Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a binding element, more specifically to a binding element of the type of which the inside of the back is provided with an amount of glue which melts under the influence of heat.
- Binding elements of the above-mentioned type are widely known. In order to bind a bundle of sheets or documents by means of such binding element, the sheets are placed in contact with the glue in the binding element. Consecutively, the whole is placed vertically, the back facing down, on a heating element, so that the glue melts and the sheets intrude in the glue layer. After the binding element has been taken off the heating element, the glue hardens, with as a result that the sheets are retained in the binding element by means of the glue.
- In order to obtain that the heat of the heating element is fed to the glue in an efficient way, more specifically is spread very equally, it is also known to apply an element of a heat conducting material, such as metal, in the back.
- It is also known that the above-mentioned element can consist of a metal U-shaped profile. An example thereof is disclosed in GB 2.197.156. The use of such U-shaped profile also offers the advantage that, when laying the bound bundle open, respectively turning the pages thereof, the glue connections between the sheets, as well as the glue connections between the sheets themselves, is burdened little or not at all, thus avoiding that the sheets come loose.
- According to GB 2.197.156, the U-shaped profile is located at the inside of the file. The binding element therefore has the disadvantage that it is very user-unfriendly, as it is very difficult to slide all sheets into the U-shaped profile, especially with thick bundles. Indeed, the outer sheets end up on the edge of the relatively thick metal profile.
- The invention therefore aims at a binding element whereby the above-mentioned disadvantage is excluded, and more specifically at a binding element whereby said heat conducting element, whether this has a U-shaped section or not, does not trouble when inserting a bundle of loose documents in this binding element.
- To this end, the invention relates to a binding element, consisting of an actual file which is made of one or more parts, the back of which contains an element in a hard heat conducting material, and whereby the back is provided at its inside with an amount of glue which melts under the influence of heat, characterized in that the file, at least partially, is adjacent to the inside of said element. As the file is at least partially adjacent to the inside of the heat conducting element, loose sheets which are inserted in the file can slide into the right position in an unhindered way.
- Indeed, in case a U-shaped heat conducting element is used, the sheets to be bound are lead as far as next to the upright walls of the U-shaped element.
- In case a flat heat conducting element is used, it is excluded that the outer sheets end up next to the heat conducting element.
- The portions of the file adjacent to the inside of the heat conducting element are preferably glued to the latter, for instance with a once-only activatable glue. This is especially important when a continuous inner cover is applied against the heat conducting element, as such glued connection ensures that the inner cover is always in perfect contact with the heat conducting element, and thus the glue for binding the documents is also in perfect contact with the heat conducting element.
- In order to better illustrate the characteristics according to the invention, some preferred embodiments are described hereafter, as examples with no limiting character whatsoever, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- figure 1 represents a cross-section of a binding element according to the invention;
- figure 2 represents the part marked with F2 in figure 1, on an enlarged scale;
- figure 3 represents the binding element of figure 1 during use;
- figures 4 to 7 represent four variants of binding elements according to the invention;
- figure 8 represents a part of the binding element of figure 7 in opened position;
- figures 9 to 12 represents four more variants of binding elements according to the invention.
- As represented in figure 1, the invention relates to a
binding element 1, consisting of, on the one hand, anactual file 2 which is composed of one or more parts, and provided at the inside of itsback 3 with an amount ofglue 4 which melts under influence of heat, and on the other hand, anelement 5 in a hard and heat conducting material, applied at theback 3. - The particularity of the invention exists in that the
file 2, at least partially, thus with a number of components parts thereof, is adjacent to theinside 6 of saidelement 5. - This characteristic can be realized in different ways. To this end, in the embodiment of figure 1, the
file 2 is formed of one continuous sheet of paper, synthetic material or the like which is attached to theinside 6 of theelement 5. Thus the sheet forms afront sheet 7, aback portion 8 andrear sheet 9. Saidglue 4 consists of a strip of hardened adhesive which is applied to the inside of theback portion 8. - According to figure 1, the
element 5 consists of a U-shaped profile with rectangular section, formed of aback wall 10 and twoside walls - Preferably, the
file 2 fits tightly against theinside 6 of theelement 5, or at least fits tightly against theback wall 10 of theelement 5, so that the heat transfer W of theelement 5 to theglue 4 is optimal and for example not hindered by air inclusions or the like. Preferably, the portions of thefile 2 adjacent to theinside 6 are therefore, with their entire surface or not, adhered to the latter, as is represented in the detail view of figure 2. To this end, use can be made of a thin layer ofglue 13. The glue is of such a kind that it will not come loose during the heating when binding documents. To this end, use can be made of a thermo-activatable glue, the melting temperature of which is considerably higher than the binding temperature, a once-only thermo-activatable glue or a non-thermic glue. - As is represented further in figures 1 and 2,
