Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Heftmappe, bestehend aus einem Rücken und einem Deckel, die miteinander durch einen gefalzten Rückenstreifen verbunden sind, wobei der Rücken vorzugsweise aus einer steiferen Kunststoffolie besteht als der Vorderteil, und wobei der den Deckel mit dem Rükken verbindende Streifen aus flexiblem Werkstoff, z.B. einer Folie aus flexiblem Kunststoff, besteht.The invention relates to a folder, consisting of a back and a cover, which are connected to one another by a folded back strip, the back preferably consisting of a stiffer plastic film than the front part, and the strip connecting the cover to the back made of flexible material, e.g. a film made of flexible plastic.

Derartige Heftmappen sind aus der AT-B 280 944 und der EP-AΩ 142 489 bekannt.Such folders are known from AT-B 280 944 and EP-AΩ 142 489.

Bei den bekannten Heftmappen besteht die Heftmechanik aus einer Schnellhefterzunge in Form eines Metallstreifens, der mit dem Rücken der Heftmappe dadurch verbunden ist, daß die Schnellhefterzunge durch Löcher im Rücken der Heftmappe gesteckt wird. Weiters ist bei den bekannten Schnellheftvorrichtungen eine Abdeckleiste vorgesehen, die zwei Löcher aufweist, durch welche die hochgebogenen Enden der Schnellhefterzunge gesteckt werden, bevor sie umgebogen werden, um Schriftgut od.dgl. zu befestigen.In the known folders, the folder mechanism consists of a folder in the form of a metal strip which is connected to the back of the folder by inserting the folder through holes in the back of the folder. Furthermore, a cover strip is provided in the known quick-stitching devices, which has two holes through which the bent ends of the quick-stitching tongue are inserted before they are bent over or the like. to fix.

Die bekannten Heftmappen bestehen somit aus mehreren Bestandteilen, so daß die Herstellung aufwendig ist. Überdies besteht die Gefahr, daß die Abdeckleiste verlorengeht und dann Schriftgut in der Heftmappe nur schlecht abgeheftet werden kann.The known folders therefore consist of several components, so that the production is expensive. In addition, there is a risk that the cover strip is lost and documents in the folder can then only be poorly filed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Heftmappe der eingangs genannten Gattung anzugeben, welche die geschilderten Nachteile nicht aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a folder of the type mentioned, which does not have the disadvantages described.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß zwischen dem Rücken und dem Deckel im Bereich des Falzes eine sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Höhe der Heftmappe erstrekkende Lasche vorgesehen ist, daß aus dem Rücken im Bereich des Falzes angestanzte oder freigestanzte Zungen vorgesehen sind, daß in der Lasche im Bereich jeder Zunge, in dem diese mit dem Rücken der Heftmappe oder dem Streifen verbunden ist, ein Loch vorgesehen ist, und daß im Abstand von diesem Loch in der Lasche ein weiteres Loch vorgesehen ist.According to the invention this is achieved in that between the back and the lid in the region of the fold there is a flap which preferably extends over the entire height of the folder, that punched or punched-out tongues are provided from the back in the region of the fold that the flap is provided a hole is provided in the area of each tongue, in which it is connected to the back of the folder or the strip, and that a hole is provided in the flap at a distance from this hole.

Dadurch, daß die als Schnellhefterzungen dienenden Zungen aus dem Rücken der Heftmappe herausgestanzt sind bzw. durch Anstanzungen zum Heraustrennen vorbereitet sind, erübrigt sich die bei den bekannten Heftmappen notwendige Befestigung der Zunge an der Heftmappe. Da erfindungsgemäß weiters als Abdeckleiste eine mit der Heftmappe verbundene Lasche vorgesehen ist, ist diese stets gegenüber den Zungen richtig ausgerichtet und kann nicht verloren gehen. Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene, als Abdeckleiste dienende Lasche hat weiters den Vorteil, daß sie das in der Heftmappe abgeheftete Schriftgut im Bereich des Heftrandes über dessen gesamte Länge abdeckt, so daß sich die Ecken des Schriftgutes insbesondere beim Schließen der Heftmappe nicht unter Bildung von sogenannten "Eselsohren" umbiegen können.Characterized in that the tongues serving as quick-release tongues are punched out of the back of the folder or are prepared for punching out by punching, the fastening of the tongue to the folder that is necessary in the known folder is unnecessary. Since, according to the invention, a tab connected to the folder is also provided as a cover strip, it is always correctly aligned with the tongues and cannot be lost. The tab provided according to the invention, serving as a cover strip, has the further advantage that it covers the documents filed in the folder in the area of the binding margin over its entire length, so that the corners of the document, especially when closing the folder, do not form so-called "donkey ears" "can bend.

