Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping device for items to be clamped, such as sheet stacks, display boards, maps, calendars or the like.
  • a clamping device for items to be clamped, such as sheet stacks, display boards, maps, calendars or the like.
  • two clamping legs connected to one another via a back, one of which consists of two sections which are spaced from the back by a joint running parallel to the back are connected, and of which the portion connected to the part of the joint facing away from the back is designed as an actuating handle and is provided with a clamp which, in the clamped position relative to the other clamp leg, assumes a detent position defined by at least one stop, in which it resiliently against the Clamping material or the other clamping leg forming a piece with the back is pressed.
  • a clamping device of the type under consideration is known from plastic, in which the joint-free clamping leg, the back and the section of the clamping leg having the joint adjoining the back are designed as a one-piece spring clip, the back in the essentially has the shape of a half cylinder.
  • Problems can arise with the known device if, for example, thick and thin stacks of sheet material are to be deposited one after the other. In such a case, hysteresis phenomena impair the clamping ability of the clamping device in such a way that, after previous clamping of a thick stack of sheets, the secure clamping of a thin stack of sheets or a single sheet is no longer guaranteed.
  • the invention has for its object to design a clamping device of the type under consideration so that it enables the secure clamping of items to be clamped both comparatively large and small thickness, and this in particular in an alternating sequence, while at the same time care is taken to maintain the original clamping force for a long time.
  • This object is achieved in that of the two sections of one clamping leg connected by a joint, that section which lies between the back and the joint connecting the two sections is connected to the back in the region of the back via a further joint and that acts on this section at least one spring which presses the clamping plunger in the clamping position against the material to be clamped or the other clamping leg.
  • the clamping device has the advantage that, in order to achieve a perfect clamping effect, the force of the spring is used, the material properties of which primarily, if not exclusively, take account of the tasks to be performed by a spring.
  • the material for the clamping legs and the back of the clamping devices one does not have to take into account the requirements that must be met in order to achieve a perfect clamping effect of the clamping device, which depends on the characteristic curve of the spring.
  • the clamping device according to Figures 1 to 3 has two clamping legs 1 and 2 and a back 3.
  • the clamping leg 1 is divided into two sections 1a and 1b, which are connected to one another via a first joint 4.
  • a second joint 5 connects the section 1a of the clamping leg 1 to the back 3 of the clamping device.
  • a web made of elastic material which forms a spring 6 which, in conjunction with the second joint 5, serves to clamp the clamping device both with respect to the thickness of the material to be clamped and also with respect to it to improve durability.
  • the clamping material 7 to be picked up for example formed by a stack of sheets, is clamped between the clamping leg 2 and a clamping stamp 8, the latching position of which relative to the clamping leg 2 is determined by a stop 9.
  • the clamping punch 8 and the stop 9 are formed by webs, the arrangement of which is such that the distance A between the back 3 of the clamping device and the connection point of the first joint 4 with the section 1b of the clamping leg in the latching position is greater than the smallest distance a between the back 3 and the point at which the free end of the clamping plunger 8 is supported on the clamping leg 2 or the material to be clamped 7; the clamping punch 8 is inclined to the clamping leg 2 and forms an angle ⁇ of 100 to 110 ° with it.
  • the section 1b of the clamping leg 1 viewed in FIG. 1 is pivoted so far counterclockwise that the goods 7 can be easily inserted into the space 10 between the clamping legs 1 and 2.
  • section 1b is pivoted back until it assumes the position shown in FIG. 2, in which it is automatically held. Due to the elasticity of the web forming the spring 6, there is no fear of a decrease in the clamping force or a loss of the clamping effect if the clamping device is used in succession for articles of different thickness.
  • the tensile force of the spring 6 is sufficient in any case to press the outermost end of the clamping plunger 8, which is formed by a dome, firmly against the clamping material 7.
  • the cavity 11 between the back 3 and the web 6 of the clamping device can be used to accommodate plugs 12 and enables the use of the clamping device as a storage rail for hanging files, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • Each plug 12 has a suspension part 13, a bolt 14 which can be inserted into the cavity 11 and a retaining lip 15.
  • FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 11 A slightly modified clamping device is shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 11, the same reference numerals being used for the corresponding parts as in the previously described embodiment, and only the differences are discussed below.
  • the clamping device according to FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 11 is designed like the clamping device according to FIGS. 1 to 3 as a clamping rail and, like this, consists of a co-extruded profile section. It is provided in the region of its back 3 with an extension arm 16, which carries a cam 17 at its end and forms a holding groove 18 together with the back 3, into the single filing eyes 19 according to FIGS. 9 and 10 or double filing eyes 20 according to FIGS 13 are insertable. Both types of eyelets point Stapling holes 21 and holding anchors 22 adapted to the clear interior of the holding groove 18, the latter being insertable from the side into the holding groove 18 and being held there in a frictionally locking manner at the respectively provided location.
  • FIGS. 14 to 16 A clamping device with an integral filing tab 23 is shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, in which parts corresponding to previous embodiments are also assigned the same reference numerals.
  • the filing tab 23 can, as shown in FIG. 15, be provided with a universal elongated hole punching or, as shown in FIG. 16, with marginal perforations for filing in binder with two or four hole mechanisms. The respective holes are punched after a coextrusion process, which enables the clamping devices shown to be produced particularly economically.
  • the hollow space 11 can also be used for receiving plugs 12 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 14 to 16 in order to accommodate the clamping device in a suspension file.
  • FIG. 17 shows the cross section of a clamping device, the clamping leg 2 of which is provided on the outside with an adhesive layer 25 covered by a peel-off film 24, which allows the clamping device to be easily attached to a writing board 26, as shown in FIG.
  • a clamping punch 27 is used, the end of which faces away from the joint 4 forms an arcuate skid 28, which in particular makes it easier to clamp larger stacks of sheet material.
  • the back 3 of the clamping device according to FIG. 19 is equipped with a dovetail guide 29 for receiving the dovetail profile 30 of a perforated strip 31.
  • Another special feature of the clamping device according to FIG. 19 is that the side of the clamping leg 2 facing the clamping leg 1 is provided with a non-slip support 32.
  • the clamping plunger 27 is supported with its back to relieve the joint 4 against an inclined surface facing it at the end of the section 1a facing the joint 4.
  • FIG. 22 shows a clamping device with a spring 33, which is additionally connected to the back 3 via a cantilever 34, while in FIG. 23 a spring 35 is shown, which consists of an elastic web, which is even connected to the back 3 over the entire surface .
  • springs 6, 33 and 35 which are designed as tension springs
  • springs 36 designed as compression springs can also be used, either alone or in conjunction with a spring 6, 33 or 35 designed as tension spring.
  • the use of compression springs 36 assumes, however, the presence of projections 37, 38 projecting beyond the back 3, and if an L-shaped projection 39 is used, as in FIG. 26, a second projection 38 could be dispensed with.
  • FIG. 29 shows a clamping device in which, between the clamping stamp 27 and the clamping leg 2, one is under the action of a return spring 42 Guide tongue 43 is arranged with a locking cam 44, which must be overcome when opening the clamping device.
