Abstract

The binder, comprising a spine (4) and two flat covers (5, 6), has the fold lines (3a, 3b) between the spine and covers made with curved sections (16) which give the spine concave recesses. The binder has an overall width (L) of covers and spine of 400 - 700 mm, and the curved sections of the spine have a radius of 300 - 1200 mm. When the files are stacked in a row on a shelf the recesses in the sides of the spines leave gaps between adjacent files which allow the fingers to be inserted to grip them.

Description

La présente invention est relative au domaine des articles de papeterie et elle concerne, plus particulièrement, les articles pouvant être qualifiés de reliure ou de classeur qui sont, le plus souvent, équipés intérieurement d'un mécanisme approprié pour assujettir des documents, reliés ou non, qu'il convient de ranger selon un ordre déterminé et de préserver pour en faciliter le classement et la consultation.The present invention relates to the field of stationery and it relates, more particularly, to articles which may be qualified as binding or filing cabinets which are most often internally equipped with a mechanism suitable for securing documents, linked or not, which should be stored according to a determined order and to preserve to facilitate classification and consultation.

Par mécanisme, il convient, bien entendu, de prendre en compte toutes les propositions connues de l'art antérieur, qu'elles soient à levier et arceaux, à anneaux ou encore à pinces.By mechanism, it is, of course, necessary to take into account all the proposals known from the prior art, whether lever and hoop, to rings or pliers.

Les articles du type ci-dessus sont, généralement, conçus pour accepter le classement d'un grand nombre de documents et sont réalisés, à cette fin, de manière à présenter une résistance suffisante lors des manipulations et des rangements.Items of the above type are generally designed to accept the classification of a large number of documents and are produced for this purpose so as to have sufficient resistance during handling and storage.

En règle générale, de tels articles de papeterie sont réalisés en carton compact ou en matière plastique de forte épaisseur et possèdent, généralement dans une partie sensiblement médiane, des zones de pliage qui ont pour vocation de délimiter, dans la feuille ou plaque de matière première constitutive, un dos possédant un axe de symétrie longitudinal et, de part et d'autre de ce dernier, deux plats qui peuvent être de largeurs et de hauteurs égales ou différentes.As a rule, such stationery is made of cardboard compact or very thick plastic and generally have a substantially middle part, folding zones which are intended to delimit, in the sheet or plate of constituent raw material, a back having a longitudinal axis of symmetry and, on either side of it, two dishes which can be of equal or different widths and heights.

Compte tenu de la capacité de classement de documents, le dos présente, généralement, une largeur importante, de sorte qu'un classeur, dont la vocation est d'être rangé selon une orientation verticale debout, devient, lorsqu'il est chargé, difficilement préhensible et manipulable d'une seule main, en raison de son poids.Given the document filing capacity, the back presents, generally a large width, so that a binder, whose vocation is to be stored in a vertical upright orientation, becomes, when loaded, difficult to grip and easy to handle with one hand, due to its weight.

C'est la raison pour laquelle il est généralement prévu de ménager, en partie basse, dans le dos une ouverture, par exemple circulaire, cerclée ou non, qui offre la possibilité d'introduire un doigt de la main pour faciliter la préhension et la prise en charge du classeur.This is why it is generally planned to spare, in lower part, in the back an opening, for example circular, circled or not, which offers the possibility of inserting a finger of the hand to facilitate gripping and support for the workbook.

Malgré cette disposition, les classeurs du type connu, tel que rappelé ci-dessus, ne constituent pas des articles dont la manipulation est aisée.Despite this arrangement, the binders of the known type, as recalled above, do not constitute articles whose handling is easy.

C'est un objet de l'invention que d'apporter des perfectionnements aux articles du type ci-dessus, de manière justement à surmonter les inconvénients de manipulation qu'ils font naítre, en proposant uniquement des modifications constructives qui fournissent à l'utilisateur des moyens de préhension améliorant la manipulation de tels articles.It is an object of the invention to provide improvements to items of the above type, so as to precisely overcome the disadvantages of manipulation they bring about, only proposing modifications which provide the user with gripping means improving the handling such items.