Durch die in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung seitlich offenen Löcher können die Zungen in diese Löcher leichter als bei geschlossenen Löchern eingefädelt werden.Due to the laterally open holes in one embodiment of the invention, the tongues can be threaded into these holes more easily than with closed holes.

Zum Abheften von mit zwei Löchern versehenem Schriftgut od. dgl. kann im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, daß zwei Zungen und in der Lasche zwei Lochpaare vorgesehen sind.For filing documents or the like provided with two holes, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that two tongues and two pairs of holes are provided in the flap.

Wenn Schriftgut mit drei Lochungen (amerikanische Lochung) abzuheften ist, bewährt es sich im Rahmen der Erfindung, wenn drei Zungen und in der Lasche drei Lochpaare vorgesehen sind.If documents with three perforations (American perforation) are to be filed, it has proven itself within the scope of the invention if three tongues and three pairs of holes are provided in the flap.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, mit welcher Schriftgut mit zwei oder vier Lochungen abgeheftet werden kann, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß vier Zungen und in der Lasche vier Lochpaare vorgesehen sind.An embodiment of the invention, with which documents with two or four perforations can be filed, is characterized in that four tongues and four pairs of holes are provided in the tab.

Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Heftmappe gestaltet sich dann besonders einfach, wenn die Lasche mit dem Rükken der Heftmappe einstückig ausgebildet ist, da bei dieser Ausführungsform die Lasche nicht extra im Bereich des Rückenstreifens mit der Heftmappe verbunden werden muß.The production of the folder according to the invention is particularly simple if the flap is formed in one piece with the back of the folder, since in this embodiment the flap does not have to be connected to the folder in the area of the back strip.

Mit Vorteil ist im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß die Zungen in dem Bereich des Rückens vorgesehen sind, der vom den Rücken mit dem Deckel verbindenden Rückenstreifen überdeckt ist. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß die Schnellhefterzungen und die nach dem Hochbiegen der Schnellhefterzungen gebildeten Öffnungen im Rücken der Heftmappe von außen nicht sichtbar sind.It is advantageously provided in the context of the invention that the tongues are provided in the area of the back which is covered by the back strip connecting the back to the lid. This embodiment has the advantage that the saddle stitches and the openings formed after the saddle stitches are bent up are not visible from the outside.

Der Halt der Schnellhefterzungen, die durch das eine Loch des ihnen zugeordneten Lochpaares nach oben und durch das benachbarte Loch des Lochpaares wieder nach unten durch die Lasche gefädelt werden, wird verbessert, wenn die den Bereichen, in dem die Zungen mit dem Rücken der Heftmappe verbunden sind, gegenüberliegenden Löcher in der Lasche als Rundlöcher und die diesen benachbarten Löcher als Schlitze ausgebildet sind, die sich quer zum Falz der Heftmappe erstrecken.The hold of the quick-release tongues, which are threaded up through the one hole of the pair of holes assigned to them and down again through the flap through the adjacent hole of the pair of holes, is improved if the areas in which the tongues are connected to the back of the folder are opposite holes in the flap as round holes and the holes adjacent to these are designed as slots which extend transversely to the fold of the folder.

Da der Rücken von Heftmappen in der Regel aus steiferer Kunststoffolie besteht, empfiehlt es sich im Rahmen der Erfindung vorzusehen, daß im Übergangsbereich zwischen Rücken und Lasche ein z.B. durch Rillungen flexibler Bereich vorgesehen ist. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß das beim Abheften von Schriftgut od. dgl. in der erfindungsgemäßen Heftmappe notwendige Hochbiegen der Lasche ohne Schwierigkeiten möglich ist und diese in ihrem Biegebereich auch bei längerem Gebrauch nicht bricht.Since the back of folders usually consists of stiffer plastic film, it is recommended to provide in the context of the invention that in the transition area between the back and the tab a e.g. flexible area is provided by creasing. This embodiment has the advantage that the upward bending of the flap required when filing documents or the like in the folder according to the invention is possible without difficulty and does not break in its bending area even after prolonged use.

