Abstract

To facilitate the dispatch and storage of the filing and indexing aids, primarily for documents of DIN A4 format and to increase the possibility of combining them with one another, three folding blanks (folding box, large drawer and small drawer) are provided with press stud mechanisms which combine the advantages of stability with collapsing which is possible at any time without difficulty and, by means of the appropriate mounting of the press stud mechanisms, allow vertical and horizontal linking-together in different variations: With the opening of the folding box located at the front both in a vertical and in a horizontal position, in the latter case without or with drawers and, again in the latter case, either with one large drawer (for formats up to DIN A4) or with one or two small drawers (for DIN A5); with the opening of the folding box located at the top, linking-together on the narrow side walls or on the broad front/rear walls; insert in the hanging devices of suspended indexing systems; possibility of combining different ways of linking-together in one structure.

Description

The invention relates to a variable arrangement of three Folded cuts made of cardboard, cardboard, corrugated cardboard or plastic in uncoated, coated, foil-sealed or soaked version, which is riveted with the help Snap fasteners universal and for shipping or the Storage as many times as possible form.

The classification system consists of the individual parts
Folding box
large drawer
small drawer
and is described in detail as follows:

1.Folded cut: folding box ( Fig. 1 and 1.1):

The invention relates to a cardboard folding box, Cardboard, corrugated cardboard or plastic with four to a box tube over fold lines and a sidewall width Adhesive tab connected walls, namely a front wall, a rear wall, the left side wall, with the inside Adhesive tab is connected and the right side wall, which has an engagement hole.

The four walls each have hinged bottom locking tabs on. The locking tabs on the two side walls have the same width on the hinged side like the side wall and have a square shape. Extend the locking tabs on the front or rear wall each also over the entire length. In the Width, on the other hand, corresponds to the width of the side walls. The closure is done by first the two Sealing flaps of the side walls folded inwards will. Then the locking tab is behind the back wall folded inside and finally the locking tab of the  Front wall.

Previously, the cover will be on the inside of the Double-sided adhesive tape attached to the front wall removed, leaving the second adhesive layer free. These is pressed by pressing the outside of the front wall Locking tab on the outside of the rear wall Locking tab pressed open, creating a reasonably stable connection is established, which at the same time after gives a flat floor inside and outside, because the last pressed front wall locking tab over the entire length and width of the floor is sufficient.

However, this configuration is only heat-resistant to a limited extent and especially not reversible.

There is a glued-together folding box on the heater and / or it is subjected to one-sided tension or pressure, so the adhesive connection can shift. Becomes the folding box is no longer needed, so you can only use it Violence is unfolded, whereby the adhesive strip is destroyed is and there is a risk that the folding box tears or breaks.

Other versions have instead of this bottom closure a folding, folding or plug-in mechanism. All of these mechanics have the advantage that they have no additional Need adhesive closure and unfolded again at any time can be, but have the disadvantage that they - before especially if the cassette is unfilled and therefore none Can exert pressure on the bottom fold - no level Have floor space and usually also inside due to sloping tab ends, sometimes considerable Show unevenness or only with a correspondingly small amount Strength and stability of the material used can be carried out.

In contrast, the invention is based on the object Benefits of preserving all bottom closure systems Avoiding their disadvantages, i.e. the task that Not only easy to assemble and dismantle the folding box can, but at the same time a largely flat floor space  to achieve both in their effect down / outside as well as their effect upwards / inwards.

The solution is that although the shape of the first described adhesive bottom closure selected, the function of the double self-adhesive strip but with a snap fastener is replaced.

For this purpose, a push-button ball part ( Fig. 1a) is riveted into the four corners of the rear wall locking tab, which points outwards when the rear wall locking tab is folded inwards. A push-button spring part is congruently riveted into the four corners of the front wall locking tab ( Fig. 1b) so that when the front wall locking tab is folded inwards, its spring part accommodates the corresponding spherical part of the rear wall locking tab.

The two side wall locking tabs cover the rivet back parts the rear wall locking tab in the inside of the Folding box opposite the items to be stored (for example, setting folders) from.

In this way it is achieved that the folding box is arbitrary often (for shipping and storage when not in use) can be assembled and disassembled at lightning speed without damaging them.

Such folding boxes are used as collection containers for folders used, which in turn the unstitched storage allow documents.

The invention, which now opens up additional uses of the folding box according to its main claim, further consists in riveting two snap button spring parts on the front of the folding box ( Fig. 1c) and two snap button ball parts on the back of the folding box in parallel spacing ( Fig . 1d).

