Abstract
The invention relates to a folding board for folding paper (A) of a standard size, such as stationary, to which end the folding board is provided with position checks (2,3) for holding the paper to be folded in position as well as with a folding mark (4). Thanks to the folding mark (4) it is possible to quickly and accurately fold paper in three. Further folding marks make the folding board suitable for different standard paper sizes, such as DIN A4 and US letter paper. Using the aid, paper can also quickly, easily and accurately be folded double or folded twice double.
Claims5
A paper folding aid made in one piece for folding paper of a standard size, in particular stationary, comprising a base plate (1), with the width of the base plate (1) at a position of the fold to be formed being at least the same as that of the paper (A) to be folded, said base plate being provided with position checks (2,3), which are affixed to the base plate and have heights extending up from the base plate to allow the paper (A), to be folded, and to be placed in a fixed position with one position check being along a long side of the paper (A), the position checks (2,3) being located so that they contact and align two adjacent sides of the paper (A), the position checks having sufficient lengths so as to extend over substantial portions of the respective sides of the paper that is positioned along side the position checks, one position check being of reduced height above the base plate at a level where a fold in the paper (A) is to be formed and being provided with a folding mark (4) which is visible next to a long side of the paper (A) near said reduced height of the one position check so that when the paper (A) is placed in the fixed position, a fold in said paper is conveniently made.
