A system for binding printed works consisting of sheets each comprising a first portion for reading and a second portion for binding. Binding is achieved by clamping all the second sheet portions between two reinforcing strips. The first portion of each sheet comprises a data medium 2 with a coating material on both sides thereof forming a data-medium-free strip 3 having a reduced thickness relative to the first sheet portion and a predetermined width that is greater than the width of the reinforcing strips.

Description

La présente invention concerne les systèmes de reliure d'ouvrages imprimés et, plus particulièrement, du type de ceux qui comprennent un grand nombre de pages et qui sont destinés à une consultation intensive.The present invention relates to binding systems of printed works and, more particularly, of the type of those which include a large number of pages and which are intended for a intensive consultation.

De manière connue, les ouvrages volumineux, tels que les catalogues, dictionnaires, annuaires, encyclopédies, etc... qui sont destinés à une manipulation intensive sont reliés, soit de façon permanente à l'aide de matériaux souples tels que le papier, du tissu, du cuir ou des matières plastiques, soit de façon amovible à l'aide de classeurs ou de reliures en spirale, d'où il résulte une usure rapide des pages et/ou de la reliure de l'ouvrage.In known manner, bulky works, such as catalogs, dictionaries, directories, encyclopedias, etc ... which are intended for intensive handling are connected either permanent using flexible materials such as paper, fabric, leather or plastics, either removably using binders or spiral binders, resulting in wear quick pages and / or binding of the book.

On a déjà proposé, par exemple dans le document GB-A-0 597 192, de réaliser un livre, en particulier pour les enfants, dans lequel la partie imprimée des feuilles est contenue dans une surface se terminant à une certaine distance de l'un des bords de la feuille, de façon à laisser une marge vierge relativement large adjacente à ce bord. Cette marge est perforée de deux ou de plusieurs trous circulaires, s'étendant à travers les couvertures et toutes les feuilles du livre, et espacées de ce bord pour recevoir les broches d'un classeur. Les feuilles du livre sont réunies ensemble par un fil ou par tout autre moyen de fixation disposé à l'opposé des perforations circulaires, pour consolider et renforcer le bord du livre en des endroits opposés aux perforations circulaires. We have already proposed, for example in document GB-A-0 597 192, to produce a book, especially for children, in which the printed part of the sheets is contained in a surface ending at a certain distance from one of the edges of the sheet, so as to leave a relatively large blank margin adjacent to this edge. This margin is perforated with two or more holes circular, extending through the covers and all leaves of the book, and spaced from this edge to receive the pins a workbook. The sheets of the book are joined together by a thread or by any other fixing means arranged opposite the circular perforations, to consolidate and strengthen the edge of the delivers in places opposite to circular perforations.

On connaít aussi du document US-A-2 706 645, un livre comprenant un corps de feuilles, des pages de garde, un renfort cartonné de chaque côté des feuilles articulées sur des feuilles de couverture en carton. Des fixations s'étendent à travers le corps des feuilles, les pages de garde et les renforts cartonnés. Une gaine protectrice est collée sur la partie extérieure des feuilles de couvertures en carton, de l'articulation et des renforts cartonnés; elle s'étend autour du dos du livre, et recouvre les fixations. Les pages de garde sont collées à la surface intérieure des feuilles de couverture en carton et des articulations.We also know from document US-A-2 706 645, a book comprising a body of sheets, cover pages, a reinforcement cardboard on each side of the leaves articulated on sheets of cardboard cover. Fasteners extend through the body of the sheets, cover pages and cardboard reinforcements. A sheath protective tape is glued to the outside of the sheets cardboard covers, articulation and cardboard reinforcements; it extends around the back of the book, and covers the fixings. The cover pages are glued to the inside surface of the sheets of cardboard cover and joints.

