Abstract

Cut and read is a means whereby an envelope cutting system such as a thread (1) stuck in the inner fold of a postal envelope (6) or similar enables the envelope to be cut in an impeccable straigt line by simply pulling (2) at 90°, giving rapid access to the content in a record time without the need for accessories.

Description

COUPEZ et LISEZ CUT and READ

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

DOMAINE: Enveloppes postales ou autresFIELD: Postal or other envelopes

TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURE: Actuellement, pour ouvrir une enveloppe on se sert d'un coupe-papier, d'un crayon, de ses doigts ou de machines à couper le bord de l'enveloppe. Ces procédés rendent fastidieux le dépouillement du courrier, surtout lorsque l'on en reçoit beaucoup.PRIOR ART: Currently, to open an envelope one uses a paper cutter, a pencil, his fingers or machines to cut the edge of the envelope. These processes make it tedious to count the mail, especially when you receive a lot.

Le coupe-papier est pris et déposé à chaque opération d'ouverture de l'enveloppe. Il arrive aussi, que le coupe-papier puisse déchirer le contenu de l'enveloppe. INVENTION: L'invention consiste en un système ou procédé d'ouverture qui permet la préhension d'un fil (1) collé dans un pli interne d'une enveloppe postale (6) ou autre, et qui ne dépasse pas de chaque côté. Ce fil est solidaire à l'enveloppe. Il reste invisible lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée. Il permet, par une simple traction (2) à 90°, de couper l'enveloppe en suivant la ligne de pliure, de manière rectiligne et impeccable, et donner rapidement l'accès au contenu. On signale la présence du fil par un pointillé perforé (3), une découpe (4), un pli ou une figure quelconque. Le pointillé, la découpe ou le pli fragilise le papier de l'enveloppe et permet dès lors la découpe d'un coin (5) de l'enveloppe et par la pression des doigts, le maintien et la traction d'une des extrémités du fil (1) lorsque l'on désire ouvrir l'enveloppe. Un morceau (5) de l'enveloppe part avec le fil. (1) Cette invention permet, en un temps record, d'ouvrir une enveloppe sans accessoires particuliers et de libérer, sans aucun dommage, le contenu. Le pointillé perforé (3), la découpe (4) ou le pli peuvent être réalisés à une extrémité du fil ou aux deux à la fois.The cutter is picked up and dropped off each time the envelope is opened. It also happens that the paper cutter can tear the contents of the envelope. INVENTION: The invention consists of a system or method of opening which allows the gripping of a wire (1) glued in an internal fold of a postal envelope (6) or other, and which does not exceed on each side. This wire is integral with the envelope. It remains invisible when the envelope is closed. It allows, by a simple pull (2) at 90 °, to cut the envelope by following the fold line, in a rectilinear and impeccable manner, and quickly give access to the content. The presence of the wire is indicated by a perforated dotted line (3), a cutout (4), a fold or any figure. The dotted line, the cut or the fold weakens the paper of the envelope and therefore allows the cutting of a corner (5) of the envelope and by the pressure of the fingers, the maintenance and the traction of one of the ends of the wire (1) when you want to open the envelope. A piece (5) of the envelope leaves with the wire. (1) This invention allows, in record time, to open an envelope without special accessories and to release, without any damage, the contents. The perforated dotted line (3), the cutout (4) or the fold can be made at one end of the wire or both.

Le fil doit être choisi afin de ne pas être trop gros mais cependant il doit présenter une résistance suffisante. Les fils en nylon extradé, en coton mercerisé, coton perlé, etc., conviennent particulièrement bien. La colle qui va fixer le fil au papier peut être une colle thermique, une colle blanche ou autre qui sèche rapidement et qui maintient solidement le fil sur le papier pour éviter qu'il ne se détache aux différentes manipulations que le papier va subir en machines. Cette invention ne doit pas entraîner d'augmentation sensible du coût de l'enveloppe du fait même qu'on ne touche pas au fonctionnement des machines à réaliser l'enveloppe.L'utilisation de cette invention n'entraîne aucune perturbation ni dans le tri, ni à la distribution. Ceci résulte essentiellement du fait que l'enveloppe n'est pratiquement pas modifiée et que le fil est invisible de l'extérieur et ne peut pas entraver le fonctionnement des machines de tri postal. Cette invention entraîne des gains de temps considérables pour l'ouverture du courrier et ceci sans l'utilisation d'outils tels que coupe-papier, machines à couper l'enveloppe etc..The wire must be chosen so as not to be too large, but nevertheless it must have sufficient strength. Extruded nylon, mercerized cotton, pearl cotton, etc. threads are particularly suitable. The glue which will fix the wire to the paper can be a thermal glue, a white glue or other which dries quickly and which securely holds the wire on the paper to prevent it from coming off during the various manipulations that the paper will undergo in machines. . This invention must not lead to any appreciable increase in the cost of the envelope by the very fact that the operation of the machines for producing the envelope is not affected. The use of this invention does not cause any disturbance or in the sorting , or distribution. This is mainly due to the fact that the envelope is practically unchanged and that the wire is invisible from the outside and cannot hinder the operation of postal sorting machines. This invention results in considerable time savings for opening mail and this without the use of tools such as paper cutters, envelope cutting machines, etc.

