Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mappe zur Unterbringung von Dokumenten oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a folder for storing documents or the like.

Es ist bekannt, zur Unterbringung von Akten oder auch ungelochtem Schriftgut Hängemappen zu verwenden. Diese enthalten aus einem Zuschnitt ein vorderes und ein hinteres Blatt, die entweder im Bereich der Oberkante oder im Bereich der Unterkante miteinander verbunden sind. Sie werden zwischen zwei horizontal mit Abstand verlaufende Schienen eingehängt. Die bekannten Hängemappen enthalten durchgehende metallische Schienen, an deren Enden Haken gebildet sind. Das Befestigen der Zuschnitte an diesen Schienen ist aufwendig. Bei Hängemappen müssen beide Enden des Zuschnitts um je eine Schiene herumgewickelt und verklebt oder vernietet werden. Zum Teil werden die Taschen zum Einschieben der Schienen auch vorher gebildet und die Schienen seitlich eingeschoben.It is known to use hanging files to accommodate files or unpunched documents. These contain a front and a rear sheet from a blank, which are connected to one another either in the area of the upper edge or in the area of the lower edge. They are suspended between two horizontally spaced rails. The known hanging files contain continuous metal rails, at the ends of which hooks are formed. Attaching the blanks to these rails is complex. In hanging files, both ends of the blank must be wrapped around one rail each and glued or riveted. In some cases, the pockets for inserting the rails are formed beforehand and the rails are inserted laterally.

Ebenfalls bekannt ist es, Vorder- und Rückdeckel derart zu falzen, daß eine Einschubtasche für ein Aufhängeglied geschaffen wird, das zusätzlich noch in einen Führungskanal einer Sichtleiste eingesteckt wird (DE-PS 36 39 785).It is also known to fold the front and back covers in such a way that an insertion pocket for a master link is created, which is additionally inserted into a guide channel of a viewing strip (DE-PS 36 39 785).

Weiterhin bekannt sind Gummizugmappen, bei denen an einem Mappendeckel die Enden eines Gummibandes befestigt sind, das bei geschlossener Mappe um den anderen Deckel herumgeführt wird. Dies geschieht meistens im Bereich der Ecken.Also known are elastic folders, in which the ends of a rubber band are fastened to a folder cover, which is guided around the other cover when the folder is closed. This usually happens in the area of the corners.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mappe zu schaffen, die einfach aufgebaut ist und sich mit geringem Aufwand herstellen läßt.The invention has for its object to provide a portfolio that is simple and can be produced with little effort.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Mappe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vor.To achieve this object, the invention proposes a folder with the features of claim 1.

Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further training is the subject of the subclaims.

Als Stegmaterial für die Herstellung der Mappen schlägt die Erfindung beispielsweise mit Vorteil Wellpappe vor, also ein aus wiederverwendbaren Stoffen herstellbares und hergestelltes Material. Es gibt Wellpappe der unterschiedlichsten Abmessungen, auch solche, die relativ dünn ist, so daß sie für Mappen verwendbar ist. Eine derartige Mappe hat den Vorteil, daß sie von sich aus relativ steif ist, so daß sie das unterzubringende Material gut schützen kann.As a web material for the production of the folders, the invention advantageously proposes corrugated cardboard, for example, a material that can be produced and produced from reusable materials. There are corrugated cardboard of various dimensions, including those that are relatively thin, so that it can be used for folders. Such a folder has the advantage that it is inherently relatively stiff so that it can protect the material to be accommodated.

Ebenfalls möglich ist es, ein aus Kunststoff bestehendes Stegmaterial zu verwenden, das ebenfalls zwei durch Stege miteinander verbundene Außenseiten aufweist. Dieses Material kann ebenfalls wieder verwendet werden.It is also possible to use a web material made of plastic, which also has two outer sides connected by webs. This material can also be reused.

