Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mappe mit zwei über einen an seiner Außenseite und seiner Innenseite durch jeweils eine Profilschiene verstärkten Mappenrücken verbundenen Deckeln und mit einer an der Innenseite des Mappenrückens befestigten Ringbuchmechanik.The invention relates to a folder with two over one on his Outside and its inside by a profile rail reinforced covers and connected covers with one attached to the inside of the back of the portfolio Ring binder mechanism.

Aus der DE-AS 1 259 291 ist eine als Ringbuch ausgebildete Mappe der vorstehenden Art bekannt, bei der der die Mappendeckel miteinander verbindende Mappenrücken außen und innen durch vor ihrer Anbringung unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien aufweisende Profilschienen aus elastisch verformbarem Kunststoff verstärkt ist, wobei die außen liegende Profilschiene mit integralen Haltezapfen für die Ringbuchmechanik versehen ist. Die bekannte Mappe vermag aus mehreren Gründen nicht voll zu befriedigen. Ein erster Grund besteht darin, daß die Profilschienen von lediglich leicht gekrümmten Kunststoffstreifen gebildet werden, deren Steifigkeit zu wünschen übrig läßt. Als nachteilig erweist sich die begrenzte Steifigkeit dabei insbesondere dann, wenn die Streifen länger als die Ringbuchmechanik sind. Im letzteren Fall muß nämlich mit einem Aufspreizen der Kunststoffstreifen am oberen und unteren Ende des Mappenrückens gerechnet werden. Problematisch ist zudem der Umstand, daß die Streifen vor dem Zusammenfügen unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien aufweisen. Dies führt dazu, daß beim Zusammenfügen der Profilschienen und der Ringbuchmechanik im Bereich der Anlage der Längskanten der im Ausgangszustand stärker gekrümmten äußeren Profilschiene gegen den Mappenrücken auf diesen eine Kerbbeanspruchung ausgeübt wird, die die Gefahr einer Rißbildung in sich birgt. Nachteilig ist schließlich, daß die integralen Haltezapfen an der äußeren Profilschiene deren Herstellung als Strangpreßprofilschiene unmöglich machen und daß die Festigkeit der Kunststoffhaltezapfen zudem zu wünschen übrig läßt.DE-AS 1 259 291 is designed as a ring binder Wallet of the above type known, in which the folder cover interconnecting portfolio backs outside and inside due to different radii of curvature before they are attached having profile rails made of elastically deformable plastic is reinforced, with the outer profile rail provided with integral retaining pins for the ring binder mechanism is. The known portfolio is unable for several reasons to fully satisfy. A first reason is that the Profile rails from only slightly curved plastic strips are formed, the stiffness of which is poor leaves. The limited stiffness proves to be disadvantageous especially if the strips are longer than that Ring binder mechanics are. In the latter case, namely with a Spread the plastic strips at the top and bottom End of the portfolio spine. Is problematic also the fact that the strips before joining have different radii of curvature. This leads to, that when assembling the rails and the ring binder mechanism in the area of the system of the longitudinal edges in the initial state more curved outer profile rail against the Portfolio spine is notched on this, which carries the risk of cracking. The disadvantage is finally, that the integral retaining pin on the outer Profile rail their manufacture as an extruded profile rail make impossible and that the strength of the plastic retaining pin also leaves something to be desired.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mappe der in Betracht gezogenen Art zu schaffen, die über einen Mappenrükken verfügt, der sich durch eine große Stabilität auszeichnet. Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Profilschienen zur Erhöhung der Steifigkeit des Mappenrückens dienende seitliche Stege aufweisen und im Bereich ihrer Enden durch jeweils eine Abdeckkappe miteinander verbunden sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Mappe zeichnet sich durch einen Mappenrücken großer Steifigkeit aus. Da die Profilschienen an ihren Enden durch Abdeckkappen miteinander verbunden sind, bilden sie gewissermaßen über ihre ganze Länge eine Einheit, die den Mappenrücken nicht nur verstärkt, sondern auch seine oberen und unteren Enden vor Beschädigungen schützt.The invention has for its object a folder in Considered type to create that over a portfolio which is characterized by great stability. The object is achieved in that the Profile rails to increase the rigidity of the portfolio back have serving side webs and in the region of their ends are connected to each other by a cover cap. The portfolio according to the invention is characterized by a portfolio back great rigidity. Because the rails on their Ends are connected to each other by cover caps they are, as it were, a unit over their entire length that Portfolio spine not only reinforced, but also its top and protects the lower ends from damage.

