Abstract

Flat-street folding, which constituted from a sheet of paper or suitable material, with fold lines to allow folding / unfolding of the sheet and therefore the plane, characterized by including longitudinal fold lines and lines transverse bend delimiting between them equal sectors that are overlapping each other in the folded position, after initial folding corresponding across all longitudinal lines and zigzag folded back through the transverse bend lines also zig zag; it is having foreseen that the ends and external sectors folded flat paths incorporate rigid protective caps, fixed by adhesive near the outer end areas of these sectors, to allow viewing of the printed data thereon.

Description

Foldable street map.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a Foldable street map, which presents a series of longitudinal and other transversal fold lines that delimit equal sectors, so that through these lines of bending a particular folding is carried out to reduce the plane to the contour of one of the sectors and the thickness of the overlap of all of them, with the special feature that the face external sectors incorporate, by fixing adhesive, a cover of a rigid nature that can be constituted in cardboard, aluminum, etc.

The object of the invention is to provide a street map that can be folded and unfolded without any complication, and in the folded position it occupies a minimum volumetry, the plane being protected in its position folded by appropriate covers.

Background of the invention

They are well known street plans that are foldable for get them to occupy a minimum volume to be able to carry them in the wallet, in a pocket, etc., but that allow its deployment to be able to consult conveniently screen printed data or drawn on the plane.

Now, in general this type of plans it suffers from two problems or inconveniences, one of them consists of that the forms of folding are complex, which in many occasions the user, especially in the first times of use, is with great difficulties to carry out the folding operation of the plane, while the other drawback is that in this type of planes is not protected externally in its position of folded, so that with use the external parts and in general the whole plane, are determined promptly and even remaining unused by breakage through the folding lines, in relatively short periods.

Description of the invention

The street map that advocates, has been designed to solve the problem previously exposed, based on a simple solution but of great efficiency, based on the plane is done through longitudinal bending lines, and subsequently of lines of cross fold, zigzag, to get that both folding and unfolding is done through those transverse and longitudinal fold lines.

The folding or unfolding will be done first through the transverse or longitudinal lines and vice versa, according to whether the folding or unfolding of the map, made with simplicity and without any type of complication.

Another novelty feature presented by the street map of the invention, is that the folding both longitudinal and transverse is done in zigzag, so that with the map folded the two extreme and external sectors are complemented by some covers rigid of suitable material, such as cardboard sufficiently rigid, aluminum, etc., which are fixed in small areas near the free edge of these extreme and external sectors, by means of adhesive, which gives the plane some covers that protect the whole of it in the folding phase, which prevent its deterioration and therefore considerably increasing the life of the plane.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the street map of the invention in position folded and where the covers are fixed on the extreme sectors of the plane, although in that drawing said covers They appear semi-open to reveal the area of adhesive fixing of such extreme sectors.

Figure 2.- Shows a side view of the street map.

Figure 3.- Shows a side view of the plane unfolding transversely, showing the lines of longitudinal folds on that side.

Figure 4.- Shows a view of the development corresponding to the street map of the invention in fully deployed situation.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the folding street-plane object of the invention is constituted by a sheet whose development is shown in figure 4, and which is referenced with the number (1), whose sheet bears the corresponding data related to a street map, without discarding its use in others Applications.

In any case, the sheet (1) constituting the plane is affected by longitudinal fold lines (2) and lines of transverse fold (3), delimiting between said lines equal sectors (4), all with the special particularity of that folding is done primarily through the lines of longitudinal fold (2), folding that is performed alternately in one way or another, or what is the same in zigzag for later and once obtained the band by superposition of the longitudinal parts, of width corresponding to the length of the sectors (4), carry out the folded through the transverse lines (3), also in zig-zag, in order to achieve an easy folding and, for Of course, an easy and convenient deployment, with no possibility of complications of any kind, since said fold lines (2) and (3) by themselves lead the user to fold referred.

The commented plan is complemented by a couple of covers (5) that are fixed to the extreme and external sectors (4 ') of the folded plane, fixing done by small areas of adhesive (6) that are located in proximity to the outer edge of such external or extreme sectors (4 ') to allow the visualization of the expected data in these extreme sectors (4').

Undoubtedly, the covers (5) will be of a rigid or semi-rigid material, such as cardboard, aluminum or similar, so that depending on the material this may or may not be waterproofed, always constituting some protective covers (5) of the plane assembly in position folded, preventing the longitudinal folds from rubbing (2)  and transversal (3), such as the extreme sectors (4 ') on those that are fixed, by means of adhesive (6), those commented covers (5).

Claims (1)

1. Foldable street map, which being constituted from a sheet of paper or suitable material, with fold lines to allow the folding / unfolding of the sheet and therefore of the plane, is characterized in that it includes longitudinal fold lines and lines of transversal folds, delimiting between them equal sectors that are superimposed on each other in folded position, after the corresponding initial folding through all the longitudinal lines in zig-zag and later folded through the cross-fold lines, also in zig- zag; having provided that the extreme and external sectors of the folded plane incorporate rigid protective covers, fixed by means of an adhesive in areas close to the external end of such sectors, to allow the visualization of the data printed therein.