Zur Herstellung der Mappe nach der Erfindung ist es nur erforderlich, aus dem gewähltem Material, beispielsweise der Wellpappe, einen Zuschnitt durch einen einzigen Vorgang auszustanzen. Dann werden an den entsprechenden Stellen, also im oberen Bereich, die Einsatzteile eingeschoben.To produce the folder according to the invention, it is only necessary to punch out a blank from the selected material, for example corrugated cardboard, in a single operation. Then the insert parts are inserted in the appropriate places, i.e. in the upper area.

Bei den Einsatzteilen kann es sich um Hakenelemente handeln, die dazu führen, daß die Mappe dann als Hängemappe ausgebildet ist und an den Hakenelementen aufgehängt werden kann.The insert parts can be hook elements which lead to the folder then being designed as a hanging folder and being able to be hung on the hook elements.

Die Einsatzteile können jedoch auch so ausgestaltet sein, daß sie die Festlegung von Vorderdeckel und Rückdeckel aneinander ermöglichen, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Gummizugs. In diesem Fall kann das Einsatzteil ein Loch aufweisen, durch das sich ein Gummiband hindurchstecken und festlegen läßt. Ebenfalls denkbar ist es, ein Einsatzteil so auszubilden, daß es mit Vorsprüngen, Spangen oder auch klappbaren Teilen den jeweils anderen Deckel festlegt. Was im folgenden für die Hakenelemente ausgeführt wird, gilt in gleicher Weise auch für die sonstigen Einsatzteile.However, the insert parts can also be designed in such a way that they enable the front cover and the rear cover to be fixed to one another, for example with the aid of an elastic band. In this case, the insert part can have a hole through which a rubber band can be inserted and fixed. It is also conceivable to design an insert part so that it fixes the other cover with projections, clips or also foldable parts. What is explained below for the hook elements applies in the same way to the other insert parts.

Die Hakenelemente sind jeweils als einstückiges Teil für jede Seite vorgesehen. Das Einstecken kann sehr einfach geschehen, und nach dem Einstecken ist die Hängemappe fertig. Es bedarf keiner zusätzlichen Arbeitsgänge. Die einzusteckenden Haken lassen sich an den dafür vorgesehenen Stellen in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Stegen einschieben. Sie können aber auch an der Seite des Zuschnitts an beliebigen Stellen eingeschoben werden, so daß ein Endbenutzer sich seine Hängemappe auch abändern und umwandeln kann.The hook elements are provided as one piece for each side. It can be inserted very easily, and after inserting the hanging file is ready. No additional work steps are required. The hooks to be inserted can be inserted in the spaces provided between the webs. However, they can also be inserted anywhere along the side of the blank so that an end user can also change and convert their hanging file.

Die Hängemappen können sowohl als Hängetaschen, also mit einer Verbindung der beiden Blätter des Zuschnitts an der Unterseite, als auch als Hängehefter ausgebildet sein, wobei Vorder- und Rückblatt im Bereich der Oberseite miteinander verbunden sind. Es ist sogar möglich, den gleichen Zuschnitt für beide Möglichkeiten zu verwenden. Durch Umsetzen der Hakenelemente kann dies sogar nachträglich geschehen.The hanging folders can be designed both as hanging pockets, ie with a connection of the two sheets of the blank on the underside, and as hanging files, the front and back sheets being connected to one another in the area of the top. It is even possible to use the same cut for both options. By moving the hook elements, this can even be done subsequently.

Die Erfindung schlägt vor, daß die Einsatzteile einstückig aus Kunststoff gespritzt sind.The invention proposes that the insert parts are injection molded in one piece from plastic.

Es ist möglich, an den Einsatzteilen, insbesondere den Hakenelementen einen einzigen Zapfen anzuformen, der in das Steckmaterial eingeschoben wird. Bei ausreichender Länge kann dies durchaus ausreichen. Besonders günstig ist es jedoch, wenn sie zwei oder mehr derartige Zapfen aufweisen. Dann läßt sich die Belastung auf mehrere Stege bzw. Zwischenräume zwischen Stegen verteilen.It is possible to form a single pin on the insert parts, in particular the hook elements, which is inserted into the plug material. If the length is sufficient, this can be sufficient. However, it is particularly favorable if they have two or more such pins. Then the load can be distributed over several webs or spaces between webs.