Damit die Zungen entsprechend lang ausgerichtet sind, wo durch sich nicht nur ein größerer Stapel von Schriftgut od. dgl. abheften läßt, sondern auch das Durchstecken der Zungen durch die Lochpaare vereinfacht wird, kann im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, daß die Zungen einander bereichsweise seitlich überlappend angeordnet sind. Dadurch können die Zungen auch bei kleineren Formaten der Heftmappe mit der jeweils gewünschten Länge ausgestattet werden.So that the tongues are aligned accordingly long, where not only a large stack of documents or the like can be filed through, but also the insertion of the tongues through the pairs of holes is simplified, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the tongues mutually regionally are arranged laterally overlapping. As a result, the tongues can also be provided with the desired length in the case of smaller formats of the folder.

Erfindungsgemäß ist bevorzugt, daß die Verbindungen der Löcher, die den Bereichen der Zungen, in denen diese mit dem Rücken der Heftmappe oder dem Streifen verbunden sind, gegenüberliegen, mit dem freien Längsrand der Lasche in Längsrichtung der Lasche gemessen schmäler sind als die Löcher selbst.According to the invention, it is preferred that the connections of the holes, the areas of the tongues, in which these are connected to the back of the folder or the strip, are opposite, with the free longitudinal edge of the tab measured in the longitudinal direction of the tab are narrower than the holes themselves.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung der in den Zeichnungen schematisch wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispiele von Heftmappen. Es zeigt: Fig. 1 teilweise eine Heftmappe mit zwei Zungen in Schrägansicht, Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie 11-11 in Fig. 1, Fig., 3 eine Einzelheit der Heftmappe aus Fig. 1 mit in Gebrauchslage befindlicher Schnellhefterzunge, Fig. 4 teilweise eine Ausführungsform einer Heftmappe mit drei Zungen, Fig. 5 teilweise eine Ausführungsform einer Heftmappe mit vier Zungen, Fig. 6 teilweise eine als Kontoauszugmappe ausgebildete Heftmappe und Fig. 7 im Schnitt die Mappe aus Fig. 6 in zugeklapptem Zustand, Fig. 8 in Teilansicht eine andere Ausführungsform, Fig. 9 im Schnitt eine weitere Ausführungsform, und Fig. 10 eine andere Ausführungsform in Schrägansicht (teilweise).Further details and features emerge from the following description of the exemplary embodiments of folder folders shown schematically in the drawings. 1 shows partially a folder with two tongues in an oblique view, FIG. 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a detail of the folder from FIG. 1 with the folder in the use position, FIG 4 partly an embodiment of a folder with three tongues, FIG. 5 partly an embodiment of a folder with four tongues, FIG. 6 partly a folder designed as an account statement folder and FIG. 7 in section the folder from FIG. 6 in the closed state, 8 shows another embodiment in partial view, FIG. 9 shows another embodiment in section, and FIG. 10 shows another embodiment in oblique view (partially).

Eine in Fig. 1 gezeigte Heftmappe 1 besteht aus einem Rücken 2 und einem Deckel 3 sowie einem den Rücken mit dem Deckel 3 verbindenden Rückenstreifen 4.A folder 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a back 2 and a cover 3 and a back strip 4 connecting the back to the cover 3.

Der Rücken 2 und der Deckel 3 bestehen aus Kunststoffolie, wobei die Kunststoffolie des Rückens 2 für gewöhnlich steifer als die des Deckels 3 ausgebildet ist.The back 2 and the cover 3 are made of plastic film, the plastic film of the back 2 usually being stiffer than that of the cover 3.

Der Rückenstreifen 4 besteht aus einer weichen Kunststoffolie und kann im Bereich des Rückenfalzes 5 mit Rillungen 6 versehen sein, die das Biegen des Rückenstreifens 4 beim Öffnen und Schließen der Heftmappe 1 erleichtern.The back strip 4 consists of a soft plastic film and can be provided in the area of the back fold 5 with grooves 6 which facilitate the bending of the back strip 4 when the folder 1 is opened and closed.

