These body components are hollow, with a base surface (2/3), a cover surface (4, 5), two side surfaces (6/8, 7/9) and two endface surfaces (10/12, 11/13). (This covers the first two claims; there are 185 further claims).

Description

The invention relates to a multi-purpose handheld device of the type Pocket knife. "Like a pocket knife" here means that Device should be small, compact and pocket-sized and when not in use Condition no tips or cutting exposed, which could result in injury being able to lead.

Pocket knives are often made using a variety of tools Equipped: Not only with large or small knife blades, but also with files, screwdrivers, saws and so on. Most are the tools articulated on a body and are overcoming one Spring preload folded out into its use position. Occasionally even small tools can be completely removed from the body.

Some types of tools are on or in a pocket knife can only be accommodated if it is functional Compromises are made. For example, you can find pocket knives with foldable scissors, but then only one for most Has too weak construction purposes and for many applications too is small.

The object of the invention is a multi-purpose handheld device according to Art to create a pocket knife that accommodates tools allowed, which so far only poorly or not at all in pocket knife form were realizable. The term "tool" is in the broadest sense understand and should include all conceivable devices or utensils, that are used as aids at work and in leisure time.

For example, to carry out office and presentation work a variety of different devices, devices and hand tools, such as staplers, punches, scissors, magnifying glasses, letter openers, Adhesive tape dispenser and much more used. As a rule, each Tool or utensil only provided for a single function. This is not in an office where the required space is available particular disadvantage.

Often, however, these utensils are outside of a fixed one Workplace, for example in production or storage halls, when traveling in the plane or train, in the hotel, but also during meetings, Lectures or in schools, colleges and libraries.

For utensils that can be moved in opposite directions the controls could be stored in the components be arranged so that they run together. This could ensure that only one of the two utensils is extended is.

Alternatively, the controls could be staggered so that they move past each other and so the exit ways of the utensils could be enlarged. The controls are preferably in the area of the guide processes with the utensils connected and at the same time to activate or deactivate the locks intended. For this purpose, the controls could, for example, as Pushbuttons or slide switches designed or provided with such be by means of which the detents can be activated or deactivated are.

A central locking system could also be provided, which the utensils as a whole or in groups in the storage positions blocked. This additional lock could be used as a separate control trained or for example with the lock button be combined. There is also the possibility for suitable ones Utensils such as a magnifying glass, measuring stick or pointer or writing utensils, provide recessed grips on which they are gripped and in their positions of use or completely pulled out of the components can.

Certain utensils, such as a measuring stick or writing utensils, are preferably removably housed in the components. Therefore canals can be provided in which the utensils are inserted and can be locked or locked. Such channels can extend over the entire length of the components and via insertion slots be accessible at the end faces. Can also from the Components fold-out compartments are provided.

They can be used to replace worn or defective utensils also be designed so that they are releasably connected to the guide extensions are. For this purpose, the guide extensions are preferably as far from the Movable components that the exchange of utensils outside of Components is possible. The utensils can be in one or in two components with their broad sides parallel to the cover or base areas and / or to the side surfaces in the same or opposite Directions can be folded and / or moved in any, the respective Equipment requirements of the handheld device in the appropriate combinations Components are arranged.

The utensils can be fixed or replaceable blades or also include so-called "cutter blades" with breakable blade sections, the latter preferably mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the component and can also be locked in the intermediate positions of the process path are. The blades are cut in the for optimal handling Use position preferably directed against the top surfaces of the component. in which they are stored.

The utensils can also use a staple remover, too referred to as a "staple remover", which preferably comprises one Has a U-shaped cross section, the base area and the Taper both lateral leg surfaces towards the free end. The outer end of the staple remover could also be used as a screwdriver be trained.

The staple remover is preferred for best handling arranged directly on the inside of a top or side surface, beveled on its outward base and with the leg surfaces directed against the longitudinal axis of the component, in which he is stored.

The staple remover is preferably longitudinally displaceable in the component guided, preferably at the opening slot for the staple remover a scraper is arranged, which with the U-profile of the staple remover combs and strips the staples when inserted.