Aufgrund der Beanspruchung kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß der unterste Zapfen des Einsatzteils der längste ist.Due to the stress, it can be provided according to the invention that the lowest pin of the insert is the longest.

Bei mehreren Zapfen kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß alle Zapfen unterschiedlich große Länge aufweisen, was das Einschieben erleichtern kann.In the case of several pegs, it can be provided according to the invention that all pegs have different lengths, which can facilitate insertion.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, daß die einzelnen Zapfen einen Abstand aufweisen, der mindestens so groß ist, daß zwei benachbarte Zapfen nicht in benachbarte Zwischenräume zwischen zwei Stegen eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Abstand bei mehr als zwei Zapfen zwischen den einzelnen Zapfen unterschiedlich groß ist.According to the invention it can be provided that the individual pegs are at a distance which is at least so large that two adjacent pegs are not inserted into adjacent spaces between two webs. In particular, it can be provided that the distance between the individual pins is different in the case of more than two pins.

Die Erfindung schlägt vor, daß die Dicke der Zapfen kleiner ist als die Dicke des außerhalb des Steckmaterials gelegenen Einsatzteils. Beim Einschieben des Einsatzteils liegt dieser dann an der Hängemappe an einer größeren Fläche an, was die Dauerhaftigkeit und das Aussehen der Hängemappe auch nach längerem Gebrauch positiv beeinflußt.The invention proposes that the thickness of the pin is smaller than the thickness of the insert part located outside the plug material. When inserting the insert, it then lies against the hanging file on a larger surface, which has a positive effect on the durability and the appearance of the hanging file even after prolonged use.

Die Erfindung schlägt ebenfalls ein Hakenelement zur Aufhängung der beschriebenen Hängemappen, ein Einsatzteil für die nicht aufzuhängenden Mappen, sowie die Verwendung dieser Elemente zur Befestigung an Hängemappen bzw. anderen Mappen vor.The invention also proposes a hook element for hanging the hanging folders described, an insert for the folders not to be hung, and the use of these elements for attachment to hanging folders or other folders.

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht einen Zuschnitt zur Bildung einer Hängemappe, die ein Vorderblatt 1 und ein mit diesem über einen Boden 2 verbundenes Rückblatt 3 aufweist. Der Zuschnitt ist so gefaltet, daß Vorderblatt 1 und Rückblatt 3 im wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufen. Im Bereich der oberen Enden von Vorderblatt und Rückblatt enthalten diese seitlich je eine Ausnehmung 4, in denen also die Breite der Hängemappe etwas schmaler ist. In diese Ausnehmungen werden später die Hakenelemente eingesetzt. Der in Fig. 1 perspektivisch dargestellte Zuschnitt ist aus einem Stück Wellpappe ausgestanzt, wobei die Wellpappe so orientiert ist, daß die Stege parallel zu den Knicken 5 zwischen Vorderblatt 1 und Boden 2 bzw. Boden 2 und Rückblatt 3 verlaufen, also anders ausgedrückt, parallel zur Richtung zwischen den beiden Längsschienen, zwischen denen die Hängemappen eingesetzt werden sollen. An den bei den seitlichen Stirnkanten 6 ist das Material der Hängemappe also offen, wie dies die Fig. 3 beispielsweise darstellt.1 shows a perspective view of a blank for forming a hanging file, which has a front sheet 1 and a back sheet 3 connected to it via a base 2. The blank is folded so that front sheet 1 and back sheet 3 are substantially parallel to each other. In the area of the upper ends of the front sheet and the rear sheet, these each contain a recess 4 on the side, in which the width of the hanging file is thus somewhat narrower. The hook elements are later inserted into these recesses. The blank shown in perspective in FIG. 1 is punched out of a piece of corrugated cardboard, the corrugated cardboard being oriented such that the webs run parallel to the creases 5 between front sheet 1 and bottom 2 or bottom 2 and back sheet 3, that is to say in other words, parallel to the direction between the two longitudinal rails between which the suspension files are to be inserted. The material of the hanging file is thus open at the side end edges 6, as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

