Disclosed is a magnetic postcard. Despite the considerable weight of the magnetic equipment on the body of the card, said postcard weighs less than the maximum admissible weight therefor and meets all requirements for the dispatch of postcards.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
MagnetpostkarteMagnetic postcard
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Postkarte nach Gattung des Hauptanspruchs . Es sind Postkarten mit magnetischer Ausrüstung vor allem als Werbeträger bekannt, die aber die spezi- eilen Anforderungen, die im Postverkehr verlangt werden, im Zusammenhang mit ihrer magnetischen Ausrüstung oft nicht erfüllen. Derartige Karten dürfen daher in Deutschland nicht für die Verwendung im Postverkehr hergestellt werden. Andererseits ist ihre Verwendung sowohl als Werbeträger als auch in Form einer Ansichtskarte wünschenswert wegen ihrer einfachen Befestigung an metallischen Gegenständen. Bisher bekannte Karten weisen zudem den Nachteil einer eingeschränkten Beschreibbarkeit auf .The invention is based on a postcard according to the type of the main claim. Postcards with magnetic equipment are primarily known as advertising media, but they often do not meet the special requirements that are required in postal traffic in connection with their magnetic equipment. Such cards may therefore not be produced in Germany for use in postal traffic. On the other hand, their use as an advertising medium and in the form of a postcard is desirable because of their simple attachment to metallic objects. Cards known to date also have the disadvantage of limited writeability.
Die Erfindung und ihre VorteileThe invention and its advantages
Die erfindungsgemäße Postkarte mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß sie in gewohnter Weise beschreibbar ist und zudem so gestal- tet werden kann, daß sie allen Anforderungen, die im Postverkehr verlangt werden, erfüllt. Dazu wird der magnetische Kartenkörper zumindest einseitig mit einem Papier beschichtet, das ein Flächengewicht von höchstens 200 g/m2 besitzt:The postcard according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that it can be described in the usual way and can also be designed in such a way that it fulfills all the requirements that are required in postal traffic. For this purpose, the magnetic card body is coated on at least one side with a paper that has a weight per unit area of at most 200 g / m 2 :
Die Verwendung eines derartigen Papiers als Beschichtung bewirkt eine normal beschreib- und bedruckbare Oberfläche, wie man sie von herkömmlichen Postkarten kennt. Zudem sind diese Eigenschaften des Papiers für seine problemlose Verarbeitung sowohl bei seiner Herstellung als auch beim Versand erforder- lieh. Das bezeichnete Papier ermöglicht, daß die Postkarte gemäß Hauptanspruch in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bereits werkseitig mit einer vorschriftsgemäßen Adressfeldeinteilung bedruckt wird.The use of such paper as a coating results in a normally writable and printable surface, as is known from conventional postcards. In addition, these properties of the paper are necessary for its problem-free processing, both during its manufacture and during shipping. The designated paper enables the postcard in accordance with the main claim in an advantageous embodiment of the invention to be printed in the factory with a correct address field division.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verfügt die Postkarte über die im Postverkehr vorgeschriebenen Abmessungen. Damit wird verhindert, daß für die Beförderung erhöhtes Porto verlangt wird, oder die Annahme wegen nicht eingehaltener Abmessungen verweigert wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the postcard has the dimensions prescribed in postal traffic. This prevents increased postage from being demanded for transportation or refuses to be accepted due to dimensions not being met.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird für die beidseitige Beschichtung des Kartenkörpers ein Papier mit einem Flächengewicht von maximal 90 g/m2, bei ein- seitiger Beschichtung von maximal 180 g/m2 verwendet. DieAccording to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, paper with a surface weight of at most 90 g / m 2 is used for the double-sided coating of the card body, with a one-sided coating of at most 180 g / m 2 . The
Verwendung dieses Papiers stellt sicher, daß die Postkarte, die infolge ihres magnetischen Kartenkörpers ein recht hohes Gewicht hat, durch die Beschichtung mit Papier die zulässige Höchstgrenze für das Gewicht einer Postkarte nicht über- schreitet. Zudem ist bei der Auswahl des Papiers eine ausreichende Saugf higkeit zu beachten, um die für die Postbeförderung notwendige Strichkodierungen unter dem Adressfeld aufbringen zu können.Use of this paper ensures that the postcard, which is quite heavy due to its magnetic card body, does not exceed the permissible maximum weight for a postcard due to the coating with paper. In addition, when selecting the paper, sufficient absorbency must be taken into account in order to be able to apply the bar codes required for mailing under the address field.
