Definitions

  • the invention relates to an identification label support. of suspended files and a suspended file comprising such support.
  • a wardrobe or closet containing hanging files can be accessed according to a direction which is not perpendicular to its front face. This is particularly the case when the cupboard or cabinet in question is installed in a corner of a room or when the user accesses the suspended files from a determined location, for example defined by his wheelchair desk, which is not exactly opposite the cupboard or closet in question. In this case, his viewing angle of suspension folder identification labels does not match not with the orthogonal direction for which are defined the label carriers of the prior art.
  • the transparent sheaths of the label supports have a geometry capable of producing, in a direction included in their plane of symmetry, a magnifying glass effect allowing better readability of labels.
  • the user who accesses from bias in the suspended file does not benefit from this magnifying glass and may be hampered by the reflection of light on the external surface of the sheaths of the supports in question.
  • the invention solves all of these problems and aims to provide an identification label support allowing the hanging files on shelves in a cupboard or closet with maximum density while the readability of labels can be improved by increasing their width.
  • a another object of the invention is to allow good readability identification labels for suspended files, including understood in the case where, the user accesses the files suspended.
  • the invention relates to a label support suspension file identification including a transparent sheath and a body connected to the backrest, characterized in that said sheath is orientable by pivoting around a substantially vertical axis.
  • the sheath and the label which it contains can be oriented so as not to be perpendicular on the main faces of the hanging file, so that the transverse size of the label support is reduced, which facilitates the establishment of a large number of files hanging under a shelf.
  • the support label includes means for immobilizing the sheath in a position oriented relative to its pivot axis, so that the sheath is kept in the chosen position by the user.
  • these means of immobilization comprise a plurality of notches capable of cooperating with at least one locking lug, these notches being by example arranged side by side in a plane substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis of the sheath.
  • the sheath can be provided with at least one extension carrying the notches while the support body carries at least one lug blocking.
  • the body comprises two parts connected together by a hinge defining the pivot axis.
  • the sheath can be provided with notches on one end while the body includes at its adjacent end notches, a tab carrying a locking pin.
  • the sheath is provided with at least one extension carrying a lug while the body of the label holder carries the notches.
  • the notches can extend over the major part of the height of the support of the invention.
  • the invention also relates to a suspended file comprising a support according to the invention.
  • FIG 1 there is shown a cabinet 1 comprising several hanging files 2, this cabinet being arranged in a corner of a room formed by two walls 3 and 4.
  • the hanging files 2 each include a support 5 in which can be slipped an identification label 10 on which the references or the title of the documents contained in each suspended file 2.
  • the supports 5 are orientable by pivoting around a substantially vertical axis, so that the label holders located on the left of the cabinet 1 can be rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the direction F 'which facilitates their reading by a user watching them in that direction.
  • each support 5 in a direction parallel to the bottom of cabinet 1 is less than the width of each support 5 since it corresponds to the width of each support 5 multiplied by the cosine of the angle a orientation of the support 5 with respect to a plane parallel to the bottom of the cabinet 1 passing through the pivot axis of the supports.
  • This therefore saves substantial space, because the files located in the part of the cabinet in which supports 5 are oriented obliquely can be installed with a high density, and this, including in the case where the label holder and label have greater width to the proper width of each hanging file.
  • the width of the labels usually used for hanging files is 6.35 mm (1/4 inch), which corresponds to the setting 1.5 line spacing on a conventional typewriter.
  • Each of these labels are surrounded by a transparent sheath 6 of which the external dimensions define the transverse dimensions of the support 5.
  • the invention not only allows better readability of file identification labels suspended, but also the reduction in the size of the files suspended in a plane parallel to the back of the cabinet in which they are installed.
  • Figure 1 of label holder is shown in more detail in Figure 2. It essentially comprises a transparent sheath 6 and a body 7 which is mounted on one of the main faces 2 a cardboard folder suspended by any suitable means and , for example, by means of two rivets 8 and 9 passing through a main veil 7 a of the body 7.
