Specific embodiment
Referring to accompanying drawing, Fig. 1-13 shows the embodiment for being generally designated as 101 annular mechanism for loose-leaf binder of the invention. In Fig. 1, mechanism 101 is arranged on notebook cover 103.Particularly, spine 105 of the mechanism 101 adjacent to notebook cover 103 Install.Spine 105 is being hingedly connected to extension between the front cover 107 of spine 105 and rear front cover 109.Front cover 107 and rear envelope The removable loose leaf paper optionally to cover or expose the holding of mechanism 101 in face 109(It is not shown).It is otherwise mounted to pen Remember this front cover(For example, on spine)Or the substrate beyond notebook cover(For example, file, briefcase etc.)On annular loose-leaf Clamp mechanism does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
As shown in Fig. 2-6, mechanism 101 includes the multiple rings of support(Each ring is generally designated as 113)Elongate housing 111.The side that shell 111 also has raised flat central plateau 117 and the opposite flank from plateau downwards and extends laterally outward Face 119.The side 119 of shell is substantially parallel to one another.Plateau 117 and side 119 give shell roughly arced cross sectional shape. The glacing flatness on plateau 117 and side 119 form the arced cross sectional shape and angle arc-shaped of the shell 111 of segmentation.However, should manage Solution, within the scope of this invention, the side of shell and central top smoother can bend.In the embodiment described in which, shell 111 First longitudinal direction end 121 it is normally open, and the second opposite longitudinal end 123 is normally closed.Lower curved edge 125 is along shell 111 The outward flange Longitudinal extending of side 119.The mechanism of the variform shell with the shell 111 shown in shape and accompanying drawing exists In the scope of the present invention.
Ring 113 is used to loose leaf paper to be maintained in notebook 103 on ring mechanism 101.The ring mechanism 101 shown in accompanying drawing has There are three rings 113.However, the quantity of ring can change within the scope of this invention.The ring 113 shown in accompanying drawing is substantially mutually the same And each is typically circle.As Fig. 1-6 shows, each ring 113 includes two ring elements 133(It is sometimes referred to as and specified It is 133a and 133b representing the specific ring element in a pair of ring elements).Ring element 133 is suitably by with circular cross section The suitable material of shape(For example, steel)Conventional cylindrical bar formed.With being formed by different materials or have varying cross-section Shape(For example, elliptical cross sectional shape)The annular mechanism for loose-leaf binder of ring element do not depart from the scope of the present invention.It is shown Embodiment in ring element 133 be usually semicircle so that ring 113 have it is general round-shaped, but of the invention In scope, ring can have non-circular shape.In addition, one in ring element can have different shape with another, such as in D-shaped In the case of shape ring and other asymmetric rings.
At least one of ring element 133a of each ring 113 can closed relative to shell 111 and relative ring element 133b Close position(Fig. 2)And open position(Fig. 4)Between move.In the ring mechanism 101 being shown in the drawings, two ring element 133a, 133b is each moved with substantially similar manner relative to shell 111, and with opening and close ring 113, but this is not practice It is essential to the invention.For example, within the scope of this invention, one in the ring element of each ring can be fixed to shell.Closing Close position(Fig. 2), ring element 133 forms the ring of substantially continuous closure, to allow the loose leaf paper of the holding of ring 113 along ring from Ring element moves on to another ring element.In open position(Fig. 4), ring element 133 formed discontinuously, open ring, to add work Page paper takes out loose leaf paper from ring 113.
Ring mechanism 101 includes two essentially identical articulated slabs 127 of support ring element 133.Articulated slab 127 is each typically Elongated, flat and rectangular shaped, and the length of each is more slightly shorter than the length of shell 111.Articulated slab 127 is along in them Longitudinal edge is with the interconnection that be arranged in parallel(As Fig. 3 and 5 shows), so as to form the central hinge 145 with pivotal axis.This is with ability Known usual manner is suitably carried out in domain.The outer longitudinal edge of articulated slab 127 is received within by the lower bending of shell 111 In the groove that edge 125 is formed, so as to be supported on the articulated slab pivoted in shell.As Fig. 6 shows that ring element 133a, 133b are each It is arranged in articulated slab 127 in respective articulated slab 127 from general relative mode.Ring element 133 along shell 111 side 119 extend through respective opening 155 so that when ring 113 is closed, the free end of ring element is engaged with each other above shell. Ring element 133 is rigidly connected to articulated slab 127 and is moved with articulated slab when articulated slab is pivoted.In the annular loose-leaf shown in accompanying drawing In clamp mechanism 101, two ring elements 133 of each ring 113 are installed and cause the ring element 133 from the upper surface of articulated slab 127 Extend.However, one of them or more ring element is installed causes that they extend from the lower surface of articulated slab(For example, as jointly It is disclosed in the US publication application No.20080008519 for possessing)Mechanism also within the scope of this invention.