The utensils may further include scissors, which are preferred with the shear blades folded in one of the components is stored.

In the preferred embodiment with a near an end face arranged joint, the axis of rotation transverse to the longitudinal axis of the Component and runs parallel to the base or top surface, are Shear blades are preferably arranged in the component so that their broad sides parallel to the side surfaces of the component and the scissors axis parallel run to the axis of rotation of the joint, the scissors preferably in the component in which the joint is arranged.

To use the scissors, the blades are so far an opening slot arranged in the end wall near the joint moved out of the component until the scissor axis and the axis of rotation of the joint essentially one above the other or concentrically to one another lie. The blades are beyond the scissors joint Scissor shafts extended. One of the scissor stems is a guide extension trained and longitudinally displaceable in the component, while the second shear shaft when opening the shear blades in the Use position by a recess provided in the base in Moved towards the other component.

In the use position of the scissors, the second shear shaft for example, by a scissor spring, which the shear blades or -Shafts apart, or in operative connection via a coupling element held with the other component so that the shear blades through the movements of the components between the first and the second position can be opened or closed. It must be ensured that the second shear shaft to compensate for the movement geometry the component on which it is supported or with which it is coupled, remains longitudinally movable. When pushing back the first shear shaft the shear blade connected to the second shear shaft runs into the component on the closing edge of the opening slot directed against the top surface the front wall, whereby the two blades or - Shafts are folded up and so completely in their storage position can be pushed back into the component.

Alternatively, the components could of course also be inserted into the first position moves and only then the already folded Shear blades or shanks pushed back into the component become. Appropriate control means should preferably be provided that cut the shear blades in every relative position of the components can be decoupled and extended or retracted.

To ensure that the cut material does not match the Components collided, there are corresponding deflection edges on the shear blades and to provide corresponding curves on the end faces of the components, which lead the cut material past the components.

By shifting the pivot point of the shear blades over the In addition, the distance between the end faces and the deflection edges can be increased the shear blades are enlarged and the rejection improved. There could also be additional fixed or movable ones, preferably through the extension or insertion movement of the scissors can be activated or deactivated Repellant provided on the shear blades and / or on the components become. For example, the insertion slot for a punch be locked while using the scissors.

The slider for moving the scissors between the storage and the position of use is preferably arranged on the guide shaft, with a corresponding recess or Shortening is to be provided so that the shear blades are complete can be closed.

Alternatively, scissors could also be provided, which not activated by the relative movements of the components, but from one of the components can be pushed out or folded, and preferably when closed Components is operated by hand. The shaving blades are opened via a separate scissor spring, which Extending the scissors from the component can be deactivated. This could be about a separate locking member preferably arranged on the scissors or via the guide in the component or via control means, wherein then preferably the functions locking or unlocking the scissors in the outer position of use and opening or closing the shaving blades are coupled together.

A magnifying glass could be provided as a further utensil is preferably arranged in a plate-shaped holder, which with its broad sides can be moved parallel to the base or top surface stored in the component and through a front opening slot in their position of use can be shifted. The magnifying glass is preferred pushed out by a spring and by a locking arrangement which can be triggered at the end held in the component. In the management area is the Magnifying glass preferably forked or so that there is room for additional Utensils is created. The plate-shaped holder can consist of two There are sections, which have a transverse to the extension direction and pivot axis arranged parallel to the plane of the sections are connected, the outer section containing the magnifying glass, so opposite the component can be angled, which is the handling in particular in combination with a lamp arranged on the front surface significantly improved.

The utensils can also have a scale with a ruler and include template function, which is preferably loose in the components completely accommodated and for easy handling can be removed. An insertion channel can be provided for the accommodation be, which is preferably directly on the inside of one of the Cover surfaces is arranged and substantially over the length of the Component extends in which the scale with its broad side parallel is pushed to the top surface.

The scale can be adjusted by means of cams or a releasable lock held in the storage position in the component and on one front removal handle or with the help of an extension spring can be taken from this.