On connaít également du document FR-A-2 464 827, un procédé d'assemblage de feuilles, selon lequel on place une feuille de garde au-dessus et au-dessous d'une pile de feuilles, on perce la pile de feuilles le long d'un des bords de la pile, on introduit dans les trous des pointes formées sur une bande de matériau thermosoudable, on dispose sur les pointes une autre bande de matériau thermosoudable percée de trous correspondants, on presse les deux bandes l'une vers l'autre, on soude la deuxième bande sur les pointes de la première bande, on colle une feuille de carton résistant sur chaque feuille de garde. La feuille de carton a une dimension légèrement inférieure à celle de la surface de la feuille de garde laissée libre par la bande thermosoudable, pour pouvoir la coller à une distance suffisante de cette bande et, ainsi, lui permettre de pivoter librement autour de son arête face à la bande thermosoudable.Also known from document FR-A-2 464 827, a process sheet assembly, where you put a cover sheet above and below a pile of sheets, we pierce the pile of sheets along one of the edges of the pile, we introduce in the point holes formed on a strip of heat-sealable material, has another strip of heat-sealable material on the tips pierced with corresponding holes, the two bands are pressed one towards the other, we weld the second strip on the tips of the first tape, we stick a sheet of resistant cardboard on each sheet of keep. The cardboard sheet has a dimension slightly less than that of the surface of the cover sheet left free by the strip heat sealable, to be able to stick it at a sufficient distance from this band and thus allow it to pivot freely around its edge facing the heat-sealable strip.

Ces dispositifs et procédés connus sont inadaptés aux ouvrages imprimés contenant un grand nombre de pages et, surtout, ils ne permettent pas de protéger les feuilles de l'ouvrage relié lorsqu'il est souvent consulté. These known devices and methods are unsuitable for printed works containing a large number of pages and, above all, they do not protect the sheets of the bound work when it is often consulted.

La présente invention se place dans ce contexte et a pour objet de proposer un système de reliure permettant de relier des ouvrages imprimés contenant, en particulier, un grand nombre de feuilles, assurant une protection efficace des feuilles ainsi reliées pour permettre leur consultation par un grand nombre de personnes, et assurant également une bonne lisibilité des feuilles au voisinage de la reliure.The present invention is placed in this context and has for purpose of proposing a binding system making it possible to link printed works containing, in particular, a large number of sheets, ensuring effective protection of the sheets thus bound to allow their consultation by a large number of people, and also ensuring good legibility of the sheets in the vicinity of the binding.

Dans ce but, la présente invention a pour objet un système de reliure d'ouvrages imprimés constitués de feuilles comportant chacune une première partie destinée à la consultation et une seconde partie destinée à la reliure, dans lequel la reliure est obtenue par pincement de l'ensemble des secondes parties des feuilles entre deux bandes de renforcement.To this end, the subject of the present invention is a system binding of printed works consisting of sheets comprising each a first part intended for consultation and a second part intended for binding, in which binding is obtained by pinching of all the second parts of the leaves between two reinforcement strips.

Selon l'invention, la première partie de chaque feuille comporte un support d'informations recouvert sur ses deux faces d'une matière d'enrobage, et la matière d'enrobage forme une bande dépourvue de support d'informations, d'épaisseur inférieure à celle de la première partie de la feuille et de largeur prédéterminée, supérieure à la largeur de serrage des bandes de renforcement.According to the invention, the first part of each sheet has an information carrier covered on both sides with coating material, and the coating material forms a strip without of information carrier, of thickness less than that of the first part of the sheet and of predetermined width, greater the clamping width of the reinforcement strips.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les bandes de renforcement coopèrent avec des tiges traversant des perforations régulièrement réparties le long du bord de la seconde partie des feuilles.According to a characteristic of the invention, the strips of reinforcement cooperate with rods passing through perforations evenly distributed along the edge of the second part of the leaves.

