Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding clamp for fastening the binding prongs of a binder having flexible binding prongs, which is adapted to slide in a rail-shaped member of substantially U-shaped cross-section, provided with openings for the passage of the binding prongs, said sliding clamp comprising a first elongate portion adapted to slide in the rail-shaped member.
  • Such a sliding clamp is known from US patent 3,080,562 and GB-A-1417580.
  • the known binder comprises an approximately U-shaped rail having two parallel legs linking up with a bottom portion, said legs being inwardly bent at the free edges.
  • the bottom portion contains openings at an interspace corresponding with the distance between the flexible binding prongs, so that the prongs can extend through said openings.
  • at least one sliding clamp is provided that is adapted to slide between the legs of the U-shaped rail and which is fitted with a slot at the end facing the bottom of the U-shaped rail. When inserting the sliding clamp, this butts against a binding prong, which is thereby pushed against the bottom of the U-shaped rail and which, upon subsequent sliding movement, is received in the slot.
  • a drawback going with the prior art sliding clamp is that it can be easily pulled out of the rail unintentionally.
  • this drawback was eliminated by providing the sliding clamp adjacent the front portion of the slot with a shorter slot closed at the front by an intermediate piece.
  • the binding prongs can now extend both through the openings in the rail and through the slot in the sliding clamp, while the intermediate piece at the front end of the sliding clamp prevents the same from being pushed out of the rail entirely.
  • a drawback going with these two sliding clamps described is that when they are installed, the binding prong has to be bent by a force acting just beside a supporting point of the prong, viz. the edge of the opening in the rail.
  • the bending of the prongs thus takes place heavily and with the risk that material is stripped off the prongs, so that the prongs are weakened and may break eventually, resulting in seizure of the sliding clamp.
  • a sliding damp of the above described type is characterized in that the first elongate portion is fitted with a passage for a binding prong; that a second portion is pivotally connected to the first portion adapted for pivotal movement transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first portion to cover said passage, having cam means for locking said second portion in a swing down position wherein the binding prong is bent and damped.
  • Fig. 1 shows a prior art sliding clamp 1 adapted to slide between the flanges 2 of a rail-shaped member 3.
  • the rail-shaped member has an approximately U-shaped cross-section, while the upright legs of the U-shape each have an inwardly bent flange 4.
  • the bottom 5 of the U-shape contains a plurality of openings, one of which is shown at 6, through which a flexible binding prong 7 can be inserted.
  • the sliding clamp itself has an elongate, substantially rectangular body 8 adapted to slide with lateral flanges 9 just in the rail-shaped member 3.
  • the body 8 is designed in such a manner that in the operating condition a binding prong can lie in a space provided between the bottom of the rail-shaped member 3 and the underside of the body 8. The prong is then bent through about 90° in the place where the prong extends through the opening in the bottom of the rail-shaped member.
  • a thickened portion 10 serving as a stop, as a handle and as a suspension member for the binder.
  • a slot 11 in registry with the position of the binding prong, said slot being shut off at the front by an intermediate piece 12.
  • said intermediate piece is located beyond the binding prong and the prong extends partly through the slot 11 over the intermediate piece 12. Therefore, the sliding clamp cannot be easily pulled out of the rail, even if the slot 11 is located above the opening 6.
  • Figs. 2-4 show an embodiment of a sliding clamp according to the invention.
  • Said sliding clamp again comprises a stop 20, likewise functioning as a handle and as a suspension member.
  • An elongate body 24 is pivotally connected at 25 to the stop 20.
  • said elongate body 24 has been omitted for the sake of clarity, but in Fig. 4 it is shown separately.
  • the elongate body preferably is integral with the frame-shaped portion, which can be realized in a simple manner with a synthetic plastics design.
  • the pivot indicated at 25 can be formed by reducing the thickness of the material locally.
  • the width B of the elongate body 24 is such that it fits between the longitudinal legs of the frame-shaped portion.
  • the elongate portion is provided at the stop-averted free end with a slot 26, thereby forming two legs 27 that are slightly resilient. At the free ends of the legs 27, there are formed laterally projecting cams 28, which correspond with the recesses 23 in the legs 21 of the frame-shaped portion.
  • two projections 29 are formed at the top of the resilient legs 27 by means of which the legs can be manually bent slightly towards each other.
  • the binding prong can be clamped by folding down the elongate member 24, as indicated by an arrow 30 in Fig. 3.
  • the legs 27 are then manually bent slightly towards each other by means of the projections 29, so that the cams 28 can pass the flanges 4 and fall into the recesses 23.
  • the binding prong is then gradually bent at a force exerted at a considerable distance from the rail-shaped member, thus minimizing wear and facilitating the operation.
  • the elongate pivoting portion 24 is also provided with a groove 31 facing the rail-shaped member, said slot leading into the slot 26 and being adapted to receive the binding prong in operating condition.
  • the pivoting elongate portion 24 enables to release or to fasten the binding prongs without the necessity of displacing the sliding clamp.