The utensils can also include a tape measure, which preferably around a perpendicular to the top or bottom surface Axle, rolled up in one of the components, and housed by one on the front or side surfaces provided opening slot the component can be pulled out. The measuring tape is preferably outside the travel of the slidable arranged on the side walls Utensils arranged so that the maximum width of the interior be used by the component to accommodate the measuring tape can. The tape measure can be used with a reel spring and a parking brake be provided, which is preferably arranged on the end face Key can be activated or deactivated.

Of course, there would also be the possibility to change the measuring tape by one axis perpendicular to the side or end faces, rolled up in the components to accommodate, especially if the parting line between the components are not in the middle or the components are in one another move in or over each other and thereby the necessary installation height for the vertically arranged measuring tape in one of the components Available.

In addition or as an alternative to the tape measure, a could also be used Adhesive tape dispenser can be accommodated in the components.

One could be used to hold the interchangeable adhesive tape rolls the components include a bracket with a hub on which the tape roll is rotatably mounted. The tape roll could be analog the installation variants for the tape measure can be arranged in the components.

To remove the tape would be in the appropriate place a side, end or top surface of the component, preferably with a passage slot provided with a tear-off edge. At a preferred construction could the tear-off edge on a movable with the Component connected tape holder can be arranged, for example could be unfolded from the component and the beginning of the tape moved so far out of the component that it can be gripped comfortably. The inside surface of the tape holder could be coated with a non-stick coating be so that the adhesive tape when unfolding the tape holder easily detaches from this. The tape holder could be inside and / or snap into outer position, or by spring force from one Position to be moved into the other.

The bracket could be used to replace the adhesive tape rolls an opening which can preferably be closed with a cover is accessible his.

Alternatively, the holder could be on a carrier, for example as far out of the component that the tape roll in the holder can be inserted or removed from it. Also the entire tape dispenser could be used out of the component unfolded or pushed.

A lamp could be used as a further utensil in the components Be housed, the light exit opening preferably on one end face.

The batteries needed to power the lamp could housed in a battery compartment located behind the lamp in the component which can be closed with a cover Opening, for example on the top surface, is accessible. The lamp could preferably be on the top surface near the light exit opening arranged electrical switch on and off become.

If the handheld device is equipped with a lamp and magnifying glass could in a preferred embodiment on a common or two adjacent end faces so that the space illuminated below the magnifying glass extended into the position of use can be.

With such a design, the lamp could also be directly in arranged the magnifying glass and / or automatically switched on when extending the magnifying glass become.

In addition or as an alternative to the lamp, a so-called "Laser pointer" (luminous pointer) housed in the components be, the light exit opening preferably also at one End face is arranged.

With a combined installation of lamp and "laser pointer" these are preferably side by side or one above the other in the same component arranged, provided with a common light exit opening, about a common power supply and fed via a combi switch, For example position 1: light on, position 2: push button for the Laser, operable.

A telescopic pointer could also be provided be, which preferably through an end opening one of the components can be pulled out, with an extension device can be provided by means of which the pointer rod so far is pushed out of the component until it can be detected.

The utensils can also include a stapler, thereby the functional elements are housed in both components. At a preferred embodiment is the stitching head in the first and the anvil in second component arranged.

The two components are preferred for this variant connected to each other by a joint near one end, whose axis of rotation is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the components and parallel runs to the base or top surface, the stitching head as well as the Anvil placed near the end faces opposite the joint are. To ensure that even at the maximum number provided Leaves the stitching head lies neatly on the item to be stitched and not components can be injured, the components are in the area of the free space for inserting the staple accordingly and the swivel arm on which the stitching head is arranged with a counter the tack-oriented inclination to arrange in the first component. The The stapling mechanism includes a staple magazine to hold the staple rod, which is movably guided in the first component. Preferably that is Clamp magazine mounted on the joint and concentric to the components pivotable. The clip magazine is held in place by a magazine spring Biased towards the second component and so far from the first Component moves that the staple driver over the height of the staple is extended out of the clip magazine.