  • This body 7 also includes a tongue 7 b disposed substantially perpendicular to the veil 7 a and connected to the latter by a strip 7 c of material , thinner than the web 7 a and forming a substantially vertical pivot axis XX '.
  • the material of the body 7 is chosen so that the strip 7 c has an elasticity such that it allows the pivoting of the tongue 7 b around the axis XX '.
  • polypropylene is particularly suitable for this purpose and the strip 7c can be obtained by pinching the web 7 is achieved in this material.
  • the lateral ends of the tongue 7 b are able to cooperate with two longitudinal grooves 6 a and 6 b of the transparent sheath 6.
  • the sheath 6 is installed on the body 7 by sliding the tongue 7 b in the grooves 6 a and 6 b until the lower end 6 c of the sheath 6 is substantially at the same height as the lower end of the tongue 7 b .
  • the sheath 6 is capable of the same pivoting movements around the axis XX 'as the tongue 7 b .
  • An identification label 10 is installed in the sheath 6, by insertion in its upper part in a direction F '', and can be read through the front face of the sheath 6 whose thickness E makes it possible to create an effect of magnifying glass.
  • the sheath 6 and the label 10 can be oriented so that the label is perpendicular to a direction normal observation F at the bottom of cabinet 1 or at a direction F 'oblique to this bottom, and this, by pivoting around the XX 'axis.
  • the records suspended lights installed in the right part of cabinet 1 of the Figure 1 may have label holder in position in Figure 3 while the hanging folders installed in the left side of cabinet 1 can have a support label in the position of figure 4.
  • the sleeve can be rotated in the direction opposite to reach the position shown in phantom in Figure 4.
  • the label support comprises means for immobilizing the sheath in a position oriented relative to its pivot axis. It is indeed important that, when the sheath 6 has been put in place in the position of FIG. 4, it does not automatically return to its position in FIG. 3 under the effect of the elasticity of the strip 7 c .
  • the sheath 6 comprises in its upper part an extension 11 provided with three notches 12, 13 and 14 arranged on a part of the extension 11 forming an arc of a circle.
  • the veil 7 a comprises for its part an end forming a lug 7 d capable of penetrating one of the notches 12 to 14. Referring more particularly to FIGS.
  • the lug 7 d is engaged in the central notch 13 when the label must be visible in the direction F, that is to say when the label 10 must be substantially parallel to the bottom of the cabinet 1 in which the suspended file in question is installed. This position is visible in FIG. 5.
  • the lug 7 d is engaged in one of the lateral notches, in the example the notch 14.
  • a symmetrical position shown in broken lines can be obtained by orienting the sheath 6 in the opposite direction.
  • the transition from one position to another is obtained by exerting traction on the sheath 6 so as to release the lug 7 d from the notch 12, 13 or 14 into which it enters.
  • This relative movement of the notches relative to the lug 7 d is possible thanks to the elasticity of the materials used for the body 7 and the sheath 6.
  • the label support of FIG. 1 comprises second means for immobilizing the sheath 6 in a position oriented relative to the axis XX '.
  • These second means consist of three notches 22, 23 and 24 formed at the end 6c of the sheath 6, while the body 7 comprises at its lower end a tab 7 e which carries a second lug 7 f .
  • Figures 7 and 8 show the position of the lug 7 f respectively in the notch 22 or in the notch 23 depending on the orientation of the label support chosen by the user.
  • the user wishes to change the orientation of the sheath 6, he can disengage the lug 7 f from the notch 22, 23 or 24 by slightly lifting the sheath 6 and causing the sheath 6 to carry out the desired movement before pushing back down the sheath 6 so that a notch covers the lug 7 f .
  • the self-weight of the sheath 6 is a factor of stability of the assembly obtained by the cooperation of the lug 7 f and the notch 22, 23 or 24 in which it is engaged.