Articulated slab 127 can be downward relative to shell 111 on central hinge 145 and be pivoted up, and is mounted above with Ring element 133 move between the closed position and the open position.When articulated slab 127 is pivoted downwards(That is, central hinge 145 is moved Move away from shell 111)When, ring element 133 is closed.When articulated slab 127 is pivoted up(That is, central hinge axle 145 is moved towards outer Shell 111)When, ring element 133 is opened.When articulated slab is in co-planar locations, the combined width of articulated slab 127 is than under shell 111 Interval between curved edge 125 is wide.Therefore, when articulated slab 127 is pivoted through co-planar locations, articulated slab becomes shell 111 Shape simultaneously produces spring force in shell.When articulated slab 127 is in closing position, the shell spring force bias He of articulated slab 127 To remain closed, and when articulated slab is in open position, shell spring force biases articulated slab and ring to stay open ring 113.
User can relative to shell 111 move actuator 115 so that articulated slab 127 against from shell 111 being used to beat Open and the spring force of close ring 113 is pivoted motion.Actuator 115 can wherein ring element 133 in closing position One position(Fig. 9 and 10)The wherein second place of the ring element in open position(Figure 11)Between rotate.
In the embodiment described in which, actuator 115 is installed with lever mount 171(Fig. 6)On carried out relative to shell Pivoting action between the opened and the closed positions, lever mount 171 is individually formed from shell 111 and is fixed to the shell (For example, by one or more rivets or other suitable fasteners).Lever mount 171 includes being arranged on shell plateau In the plate 175 opened on end 121 of shell 111 on 117 tops.Lever mount 171 also has the opposite flank from plate 175 logical The slit 179 crossed on the end 121 of shell extends into the arm 177 of shell 111.Actuator 115 is by extend through actuating The trunnion 181 of device is pivotally attached to lever mount, and is kept by the arm of lever mount.Therefore, actuator 115 around with pin 181 pivotal axis for overlapping are pivoted.Lever mount 171 does not extend longitudinally beyond the opening end 121 of shell 111.Also, when ring closure When, the relative small portion of only actuator 115 extends longitudinally beyond the opening end 121 of shell 111.It is outer including to be mounted directly to Shell and without using single lever mount other install actuators mode without departing from the scope.
Referring now to Fig. 8-11, actuator 115 has main body 201 and the closure arm 203 extended from main body.Closure arm 203 sets Put with the pivot articulated slab 127 when actuator moves on to closing position from open position and ring 113 is moved on to closing position.Actuator 115 also have and extend from main body 201 and sets with the pivot articulated slab 127 when actuator moves on to open position from closing position simultaneously Ring 113 is moved on to the opening arms 205 of open position.As Figure 10 and 11 shows that closure arm 203 and opening arms 205 are formed and wherein connect Receive articulated slab 127 end passage 207.Handle 211 extends from the main body 201 of actuator 115, with promote user open and Mobile actuator between closing position.Within the scope of this invention, the handle of actuator can have many different shapes.
The end of articulated slab 127 is received in passage 207 so that closure arm 203 is above the end of articulated slab and opens Arm 205 is below the end of articulated slab.Each articulated slab 127 has Longitudinal extending towards the relative of the opening end 121 of shell 111 Narrow finger 141(Fig. 6).The respective width of finger 141 is narrower than respective articulated slab 127, and setting causes theirs Interior longitudinal edge substantially aligns with the interior longitudinal edge and central hinge 145 of articulated slab.When actuator 115 is moved on to from closing position During open position, opening arms 205 applies upward power to the finger 141 of articulated slab, and the upward power is upward central hinge 145 Pivot to open ring 113.Equally, when actuator moves on to closing position from open position, closure arm 203 applies downward force to finger Shape part 141, the downward force downwards pivots central hinge 145 with close ring 113.
Except opening and closing ring 113 as described above, actuator 115 is also suitable for when actuator is in its opening and closing position Locking member 221 in latched position when being moved between putting(Figure 10)And non-locked position(Figure 11)Between move, so as to open With close ring 113.In latched position, locking member 221 prevents ring 113 by preventing the pivoting action of articulated slab 127 from closing Close position and move on to open position.In non-locked position, locking member 221 does not prevent articulated slab 127 and ring 113 from being moved from closing position To open position.