De façon préférentielle, les tiges sont constituées par des tiges de vis coopérant avec des écrous, les têtes de vis et les écrous étant situés de part et d'autre des bandes de renforcement. Preferably, the rods are formed by screw rods cooperating with nuts, screw heads and nuts being located on either side of the reinforcing strips.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les deux bandes de renforcement sont formées dans des profilés comportant chacun une première aile pour le serrage des feuilles de l'ouvrage et une deuxième aile destinée à être fixée sur un meuble.According to an advantageous embodiment, the two strips of reinforcement are formed in profiles each having a first wing for tightening the sheets of the work and a second wing intended to be fixed on a piece of furniture.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation également avantageux, les deux bandes de renforcement sont réalisées d'une seule pièce, et sont réunies par une partie centrale amincie et souple.According to another equally advantageous embodiment, the two reinforcing strips are made in one piece, and are joined by a thinned and flexible central part.

D'autres buts, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation donné à titre illustratif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:

Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the following description of an exemplary embodiment given by way of illustration, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a sheet for use in the binding system according to the present invention;

  • Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the binding system according to the present invention.

En référence aux Figures 1 et 2, on a représenté une feuille destinée à être reliée selon le système de reliure de la présente invention, comportant une première partie destinée à la consultation et une seconde partie destinée à la reliure. La première partie comporte un support d'informations 2, constitué par exemple d'une feuille de papier imprimée de texte et/ou d'images. Le support d'informations (ou la feuille de papier) 2 comporte lui-même une marge 4 au moins du côté de la feuille destiné à être relié, de largeur M, cette marge 4 étant dépourvue d'informations.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a sheet intended to be bound according to the binding system of the present invention, comprising a first part intended for the consultation and a second part intended for binding. The first one part includes an information carrier 2, constituted for example a sheet of paper printed with text and / or images. The support information sheet (or sheet of paper) 2 itself has a margin 4 at least on the side of the sheet intended to be connected, of width M, this margin 4 being devoid of information.

La feuille de papier 2 est, de plus, recouverte sur ses deux faces, par un procédé connu sous le nom de plastification ou d'encapsulation, d'une matière d'enrobage 5, par exemple une pellicule 5 de matériau plastique transparent, utilisable dans de tels procédés. Une pellicule de ce type a généralement une épaisseur E (Figure 2), par exemple, inférieure ou égale à environ 75 microns. Les feuilles de couverture sont réalisées de la même façon, une feuille cartonnée 2' (Figure 3) étant recouverte sur ses deux faces d'une pellicule 5.The sheet of paper 2 is also covered on its two sides, by a process known as plasticization or encapsulation, of a coating material 5, for example a film 5 of transparent plastic material, usable in such processes. A film of this type generally has a thickness E (Figure 2), for example, less than or equal to about 75 microns. The leaves of cover are made in the same way, a cardboard sheet 2 ' (Figure 3) being covered on both sides with a film 5.

Conformément à la présente invention, les dimensions de la pellicule 5 sont supérieures à celles de la feuille de papier 2 et de la feuille cartonnée 2' du côté de celles-ci devant être relié, de façon à ménager une bande 3 de largeur D prédéterminée et dépourvue de support d'informations, cette bande 3 formant la seconde partie de la feuille destinée à la reliure.In accordance with the present invention, the dimensions of the film 5 are superior to that of sheet of paper 2 and the cardboard sheet 2 'on the side thereof to be connected, of so as to provide a strip 3 of width D predetermined and devoid of information carrier, this strip 3 forming the second part of the sheet for binding.

Une telle reliure est obtenue, comme par exemple selon le document FR-A-2 464 827 précité, par pincement des feuilles entre deux bandes de renforcement 7, de largeur de serrage d. Ces bandes de renforcement 7 peuvent coopérer avec des tiges 6 traversant des perforations régulièrement réparties le long du bord de la seconde partie des feuilles destinée à la reliure. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les Figures, les tiges 6 sont constituées par des tiges de vis coopérant avec des écrous, les têtes de vis et les écrous étant situés de part et d'autre des bandes de renforcement 7. On pourra utiliser des vis classiques, des vis de type dit "inviolable ", ou un assemblage indémontable tel que des rivets.Such a binding is obtained, as for example according to the document FR-A-2 464 827 cited above, by pinching the sheets between two reinforcement strips 7, of clamping width d. These bands of reinforcement 7 can cooperate with rods 6 passing through perforations evenly distributed along the edge of the second part of the sheets intended for binding. In the example of embodiment shown in the Figures, the rods 6 are made by screw rods cooperating with nuts, the screw heads and the nuts being located on either side of the reinforcement strips 7. We can use conventional screws, so-called type screws "inviolable", or a non-removable assembly such as rivets.

