Abstract

A folder for papers (S), comprising a cover (1) and a base (2) operatively joined together by a back (3), wherein the back (3) is adjustable in width (y) to accommodate a height of a stack of papers, wherein the back (3) extends on a base side into a tongue (4} said tongue being insertable and movable in a pocket (5), said tongue constituting an insertable tongue said pocket_being joined to the base (2), and movement of the insertable tongue (4) in the pocket (5) being limited by a stop.

Description

The invention relates to a document folder with a lid and a bottom that over a Back are connected with each other, with the back in Adaptation to a stack height of the document collection in its width is variable, which is why the back continues on the bottom side into a plug-in tab, which in a pocket connected to the floor is slidable.

A folder of this type is described in DE-PS 671 229 known. A stack of sheets is in the area of the back held by an adapted exposed adhesive layer. The plug-in tab is freely slidable arranged between two leaf springs inside the pocket, so that their mobility a certain resistance is opposed. Such braking means are expensive and complicate the initial plug-in assembly or that Re-thread if there is still a slipping out the plug tab has come.

EP-PS 382 179 proposes one Folder back part of an angled section of the lid and one angled in the opposite direction Form section of the floor, the sections overlap each other and so a growing of the back enable. But here is a connection-intensive one Technology required with elongated holes and penetrating them Bolts in the form of staples.

The object of the invention is a generic Document folder easy to manufacture and to train them in a way that is advantageous for use.

This task is solved by the in the claims specified invention.

As a result of such a configuration is a generic one Document folder with increased utility value achieved. The elaborate pairing of materials is also eliminated. Much more the result is a pure and therefore environmentally friendly Disposal. Specifically, the procedure is such that the Push-in flap can be moved in the pocket with limited stops is. The limitation is clearly noticeable. It does not apply hence the one with only braking the displacement movement uncertainty that occurs in practice. The Appropriate means of doing this is easy by using the Insert tab as a stopper to form the stop one Envelope section. That can be done when cutting of the corresponding folder-forming component take into account immediately. As advantageous for assembly Then the measure proves that the envelope section reaches over the top of the bag. She is one of them continuously open in the direction of insertion. The assault allowed at the same time a visual check whether the lifting gear exist or are properly assigned. Also the bag can be of integral parts of the corresponding Component, here the floor, and so that the bag from a connected to the ground Folding flag is formed. It just gets across tucked into the displacement path of the plug-in tab. Then the cover section, the folding flag over the edges, handled. Such a folding flag can lay over the entire distance in the folding direction; however, a solution is also further education advantageous that the bag consists of two opposing i.e. facing each other, tied to the ground Folding flags is formed. That leads to one even more more stable solution, according to the folding joint side now duplicate connection areas of such Folding flags. The maximum adjustment path can also be set by Grading may be undershot by the envelope section to change the length accordingly by folding is prepared. Such folds arranged in parallel are already known for themselves in the classic folder. There is also an advantageous feature of Invention in that a narrow side facing away from the back the folding flag as a counterstop with the cover section cooperates. A further classification as by means of closely adjacent parallel folds, that the folding flag with the formation of partial folding flags is divided longitudinally to change the counterstop. In other words, the folded flag or both turned against each other Folding flags or a reciprocal sequence of many Folding flags have practical, transverse stretching directions ladder-like counter-stops, also realized from the narrow sides facing away from the back Partly folding flags. It is also favorable that the Floor facing away from the back of the bag entirely or partially covering impact wall continues. That lasts the layers forming the extension limiting device overlapping and avoiding what in certain Cases can be useful, direct contact of the Filing or writing goods with the said means. In addition, tabs on the wrapping wall etc. can be provided his.

The result of a multiple document folder an advantageous embodiment by one above the other arranged document folders after one or several of the preceding claims 1 to 9, the only Slidable against each other in one direction are connected. As the individual document binders connecting element is also used here to overlap an envelope section or envelope sections open pocket throughout. One in this regard particularly advantageous solution is achieved by each a the bottom of a first document folder and the lid of a second document folder etc. limited sliding connecting pocket. A This is a solution of even independent importance before that the pocket of one of the folding flag or flags having intermediate cut is formed and the through the bag each tied together lid and floors that have envelope sections. This pull-out limiter can be done by one common, astride overlap of both envelope sections realized on a counterstop or but using separate counterstops that are in the In the case of the formation of partial folding flags, as explained, available. Then it turns out to be cheap, that the intermediate cut one over his back has outgoing wall. The can support rails possess for the lateral support of the taken up Stored goods.