As Fig. 7 and 8 shows that locking member 221 is three essentially identical lockings on the lock part 223 of mobile bar 225 Element(Each is designated as 221)In one, mobile bar 225 is in shell 111 on the plateau 117 of articulated slab 127 and shell Between Longitudinal extending.The quantity of locking member can change without departing from the scope of the invention.Locking member 221 is along shifting The lock part 223 of lever 225 is longitudinally spaced to open, and one of locking member is each adjacent to the lock part 223 of mobile bar Longitudinal end, and a locking member is towards the centrally disposed of the lock part of mobile bar.Locking member 221 is from mobile bar 225 Lock part 223 is protruded towards articulated slab 127.As Fig. 7-11 shows, each locking member 221 includes flat 271, preceding hypotenuse 273 and rear extension 275.The hypotenuse 273 of locking member 221 engageable articulated slab 127 and contributes to downward pivot during closing The central hinge 145 of turning hinge fishplate bar.In the embodiment described in which, locking member 221 for example by injection moulding process come with mobile bar 225 are integrally formed into a strip material.But, without departing from the scope of the invention, locking member can be with mobile bar point Open form into and be connected to mobile bar.In addition, having for example block(For example, without hypotenuse)Locking member of different shapes in this hair In bright scope.Mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 can be loosely referred to as " locking system ".
Otch 129(Fig. 3 and 6)Formed in each articulated slab 127 along the inward flange of plate.As best shown in Figure 3, each Otch 129 in indivedual articulated slabs 127 is alignd, and five openings are formed with the central hinge 145 along interconnection articulated slab(Also referred to as 129).Mounting post 151 is by an opening 129 in the articulated slab 127 at the opening end 121 of shell 111.Other openings Three central hinge axles 145 along the articulated slab 127 near locking member 221 in 129 are axially arranged.Especially in fact, opening 129 are set so that when mobile bar 225 is in non-locked position(Fig. 5 and 11)When opening 129 registered with locking member 221, and so that When mobile bar is in latched position(Fig. 3,9 and 10)When opening 129 with locking member non-registration.As Fig. 9 and 10 shows, work as mobile bar 225 in latched position, the upper surface of the articulated slab 127 on the edge of the flat 271 engagement opening 129 of locking member 221, from And prevent articulated slab from being pivoted motion towards their open position.As shown, although the movement including locking member 221 The part of bar 225 can extend across the opening 129 in articulated slab 127, but mobile bar is between articulated slab 127 and shell 111 The continuous Longitudinal extending between the opposite longitudinal end of mobile bar in space.
The intermediate connector part 227 of mobile bar 225(Fig. 6 and 7)The lock part 223 of mobile bar is connected to actuator 115.The intermediate connector 227 of mobile bar 225 is by permission connector part relative to the hinge 229 that lock part moves pivotally (For example, hinges)Lock part 223 is suitably connected to, to promote can be by actuator 115 to be rotated including certain Mode is converted into the linear movement of the lock part of mobile bar come the motion of the connector part for driving.For example because hinge builds Into one section of the thickness mobile bar smaller than connector part 227, hinge 229 suitably has the connector portion than mobile bar 225 Divide 227 big flexibilities.Recognize, in wide in range scope of the invention, it is not necessary to the lock part of mobile bar and connecting portion / chain connection.
Referring to Fig. 6,10 and 11, the end of the connector part 227 of the mobile bar 225 relative with hinge 229 is in shell Open end 121.The end of connector part 227 has along shell 111 towards the arm 231 for opening the Longitudinal extending of end 121 and in shifting The end of lever 225 and the cross-bar 233 for extending between the arms.Cross-bar 233 is captured by actuator 115 so that actuator exists The movement of mobile generation between open and closed positions in the cross-bar 233 of the end of mobile bar 225.
Referring to Fig. 8, there are the slit or recess 255 that can wherein capture in the cross-bar 233 of the end of mobile bar 225.Institute State in embodiment, recess 255 is between closure arm 203 and handle 211.When the cross-bar 233 of mobile bar 225 is by actuator 115 in recess 255 when capturing, and cross-bar extends to the opposite side of actuator through recess from the side of actuator.Recess 255 Part limited with conforming generally to the concave surface 265 of the shape of cross-bar 233 by shaping, with promote cross-bar during opening against Concave surface.Another part of recess is limited by shaping with conforming generally to the concave surface 251 of the shape of cross-bar 233, to promote cross-bar Against the surface during closing.