  • Figures 9 and 10 show a second embodiment of the invention in which elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear an identical reference increased by 50.
  • the support 55 of this embodiment differs from the previous one essentially in that its body 57 carries in its upper part two pins 57 d and 57 d offset relative to the axis of symmetry of a veil 57 a of the body 57, so that they each simultaneously penetrate into a notch belonging to a series of four notches 62 to 65 formed on the arcuate edge of an extension 61 of a transparent sheath 56.
  • This embodiment has the particular advantage that, due to the double immobilization resulting from the two pins 57 d and 57 d ', the label support of the invention is very firmly held in the position chosen by the user, for reading a label 60, by rotation of the sheath 56 and a tongue head 57 b around a pivot axis XX 'materialized by a band 57 c forming a hinge.
  • FIG. 11 shows a third embodiment of the invention in which the elements similar to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 8 bear identical references increased by 100.
  • the support 105 of this embodiment differs from the preceding essentially in that the orientable nature of a sheath 106, in which a label 110 is housed, is obtained thanks to the geometry of the body 107 of this support.
  • the body 107 comprises an extension 107b of generally cylindrical shape and provided with grooves or notches 112, 113, 114, 112 ', 113' and 114 '. These grooves, which are distributed over a circular arc formed by the surface of the extension portion 107 b, extend over most of the height of the body 107, that is to say the support 105.
  • the transparent plastic sheath 106 comprises two extensions 111 and 111 'each carrying a lug 117, respectively 117'.
  • Each of the lugs 117 or 117 ' is intended to penetrate one of the grooves 112 to 114 and 112' to 114 '.
  • the pins 117 and 117 ′ may extend over the major part of the height of the sheath 106 or be present only over a part of the latter.
  • the axis of symmetry of the extension 107 b coincides with the pivot axis XX 'of the sheath 106.
  • pins 117 and 117 ′ can be distributed over the height of extensions 111 and 111 '.
  • the operation is as follows: When it is necessary to set up the sheath 106 on the body 107, the latter is driven in a vertical translational movement so that the pins 117 and 117 'penetrate into two notches or diametrically opposite grooves.
  • the user wishes to orient the sheath 106 relative to the axis XX 'passing through the center of the extension 107 b , he exerts a torque with respect to this axis on the sheath 106 whose extensions 111 and 111' are deformed because of the elastic properties of the material used for its manufacture, which makes it possible to disengage the pins 117 and 117 ′ from the grooves in which they are engaged.
  • the lugs penetrate into the corresponding grooves under the effect of the elasticity of the extensions 111 and 111 ′.
  • the device of the invention can thus easily be brought from the position shown in FIG. 12 to one of the positions shown in solid lines or in broken lines in FIG. 13.
  • one end 118 ′ of the extension 111 ′ abuts against the web 107 a of the body 107 when the sheath 106 is in an oblique position relative to the main faces of the hanging file on which the support of the invention is mounted.
  • This end stop 118 ′ which can be produced over most of the height of the support 105, gives good mechanical stability to the device and avoids deterioration of the latter in the case where a user exercises on the sheath 106 a torque which would tend to make it exceed the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 13.
  • the end 118 of the extension 111 also constitutes a stop in the position represented in dashed lines in FIG. 13.
  • Figures 14 and 15 show a fourth embodiment of the invention, the constituent elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear identical references increased by 150.
  • the support 155 of this embodiment differs from the previous one essentially in that pins 167 and 167 'carried by extensions 161 and 161' of a transparent sheath 156 are arranged at the ends of the extensions 161 and 161 'furthest from a label 160. This extreme position of the pins 167 and 167 'makes it possible to take full advantage of the elastic properties of the plastic material of the extensions 161 and 161' when the sheath 156 is moved from one position to the other.