Pour atteindre l'objectif ci-dessus, le classeur à dos ergonomique est caractérisé en ce que les deux zones de pliage adoptent deux tracés, pour partie au moins, courbes, de manière à définir, en position pliée des plats, un évidement dans la partie de chaque plat prenant naissance à partir du dos et un bombement de ce dernier.To achieve the above objective, the ergonomic backpack is characterized in that the two folding zones adopt two lines, partly at less, curved, so as to define, in the folded position of the dishes, a recess in the part of each dish originating from the back and a bulge of this latest.

Diverses autres caractéristiques ressortent de la description faite ci-dessous en référence aux dessins annexés qui montrent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, des formes de réalisation de l'invention.Various other characteristics will emerge from the description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of examples not limiting, embodiments of the invention.

La fig. 1 montre un article de papeterie, du type reliure ou classeur, désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1. De manière conventionnelle, l'article 1 est constitué par une plaque ou feuille de matière première appropriée 2 qui peut être du carton compact ou, encore, une matière plastique convenable, telle que du polypropylène. La feuille ou plaque 2 possède deux zones de pliage 3a et 3b qui sont réalisées de toute manière appropriée pour délimiter, dans la feuille ou plaque 2 un dos 4 possédant un axe de symétrie longitudinal x-x' et, de part et d'autre de ce dos, deux plats 5 et 6 dont les largeurs, rapportées à un axe de symétrie transversal commun y-y', peuvent être égales, comme illustré par la fig. 1, ou encore différentes. Fig. 1 shows an article of stationery, of the binding or filing type, designated as a whole by the reference 1 . Conventionally, the article 1 consists of a plate or sheet of suitable raw material 2 which can be compact cardboard or, again, a suitable plastic material, such as polypropylene. The sheet or plate 2 has two folding zones 3a and 3b which are made in any suitable manner to delimit, in the sheet or plate 2 a back 4 having a longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' and, on either side of this back, two plates 5 and 6 whose widths, related to a common transverse axis of symmetry y-y ', can be equal, as illustrated in FIG. 1, or even different.

La fig. 2 montre que, dans le cas de réalisation de la plaque 2 à partir de carton compact, les zones de pliage 3a et 3b peuvent être constituées chacune par un rainage 7 marqué dans l'épaisseur de la matière première constitutive de la plaque 2. Fig. 2 shows that, in the case of production of the plate 2 from compact cardboard, the folding zones 3a and 3b may each consist of a crease 7 marked in the thickness of the raw material constituting the plate 2.

La fig. 3 fait apparaítre une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la plaque 2 est constituée par deux films 8 et 9 qui enserrent, par des soudures appropriées, des âmes 10 constituant le dos 4 et les plats 5 et 6. Dans un tel cas, les films 8 et 9 sont soudés entre eux, comme désigné par la référence 11 dans les parties correspondant aux zones frontières entre les âmes 10, de manière à constituer, comme dans l'exemple précédent, les zones de pliage, telles que 3a et 3b. Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment in which the plate 2 consists of two films 8 and 9 which enclose, by appropriate welds, cores 10 constituting the back 4 and the dishes 5 and 6 . In such a case, the films 8 and 9 are welded together, as designated by the reference 11 in the parts corresponding to the border areas between the webs 10 , so as to constitute, as in the previous example, the folding areas, such as 3a and 3b .

De manière conventionnelle, l'article 1 est pourvu, de préférence sur la face interne du dos 4, d'un mécanisme 12 qui est approprié à la mise en place, au maintien et au retrait de documents devant être classés et/ou consultés. Un tel mécanisme 12 peut être du type à arceaux et levier, à anneaux, voire à pinces, sans que la structure particulière retenue ait une incidence sur l'objet de l'invention.Conventionally, the article 1 is provided, preferably on the internal face of the back 4 , with a mechanism 12 which is suitable for placing, maintaining and removing documents to be classified and / or consulted. Such a mechanism 12 can be of the hoop and lever type, with rings or even with clips, without the particular structure retained having an effect on the object of the invention.