The outer position of the clip magazine is indicated by a magazine stop limited, for example as a slide switch on the first Component or is arranged on the clip magazine and deactivated manually can be so that the first component and the clip magazine for insertion of the staple can be pivoted apart. alternative the path of the magazine spring could also be arranged in the first component Limit can be limited. This could cause a magazine stop to limit the external position of the clip magazine and the swiveling apart of the first component and the clip magazine for insertion a staple could work without inactivating the magazine stop respectively.

To improve accessibility to clip magazines in Inserting the staple could be the stop, which is the opening path the components are limited, can be deactivated. Furthermore, the opening route of the clip magazine is limited by a stop on the second component and the first component can be moved beyond this stop. In this embodiment, the spring force could preferably move the components from the first to the second position via the clip magazine are transferred from the second component to the first component. Depending on the design of the clip magazine, the could in this embodiment opening path of the first component beyond the clip magazine with a fixed or releasable stop.

In a preferred embodiment, the stapler is said to be inactivated can be. This is particularly necessary if more Utensils such as scissors or a punch in the handheld device are integrated, which are also due to the relative movements of the Components between the first and the second position are actuated. It should be ensured that the stapler when using Scissors or punches and of course when locking the components remains inactive among themselves. It is also an advantage if the additional high spring force of the magazine spring only when using the stapler is effective because otherwise it will also be used when using punches or scissors as well as when locking the components together got to. Depending on the type of inactivation mechanism, the overall height can also vary of the first component is significantly reduced and the device significantly be built more compact. The inactivation of the stapler is several Species possible. For quick and easy handling of the device, the Activation or deactivation of the stapler preferably on the Outside of the components arranged actuator take place. A advantageous arrangement results from the arrangement of the actuator in the end region of the first component opposite the joint near the stitching head. The actuator is advantageous designed as a pressure, slide or rocker switch, being on it care must be taken that the force vector is directed in this way when it is actuated is that this does not result in a closing movement of the opened device. The stapler is preferably activated for only one Single position. This ensures that the inactivation of the Stapler before locking the device or using other device functions, for example the punch or scissors, do not "forget" can be, of course, there is also the possibility that Form the inactivation mechanism so that the stapler after activation for several staplings remains active until it is over the actuator is deactivated. It would also be conceivable to use the inactivation mechanism to train so that between several functions, for example Stapler off, stapler on, single staple, could be selected. The Stapler mechanics should also be designed so that they can only be opened Device can be activated and an activation when the device is closed cannot be done, otherwise the stapler will open the next time the machine is opened would be activated, although this function may not be desired at all becomes. This could be the case, for example, by blocking the inactivation mechanism with the device closed. Furthermore should be ensured be that the device is accidentally locked - for example, by unintentionally moving the lock switch - is not possible when the stapler is activated. This is preferably done by closing and inactivating the mechanism so far against each other are secured that when the stapler is activated, the locking mechanism cannot be brought into the closed position. An advantageous one The solution arises if the closing mechanism is designed in this way is that the components are only locked in their closed position is possible.

In a preferred embodiment could be used for inactivation the stapler a magazine closure are provided, which is the staple magazine with the clamp driver retracted against the force of the magazine spring holds and locks in the first component. The locking takes place advantageously automatically after each individual use of the Stapler, and to activate the stapler, the magazine lock is manual solved. This will force the clip magazine Magazine spring moved from the first component to the magazine stop and pulling the staple driver out of the staple magazine that the staple rod can move up against the staple stop. The extension movement of the clip magazine could be done by a damping element be braked. Locked after single stapling the clip magazine is automatically in the first component. The inactivation the magazine is locked preferably via a stapler button, which on an outer surface of the component, for example on the the end face closest to the stitching head. In this preferred Embodiment, the magazine closure is biased by a spring and locks the clip magazine automatically after everyone Single-stapling. Only the deactivation of the magazine lock is done manually using the staple button before each stitch.

