The specific embodiment

Figure 1A to Fig. 1 E represents the various views according to the lever-arch file folder mechanism of one embodiment of the present invention, and described mechanism is usually by 10 expressions.Clearly extremely more shown in Figure 4 as Fig. 2, mechanism 10 has flat substantially base 12, and base 12 is made by the metal or metal alloy sheet.Base 12 has four holes 14, in the hole 14, is used for mechanism 10 is fixably attached to substrate (as cardboard covers) as described in fixture (as rivet) can be contained in, to form lever-arch file folder or similar paper-retaining device.

Base 12 also has two holes 16 that are provided with along its long limit, post 18a, and the lower end of 18b is contained in each hole 16, is used for corresponding post 18a, and 18b is fixed to base 12.Two anchor clamps 20 are grown the limit along the opposing parallel of base 12 and are provided with, and are used for engaging two arched member 24a of connection, the bent stick 22 of 24b.By such setting,

arched member

24a, 24b can be around the axis T-T pivot rotation of two straight portions 26 that pass through bent stick 22.When bent stick 22 was installed in this mechanism 10, the straight portion 26 of bent stick 22 was contained in the anchor clamps 20.Thereby, can rotoflector bar 22, so that

arched member

24a, 24b is with respect to base 12 and post 18a, 18b is the pivot rotation between the primary importance and the second place.In described primary importance, arched member 24a, the free end 25a of 24b, 25b and post 18a, the last free end 19a of 18b, 19b cooperates, to form two rings from base 12 upwardly extending sealings; In the described second place, arched member 24a, the free end 25a of 24b, 25b and post 18a, the last free end 19a of 18b, 19b disengages, to form two rings of opening.

In the ring open mode, the paper that is installed with the hole can insert post 18a, 18b and arched member 24a, and among the 24b or from post 18a, 18b and arched member 24a take out among the 24b; In the ring seal state, paper passes through by post 18a, 18b and arched member 24a, and the environmental protection of the sealing that 24b forms is held.Spring leaf 28 is positioned at the following of bent stick 22 and acts on bent stick 22, and described spring leaf 28 pushes encircle bent stick 22 to open position.

Lever assembly 30 is used to control the pivot motion of bent stick 22, thus control arched member 24a, the pivot motion of 24b.Lever assembly 30 is made up of five interconnected connecting

rods

32,34,36,38,40.As shown in Figure 2, an end of connecting rod 32 links to each other with an end of connecting rod 34 by rivet 42, and to move around the relative pivot of axis P-P, when operating lever assembly 30, described axis P-P moves.Second end of connecting rod 34 links to each other with an end of connecting rod 36 by rivet 44, and to move around the relative pivot of axis F-F, when operating lever assembly 30, described axis F-F moves.Connecting rod 36 links to each other with connecting rod 38 by rivet 46, and to move around the relative pivot of axis L-L, when operating lever assembly 30, described axis L-L moves.Connecting rod 38 links to each other with connecting rod 40 by rivet 48, and to move around the relative pivot of axis S-S, when operating lever assembly 30, described axis S-S moves.

Connecting

rod

32,40 engages with ear 50 by rivet 52, and described ear 50 extends upward and forms as one with base 12 from base 12, thereby connecting

rod

32,40 can be around with respect to base 12 and post 18a, and the common axis N-N pivot that 18b fixes rotates.Third connecting rod 36 also joins plate 56 to by rivet 54, and described plate 56 extends upward and forms as one with base 12 from base 12, with around with respect to base 12 and post 18a, and the axis M-M pivot motion that 18b is fixing.As can be seen, the distance between axis M-M and the base 12 is greater than the distance between axis N-N and the base 12.It can also be seen that, no matter at the process axis of operating lever assembly 30 P-P, F-F, how L-L and S-S move, axis P-P, F-F, L-L, S-S, M-M and N-N are parallel to each other and perpendicular to axis T-T.

Connecting

rod

32,40 is for user's manual operation, optionally to open and to seal by post 18a, 18b and arched member 24a, the ring that 24b forms.For the comfortableness of use further is provided, the free end of connecting

rod

32,40 and corresponding working of

plastics

58,60 fixing the mode of molding (for example by).These two working of

plastics

58,60 can possess different color (for example red and green), to show the difference in functionality of connecting rod 32,40.In the present embodiment, the distance between the distance between the free end of axis N-N and connecting rod 32 and the free end of axis N-N and connecting rod 40 is identical, though these two distances also can be different.Connecting rod 36 is by axle 62 supporting rollers 64, so that roller 64 rotatablely moves on the middle part of the bent stick 22 of 24b and along this middle part connecting arched member 24a.

Referring now to Fig. 5 A to Fig. 5 D, expression is in the various views of the lever-arch file folder mechanism 10 in the ring seal state.As can be seen, connecting

rod

32,40 extends by the identical ring that is formed by post 18a and arched member 24a.When connecting rod 32 downward pivots move, to make connecting rod 36 (described connecting rod 36 is connected with connecting rod 32 by middle connecting rod 34) along the rotation of the direction pivot shown in the arrow K, so roller 64 rotates to the upper position shown in Fig. 6 A to Fig. 9 D away from its extreme lower position shown in Fig. 5 A to Fig. 5 D to head lamp brush guard pivot.

During when roller 64 thereby away from its extreme lower position motion, make spring leaf 28 to the head lamp brush guard pivot rotation, thereby make bent stick 22 away from post 18a, the rotation of 18b pivot, described to open to ring.Plate 56 has crooked crooked protuberance 66 (seeing Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 A), and extend on the main surface of described crooked protuberance 66 slave plates 56, is used for the scope of limiting rod 36 in the motion of both direction head lamp brush guard pivot.Because connecting rod 36 is connected with connecting rod 40 by middle connecting rod 38,, will make connecting rod 40 rotate to the position shown in Fig. 6 A to Fig. 9 D to head lamp brush guard pivot so connecting rod 36 moves along the pivot of direction shown in the arrow K.When mechanism 10 was in the ring open mode, the paper that is installed with the hole can remain on post 18a, 18b or arched member 24a, and among the 24b or from post 18a, 18b or arched member 24a take out among the 24b.

As can be seen, when the ring seal state that is in shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 D, distance between the free end of base 12 and connecting rod 32 is greater than the distance between the free end of base 12 and connecting rod 40, and when the ring open mode that is in shown in Fig. 6 A to Fig. 9 D, the distance between the free end of base 12 and connecting rod 40 is greater than the distance between the free end of base 12 and connecting rod 32.

With reference to the ring open mode shown in figure 6A to Fig. 9 D, the moving downward of connecting rod 40 will make connecting rod 36 direction shown in the arrow J in Fig. 9 A rotate with respect to plate 56 pivots, so roller 64 will return its extreme lower position in the ring seal state shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 D, this upwards biasing force pivot that makes bent stick 22 overcome spring leaf 28 rotates to the ring seal state.In addition, since connecting

rod

32,34,36,38, interconnecting between 40, and the downward pivot motion of connecting rod 40 will make connecting rod 32 to the head lamp brush guard pivot rotation, thereby get back to the position shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 D.When mechanism 10 is in the ring seal state, by post 18a, 18b and arched member 24a, the ring of the sealing that 24b forms can keep being installed with the paper in hole.

Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B represent connecting

rod

32,34,36,38 when mechanism 10 is in the ring seal state, and 40 relative position, Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B are then represented connecting

rod

32,34,36,38 when mechanism is in the ring open mode, 40 relative position.Figure 12 represents connecting

rod