The loose leaf collector that can be opened and closed like a folder, hereinafter referred to consistently as a document folder S includes a lid 1 and a bottom 2. Both parts mentioned are about the same area size and have a rectangular layout. They preferably exist made of cardboard; but it can also be about Trade plastic wrap or thinner paper.

Lid 1 and bottom 2 are over a back 3 in Connection. The can be broadly in terms of increasing or decreasing stack heights of the written material or change stored items. Lid 1 and bottom 2 remain preserved in terms of area. The corresponding Stretch reserve of the back 3 holds a subsequent one Clip 4 ready. The latter leads as so-called stopper in a pocket 5 or at least two-part document folder S. The pull-out stroke of the tongue 4 is, for example at three cm. Regarding the pocket 5, however, it can also act as a separate flat hose section. It may be enough already a C profile. The end areas the C-legs form groove-like shafts. Such bags can be fixed by stapling, gluing or the like be assigned.

Lid 1, back 3 and plug tab 4 consist of one common first blank I essentially T-shaped Shape. This is shown in isolation in Fig. 4. In the order of functional parts 1, 3 and 4 finally connects a cover section 6. It acts as a displacement path x limiting stop A, so as a so-called stopper. In both end positions there is a defined direction of displacement. At least but the move is blocked. The one shown in Fig. 5 maximum displacement x between pocket 5 and Insert tab 4 corresponds essentially to the one selected maximum attainable or usable width y of the back 3. As can be seen in FIG. 6, the stop A is from the bottom of the rebate in the direction of the back 3 folded envelope section 6 formed. The shift directions (there and back) are indicated by arrows.

This pull-out limitation device receives the appropriate counter support through the mentioned pocket 5, which Part of a second blank, designated II is shown, for example, in FIG. 3. Its cover section 6 overlaps the pocket 5 on the upper side (see Fig. 6). This attack is also then still given if, as illustrated in Fig. 5, the entire width y of the back 3 retracted into the pocket 5 is, so that the back 3 there practically only offers a folding seam 7 close to the lid. The assault is denoted by z (see FIG. 5). Spine 3 and cover section 6 can, as can be seen, folded closely parallel his.

A structurally particularly simple solution consists in narrow the tab 4 and as a parallel strip tongue in one or better two transverse slots of the Bottom 2 to move. Cross means: cross to Displacement direction x. After threading, the free End of the plug-in tab 4, ie the cover section 6, over the narrow side of the relevant side facing away from the back Cross slot folded. This creates an effective one here too Stopper. The envelope section 6 can face outwards be folded through. This variant is not shown because it is easy to imagine. You can do that of the bottom 2 remain in the usual form, i.e. for example DIN A 4. Pocket 5 is special here integrated to save material. In general, the bag 5 also optionally formed on the lid 1 or on the bottom 2 his.

The second blank II is also basically T-shaped Outline, with the T-bridge in terms of area mentioned Bottom 2 forms and the T-legs folding flags there 8 shapes that are transverse to the direction of displacement of the clip 4 are hammered into the inside of the folder. she ends there face against face. Instead of, as shown and preferred, the pocket 5 but also from only one folding flag starting from the bottom 2 8 be generated. The folds in this regard bear the reference number 9. The narrow side remote from the back the folding flags 8 act as a counter stop G to A.

3 and also, for example, FIG. 6, the floor 2 sets in the direction of displacement Plug-in tab 4 continues into an impact wall 10, as it were extending the T-bar. The impact wall 10 starts at a fold line 11 of the bottom 2. Cover 1, Floor 2 and impact wall 10 are approximately the same area.

In steps of the width y of the back 3, for example to be able to vary are both the back 3 as well as the envelope section 6 through from the drawings obvious, closely adjacent folds prepared, so that the narrow side of the folding flag facing away from the back 8 or the folding flags 8 also in contrast as Act counter counter stop G of stop A.

The counter stop G can also be in a range of Be pocket 5 formed, which is closer to the back 3. For this purpose, the folding flags 8 only need accordingly to be cut back. You can use this to Counter stop G formed narrow side more towards of the back 3. It is also a tiered Arrangement of counter-stops G possible by the Folding flags 8 slits at intervals. Such a Slot is shown for example in Fig. 6 and designated 12. The under training in this way of partial folding flags 8 ', 8' longitudinally divided folding flag 8 could also be staggered, ladder-like counter stops create. Fig. 5 shows in dash-dotted lines Line type a second variant of the partial folding flags 8 ', alternately directed in opposite directions and each other clearly overlapping on the sides.