Eine Faltung des Zuschnitts, wie sie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, wird üblicherweise als Hängemappe bezeichnet, wobei die Erfindung den Ausdruck jedoch in weiterem Sinne verstanden wissen möchte. Wenn die Stirnkanten 6 von Vorderblatt 1 und Rückblatt 3 durch Papierstreifen o.dgl. miteinander verbunden sind, so wird ein derartiger Zuschnitt häufig auch als Hängetasche bezeichnet.A folding of the blank, as shown in FIG. 1, is usually referred to as a hanging file, but the invention would like to have the expression understood in a broader sense. If the front edges 6 of the front sheet 1 and back sheet 3 or the like by paper strips. are interconnected, such a blank is often referred to as a hanging bag.

Vertauscht man dagegen die Ober- und Unterseite des Zuschnitts, so daß Vorderblatt 1 und Rückblatt 3 also im Bereich der Oberseite miteinander verbunden sind, so werden derartige Vorrichtungen als Hängehefter bezeichnet. Es ist bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Zuschnitt selbstverständlich möglich, ihn umzudrehen und die noch zu beschreibenden Hakenelemente dann im Bereich der Oberseite, d.h. also des bisherigen Bodens 2, anzubringen.If, on the other hand, the top and bottom of the blank are interchanged so that the front sheet 1 and the back sheet 3 are connected to one another in the area of the upper side, such devices are referred to as hanging files. It is, of course, possible with the blank shown in Fig. 1 to turn it over and the hook elements still to be described then in the area of the upper side, i.e. So the previous floor 2 to attach.

Die teilweise aufgerissene Ansicht der Fig. 2 zeigt, wie zwischen den Stegen 7 der Wellpappe einzelne kanalartige Zwischenräume 8 gebildet werden. Im Bereich der Ausnehmung 4 ist auf jeder Stirnseite des Zuschnitts im Bereich von deren Oberkante ein Hakenelement 9 eingesetzt. Das Hakenelement 9 enthält einen außerhalb des Zuschnitts angeordneten, nach unten offenen, im wesentlichen U-förmigen Haken 10, der auf eine Schiene aufgesetzt werden kann. An der der Stirnkante 6 des Zuschnitts zugewandten Seite enthält das Hakenelement drei Zapfen 11, die parallel zueinander verlaufen und alle unterschiedliche Länge aufweisen. Der Abstand zwischen den Zapfen 11 ist so, daß jeder Zapfen 11 in einen Zwischenraum 8 zwischen zwei benachbarten Stegen 7 eingeschoben werden kann. Da das Material der Wellpappe sich etwas verformen kann und auch die Zapfen 11 des vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gespritzten Hakenelements 9 etwas nachgeben können, ist eine exakte Abstimmung zwischen dem Abstand der Zapfen 11 und der Wellpappe nicht erforderlich.The partially opened view of FIG. 2 shows how individual channel-like spaces 8 are formed between the webs 7 of the corrugated cardboard. In the area of the recess 4, a hook element 9 is inserted on each end face of the blank in the area of the upper edge thereof. The hook element 9 contains a downwardly open, essentially U-shaped hook 10 which is arranged outside the blank and can be placed on a rail. On the side facing the front edge 6 of the blank, the hook element contains three pins 11 which run parallel to one another and all have different lengths. The distance between the pins 11 is such that each pin 11 can be inserted into a space 8 between two adjacent webs 7. Since the material of the corrugated cardboard can deform somewhat and the pins 11 of the hook element 9, which is preferably injection molded from plastic, can give way, exact coordination between the distance between the pins 11 and the corrugated cardboard is not necessary.

Wie die Fig. 2 ergibt, ist der Abstand zwischen den beiden oberen Zapfen so gewählt, daß diese in Zwischenräume 8 eingreifen, zwischen denen noch ein weiterer Zwischenraum 8 zwischen zwei Stegen 7 angeordnet ist. Der obere Zapfen liegt also mit seiner Unterseite nicht an dem gleichen Steg 7 an wie der mittlere Zapfen mit seiner Oberseite.As shown in FIG. 2, the distance between the two upper pins is selected so that they engage in spaces 8, between which a further space 8 between two webs 7 is arranged. The bottom of the upper pin does not rest on the same web 7 as the top of the middle pin.

