielsweise das eines DIN-Formats, verbleibt.In Fig. 1, the continuous form according to the invention consists of form sets I, 11, 111, ... each with a first sheet 1, which is provided on both sides with a longitudinal perforation 2. In this way, an edge strip 3 is formed, in which the perforation 4, which is usual for transport in labeling devices, is provided, into which the transport spikes of these devices can engage. By means of the perforation 2, these edge strips can be separated off after printing. The perforations 2 are applied in such a way that after the edge strips 3 have been separated off, the dimension desired in this direction, for example that of a DIN format, remains.
Auf dem ersten Blatt 1 sind mittels eines Heftrandes 5 eine Reihe von Durchschlägen 6 sowie die erforderlichen Kohlepapiere 7 angeordnet. Die Kohlepapiere 7 können entfallen, wenn selbstdurchschreibende Papiere 6 verwendet werden. Die Durchschläge 6 und gegebenenfalls die Kohlepapiere 7 sind in dem Heftrand 5 miteinander verbunden, vorzugsweise miteinander verklebt, und der Heftrand 5 ist seinerseits auf dem ersten Blatt 1 befestigt, vorzugsweise punktuell aufgeklebt. Der Heftrand 5 ist durch eine Perforation 8 begrenzt, die durch alle Durchschläge durchgeht. Die Kohlepapiere 7 weisen in der Regel keine Perforation auf, so dass sie beim Abreissen des Heftrandes 5 an diesem verbleiben. Die Kohlepapiere 7 sind am unteren Ende daher meist auch kürzer als die Durchschläge 6, so dass sie auch dann mit dem Heftrand 5 herausgezogen werden können, wenn die Durchschläge 6 am unteren (in der Zeichnung linken) Ende festgehalten werden.On the first sheet 1, a series of copies 6 and the necessary carbon papers 7 are arranged by means of a
Das erste Blatt 1 ist nahe seinem oberen (in der Zeichnung rechten) Ende erfindungsgemäss mit einer Zusatzperforation 9 versehen, die mit der Perforation 8 der Durchschläge 6 fluchtet. Nach Abriss des durch diese Zusatzperforation 9 gebildeten Randes hat das erste Blatt 1 das gewünschte Format, vorzugsweise DIN-Format.According to the invention, the first sheet 1 is provided near its upper end (on the right in the drawing) with an
Die auf das erste Blatt 1 mittels des Heftrandes 5 aufgeklebten Durchschläge 6 enden an ihrem unteren Ende wenige Millimeter vor der Querperforation 10 des ersten Blattes. Durch diese Querperforation 10 sind die aufeinanderfolgenden Sätze I, II, III, ... voneinander abtrennbar. Ausserdem werden die Sätze um diese Perforation geknickt und hierdurch in bekannter Weise zickzack-förmig so aufgestapelt, dass jeweils gleichartige Seiten, also jeweils die ersten Seiten und jeweils die letzten Durchschläge aufeinanderfolgender Sätze aufeinanderliegen.The punches 6 glued onto the first sheet 1 by means of the
