Abstract

The insert comprises a fold-up sleeve (7) with two cover sheets (8,10) connected by a spine sheet (9) with the first cover sheet having one or more punch holes for fixing on the file bracket (5,8) whilst the second cover sheet has an engagement face for fixing on the back cover (3) over the file. The spine sheet connects the two cover sheets along the upper or lower edge of the file and is therefore wide enough to form a support surface spaced from both the front (2) and back (3) covers of the file. The cover sheets have a length across the back spine sheet to correspond to part of the length of the filed material.

Description

The invention relates to an insert for a file folder for recording filing in the file folder.

In file folders aufreiihendes or filing material, mostly paper, filed. However, if heavy leaflets are stored in the file folder, such as catalogs, exhibits and the like., These often hang out due to their weight, if the file folder is held upright. The result is similar as soon as the perforation of the filed material increases and the edge of the hole no longer closely surrounds the stirrups of the filing device of the file folder.

The disadvantage is therefore that pages or Blattgebinde sticking out and the state properties of the file folders are insufficient.

Out DE 298 15 991 U1 is a file folder with riveted on the back cover, fold-out console known which forms a front and rear cover of the file folder spaced support surface and relieved by supporting the filthy writing the hole and the Aufreihvorrichtung.

Out DE 339 560 C is a file folder with integrally formed on the back cover "backsheets" with lid leaves known, of which the upper and lower cover sheet each has a Abheftlochung for attachment to the temples of the Aufreihvorrichtung the file folder. The "back sheets" connect the cover sheets along the upper and lower edges of the file folder with this and have a spine width, each one the front cover and the back cover of the file folder spaced support surface, so that the file folder for receiving filing records for this as a whole forms a hinged shell.

The object of the present invention is to provide an insert for a file folder according to claim 1, which improves the handling of the file folder.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

As a result, an insert for a file folder for receiving filing in the file folder is provided, which includes a hinged cover of two connected by a backsheet cover sheets. A first cover sheet has at least one Abheftlochung for attachment to a bracket of the file folder. On a second cover sheet, the insert has an engagement surface for releasable attachment to a back cover of the file folder. The backsheet connects the topsheets along the top or bottom edge of the file folder and has a backsheet width, which is a Front cover and the back cover of the file folder spaced support surface forms, so that a support along the transverse edge of the filable material is possible. The leaves to be filed are supported by the backsheet. Even heavy containers do not hinder the insertion of the file into a slot. Nothing protrudes from the file. Furthermore, a file folder with good stand properties is achievable, since the front cover and the rear cover, inter alia, in spaced from the back of the file folder area to each other and form a stable state. The sleeve is foldable and does not hinder access to the file folder in the unfolded state.

Preferably, the backsheet is formed stiff and has edge-side cover edges that form abutment surfaces for the front and back cover of the file. Due to the rigid design of the backsheet, a spacing between the front and back cover of the file folder is achieved, which leads to an even greater stability of the file folder in terms of footprint. The front and back covers of the file bind to the stiff backsheet, but remain at a distance from the width of the backsheet. In addition, a solid surface is formed, which in turn does not bend or only slightly under vertical load by filing records.

In a preferred embodiment, the cover sheets have a length transversely to the backsheet, which correspond to a partial length of the filable writing material, so that the material is reduced for use and the use is less expensive.

Preferably, the first cover sheet, the at least one Abheftlochung at its upper or lower left edge, so that the use both head and bottom side can be arranged in the file folder, a head-end arrangement in the file folder also forms an upper dust cover.

In addition, a further backsheet with a further cover sheet may be provided on one side of the sleeve opposite the filing device of the file folder. With the other backsheet and the other cover sheet, the file folder can also have a dust cover at the edge. With a head, floor and edge use can achieve a nearly dustproof space in the file folder. A randseitiger use also prevents filing in the file folder is damaged if the documents abuts when inserted into a slot on a present in the insertion path of the file folder obstacle. The inserts can each be attached separately via individual attack surfaces or via a common attack surface on the back cover file folder.

If the backsheet of the insert is aligned with a footprint of the file folder, so a maximum height of the filing can be achieved. The documents can then reach to the edge of the file.

Preferably, the insert with the second cover sheet to a suspension on the inner wall surface of the rear cover releasably mounted and removed if necessary from the file folder to browse undisturbed in the file folder and have no additional element while working on the file folder. For simplicity, the suspension on the second cover sheet and the file folder via a positioning device can be aligned, for example, by the adjoining the backsheet end of the second cover sheet at the top or bottom edge of the file folder and the left edge of the first cover sheet on the fold line or the Joint line between the back and back cover of the file folder may be formed. To facilitate handling in positioning the suspension over the edge of the top panel, the suspension may be releasably connected to the top panel. Preferably, this connection is achieved by narrow severable connecting webs or by a releasable adhesive bond.

In order to establish a firm connection between the file folder and the insert, the shell can be glued in the region of the attack surface of the second cover sheet on the inner wall surface of the back cover of the file folder. Preferably, the shell has a positioning device. For this purpose, the adhesive surface of the second cover sheet can be aligned over the adjoining the backsheet end of the second cover sheet on the head or foot side edge of the file folder and the left edge of the second cover sheet at the fold line or joint line between the back and back cover of the file. If the envelope with the positioning device has a left edge, which extends to the folding line between the back and back cover of the file folder, the file folder receives due to the thickness of the second cover sheet additional stability, since a folding of the back toward the back cover reinforced prevented becomes.

The insert is preferably made in one piece from an easily editable and inexpensive material and a few millimeters, preferably 1 to 3 millimeters, particularly preferably 1 millimeter thick.

In order to protect the filing records over the entire length of the file folder, the insert in the region of the backsheet preferably extends substantially over the entire width of the back cover of the file folder.

However, it may also be provided that the backsheet is present only in a portion of the remote from the filing device of the file folder side to support the area that sags mostly due to the leverage effect of the filable material.

Preferably, the second cover sheet is rigidly formed with the engagement surface to provide a voltage applied to the rear cover of the file folder area with which a secure attachment is possible. In addition, a stiff trained Area, such as cardboard or plastic, better suited for easy installation of the insert in the file folder.

The first cover sheet is preferably rigid, for example made of cardboard or a harder plastic, designed to achieve a simple filing of the insert on the bracket and thus to ensure better handling. In addition, the Abheftlochung rips in a more educated material not so easy.

In order to ensure a simple bending between the first cover sheet and the backsheet or the second cover sheet and the backsheet, there is a hinge line region between the first cover sheet and the backsheet and / or between the second cover sheet and the backsheet. This specifies the kinks between the first cover sheet and the backsheet and the second cover sheet and the backsheet. In this case, the hinge line regions preferably run parallel to the edge of the front and back covers of the file folder in order to ensure horizontal support of the filing material to be filed.
