Abstract

The ring binder consists of a cover (1) with a supporting strip (2) rivetted to its inner surface adjacent to its spine, and a number of rings (4) which are fastened to the supporting strip to hold looseleaf pages. Each of the rings has a flat portion with projecting teeth which can engage with recesses in one side of the supporting strip when the binder is not in use, and with recesses across the supporting strip when in use. The rings are elastically deformable and have tips which are shaped to clip together when closed, and can be pulled apart for the insertion of papers/documents.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet le mécanisme à anneaux plats qui est défini à la revendication 1. Dans ce mécanisme, les anneaux peuvent être détachés d'une bande-support convenablement fixée au dos de la reliure servant à contenir des feuillets mobiles, pour être insérés dans des entailles profilées appropriées, découpées de cavités prévues pour recevoir l'un des côtés de l'anneau plat ouvrant apte à retenir les feuillets mobiles.The subject of the present invention is the mechanism with flat rings which is defined in claim 1. In this mechanism, the rings can be detached from a support strip suitably fixed to the back of the binding serving to contain loose sheets, in order to be inserted in appropriate profiled notches, cut out of cavities intended to receive one of the sides of the flat opening ring capable of retaining the loose sheets.

Aussi bien la bande-support que les anneaux ouvrants, destinés à être insérés dans les entailles pratiquées dans ladite bande, sont avantageusement réalisés en matière plastique, éventuellement dans des colorations différentes.Both the support strip and the opening rings, intended to be inserted into the notches made in said strip, are advantageously made of plastic, possibly in different colors.

Le faible encombrement, l'inaltérabilité dans le temps et le poids réduit constituent des avantages importants par rapport aux reliures destinées à contenir des documents présentés en feuillets mobiles qui existent déjà actuellement dans le commerce.The small footprint, the unalterability over time and the reduced weight constitute significant advantages compared to binders intended to contain documents presented in loose sheets which already exist commercially today.

La possibilité de monter les anneaux ouvrants sur le côté de la bande fixée à l'intérieur de la reliure, lorsque cette dernière n'est pas utilisée, réduit sensiblement l'encombrement pour l'expédition et le stockage de ces reliures avant l'utilisation.The possibility of mounting the opening rings on the side of the band fixed inside the binding, when the latter is not used, significantly reduces the space required for shipping and storing these bindings before use .

Le mécanisme à anneaux plats selon l'invention sera décrit plus en détail en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • la figure 1 est une vue de côté de la reliure sur laquelle est monté le mécanisme à anneaux plats détachables selon l'invention :
  • la figure 2 est la vue de face de la reliure ouverte avec les anneaux détachés et ouverts ;
  • la figure 3 représente à échelle agrandie le détail relatif à un anneau inséré dans le support monté sur la reliure ;
  • la figure 4 représente le détail relatif à une partie de l'anneau, avant le montage dans le support montré en coupe transversale selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 2;
  • les figures 5 et 6 représentent respectivement les détails relatifs à l'anneau fermé et à l'anneau ouvert, indiqués dans le cercle VI de la figure 7 ;
  • la figure 7 est une vue de côté de la reliure, dans laquelle ont été insérés les anneaux, représentés ouverts.
The mechanism with flat rings according to the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the binding on which the mechanism with detachable flat rings according to the invention is mounted:
  • Figure 2 is the front view of the open binding with the loosened and open rings;
  • FIG. 3 represents on an enlarged scale the detail relating to a ring inserted in the support mounted on the binding;
  • 4 shows the detail relating to a part of the ring, before mounting in the support shown in cross section along the line IV-IV of Figure 2;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 respectively represent the details relating to the closed ring and to the open ring, indicated in circle VI of FIG. 7;
  • Figure 7 is a side view of the binding, in which were inserted the rings, shown open.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, la reliure 1 est formée d'une bande-support 2, de préférence en matière plastique, découpée d'entailles 3 dans lesquelles on insère les anneaux 4, enlevés des encastrements latéraux 5 prévus sur les côtés de la bande 2 et dans lesquels ces anneaux sont placés lorsque les reliures vides de documents se trouvent en magazin ou en cours d'expédition, ainsi que lors de la vente.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the binding 1 is formed by a support strip 2, preferably made of plastic, cut out of notches 3 in which the rings 4 are inserted, removed from the lateral embedments 5 provided on the sides of the strip 2 and in which these rings are placed when the empty binders of documents are in stores or during shipment, as well as during the sale.