Wenn wie im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Rücken 2, der Deckel 3 und der Rückenstreifen 4 aus Kunststoffolie bestehen, dann können die Teile der Heftmappe 1 mit Hilfe von schweißungen, die in Fig. 1 durch strichlierte Linien 7, 8 und 9 symbolisiert sind, miteinander verbunden sein.If, as in the exemplary embodiment shown, the back 2, the lid 3 and the back strip 4 consist of plastic film, then the parts of the folder 1 can be connected to one another with the aid of welds, which are symbolized in FIG. 1 by dashed lines 7, 8 and 9 be.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist im Bereich des Falzes 5 eine über die gesamte Höhe der Heftmappe 1 durchgehende Lasche 10 vorgesehen, die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Rücken 2 einstückig ausgebildet ist und in ihrem Biegebereich 11 durch mehrere Rillen 12 flexibel ausgebildet ist.As can be seen from FIG. 1, a flap 10 is provided in the area of the fold 5 and extends over the entire height of the folder 1, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is formed in one piece with the back 2 and is flexible in its bending area 11 by means of several grooves 12.

Aus dem Rücken 2 der Heftmappe 1 sind im in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Schnellhefterzungen 13 und 14 dreiseitig ausgestanzt, so daß sie aus der Ebene des Rückens 2 hochgebogen werden können.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, two saddle stitches 13 and 14 are punched out on three sides from the back 2 of the folder 1, so that they can be bent up from the plane of the back 2.

Zur Festlegung von Schriftgut 15 od. dgl. wird die Lasche 10 hochgeklappt und das Schriftgut 15 mit in ihm vorgesehenen Heftlöchern über die ebenfalls hochgebogenen Zungen 13 und 14 gesteckt. Hierauf werden die Zungen 13 nach oben durch die Löcher 16 in der Lasche 10 geführt und dann durch die den Löchern 16 benachbarten, vorzugsweise schlitzförmigen Löcher 17 wieder nach unten gesteckt, so daß sich ihre freien Enden zwischen dem Schriftgut 15 und der Lasche 10 befinden, wie dies in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist.In order to fix documents 15 or the like, the flap 10 is folded up and the documents 15 are inserted with the stitching holes provided in them over the tongues 13 and 14, which are also bent up. Thereupon, the tongues 13 are guided upwards through the holes 16 in the tab 10 and then put down again through the preferably slot-shaped holes 17 adjacent to the holes 16, so that their free ends are located between the documents 15 and the tab 10, as shown in FIG. 3.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Heftmappe 1 gezeigt, bei der aus dem Rücken 2 insgesamt drei Schnellhefterzungen 20 herausgestanzt sind. Dementsprechend sind in der Lasche 10 drei Lochpaare, bestehend aus Rundlöchern 16 und schlitzförmigen Löchern 17 vorgesehen.4 shows an embodiment of a folder 1 according to the invention, in which a total of three quick-release tongues 20 are punched out of the back 2. Accordingly, three pairs of holes, consisting of round holes 16 and slot-shaped holes 17, are provided in the tab 10.

Bei der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Heftmappe 1 sind aus dem Rücken 2 der Heftmappe 1 insgesamt vier Zungen 21 herausgestanzt und dementsprechend sind in der Lasche 10, die wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, auch mit abgerundeten Ecken ausgeführt sein kann, insgesamt vier Lochpaare bestehend aus Rundlöchern 16 und Schlitzen 17 vorgesehen.In the embodiment of a folder 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 5, a total of four tongues 21 are punched out of the back 2 of the folder 1 and accordingly there are a total of tab 10, which, as shown in FIG. 5, can also be designed with rounded corners four pairs of holes consisting of round holes 16 and slots 17 are provided.

In Fig. 5 ist noch gezeigt, daß die Zungen 21 einander seitlich überlappend aus dem Rücken 2 ausgestanzt sind, so daß diese länger sein können als der Abstand ihrer mit dem Rücken 2 verbundenen Enden voneinander.In Fig. 5 it is also shown that the tongues 21 are punched laterally overlapping each other from the back 2, so that they can be longer than the distance between their ends connected to the back 2 from each other.