openings 14 can be applied in the portions of thefile 2 adjacent to theinside 6, which allow abulge 15 of the glue, thus causing that a better adhesion is obtained, especially around theedges 16 of theopenings 14. - It is to be noted that instead of a connection by means of the
glue 13, according to an embodiment not represented in the figures, the portions of thefile 2 adjacent to theinside 6 of theelement 5 can also be clenched in the latter. - Figure 3 represents the use of the
binding element 1 of figure 1. During the binding, thebinding element 1 is placed on a heating element 18, together with thedocuments 17 to be bound. Hereby, theglue 4 melts and thedocuments 17 intrude at their bottom edges in theglue 4. After the whole has hardened again, thedocuments 17 are secured in thebinding element 1. - It is clear that, during the insertion in the
binding element 1, thedocuments 17 can easily glide according to arrows A between theside walls U-shaped element 5, respectively can be tapped between them, thanks to the fact that thefile 2 is adjacent to the inside of theelement 5. Indeed, thedocuments 17 cannot end up on the relativelywide edges element 5. - In figure 4 a variant is represented whereby the
front sheet 7 and therear sheet 9 of thefile 2 consist of separate sheets which are both attached to theinside 6 of therespective side walls sheets openings 14 as described above. - According to the embodiment of figure 4, the
glue 4 can be directly applied to theelement 5. - As represented in figures 5 and 6, the
element 5 can be provided with a covering 21, for example a material with an elegant aspect, for example printed paper. Thecovering 21 is preferably folded over the edges of theelement 5, whereby the foldedparts side walls front sheet 7 and therear sheet 9. - It is to be noted that in figure 5 an embodiment is represented whereby the
front sheet 7, theback portion 8 and therear sheet 9 are made of one sheet, while figure 6 represents an embodiment whereby use is made of aseparate front sheet 7,rear sheet 9 and aconnection strip 24 which is adjacent to theelement 5, respectively to the foldedparts sheets connection strip 24, preferably by means of glueing. The build-up of figure 6 is of course also possible without the covering 21 being present. - The build-up with the
connection strip 24 is especially suitable in case that is opted for afront sheet 7 and/orrear sheet 9 of a relatively stiff material, for example transparent synthetic foil. Theconnection strip 24 can than be made of a more supple material than thefront sheet 7 and therear sheet 9, so that the folding open of thebinding element 1, despite the use of afront sheet 7 and/orrear sheet 9 of a relatively stiff material, is not hindered. - According to the embodiment in figure 7 the
front sheet 7 andrear sheet 9 both consist of a cardboard plate. At the inside aconnection strip 24 is applied, for example made of paper, which is adjacent to the inside of theelement 5, and is preferably glued to the latter. - The whole is covered with an
outer cover 25, preferably with an elegant aspect, for example of printed or coloured paper, with or without relief. Theouter covering 25 can be folded at all edges of thebinding element 1. - As is further represented in figure 7, the
front sheet 7 and therear sheet 9 are attached at a certain distance D from theelement 5, so thatfolding zones 26 are formed, which allows thebinding element 1 to be folded open as represented in figure 8. Thesefolding zones 26 are also indicated in figure 6. - As represented in figure 8,
openings 27 can be applied in the material of thefile 2 that is adjacent to theinside 6 of theelement 5, which allow the direct heat transfer from theheat conducting element 5 to theglue 4. Preferably, theseopenings 27 exist in a continuous perforation over the entire back. According to a variant, which is not represented, one long continuous excision can be provided. - In figure 9, a variant of figure 7 is represented, whereby the
connection strip 24 forms part of a continuousinner covering 28. - Figures 10 and 11 represent two further variants whereby the
glue 4 is in direct contact with theelement 5. - Figure 12 represents a variant whereby the
heat conducting element 5 consists of a flat strip. As thefile 2 is hereby adjacent to theinside 6 of theelement 5, with which is meant the side directed towards the inside of thebinding element 1, it is excluded thatdocuments 17 which are inserted in thebinding element 1 end up next to theelement 5. It is clear that also in this case thefile 2 can be assembled in different forms. The example of figure 12, in which theactual file 2 consists of afront sheet 7, aback portion 8 and arear sheet 9 which are made of one single sheet of paper, synthetic material or the like, and acovering strip 19 which is applied to the outside of theelement 5, is therefore in no way limitative. - In the above-described embodiments, the
element 5 is preferably made of metal and in the most preferred embodiment of steel. It is to be understood that by the above-mentioned expression "hard material" is meant that theelement 5 is made of a material which is little or not bendable and is certainly less bendable than paper or synthetic foil. - It is clear that the different characteristics of different embodiments can be mutually combined.
- The present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above and represented in the drawings, but such binding element can be realized in different forms and dimensions without leaving the scope of the invention as defined in the enclosed claims.
