Abstract

1. Continuous form, particularly for EDP printing apparatus, including a carrier having edge strips on both sides with transport holes which is foldable and separable at transverse perforations disposed at a predetermined spacing and a plurality of first sheets is formed by the separation, in which copy sheets are secured to each first sheet, the copy sheets being narrower than the carrier sheet and being secured to this carrier sheet by means of a transversely extending connecting strip and being separable by means of registering perforations, characterised in that the perforations (8) of each connecting strip (5) extend in registry with an additional perforation (9) in the first sheet (1) lying beneath it, that each first sheet (1) has a longitudinal perforation (2) on both sides by means of which the edge strip (3) with the transport holes (4) can be separated and the first sheet in question can be brought to a desired breadth, in particular a breadth of a DIN format, that the copy sheets (6) terminate with their connecting strip (5) in each case shortly before the transverse perforation (10) of the subsequent first sheet (1), and that each first sheet (1) is slightly longer than the copy sheets (6) lying on it and the additional perforation (9) is disposed at such a distance from its upper edge that after tearing away the desired lengths remain, and in each case a free first sheet (1') is disposed between each first sheet (1) provided with copy sheets (6), and that at least one simple data sheet, preferably a filing card (13), is separable from the free first sheet (1') by means of at least one transverse perforation (11).

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 intervals 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 spikes no longer have the thick outer edges that contain the perforations for thick sets of forms, at least do not transport correctly. Furthermore, sets with many carbon copies in this conventional continuous form set lead to jams and displacements in the narrow wraps of the small devices, which build up quickly and prevent 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 single set lying on top cannot be attached or held laterally and is therefore moved from a number of frequently used types of labeling devices 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.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile der beiden vorgenannten Formulartypen zu vermeiden.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the two aforementioned types of forms.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Durchschläge schmäler als das erste Blatt sind und mit einer querverlaufenden Trennleiste am ersten Blatt befestigt sind. Dabei können die Durchschläge an jeweils jedem aufeinanderfolgenden ersten Blatt angeordnet sein.According to the invention this is achieved in that the breakthroughs are narrower than the first sheet and are attached to the first sheet with a transverse separating strip. The carbon copies can be arranged on each successive first sheet.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die Perforation der Trennleiste mit einer Zusatzperforation des ersten Blattes deckungsgleich verlaufen. Weiterhin können die Durchschläge am unteren Ende wenig vor der Querperforation des folgenden ersten Blattes enden. Das erste Blatt hat eine das Endmaß des Formulars überschreitende Länge und die Zusatzperforation ist in solchem Abstand von seinem oberen Rand angeordnet, daß nach Abriß das gewünschte Format, insbesondere ein DIN-Format, verbleibt. Das erste Blatt kann an beiden Seiten eine Längsperforation aufweisen, durch die die Transportlochung abgetrennt und das Blatt auf DIN-Format gebracht werden kann.According to an advantageous development of the invention the perforation of the dividing strip is congruent with an additional perforation of the first sheet. Furthermore, the punctures at the lower end can end a little before the transverse perforation of the following first sheet. The first sheet has a length exceeding the final dimension of the form and the additional perforation is arranged at such a distance from its upper edge that the desired format, in particular a DIN format, remains after being torn off. The first sheet can have a longitudinal perforation on both sides, through which the transport perforation can be separated and the sheet can be brought to DIN format.

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 mitteTs des ersten Blattes des Endlosformularstransportiert 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 middle of the first sheet of the continuous form is transported. Another advantage of the continuous form designed in accordance with 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 /2"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 has to manufacture of DI N-A4 sets in portrait format, the first sheet is about 240 mm wide and each has cross perforations at a distance of about 12/2 "and the additional perforation is arranged at a distance of about 18 mm from the cross perforation. For the production of DIN A4 landscape sets, the first sheet has a width of at least about 330 mm and each has cross perforations at a distance of about 9 "and the additional perforation is arranged at a distance of about 18 mm from the cross 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 Überbrückung 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 occurs, ie 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 entails an entire sentence 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, 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.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 2 eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung.
Show it:
  • 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention;
  • Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of the invention.

In Fig. 1 besteht das erfindungsgemäße Endlosformular aus Formularsätzen I, II, III, ... 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, II, III, ... 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. 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.On the first sheet 1, 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 optionally 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 attached 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 than the copies 6 at the lower end, so that they can also be pulled out with the binding edge 5 when the copies 6 are held at the lower (left in the drawing) end. 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.

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 binding edge 5 end at their lower end a few millimeters before the transverse perforation 10 of the first sheet. Through this transverse perforation 10, the successive sets I, II, III, ... can be separated from one another. In addition, the sets are folded around this perforation and thereby stacked in a known manner in a zigzag shape so that the same pages, that is, the first pages and the last copies of successive sets, lie on top of each other.
