The fastening strip is foldable around the sheet stack in such a way that the fastener in the folded-round state is concealed by the fastening strip at least on one side of the sheet stack. Independent claims are included for the following: (A) a bound booklet consisting of a presentation folder; and (B) a method for the binding-in of a stack of sheets in a presentation folder.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Präsentationsmappe zur Aufnahme eines Blätterstapels, ein gebundenes Heft und ein Verfahren zum Einbinden eines Blätterstapels in eine Präsentationsmappe mit den Merkmalen der Oberbegriffe der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The invention relates to a presentation folder for receiving a stack of sheets, a bound booklet and a method for incorporating a stack of sheets in a presentation folder with the features of the preambles of the independent claims.

Zum raschen Binden von einem Blätterstapel, das heißt, einer Anzahl von Blättern zwischen 1 und bis zu etwa 100 oder mehr, die aus Papier, Pappe oder sonstigem bedruckbaren Material bestehen, mit möglichst wenig Arbeits- und apparativem Aufwand werden häufig beispielsweise Schnellhefter verwendet. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Mappe mit einer Hülle beinhaltend ein Unterteil und ein Deckteil, welche an einer ihrer Seitenkanten miteinander verbunden sind. Die Bindung von Dokumenten in einem solchen Schnellhefter erfolgt häufig mittels einer Lochung der einzubringenden Dokumente und einer der Lochung entsprechenden Aufnahmevorrichtung innerhalb des Schnellhefters. Bei der Verwendung eines solchen Schnellhefters als Präsentationsmappe wird jedoch der wertige Gesamteindruck durch die auffällige Aufnahmevorrichtung gestört. Zudem kann sich die Aufnahmevorrichtung ungewollt lockern oder öffnen, da sie bei jedem Aufklappen der Präsentationsmappe auch versehentlich leicht betätigbar ist. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung liegt in der Regel an der Innenseite des Deckteils an, was bei mehrmaligem Auf- und Zuklappen zu Abnutzungserscheinungen an dem Deckteil führen kann.For rapid binding of a stack of sheets, that is, a number of sheets between 1 and up to about 100 or more, which consist of paper, cardboard or other printable material, with as little labor and equipment cost, for example, folders are often used. This is a folder with a shell comprising a lower part and a cover part, which are connected to one another at one of their side edges. The binding of documents in such a folder is often carried out by means of a perforation of the documents to be introduced and a corresponding hole punching device within the folder. When using such a folder as a presentation folder, however, the valuable overall impression is disturbed by the conspicuous recording device. In addition, the recording device can unintentionally loosen or open, as it is also inadvertently easily operated each time you open the presentation folder. The receiving device is usually on the inside of the cover part, which can lead to signs of wear on the cover part with repeated opening and closing.

GB 2 253 374 beschreibt eine Dokumentenmappe, die einen an einem Unterteil einer Mappe angebrachten Streifen aufweist, an welchem ein Blätterstapel und ein Deckteil befestigt wird und welcher nach einer Heftung oder Klammerung über die Befestigungselemente gefaltet wird und diese verdeckt. Der Streifen befindet sich nicht an der Innenseite der Mappe, sondern ist von aussen sichtbar. Der von aussen sichtbare Streifen stört zum einen den Gesamteindruck, zum anderen besteht durch die aussen liegende Anbringung die Gefahr, dass sich der Streifen leicht löst, aus seiner gefalteten Position herausbewegt und den Blick auf die Heft- oder Klammermittel freigibt. Eine wertige Umhüllung von Dokumenten ist dann nicht gewährleistet.GB 2 253 374 describes a document comprising a strip attached to a bottom of a folder to which a stack of sheets and a cover is attached and which, after stapling or stapling, is folded over and conceals the fasteners. The strip is not on the inside of the portfolio, but is visible from the outside. The visible from the outside of the strip disturbs the overall impression, on the other hand there is the danger that the strip easily dissolves, moved out of its folded position and releases the view of the stapling or stapling means by the outside mounting. A valuable envelope of documents is then not guaranteed.

