Abstract

1. A marking rider for fitting over the front or rear cover of a suspended documents file, which cover has the thickness of only a single layer of cardboard, as well as over the thicker rear fold of the file, which rider has a head containing a pocket (1) for accomodating a marking strip, and a clamping base (2) with two limbs (21, 22), the front limb (21) of which base forms an extension of the front plate (11) of the pocket (1), which itself has an upper and a lower rear wall part (12, 13), said rider having, in the zone between the limbs (21, 22), a downwardly open channel (27), the opening of which channel is adjoined by a widened portion (24) of the gap between the two limbus (21, 22) which bear resiliently against each other at their free ends, characterized in that the rear limb of the clamping face (2) comprises, in its upper zone, a U-shaped loop (23), which forms the channel (27) and whose front flank, connected to the front limb (21), also forms the rear wall part (13) of the pocket (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kennzeichnungsreiter zum Aufstecken sowohl auf den Rand eines nur eine einfache Kartonstärke aufweisenden Vorder- oder Rückendeckels als auch auf den eine grössere Dicke aufweisenden Rückenfalz eines Hängehefters der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Gattung.The invention relates to a marking tab for attaching both to the edge of a front or back cover that has only a simple cardboard thickness and to the larger thickness of the back fold of a hanging file of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist ein Kennzeichnungsreiter dieser Art bekannt (DE-A 2 050 756), der ein H-förmiges Grundprofil aufweist, an dessen mittleren Quersteg sowohl die nach oben weisenden vorderen und hinteren Wandteile der Tasche als auch die nach unten weisenden vorderen und hinteren Schenkel des Klemmfusses angeformt sind. Die nach unten offene Nut, die zur Aufnahme der Kante eines nur einfache Kartonstärke aufweisenden Vorder- oder Rückendeckels bestimmt ist, ist dort unmittelbar in den Quersteg eingeformt. Sie erhöht zwar die elastische Spreizbarkeit der in der Nähe ihrer Wurzel dickwandig ausgebildeten Klemmschenkel. Aufgrund der abrupten Querschnittsabnahme innerhalb der Nut besteht aber die Gefahr, dass beim Überspreizen der Schenkel an dieser Stelle die Elastizitätsgrenze des Materials überschritten wird und die Klemmkraft des Reiters beim Gebrauch nachlässt.A marking tab of this type is known (DE-A 2 050 756), which has an H-shaped basic profile, on the central crosspiece of which both the front and rear wall parts of the bag pointing upwards and the front and rear legs of the pocket pointing downwards Clamping feet are molded. The groove, which is open at the bottom and is intended for receiving the edge of a front or back cover that is only of simple cardboard thickness, is formed there directly in the crosspiece. Although it increases the elastic spreadability of the thick-walled clamping legs in the vicinity of their roots. However, due to the abrupt decrease in cross-section within the groove, there is a risk that when the legs are spread out at this point the elastic limit of the material will be exceeded and the rider's clamping force will decrease when in use.