Such folding flags 8 and 8 'can also be used as Realize narrow strips, for example on the inside equipped with a surface fastener. The edge of the Insert tab 4 would wear the counter-lock. I thought is here a so-called Velcro.

The variable adjustment range can be advantageous Way covered by the aforementioned wall 10 be, so that the documents not shown or Filed goods, on the other hand, is taken up compartmentally.

In the interest of securing the documents on the side the folder S used in landscape format foldable support strips 13. They go over folding seams 14 in the lid 1 or go from this. The Approach of the support strips 13 at the edge of the cover goes off said fold 14 in a fold over, so that also these support strips 13 with respect to the stack height of the The collection of documents grows or is reduced again can be.

The multiple scripts folder S ', the second Embodiment embodiment (see e.g. Fig. 11), is basically the same structure. The reference numbers are, in part without repeated text, analogous applied. There are individual document folders S added to a kind of expansion folder, lying on top of each other summarized, one of many backs 3 achievable total back is present. The stacking can be clearly seen from FIGS. 22 to 24. In addition to the present one, which was discussed in detail above stroke-limited displaceability are the individual document folders S via a connecting part tied together. It is on Fig. 11 referred.

Regarding the connecting part, it is a pocket-forming intermediate cut III as it is mainly results from Fig. 10 and also in a modification from Fig. 7. In the folded position prepared for assembly he goes (III) in perspective from Fig. 25 out.

His pocket, here marked 5 ', consists of two Folding flags 8 '', which are transverse to the direction of displacement (see arrows in Figs. 5 and 6) folded against each other are. These folding flags 8 ″, 8 ″ result from which also corresponds to the T-shaped shape of the intermediate cut III. This creates a kind of hose section or continuously open pocket 5 '. The takes the bottom 2 of a first document folder S and the cover 1 of a second document folder S on. These parts are common or independent of each other in the hose section or in the pocket 5 ' Slidably guided to limit the stroke or move. Here, the ones guided through the pocket 5 'settle and floors that can be moved within limits 2 and cover 1 each in an envelope section 15 or 16 away. The latter serve the function of the envelope section 6 and that of capturing the binders S to each other. They also take at maximum released Width y of the respective back 3 a tightly fitting, astride position (see Fig. 23). The from Bottom 2 coming envelope section 15 joins his folding base as a counter stop G against that of the corresponding narrow side of the folding flags 8 '' Pocket 5 'formed stop A. At the left The outgoing sections of a collector S remain the envelope sections 15, 16 still overlap in a remaining section. A separation of the document binders summarized in this way S is only destroying the corresponding one Relocation limiting means possible. ,

As can also be seen in FIG. 23, the intermediate blank has III a going beyond his back 17 Folding wall 18 on. The has foldable in the Representation of underlaid support strips 19, which take on a task as it is with regard to the Tragleisen 13 of the lid 1 is explained.

Fig. 24 shows one of the document folders S with in a larger width y transferred the lid-to-floor layer spacing enlarging back 3. Hereby lies one of the relevant stack heights essentially fair level of acceptance of this folder S before.

From Fig. 12 there is an opening study of the initial one Unfold the multiple document folder there S 'to the end or closing of this folder (Fig. 21). It returns the ones explained above Elements again. The reference numbers correspond to the text applied. 12, 14, 16, 18 show the minimal useful width of the back 3, just in the sense the creation of the folds 7, which width at only weakly filled loose leaf collectors occur or enough. 13, 15, 17 and 19 give the maximum width y of the back 3, taking it of course it is understandable that by using the ladder-like A stops a much wider broadening of the Back 3 can be achieved, among others Use of the rather long plug-in tab 4. Opened are in all representations of FIGS. 12 to 19 also the respective subsequent impact walls 10 or 18th

Fig. 14 shows the occupation of both a stop A. Partial folding flags 8 '', 8 '', the hooking element closer to the back 3 in in terms of length or outline of its envelope section is adjusted accordingly. This element results from Fig. 9.

In this embodiment, the one explained above can also be used Tongue anchorage grip, further in the sense of a Schubers, who holds the parts together.

All the features disclosed are essential to the invention. In the disclosure of the application is hereby also the Disclosure content of the associated / attached priority documents (Copy of the pre-registration) in full included, also for the purpose, characteristics of this Documents in claims of the present registration with to record.