US 4,007,950 zeigt einen Heftstreifen, der zur Heftbefestigung eines Blätterstapels dient und um den gehefteten Rand des Blätterstapels gefaltet werden kann. Der Streifen weist Knickrillen auf und ein Abschnitt des Streifens ist an der Rückseite des Blätterstapels anzukleben. Eine Verbindung des Streifens mit einer Hülle ist nicht vorgesehen. Um einen Blätterstapel einzuhüllen, müssten entweder Deck- und Unterteil mit in den Heftstreifen eingelegt werden, oder mittels eines weiteren Befestigungsmittels eine Hülle an dem Streifen fixiert werden. In beiden Fällen wären die Befestigungsmittel von aussen sichtbar und stören den GesamteindruckUS 4,007,950 shows a stitching strip which serves to staple a sheet stack and can be folded around the stitched edge of the sheet stack. The strip has kinked grooves and a portion of the strip is to be adhered to the back of the sheet stack. A connection of the strip with a shell is not provided. To cover a stack of sheets, either top and bottom part would have to be inserted into the stitching strip, or by means of a further fastening means, a shell fixed to the strip. In both cases, the fasteners would be visible from the outside and disturb the overall impression

US 4,793,758 zeigt eine Hülle mit einem innen liegenden, mit der Hülle verbundenen Streifen. Dieser ist mit einem Klebstoff versehen, auf dem ein Blatt oder ein Blätterstapel haften kann. Die Klebeverbindung besteht lediglich zu einem Blatt des Blätterstapels, wodurch keine solide Verbindung zwischen Hülle und Blätterstapel herstellbar ist, welche geeignet wäre, Belastungen, zum Beispiel durch Blättern, Stand zu halten.US 4,793,758 shows a sleeve with an internal strip connected to the sleeve. This is provided with an adhesive on which a sheet or stack of sheets can adhere. The adhesive bond consists only of a sheet of the sheet stack, whereby no solid connection between the shell and stack of sheets can be produced, which would be suitable to hold loads, for example by scrolling, stand.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, die Nachteile des Bekannten zu vermeiden, insbesondere eine Präsentationsmappe, ein gebundenes Heft und ein Verfahren zum Einbinden vorzustellen, durch welche ein Stapel Blätter in eine geordnete Form mit wertigem Gesamteindruck gebracht wird und durch welche gleichzeitig eine solide Verbindung zwischen dem Blätterstapel und der Hülle und gegebenenfalls zwischen den Blättern gewährleistet wird.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the known, in particular to present a presentation folder, a bound booklet and a method for binding, by which a stack of sheets is brought into an orderly shape with valued overall impression and by which at the same time a solid connection between the stack of sheets and the shell and, if necessary, between the leaves is ensured.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Präsentationsmappe aus einer Hülle mit Deck- und Unterteil und mindestens einem innen liegend an der Hülle befestigten Heftstreifen, wobei der Heftstreifen mindestens so breit ist, dass Platz für eine Heftung, für einen Abstand von der Heftung bis zum Blattrand und die Höhe des Blätterstapels gegeben ist, und der Heftstreifen derart um den Blätterstapel faltbar ist, dass die Heftung im umfalteten Zustand zumindest auf einer Seite des Blätterstapels durch den Heftstreifen überdeckt ist.The object is achieved by a presentation folder of a cover with top and bottom part and at least one inside of the case attached to the cover strip, the binding strip is at least as wide that space for stapling, for a distance from the stapling to the edge of the sheet and the height of the stack of sheets is given, and the stitching strip is foldable about the stack of sheets that the staple is covered in the folded state at least on one side of the sheet stack by the stitching strip.

Unter einer Heftung wird das Verbinden der Blätter des Blätterstapels und des Heftstreifens mit einem oder mehreren Verbindungs- bzw. Heftmitteln, z.B. Heftklammern, Heftfaden, Metallband, Spiralband oder anderen verstanden.Under stitching, the joining of the sheets of the sheet stack and the stitching tape with one or more fasteners, e.g. Staples, stitching thread, metal band, spiral band or other understood.

Eine derartige Heftung sorgt dafür, dass die Blätter ohne grossen Aufwand fest mit der Präsentationsmappe und untereinander zu verbinden sind. Die Präsentationsmappe ist daher geeignet, eine solide und haltbare Bindung herzustellen.Such a stitching ensures that the sheets are firmly connected to the presentation folder and each other without much effort. The presentation folder is therefore suitable for making a solid and durable bond.

