Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abheftvorrichtung als Thermoplastspritzgußteil mit an einer Rückenleiste sitzenden Zungen, mit einer Durchgängen und Klemmaufnahmen für die Zungen aufweisenden Deckleiste und mit einem auf die Zungen aufsteckbaren Aufsteckbügel.The invention relates to a filing device as a thermoplastic injection molded part with tongues seated on a back bar, with a passages and clamping receptacles for the lid bar and with a clip-on clip on the tongues.

Das DE 18 90 230 U1 beschreibt eine Abheftvorrichtung der genannten Gattung. Die biegsamen Zungen werden unter Nasen der Deckleiste eingefädelt und festgeklemmt. Dieses Einfädeln der Zungen ist sehr mühsam und aufwendig.DE 18 90 230 U1 describes a filing device of the type mentioned. The flexible tongues are threaded under the lugs of the cover strip and clamped. Threading the tongues is very tedious and time-consuming.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine Erleichterung des Festlegens und Festklemmens der Zungen.The object of the invention is to facilitate the setting and clamping of the tongues.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Deckleiste in einem Längssteg auf die Durchgänge ausgerichtete Klemmaufnahmen mit hinterschnittenen Seitenwänden aufweist und daß der Aufsteckbügel mit Hülsen auf die Zungen aufsteckbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the cover strip has clamping receptacles aligned with the passages with undercut side walls in a longitudinal web and in that the push-on clip with sleeves can be plugged onto the tongues.

Eine besonders einfache Handhabung und Festklemmung der Zungen erreicht man dadurch, daß die Zungen jeweils ein Rechtkantprofil mit in Längsrichtung der Rückenleiste ausgerichteter Breitseite aufweisen.A particularly simple handling and clamping of the tongues is achieved in that the tongues each have a rectangular profile with the broad side oriented in the longitudinal direction of the back bar.

Eine stabile Verbindung mit dem Aufsteckbügel wird dadurch erzielt, daß die Endabschntite der Zungen und die Hülsen des Aufsteckbügels einen Kreisquerschnitt haben.A stable connection with the clip is achieved in that the end section of the tongues and the sleeves of the clip have a circular cross section.

Eine Festlegung der Zungen in Anpassung an den jeweiligen Blattstapel erreicht man dadurch, daß den Durchgängen benachbart in der Deckleiste je ein Rastzahn ausgebildet ist und daß die Zungen auf der in die Nut eingreifenden Breitseite ein Sägezahnprofil aufweisen.A definition of the tongues in adaptation to the respective stack of sheets is achieved in that a locking tooth is formed adjacent to the passages in the cover strip and that the tongues have a sawtooth profile on the broad side engaging in the groove.

Eine feste Verbindung mit einem Träger wird dadurch erzielt, daß eine Abdeckleiste die Rückenleiste überdeckt und mit einem Träger verbindbar ist.A firm connection to a carrier is achieved in that a cover strip covers the back strip and can be connected to a carrier.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, in der darstellen:

Fig. 2
2 shows a front view of FIG. 1,

Die Abheftvorrichtung umfaßt im wesentlichen eine Rückenleiste 1 mit zwei Zungen 2, eine Deckleiste 3 und einen Aufsteckbügel 4. Alle Teile sind Thermoplastspritzgußteile.The filing device essentially comprises a back bar 1 with two tongues 2, a cover bar 3 and a clip 4. All parts are injection molded thermoplastic parts.

Die Rückenleiste 1 ist mit den beiden Zungen 2 vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildet. Die Zungen 2 haben über den Großteil ihrer Länge einen Rechtkantquerschnitt und enden in einen zylindrsichen Abschnitt 5. Die Rückenleiste 1 wird auf einem Träger 6 befestigt, vorzugsweise aufgeklebt. Der Träger 6 kann eine Kartonblatt, ein Thermoplastfolienblatt oder ein anderer Träger sein. Die Rückenleiste 1 kann zur Verbesserung der Halterung auf dem Träger 6 durch eine Abdeckleiste 17 oder Abdeckfolie überdeckt sein, die selbstklebend oder verschweißbar mit dem Träger 6 ausgebildet ist.The back bar 1 is preferably formed in one piece with the two tongues 2. The tongues 2 have a rectangular cross-section over most of their length and end in a cylindrical section 5. The back bar 1 is fastened, preferably glued, to a support 6. The carrier 6 can be a cardboard sheet, a thermoplastic film sheet or another carrier. The back bar 1 can be covered to improve the mounting on the carrier 6 by a cover strip 17 or cover film, which is self-adhesive or weldable to the carrier 6.

