Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flat file from cardboard with a first and a second stapler cover, with a stapling device with tongues and perforated strips, in particular for school use.
  • Cardboard file folders are known; during its manufacture, the required section of cardboard is cut from tape, folded according to the desired shape and stapled; the stapling device with tongues and perforated strips required for the flat file is finally inserted into the holes provided.
  • These flat files are too expensive, especially for school use.
  • plastic binders with a (often clear) first stapler cover as the front and a second stapler cover with the stapler as the back using a plastic strip in the manner of a foil hinge, whereby the connection of plastic strips with the first stapler cover on the one hand and with the second stapler cover on the other hand by welding.
  • the stapling device is guided through the back of the stapler and covered by the plastic strips connecting the two stapler covers on the front and the back.
  • these folder are characterized by the fact that they cause considerable disposal problems because of the plastic.
  • the two stapler covers are hingedly connected with a flexible strip of paper, the flexible strip being provided with an application of a natural glue or adhesive with which the connection between the strip and the stapler cover can be produced.
  • the solution is given in that the two stapler covers are hingedly connected with a flexible strip of textile material, the flexible strip being provided with an application of a natural glue or adhesive in the longitudinal extension, at least close to its lateral boundaries, with which the connection between the Strips and the stapler cover can be produced.
  • the alternative form takes a flexible strip of a textile material instead of the paper, advantageously both the paper and the textile material of the flexible strip being at least largely based on natural fibers.
  • the use of materials that are (almost) built entirely on a natural basis avoids the use of plastics and thus ensures that rotting occurs when the flat file - roughly shredded - reaches a landfill. With these flexible strips connecting the two lids, sufficient durability is achieved for the intended use.
  • the stapling device is connected to one of the stapler covers, for example in that incisions are provided near the edge facing the flexible strip and symmetrically to the center, through which the tongue is guided.
  • the rear of the stapler cover near the edge facing the flexible strip has an incision symmetrical to the center through which the stitching tongue is guided.
  • the stitching tongue lies in its central area between the stapler cover and the side strip glued to it and is thus covered.
  • the rear of the stapler cover near the edge facing the flexible strip has double incisions symmetrically to the center through which the tongue is guided.
  • the stitching tongue runs between the two incisions on the back of the stapler cover
  • the incision pairs only the part of the stitching tongue runs on the back, which lies under the flap formed by the incision pair.
  • the width of the flexible strip is provided in such a way that the parts of the tongue of the stapling device guided through one of the two stapler covers are covered by the strip.
  • the tongue can also be used in the gluing be included and thus fixed.
  • the stitching tongue is provided with widenings arranged symmetrically to the center, upstream of the incisions, the width of which exceeds the incision width and thus fixes the stitching tongue.
  • These extensions which are designed as projections projecting on one or both sides, are arranged in such a way that they prevent them from being pushed through the incisions. Both embodiments of this folder can also be easily mass-produced and disposed of accordingly.
  • the glue for the glue application on the flexible strip and / or the corresponding edge areas of the stapler cover is a natural glue, for example based on cellulose or lignin.
  • the glue for the glue application on the flexible strip and / or on the corresponding edge regions of the stapler cover is a glue that melts under the influence of temperature, for example based on a natural resin.
  • the stapler cover forming the back of the stapler is preferably provided with a pocket formed by a pocket strip, the extent of which extends is equal to the height and its width extension is at most 2/3, preferably 1/4 the width of the stapler cover, and the upper, the outer and the lower edge region of the pocket strip and / or the edges of the stapler cover assigned to these edge regions with a strip-shaped glue or adhesive application for connecting pocket strips and stapler cover.
  • a production process is advantageously used with which plastic flat files are produced per se.
  • a possibility for glue application is switched on, whereby a fusible natural adhesive, such as rosin, is transferred as a glue strip to the stapler cover and / or the flexible strip of textile material via heated transfer rollers, which immediately cools and thus solidifies, causing both the stapler cover and the flexible strip can be easily moved in the manufacturing process.
  • a fusible natural adhesive such as rosin
  • the flat file which consists only of easily disposable materials, can be economically manufactured with the known devices for producing the hard-to-dispose flat file made of plastic, it being understood that the application of the adhesive strip is not necessary in the course of production got to; for example, the flexible strip of textile material can be provided with such an application, so that an adhesive application station in the course of the manufacturing device can be dispensed with.
  • the open file in its lower part consists of the upper stapler cover 1 and the lower stapler cover 2. These two essentially identical covers are connected by means of a flexible strip 3, 3 glue or adhesive applications being provided on both sides of the longitudinal edges of this strip, with the aid of which the connection of the stapler cover 1 and 2 and the associated edge areas of the flexible strip 3 can be made. Between the two (not specified) edge areas with the glue or glue application is a central strip 3.1 forming the back of the flat file, which is kept free of glue or glue application.
  • the lower stapler cover 2 is provided with the stapling device which is arranged near the edge of this lower stapler cover 2 assigned to the flexible strip.
  • This consists of a strip with the tongue 6 protruding on both sides and the hole 7.1 with the holes 7.1 which are provided at a distance from the usual holes.
  • the paper to be kept which is provided with a hole in the hole distance of the tongue 7, can be bent with the bent ends of the tongue 6 are grasped and fixed, the ends of the tongue being folded in the usual way after the attachment of the tab 7.
  • the lower stapler cover 2 is provided with a pocket, for example for receiving individual loose sheets, which is formed by a pocket strip 4, which is on its upper, outer and the lower edges are provided with a glue or glue application 5.
  • This pocket strip is advantageously formed from the same cardboard or from a (firmer) paper. It goes without saying that this glue or adhesive application can also be provided on the corresponding edge areas of the lower stapler cover 2 or both on the pocket strip 4 and on the stapler cover 2.
  • this glue or adhesive application 5 the pocket strip 4 is fastened to the stapler cover 2, the same glue or adhesive advantageously being used as for connecting the stapler covers 1 and 2 with the flexible strip 3.
  • the pocket strip 4 is in its Extent of height equal to the height of the stapler cover 2 or 1.
  • the width of the pocket strip is smaller; for loose leaves or the like Simply insert it into the pockets and hold it securely, the width of the pocket strip 4 is kept less than 2/3 of the width of the stapler cover 2 or 1 (a favorable width is 1/4 the width of the stapler cover).
  • FIG. 2a shows a simple attachment of the staple tongue 6: on both sides of the line of symmetry, the stapler cover 2, near the flexible strip 3, has incisions 2.1, through which the staple tongue 6 is inserted from the rear.
  • the tongue 6 itself is provided with widenings 6.1 which, when the tongue 6 is inserted, are close to these incisions 2.1 and thus prevent the inserted tongue 6 from moving.
  • FIG. 2b shows another possibility of attaching the stapling device in the stapler cover 2, which is provided on both sides of the line of symmetry with two parallel incisions 2.2 through which the stapling tongue 6 is guided so that it runs essentially on the inside of the stapler cover 2.
  • the tongue 6 is determined by the incisions, the punched tape allows fixing the sheets to be stapled in a known manner.
  • the flat file designed in this way consists essentially or entirely of natural substances, is adapted to the needs of a mass product and can be disposed of without any problems.
