The invention relates to a book-like container for storing documents, files, brochures Od. Like., which consists of an upright, open along the upper edge flat container with a book-like Back is made.

It is known to use an upright flat container to store documents, which is open at the top and at the upper edges of both side walls from the front end to the rear end wall runs inclined so that the documents, z. B. file covers, for easier grasp at the rear The end of the container protrudes upwards from the container. It is also known to have a top open container for storing documents in an outer container open to the rear with a book-like Insert the back and hold the two containers together in the insertion position by means of a lock to secure.

It is also known to provide filing folders with a book-like spine so that they can be put down look like books in a library. After all, it is known to be box-like made of cardboard Manufactured slide-in boxes for a card index on their front, held together by adhesive strips, open insertion edge with a reinforcing frame made of sheet metal of U-shaped Equip cross-section that encompasses the entire opening edge of the box outside and inside and is secured against loosening by spring-loaded tongues and approaches engaging behind them.

The invention is based on the object of providing a book-like container for storing documents to train that it is composed of a few flat parts at the place of use, if necessary can be taken apart again and despite thin-walled manufacture from cardboard or cardboard in the area its book-like spine has a high level of stability and also with incomplete filling against Compression when grasping and secured against deformation by the clamping pressure of a row of books is.

This object is achieved in that the vertical main walls on the front The end of the container has a series of axially aligned holes parallel to its vertical front edges have that a frame-like reinforcement insert with fitting into the holes, protruding outward Pin and a shell-like flat part forming the back of the container is provided, its angled Edges overlap the front end of the container and are directed inwardly against the container walls Have approaches which - in joint-

assembled condition of the parts - the pegs located in their area on their protruding from the holes Engage behind the ends in a springy manner.

The drawing shows an example of the implementation of the book-like container according to the invention, namely shows

F i g. 1 the individual parts forming the container prior to assembly in a diagrammatic representation,

F i g. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the container after assembly of the parts and

F i g. 3 shows a horizontal section through the back of the container at the level of the line 3-3 according to FIG. 2.

According to FIG. 1, the container consists essentially of three parts, namely the narrow, thin-walled box 10, a reinforcing insert 20 for the back of the container and a shell-like flat part 23 which forms the back of the container.

The box 10 can be made of cardboard, cardboard or the like and has two vertical main walls 11 and 12 which are connected at the bottom by a floor 13, at the rear by an end wall 14 and at the front end 15 by an end wall 16.

At the front end, the main walls 11 and 12 are each provided with a series of axially aligned holes 18.

The reinforcement insert 20 is frame-shaped and has a row of outwardly projecting pins 21 on each of its two longitudinal edges, which are likewise aligned coaxially in pairs, fit into the holes 18 and out of the holes

still protrude slightly when the reinforcement insert is inserted into the front end of the box 10 is. This is from FIG. 3 can be seen.

The shell-like container back 23 has an angled edge which is formed by two longitudinal walls 24, 25 and two transverse walls 26, 27 which enclose the back surface 28. The two longitudinal walls 24 and 25 are provided at corresponding points on their inner surfaces with inwardly protruding lugs 29 which each engage behind one of the pins 21 located in their area with a snap action when the container back 23 is pushed onto the front end wall 16 of the box.

The reinforcement insert 20 encloses with its frame 30 a somewhat thinner inner surface 31 and can additionally each have a vertical pin 32 at its upper and lower ends, of which the lower pin into an associated hole 33 of a lower folding flap 34 which is to be folded inwards of the box fits. The shell-like container back 23 is on its outer surface according to FIG. 2 according to Art a book spine with leather, artificial leather or the like. Clad and embossed, so that several side by side standing containers give the impression of a row of well-bound books.

The main walls 11 and 12 of the box 10 run from front to back at their upper edges inclined to have files in the box. Od. Like. Can better grasp at the rear end. To the Forming the bottom surface 13 of the box is its main wall 11 with a folding flap 35, its main wall 12 is provided with a folding flap 36, each of which is of different widths halfway along its length, so that the wider parts grip behind each other approximately in the longitudinal center of the floor area and with the longitudinal edges on the less wide, underlying surfaces. prop up. In this design, the floor withstands a load pressure acting from above. If necessary, the surfaces of the folding flaps 35 and 36 lying on top of one another can also be connected to one another be glued or glued. The folding flap located on the lower edge of the front end wall 16 34 is folded inwards horizontally, as indicated by an arrow, and can also be glued to the flaps 35 and 36 underneath in the swiveled-in position or glued.

In the area of the rear end wall 14 of the box, the main wall U has a folding flap 37, which extends to the vertical end edge 38, while the box wall 12 at the rear edge a has corresponding folding flap 39. Both folding flaps 37 and 39 overlap by a considerable amount Part of their surfaces and can also be glued to the adjacent surfaces or be glued.

Of course, the front wall 16 of the box 10 can be omitted. The main walls 11 and 12 could then be related to an undivided floor area 13. The rear end wall 14 could then either related to one of the main walls 11 or 12 and engage behind the other main wall, or it could be related to the floor area and the folding flaps on both sides Main walls 11 and 12 reach behind.