Dans une première forme de réalisation de l'invention illustrée par la fig. 1, chaque zone de pliage comporte un tracé 15 qui est constitué, au moins, par une partie courbe 16, par exemple centrée sur l'axe de symétrie transversal y-y' et qui offre sa convexité en vis-à-vis de celle appartenant à la zone 3b en étant située par rapport à cette dernière à égale distance par rapport à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal x-x'.In a first embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1, each folding zone has a line 15 which is constituted, at least, by a curved part 16 , for example centered on the transverse axis of symmetry y-y ' and which offers its convexity opposite that belonging to the zone 3b being located with respect to the latter at equal distance from the longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' .

Selon l'invention, chaque tracé 15 comporte, également, deux parties 17, de courbure inverse à celle de la partie 16 à laquelle elles se raccordent dans un prolongement continu. Selon l'invention, les parties 17, de courbure inverse, se raccordent aussi à des parties 18 rectilignes, s'étendant, de préférence mais non exclusivement, parallèlement à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal x-x' pour aboutir aux bords de la plaque ou feuille 2, respectivement 19 et 20 et qui sont considérés comme bas et haut en prenant en compte une orientation de position de rangement debout sur une surface d'appui, telle qu'une étagère 21, telle que cela est illustré par la fig. 4. According to the invention, each trace 15 also comprises two parts 17 , of curvature opposite to that of the part 16 to which they are connected in a continuous extension. According to the invention, the parts 17 , of reverse curvature, are also connected to rectilinear parts 18 , extending, preferably but not exclusively, parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' to terminate at the edges of the plate or sheet 2 , respectively 19 and 20 and which are considered to be low and high taking into account an orientation of the upright storage position on a support surface, such as a shelf 21 , as illustrated in FIG. 4 .

La conformation particulière des zones de pliage comme dit ci-dessus est choisie pour obtenir les résultats suivants, lorsque les plats 5 et 6 sont pliés dans le même sens relativement au dos 4 pour être sensiblement disposés parallèlement l'un à l'autre.The particular conformation of the folding zones as said above is chosen to obtain the following results, when the plates 5 and 6 are folded in the same direction relative to the back 4 so as to be substantially arranged parallel to one another.

En raison de ce pliage, uniquement autorisé par les tracés décrits ci-dessus, chaque plat 5 ou 6 présente, à partir de sa zone frontière avec le dos 4, un évidemment 22 dont la plus grande profondeur correspond à la courbure maximale de la zone 16 et qui vient se raccorder et mourir au plan général du plat 5 ou 6, sensiblement à partir du raccordement entre la partie 16 et les parties 17 de courbure inverse.Because of this folding, only authorized by the lines described above, each dish 5 or 6 has, from its border area with the back 4, a recess 22 whose greatest depth corresponds to the maximum curvature of the area 16 and which is connected and die in the general plane of the flat 5 or 6 , substantially from the connection between the part 16 and the parts 17 of reverse curvature.

Le pliage, tel que décrit ci-dessus, a aussi une autre incidence qui est plus particulièrement mise en évidence par la fig. 5. En effet, en raison de la présence des parties courbes 16 opposées en vis-à-vis pour ce qui concerne les deux tracés 15, le pliage qui intervient provoque une déformation du dos 4 dont la partie sensiblement médiane forme un renflement ou bombement 23 saillant à partir de la face extérieure du dos 4. Folding, as described above, also has another impact which is more particularly highlighted in FIG. 5. Indeed, due to the presence of the opposite curved parts 16 opposite with regard to the two lines 15 , the folding which takes place causes a deformation of the back 4 whose substantially median part forms a bulge or bulge 23 protruding from the outside of the back 4.

