Abstract
The invention discloses an annular loose-leaf binder which is provided with a slender body and rings. Each ring comprises a ring member capable of moving between an opening position and a closing position. The rings and the body form a single-piece integral structure made from plastic polymer materials. The first ring member and the second ring member are in a non-deformation state in the opening position, and can move from the opening position to the closing position by causing the elastic deformation of the first ring member and the second ring member. The rings can be operated in a manner similar to a conventional metal annular loose-leaf binder so that a loose-leaf page can move from one ring member to the other ring member. A maintaining system can be used for preventing the unexpected opening of the rings caused by the weight of the loose-leaf page applied to the rings, and simultaneously, a user can easily open the rings with minimum force.

The specific embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1-9, show an embodiment of circular loose-leaf binder of the present invention with the three-ring type notebook, it is whole represents with 101.Notebook 101 comprises strip of paper used for sealing 103 (broadly, can be " substrate ") and is fixed on the strip of paper used for sealing and can operates optionally to keep and to discharge the ring mechanism 105 that loose-leaf page (not shown in figure 1) maybe can be stored other objects on encircling.
As shown in Figure 1, notebook capsule 103 has spine 107.The front and back strip of paper used for sealing 109,111 of capsule 103 hingedly is attached to spine 107 along the opposite side of spine.The front and back strip of paper used for sealing 109,111 of capsule 103 can well known to a person skilled in the art mode with respect to spine 107 motion, optionally to expose or to cover the loose-leaf page that is kept by ring mechanism 105.In the embodiment shown, ring mechanism 105 is fixed on the back strip of paper used for sealing 111 of contiguous spine 107.Yet if expectation, ring mechanism 105 can be fixed to the different piece of notebook capsule 103.Although embodiment shown in Figure 1 is a notebook, should be appreciated that other circular loose-leaf binders (being the circular loose-leaf binder of non-notebook) also within the scope of the present invention.For example, replace the notebook capsule, ring mechanism 105 can be fixed on the structure relevant with file, clipboard, memo pad, briefcase etc.
Each encircles 123 and comprises first and second ring elements 125 that extend and supported by slender body 121 from slender body 121.(Reference numeral that is used for ring element and other pairing structures can comprise suffix " a " and " b " with the expression pairing structure specific one, still, suffix can be omitted in the time can not increasing the clearness of description).For example, as shown in Figure 1, each encircles 123 ring element 125 suitably from the extension of the two opposite sides of body 121.At least the end 127 of ring element 125 can relative to each other motion between closing position (Fig. 1) and open position (Fig. 7).In closing position, continuous substantially, the closed ring of ring element 125 common formation is to allow moving to another ring element 125b along described ring from a ring element 125a by the loose-leaf page LLP (Figure 10) that ring 123 keeps.At open position (Fig. 7), ring element 125 forms ring discontinuous, that open, to be used to ring 123 to add or to remove the loose-leaf page.
The ring mechanism 105 that comprises body 121 and ring element 125 is in undeformed state when being shown in an open position (Fig. 7) at ring element.And at open position, roughly the same mode was provided with when ring element 125 was shown in an open position with the ring element with the becket mechanism of routine.For example, at open position, the end 127 of ring element 125 is suitably basic above body 121.When being in deformation-free open position, the end 127 of ring element 125 also extends internally substantially towards the other side.The imaginary line incident line 151 of the end 127 of ring element 125 is being opened undeformed position with angle A intersect each other (Fig. 8), this angle is greater than about 75 degree, more suitably greater than about 85 degree, more suitably greater than about 90 degree, more suitably, more suitably be at least about 150 degree greater than about 120 degree.Big relatively angle A facility when ring when being shown in an open position the loose-leaf page transfer to another ring element from a ring element, this is because the page does not need the earth to redirect just and can shift between ring element 125.
At deformation-free open position, end 127 also is spaced from each other is enough to allow to add and/or remove the distance D 1 (Fig. 8) of one or more loose-leaf pages (a plurality of pages that for example, are stacked together) from ring.As shown in Figure 7, for example, when ring is in deformation-free open position, suitably be provided with between two opposite end portions 143 of body 121 and in that between the end 127 at ring element 125 the straight substantially gap 135 of longitudinal extension above the body.In the embodiment shown, the distance D 1 between the end 127 of the width in gap 135 and the deformation-free ring element of opening 125 equates.At open position, gap 135 all is spacious for any structure of ring mechanism, makes the loose-leaf page to insert in the gap between the end 127 of ring element 125 with the edge, and need not to make the ring element distortion or make page bending.