As mentioned, there is also the possibility that the automatic Locking of the clip magazine switched off manually and the Stapler can be switched for "single stapling" and "permanent stapling" could. In these versions with a lockable clip magazine it should be ensured that a new one is inserted in the clip magazine Clip rod remains distanced from the clip stop until the Staple driver is inserted into the staple magazine. For example via an additional or movable clamp stop take place by means of the staple rod from the effective range of the staple driver is held back until it has entered the magazine, and which, for example, by the relative movement between the clip magazine and the first component when inserting a new staple is activated or deactivated.

The stapler could also be inactivated by that the operative connection between the staple driver and staple rod directly is interrupted, for example by retracting the staple driver in the clip magazine is prevented by a locking device or the Bracket driver is movably arranged in the first component and for example by moving or folding away from an inactive to an active one Position can be adjusted, which also in addition to these Embodiments between "single stapling" and "continuous stapling" selected could be. The blocking element or the staple driver could also pass through a spring biased into or out of the active or inactive position each staple can be returned to this via a positive control and each only for a "single stitch", for example by means of a Stapler button, can be activated. In the sense of a kinematic reversal could of course also use the staple rod to inactivate the stapler the effective area of the stamp are moved to an inactive position.

Finally, the whole could be used to inactivate the stapler Stapler unit with the staple magazine and the one from the staple magazine extended staple driver by means of an actuator first component moved in and to activate the stapler from this be extended. The stapler anvil and, if necessary, the base of the second component from the effective area of the stitching head be mobile so that those protruding from the first component Parts of the stapler unit into two when you close the machine Can move the component in without the stapler being activated becomes. It is obvious that these embodiments, however, become one Increase the overall height of the device.

The clip magazine preferably has a U-shaped cross section and can be used as a one-piece stamped and bent part made of sheet metal be shaped. In a preferred construction, the open profile side is against the U-shaped profile in the front section of the clip magazine the top surface of the first component and in the rear, adjoining the joint Section, directed against the second component. The front one Part is intended as a receiving space for the staple while the rear section with a recess for example for one stamp guide arranged in the second component for a punch and with an activation device for the punch is provided. Because of this shortening of the receiving space for the staple becomes the loading slide preferably pressed against the clamp stop via a tension spring. A particularly compact design results when used a clock spring, which is stored in the loading slide and with its free End in the area of the clip stop is attached to the clip magazine.

The clip stop could be used to insert the clip rod also arranged movably on the clip magazine and can be pivoted away in this way, that the staple rod is inserted into the front of the staple magazine could.

Alternatively, the clip magazine could also be a so-called "Springfach" be trained. With this construction the staple magazine is is mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in an outer channel mounted on the joint and becomes a force when actuating a release element Ejection spring pushed out of the outer channel so far forward that the Clip rod can be inserted into the extended magazine from above. This could result in a possibility of opening the magazine or first component for filling staples, what the Stability and easy handling of the device significantly improved. ever the type of inactivation mechanism of the stapler must ensure that the spring box can only be triggered when the stapler mechanics activated and the end wall of the first component so far over the The outer channel is raised so that the spring compartment is below the front wall can extend. The jumping compartment is preferably triggered via one in the area of the end wall of the first component which is close to the joint arranged actuator, which on the side of the Opening spring and - if available - guided past the punch mechanism Bridges are in active connection with the jumping compartment. The bottom wall the outer channel must be set back as far as possible in the area of the stitching head be that the staple exit opening of the Magazine touches the magazine in front of the outer channel.

The stapler could also use a so-called "flat clinch" mechanism be provided with which over a first partial stroke of the components the staples are driven into the papers to be stapled and only then are bent over a second partial stroke of the components. To the device to be able to build as narrow as possible despite installing such a mechanism, can the magazine or the outer channel as close as possible to the main spring arranged bottom openings through which the in first component arranged transmission lever in the direction against second component protrudes downwards, this allows the transmission mechanism placed between the walls of the bearing block and thus from damage protected and optically shielded in the device.

The die of the stapler is preferably on the base arranged of the second component. Several matrices, for example for open or closed booklets, can be on a separate slide or rotating plate can be movably supported in the second component.