    • In Fig. 1 ist eine als Tischflipchart ausgebildete Mappe im aufgestellten Zustand dargestellt. Die Mappe besitzt zwei Deckel 1 und 2, die über einen Mappenrücken 3 miteinander verbunden sind. Mit dem dem Mappenrücken 3 abgewandten Außenrand 4 des Deckels 2 ist über ein Filmscharnier 5 eine Klappe 6 verbunden, die im Abstand vom Filmscharnier 5 mit einem Stütz- und Halteanschlag 7 versehen ist, der ein Widerlager für den dem Mappenrücken 3 abgewandten Außenrand 8 des Dekkels 1 bildet. Mit 9 sind parallel zum Filmscharnier 5 und zum Anschlag 7 verlaufende Nuten bezeichnet, die ebenfalls als Widerlager für den Außenrand 8 des Deckels 1 nutzbar sind. Die Deckel 1 und 2, der Mappenrücken 3 und die Klappe 6 bestehen aus zwei Folienabschnitten, die an ihren Rändern und im Bereich des Filmscharniers 5 und zweier weiterer den Mappenrücken 3 mit den Deckeln 1 und 2 verbindender Filmscharniere 10 und 11 miteinander verschweißt sind. Die Deckel 1 und 2 und das Ende 12 der Klappe 6 sind durch nicht dargestellte Kartoneinlagen verstärkt. Im Bereich des Mappenrükkens 3 kann auf eine Kartoneinlage verzichtet werden, da die Stabilität des Mappenrückens mit anderen Mitteln erzielt wird.In Fig. 1 is formed as a table flip chart folder in displayed state. The folder has two Lids 1 and 2, which are connected to each other via a portfolio back 3 are connected. With the outer edge facing away from the portfolio back 3 4 of the lid 2 is a flap via a film hinge 5 6 connected, the distance from the film hinge 5 with a Support and holding stop 7 is provided, which is an abutment for the outer edge 8 of the cover facing away from the portfolio back 3 1 forms. With 9 are parallel to the film hinge 5 and to stop 7 extending grooves designated, which also usable as an abutment for the outer edge 8 of the cover 1 are. Lids 1 and 2, folder back 3 and flap 6 consist of two sections of film on their edges and in the area of film hinge 5 and two others the portfolio back 3 film hinges connecting lids 1 and 2 10 and 11 are welded together. The lids 1 and 2 and the end 12 of the flap 6 are by not shown Cardboard inserts reinforced. In the area of the portfolio back 3 can be dispensed with a cardboard insert, because the Stability of the portfolio back achieved by other means becomes.

    Mit dem Mappenrücken 3 ist eine Ringbuchmechanik 13 verbunden, deren Ringe 14 durch Schlitze 15 einer aus elastischem Kunststoff bestehenden Abdeckung 16 mit einem bogenförmigen Querschnitt ragen. Die Abdeckung 16 und ein zwischen der Ringbuchmechanik 13 und dem Mappenrücken 3 angeordnete Profilschiene 17 bilden Teile eines Gehäuses 18 für die Ringbuchmechanik 13. Wie am besten aus Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 erkennbar, ist die das Unterteil des Gehäuses 18 bildende Profilschiene 17 mit hohlen seitlichen Stegen 19,20 und mehreren an ihrer Unterseite angeordneten, zur Erhöhung der Steifigkeit dienenden Längsrippen 21 versehen.A ring binder mechanism 13 is connected to the portfolio back 3, whose rings 14 through slots 15 one made of elastic Plastic existing cover 16 with an arcuate Protruding cross section. The cover 16 and one between the Ring binder mechanism 13 and the portfolio back 3 arranged profile rail 17 form parts of a housing 18 for the ring binder mechanism 13. As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 5, is the profile rail forming the lower part of the housing 18 17 with hollow side webs 19, 20 and more arranged on its underside, to increase the rigidity serving longitudinal ribs 21.