Expect that also the distance D 1 between the end 127 of ring element 125 is enough little, move the loose-leaf page from a ring element to another ring element so that the user can pass gap 135 expediently.The distance D 1 that is between the end 127 of ring element of deformation-free open position can change according to the size of ring 123.Generally speaking, the gap 135 between the end 127 of ring element is then bigger for bigger ring, for then less than circlet.Distance D 1 is usually between about 10mm and about 45mm.For example, distance D 1 between the end 127 of the ring element of opening 125 is suitably selected from the group of following formation: (1) is not more than at diameter under the situation of ring element of about 1 inch (perhaps having the loose-leaf hold facility that is equal under the situation at non-circular ring), between about 10mm and about 30mm; (2) under the situation of diameter (perhaps has the loose-leaf hold facility that is equal to) under the situation at non-circular ring in about 1.0 inches to 1.5 inches scope ring, between about 13mm and about 35mm; (3) under the situation of diameter (perhaps has the loose-leaf hold facility that is equal to) under the situation at non-circular ring in about 1.5 inches to 2.0 inches scope ring, between about 16mm and about 40mm; And (4) are under the situation of diameter greater than about 2 inches ring, between about 20mm and about 45mm.
At least one elastically deformable that each encircles in 123 the ring element 125 moves to closing position (Fig. 1) so that will encircle from open position (Fig. 7).Respectively encircle each ring element 125 deformable of 123 as shown in the figure and with respect to body 121 motions, thus between open position and closing position shift(ing) ring.For example, each ring element 125 suitably is configured to, and makes it have the relative flexibility section 133 of the not enough relatively compliant section 131 of end 127 adjacent body 121, that support to extend to ring element.In the embodiment shown, compliant section 133 is relative Boping sections that the sidepiece 147 from body 121 extends and the formation hinge connects (for example " hinges ") between body 121 and relative stiffness section 131 of ring element 125.
The flexibility of the section 131,133 of ring element 125 can be controlled by the size and dimension in the cross section of extension between body 121 and end 127 that changes ring element 125.As shown in the figure, the compliant section 133 of ring element 125 comprises attenuation portion, this attenuation portion its thickness T 2 (Fig. 5) of thin position less than the thickness T 1 of body 121.As shown in Figure 6, compliant section is associated with arc (arch) recess, and this arc-shaped notch produces the attenuation speed that reduces near producing attenuation speed faster and the part with minimum thickness at compliant section near the rigid section 131.
As shown in Figure 6, each attenuation portion can be associated with the arc-shaped notch of attenuation portion above and below.Attenuation portion also can be associated with single arc-shaped notch.For example, compliant section can have the single arc-shaped notch that is in attenuation subordinate side, makes that the top of attenuation portion is concordant with the upper surface of body, as shown in Figure 6A.Can expect to make the upper surface of compliant section concordant, to reduce the risk that the loose-leaf page can be stuck or tear when the inner surface along ring slides with the upper surface of body.Should be appreciated that, describe and illustrated arc-shaped notch is a kind of mode that obtains relative flexibility attenuation ring portion that other modes that produce flexible ring member part also within the scope of the invention here.Should also be understood that the flexible portion that needn't need arc-shaped notch 137 to produce ring element.
The cross sectional shape of each ring element 125 is substantially invariable along most of at least length of relative stiffness section 131.Especially, what each ring element 125 had the periphery that has continuously smooth shown in Fig. 5 A along certain arc length (for example has substantially invariable cross sectional shape, substantially circular, oval, avette) section, this arc length for 1 inch ring at least about 25mm, for 1.5 inches rings at least about 35mm, for 2 inches rings at least about 48mm, for 3 inches rings at least about 74mm.The inventor is definite, uses an almost circular cross sectional shape to make us expecting for the long relatively section of each ring element 125, because this shape minimizes surface area, and has limited the heat during the forming processes and the loss of pressure.This when allow reducing the phase required time weekly of injection molding apparatus, the convenient production of high-quality parts.In addition, because cross sectional shape is level and smooth incessantly (for example, circular substantially) around its periphery, so, cross sectional shape can not increase wearing and tearing or damage the limit or the angle of the loose-leaf page at the loose-leaf page when moving along ring 123, allows paper to move more smoothly along ring.The part of the contiguous compliant section 133 of relative stiffness section 131 carries out the transition to step by step and smoothly the shape of the flexible portion of ring section from almost circular cross sectional shape.
In order to make ring element 125 move to closing position, ring element as illustrated in fig. 9 strain with form closed hoop (for example, by inwardly relatively crooked end 127 (Fig. 9 (a)) until engaged at end or overlapping (Fig. 9 (b))).By the ring element 125 among the ring element in the comparison diagram 8 (open position) 125 and Fig. 5 (closing position), can notice that the bending of ring element 125 concentrates on the relative thin of the compliant section 133 of ring element 125 and partly locates.When being in the close position (Fig. 9 (c)), ring element 125 is by the inner elastomeric restoring force bias voltage in it, thereby moves to open position.
Maintenance system 161 (Fig. 5 and Fig. 7-9) can operate with the bias voltage that overcomes the elastic restoring force in the ring element and optionally and releasedly ring element 125 be remained on closing position.In the embodiment shown, maintenance system 161 comprises the structure 163 on the end 127b of a ring element 125b, it operationally engages with structure 165 on the end 127a of another ring element 125a, makes the relative motion of leaving closing position between the end 127 of structure 163,165 limit collar members 125.As shown in the figure, for example, first structure 163 suitably is included in the post that extends from end 127b on the direction of the longitudinal axis that is roughly parallel to body 121, second structure 165 is included in and runs through the hole that end 127a extends on the direction of the longitudinal axis that is roughly parallel to body, and this post is caught in this hole releasedly when this post inserts in this hole.
