Abstract

ABSTRACT

A holding strip for exchangeable information carriers includes a fastening member for fastening it to the edge regions of shelves, containers and the like. The strip further includes a receiving pocket, attachable to the fastening member, for the information carriers which are formed by the rear wall and by a transparent front wall, with the rear wall and the front wall being hinged together at the base and with the upper edge of the rear wall gripping the free edge of the front wall in a covering manner. The strip is characterized in that a band shaped, flexible connecting element is arranged between the fastening member and the rear wall. The connecting element has longitudinally extending free end regions connected on the one side in a force-locking manner with the fastening member and on the other side with the rear wall. The connecting element spans, with its middle region, the distance between the fastening member and the rear wall in a supporting manner.

~. _~
Thi~ applicatlon claims the priority of German Application G9015215.~ filed November 6th, 1390, the ~ubiect o~ which is incorporated herein ~y re~erence.
~
The inventi~n rela~e~ to a holding s~rip ~or exchange-able information carriers in~luding ~ ~as~ening portion ~or fixing it to edge regi~n~ o~ shelves, containers and the like and including a reaeiYing pocket ~o~med o~ a rear wall and a t~ansparen~ front wall ~or the inf~rmation carriars, ~ith the rear ~all ~nd the ~ront wall hinged together and with the upper edge o~ the rear wall gripping over the ~ree edge of the fro~ wall in a co~ering manner.
~hi~ typs o~ holdin~ strip is disclo~ed în G~rm~n Utillty Model Paten~ 89 0~ 664. In the holding strip described thera, fa~tening o~ the holding ~ip to ~he fastening m~mber ocaurs by way of an intermediary sec-~ion equipped with detent elements. This in~ermediary se~tion is în a~tive connection wi~h the detent~ in order to ~ix de~ned angular positions. The intarmediary section can in this ca~e be :ea~tened to the exterior wall o~ the fa~tening msmber by w~y o~ ~luingt The advan~age o~ di~erent angular position~, which a~e pos~i~le on ac~ount o~ ~he ~es ribed d~tent elaments, allow~ the holding ~r~.p to be pivoted and 20~a~

~ixed ~t diP~erenk angle~. ThuG, t~e holding strip can be oriented in a plur~lity ~ directlon~, i.e~, -the in~rmation carriers th~t are ins~rted into the rec~iving pocXet can b~
read ~rom different directions~ depending on the position of the datent an~le. Although ~hi~ prior art holding strip provi~es a solution which ~uccessfully deal~ wi~h the problem o~ a single orientation, considerable disadvantages result from thi~ prior art ~olution. These disadv~ntages are due to a~embly technology, because elaborate tool technology i~
10 reguired in order ~o produce, by way of the extrusion method t detent webs which fall within the range of wall thickness u~ed here and which retain thelr preci~ dimensions during t~e extrusion process and ~ub~equent cooling process so that ~he~ ~an later per~orm thi~ deten~ function.
At thi point the novelty comes into play, wh~e object i~ ~o describe a variable hold~ng ~trip which can ~e set a~
:;:; di~erent angular positions, which i~ easy ~o ~anu~acture and ~hich can be pivoted into the~e di~ferent angula~ position~
ndependent of adhering to the exact tolerances o~ detent 20 web~. In ~hl ~ase, the novel :eeature suggests ~hat a band-~ ~hapedJ Plexible connecting slement 1~ arranged bet~en the :: fas~ening m~m~er and ~he rear wall. This c~nnecting element is conne~ed in a forc~-loc~ing manner with lts free lon-gitudina~ and region~, on the one side, to the ~astening 2 ~