Der Abstand zwischen dem mittleren und dem unteren Zapfen 11 ist nochmals größer gewählt, so daß zwischen diesen insgesamt drei Stege 7 bzw. zwei Zwischenräume 8 vorhanden sind.The distance between the middle and the lower pin 11 is chosen to be even larger, so that there are a total of three webs 7 or two spaces 8 between them.

Fig. 3 zeigt, wie bereits erwähnt, eine Ansicht der Stirnseite 6 eines Zuschnitts, aus dem sich ergibt, daß bei der Wellpappe eine Vielzahl von durch Stege 7 getrennter Zwischenräume 8 vorhanden sind. Die einzelnen Zwischenräume 8 können sich aufgrund des Stegmaterials verformen, so daß die Zapfen 11 des Hakenelements 9 nicht auf eine spezielle Form angepaßt zu sein brauchen.3 shows, as already mentioned, a view of the end face 6 of a blank, from which it follows that in the case of the corrugated cardboard there are a large number of interspaces 8 separated by webs 7. The individual gaps 8 can deform due to the web material, so that the pins 11 of the hook element 9 need not be adapted to a special shape.

Fig. 4 zeigt in einem gegenüber der Fig. 2 vergrößerten Schnitt das Hakenelement 9. Die Zapfen 11 haben eine Dicke, die kleiner ist als die Dicke des Hakenelements 9. Sie sind außerdem mittig bzgl. des Hakenelements 9 angeordnet. Dadurch bildet sich zu beiden Seiten der Zapfen 11 ein Rand, so daß bei Einschieben des Hakenelements 9 in die Stirnseite 6 der Hängemappe das Material an der Stirnseite längs einer relativ großen Fläche anliegen kann, nicht nur in dem Bereich zwischen den Zapfen 11, sondern auch im Randbereich.FIG. 4 shows the hook element 9 in an enlarged section compared to FIG. 2. The pins 11 have a thickness that is smaller than the thickness of the hook element 9. They are also arranged centrally with respect to the hook element 9. This forms an edge on both sides of the pin 11, so that when the hook element 9 is inserted into the end face 6 of the suspension file, the material can rest against the end face along a relatively large area, not only in the area between the pin 11, but also at the edge.

Die Hängemappe nach der Erfindung wird dadurch hergestellt, daß die Hakenelemente 9 als Massenartikel aus Kunststoff gespritzt werden. Die Hängemappen-Zuschnitte werden dann aus Wellpappe oder einem Kunststoffmaterial ausgestanzt, wobei sie beim Stanzen bereits die Ausnehmungen 4 und das Abschrägen der oberen Ecken erhalten können. Die Zuschnitte werden gefalzt und in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Form gebracht. Anschließend werden vier Hakenelemente 9 im Bereich der Ausnehmungen in die Stirnseiten 6 bis zum Anschlag eingeschoben. Damit ist die Hängemappe fertig. Wie die Fig. 1 zeigt, ist das Rückblatt 3 höher ausgebildet, so daß hier eine obere Fläche entsteht, die zur Beschriftung verwendet werden kann. Sie kann selbstverständlich auch mit farbigen Aufklebern zur leichteren Orientierung versehen werden. Ebenfalls möglich ist es, als Organisationshilfsmittel die Hakenelemente 9 aus farbigem Kunststoff zu spritzen. Der nach oben überstehende Randbereich 12 des Rückblattes 3 kann leicht nach hinten gebogen oder gefalzt werden, um die Übersicht zu erleichtern.The hanging file according to the invention is produced in that the hook elements 9 are injection molded as a bulk plastic article. The hanging folder blanks are then punched out of corrugated cardboard or a plastic material, and they can already receive the recesses 4 and the chamfering of the upper corners during the punching. The blanks are folded and brought into the form shown in FIG. 1. Four hook elements 9 are then pushed into the end faces 6 as far as possible in the region of the recesses. The hanging file is now finished. As shown in Fig. 1, the back sheet 3 is formed higher, so that there is an upper surface that can be used for labeling. You can of course also with colored stickers for easier orientation be provided. It is also possible to inject the hook elements 9 from colored plastic as an organizational aid. The upwardly projecting edge area 12 of the rear sheet 3 can be bent or folded slightly backwards in order to facilitate the overview.