Die Präsentationsmappe kann einen Heftstreifen aufweisen, der bevorzugt entlang der gesamten Länge der Präsentationsmappe vorgesehen ist, oder es können entlang der Länge der Präsentationsmappe mehrere Heftstreifen vorliegen, die zusammen dafür sorgen, dass der Blätterstapel in der Hülle Halt bekommt. Ausserdem können in einer Hülle mehrere Heftstreifen zur Aufnahme mehrerer Blätterstapel vorgesehen sein.The presentation folder may include a stitching strip that is preferably provided along the entire length of the presentation folder, or there may be multiple stitching strips along the length of the presentation folder that together provide for the stack of sheets to be held in the shell. In addition, a plurality of stitching strips may be provided in an envelope for receiving a plurality of stacks of sheets.

Die Umfaltung des Heftstreifens trägt durch die Mehrlagigkeit im Faltbereich zur Stabilisierung bei. Die Verdeckung der Heftung durch den Heftstreifen verhindert, dass die Heftmittel an der Innenseite der Hülle anliegen und an dieser Abdrücke, Kratzer, Abnutzungserscheinungen oder andere Beschädigungen hervorrufen. Ist der Heftstreifen aus undurchsichtigem Material, so wird ausserdem durch die Verdeckung der Heftmittel ein wertiger optischer Eindruck begünstigt.The refolding of the stitching strip contributes to the stabilization by the multiple layers in the fold area. The occlusion of the stitch The stitching strip prevents the stitching means from contacting the inside of the cover and causing prints, scratches, signs of wear or other damage to the latter. If the stitching strip is made of opaque material, then a valuable visual impression is favored by the concealment of the stapling means.

Bevorzugt ist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen derart faltbar, dass er mindestens den Bereich des Heftstreifens, der für die Heftung vorgesehen ist, den Bereich des Blätterstapels zwischen Heftung und Blattrand und den Rand des Blätterstapels auf der Länge des Heftstreifens verdeckt. Der Rand des Blätterstapels, an dem die Heftung erfolgt, kann somit zumindest teilweise von dem Heftstreifen eingefasst werden. Es entsteht der Eindruck einer hochwertigen Bindung, wie sie ansonsten nur durch einen vergleichsweise aufwendigen Vorgang, zum Beispiel eine Buchbindung, erzielt wird, obwohl die Blätter lediglich durch einen Heftung verbunden sind.Preferably, the at least one stitching strip is foldable such that it covers at least the area of the stitching strip provided for the stitching, the area of the stack of sheets between the stitching and the sheet edge, and the edge of the stack of sheets along the length of the stitching strip. The edge of the stack of sheets on which the stapling takes place can thus be at least partially edged by the stapling strip. It creates the impression of a high-quality binding, as otherwise only by a relatively complex process, for example, a book binding, is achieved, although the sheets are connected only by a stitch.

Aufgrund der Umfaltung liegt der freie Rand des Heftstreifens und der Rand des Blätterstapels etwa aneinander an. Dadurch ergibt sich eine einfache Zugänglichkeit mit einem Werkzeug, wie zum Beispiel einem Hefter.Due to the refolding, the free edge of the stitching strip and the edge of the sheet stack approximately abut each other. This results in easy accessibility with a tool, such as a stapler.

Da die Blätter und der Heftstreifen mit Heftmitteln verbunden sind, die auch wieder entfernt werden können, liegt eine reversible, d.h. eine lösbare Bindung vor. Es können somit fehlende Seiten ergänzt oder überflüssige Blätter entfernt werden. Diese Möglichkeit besteht bei einer Klebebindung, z.B. mit Heisskleber, nicht.Since the sheets and the stitching strip are connected to stapling means which can be removed again, there is a reversible, i. a detachable bond. It can thus be supplemented missing pages or unnecessary leaves removed. This possibility exists with an adhesive bond, e.g. with hot glue, not.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Hülle aus einem ersten Material, insbesondere PP (Polypropylen), und der mindestens eine Heftstreifen aus einem zweiten Material, insbesondere PPP (Polyphenylen), das weicher und/oder biegsamer als das erste Material ist, derart, dass der Heftstreifen auf seiner Breite ohne Werkzeug mehrfach knick-, bzw. faltbar ist.In a preferred embodiment, the sheath consists of a first material, in particular PP (polypropylene), and at least a stitching strip of a second material, in particular PPP (polyphenylene), which is softer and / or more flexible than the first material, such that the stitching strip is repeatedly kinked or foldable on its width without tools.

