Abstract

Fastening device for a flat and perforated object in a magazine, characterized in that at least one page (1) of the magazine has at least one cut (2), a flap (3) being formed by part of the course of the cut (2), that the flat and perforated object is inserted into the cut (2) such that the tab (3) is inserted through the hole (41) of the flat and perforated object, and that a sticker (5) covers both a partial surface of the side (1 ) in the area of the rag (3), as well as the flat and perforated object.

Description

The invention relates to a fastening device for one flat and perforated item in a magazine.

It is known that in magazines Advertising brochures or other small items such as records, CD's, CD-ROMS's or floppy disks be enclosed.

It is known to use (transparent) covers for this, which are stuck on or in the magazine or catalog.

From the magazine "PC Direkt" special edition 1/94 it is also known to arrange two boxes parallel to one another, which are connected to each other on their long side. By appropriate Recesses in the top box can two CD-ROMs stuck in a total of three parallel sections of the box be that the lower section of the CD-ROM on top just below the middle is arranged. This covers the largest possible segment part. A middle cut forms a support strip that is at least partially runs between the staggered CD-ROMs and at the same time the lower edge the recess for forms the CD-ROM below. The top cut is so high up is arranged that the Carton a small segment part at the top of the top CD-ROM covers and thus holds them. The underlying CD-ROM is essentially the one above CD-ROM and the support strip held.

The known fastening devices have several disadvantages.

The (transparent) case must be closable so that the CD-ROM does not fall out when the magazine or catalog is transported. Come in addition, that these Envelope additional Has weight. The known covers, in particular the transparent covers, are also made of plastic, so that the magazine in question or the catalog is a composite material in terms of waste law, which should be disposed of separately.

The disadvantage of the solution known from the time step "PC Direct" is the high proportion by weight of the carton and the laborious task of inserting the CD-ROMs.

From the DE 32 41 616 A1 a storage device for flat data carriers is known. The storage device consists essentially of folded paper, which creates open pockets for receiving the flat data carrier. A flat data carrier can be inserted into these pockets. A disadvantage of this solution is the lack of protection against the flat data carrier slipping out of the pockets. In particular when shipping magazines, it can happen that the magazines assume an "upside down" position in which the flat data carrier could slip out of the pocket and / or be lost.

In Scripture DE 8712624 U1 describes a book cover that is specially designed to accommodate a flat data carrier. There two further parts are stuck onto a normal book cover like a sandwich. A frame follows directly on the book cover, which has the outer dimensions of the book cover and an interior corresponding to the size of the flat data carrier. The flat data carrier can be inserted into this interior. To prevent the flat data carrier from falling out, a glued-on protective flap is provided, which must be torn open before the flat data carrier can be removed. A disadvantage of the known book cover is the construction consisting of a large number of parts and the manufacturing effort resulting therefrom.

The DE 9306283 U1 shows a blank for an envelope, provided for receiving a flat data carrier. Two parts pivotably connected via a fold serve as the base and cover, a tab being punched out of the base. This tab is inserted through an opening in the flat data carrier and then the lid is closed. The flat data carrier is secured against slipping by the tab and the fold. The disadvantage of this device is the various work steps for inserting and turning over the fold.

The invention has for its object a Fastening device for disc-shaped objects, in particular To create CD-ROMs in which the disadvantages of the known systems be eliminated.

This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

In the solution according to the invention just a single cut in the relevant page of the magazine or the catalog, the page regarding the paper thickness not reinforced must become. It is therefore already the usual one paper thickness from about 150-250 g per sqm sufficient. The flat perforated object is in the inserted through the slot formed and the tab through the Hole of the object. Subsequently is indicated by a sticker in the area of the hole of the flat object this and the magazine linked together. Thus, one simple device for fastening flat, perforated objects in magazines created. It is obvious that the invention in terms its applicability is not only limited to CD-ROMs, but also other flat ones objects if they have a mounting hole, be fixed with them can.

It is obvious that the fiction device is not limited to the attachment of a single flat and perforated object in a magazine. Insofar as the strength of the paper or cardboard used for the page is sufficient, several flat and perforated objects can also be attached to a single (title) page.

To explain the invention in more detail below an embodiment described with a CD-ROM based on the drawing. Here shows

• 1 a front page of a magazine,
• 2 a front page of a magazine in a further embodiment,
• 3 a front page of a magazine in a third embodiment,
• 4 the front page of a magazine with an inserted CD-ROM and
• 5 the front page of a magazine with a CD-ROM permanently attached.

1 shows the page 1 a magazine. There is a cut anywhere on the page 2 , This cut 2 has an elongated rag in the middle 3 on. In the specific embodiment, the rag 3 shaped rectangular. It is obvious that other elongated shapes, for example half of a steep sine curve, are also conceivable. Symmetrical to the rag 3 are a left cut at the lower end 21 and a right cut 22 arranged.

In the in 1 illustrated embodiment has the rag 3 up. 2 shows a further embodiment in which the flap 3 is arranged downwards.

3 shows a third embodiment in which the flap 3 similar to that in the 2 is arranged downwards. The difference in the embodiments between 2 and 3 is that in 3 the cut 2 , so far as the side parts of the rag 3 are generated via the left section 21 and the right cut 22 is arranged.

For reasons of simplification, the invention is described below with reference to 1 illustrated embodiment described in more detail.

4 also shows a page 1 a magazine, this time with an inserted CD-ROM 4 , Through the (middle) hole 41 the CD-ROM 4 is the rag 3 plugged. The CD-ROM 4 is thus essentially with its upper half on the side 1 of the magazine still visible.

In the specific embodiment, the left section 21 and the right cut 22 arranged at an obtuse angle to each other. It is obvious that other arrangements, for example a 180 degree angle, are also possible. Angle arrangements that are larger than 180 degrees are also conceivable. However, if the related angle becomes too large, the device loses strength. In this respect, it is necessary, based on the type of paper actually used, to weigh up the desired area from the CD-ROM 4 should be visible and the required strength of the device.

It is also advantageous if the distance between the two ends of the cut 2 is smaller than the diameter of the CD-ROM, so that it cannot slide up out of the slot.

5 shows a finally attached CD-ROM 4 , This is done in the area of the hole 41 the CD-ROM 4 a sticker 5 (hatched area) attached. Since the CD-ROM is round, it makes sense for optical reasons to use the sticker 5 also round. It is obvious, however, that all other geometric shapes, for example a square, can also be possible and useful. The sticker 5 covers a part of the page with its adhesive surface 1 as well as part of the lap-pen 3 , as well as a section of the CD-ROM, thus optimally fixing the CD-ROM in the page.

For optical reasons, it is advantageous to use one Stickers from a thin use transparent adhesive film. This will result in an optical impairment by covering the partial areas avoided.