Wenn ein Benutzer dies wünscht, so kann er die Hakenelemente 9 auch an anderen Stellen, also beispielsweise etwas höher oder etwas tiefer, einschieben. Dies kann man der Fig. 2 entnehmen.If a user so wishes, he can also insert the hook elements 9 at other points, for example somewhat higher or somewhat lower. This can be seen in FIG. 2.

Es ist aber selbst bei einer fertigen Hängemappe auch für den Endverbraucher immer noch möglich, diese Hängemappe als Hängehefter zu verwenden, indem er die Hakenelemente 9 im Bereich der Oberseite herauszieht, den Zuschnitt umdreht, so daß der Boden 2 oben liegt, und die Hakenelemente 9 nun umgekehrt an der neuen Oberseite einschiebt.However, even with a finished hanging file, it is also still possible for the end user to use this hanging file as a hanging file by pulling out the hook elements 9 in the area of the top, turning the blank over so that the bottom 2 is at the top, and the hook elements 9 now vice versa on the new top.

Selbstverständlich kann am Vorderblatt 1 oder am Rückblatt 3 an der Ober- oder Unterseite ein Heftstreifen zum Abheften von gelochtem Material angeordnet sein.Of course, a tacking strip for filing perforated material can be arranged on the front sheet 1 or on the back sheet 3 on the top or bottom.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine der Fig. 1 ähnliche Darstellung einer Mappe, die üblicherweise als Gummizugmappe bezeichnet wird. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel haben Vorderblatt 1 und Rückblatt 3 die gleiche Höhe. Ihre Herstellung und Falzung geschieht in gleicher Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1, so daß dies nicht nochmals wiederholt wird. Im oberen Bereich der Mappe der Fig. 5 sind in seitlichen Aussparungen 14 Einsatzteile 15 eingesetzt. Die Aussparungen 14 sind so geformt, daß die Einsatzteile 15 im wesentlichen bündig mit dem Material von Vorderblatt 1 und Rückblatt 3 verlaufen. Die Einsatzteile 15 sind an beiden Stirnseiten sowohl von Vorderblatt 1 als auch Rückblatt 3 eingesetzt. Sie sind alle identisch ausgebildet. Jedes Einsatzteil 15 enthält ein Loch 16, dessen Achse sich senkrecht zur Ebene der Blätter erstreckt. Gestrichelt ist in Fig. 5 ein Gummizug 17 dargestellt, der an den Einsatzteilen 15 des Rückblatts 3 befestigt ist. Er ist über die Einsatzteile 15 des Vorderblatts hinübergeführt, also nicht durch die dortigen Löcher 16. Zum Öffnen der Mappe wird der Gummizug 17 über die Oberkante des Vorderblatts 1 geführt. Die Befestigung an den Einsatzteilen 15 des Rückblatts 3 kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß der Gummizug durch die Löcher 16 hindurchgesteckt und auf der jeweils anderen Seite verknotet wird.FIG. 5 shows a representation of a folder similar to FIG. 1, which is usually referred to as an elastic folder. In the illustrated embodiment, front sheet 1 and rear sheet 3 have the same height. They are produced and folded in the same way as in the embodiment in FIG. 1, so that this is not repeated again. In the upper region of the folder of FIG. 5, insert parts 15 are inserted in side recesses 14. The cutouts 14 are shaped such that the insert parts 15 run essentially flush with the material of the front sheet 1 and rear sheet 3. The insert parts 15 are inserted on both end faces of both the front sheet 1 and the rear sheet 3. They are all identical. Each insert part 15 contains a hole 16, the axis of which extends perpendicular to the plane of the leaves. A rubber band 17 is shown in broken lines in FIG. 5 and is fastened to the insert parts 15 of the rear sheet 3. It is led over the insert parts 15 of the front sheet, not through the holes 16 there. To open the folder, the elastic band is used 17 out over the upper edge of the front sheet 1. The attachment to the insert parts 15 of the rear sheet 3 can be done, for example, by inserting the elastic band through the holes 16 and knotting it on the other side.

