Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for folding a flat or gusseted tubular sheet of flexible material.
  • said method is used to fold tubular sheets from which protective covers employed in light or heavy construction or vehicle repair work are obtained.
  • the protective covers available on the market are generally rectangular and have two types of packing: flat or in rolls.
  • the cover is folded alternately in a direction parallel to the long sides and to the short sides of the rectangle.
  • the cover takes on a surface area of about 30 cm x 21 cm.
  • the main disadvantage of the above-mentioned folding methods lies in the difficulty a user has in opening and unfolding the cover.
  • the cover is first placed on the floor to be protected, after which the user begins to open it, rolling it out if necessary, and unfolding it following the alternating folding directions.
  • the user must therefore move around the cover repeatedly in order to unwind it and spread it out.
  • the opening operations prove to be long and inconvenient.
  • the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose a method for folding a flat or gusseted tubular sheet of flexible material which overcomes the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art.
  • the tubular sheet 1 indicates a flat or gusseted tubular sheet of flexible material.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is made of plastic material.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is made of waterproof, biodegradable plastic material.
  • the material constituting the tubular sheet 1 has natural or artificial fragrant essences added to it.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is made of material that is electrostatically charged so as to cling easily to a surface to be protected.
  • the tubular sheet 1 can be transparent or in various colours.
  • tubular sheet 1 is made of fabric or paper.
  • metal tubular sheets 1 e.g. made of aluminium.
  • the proposed method comprises a first step in which the tubular sheet 1 is cut along a substantially longitudinal, asymmetrical cutting line 2 in such a way as to define edges 3a, 3b for opening the sheet 1 itself (see figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the cut is made using a thin blade.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is flattened so that one upper rectangular layer 4 and one lower rectangular layer 5 of the sheet 1 are pressed together in order to make them adhere to each other.
  • the pressing is achieved by passing the tubular sheet 1 through a series of rollers.
  • the cutting line 2 is formed in said upper layer 4 so as to divide it into a first portion 4a and a second portion 4b having a different surface area.
  • the cutting line 2 is asymmetrical in relation to the transverse extent of the sheet 1.
  • the first portion 4a has a first opening edge 3a
  • the second portion 4b has a second opening edge 3b for the tubular sheet 1.
  • the flattened tubular sheet 1 is folded parallel to the cutting line 2 at least three consecutive times.
  • the opening edges 3a, 3b are on the outside, i.e. accessible to a user.
  • the step of folding the flattened tubular sheet 1 parallel to the cutting line 2 consists in folding the tubular sheet 1 in half three consecutive times.
  • the first operation of folding in half is illustrated in figure 3 .
  • the upper layer 4 and lower layer 5 of the tubular sheet 1 have a width of about 2 m and a length of between 2 m and 200 m.
  • the cutting line 2 is formed in such a way that the first portion 4a of the upper layer 4 has a width of about 62 cm, whereas the second portion 4b of the upper layer 4 has a width of about 138 cm.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 2 m to 1 m.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 1 m to 50 cm.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 50 cm to 25 cm.
  • the step of folding the flattened tubular sheet 1 parallel to the cutting line 2 consists in carrying out, in sequence, the following operations:
  • the two fractional parts respectively constitute one third and two thirds of the tubular sheet 1.
  • the cutting line 2 is formed in such a way that the first portion 4a of the upper layer 4 has a width of about 85 cm, whereas the second portion 4b of the upper layer 4 has a width of about 115 cm.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 2 m to 1 m.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 1 m to about 66 cm.
  • the overall width of the flattened tubular sheet 1 goes from 66 cm to 33 cm.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is rolled up transversely to the cutting line 2.
  • the tubular sheet 1 is rolled up for its entire length so as to obtain a roll 7, as shown in figure 4 .
  • the opening edges 3a, 3b and the cutting line 2 are on the inside of the roll 7, that is, not accessible to the user when the roll is wound up, but only when the roll 7 is at least partly unwound.
  • tubular sheet 1 is folded transversely to the cutting line 2.
  • the tubular sheet 1 has lines of weakening (or pre-cuts) transverse to the cutting line 2. As a result, the tubular sheet 1 is tearable along said lines of weakening so as to obtain a plurality of sheets.
  • the tubular sheet cut along the longitudinal cutting line can be rapidly opened and is easy to handle.
  • the formation of the cutting line in an asymmetrical position in the upper layer contributes to this.
  • the user places the roll on a surface to be protected (e.g. a floor) and easily rolls out the sheet for its entire length. In this way, the opening edges are made accessible to the user. Once the roll has been unwound, the user grips the opening edges and unfolds the sheet in a single movement.
  • the user places the folded tubular sheet on the floor and begins unfolding it transversely to the cutting line. At the end of said unfolding, the opening edges are made accessible to the user, who unfolds the sheet in a single movement as described above.
