Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of stationary articles and it concerns, in particular, articles which can be described as binding or binder which, most often, are equipped internally with a mechanism suitable for securing documents, whether bound or not, which should be a specific order and preserve for ease of classification and consultation.
- Articles of the above type are generally designed to accept the classification of a large number of documents and are carried out for this purpose so as to have sufficient resistance during handling and storage.
- Such stationery articles are made of cardboard compact or made of thick plastic material and possess, generally in a substantially median 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 both sides of the latter, two dishes that may be of equal or different widths and heights.
- the back presents, generally, a large width, so that a binder, whose vocation is to be stored in a standing upright orientation, becomes, when loaded, difficult to grasp and manipulate with one hand, because of its weight.
- classifiers of the known type do not constitute articles that are easy to handle.
- a binder according to the preamble of the claim 1 is known for example from FR-A-2774631.
- the binder according to the invention comprises the features of claim 1.
- Fig. 1 is a developed plan view of a stationery article according to the invention.

- Figs. 10 and 11 are elevations representing, on a smaller scale, alternative embodiments of the means of the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows an article of stationery, of the binding or binder type, designated as a whole by the reference 1 .
- article 1 is constituted by a suitable sheet or sheet of raw material 2 which may be compact cardboard or, alternatively, a suitable plastics material, such as polypropylene.
- the sheet or plate 2 has two folding zones 3a and 3b which are made in any appropriate 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, relative to a common transverse axis of symmetry y-y ', may be equal, as shown in FIG. 1, or different.
- Fig. 2 shows that, in the case of producing the plate 2 from compact cardboard, the folding zones 3a and 3b may each consist of a creasing 7 marked in the thickness of the constituent raw material of the plate 2.
- Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment in which the plate 2 is constituted by two films 8 and 9 which enclose, by appropriate welds, webs 10 constituting the back 4 and the plates 5 and 6 .
- the films 8 and 9 are welded together, as designated by reference 11 in the portions corresponding to the boundary areas between the webs 10 , so as to form, as in the previous example, the folding zones, such as 3a and 3b .
- Article 1 is provided, preferably on the inner side of the back 4 , a mechanism 12 which is suitable for the establishment, maintenance and removal of documents to be classified and / or consulted.
- a mechanism 12 may be of the type with hoops and lever, with rings, or even with clamps, without the particular structure selected having an impact on the object of the invention.
- each folding zone comprises a path 15 which is constituted, at least, by a curved portion 16 , for example centered on the axis of transverse symmetry y-y ' and which offers its convexity vis-à-vis that belonging to zone 3b being located relative to the latter at equal distance relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' .

Abstract
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 stationary articles and it concerns, in particular, articles which can be described as binding or binder which, most often, are equipped internally with a mechanism suitable for securing documents, whether bound or not, which should be a specific order and preserve for ease of 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 known proposals of the prior art, whether lever and hoops, to rings or with 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.Articles of the above type are generally designed to accept the classification of a large number of documents and are carried out 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 general rule, such stationery articles are made of cardboard compact or made of thick plastic material and possess, generally in a substantially median 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 both sides of the latter, two dishes that may 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 filing capacity of documents, the back presents, generally, a large width, so that a binder, whose vocation is to be stored in a standing upright orientation, becomes, when loaded, difficult to grasp and manipulate with one hand, because of 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 the reason why it is generally planned to lower part, in the back an opening, for example circular, circled or not, which offers the possibility to introduce a finger of the hand to facilitate the grip and the Workbook support
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 provision, classifiers of the known type, as recalled above, do not constitute articles that are easy to handle.
Un classeur selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu par example de document FR-A-2774631.A binder according to the preamble of the claim 1 is known for example from FR-A-2774631.
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 articles of the type above, in order precisely to overcome the disadvantages of manipulation they are born, proposing only modifications which provide the user with gripping means improving the handling of such articles.
Pour atteindre l'objectif ci-dessus, le classeur selon l'invention comporte les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.To achieve the above objective, the binder according to the invention comprises the features of claim 1.
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 features are apparent from the description below with reference to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of examples not restrictive embodiments of the invention.

La fig. 4 est une perspective partielle montrant, à échelle différente, certaines caractéristiques ergonomiques de l'article selon l'invention et résultant de la conformation structurelle qui lui est conférée. Fig. 4 is a partial perspective showing, on a different scale, certain ergonomic characteristics of the article according to the invention and resulting from the structural conformation conferred on it.
La fig. 5 est une coupe prise selon la ligne V-V de la fig. 4. Fig. 5 is a section taken along the line VV of FIG. 4 .

La fig. 9 est une coupe-élévation prise, à plus grande échelle, selon la ligne IX-IX de la fig. 1. Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation taken, on a larger scale, along the line IX-IX of FIG. 1 .
Les fig. 10 et 11 sont des élévations représentant, à plus petite échelle, des variantes de réalisation des moyens de l'invention. Figs. 10 and 11 are elevations representing, on a smaller scale, alternative embodiments of the means 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 binder type, designated as a whole by the reference 1 . Conventionally, article 1 is constituted by a suitable sheet or sheet of
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 producing the
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
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, Article 1 is provided, preferably on the inner side of the
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 comprises a
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
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
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
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.The folding, as described above, also has another incidence which is more particularly demonstrated by FIG. 5. Indeed, because of the presence of the opposite
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 structural modifications above which occur as a result of the folding of the
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
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 that occurs has a second incidence which is more particularly highlighted by FIGS. 4 and 6 showing the side-by-side classification of several items 1 in folded condition and placed in a standing 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
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 resulting from the
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 the subject of a number of dimensional characteristics without departing from the scope 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 have made it possible to consider that, for an overall transverse width of the sheet or
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 can be retained to give the
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.Similarly, it may be provided to provide the rectilinear fold lines a height h relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry x-x ' 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 16 1 qui aboutit directement
aux bords 19 et 20.An alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 7 according to which each
La fig. 8 montre une autre variante de réalisation selon laquelle chaque
tracé 15 comporte une portion courbe convexe 16 2 qui se raccorde, sans la présence
des parties de courbure inverse 17, directement aux parties rectilignes 18. Fig. 8 shows another variant embodiment according to which each
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 provision of the invention which is intended to take account of the
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 expected to fasten the
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 has been mentioned the existence, for the constitution of the
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 R 1
qui est raccordé à une partie rectiligne 18a correspondante par une ligne de pliage 31
à caractère oblique.It can be envisaged also, as illustrated in FIG. 10, to make
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
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
