Definitions

  • This invention relates to a file or holder useful for storing magazines, paperback books, and the like and it particularly relates to such a file which stores a pre-selected number of magazines, such as a twelve-month supply, and which generally is of the cut corner type so the magazines are readily reviewable without actually removing the magazines from the file and also accessible.
  • the file comprises or includes a unitarily or single formed and foldable member which defines the file, the foldable member having an erected position to receive and store the magazines and having a flattened position for storing the unused file, the formed and foldable member, in the erected position, including a bottom wall, upright side walls extending upwarding from the bottom wall, upright end walls interconnecting the side walls, and an open top portion, one of the walls being discontinuous and including unitary locking elements for locking the walls in the upright position and being constructed and arranged to receive the magazine through the open top portion, said locking elements being unlockable and the magazines being reviewable and conveniently removable when stored in the file when the foldable member is in the erected position and, in the flattened position, the foldable member having its side wall portions selectively substantially co-planar or adjacent each other in a top to bottom relationship, and said foldable member being constructed and arranged to be readily stored in the flattened position when
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 our improved holder assembly, generally 10, is pictorally illustrated.
  • the holder 10 is shown with a collection of magazines M or the like being stored therein.
  • the holder 10 is shown storing a collection of magazines, it is to be understood that the holder 10 may be utilized for storing a wide range of similar materials, including soft cover books, manuscripts, prints, and the like.
  • the holder 10 is particularly constructed and arranged to store a selected number of magazines, such as magazines published over a year. Many people and institutions, such as schools and libraries, collect and store periodicals and journals for a wide variety of purposes, both for collecting and for educational purposes. Because of the durability of the holder 10, the holder 10 is particularly useful for storing documents and books that are frequently used, such as for library use.
  • the holder 10 is formed of a planar sheet plastic, preferably polypropylene, of a known type and utilizes thermo-forming techniques in manufacture. Since polypropylene is known to have unique properties enabling there to be selected hinging action between adjacent rigid parts of the same formed unitary sheet or blank, generally 12, polypropylene is highly preferred over other materials which, conceivably, could be used. For example, other plastics or possibly cardboard could be used to make the holder; however, cardboard is commonly used in other holders known in the prior art is not considered to be highly durable.
  • a known property of polypropylene provides a "living hinge” that accomplishes the desired hinging action between the adjacent rigid or semi-rigid portions of the unitarily formed blank 12, which is specifically constructed and arranged to be erected into the holder assembly 10 as seen in FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • the blank 12 is illustrated in FIGURE 4, is substantially planar and generally includes a first side wall 14, a second side wall 16, and a rear end wall 18.
  • the rear wall 18 is hingedly interconnected to the side wall 14 by a continuous corner hinge section 20 and is hingedly interconnected to the side wall 16 by a similarly unitarily formed corner hinge section 22. Both of the hinges 20 and 22 extend for the entire length of the adjacent edges of the side walls 14 and 16 and end wall 18.
  • the holder blank 12 further includes a first bottom section 24 which is hingedly connected to the lower or bottom edge of the first side wall 14 along a unitarily formed hinge section 26.
  • a second bottom section 28 is hingedly interconnected to the bottom edge of the second side wall 16 along a continuous hinge section 30.
  • the second bottom section 28 includes a tab 32 which projects laterally from the rear edge thereof, along a hinge section 36.
  • a central slot 38 is provided along the hinge line of the hinge section 36 and is sized and arranged to receive a projecting tongue or tab 40 which is centrally located and projects downwardly from the bottom edge of the end wall 18 and is hingedly connected thereto along a hinge section 42.
  • a front wall, generally 44, is provided on the holder 10.
  • the front wall 44 is not continous as are the first and second side walls 14 and 16 and end or rear wall 18.
  • the front wall 44 is constructed from portions unitarily formed on the side walls 14 and 16 and second bottom section 28 and will be hereinafter described in greater detail.
  • the first side wall 14 has a locking flange 46 hingedly interconnected thereto along a hinge section 48 at the front end thereof.
  • the hinge section 48 is unitarily formed between the side wall 14 and the flange 46.
  • the flange 46 includes an upwardly opening locking slot 50 and an outer tab 52 of reduced height relative to the overall height of the locking flange 46.
  • a locking flange 54 also projects outwardly from the forward edge of the second side wall 16 and is hingedly interconnected thereto along a hinge section 56.
  • the flange 54 includes a downwardly opening locking slot 58 and an outer tab 60 of reduced height relative to the flange 54.
  • the slots 58 and 50 are adapted to be moved into slidable, locking interrelationship in order to lock the flanges 46 and 54 to each other when the holder 10 is in the erected position.
  • the second bottom section 28 further includes an exterior wall or face 62 which is hingedly connected to the bottom wall section 28 along a hinge section 64.
  • An outer tab 65 is hingedly connected to the wall 62 along a hinge section 66.
  • each of the side walls 14 and 16 includes a downwardly tapering upper and outer corner or edge 68.
  • this arrangement provides a "cut corner" for the file and facilitates handling of the magazines M, that is, placement and removal thereof to and from the holder 10.
  • titles, particularly those appearing along the edges can sometimes be more readily seen because the front edges of the side walls 14 and 16 and the front wall 44 of the holder 10 are of substantially reduced height relative to the rear wall or end wall 18.
  • multiple continuous grooves 70 are spaced inwardly from the outer edges of the perimeter of both the side walls 14 and 16.
  • the rear end wall 18 includes an upper substantially rectangular groove 72 and a lower groove 74. Spaces defined within the groove 72 and 74 provide a convenient location for labels or the like describing the contents of the holder 10.
  • FIGURE 3 In order to form the holder 10, that is, from the blank 12, reference is directed to FIGURE 3.
  • side walls 14 and 16 are hinged or pivoted inwardly towards each other, about the hinge sections 20 and 22 interconnecting the rear wall 18 with the side walls 14 and 16.
  • the bottom wall section 24 is pivoted about the hinge line 26 and the bottom wall section 28 is pivoted about the hinge 30.
  • the exterior wall 62 is pivoted about the hinge line 64 and locking flange 46 is pivoted about the hinge section 48 which interconnects it to the side wall 16.
  • the locking flange 54 is pivoted about the hinge section 56.
  • the direction of each pivot action is generally indicated by the arrows shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the holder 10 has an erected or useful position, as seen in FIGURES 1 and 2 and a flattened position as seen in FIGURE 4.
  • FIGURE 5 it is seen that the blank 12 may be be stored in a flattened, but folded position.
  • the walls 14, 16, 18, 24, and 28 may be selectively entirely co-planar with each other, as seen in FIGURE 4, or positioned in a top to bottom relationship when in the stored or folded down position.
  • the ability to be folded down into a flat position is of great convenience for shipping and storage purposes as the holder 10 may be readily erected by the user.
  • the user may readily form the holder 10 into the useful position shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 in order to store the magazines M and the like.
  • the holder 10 When in the useful position, the holder 10 is highly durable and is capable of receiving a multiple number of magazines M or the like therein.
  • the polypropylene material forming the holder 10 is very durable and is not highly subject to creasing or the like.