Mobile bar 225 and actuator 115 are adjusted and cause that cross-bar 233 can be by along one during the assembling of ring mechanism 101 As perpendicular to cross-bar longitudinal axis direction(For example, as indicated by arrow in Fig. 8, it is general downward)Moved relative to actuator Cross-bar and rapidly enter recess 255.This is probably favourable, because it promotes to use mobile bar 225, wherein cross-bar 233 One piece is integrally formed into the remainder of connector part 227.This is also likely to be favourable, because need not be various assemblies With other component Accurate aligns and accurately insert the component, if the assembling of mobile bar and actuator needs pin or other are thin Long structure is longitudinally inserted into the opening with the structure that will be inserted about same size, then be exactly that situation mentioned above. Which simplify the assembling of ring mechanism 101.
It is contemplated that whole actuator 115(Except the unshowned all or part of optional pad for covering handle 211) It is integrally formed into one piece(For example, being made up of elastic moldable polymer material).However, actuator 115 can by other materials or Formed using other processes in the scope of the present invention.For example, by being formed separately and assembling to produce the component system of actuator Into actuator within the scope of this invention.Ring mechanism with shape with variform actuator illustrated and described herein The scope of the present invention is not departed from.
Mobile bar includes the cam 281 that can be moved with the remainder of mobile bar 225.In the embodiment described in which, it is convex Wheel 281 is that the hangnail of in otch 129 is extended downwardly through in articulated slab 127 from mobile bar 225.As shown in Figure 10 and 11 Go out, when mobile bar 225, articulated slab 127, ring 113 and actuator 115 are in closing position, cam 281 has in opening 129 Cam face 283 on edge 285.For example, in the embodiment described in which, cam face 283 is in opening near actuator 115 On the edge 285 of mouth 129.Cam face 283 is suitably the inclined surface for being generally directed toward actuator 115.Inclined cam surface It is suitably orientated to extend downwardly when cam face extends outwardly away from mobile bar 225 and towards actuator 115.As shown, it is convex Wheel surface 283 when ring mechanism 101 is closed suitable for keeping being contacted with the articulated slab 127 on the edge 285 of opening 129.Because Cam 281 is contacted with the articulated slab 127 on the edge 285 of opening 129 and translating cam will need to carry out more towards actuator 115 The pivoting action of articulated slab 127, so the spring force from shell 111 is sent to cam from articulated slab, is closing with when ring Stop that cam shifts to actuator when closing position.In addition, the spring force from shell 111 suitably by mobile bar 225 from convex Wheel 281 is sent to actuator 115, and closing position of the device at it is remained actuated with when closing position of the ring 113 at them.Institute State in embodiment, cam 281 is suitable to move on to their open position and beating from them from their closing position when ring 113 Keep being contacted with the continuous of the articulated slab 127 on the edge 285 of opening 129 when open position moves on to their closing position.However, It should be understood that there may be gap sometimes between articulated slab on the edge of cam and opening(For example, when ring is in closing position), Without departing from wide in range scope of the invention.
Cam 281 is provided to assist in pivoting articulated slab 127 during ring 113 is opened.For example, cam 281 is suitably set So that the open position that actuator 115 shifts to it from its closing position make cam face 283 push up in articulated slab 127 to It is few one(For example, as shown in Figure 12, two articulated slabs), and the opening arms 205 of actuator also due to the rotation of actuator and Press upwards at least one of articulated slab, thus the cam face of cam and actuator opening arms cooperation drive articulated slab from Their closing position moves pivotally against the spring force of shell 111 to open ring 113.Referring to the line of force that Figure 12 includes Figure, cam face 285 applies perpendicular to its power FN with the contact surface of the upturned edge 285 of mobile bar split shed 129.Normal force FN includes the component F 1 for working in a longitudinal direction and the component F 2 for working in vertical direction.Vertical force F2 helps beating The pivoting action of articulated slab 127 is driven during opening.
Cam 281 is also configured to contribute to that mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 are moved into their lock during close ring Positioning is put, but regardless of being to come close ring or user simply the ring ring element of one or more rings using actuator 115 133a, 133b are pushed together and are carried out close ring.For example, cam 281 and articulated slab 127 suitably set cause articulated slab from they Open position is pivotally moved to their closing position makes Figure 13 such as show at least one of articulated slab(For example, two are hinged Plate)Cam face 283 is pushed, and applying tends to vertically move mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 enters away from actuator 115 Enter the power of latched position to cam.Referring to the force diagram on Figure 13, articulated slab 127 applies the power FN of vertical direction in articulated slab And the contact surface between the cam face 283 on the edge 285 of articulated slab split shed 127.Power FN includes rising in a longitudinal direction The component F 1 of effect and the component F 2 for working in vertical direction.Longitudinal force F1 helps drive mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 latched positions for moving on to them.