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description, the drawing and the claims.
Zeichnungdrawing
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfinderischen Postkarte ist vereinfacht in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsAn embodiment of an inventive postcard is shown in simplified form in the drawing and is described in more detail below. Description of the embodiment
Die Zeichnung zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung durch eine erfinderische magnetische Postkarte. Diese besteht im Kern aus ei- nem magnetisch ausgerüsteten Kartenkörper 1, der in seinen Abmessungen innerhalb der für den Postverkehr vorgeschriebenen Grenzen liegt. Er ist bedingt durch seine magnetische Ausrüstung in der Regel so schwer, daß er nahe an der Obergrenze des höchstzulässigen Gewichts für Postkarten liegt. Außerdem ist der Kartenkörper 1, der für erfindungsgemäße Postkarten verwendet wird, von sich aus nicht beschreibbar, insbesondere nicht mit Kugelschreiber.The drawing shows a sectional view through an inventive magnetic postcard. At its core, this consists of a magnetically equipped card body 1, the dimensions of which lie within the limits prescribed for postal traffic. Due to its magnetic equipment, it is usually so heavy that it is close to the upper limit of the maximum permissible weight for postcards. In addition, the card body 1, which is used for postcards according to the invention, cannot be written on by itself, especially not with a ballpoint pen.
Die Beschreibbarkeit und das Gewicht sind zwei wesentliche Gesichtspunkte, die das Papier 2 erfüllen muß. Hinsichtlich des Gewichtes sollte es möglichst dünn und damit leicht sein, muß aber andererseits über eine ausreichende Saugfähigkeit verfügen, so daß es beschrieben und insbesondere für den Postversand mit einem Strichcode bedruckt werden kann. Dafür ist eine genau definierte Saugfähigkeit einzuhalten. Andererseits muß das Papier 2 auch eine Mindeststeifigkeit aufweisen, so daß es in Verbindung mit dem Klebstoff 3 zu postkartengroßen Etiketten verarbeitet werden kann. Dazu muß das verwendete Papier 2 LängsZugkräfte von mindestens 5 kN/m, Quer ugkräfte von mindestens 2,5 kN/m verkraften sowie eine Biegesteifigkeit in Längsrichtung von mindestens 0,25 Nm2 bzw. in Querrichtung von mindestens 0,1 Nm2 aufweisen.Writeability and weight are two essential considerations that paper 2 must meet. With regard to the weight, it should be as thin as possible and therefore light, but on the other hand it must have sufficient absorbency so that it can be written on and printed with a bar code, in particular for mailing. For this, a precisely defined absorbency must be observed. On the other hand, the paper 2 must also have a minimum stiffness, so that it can be processed into postcard-sized labels in conjunction with the adhesive 3. For this purpose, the paper used must be able to cope with 2 longitudinal tensile forces of at least 5 kN / m, transverse tensile forces of at least 2.5 kN / m and a flexural rigidity in the longitudinal direction of at least 0.25 Nm 2 or in the transverse direction of at least 0.1 Nm 2 .
Alle in der Beschreibung, den nachfolgenden Ansprüchen und der Zeichnung dargestellten Merkmale können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebiger Kombination miteinander erfindungswesentlich sein. All the features shown in the description, the following claims and the drawing can be essential to the invention both individually and in any combination with one another.