Im Folgenden wird erläutert, was im vorliegenden Fall unter weicher, bzw. biegsamer zu verstehen ist. Während es für die Hülle vorteilhaft ist, wenn sie eine gewisse Steifigkeit besitzt, durch welche der Blätterstapel insbesondere vor Knicken geschützt wird, sollte der Heftstreifen auf sich selbst und um einen Rand des Blätterstapels faltbar sein, wozu er aus einem dafür geeignetem Material besteht. Um die Falt- bzw. Knickbarkeit des Haftstreifens zu gewährleisten, muss dieses Material ausreichend biegsam und/oder weich, also weniger hart als das der Hülle, sein.The following explains what we mean by softer or more flexible in the present case. While it is advantageous for the sheath, if it has a certain rigidity, by which the sheet stack is particularly protected against buckling, the stitching strip should be foldable on itself and around an edge of the sheet stack, for which it consists of a suitable material. In order to ensure the folding or buckling of the adhesive strip, this material must be sufficiently flexible and / or soft, that is less hard than that of the shell.

Die Flexibilität, die das Material aufzuweisen hat, bezieht sich vornehmlich auf die Faltbarkeit, die Streck- oder Stauchbarkeit des Materials ist weniger wesentlich.The flexibility exhibited by the material is primarily related to foldability, and the stretch or compressibility of the material is less significant.

Zur Heftung von wenigen oder dünnen Blättern können die Bestandteile der Präsentationsmappe zum Beispiel aus Papier unterschiedlicher Stärke, etwa die Hülle aus fester Pappe und der Heftstreifen aus Papier, gefertigt sein.For stapling a few or thin sheets, the components of the presentation folder, for example, from paper of different thickness, such as the envelope of solid cardboard and the adhesive strip of paper, be made.

Je nach gewünschter Festigkeit ist eine grosse Anzahl von Materialien verwendbar, darunter verschiedene Kunststoffe oder auch textile Materialien.Depending on the desired strength, a large number of materials can be used, including various plastics or textile materials.

Bei der Auswahl der Materialen aus den Elastomeren kann die Weichheit bzw. Biegsamkeit mit Parametern beschrieben werden, wie der Biegefestigkeit, die z.B. für PP im Bereich von 30-40 MPa liegt, dem Elastizitätsmodul, der z.B. für PP im Bereich von 1300-1600 MPa liegt, der Kerbschlagzähigkeit, für PP bei 23 C im Bereich von 4-10 kJ/m2, oder der Härte, für PP beträgt z.B. die Rockwell Härte (D785) circa 98, oder etwa Shore D70.When selecting the materials from the elastomers, the softness or flexibility can be described with parameters such as the flexural strength, which is for example in the range of 30-40 MPa for PP, the modulus of elasticity, for example for PP in the range of 1300-1600 MPa, the notched impact strength, for PP at 23 C in the range of 4-10 kJ / m2, or the hardness, for PP, for example, the Rockwell hardness (D785) is about 98, or about Shore D70.

Für den Heftstreifen ist es wichtig, dass er einerseits eine ausreichende Festigkeit zur Aufnahme der Heftung und zum Tragen des Blätterstapels aufweist. Andererseits muss er flexibel genug sein, um über seine gesamte Länge längs des Blätterstapels auf sich selbst zurückklappbar und um den Rand des Stapels herum führbar zu sein. Dafür sollte das Material eine gewisse Zähigkeit aufweisen und darf nicht so spröde sein, dass es bei starker Biegebeanspruchung reisst oder bricht.For the stitching strip, it is important that on the one hand it has sufficient strength to accommodate the stitching and to support the stack of sheets. On the other hand, it must be flexible enough to fold back over itself along its entire length along the stack of sheets and be able to be guided around the edge of the stack. For this, the material should have a certain toughness and must not be so brittle that it breaks or breaks under heavy bending stress.

Die Hülle kann zwar im Bereich des Hüllenrückens geknickt sein, wenn sie beispielsweise einstückig gefertigt ist, sie wird jedoch in der Regel nicht in geringen Abständen mehrfach stark gefaltet, wie es bei dem Heftstreifen der Fall ist und kann daher härter und/oder weniger biegsam als dieser sein.Although the sheath may be kinked in the region of the hull back, when it is made in one piece, for example, it is not folded several times at frequent intervals, as is the case with the stitching strip and can therefore be harder and / or less flexible than this be.