Obwohl nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt, sind für die erfindungsgemäße Heftmappe 1 auch Ausführungsformen mit einer anderen Anordnung von Zungen und den entsprechend angeordneten Lochpaaren in der Lasche 10 denkbar, um in ein und derselben Heftmappe 1 je nach Bedarf Schriftgut mit zwei, drei oder vier Löchern ablegen zu können. Insbesondere bei dieser Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Heftmappe 1 kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Zungen aus dem Rücken 2 der Heftmappe 1 nicht freigestanzt, sondern nur angestanzt sind, so daß nur die jeweils benötigten Zungen aus dem Rücken gelöst werden können.Although not shown in the drawing, embodiments with a different arrangement of tongues and the correspondingly arranged pairs of holes in the flap 10 are also conceivable for the folder 1 according to the invention, in order to store documents with two, three or four holes in one and the same folder 1 as required can. In particular in this embodiment of the folder 1 according to the invention it can be provided that the tongues are not punched out of the back 2 of the folder 1, but are only punched out, so that only the tongues required in each case can be detached from the back.

Die erfindungsgemäße Heftmappe 1 kann als Mappe zum Abheften von Schriftgut beliebiger Größe, so z.B. für das Format DIN A4 ausgebildet sein. Es ist auch möglich, die Heftmappe 1 zum Sammeln von Kontoauszügen auszulegen, wozu zie entsprechend kleiner (z.B. 20 x 11 cm) ausgeführt ist. Eine Heftmappe 1, die für Kontoauszüge bestimmt ist, wird anders als Mappen, in denen Prospekte u.ä. abgehef tet sind, praktisch nur geöffnet, um einen weiteren Kontoauszug abzulegen. In Prospektmappen wird (und soll) hingegen häufig geblättert werden. Es genügt daher bei Heftmappen 1 für Kontoauszüge ("Kontoauszugmappen"), wenn die Heftmechanik bei geschlossener Heftmappe die Kontoauszüge festhält, wogegen ein automatisches Abnehmen der die Funktion der Abdeckleiste übernehmenden Lasche beim vollständigen Öffnen der Heftmappe 1 von Vorteil ist.The folder 1 according to the invention can be used as a folder for filing documents of any size, e.g. be trained for the A4 format. It is also possible to design folder 1 for collecting account statements, for which purpose ze is correspondingly smaller (e.g. 20 x 11 cm). A folder 1, which is intended for bank statements, is different from folders in which brochures and the like. are practically only open to file another bank statement. On the other hand, brochure folders are (and should be) leafed through frequently. It is therefore sufficient for folder 1 for account statements ("account statement folders") if the stapling mechanism holds the account statements while the folder is closed, whereas an automatic removal of the flap which takes over the function of the cover strip is advantageous when folder 1 is fully opened.

Eine solche Kontoauszugmappe ist in den Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigt. Bei dieser Mappe ist die Lasche 10 aus dem Deckel 3 in dessen vom Rückenstreifen 4 überdeckten Bereich, d.h. zwischen den Schweißnähten 7 und 8 vorgesehen. Bei geschlossener Mappe (Fig. 7) sind die Zungen 13, 14 durch die Löcher 16 und 17 in der Lasche 10, die beide als Schlitze ausgebildet sind, gesteckt, so daß das Schriftgut 15 (die Kontoauszüge) sicher gehalten werden. Sobald der Deckel 3 beim Öffnen der Heftmappe 1 in die in Fig. 6 gezeigte Lage geklappt wird, wird die Lasche 10 von den Zungen 13, 14 abgezogen und ein weiterer Kontoauszug kann abgelegt werden. In diesem Fall sind die Verbindungen 16' gleich breit wie die Löcher 16 selbst. Es ist auch möglich, die Verbindungen 16' sich zum freien Rand 28 der Lasche 10 hin verbreiternd auszubilden. Auch bei als Schlitze ausgebildeten Löchern 16 können die Verbindungen 16' wenigstens in ihrem lochseitigen Ende schmäler sein als das Loch 16 selbst.Such an account statement folder is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In this folder, the tab 10 is provided from the cover 3 in its area covered by the back strip 4, ie between the weld seams 7 and 8. When the folder is closed (FIG. 7), the tongues 13, 14 are inserted through the holes 16 and 17 in the tab 10, which are both designed as slots, so that the documents 15 (the account statements) are held securely. As soon as the cover 3 is folded into the position shown in FIG. 6 when the folder 1 is opened, the tab 10 is pulled off the tongues 13, 14 and a further account statement can be filed. In this case, the connections 16 'are the same width as the holes 16 themselves. It is also possible for the connections 16 ′ to be widened toward the free edge 28 of the tab 10. Even in the case of holes 16 designed as slots, the connections 16 ′ can be narrower than the hole 16 itself, at least in its hole-side end.