Les feuilles de l'ouvrage, y compris les deux feuilles de couverture, présentent ainsi chacune une bande 3 de largeur D, d'épaisseur inférieure à celle de la partie destinée à la consultation, et sensiblement égale à deux fois celle de la pellicule d'enrobage, soit sensiblement inférieure ou égale à environ 150 microns dans l'exemple utilisé.The sheets of the book, including the two sheets of cover, thus each have a band 3 of width D, of thickness less than that of the part intended for the consultation, and substantially equal to twice that of film of coating, either substantially less than or equal to approximately 150 microns in the example used.

De manière à améliorer la lisibilité des supports d'information 2 au voisinage de cette reliure, la largeur D de la bande 3 est supérieure d'une quantité prédéterminée à la largeur d des bandes de renforcement 7 entre lesquelles les feuilles de l'ouvrage sont serrées.In order to improve the readability of the supports information 2 in the vicinity of this binding, the width D of the strip 3 is greater by a predetermined amount than the width d of the reinforcement strips 7 between which the sheets of the work are tight.

De façon plus précise, cette largeur D, représentant la marge de la feuille à relier, soit encore la distance entre le bord de la feuille de l'ouvrage et le bord du support d'informations 2 ou 2' est déterminée de manière générale par la formule suivante : D ≥ K [d + π3 (NE + a) - M] dans laquelle :

  • K est une constante déterminée par les propriétés mécaniques de la matière d'enrobage 5;
  • a est une constante déterminée par l'épaisseur de la couverture 2' ;
  • d est la largeur de la zone de serrage 1;
  • M est la largeur de la marge du support d'informations 2 (distance entre le bord des informations et le bord de la feuille de papier);
  • N est le nombre de feuilles constituant l'ouvrage imprimé, et
  • E est l'épaisseur de la matière d'enrobage 5.
    • More precisely, this width D, representing the margin of the sheet to be bound, that is to say the distance between the edge of the sheet of the book and the edge of the information carrier 2 or 2 ′ is generally determined by the following formula: D ≥ K [d + π 3 (NE + a) - M] in which :
  • K is a constant determined by the mechanical properties of the coating material 5;
  • a is a constant determined by the thickness of the cover 2 ';
  • d is the width of the clamping area 1;
  • M is the width of the margin of the information carrier 2 (distance between the edge of the information and the edge of the sheet of paper);
  • N is the number of sheets making up the printed work, and
  • E is the thickness of the coating material 5.

    • Pour les matières plastiques souples utilisées dans les procédés de plastification ou d'encapsulation, et dont l'épaisseur est inférieure ou égale à environ 75 microns, on peut considérer que K est très voisin de 1.For flexible plastics used in plasticization or encapsulation processes, the thickness of which is less than or equal to about 75 microns, we can consider that K is very close to 1.

    Comme on l'a représenté sur la Figure 7, les feuilles à relier sont assemblées en pile, puis serrées entre deux bandes de renforcement 7 sur une largeur d de la bande 3, de telle sorte qu'il subsiste une bande de largeur D-d de flexibilité maximale entre le bord des bandes 7 et le bord des supports d'informations 2.As shown in Figure 7, the sheets to be bound are assembled in a stack, then clamped between two strips of reinforcement 7 over a width d of the strip 3, so that it there remains a strip of width D-d of maximum flexibility between the edge of the strips 7 and the edge of the information carriers 2.