FIGURES: La figure 1 montre une enveloppe (6) ouverte et précise l'endroit où on peut placer le fil (1) qui doit être collé au papier pour une meilleure efficacité d'ouverture. Elle montre également le pointillé perforé (3). La figure 2 montre une enveloppe (6) renfermant dans son pli le fil (1) qui ne dépasse pas de chaque côté. Elle montre également le pointillé perforé (3) , la traction (2) ainsi que le morceau (5) de papier qui se détache pour permettre au fil (1) de déchirer l'enveloppe. La figure 3 montre principalement la découpe (4) et le fil (1). La figure 4 montre la découpe (4), le morceau (5) de papier qui se détache et entraîne le fil (1), ainsi que le sens de la traction (2) exercée. REALISATION: Le fabricant d'enveloppes devra utiliser du papier (rames ou rouleaux) qui présente déjà le fil collé . L'endroit où le fil sera collé sur le papier en rames ou en rouleaux sera défini entre le fabriquant d'enveloppes et le fabriquant de papier. Ce dernier s'arrangera pour que le fil se trouve à la bonne distance pour que une fois le papier coupé et plié, le fil tombe juste sur le pli de l'enveloppe que le fabriquant d'enveloppes aura désigné. Une fois le fil collé dans le pli de l'enveloppe il pourra être utilisé avec le maximum d'efficacité. Ce pli peut être autre que celui indiqué sur la figure 1. Cette façon de coller le fil ne modifiera en rien les machines plieuses qui fabriquent l'enveloppe. Cependant le fabriquant d'enveloppe peut lui-même procéder au placement du fil sur le rouleau de papier (rames), à sa meilleure convenance, juste avant l'entrée en machine afin de régler la position du fil au format des enveloppes souhaitées. Ce même papier comportant dès lors le fil sera découpé sans aucune perte de productivité. L'entaille (4) ou les perforations (3) sera prévue à la découpe et ne demandera plus aucune autre manipulation postérieure.FIGURES: Figure 1 shows an open envelope (6) and specifies the place where one can place the wire (1) which must be glued to the paper for better opening efficiency. It also shows the perforated dotted line (3). Figure 2 shows an envelope (6) enclosing in its fold the wire (1) which does not exceed on each side. It also shows the perforated dotted line (3), the pull (2) as well as the piece (5) of paper which comes off to allow the wire (1) to tear the envelope. Figure 3 mainly shows the cutout (4) and the wire (1). Figure 4 shows the cutout (4), the piece (5) of paper that comes off and drives the wire (1), as well as the direction of the pull (2) exerted. ACHIEVEMENT: The envelope manufacturer must use paper (reams or rolls) which already has the glued wire. The location where the wire will be glued to the ream or roll paper will be defined between the envelope manufacturer and the paper manufacturer. The latter will arrange so that the wire is at the right distance so that once the paper cut and folded, the wire just falls on the fold of the envelope that the manufacturer of envelopes will have designated. Once the wire is stuck in the fold of the envelope it can be used with maximum efficiency. This fold can be other than that shown in Figure 1. This way of gluing the wire will not change the folding machines that make the envelope. However, the envelope manufacturer can himself place the wire on the paper roll (reams), at his convenience, just before entering the machine in order to adjust the position of the wire in the format of the desired envelopes. This same paper therefore comprising the wire will be cut without any loss of productivity. The notch (4) or the perforations (3) will be provided for cutting and will no longer require any other subsequent manipulation.

EXPLOITATION: Cette invention peut être très utile à tous les secteurs qui reçoivent un courrier important. La charge financière peut être minimale par rapport au gain de temps dans le dépouillement du courrier. EXPLOITATION: This invention can be very useful for all the sectors which receive an important mail. The financial burden can be minimal compared to the time saved in the processing of mail.