PPP (Polyphenylen) ist ein Beispiel für ein Material, das Festigkeit und Flesibilität besonders gut miteinander vereinigt.PPP (Polyphenylene) is an example of a material that combines strength and flexibility particularly well together.

Sowohl PP als auch PPP können in einer beliebigen Farbauswahl zur Verfügung gestellt werden, so dass eine grosse Gestaltungsvielfalt gegeben ist.Both PP and PPP can be made available in any color selection, so that a great variety of design is given.

In einer erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform weist der Heftstreifen Löcher zur Aufnahme von Heftmitteln auf. Diese können mit entsprechend in dem Blätterstapel vorhandenen Löchern in Deckung gebracht werden und Heftmittel aufnehmen, die einer lösbaren Bindung dienen.In an embodiment according to the invention, the stitching strip has holes for receiving stapling means. These can be brought into coincidence with holes correspondingly present in the stack of sheets and take up stapling means which serve a releasable bond.

Bevorzugt werden als Heftmittel Heftklammern verwendet. In diesem Fall ist keine Vorbereitung des Heftstreifens erforderlich.Staples are preferably used as the stapling agent. In this case, no preparation of the tacking tape is required.

Nach einer Umfaltung des Heftstreifens werden die Heftmittel durch diesen verdeckt und sind nicht sichtbar.After a refolding of the tape, the staple means are covered by this and are not visible.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung weist die Hülle mindestens zwei vordefinierte Falzlinien auf, die einen Hüllenrücken definieren.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the envelope has at least two predefined fold lines which define a back of the envelope.

An einer Falzlinie lässt sich die Hülle leicht in eine bestimmte Richtung falten. Die Hülle erhält dadurch eine bestimmte Form, in der durch den Abstand der Falzlinien eine Breite des Hüllenrückens vorgegeben ist. Ein Rücken bestimmter Breite ist dann vorteilhaft, wenn die Präsentationsmappe zur Aufnahme eines Blätterstapels mit einer Stapelhöhe, welche die Hüllenbreite nicht überschreitet, vorgesehen ist.At a fold line, the envelope can be easily folded in a certain direction. The shell is replaced by a certain shape in which a width of the hull back is given by the distance of the fold lines. A back of certain width is advantageous if the presentation folder for receiving a stack of sheets with a stack height, which does not exceed the envelope width, is provided.

Präsentationsmappen mit Rücken lassen sich auch mit eingebundenem Inhalt gut stapeln. Der Rücken kann bedruckt werden oder mit einem Aufkleber versehen werden, sodass eine Kennzeichnung der Präsentationsmappe auch lesbar ist, wenn die Präsentationsmappe auf einer ihrer Kanten steht.Presentation folders with backs can also be stacked well with integrated contents. The back can be printed or provided with a sticker, so that a marking of the presentation folder is also legible when the presentation folder is on one of its edges.

Vorteilhafterweise ist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen in einer Falzlinie befestigt. Verläuft die Fixierung des Heftstreifens, insbesondere durch eine Vernähung oder Verschweissung, entlang einer Linie, die mit der Falzlinie zusammenfällt, so erfolgt die Befestigung des Heftstreifens in einer bevorzugten Klapplinie der Hülle, was sowohl das Einbinden des Blätterstapels als auch das Umblättern erleichtert.Advantageously, the at least one stitching strip is fastened in a folding line. If the fixing of the fastening strip, in particular by stitching or welding, runs along a line which coincides with the folding line, the fastening of the fastening strip takes place in a preferred folding line of the envelope, which facilitates both the binding of the stack of sheets and the turning over.

Alternativ kann der mindestens eine Heftstreifen in einem Abstand von einer Falzlinie, ausserhalb eines Abschnitts zwischen dieser und einer weiteren Falzlinie, der einen Hüllenrücken definiert, fixiert sein.Alternatively, the at least one stitching strip may be fixed at a distance from a fold line, outside a section between it and another fold line defining a back of the cover.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen einen Bereich auf, mit dem er an der Innenseite des Unterteils der Hülle anliegt. Der Heftstreifen kann dann zusätzlich einen Bereich auf der Rückseite des Blätterstapels abdecken.In a preferred embodiment, the at least one stitching strip has an area with which it bears against the inside of the lower part of the shell. The stitching strip can then additionally cover an area on the back of the sheet stack.

