Definitions

  • The. invention relates to a binding element for binding a loose sheet existing stack of documents, with a back part and two side parts, wherein the side parts are arranged substantially perpendicular to the back part are, e.g. see document US-A-5730571.
  • the invention has for its object an inexpensive and simple to propose manageable binding element.
  • the object is achieved in that the binding element from a shape Memory material is formed or that at least part of the binding element is formed from a shape memory material.
  • the binding element According to an advantageous development of the binding element according to the invention it is provided that the two side parts at room temperature are biased against each other, causing a clamping force on the between sheets of the document stack inserted into the side parts are exercised; to open the binding element and to insert or remove Scrolling through the stack of documents, the binding element is placed over a Room temperature and preset on the shape memory material Temperature heated. If the preset temperature is reached, the binding element assumes a position in which the two side parts in one are arranged to each other spread position.
  • the binding element according to the invention can be designed very differently his.
  • the entire binding element consists of the either along the entire length of a side edge of the stack of documents extends or only over a certain sub-area, from one Shape memory material. Since this variant is relatively expensive, one sees alternative solution that only parts of the binding element from Shape Memory material are formed. These parts are either in the material of the Back part and / or the side parts inserted, or they are on this and / or attached.
  • the back part, or at least the side parts of the bandage are made of a material whose elasticity is perfect is the resilience of the shape memory material.
  • the part or parts are made of shape memory material a spring, a strip-shaped part or a wire.
  • the parts e.g. the spring, are according to a first embodiment between the fixed both side parts above the back part of the spine; is The back part is provided in the middle areas of the side parts Spring attached between the two side parts below the back part become.
  • part or parts can be from Shape Memory Material essentially the shape of the binding element with back part and Have side panels. You are then either inside the truss or arranged outside the spine. But you can also as be an integral part of the spine.
  • a further back part made of any material (cardboard, Plastic, metal e.g. Spring steel, etc.) attached, which extends over the entire Length of the side edge of the document stack to be bound.
  • the binding element according to the invention it is intended that the part or parts from Shape Memory Material integral part of the back part and / or the side parts of the Are binding spines, or that the part or parts by means of suitable Fasteners on the back part and / or the side parts of the Binder back is attached or are attached.
  • the Binding element 1 is made of shape memory material. With the shape Memory material is either metal or plastic.
  • the Binding element 1 made of shape memory material has a back part 4 and two Side parts 5, 6, with the side parts 5, 6 in the position in which they are Pinch the side edges of the sheets 2 of a stack of documents 3, are inclined and biased against each other.
  • Shape memory material is characterized by the fact that it takes on a different shape at, for example, room temperature than at a higher temperature.
  • the temperature at which this other preset shape is adopted can be varied over a wide range.
  • This effect is used in the present invention to the effect that, at room temperature, the binding element 1 is able to clamp a stack of documents between two side parts 5, 6, in particular between the upper edges of the side parts 5, 6.
  • the two side parts are spread apart, so that the sheets 2 of the document stack 3 can be inserted or removed as desired.
  • a conventional thermal binding device with an adjustment shaft is used to heat the binding element 1.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of the Binding element 1 according to the invention with integrated parts made of shape Memory material.
  • Back part 15 and side parts 16, 17 of the binding spine 11 are made of a material that has a lower clamping force than that preset shape memory material, so that the respective shape of the Binding element 1 is determined by the shape of the shape memory material.
  • the actual binding spine 11 can, for example, be a act inexpensive injection molding or extrusion. Because with this Embodiment of consumption of relatively expensive shape memory material is low, the corresponding binding element 1 is comparatively inexpensive.
  • FIG. 2a The embodiment of the binding element according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2a inserted parts made of shape memory material, which at A document stack 3 along one of its side edges binds.
  • 2b shows the corresponding binding element 1 at a higher one Temperature in the open position.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a third embodiment of the Binding element according to the invention 1.
  • Shape memory material is either a spring 8 or a spring strip-shaped insert 9 or around a wire-shaped insert 10.
  • this Parts 8, 9, 10 on the back part 15 and / or the side parts 16, 17 of the Binder 11 can be attached is in the cross sections of the subsequent figures Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 shown.
  • Figures 4a and 4b show the different possibilities an installation of a spring 8 above or below the back part 15 of the Bandage 11.
  • the two embodiments are in perspective shown in Figures 7a and 7b.
  • Figures 5a, 5b and 5c show three different variants, how a strip-shaped insert 9 are attached to the binding spine 11 can.
  • 5a and 5b has the part from shape memory material in cross section essentially the shape of the Binder 11, also consists of a back part 4 and two Side parts 5, 6.
  • the configuration which can be seen in FIG. 5c corresponds to 4b, but the spring 8th is replaced by a strip-shaped insert 9.
  • FIG. 6a, 6b and 6c is the integration of a wire Part 10 shown in the binder 11. Again the wire has 10 - in analogy to that shown in Figures 5a and 5b Design with a strip-shaped part 9 - essentially the shape of the Bandage 1.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 6c is the configurations reproduced, which are shown in Figures 4b and 5c.
  • the binding element 1 shows a perspective view of a further embodiment of the Binding element 1 according to the invention, wherein the binding element 1 as a clip is formed, that is, only over a limited area of the side edge of the document stack 3 extends.
  • the binding element 1 consists of a Binding 11 with integrated shape memory material. Just like that The binding back 11 also has the shape memory material, a back part 4 and two side parts 5, 6 on.
  • the comb 11 and the shape memory material are about a fastener 12 - I am in the case shown a rivet connection - connected to one another in the area of the back parts 15, 4.
  • FIGs 9a and 9b is a perspective view of a Cost-effective design of the binding element 1 according to the invention shown. It consists of two individual elements 18 with a back part 4 or 4, 15 and side parts 5, 6 and 16, 17, respectively, the back parts 4 and 4, 15 of the Elements 18 are connected to a further back part 13, which in its Length is matched to the format of the document stack 3 to be bound.
  • the two elements 18 can either be formed from shape memory material , but they can also have a configuration as shown in FIG. 9b you can see.
  • the shape memory material consisting of back part 4 and side parts 5, 6, integrated in the binding spine 11.
  • FIG. 10 A further variant of the binding element 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 10 to see.
  • a portion of the spine 11, e.g. made of plastic has an opening into which a correspondingly shaped part made of shape Memory Materials 7 can be inserted.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 schematically illustrate applicators 14, which make it possible to automatically insert the part from Shape Memory Material insert a binding spine 11.
  • the binding spine 11 has the consists of a material with a relatively small clamping force, a recess, into the shape of a correspondingly shaped part from below Memory material is inserted.
  • the two side parts of the shape memory material are slightly pushed apart (this is indicated by the two arrows), so that in the assembled state a clamping effect between the side parts 5, 6 of the shape memory Material and the side parts 16, 17 of the spine 11, which consists of a Material with a relatively low clamping force is achieved.
