Endless form

The invention relates to an endless form, in particular for EDP printing units j with a first sheet in which on both A transport perforation is attached to the edges, and that in certain A transverse perforation at intervals for splitting and separating has, and are attached to the punches.

Endless sets of forms are known which are suitable for use in description devices, in particular in those of EDP systems, suitable. These sets of forms have a transport perforation on both edges, into which the transport spikes of the labeling device can intervene. As a rule, such endless

Sets of forms 12 inches apart with a cross perforation provided, through which, after printing, a zigzag laying on top of one another and a subsequent tearing off is possible. In such form sets, the carbon copies have the same format as the first sheet and also have the same format on the left and right edge over transport perforations. Such sets of forms have the disadvantage that they do not have a DIN format and difficult to tear off and dismantle in the event of multiple copies are. Another disadvantage of this endless form occurs in designs with many carbon copies that, especially in the case of labeling devices, small EDP systems or so-called office computers whose transport spikes, with thick sets of forms, necessarily also have thick outer edges, which contain the transport perforations, no longer, or at least not transport correctly. Further lead sentences with many copies in this conventional endless form sentence in the tight wrap around the small devices cause jams and shifts that move quickly and prevent the correct operation of the device.

It is therefore already known to use so-called carrier tape sets in which individual sets, preferably in DIN format, prefabricated and glued to an underlying endless carrier tape with transport perforation. To avoid that Such carrier tape sets get stuck on their separating strip in the labeling device, it is provided that the individual sets so

to apply to a carrier tape that they overlap. This requires that the carrier tape in half its format Has transverse perforation and is bent over there. The carrier tape is not usable for the printing process and must then thrown away. Another disadvantage of the carrier tape set is that the individual set on top can not be attached or held laterally and therefore of a number of frequently used types of labeling devices is moved as soon as the lower part of the sentence needs to be labeled, so that taking advantage of the benefits of the carrier tape set is not possible in large areas.

The invention is based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages of the two aforementioned types of forms.

According to the invention this is achieved in that the punctures are narrower than the first sheet and are attached to the first sheet with a transverse separating strip, wherein the perforation of the separating strip is congruent with an additional perforation of the first sheet.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the perforations at the lower end end a little before the transverse perforation of the following first sheet. The first sheet has a length exceeding the final dimensions of the form and the additional perforation is at such a distance from its upper edge

arranged that after the demolition the desired format, in particular a DIN format remains. The first sheet can have a longitudinal perforation on both sides through which the The transport perforation is separated and the sheet is brought to DIN format can be.

The endless 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, everyone can be used for labeling devices, such as computer printers, automatic typewriters and the like., Suitable Endless paper format DIN formats are produced. No additional carrier tape is required. The sentences are easy to separate after labeling and there is no shifting of the copies or jamming in the labeling device on. The risk of material jams in sets with many copies is avoided because the copies are on At the end of the form. The transport spikes can work correctly because only by means of the first Sheet of the continuous form is transported. Another advantage of the endless form designed according to the invention is that no additional, expensive stapling techniques have to be used, as with conventional Endless set of forms unavoidable as soon as there is a need for further use of the labeled set of forms all or some of the leaves must initially remain together.

According to a Ausbildlang of the invention for the preparation of DIN-A ^ sets in the portrait orientation, the first sheet has a width of about 2 mm ¹ IO and has in each case transverse perforations at a distance

of about 122 inches and the auxiliary perforation is spaced about 18 mm from the transverse perforation. To produce DIN A ^ sets in landscape format, the first sheet is at least about 330 mm wide and has cross perforations at a distance of about 9 inches and the additional perforation is arranged at a distance of about 18 mm from the cross perforation. Correspondingly, any other formats can, in particular DIN A5 ~ vertical from 175 to 180 mm width or so-called sixth-DIN (DIN A shortened ¹ I) produced from approximately 2 ^ iO mm width.

The continuous form according to the invention is in the manner in the Labeling device inserted that the copies with the carbon papers (if available) come to lie between the first sheet and the writing surface in the labeling device. Through this the copies are pressed against the writing surface and can therefore neither jump up nor shift; This also prevents jamming in the device.

Further details and advantages of the invention can be found in the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing will.

The continuous form according to the invention consists of sets of forms I, H ₃ III, ... each with a first sheet 1, which is provided with a longitudinal perforation 2 on both sides. As a result, an edge strip 3 is formed in each case, in which the usual perforation 4 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 after printing. The perforations 2 are attached in such a way that, after the edge strips 3 have been separated, the desired dimension in this direction, for example that of a DIN format, remains.

On the first sheet 1 are a number of copies 6 and the required carbon papers by means of a binding margin 5 7 arranged. 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 margin 5, preferably to one another glued, and the binding edge 5 is in turn attached to the first sheet 1, preferably glued on at points. The binding edge 5 is delimited by a perforation 8 which goes through all the copies. The carbon papers 7 generally do not have any perforations, so that they remain on the binding edge 5 when the binding edge 5 is torn off. the Carbon papers 7 are therefore usually shorter at the lower end

than the copies 6, so that they also then with the binding margin 5 can be pulled out if the copies 6 are held at the lower (left in the drawing) end.

According to the invention, the first sheet 1 is provided with an additional perforation 9 near its upper end (on the right in the drawing) 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.

Those glued onto the first sheet 1 by means of the binding margin 5 Copies 6 end at their lower end a few millimeters before the transverse perforation 10 of the first sheet. By this transverse perforation 10, the successive sets I, II, III, ... are separable from one another. In addition, the Sentences bent around this perforation and thereby stacked in a known manner in a zigzag shape so that each is identical Pages, i.e. the first pages and the last copies of successive sentences, lie on top of one another.