Because the cam face 283 in the embodiment for showing is set with when mobile bar 225 is closed in latched position and ring 113 Keep being contacted with the continuous of the articulated slab 127 on the edge 285 of opening 129 during conjunction, so cam 281 sets to require to work as ring Mobile bar 225 and locking member whole process move on to their latched position during 113 closure.Articulated slab 127 can not possibly be moved on to them Closing position without mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 are also moved on to latched position.Pass through mobile ring element in user In the case that 133a, 133b close the ring with close ring 113, cam 281 and articulated slab 127 are configured with to mobile bar 225 Apply to make them move on to latched position and also actuator 115 is withdrawn into the power of its closing position with locking member(On Figure 13 F1).In the case where user's revolving actuator 115 is with close ring 113, mechanism 101 adjusts and causes that actuator also pushes movement The end of bar 225, so actuator and articulated slab cooperation drive mobile bar and locking member to shift to latched position.So, cam As long as 281 are suitable to by ensuring that mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 are moved on to latched position when ring is closed is done to ensure that ring It is just automatic and reliably lock during 113 closure.
Opening and closing ring mechanism 101 ring 113 method an embodiment in, user actuator 115 from Its closing position is rotated towards its open position.Therefore, during the opening arms 205 of actuator 115 presses upwards on articulated slab 127 At least one(For example, two articulated slabs)Lower surface and start to pivot articulated slab against the spring force from shell 111. Meanwhile, the cyclovergence of actuator 115 in shell 111 in longitudinally pulling mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 and thereon Cam 281 is towards actuator.The cam face 283 of cam 281 also pushes up hinge on the edge 285 of articulated slab split shed 129 At least one of fishplate bar 127(For example, two articulated slabs), to help the open motion for driving articulated slab.If user is in hinge Fishplate bar 127 is by discharging actuator 115 before their co-planar locations, then the spring force from shell 111 drives and is hinged Plate 127 move pivotally back their closing position and articulated slab by cam 281 drive mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 it is complete Journey moves pivotally back their latched position.Once the co-planar locations that articulated slab 127 passes through them during opening, then come from The direction of the spring force of shell 111 is inverted and articulated slab 127 is pivoted to their open position.If present user's release Actuator 115, then articulated slab 127 continues to be pivoted to open position until ring 113 is opened due to shell spring force, and to The closure arm 203 of upper pushes actuator is rotating to actuator its open position.When this occurs, actuator 115 mobile bars 225, locking member 221 and cams 281 move their open position to.
For close ring 113, user can be used actuator 115 or two ring elements 133a, 133b simply shifted onto one Rise.If user uses actuator 115, then actuator is just rotated towards its closing position from its open position.This makes Closure arm 203 pushes down at least one of articulated slab 127(For example, two articulated slabs)Upper surface and start pivot and be hinged Plate is towards their closing position with against the spring force of shell 111.This also makes actuator 115 longitudinally be pushed away in shell 111 Dynamic mobile bar and locking member 221 and cam thereon 281 are away from actuator towards their latched position.Once articulated slab 127 co-planar locations for being pivoted through them, the direction of shell spring force just inverts and shell 111 drives articulated slab 127 to pivot Move to their closing position.As described above, when articulated slab 127 moves on to closing position, they are by cam 281 mobile Bar 225 and locking member 221 are driven into their latched position.
On the other hand, if user is only compressed to close ring of coming together by ring element 133a, 133b, then in transmission Under the influence of power by ring element 133, articulated slab 127 starts to pivot court from open position against the spring force from shell To closing position.Articulated slab 127 pushes the cam face 283 of cam and zigzag tread patterns mobile bar 225 and locking unit in shell Part 221 is away from actuator.The end for being connected to the mobile bar 225 of actuator 115 pulls to actuator its closing position.Once By co-planar locations, the direction of shell spring force just inverts articulated slab 127, and articulated slab moves on to their closing position simultaneously Mobile bar 225 and locking member 221 are driven into as described above by cam 281 their latched position.Therefore, no matter user Select which kind of method carrys out close ring 113, ring 113 is all automatic by cam 281 and reliably locks.