Die Breitseite der Zungen 2 ist in Längsrichtung der Rückenleiste 1 ausgerichtet. Die Zungen 2 lassen sich senkrecht zu der genannten Längsrichtung leicht abbiegen. In einer Breitseite ist ein Sägezahnprofil 7 mit mehreren Zähnen ausgebildet.The broad side of the tongues 2 is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the back bar 1. The tongues 2 can be easily bent perpendicular to the longitudinal direction mentioned. A sawtooth profile 7 with a plurality of teeth is formed on a broad side.

Die Deckleiste 3 umfaßt ein Platte 8 mit zwei Durchgängen 9 für die Zungen 2 und einen Längssteg 10. Der Längssteg 10 hat zwei auf die Durchgänge 9 ausgerichtete Klemmaufnahmen 11 mit hinterschnittenen Seitenwänden 12, so daß jeweils eine Zunge 2 in eine Klemmaufnahme 11 eingeklemmt werden kann. Jeweils dem Durchgang 9 benachbart ist ein Rastzahn 13 ausgebildet, in den ein Zahn des Sägezahnprofils 7 eingreift.The cover strip 3 comprises a plate 8 with two passages 9 for the tongues 2 and a longitudinal web 10. The longitudinal web 10 has two clamping receptacles 11 aligned with the passages 9 with undercut side walls 12, so that in each case one tongue 2 can be clamped in a clamping receptacle 11 . A locking tooth 13 is formed adjacent to the passage 9, into which a tooth of the sawtooth profile 7 engages.

Schenkel 14 des Aufsteckbügels 4 sind auf die Zungen 2 ausgerichtet. Jeder Schenkel 14 endet in eine Hülse 15 mit Kreisquerschnitt. Die Hülse 15 isat jeweils auf einen Endabschntt 5 einer Zunge 2 aufsteckbar.Leg 14 of the clip 4 are aligned with the tongues 2. Each leg 14 ends in a sleeve 15 with a circular cross section. The sleeve 15 can be plugged onto an end section 5 of a tongue 2.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen gelochten Blattstapel 16, der auf die Zungen 2 aufgereiht ist. Die Zungen 2 stehen, wie in strichpunktierten Linien angegeben, senkrecht von dem Träger 6 ab. Nachdem die Deckleiste 3 auf die Zungen 2 aufgesteckt ist, werden die Zungen 2 in die in Fig. 2 in ausgezogenen Linien eingezeichnete Stellung umgebogen und in die Klemmaufnahmen 11 eingedrückt. Diese Klemmung wird durch den Eingriff des Rastzahns 13 in das Rastprofil 7 formschlüssig festgelegt.Fig. 2 shows a perforated sheet stack 16, which is lined up on the tongues 2. The tongues 2 protrude vertically from the carrier 6, as indicated by dash-dotted lines. After the cover strip 3 is attached to the tongues 2, the tongues 2 are bent into the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 2 and pressed into the clamping receptacles 11. This clamping is positively determined by the engagement of the locking tooth 13 in the locking profile 7.

Der Aufsteckbügel 4 wird jetzt oder auch bereits zuvor auf die Zungen 2 aufgeschoben. Der Aufsteckbügel 4 ermöglicht ein Auseinanderklappen des Blattstapels 15 und ein Trennen desselben, so daß man an beliebiger Stelle ein Blatt entnehmen kann. Der Blattstapel 15 wird auf dem Aufsteckbügel immer geordnet gehalten.The clip 4 is now or previously pushed onto the tongues 2. The clip 4 enables the sheet stack 15 to be unfolded and separated so that a sheet can be removed at any point. The sheet stack 15 is always kept in order on the clip.