Es ist auch möglich, daß der Gummizug um die Mappe insgesamt hindurchgeht. An einem der beiden Blätter dienen die Einsatzteile 15 zur Befestigung des Gummizugs, während sie an dem jeweils anderen Blatt dazu dienen, den Gummizug zu führen bzw. eine Beschädigung des Materials der Mappe dadurch zu verhindern, daß sie eine Auflagefläche für den Gummizug bilden.It is also possible for the elastic band to go all around the folder. On one of the two sheets, the insert parts 15 serve to fasten the elastic band, while on the other sheet they serve to guide the elastic band or to prevent damage to the material of the folder by forming a bearing surface for the elastic band.

Fig. 6 zeigt in vergrößertem Maßstab die Anordnung des Einsatzteiles 15 bei der Gummizugmappe der Fig. 5. Das Einschieben erfolgt in gleicher Weise, wie dies unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 2 dargestellt wurde. Das Einsatzteil 15 weist also wiederum Zapfen 11 auf, in diesem Fall zwei Zapfen, die unterschiedliche Länge aufweisen und in die Zwischenräume 8 zwischen den Stegen 7 eingreifen. Die beiden Zapfen sind an der Vorderseite, d.h. der Außenseite der Mappe, durch einen Steg 18 miteinander verbunden, der in der Aussparung 14 liegt. Etwa in der Mitte des Steges ist in einer Verdickung das bereits erwähnte Loch 16 ausgebildet. Der Steg 18 weist im Bereich seiner beiden Enden kurze, nach außen gerichtete Vorsprünge 19 auf, die in Verlängerung der Zapfen 11 liegen. Dadurch wird eine Vertiefung gebildet, die zur Führung des Gummizugs 17 an den Einsatzteilen 15 dient, bei denen der Gummizug nicht durch das Loch 16 hindurchgeführt ist.FIG. 6 shows on an enlarged scale the arrangement of the insert 15 in the elastic folder of FIG. 5. The insertion takes place in the same way as was shown with reference to FIG. 2. The insert part 15 thus again has pins 11, in this case two pins which have different lengths and engage in the spaces 8 between the webs 7. The two pins are on the front, i.e. the outside of the folder, connected to one another by a web 18, which lies in the recess 14. The hole 16 already mentioned is formed in a thickening approximately in the middle of the web. The web 18 has short, outwardly directed projections 19 in the region of its two ends, which are in an extension of the pins 11. This forms a depression which serves to guide the elastic band 17 on the insert parts 15, in which the elastic band is not passed through the hole 16.

Das Einstecken der Einsatzteile und ihre Dimensionierung entspricht im wesentlichen der bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 bis 4, so daß dies nicht nochmals ausgeführt wird.The insertion of the insert parts and their dimensioning essentially corresponds to that in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, so that this is not repeated.

Während die beiden Ausführungsformen unterschiedliche Mappenarten darstellen, ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, bei einer Hängemappe der Fig. 1 bis 4 zusätzlich noch Einsatzteile wie bei Fig. 5 und 6 vorzusehen, wobei es selbstverständlich auch möglich ist, den Gummizug nur innerhalb der Mappe zu führen, um Papiere in der Hängemappe selbst auf der einen Seite festzulegen.While the two embodiments represent different types of folders, it is of course also possible to additionally provide insert parts as in FIGS. 5 and 6 in a hanging folder of FIGS. 1 to 4, it being a matter of course it is also possible to guide the elastic band only inside the folder in order to fix papers in the hanging folder itself on one side.