    In Fig. 3 ist der Querschnitt der Abdeckung 16 im nicht auf die Profilschiene 17 geklipsten Zustand dargestellt. Um die Länge Lo der Schlitze 15 auf ein Maß L1 zu vergrößern, das ausreicht, um die Ringe 14 durch die Schlitze 15 stecken zu können, wird die Abdeckung 16 in die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Form überführt und anschließend auf das Unterteil des Gehäuses 18 aufgeklipst. Bei der Herstellung der Mappe erfolgt das Anbringen der Abdeckung 16 allerdings erst, nachdem die Profilschiene 17 und die Ringbuchmechanik 13 zusammen mit einer Profilschiene 22 mittels Nieten 23 mit dem Mappenrücken 3 verbunden worden sind. Die Profilschiene 22 bildet bei geschlossener Mappe den Hauptteil des sichtbaren Mappenrückens und läßt sich nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihrer schrägen Flanken 24,25 als Griffleiste nutzen. Im in Fig. 1 dargestellten, aufgeklappten Zustand der Mappe erfüllen die auf den normalen Spreizwinkel der Deckel 1,2 in der Flipchartposition abgestimmten schrägen Flanken 24,25 der Stützprofilschiene 22 eine zusätzliche Funktion, die darin besteht, daß sie die gegen sie anliegenden Enden der Deckel 1 und 2 abstützen und dadurch die Stabilität des Flipcharts spürbar erhöhen. Die von einem Abschnitt eines Strangpreßhohlprofils gebildete Profilschiene 22 weist ebenfalls hohle seitliche Stege 26 und 27 auf, die Rastnuten 28,29 zur Aufnahme einer Sichtleiste 30 mit nach innen gebogenen Rändern 31,32 bilden, in die ein Beschriftungsstreifen 33 einführbar ist.3 shows the cross section of the cover 16 in the state not clipped onto the profile rail 17. In order to increase the length L o of the slots 15 to a dimension L 1 , which is sufficient to be able to insert the rings 14 through the slots 15, the cover 16 is transferred into the shape shown in FIG. 4 and then onto the lower part of the Unclipped housing 18. In the production of the folder, however, the cover 16 is only attached after the profile rail 17 and the ring binder mechanism 13 have been connected to the folder back 3 together with a profile rail 22 by means of rivets 23. When the folder is closed, the profile rail 22 forms the main part of the visible folder back and, not least because of its oblique flanks 24, 25, can be used as a grip strip. In the open state of the folder shown in FIG. 1, the sloping flanks 24, 25 of the support profile rail 22, which are matched to the normal spreading angle of the covers 1, 2 in the flipchart position, fulfill an additional function, which consists in that they end up resting against them Support covers 1 and 2 and thereby noticeably increase the stability of the flipchart. The profiled rail 22 formed by a section of an extruded hollow profile likewise has hollow lateral webs 26 and 27 which form locking grooves 28, 29 for receiving a viewing strip 30 with inwardly curved edges 31, 32, into which a labeling strip 33 can be inserted.

    Die hohlen Stege 19,20 der Profilschiene 17 und die hohlen Stege 26,27 der Profilschiene 22 lassen sich zur Befestigung von Abdeckkappen 34 nutzen, mit deren Hilfe die offenen Stirnwände des Gehäuses 18 und die offenen Enden der Profilschienen 17 und 22 geschlossen werden können. Die Abdeckkappen 34 sind zu diesem Zweck mit Haltestiften 35 und 36 versehen, deren Querschnitt an den Querschnitt der lichten Innenräume der hohlen Stege 19,20;26,27 in einer Weise angepaßt sind, daß die Haltestifte 35,36 die Abdeckkappen 34 kraftschlüssig in den Stegen halten. Neben ihrer Abdeckfunktion erfüllen die Abdeckkappen 34 noch eine zusätzliche Funktion, die darin besteht, daß sie den endseitigen Zusammenhalt der Profilschienen 17 und 22 fördern. Zur Erhöhung der Festigkeit der Verbindung zwischen den Abdeckkappen 34 und den Profilschienen 17,22 dient eine am freien Ende eines Auslegers 37 angeordnete Rastnase 38, die in ein ihr zugeordnetes in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes Loch im Bodenbereich der Profilschiene 22 einrasten kann.The hollow webs 19, 20 of the profile rail 17 and the hollow ones Crosspieces 26, 27 of the profiled rail 22 can be fastened use of cover caps 34, with the help of which the open End walls of the housing 18 and the open ends of the rails 17 and 22 can be closed. The cover caps 34 are provided with retaining pins 35 and 36 for this purpose, their cross section to the cross section of the clear interior the hollow webs 19.20; 26.27 adapted in a way are that the retaining pins 35,36 the cover caps 34 non-positively hold in the docks. In addition to their covering function the cover caps 34 perform an additional function, which consists in the end-to-end cohesion of the Promote rails 17 and 22. To increase strength the connection between the cover caps 34 and the profile rails 17,22 serves one at the free end of a boom 37 arranged locking lug 38, which in an associated in the Drawing not shown hole in the bottom area of the profile rail 22 can snap into place.