In diesem Fall kann die Heftung auf beiden Seiten des Blätterstapels durch den Heftstreifen verdeckt werden. Der Rand des Blätterstapels wird von dem mindestens einen Heftstreifen zumindest auf dessen Länge eingefasst.In this case, the staple on both sides of the sheet stack may be obscured by the staple strip. The edge of the stack of sheets is bordered by the at least one stitching strip at least along its length.

Der mindestens einen Heftstreifen kann entlang einer Linie parallel zu den Falzlinien an der Hülle befestigt sein, bevorzugt besteht jedoch eine flächige Verbindung, indem zum Beispiel der Bereich des mindestens einen Heftstreifens, der einen Bereich an der Rückseite des Blätterstapels abdeckt, an der Hülle fixiert ist.The at least one stitching strip may be attached to the cover along a line parallel to the fold lines, but preferably there is a flat connection, for example by fixing the region of the at least one stitching strip which covers a region on the back side of the stack of sheets to the cover ,

Vorzugsweise besitzt der mindestens eine Heftstreifen einen Bereich, der auf der Rückseite des Blätterstapels anklebbar ist. Während die Heftung bereits dafür sorgt, dass der Heftstreifen und der Blätterstapel im Bereich der Heftung nicht gegeneinander bewegbar sind, sorgt die Klebung dafür, dass die Faltung des Heftstreifens nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden kann und damit die Einfassung des Blätterstapels fixiert ist.Preferably, the at least one stitching strip has an area which can be adhered to the back of the stack of sheets. While the stitching already ensures that the stitching strip and the stack of sheets are not mutually movable in the area of the stitching, the gluing ensures that the fold of the stitching strip can no longer be reversed and thus the border of the stack of sheets is fixed.

Die Möglichkeit zur Verklebung ist bevorzugt durch bereits an dem Heftstreifen angebrachte Klebemittel vorgesehen, z.B. durch einen Selbstklebestreifen, der vor der Verklebung durch eine Schutzfolie bedeckt ist oder der durch Anfeuchtung klebend wird.The possibility for bonding is preferably provided by already attached to the adhesive strip adhesive, for example by a self-adhesive strip, which is covered by a protective film before bonding or which is adhesive by moistening.

Bevorzugt weist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen mindestens eine vordefinierte Falzlinie auf, welche die Bereiche für die Heftung und den Abstand zum Rand des Blätterstapels voneinander trennt. Beim Einbinden ist dadurch die Knicklinie des Heftstreifens vorgegeben, an welcher der Heftstreifen auf sich selbst zurückgefaltet wird, um die Heftung zu verdecken. Die vorgegebene Falzlinie erleichtert die Positionierung und das Einbinden des Blätterstapels.Preferably, the at least one stitching strip has at least one predefined fold line which separates the areas for the stitching and the distance from the edge of the stack of sheets. When binding thereby the bending line of the fastening strip is predetermined, at which the stitching strip is folded back on itself to cover the stitching. The predetermined fold line facilitates the positioning and binding of the sheet stack.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen mindestens eine Falzlinie auf, welche die Bereiche für den Abstand zum Rand des Blätterstapels und den Bereich zum Bedecken der Höhe des Blätterstapels voneinander trennt. Die Falzlinie ist dort vorgesehen, wo der Heftstreifen an dem Rand des Blätterstapels anliegt und sorgt dafür, dass Heftstreifen und Blätterstapel aneinander anliegen und sich kein Knickwulst bildet. Die vorgegebene Falzlinie erleichtert ausserdem das Einbinden.In an advantageous embodiment, the at least one stitching strip has at least one fold line, which separates the areas for the distance to the edge of the sheet stack and the area for covering the height of the sheet stack from each other. The fold line is provided where the stitching strip bears against the edge of the stack of sheets and ensures that the stitching strips and the stack of sheets abut one another and that no creases are formed. The predetermined fold line also facilitates binding.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der mindestens eine Heftstreifen an der Hülle festgenäht, mit der Hülle verschweisst, an der Hülle angeklebt und/oder an der Hülle fest geheftet.In a preferred embodiment, the at least one stitching strip is sewn to the cover, welded to the cover, adhered to the cover and / or stapled to the cover.