    Comme on l'a représenté sur les Figures 3 à 6, cette largeur D-d, où D est déterminé par la formule ci-dessus, permet d'assurer la bonne lisibilité des pages de l'ouvrage ainsi relié, et la souplesse nécessaire à la consultation de l'ouvrage, même si ce dernier comporte un grand nombre de feuilles.As shown in Figures 3 to 6, this width D-d, where D is determined by the above formula, ensures the good readability of the pages of the book thus bound, and flexibility necessary for viewing the work, even if it includes a large number of leaves.

    Pour les ouvrages destinés à une consultation intensive par le public, tels que les annuaires ou les catalogues, on peut prévoir, comme on l'a représenté sur les Figures 3 et 4, de réaliser les bandes de renforcement 7 sous forme de profilés, par exemple en équerres. Une première aile du profilé est utilisée pour le serrage des feuilles de l'ouvrage, une deuxième aile du profilé étant fixée à l'aide de vis 8 sur un meuble tel qu'une table, un comptoir ou un pupitre. Ces vis peuvent être apparentes comme sur la Figure 3, ou dissimulées comme sur la Figure 4, les deuxièmes ailes des profilés étant dirigées l'une vers l'autre. Une telle disposition a pour avantage d'éviter la disparition des ouvrages destinés à une consultation publique et, en plus, de leur assigner un emplacement fixe. For works intended for intensive consultation by the public, such as directories or catalogs, we can expect, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, to make the strips reinforcement 7 in the form of profiles, for example at angles. A first wing of the profile is used for tightening the sheets of the structure, a second wing of the profile being fixed using screws 8 on furniture such as a table, counter or desk. These screws may be apparent as in Figure 3, or concealed as in Figure 4, the second wings of the profiles being directed one towards the other. The advantage of such a provision is that it avoids the disappearance of works intended for public consultation and, in more, assign them a fixed location.

    Dans le cas où ces dernières contraintes sont moins impératives, on pourra préférer une reliure telle qu'on l'a représentée sur les Figures 5 et 6, où les bandes de renforcement 7 sont réalisées d'une seule pièce, et sont réunies par une partie centrale 9 amincie et souple, de façon à pouvoir être utilisée pour relier des ouvrages de différentes épaisseurs.In the event that these latter constraints are less imperatives, we may prefer a binding as we have it shown in Figures 5 and 6, where the reinforcing strips 7 are made in one piece, and are joined by a part central 9 thinned and flexible, so that it can be used for connect works of different thicknesses.

    De plus, on voit que l'ensemble de feuilles reliées selon l'invention présente entre les bandes de renforcement 7 une épaisseur, égale à 2*NE, c'est à dire deux fois le nombre N de feuilles multiplié par l'épaisseur E de la matière d'enrobage 5, inférieure à l'épaisseur du reste de l'ouvrage, dans la partie destinée à la consultation, et égale à 2*NE + e, avec e = (N-2)*E' + 2E'' où E' est l'épaisseur d'un support d'informations 2, et où E'' est l'épaisseur d'une feuille cartonnée 2' de couverture.In addition, it can be seen that the set of connected sheets according to the invention has a thickness between the reinforcing strips 7 equal to 2 * NE, that is to say twice the number N of sheets multiplied by the thickness E of the coating material 5, less than the thickness of the rest of the structure, in the part intended for consultation, and equal to 2 * NE + e , with e = (N-2) * E '+ 2E'' where E 'is the thickness of an information carrier 2, and where E''is the thickness of a cardboard sheet 2' of cover.

    On pourra alors avantageusement choisir, en particulier pour le mode de réalisation des Figures 5 et 6, des bandes de renforcement 7 telles que leur épaisseur, ajoutée à celle des têtes de vis 6 et des écrous qui leur sont associés, soit inférieure à la valeur e déterminée ci-dessus. Les ouvrages ainsi reliés pourront alors être facilement empilés les uns sur les autres, sans que les bandes de renforcement viennent contrarier cet empilement.We can then advantageously choose, in particular for the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, reinforcing strips 7 such as their thickness, added to that of the screw heads 6 and nuts associated with them, ie less than the value e determined above. The works thus linked can then be easily stacked on top of each other, without the strips of reinforcement thwart this stacking.