Les modifications structurelles ci-dessus qui interviennent à la suite du repliement des plats 5 et 6 permettent, comme cela est mis en évidence par les fig. 4 à 6 de délimiter, dans la zone sensiblement médiane ou en tout cas qui correspond à la situation en vis-à-vis des parties 16, une réduction notable de la largeur maximale 1 du dos 4. Une telle réduction de largeur permet de délimiter, en quelque sorte, une poignée de préhension facilement accessible et préhensible pour la manipulation du dossier.The above structural modifications which occur following the folding of the plates 5 and 6 allow, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 to delimit, in the substantially median zone or in any case which corresponds to the situation vis-à-vis the parts 16, a significant reduction in the maximum width 1 of the back 4 . Such a reduction in width makes it possible, in a way, to delimit an easily accessible and gripping grip handle for handling the backrest.

L'ergonomie de la poignée, désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 25, est également assurée par le bombement ou renflement 23 qui a vocation à épouser la forme palmaire de la main dans sa position de préhension.The ergonomics of the handle, designated as a whole by the reference 25 , is also ensured by the bulge or bulge 23 which is intended to match the palm shape of the hand in its gripping position.

La modification structurelle qui intervient possède une seconde incidence qui est mise plus particulièrement en évidence par les fig. 4 et 6 représentant le classement côte à côte de plusieurs articles 1 en état replié et posés selon une orientation de rangement debout.The structural modification which takes place has a second impact which is more particularly highlighted by FIGS. 4 and 6 representing the classification side by side of several articles 1 in the folded state and placed in a standing storage orientation.

En effet, les évidements 22 qui, pour deux classeurs côte à côte, se trouvent en opposition, délimitent entre eux un dégagement 26 qui permet l'insertion aisée des doigts de la main lors de la préhension et favorise l'adaptation sur la poignée 25 lorsqu'il convient particulièrement d'extraire un article d'un rangement d'une pluralité de ces derniers disposés côte à côte.Indeed, the recesses 22 which, for two filing cabinets side by side, are in opposition, delimit between them a clearance 26 which allows easy insertion of the fingers of the hand during gripping and promotes adaptation on the handle 25 when it is particularly appropriate to extract an article from a storage of a plurality of the latter arranged side by side.

Les avantages de manipulation qui résultent de la poignée de préhension 25 et de la présence des dégagements 26 sont d'autant plus appréciables que la largeur du dos 4 est importante, laquelle est en relation avec la capacité de rangement offerte par l'article 1.The handling advantages which result from the grip handle 25 and from the presence of the clearances 26 are all the more appreciable the greater the width of the back 4 , which is related to the storage capacity offered by article 1 .

Ces dispositions constructives décrites ci-dessus peuvent faire l'objet d'un certain nombre de caractéristiques dimensionnelles sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.These constructive arrangements described above may be subject to a number of dimensional characteristics without going beyond the limits of the invention.

Les expérimentations ont permis de considérer que, pour une largeur transversale hors tout de la feuille ou plaque 2, prise parallèlement à l'axe de symétrie transversal y-y' et, par exemple, définie par la largeur L pouvant être comprise entre 400 et 700 mm et, pour une largeur 1 du dos 4 comprise entre 25 et 100 mm, les portions courbes 16 pouvaient être définies par un rayon de courbure compris entre 300 et 1 200 mm.The experiments made it possible to consider that, for an overall transverse width of the sheet or plate 2 , taken parallel to the transverse axis of symmetry y-y ' and, for example, defined by the width L which can be between 400 and 700 mm and, for a width 1 of the back 4 of between 25 and 100 mm, the curved portions 16 could be defined by a radius of curvature of between 300 and 1,200 mm.

Dans l'exemple selon la fig. 1 et pour les mêmes conditions dimensionnelles que celles ci-dessus, il peut être retenu de conférer aux parties 17 de courbure inverse un rayon compris entre 80 et 500 mm.In the example according to fig. 1 and for the same dimensional conditions as those above, it may be chosen to give the parts 17 of reverse curvature a radius between 80 and 500 mm.

De même, il peut être prévu de conférer aux lignes de pliage rectiligne une hauteur h rapportée à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal x-x' comprise entre 5 et 100 mm.Likewise, provision may be made to give the rectilinear fold lines a height h relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' of between 5 and 100 mm.