In order to make ring move to closing position, ring element is deformed so that make the end 127 of relative ring element enter the position that overlaps each other, and makes that the post 163 on first end 127b aligns with the hole 165 in the 127a of the other end, shown in Fig. 9 (b).Then, end 127 motion that makes ring element with on the direction substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of body 121 with in post 163 patchholes 165.Post 163 and hole 165 have suitable size and dimension, make that the frictional force between post and the hole can stop post to be deviate from from the hole.For example, can limiting hole 165 and the size of post 163 and tolerance make and produce interference fit.As long as post remains in the hole, the joint between the edge in post 163 and hole 165 will hinder the ring element motion that the end 127 of ring element is separated.
The end 127 of ring element 125 also forms and makes that the opposite face 171 of two opposite end portions is concordant each other basically, and any gap between the opposite face of ring element all minimizes, and is stuck in chance in the maintenance system with the restriction loose-leaf page from ring element page when another ring element motion.In addition, the minimum clearance between ring element, the cross sectional shape of the intersection of the end 127 of the ring element 125 that is in the close position (Fig. 5 B) is along its periphery level and smooth continuously (for example, circular substantially).The cross sectional shape (Fig. 5 B) of the total end 127 of the ring element 125 that is in the close position in addition, is similar with the cross sectional shape (Fig. 5 A) along the section with constant cross sectional shape of each ring element.In the embodiment shown, the whole cross sectional shape of closed ring is from the relative stiffness section 131a of a ring element 125a, through overlapping end 127 and maintenance system 161, until the relative stiffness section 131b of relative ring element 125b is constant basically.
In order to open ring, the longitudinal axis that makes the end 127 of ring element 125 be basically parallel to body 121 moves (Fig. 9 (d)) away from each other so that post 163 is deviate from from hole 165, and makes the end 127 of ring element disconnect connection each other., the end 127 of ring element 125 connects the elastic restoring force in the ring element and/or in case disconnecting by just ring element is moved back their open position of the power that the user applies.Owing to need the end 127 of ring element 125 to be disconnected connection each other along the power of the longitudinal axis effect that is basically parallel to body 121, maintenance system 161 prevent the ring 123 that causes owing to power that the loose-leaf page of being held by environmental protection applies be not intended to open.On ring, apply power sometimes by the weight of encircling the 123 loose-leaf pages that keep, draw one or more ring elements 125 towards open position radially outwardly.The inventor has realized that the power that can draw back the end 127 of ring element in the weight of the loose-leaf pages that unlikely take place between the daily operating period of ring mechanism 105 to be kept by ring 123 on the direction of the longitudinal axis that apply the body 121 that trends towards being basically parallel to ring mechanism on the ring.For example, the weight of the loose-leaf page unlikely be applied on the end 127 of a ring element 125 be held with end at another ring element or under the situation about being pulled on vertically opposite vertically on this end of tractive.On the contrary, any longitudinal force that is applied to the end 127 of ring element 125 by the weight of the loose-leaf page also can be applied to the end of another ring element probably, and trends towards the end of shift(ing) ring member conjointly, makes their keep connecting rather than being separated from each other.Therefore, maintenance system 161 can advantageously be designed to allow the user that attempts to open ring 123 with relatively little trying hard to be, simultaneously to since the ring that the weight of the loose-leaf page of being held by environmental protection causes be not intended to open the resistance that provides very big.
Figure 11-15 shows second embodiment of annular mechanism for loose-leaf binder 205.Except that specifying, this embodiment with as mentioned above and similar substantially at the embodiment 105 shown in Fig. 1-10.As shown in figure 13, the body 221 of this circular loose-leaf binder has the integral thickness T3 greater than the integral thickness T1 of above-mentioned body.In addition, body 221 also has top 255 and the downward sidepiece 257 that extends from this top.Body 221 is also strengthened (Figure 12) with rib 275.Especially, body 221 has a vertical rib 277 that extends along the central axis of body.Vertical rib 277 extends between two relative nose circles 243 of body 221 always.Body 221 also is included in a series of cross ribs 279 that extend between the sidepiece 257 of body and be basically perpendicular to vertical rib 277.Each ring 223 for to constitute with above-mentioned ring 123 essentially identical modes is being provided with cross rib 279 along body shaft to being positioned at the same position place.As shown in the figure, also along body shaft to being provided with cross rib 279 in (for example, the midpoint between each ring) between each ring 223.The rib 277,279 and the sidepiece 257 of body 221 provide the firmer structure that is suitable for using, and wherein, this firmer structure is more satisfactory than the augmented performance by thinner body generation of above-mentioned annular mechanism for loose-leaf binder 105.The structure with ribbing of body 221 is also than the needed material use of the solid construction body with same intensity material still less.