Weiter ist es bei einem Kennzeichnungsreiter an sich bekannt (DE-OS 2 808 482), am vorderen Schenkel des Klemmfusses Sicken oder Nocken vorzusehen, die entsprechende, am Falz des Hängehefters oder an dessen vorderer Randkante vorgesehene Ausnehmungen einrasten, so dass ein unbeabsichtiges seitliches Verschieben des Reiters vermieden und über die Klemmwirkung der Schenkel hinaus eine sichere Verrastung des Reiters am Falz oder auch der Randkante eines Hängehefters gewährleistet wird. Da diese Nocken bei dem bekannten Reiter unterhalb der freien Längskante des zusätzlichen Zwischensteges angeordnet sind, bereitet das Aufstecken dieses Reiters auf einen nur Kartonstärke aufweisenden Rand Schwierigkeiten, da diese Nocken den Einschub der Randkante in die vordere, durch den Zwischensteg und den vorderen Schenkel gebildete Tasche blockieren und beim gewaltsamen Einschieben des Randstreifens zu dessen Beschädigung führen.Furthermore, it is known per se from a marking tab (DE-OS 2 808 482) to provide beads or cams on the front leg of the clamping foot, which engage corresponding recesses provided on the fold of the hanging file or on its front edge, so that an unintentional lateral displacement Avoid the rider and beyond the clamping action of the legs, a secure locking of the rider on the fold or the edge of a hanging file is guaranteed. Since these cams are arranged below the free longitudinal edge of the additional intermediate web in the known rider, it is difficult to attach this rider to an edge which is only cardboard thick, since these cams insert the edge into the front pocket formed by the intermediate web and the front leg block and cause damage if the edge strip is pushed in.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kennzeichnungsreiter der genannten Gattung so auszubilden, dass ein genügend weites Aufspreizen des Klemmfusses ohne die Gefahr einer bleibenden Verformung möglich und dennoch eine ausreichende Klemmwirkung gewährleistet ist.The invention is based on the object of designing a marking tab of the type mentioned in such a way that a sufficiently wide spreading of the clamping foot is possible without the risk of permanent deformation and yet a sufficient clamping effect is ensured.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird die in Patentanspruch 1 angegebene Merkmalskombination vorgeschlagen. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.To achieve this object, the combination of features specified in claim 1 is proposed. Further advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemässen Kennzeichnungsreiters bestehen insbesondere in einer Erhöhungder elastischen Abspreizfähigkeit des hinteren Schenkels des Klemmfusses, wodurch ein Aufsetzen des Reiters sowohl auf dünne als auch dicke Ränder wesentlich erleichtert wird. Die gemäss einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung am vorderen Schenkel des Klemmfusses angebrachten Nocken können sicher zum Eingriff mit entsprechenden Aussparungen an den Randstreifen gebracht werden.The advantages of the marking tab according to the invention are, in particular, an increase in the elastic spreading ability of the rear leg of the clamping foot, as a result of which mounting the tab on both thin and thick edges is made considerably easier. The cams attached to the front leg of the clamping foot according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention can be brought securely into engagement with corresponding cutouts on the edge strips.

Abgesehen von dem Wegfall eines zusätzlichen Zwischensteges und der Notwendigkeit zweier Verrastungssysteme besteht ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Kennzeichnungsreiters darin, dass der hintere Schenkel des Klemmfusses seiner Formgebung weitere Funktionen erfüllt. Er bildet nicht nur die rückwärtige Begrenzung des unteren Teils der den Kennzeichnungsstreifen aufnehmenden Tasche, sondern mittels der U-förmig ausgebildeten Schleife eine den Randstreifen des Hefters aufnehmende Tasche und darüber hinaus im Bereich der Abstandsverbreitung der beiden Schenkel einen Anschlag für den infolge derAufnahme einerAufhängeschiene dickeren Rückfalz eines Hängehefters.Apart from the omission of an additional intermediate web and the need for two latching systems, a further advantage of the marking tab according to the invention is that the rear leg of the clamping foot fulfills its functions in terms of its shape. It not only forms the rear boundary of the lower part of the pocket receiving the identification strip, but also, by means of the U-shaped loop, a pocket receiving the edge strip of the stapler and, in addition, in the area where the two legs are spaced apart, a stop for the thicker rebate due to the inclusion of a hanging rail a hanging file.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemässen Kennzeichnungsreiters in schematischer Weise dargestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen senkrechten Schnitt durch den Kennzeichnungsreiter;
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf die Vorderseite des Kennzeichnungsreiters in verkleinertem Massstab.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the marking tab according to the invention is shown in a schematic manner. Show it:
  • 1 shows a vertical section through the marking tab.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the front of the labeling tab on a reduced scale.