  • the sheath 156 when the sheath 156 is in an oblique position as shown in FIG. 15, one of the lugs 167 or 167 ′ is in abutment against the web 157 a of the body 157 and therefore fills the depending on the end 118 or 118 ′ of the previous embodiment.
  • This embodiment therefore constitutes a simplification compared to the previous one while the advantages are retained.
  • the grooves or notches 162 to 164 and 162 'to 164' may or may not extend over the major part of the height of the support 155, just as the pins 167 and 167 'can extend over all this height or on a part of it or be made up of several aligned elements capable of penetrating simultaneously into a groove.
  • each extension 161 and 161 ' has several lugs, for example two, susceptible to simultaneously penetrate two different grooves at the way of the embodiment of Figures 9 and 10.
  • the translucent sheath carries a single lug on a extension while the extension of the body carries a single series of grooves, the second extension having an internal shape cylindrical able to cooperate with an external cylindrical shape of body extension.
  • Figures 16 to 18 show a fifth embodiment of the invention in which elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear an identical reference increased by 200.
  • the support 205 of this embodiment comprises a body 207 mounted on one side 202 a of a suspended file 202 using two rivets 208 and 209.
  • a transparent sheath 206 is capable of receiving a label 210 by insertion in a direction F '''.
  • the body 207 essentially consists of a veil 207 a resting against the face 202 a , a cylindrical rod 207 b extending substantially parallel to the edge of the face 202 a and a tab 207 e extending perpendicularly to the rod 207 b , in the lower part of the body 207. Over most of its height, the cylindrical rod 207 b is connected to the web 207 a . At its upper part, the rod 207 b has an end 207 c disengaged from the web 207 a .
  • the transparent sheath 206 is made of plastic material and comprises two extensions 211 and 211 ′ capable of enclosing the cylindrical rod 207 b . To do this, the opposite parts of the extensions 211 and 211 ′ each carry a groove in an arc of a circle whose radius is substantially equal to that of the rod 207 b . In its upper part, the sheath 206 carries an extension 212 pierced with a cylindrical orifice 213.
  • the body 207 comprises, at its upper part, a finger 207 h extending, from the veil 207 a , in the direction of the end 207 c of rod 207 b .
  • the operation is as follows: when it is necessary to put the sheath 206 on the body 207, the latter is driven in a downward vertical translation movement along the axis XX 'of the rod 207 b up to 'at that its lower end 206 c abuts against the tab 207 e .
  • the extension 212 is inserted by force between the finger 207 h and the end 207 c .
  • the orifice 213 then covers the end 207 c of the rod 207 b .
  • the sheath 206 can pivot around the axis XX' to reach the orientation desired by the user while the finger 207 h allows s' oppose the extraction of the sheath 206 upwards in FIG. 16.
  • the tab 207 e carries, on an extension 207 g , a lug 207 f oriented towards the rod 207 b , that is to say towards the sheath 206 when the latter is in place on the support.
  • the sheath 206 is provided, on its external face, near its lower end 206 c , with a groove 214 into which the lug 207 f penetrates when the sheath is in place.
  • the lug 207 f also opposes a possible upward movement of the sheath 206 when it is in place.
  • the immobilization of the sheath 206 is carried out only by the finger 207 h or by the lug 207 g .
  • the notches 215 to 219 are provided in an arc at the bottom of the groove 214 so that the lug 207 f is able to penetrate one of them depending on the position of the sheath 206 around the axis XX 'and to immobilize the sheath in this position.
  • the notches 215 to 219 may or may not open out into the internal space of the sheath 206 where the label 210 is housed.
  • the supports shown in the appended figures include three, four, five or six notches, but the invention is applicable regardless of the number of these notches.
  • This number and the position of the notches are determined according to the orientation or orientations sought for the sheath. In particular, several oblique positions with angles of 20, 35 and 50 ° can be obtained by a judicious choice, at the scope of the person skilled in the art, the number and the position of notches and / or lugs.