Sur la figure 3, l'anneau 4 est monté sur le côté du support 2 et il est représenté à échelle agrandie, pour faire voir la prise de ses dents 6 en arrière des saillies 7 ménagées dans les cavités 8 réalisées sur les côtés de la bande 2.In Figure 3, the ring 4 is mounted on the side of the support 2 and it is shown on an enlarged scale, to show the grip of its teeth 6 behind the projections 7 formed in the cavities 8 formed on the sides of the band 2.

Au moment du montage, l'utilisateur prélève les anneaux 4 (figure 4) pour les placer au droit des entailles 3 vues sur la bande 2, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2.At the time of assembly, the user removes the rings 4 (FIG. 4) to place them in line with the notches 3 seen on the strip 2, as can be seen in FIG. 2.

L'accrochage des anneaux 4 dans les entailles 3 s'effectue au moyen de la prise de saillies 9 présentes sur des ailettes 10, qui émergent sur la périphérie inférieure de l'anneau 4, saillies qui s'accrochent à des appendices 11, rentrants vers l'intérieur et convenablement configurés dans les entailles 3 du support 2.The attachment of the rings 4 in the notches 3 is effected by means of the catch of projections 9 present on fins 10, which emerge on the lower periphery of the ring 4, projections which hang on appendages 11, re-entrant inwards and suitably configured in the notches 3 of the support 2.

La déformabilité élastique de la matière plastique avec laquelle les anneaux 4 ont été réalisés permet d'accrocher facilement les saillies 9 des ailettes 10 aux saillies 11 du support 2.The elastic deformability of the plastic material with which the rings 4 were made allows to hang easily the projections 9 of the fins 10 to the projections 11 of the support 2.

Sur la figure 7, on voit clairement un anneau 4, inséré sur le support 2 qui est fixé à l'intérieur de la reliure 1 à l'aide de rivets 12, l'anneau 4 étant fermé par l'accrochage d'un élément saillant 13 dans une cavité 14 ménagée à l'extrémité opposée de l'anneau 4, visible en position ouverte sur la figure 6, tandis qu'il est visible en position fermée sur la figure 5, où on remarquera que l'insertion de l'élément saillant 13 dans la cavité 14 est rendue possible par la présence d'une entaille longitudinale 15 à l'intérieur de la cavité 14 où se trouve l'élément saillant 13, entaille 15 qui se prolonge aussi à l'intérieur de l'élément saillant 13.In Figure 7, we can clearly see a ring 4, inserted on the support 2 which is fixed inside the binding 1 using rivets 12, the ring 4 being closed by the attachment of an element protruding 13 in a cavity 14 formed at the opposite end of the ring 4, visible in the open position in Figure 6, while it is visible in the closed position in Figure 5, where it will be noted that the insertion of the the protruding element 13 in the cavity 14 is made possible by the presence of a longitudinal notch 15 inside the cavity 14 where the protruding element 13 is located, notch 15 which also extends inside the protruding element 13.

Sous l'effet de la pression qu'exerce avec ses doigts l'utilisateur sur les deux parties opposées de l'anneau 4, l'élément saillant 13 se rétrécit, en faisant encliqueter son ressort 15 dans la cavité 14 élargie intérieurement et, plus précisément, à l'intérieur par rapport à des arêtes 17 prévues à l'intérieur de la cavité 14.Under the effect of the pressure exerted with his fingers by the user on the two opposite parts of the ring 4, the projecting element 13 narrows, making its spring 15 snap into the cavity 14 internally enlarged and, more specifically, inside with respect to edges 17 provided inside the cavity 14.

L'anneau 4, une fois fermé, reste solidement dans cette position, naturellement après qu'on y aura inséré les documents qu'il s'agit de conserver dans la reliure, en accrochant ces documents, à l'aide de perforations prévues dans ces documents au niveau des anneaux 4.The ring 4, once closed, remains securely in this position, naturally after having inserted the documents to be kept in the binding, by hanging these documents, using perforations provided in these documents at the level of the rings 4.

Naturellement, le nombre des anneaux insérés dans la reliure pourra être différent de trois, en plus ou en moins, et les autres détails relatifs à la forme de construction du support 2 et des anneaux 4 pourront être modifiés.Naturally, the number of rings inserted into the binding may be different from three, more or less, and the other details relating to the form of construction of the support 2 and of the rings 4 may be modified.
