Description

The invention relates to a file system for receiving loose or stapled documents and a briefcase for such a map system according to the preamble of the protection claim. 3

Briefcases for holding loose or stapled documents with one or more storage compartments are for example in the DE4128371A1 . DE4201907C1 . DE20104706U1 . US9296247B2 . US6808104B2 . US4932683A . US5598969A and in the US6666610B1 shown. A disadvantage of the known multipart systems is a predetermined number of storage compartments.

The object of the invention is to provide a map system in which individual receiving compartments can be added and removed at will, each receiving compartment retains its actual recording function.

This object is achieved by a map system with the features of the protection claim 1 and by a briefcase with the features of the protection claim. 3

An inventive folder system for receiving loose or stapled documents has at least two briefcases, each having a lid and a back. The lid and the back are each folded together and form in the folded state on the inside a lying between them receiving compartment for the documents. The one briefcase is externally detachable connected to the other briefcases.

The invention provides a modular file system whose number of subjects can be expanded or reduced as desired. Each briefcase or individual folder retains its actual recording function and can therefore be used individually.

Preferably, in the assembled state, the respective receiving briefcase with its lid or back limits the receiving compartment of the recorded briefcase. By this measure, the handling of the map system is simplified because the user does not get the impression that he holds several individual folders in his hand, but only a briefcase with multiple compartments.

A briefcase according to the invention for receiving loose or stapled documents has a lid and a back, which are connected to each other in a collapsible manner via a connecting portion. In the folded state, the lid and the back form on the inside a receiving compartment for the documents lying between them. According to the briefcase on the outside has a holding device which is adapted to hold another briefcase with her lid or her back.

The briefcase invention allows the formation of the modular map system. It is thus almost an expandable single folder. It can be designed in any shape, size and design.

The assembly of individual briefcases to the folder system is particularly simple if the holding device is a back slot. Of course, other manifestations of the holding device are conceivable as Velcro.

In a preferred embodiment, the holding device is a rear pocket which is open in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion and close to the connecting portion. The bag allows the insertion of the recorded briefcase with its lid. The bag extends over the entire surface or almost the entire surface over the back of the rear wall and thus allows a reliable frictional engagement. On the other hand, the bag is not visible in normal use of the briefcase.

Characterized in that the pocket is open in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion and near the connecting portion, the additional receiving compartments are oriented like the original receiving compartment.

In an alternative embodiment, the retainer is a strap or strap that extends parallel to the connecting portion and is connected at its end sides to the spine. Preferably, the belt or the band is arranged on or near the connection portion.

From insertion view, it is advantageous if the bag has a greater extension along a folding axis than the lid. This allows for easy insertion and prevents damage to the lid during insertion.

In addition, the insertion of the respective briefcase into the holding device or pocket can be further simplified in that the lid has rounded or bevelled corners.

Preferably, the holder is in the holding device via friction. Due to the frictional connection, a simple and rapid expansion of the number of subjects is made possible by a further briefcase or a corresponding reduction.

A preferred briefcase is a folded or glued paper or cardboard bag with a back pocket.

It is favorable in terms of device technology if the pocket is a folded-over extension of the back which is glued to the back at two opposite edge regions.

Other advantageous embodiments are the subject of further subclaims.

• 1 eine Rückansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Aktenmappe,
• 2 das Zusammensetzen von zwei Aktenmappen aus 1 zu einem erfindungsgemäßen Mappensystem,
• 3 ein erfindungsgemäßes Mappensystem mit zwei Aktenmappen aus 1.

In the following, a preferred embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to greatly simplified schematic illustrations. These show:

• 1 a rear view of a briefcase according to the invention,
• 2 assembling two folders 1 to a folder system according to the invention,
• 3 an inventive file system with two folders 1 ,

1 shows an external view of a briefcase according to the invention 1 for holding loose or stapled documents. The briefcase 1 has a lid 2 and a back 4 , which have a hinged connection section 6 hinged to each other. The connecting section 6 defines a folding axis z , Preferably, the briefcase is 1 a folded or glued paper or cardboard bag.

The lid 2 and the back 4 limit in the folded state with their opposite inner sides of a receiving compartment 8th to record the document. The briefcase is angular and corresponds, for example, almost the DIN A4 format. corners 12 . 14 of the lid 2 are rounded. For damage-free recording such Schriftguts are the lid 2 and back 4 slightly larger than the actual DIN A4 format. It can be designed in any shape (square, round, etc.), size (DIN A3, A4, letter, etc.) and design (color, pattern, etc.).

According to the briefcase 1 on the back, that is on an outer surface of the back 4 , a holding device, which in the preferred embodiment shown here as an insert in the form of a bag 16 to form one in the 2 and 3 still illustrated inventive map system 18 is trained.

The pocket 16 extends over the entire outer surface of the back 4 , It is along the entire connecting section 6 opened and according to the orientation in the 1 higher than the lid 2 , The lid 2 thus has a smaller extension along the folding axis z as the bag 16 , Preferably, the bag is 16 integral with the back 4 connected and on the opposite edge areas 20 . 22 with back 4 bonded. From the manufacturing point of view, the bag represents 16 an extension of the back 4 which is flipped and according to the orientation in the 1 up and down with the back 4 is glued.

As in the 2 and 3 shown, the map system according to the invention 18 at least two briefcases according to the invention 1 . 1a on. The folder system 18 allows any extension of the briefcase 1 to another storage compartment 8a , For this is or is the second briefcase 1a with her lid 2a in the pocket 16 the first briefcase 1 pushed. The rounded corners of the lid 1a (please refer 1 , Reference number 12 . 14 ) facilitate the insertion into the bag 16 , The recorded briefcase 1a is or is up to their connection section 6a in the pocket 16 introduced so that in the inserted state both connecting sections 6 . 6a on the folding axis z lie.

The holder in the bag 16 takes place via friction between inner surfaces of the bag 16 and opposite lid surfaces. Because the second briefcase 1a outside on her back 4a also a back pocket 16a can, the map system 18 gradually to further storage compartments 8th . 8a be supplemented.

In other words, disclosed are a briefcase or individual folder or folder for receiving loose or stapled documents in which, for example, by a folded and glued tab, on an outside, preferably a rear outside, the folder a device for receiving another Folder lid and thus an extension of the folder by additional subjects arises in which the inserted in the back of the folder front of the following folder each results in another subject, as well as a map system or a portfolio. The cover / front of the folder has a lower height than its back with the tab / receiver so that it fits easily when expanding the compartments. Furthermore, the corners of the lid may be rounded or chamfered to allow a smoother pick-up. The insertion of a new folder creates a new compartment. The invention solves the problem of a fixed, predetermined number of subjects of commercially available folders. Furthermore, the contents can be modularly used, transported and reassembled by removing the single folder from the extended portfolio. Also, through the modular system various regulatory and filing systems are applied and developed therefrom. The expandable wallet can be designed in all shapes, sizes and designs.