In this way, a horizontal concatenation is arbitrarily allows many cartons, wherein the single folding box has with the open side towards the front and on one of the two side walls is (Fig. 4.1), which therefore now forms the bottom, while the other side wall is the ceiling. By snapping the spring or spherical parts riveted to the front or rear walls (the designation front or rear wall refers here to the position of the folding box in its "normal state" as a collecting container for setting folders according to Figs. 1 and 1.1) This creates a stable fan for holding books, records, booklets and magazines. This fanning can be adapted to any shelf or footprint within the scope of the width of the individual side wall (again based on the designation in Fig. 1 and 1.1).

Mutual stabilization by snapping the Push buttons save additional stabilization systems such as Bookends, stabilizing wings or magazine collectors.

However, the invention also allows the folding box to be stacked vertically, with the single folding box pointing forward with the open side and standing on the front wall, which is equipped with the spring parts of the push button. The front wall now forms the floor. The back wall (the designation front and back wall here again refers to the designation in Figs. 1 and 1.1) with the spherical parts now forms the ceiling. The front wall of the next folding box lying above it can now be placed on it and the spring parts thereof pressed together with the spherical parts of the folding box below. This connects the two push buttons. The two folding boxes now firmly on top of each other can no longer slide against each other ( Fig. 4.2).

Due to the arrangement of the push buttons exactly in the middle between the lower and upper edge of the front or rear wall (see Fig. 1 and 1.1), the vertical stacking can also be set up rotated by 180 ° to allow access from two sides. This is useful if the folding boxes have to be used as storage from two sides. The irregular structure, which is adapted to the respective requirements, is also possible in that, in the case of a tower of, for example, 4 folding boxes, 3 have an opening on one side and only 1 on the other side.

2. Folding cut. Large drawer ( Fig. 2 and 4.2)

The vertical stacking of the folding boxes looks next to the Use for the direct recording of loose documents, lying books, magazines and other Objects also to accommodate drawers. These Drawers are either made of cardboard, Cardboard, corrugated, or plastic are offered because of their folding mechanism only from thin, relatively flexible materials can be produced or as glued, stapled and / or riveted or cast stable boxes, that are not deployed for transportation or storage can.

The invention has for its object the drawer to be improved so that it can be used for shipping and / or the storage can be unfolded in the assembled state but has the required stability.

The solution is that a two-dimensional fold cut made of stable material with riveted snap fasteners Ball parts or push button spring parts in such a way is provided that their corresponding assembly results in a stable box that can be loosened at any time the push button connections again to a stable two-dimensional folding blank can be unfolded.

According to Fig. 2 and 4.2, the folding blank has a base area that is slightly larger than the A4 format. The side parts articulated on the narrow sides have a width which corresponds to the inner width of the side wall of the folding box set up with the opening facing forward, less a "sliding margin" of approximately one to two millimeters. The side parts articulated on the narrow side point forward and backward over the base in a length that corresponds approximately to their own width (see Fig. 2). These two corner parts are also articulated on the side part, so that when the side parts of the narrow sides are set up they each form the overlapping corner connections to the side parts articulated on the long sides, the side part articulated to the rear on the long side having the same width as the side parts on the narrow sides, while the side part attached to the front long side has twice the width and is divided in the middle by a folding groove. In the middle of this double wide articulated side part there is a punched-out circle which interrupts the folding groove along the length of its diameter and thus in that the part of the front side part adjoining the long side of the base surface goes up, the adjoining, outer part again is folded down, forms a semicircular engagement, with the help of which the drawer can be pulled out of the folding box ( Fig. 4.2).

The corner connections to the hinges on the long sides Extensions forming the side parts of the Narrow sides hinged side parts point to the two parts protruding beyond the base area each have a push button Ball part, which is arranged so that it Fold the drawer into the appropriate position riveted spring part of the articulated on the long sides Side parts snap into place.

Correspondingly, the outer part is on the long side hinged double side part also on the right and provided on the left with a spring part, which at the two-dimensional arrangement of the flat lying blank points downwards when assembling the drawer but the correspondingly attached spherical parts of the  then erect and folded at an angle of 90 ° the narrow sides of the base articulated side parts snaps into place.

Due to the double width, provided with a folding groove the front long side articulated side part experiences the whole drawer buttoned together one Stiffening which significantly increases its manageability.

3. Folding cut. Small drawer ( Fig. 3 and 4.2):

The small drawer has the same construction principle like the big drawer. It just differs in the format determined by the size of its footprint and therefore also the size of the hinged side parts pretends. The size of the base area results from the fact that two small drawers next to each other in one on the Cassette lying in front and open to the front can be inserted, the drawers each with its narrow side facing forward, while the large one Drawer with its long side facing forward.