Die Aufgabe wird weiterhin durch ein gebundenes Heft gelöst, das aus einer Präsentationsmappe mit einer Hülle, mindestens einem innen liegend an der Hülle befestigten Heftstreifen, insbesondere aus einer wie oben beschriebenen Präsentationshülle, und einem Blätterstapel, der an dem mindestens einen Heftstreifen angeheftet ist, besteht, wobei der Heftstreifen so gefaltet ist, dass er den Bereich der Heftung und den Rand des Blätterstapels bedeckt.The object is further achieved by a bound booklet consisting of a presentation folder with a cover, at least one inside of the sleeve attached to the cover strip, in particular from a presentation cover as described above, and a stack of sheets that is attached to the at least one stitching strip consists with the stitching strip folded so that it covers the area of the stitching and the edge of the sheet pile.

Erfindungsgemässe gebundene Hefte können sehr einfach hergestellt werden und bieten eine haltbare und optisch anspruchsvolle Bindung.Bound booklets according to the invention can be produced very simply and offer a durable and visually demanding bond.

Vorteilhafterweise sind als Mittel für die Heftung Heftklammern vorgesehen. Diese sind in der Regel sehr schmal, und benötigen in Richtung senkrecht zur Heftungskante nur minimalen Platz. Die Heftung erfolgt somit praktisch entlang einer Linie, was Platz spart und das Blättern erleichtert.Advantageously, staples are provided as means for the stapling. These are usually very narrow, and require only minimal space in the direction perpendicular to the stitching edge. The stapling is thus practically along a line, which saves space and makes it easier to leaf.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist als Mittel für die Heftung mindestens ein Metallband vorgesehen, das durch eine Lochung in dem mindestens einen Heftstreifen und dem Blätterstapel geführt wird. Derart kann auf einfache Weise eine lösbare Befestigung erreicht werden.In an alternative embodiment, at least one metal strip, which is guided through a perforation in the at least one stitching strip and the stack of sheets, is provided as the means for the stitching. Such a releasable attachment can be achieved in a simple manner.

Die Aufgabe wird ausserdem durch ein Verfahren zum Einbinden eines Blätterstapels in eine Präsentationsmappe mit einer Hülle und mindestens einem innen liegend befestigten Heftstreifen gelöst, insbesondere in einer wie oben beschriebene Präsentationsmappe, welches die folgenden Verfahrensschritte aufweist:

  • Auflegen des Blätterstapels auf eine Hülleninnenseite, bündig zum Heftstreifen,
  • Heften des Blätterstapels an den mindestens einen Heftstreifen,
  • Umklappen des Blätterstapels auf die andere Hülleninnenseite.
The object is also achieved by a method for incorporating a sheet stack into a presentation folder with a cover and at least one fastener strip fastened inside, in particular in a presentation folder as described above, which has the following method steps:
  • Placing the stack of sheets on a sleeve inside, flush with the stitching strip,
  • Stapling the stack of sheets to the at least one binding strip,
  • Folding the stack of sheets on the other shell inside.

Bevorzugt wird die Hülle vor dem Auflegen des Blätterstapel soweit aufgeklappt, dass die Aussenseiten der Hülle aufeinander liegen. Der Heftstreifen weist dann von der Hülle weg und kann gut von einem Hefter erreicht werden.Preferably, the shell is unfolded so far before placing the stack of sheets that the outer sides of the shell to each other lie. The stitching strip then points away from the sleeve and can be easily accessed by a stapler.

Beim Umklappen des Blätterstapels wird der Heftstreifen zum einen auf sich selbst zurückgefaltet, zum anderen legt er sich um de Rand des Blätterstapels. Dabei verdeckt er die Heftung.When folding the stack of sheets of the staple strip is folded back on itself on the one hand, on the other he lies down to the edge of the sheet stack. He conceals the stitching.

Bevorzugt erfolgt das Einlegen des Blätterstapels so, dass dieser zunächst mit der Vorderseite auf dem Heftstreifen liegt, die Heftklammen durch den Heftstreifen und den Blätterstapel gestossen werden und die Heftklammern auf der Rückseite des Blätterstapels umgebogen werden. Der Blätterstapel wird dann auf die Rückseite umgeklappt, wobei der Heftstreifen die Heftung auf der Vorderseite verdeckt.The loading of the stack of sheets preferably takes place in such a way that it first lies with the front side on the stitching strip, the staples are pushed through the stitching strip and the stack of sheets and the staples are bent over on the back side of the stack of sheets. The stack of sheets is then folded over to the back, with the stitching strip obscuring the stitching on the front.