Die in den Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigte Ausführungsform ist freilich nicht auf Kontoauszugmappen beschränkt, sondern ist überall dort von Vorteil, wo in erster Linie Schriftstücke gesammelt werden. Bei der in Fig. 8 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Lasche 10 im Bereich eines ihrer Enden mittels einer Schweißnaht 25 mit dem Rücken 2 bzw. dem Rückenstreifen 4 verbunden.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is of course not limited to account statement portfolios, but is advantageous wherever primarily documents are collected. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the tab 10 is connected to the back 2 or the back strip 4 in the region of one of its ends by means of a weld seam 25.

In Fig. 9 ist gezeigt, daß die Zungen 13 und 14 auch aus einem mit dem Rücken 2 durch eine längslaufende Schweiß naht 27 verbundenen Streifen 26 herausgestanzt sein können. Bei der Heftmappe 1 von Fig. 9 ist überdies die Lasche 10 mit dem Streifen 26 in einem Stück ausgebildet.In Fig. 9 it is shown that the tongues 13 and 14 can also be punched out of a seam 26 connected to the back 2 by a longitudinal weld 27 strips 26 can be punched out. In the folder 1 of Fig. 9, the tab 10 is also formed with the strip 26 in one piece.

Die in Fig. 10 teilweise gezeigte Heftmappe 1 besitzt einen Rücken 2 und einen Deckel 3, die miteinander durch einen Rückenstreifen 4 verbunden sind. Im Überlappungsbereich von Rückenstreifen 4 und Rücken 2 ist der eine Schenkel des Streifens 26 angeordnet und durch Schweißnähte 9 und 27 fixiert. Der andere Schenkel des Streifens 26 bildet die Lasche 10. Die Lasche 10 ist durch eine Unterlage 30 verstärkt, wobei die Löcher 16 und 17 sowohl in der Lasche 10 als auch in der Unterlage 30 vorgesehen sind. Die Unterlage 30 ist mit der Lasche 10 durch Schweißnähte 31 verbunden.The folder 1 partially shown in FIG. 10 has a back 2 and a cover 3, which are connected to one another by a back strip 4. One leg of the strip 26 is arranged in the overlap area of the back strip 4 and the back 2 and is fixed by welds 9 and 27. The other leg of the strip 26 forms the tab 10. The tab 10 is reinforced by a base 30, the holes 16 and 17 being provided in both the tab 10 and in the base 30. The pad 30 is connected to the tab 10 by welds 31.

Aus dem vom Rückenstreifen 4 überdeckten Bereich des Rükkens 2 sind die Zungen 14 freigestanzt. Das Einführen der Zungen 14 in die Löcher 16 gestaltet sich besonders einfach, da die Verbindungsbereiche 16' sich nicht nur zum freien Rand 28 der Lasche 10 hin verbreitern, sondern mit diesen auch einen spitzen Winkel einschließen.The tongues 14 are punched out of the area of the back 2 covered by the back strip 4. The insertion of the tongues 14 into the holes 16 is particularly simple since the connecting regions 16 'not only widen towards the free edge 28 of the tab 10, but also form an acute angle with them.

Im Rückenstreifen 4 sind noch Öffnungen 32 eingestanzt, durch die - nach dem Heraustrennen der Folienteile - in den Raum zwischen dem Rückenstreifen 4 und dem einen Schenkel 33 des Streifens 26 eine Hängeschiene eingeschoben werden kann.Openings 32 are also punched into the back strip 4, through which - after the film parts have been removed - a hanging rail can be inserted into the space between the back strip 4 and one leg 33 of the strip 26.