Der Kennzeichnungsreiter weist in seinem Kopf eine Einschiebetasche 1 auf, die durch eine Vorderplatte 11 und zwei rückseitige Abbiegungen 12 und 13 gebildet wird, von denen die obere Abbiegung 12 etwas länger ausgebildet ist und federnd gegen die Vorderplatte 11 anliegt. Die untere, wesentlich kürzere Abbiegung 13 bildet mit der Vorderplatte 11 einen Spalt 14 mit konstanter Breite, in den ein Kennzeichnungsstreifen leicht seitlich eingeschoben werden kann , wenn die obere Abbiegung 12 etwas abgespreizt wird. Da ein einzuschiebender Kennzeichnungsstreifen von der unteren Abbiegun g 13 nicht geklemmt wird, liegt er sicher gegen die Sohle 15 des Spaltes 14an und wird von deroberenAbbiegung 12 auch dann zuverlässig gehalten, wenn er nicht die gesamte Höhe der Tasche 1 aufweist.The identification tab has an insert pocket 1 in its head, which is formed by a front plate 11 and two rear bends 12 and 13, of which the upper bend 12 is somewhat longer and resiliently rests against the front plate 11. The lower, much shorter turn 13 forms with the front plate 11 a gap 14 with a constant width into which a marking strip can be easily inserted laterally when the upper turn 12 is slightly spread apart. Since an identification strip to be inserted is not pinched by the lower bend 13, it lies securely against the sole 15 of the gap 14 and is reliably held by the upper bend 12 even if it does not have the entire height of the pocket 1.

Der Klemmfuss 2 des Reiters besteht aus dem vorderen dickeren Schenkel 21 und dem hinteren dünneren und längeren Schenkel 22. Dadurch, dass die Wurzel des hinteren Schenkels sich nicht auf der Höhe der Sohle 15 der Einschiebetasche befindet, dieser Schenkel vielmehr eine um die Länge der U-förmigen Schleife 23 vergrösserte Länge aufweist, wird eine weiche Federung dieses Schenkels gewährleistet, so dass das Aufstecken des Reiters erleichtert und der meist eine Perforierung aufweisende Rand eines Kartons geschont wird. Der engere, durch die U-förmige Schleife 23 gebildete Spalt 27 nimmt den Randstreifen eines Kartons auf, während die Kante eines dickeren, durch einen Falz gegebenenfalls mit eingeschobener Hängeschiene gebildeten Randstreifens gegen die Abbiegung 24 des Schenkels 22 anliegt. Im bereich der Abbiegung 24 weist der vordere Schenkel 21 eine ebene Rückseite auf. Statt der Abbiegung 24 kann zur Bildung der Abstandsverbreiterung zwischen den beiden Schenkein 21, 22 auch eine nicht dargestellte Aussparung im vorderen Schenkel 21 bei gleichzeitig ebener Erstreckung des hinteren Schenkels 22 vorgesehen werden.The clamping foot 2 of the rider consists of the front thicker leg 21 and the rear thinner and longer leg 22. Because the root of the rear leg is not at the level of the sole 15 of the insert pocket, this leg rather one around the length of the U. -shaped loop 23 has increased length, a soft suspension of this leg is ensured, so that the rider is easier to put on and the edge of a carton, which usually has a perforation, is protected. The narrower gap 27 formed by the U-shaped loop 23 receives the edge strip of a carton, while the edge of a thicker edge strip, which is formed by a fold, optionally with an inserted hanging rail, bears against the bend 24 of the leg 22. In the area of the bend 24, the front leg 21 has a flat back. Instead of the bend 24 can be used to form the widening of the distance between the two legs no 21, 22 also a recess, not shown, can be provided in the front leg 21 with a flat extension of the rear leg 22.

Eine sichere Verankerung des Reiters wird durch die am vorderen Schenkel 21 vorgesehenen Sicken oder Nocken 25 gewährleistet, die durch die Perforation des Randstreifens hindurchgreifend in die durch Aussparungen 26 gebildeten Rasten des Schenkels 22 eingreifen. Diese Verrastung ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch noch verbessert, dass die Innenflächen des vorderen Schenkels 21 an dessen freien Ende eine Abschrägung 28 in Richtung auf die vordere Fläche dieses Schenkels aufweist.Secure anchoring of the rider is ensured by the beads or cams 25 provided on the front leg 21, which engage through the perforation of the edge strip and engage in the catches of the leg 22 formed by recesses 26. This latching is further improved in the illustrated embodiment in that the inner surfaces of the front leg 21 have a bevel 28 at its free end in the direction of the front surface of this leg.
