Pocket casing effective to house a note booklet

Abstract

 The casing comprises a cardboard or other suitable material sheet member, as suitably transversely die cutin such a way as to define five portions (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), the two intermediate whereof form, respectively, the front and rear flaps or flats of a cover member, and being separated by a portion forming the back of the cover member, the two end portions being effective to be folded onto the flaps and joined to two sides thereof by means of perimetrical edge portions (6) as laterally formed with respect to the end portions or intermediate portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a pocket casing effective to house a note-booklet.

[0002] As it is known,it is conventional for determined makers,banks,professional offices and the like to give their clients,under particular circumstances, advertising articles.

[0003] Among these articles there are to be mentioned, owing to their rather reduced cost, the so-called note booklets which substantially comprise a plurality of stacked small sheets as associated to a generic binding arrangement.

[0004] Obviously this latter will have determined aesthetic characteristics,as well as functional characteristics, since it will be an image of the offering company.

[0005] To this end there are presently used hide or hide- like material binding arrangements which, on the other hand, are of excessively high cost and scarcely suitable to support written sheets or advertising messages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] Thus,the present invention sets out to eliminate the thereinabove cited drawbacks of the known note booklet, by providing a note booklet which is of very reduced cost and in the meanwhile of great functionality.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a pocket casing,effective to house a note booklet,characterized in that it comprises a cardboard or other suitable material sheet member,as suitably transversely die cut and ribbed in such a way as to define five portions,the two intermediate portions whereof are effective to form,respectively, the front and rear flaps of a cover member,and being separated by a portion forming the back of said cover member,the two end portions being effective to be folded onto said flaps and joined to two sides thereof, by means of perimetrical edge portions as laterally formed with respect to said end portions or intermediate portions.

[0008] Thus the folded cardboard provides two pockets, one whereof is effective to easily house the note-booklet supporting cardboard,while the other whereof is effective to house individual note sheets.

[0009] Advantageously on the front and rear flaps of the cover member it is further possible to print advertising messagges or words.

[0010] It is to be pointed out that the aforesaid folded edge portions, which act as structural strengthrn- ing members,permit thinner cardboards to be used for making said cover member.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] These and other characteristics,of functional and constructional nature, of the pocket casing effective to house a note booklet, according to the present invention, will become more apparent from the following detailed description,with reference to the accompanying drawings, where:

fig.l illustrates the die cut and ribbed cardboard for making the casing according to the present invention;

fig.2 illustrates that same cardboard,as folded and glued;

fig.3 illustrates the casing according to the present invention,in an open condition and housing a note booklet;

fig.4 illustrates that same casing,in a closed condition whereof and as seen from the rear.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0012] Referring now to the reference numbers of the figures of the accompanying drawings,the pocket casing effective to house a note booklet according to the present invention,oomprises a cardboard or other suitable material sheet,as suitably squared in such a way as to present a substantially elongated configuration.

[0013] More specifically,said cardboard is die-cut and ribbed in such a way as to define four portions (1),(2),(3),(4),the two intermediate portions whereof form,respectively,the front and rear flaps or flats of a cover member,being separated from one another by a further portion (5),forming the back of said cover member.

[0014] The two end portions of the cardboard are folded on said flaps and joined thereto by means of perimetrical edge portions (6),as laterally formed with respect to said end portions or intermediate porti.ons.

[0015] The thus formed two pockets (7) and (8), are accordingly provided with a longitudinally extending strenghtening member and they present, between the two portions whereof,a distance which is effectice to house the bottom supporting member of a note booklet, (9), or note sheets.

[0016] On said portion (1) of the cardboard,coupled to the portion (2),forming the front flaps of said cover member,there is formed,for example by die-cutting,a tab (10),these latter being suitably ribbed in the transversal direction.

[0017] On said portion (3) of the cardboard sheet, forming the rear flaps of the cover member,there is formed,on the other hand,a slot (11) effective to house the end of said tab.

[0018] Said portion (1),forming the inside wall of the pocket (7),effective to house note sheets,is moreover preferably provided with a shaped edge,effective to facilitate the removing of said sheets.

[0019] From the above description and the observation of the figures of the accompanying drawings,there are self-evident the great functionality and use facility characterizing the pocket casing effective to house a note booklet,according to the present invention.