Between the clip magazine or the outer channel and the Side or top surfaces of the first component are preferably free spaces provided in which further, in particular longitudinally displaceable or fold-out flat utensils, such as knives, blades, Scissors, staple remover / screwdriver, scale or magnifying glass, housed can be. These can be on the first component and / or on the clip magazine or outer channel.

The locking mechanism for locking the components is preferred in the space between the stapler unit and the top surface of the arranged first component, the operative connection to the second component over, preferably past the side of the clip magazine or outer channel -guided coupling elements.

Finally, the utensils can also include a punch, the functional elements are also distributed over both components. In a preferred embodiment, the punch mechanism is preferred arranged in the second component and from the first component during movement is activated from the second to the first position.

The punch is equipped with only one punch, which one considerably simplified, smaller and compact structure of the hand-held device allows. In addition, the handheld device can be adjusted without any problems for the numerous internationally different standardized hole spacings used, and finally, less punching pressure is used for punching needs what especially when using the handheld device without Table pad is an advantage.

The punch could move between the components Always run the first and the second position because of the punch actuation no other applications of the handset are disturbed. Naturally the punch function could also be switched on and off.

The punch mechanism comprises a punch, which is preferred perpendicular to the base or top surface in one on the second component arranged stamp guide is stored.

The components are also suitable for equipping with a punch preferably near one end face via a joint connected, the axis of rotation transverse to the longitudinal axis of the components and runs parallel to the base or top surface, with the punch preferably between the joint and those opposite the joint End faces approximately in the center with respect to the longitudinal axis of the components and is located close to the joint.

The stamp guide advantageously forms together with the bearing block a common assembly, which in the area of the base is attached to the second component and in the direction of the extends first component, wherein in the first component or in the outer channel in Corresponding recesses must be provided in the clip magazine.

The punch is activated by the first one Component or through the clip magazine or the outer channel with which the punch can be brought into operative connection.

The active connection can be via a driver, for example via one in the punch as well as in the clip magazine or in the outer channel or cross bolts guided in the first component or via one each separate driver for pushing and pulling on one or more of these Parts are manufactured.

This variant has the advantage that the punch is positively controlled in both directions of movement and so too jamming of the punch when punching by pulling on the first Part can be easily loosened again. Also could be in this embodiment the perforated bolt as a stop to limit the opening path of the Components or the outer channel or the clip magazine are used. Finally wear is reduced in this embodiment, since the Hole punch runs with the stapler and scissors without spring loading. A reduction in the overall height can be achieved if the or the drivers are arranged above the punch guide. To decrease of the frictional forces caused by the power transmission the tilting moment occurring, the could Transmission of the forces, for example via a connecting rod or via a Ball mounted on the end face of the punch. The punch could of course also by a preferably in the stamp guide arranged compression spring are biased into the inactive position, so that only the activation of the stamp takes place via a driver would.

This could be the first component or outer channel and clip magazine pivoted beyond the outer stop of the punch be what in particular for inserting the staple in the staple magazine would be beneficial. The compression spring located on the punch could also serve to move the components from the first to the second position to move.

The punch mechanism further includes one in the second component arranged support platform, which is preferably parallel to the base or lies in their level. Between the platform and the stamp guide there is an insertion slot for the paper sheets to be punched. The insertion slot is on the two against the side surfaces as well as a side directed against the end faces of the components.

The frontal accessibility to the punch would be the same Arrangement of the punch in the components basically from conceivable both end faces, the structure of the device for the the two variants are different. The two are also different Variants regarding the user-friendliness of the punch.

The paper will be the opposite of the joint Push the end faces into the hole, so the two protrude Components mostly over the paper surface, which the handling of the Lochers without table support difficult. To damage paper sheets to avoid by pressing in the components should preferably a stop to limit the closing movement of the components when Punching or corresponding recesses on the side and front or Base areas of the components are provided. Preferably through appropriate advance of the punch be ensured that the Punching is complete before the base or side and end faces of the first component touch the surface of the paper it should be ensured that the punch is in the second position the components are fully extended from the insertion slot.