    On a donc bien réalisé conformément à la présente invention un système de reliure permettant de relier de façon simple des ouvrages imprimés contenant, en particulier, un grand nombre de feuilles. Les feuilles ainsi reliées sont efficacement protégées contre les salissures et autres souillures, de même que contre l'arrachage malveillant des feuilles de l'ouvrage ainsi relié. Un tel ouvrage est donc particulièrement bien adapté à une consultation par un grand nombre de personnes. De plus, l'invention permet d'obtenir une bonne lisibilité des feuilles au voisinage de la reliure, même dans le cas d'ouvrages ayant un très grand nombre de pages.So we did well in accordance with the present invention a binding system allowing to link in a simple way printed works containing, in particular, a large number of leaves. The sheets thus bound are effectively protected against soiling and other soiling, as well as against the malicious uprooting of the sheets of the book thus bound. Such work is therefore particularly well suited for consultation by a big number of people. In addition, the invention makes it possible to obtain good readability of the sheets in the vicinity of the binding, even in the case of works with a very large number of pages.

    D'autre part, on pourra prévoir que les feuilles soient solidarisées au niveau de la bande 3 de la matière d'enrobage 5 dépourvue de support d'informations par fusion de la matière d'enrobage 5 ou d'un matériau fusible rapporté, par exemple au moyen d'un laser ou d'un autre moyen équivalent.On the other hand, provision may be made for the leaves to be secured at the level of the strip 3 of the coating material 5 devoid of support of information by fusion of the coating material 5 or of a material added fuse, for example by laser or other means equivalent.

    Claims (8)

    1. System for binding printed works consisting of sheets each comprising a first portion for reading and a second portion for binding, binding being achieved by clamping all the second sheet portions between two reinforcing strips (7), characterized in that the first portion of each sheet comprises a data medium (2) covered on both its faces with a coating material (5), and in that the coating material (5) forms a strip (3), free from data medium (2), having a thickness (2E) less than that of the first sheet portion and a predetermined clamping width (D) greater than the width (d) of the reinforcing strips (7).
    2. Binding system according to Claim 1, characterized in that the reinforcing strips (7) interact with rods (6) passing through perforations which are regularly distributed along the edge of the second sheet portion.
    3. Binding system according to Claim 2, characterized in that the rods (6) consist of screw rods interacting with nuts, the screw heads and the nuts being located on either side of the reinforcing strips (7).
    4. Binding system according to Claim 3, characterized in that the two reinforcing strips (7) are formed from sections each comprising a first flange for gripping the sheets of the work and a second flange for fastening to an item of furniture.
    5. Binding system according to Claim 3, characterized in that the two reinforcing strips (7) are made in a single piece and are connected by a thinner, flexible central portion (9).
    6. Binding system according to Claim 1, in which the data medium (2) comprises a margin (D), the data medium (2') of the cover sheets being a board sheet (2'), characterized in that the predetermined width (D) of the strip of the coating material (5) is given by the formula: D ≥ K [d + π3 (NE + a) - M] in which:
      K is a constant determined by the mechanical properties of the coating material (5);
      a is a constant determined by the thickness of the cover;
      d is the width of the clamping area (1);
      M is the width of the margin of the data medium;
      N is the number of sheets forming the printed work; and
      E is the thickness of the coating material (5).
    7. Binding system according to Claim 6, characterized in that the thickness (E) of the coating material (5) is less than or equal to 75 microns and in that K is very close to 1.
    8. Binding system according to Claim 1, 6 or 7, characterized in that the sheets are secured at the strip (3) of the coating material (5), free from data medium, by melting the said coating material (5) or another added-on meltable material.