member, and ~o the rea~ wall, on the other side, and with its middle section it sp~ns in a upporting manner the distancé
between the ~astening member and the rear wallO
The band-~haped, flexible connecting elemen~ i~ ad-vantageou~ly mad~ of a material ~hich makes it possible ~o bend the band within a predetermined limit range and also posses~es the characteristic to remain in the bent position after the ~lexural ~orce i~ removed. These are characteris-tic~, ~or ~xa~ple, of metal bands. However, these charac-teristias w~ich make it ~uitable as connecting elemen$, d~not ~ean that u6e i~ restricted to this material, $ince any other material may al50 be used here whlch come~ within the :~ ~cope o~ the characteristics mentioned above.
The di8tanGe between t}le ~aC~tening member and the rear 15 wall can, according to the invention, also be set by e~fect-~: : ing f orce orl ~e ~niddle region of t~e connecting element .
~owever, ~he po~;ibility ~}so ~xist~ to et ~ v~ri~ble ~;et~ing angle be~ween the :Eas~ening ~ember and the rear wall })y way o~ ef~;eec:ting force on one side o~E the c:c~nnecting ~ ~ 20 element, In ca~e o~ variable settings, the connecting :~ element ma~ be lc:cated in the middle region of the holding ~;trip and there lt may be ar~anged at the re~r wall, on one side, and the ~aC~tening member c~n the other side. But, by the ame token, th6~ connecting ~lsment may also be located a-t ; - 4 -2 ~

the free end~ o the ~olding strip and thexe it may be con-nected in a force-locking manner with the rear wall ~n the one slde and th~ ~astening mem~er on ~h~ other side.
The ~orcP-locking connection occurs advantageously at the ~ree end region~ o-f the connectin~ ~lement, With the ~a~tening member on the ~ne side and the rear wall on the other side by embedding them in~o the wall cros~ ~ections of the ~astening member and the rear wall. This partial embedding can tak~ pla~e durin~ a3 embly of the fa~tenin~
member and the rear wall, with the free end regions of the connecti~g elements b~ing sprayed With the plastic material of th~ ~a~ning member6 and the rear wall.
The force locking connection o~ the ~ree end regions o~
the connecting ele~nt with the ~a~teni~g mem~er and the rear ~5 ~a~l can al~o be performed by loc~ing or gluin~. In ~uch case~, p~cket-~haped det~nt grooves are foxmed at the de~in~d ~: locations on the rear wall and/or the fastening ~ember during the original ~aping pro~ess. The free ends of the ~onnect-~ng element are then lo~ed into the~e groove in an asse~bly proce~. During thi~ loc~in~ proce~s the ~ree end can : additionally be ~astened in the detent groo~es by means o~
adhesive substance~. However, it i~ also pos~ible with adhesive ~ub3tances available today to permanentl~ attach the free ~nds of the connecting element~ by merely gluing together the longitudinal region~ o~ the ~as~ening member provided ~or this purpose and the rear wall~
Any type o~ ~hape ~ay be ~lected for the connecting element, w~th the drop or U-~hape ~eing advantayeous from the poin-t oP vlew of flexibility. ~oxeover, in the middle region o~ the connecting element, flexural aid~ may be provided, 40 that th0 force required ~or pivoting the holaing ~tri.p into the desired end po~ition is kept as small a~
po~ible. Thi~ type o~ flexural aid could he i~ the ~orm of per~orations or longitudin~lly extending notches or ~urrows.
However, if ~lexural aids o~ this type are used, attention must ~e paid that the ~orce used ~or ~ending the transpare~t front wall is always smaller than the force required ~or changing the ben~ posi~ion o~ the holding strlp.
If this requirement is ignor~d, it is possible that when the transparent ~ront wall i~ ~ent ~or ~he purpose of remQving or inse~ting the info~mat~on carriers, a random deformation of the holding strip i~ possible.
Xt is within the scope of the invention t~ use a hinge ~trip who3e individual hinge member~ are alternately anchored in~o ~ha fa~tening memb~r on th~ on~ ~ide and to the rear wall on the other side and are ~u~ually connackable with a holding pin, ~hich can Pe pas~ed through their ope~ings in a detaining manner. T~e individual hinge members can there~ore 2 ~

either be molded to the ~a~tening member or to the ~ear ~all in the initial proces~ o~ they can later be ~irmly connected in an alternatin~ man~er with ~he ~astening member and ~he rear wall. For direct shaping, the individual hin~e members m~st ~e connecked later in an alternating ma~ner by means of corre ponding ~ecesses in the hlnge ~trip The holding strip accDrding to the invention has the advantage o~ easy manufacturing and ea~y pivoti~g o~ th~