Une variante de réalisation est illustrée par la fig. 7 selon laquelle chaque tracé 15 est uniquement constitué par une portion courbe 161 qui aboutit directement aux bords 19 et 20.An alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 7 according to which each trace 15 is only constituted by a curved portion 16 1 which leads directly to the edges 19 and 20 .

La fig. 8 montre une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle chaque tracé 15 comporte une portion courbe convexe 162 qui se raccorde, sans la présence des parties de courbure inverse 17, directement aux parties rectilignes 18. Fig. 8 shows another alternative embodiment according to which each trace 15 comprises a convex curved portion 16 2 which is connected, without the presence of the parts of reverse curvature 17 , directly to the rectilinear parts 18 .

La fig. 9 montre une disposition secondaire de l'invention qui est destinée à tenir compte du bombement 23 imposé au dos 4 dans la position de repliage des plats 5 et 6. Fig. 9 shows a secondary arrangement of the invention which is intended to take account of the bulge 23 imposed on the back 4 in the folding position of the dishes 5 and 6 .

Compte tenu de ce bombement, qui disparaít lorsque l'article est entièrement ouvert, il est prévu d'assujettir le mécanisme 12 sur la face interne du dos 4 par des moyens de fixation 30 admettant un jeu relatif dans la direction de l'axe de symétrie longitudinal x-x'. Les moyens 30 peuvent consister en des rivets 31 qui traversent des boutonnières ou trous oblongs 32 pratiqués dans les parties du dos à partir desquelles le bombement 23 prend naissance dans l'état fermé du classeur.Given this bulge, which disappears when the article is fully open, it is planned to subject the mechanism 12 on the inner face of the back 4 by fastening means 30 admitting a relative play in the direction of the axis of longitudinal symmetry x-x ' . The means 30 may consist of rivets 31 which pass through buttonholes or oblong holes 32 made in the parts of the back from which the bulge 23 arises in the closed state of the binder.

Si dans les exemples de réalisation précédents, il a été évoqué l'existence, pour la constitution des tracés 15, de parties 16, 17 et 18 qui sont exprimées en relation de symétrie avec les axes x-x' et y-y', il doit être considéré une variante qui ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention et qui consisterait à déplacer, d'une même mesure, par exemple les parties 16, pour les rapprocher, soit du bord 19, soit du bord 20.If in the previous embodiments, it was mentioned the existence, for the constitution of the traces 15 , of parts 16 , 17 and 18 which are expressed in relation of symmetry with the axes x-x ' and y-y' , it must be considered a variant which would not depart from the scope of the invention and which would consist in displacing, by the same measure, for example the parts 16 , in order to bring them closer either to the edge 19 or to the edge 20 .

Il peut être envisagé également, comme cela est illustré par la fig. 10, de réaliser des parties 16a qui ne soient pas définies par un seul rayon de courbure mais qui, au contraire, comportent, soit une succession de rayons, soit un seul, tel que R1 qui est raccordé à une partie rectiligne 18a correspondante par une ligne de pliage 31 à caractère oblique.It can also be envisaged, as illustrated in FIG. 10, to produce parts 16a which are not defined by a single radius of curvature but which, on the contrary, comprise either a succession of rays, or only one, such as R 1 which is connected to a corresponding rectilinear part 18a by an oblique fold line 31 .

Une telle forme de réalisation conduit à délimiter, en position pliée de l'article, une poignée de préhension 25 qui est située en partie basse du dos 4 par rapport à l'axe y-y' et qui peut offrir un dégagement 22 plus accentué en partie basse qu'en partie haute de la poignée.Such an embodiment leads to delimiting, in the folded position of the article, a grip handle 25 which is located in the lower part of the back 4 relative to the axis y-y ' and which can offer a more accentuated clearance 22 in part lower than in the upper part of the handle.

La fig. 11 montre une autre forme de réalisation possible dans laquelle les parties 16a, du type décrit ci-dessus, se trouvent inversement réalisées. Fig. 11 shows another possible embodiment in which the parts 16a , of the type described above, are inversely produced.
