Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for holding a binding comb for placing perforated sheets thereon.
- It also relates to a machine for binding perforated sheets equipped with such a device.
- comb binding means a binding having the shape of a gutter elongated and consisting of a comb with transverse curved teeth separated two by two by intervals.
- the first are plastic while that the seconds are formed of a metallic wire.
- binding machines have already been proposed, which make it possible to perforate sheets to assemble and join them by means of a comb binding, to form a sort of notebook.
- Document WO-A-93/09958 describes a support device for a metal wire comb binding.
- This device can be integrated into a binding. It includes a support surface and a plurality of support elements which extend spaced apart from this surface, on which a looped portion of the comb, located between two adjacent teeth thereof, can be engaged to allow to the binding to be supported in overhang, that is to say with a "cantilever" effect.
- the support elements cooperate with a loop portion of the comb located between two adjacent teeth.
- This part presents a width which is not necessarily equal to that of the support elements. She may be greater. In such a case, it may happen that the binding is inadvertently moved longitudinally when inserting the perforated sheets, which is customary inconvenient.
- the top of the support elements occupies part of the free space between the teeth and the looped parts of the binding. It is through this space that are introduced perforated sheets to be assembled. This does not pose any special problem for large bindings. On the other hand, for bindings smaller in size, a large part of the aforementioned space is occupied by the support elements, so that the introduction of the sheets is tedious.
- the present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks.
- This device is characterized by the fact that it comprises a set of fingers holding devices arranged in pairs and at least one of which in each pair is movable by relation to each other, so that in a first state of mutual positioning - says retracted state -, they can be inserted in an interval separating two neighboring teeth of the binding, while in a second positioning state - known as the deployed state -, they engage against said teeth in order to maintain the binding.
- the fingers of hold engages regions located between two consecutive loops of the binding, deforming them locally.
- the invention also relates to a machine for binding sheets. perforated, which is fitted with a holding device conforming to one of the characteristics cited above.
- the binding machine 1 represented in the appended FIG. 1 is of the type current. It includes means capable of perforating sheets to be assembled as well as means adapted to close the binding when all of the sheets have been put in place. They will not be described in detail in the present description because they do not, except strictly speaking, part of the invention.
- the machine is equipped on its face upper front of a device 2 for maintaining a comb binding conforming to the invention.
- a comb binding 3 consisting of a wire 30 and which has been discussed above, is partially shown in perspective in Figure 2.
- the wire is shaped so that it presents a succession of alternating loops 31 and 32 of small and large width, say "thin and wide curls".
- loop is meant the part of the binding formed by the wire when it describes an arcuate part delimited on both sides by two parallel branches.
- the loops 32 are bordered by two parallel branches 320.
- the loops 31 define with the branches associated with them a series of transverse teeth D , separated two by two by an interval I.
- the value of the step P can change, as well as the number of loops and their dimensions.
- FIG. 2 is designated by the reference E , the space which separates the loops 31 from the loops 32. It is through this space that perforated sheets to be assembled are introduced on the binding.
- the device 2 comprises a set of retaining fingers which are arranged in pairs and one of which at less in each pair is mobile compared to the other. So, in a first state of mutual positioning - called “retracted state” -, they can be inserted in an interval separating two neighboring teeth from the binding, while in a second positioning state, says “deployed state", they engage against the teeth in order to maintain the binding.
- This device comprises two elongated strips 4 and 4 ', at least one of which is movable relative to the other. In the figures they have been shown to be mobile both, but in opposite directions (arrows f and g ). They can be metallic strips or any other material. They are provided at one of their ends with a button 40, respectively 40 ', capable of allowing their movement.
- This base comprises means forming a stop, capable of limiting their movement relative.
- Each strip carries, at regular intervals, a series of fingers holding 5, respectively 5 '.
- the intervals are identical on the two strips.
- the fingers could be elements related to the crimps.
- the free part of the fingers 5 and 5 ′ has a cutout so that it is shaped as a hook 50, respectively 50 '.
- hook portions 50 of the fingers 5 are arranged opposite the corresponding hook portions 50 'of the fingers 5'.
- the width of the fingers 5 and 5 ' is such that it is less than the width of a loop 32 of the binding 3, between its two parallel branches 320.
- the device is used as follows.
- the strips 4 and 4 ' being arranged so that their respective fingers are superimposed (position of Figures 3 and 5), there is positioned a binding 3 so that the fingers 5 and 5' can be inserted in intervals I separating two neighboring teeth D of the binding.
- the binding and sheets can be removed after returned the strips to their original position. We then bring the whole to the level of a known system capable of closing the binding.
- the upper strip which carries the fingers 5 is made integral with a slide 6 molded and sliding in a base. This slide is provided with a button 60.
- the lower strip, which is provided with fingers 5 ', is fixed. The relative movement of the two strips is limited by a worn nipple by one of them, in place in a light formed in the other.
- This embodiment is also distinguished from the previous one by the fact that the part shaped as hooks of the fingers 5 is slightly raised. This characteristic is useful once all the perforated sheets F are in place on the binding 3. To release the binding from the device, the fingers must be returned to their initial position, retracted. The raising of the hooks of the strip 5 contributes to keeping the binding / sheets assembly in place on the device, as long as the sliding operation of the strip is not completed.
- nine pairs of fingers can be provided to support the comb binding.
- the device of the invention is autonomous, which means that it can be integrated into any binding machine or used separately.
- the fingers of the strips in the state of positioning known as retracted, can not be superimposed but slightly offset from each other.