Wenn der Heftstreifen lang genug ist, kann er auch noch auf die Rückseite des Blätterstapels weitergeführt werden und die dort sichtbare Heftung verdecken.If the stitching strip is long enough, it can still be continued on the back of the stack of sheets and hide the visible there stapling.

The sheath 2 has two fold lines 4, 4 ', the stitching strip 3 being fastened in one of the fold lines 4'.

Die Falzlinien 4, 4' definieren einen Hüllenrücken 5.The fold lines 4, 4 'define a hull back 5.

Figur 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Beispiels für ein erfindungsgemässes gebundenes Heft 10, wobei ein Blätterstapel 16 von einer Hülle 12 umgeben ist. An der Hülle 12 ist ein Heftstreifen 13 befestigt, beispielsweise angeschweisst, der mit dem Blätterstapel 16 über Heftmittel 17 verbunden ist. Die Hülle 12 weist zwei Falzlinien 14, 14', die einen Rücken 15 definieren.Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of an example of an inventive bound booklet 10, wherein a stack of sheets 16 is surrounded by a shell 12. On the cover 12, a stitching strip 13 is attached, for example, welded, which is connected to the stack of sheets 16 via stapling means 17. The sheath 12 has two fold lines 14, 14 'which define a spine 15.

Der Heftstreifen 13 ist breit genug, um Platz für einen Bereich 18 der Heftung, für einen Abstand 19 bis zu dem Rand 20 des Blätterstapels 16 und für die Höhe 21 des Blätterstapels 16 zu bieten. Er kann also nach dem Heftvorgang auf sich selbst zurückgeklappt werden, bevorzugt in einer dafür vorgesehenen Falzlinie 25, und die Heftmittel 17 und den Rand 20 des Blätterstapels 16 abdecken.The stitching strip 13 is wide enough to accommodate a portion 18 of the staple, a distance 19 to the edge 20 of the sheet stack 16, and the height 21 of the sheet stack 16. It can thus be folded back on itself after the stapling operation, preferably in a fold line 25 provided for this, and cover the stapling means 17 and the edge 20 of the sheet stack 16.

Bei den Heftmitteln 17 kann es sich um in der Figur nicht näher dargestellte Heftklammern handeln, die bevorzugt zunächst durch den Heftstreifen 13, dann durch den Blätterstapel 16 geführt werden und unterhalb dessen umgebogen werden.The stapling means 17 may be staples not shown in detail in the figure, which are preferably guided first through the stapling strip 13, then through the stack of sheets 16 and are bent over underneath.

Figur 3 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines weiteren Beispiels für ein erfindungsgemässes gebundenes Heft 30. Ein Blätterstapel 36 ist von einer Hülle 32 umgeben, an der ein Heftstreifen 33 befestigt ist, an dem der Blätterstapel 36 mit einem Heftmittel 37 verbunden ist.FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of another example of a bound booklet 30 according to the invention. A stack of sheets 36 is surrounded by a sleeve 32 to which a stitching strip 33 is fastened, to which the stack of sheets 36 is connected with a stapling means 37.

Der Heftstreifen 33 ist derart umfaltet, dass er die Heftung 38 und den Rand 40 des Blätterstapels 36 verdeckt. Ausserdem ist er breit genug, auch noch einen Bereich 42 auf der Rückseite 43 des Blätterstapels 36 und somit die Heftmittel 44 auf der Rückseite 43 abzudecken. In dem genannten Bereich 42 ist der Heftstreifen bevorzugt flächig an der Innenseite der Hülle 32 befestigt.The stitching strip 33 is folded over so as to conceal the stitching 38 and the edge 40 of the sheet stack 36. In addition, it is wide enough to cover even a region 42 on the back 43 of the sheet stack 36 and thus the stapling means 44 on the back 43. In the area mentioned, the stitching strip is preferably fastened flat on the inside of the shell 32.

Der Heftstreifen 33 weist eine Falzlinie 45 auf, die den Bereich der Heftung 38 von dem Abstand 39 bis zum Rand 40 trennt und die Faltung des Heftstreifens 33 auf sich selbst erleichtert.The stitching strip 33 has a fold line 45 which separates the area of the stitching 38 from the spacing 39 to the edge 40 and facilitates the folding of the stitching strip 33 onto itself.