Should insert the paper sheets from near the joint lying end faces forth what the handling of the punch significantly improved, so the bracket in the form of a boom arranged on the stamp guide connected to the second component become. The corresponding ones are also in this embodiment Make recesses in the components to ensure that the paper sheets are not damaged when the components are closed can be. These recesses can be in the form of a step Paragraph.

A preferred embodiment of the device results when the openings provided for the punch and the stapler in a common Level and the same in the closed position of the device Have heights. The components could also be arranged so that in the closed position their base areas with a substantially the height of the slot for the hole punch are the appropriate distance apart and the stapler anvil and the platform for the punch in the Level of the base of the second component are arranged. The paper stop for the punch is advantageously by the two Sidewalls of the pedestal formed.

There is a passage opening for the Hole punch provided, which also serves as a punch die. Below The passage opening is a collecting space for in the second component the punching waste arranged, which one with a cover closable opening can be emptied. To overfill the catchment area to prevent the opening is preferably in the top surface of the second component and the cover is articulated and locked, that it automatically by the pressure generated in an overfill springs open. The cover is preferably with two latching positions secured so that they are not completely overpressure, but only opens up to the first stop position and thus the overfill condition signaled. This can result in accidental spillage of the punching waste be prevented.

The dimensions of the stamp guide and bearing block are chosen so that this assembly in the first position of the components in the rear section of the clip magazine, which is connected to the joint or outer channel can be accommodated.

For example, for the lateral alignment of the paper sheets at the above or below the slot End faces of the components markings are attached, which the Specify the position of the punch.

In a preferred embodiment, is in the range between Paper stop and opening for the punch, in the support platform a window is arranged through which the area of the rear Sheet edge of a sheet inserted into the perforated slot over an im second component arranged light guide is visible from the outside.

The window in the support platform preferably extends to Paper stop while between this window and the passage opening a support surface for the punch for stability reasons is to be provided.

The end faces of the light guide can be lenticular and are to protect against scratching or soiling the support platform or top surface is slightly recessed. On the opposite the support platform facing the end of the light guide or on A mark is made on the window of the platform, which marks the center marked the punch. Through a mark made on the leaf margin can precisely, easily, conveniently and quickly punch the holes be placed. It is understood that a corresponding device alternatively could also be accommodated in the first component. Also the handheld device could be provided with a leaf stop, which is preferably movably guided on the second component and variable the desired hole spacing can be set. The leaf stop could, for example, be rotatably supported in the second component and by a Storage position in which it is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis lies in the component, and the position of use transversely to the longitudinal axis be pivoted. The blade stop could have one or more arms Joints are foldable and / or extendable and, for example, concentric be articulated to the passage opening on the second component.

Finally, one could also set the hole spacing Hole template are used, which are held together with the paper sheets and is inserted into the hole together with these. The Hole template preferably has an L-shaped cross section and is in the middle of the sheet edges to be punched with the paper sheets in the Stop held. End stops can limit the travel of the hole template limit in the insertion slot. The holes are made in the two stop positions, which result in the desired hole spacing. For one The perforated template on the sheet edges can be 4-fold perforation a hole spacing to the outside. The hole template is preferably in a guide groove transverse to the longitudinal axis in the second component stored.

There are corresponding recesses in the area of the punch provided on the hole template; the center of the hole template can be used marked with a marker. In a preferred embodiment the scale is designed as a perforated template.

General structure.

The device presented here is a Multi-purpose handheld device, especially for office work. The device consists of a first component in the form of an upper shell 20 and a second component in the form of a lower shell 22. The shells face each other Bases 2 and 3, facing surfaces 4 and 5, side surfaces 6, 8 or 7, 9 and end faces 10, 12 or 11, 13. The The term "shell" already means that both components are larger or have a smaller number of cavities. The components can be made of metal or plastic; Mixed forms are also possible, for example Plastic covers placed on metal cores, preferably are snapped.

Upper and lower shell are connected by a joint and are pushed apart by a spring arrangement. pivoting movements both shells relative to each other allow the actuation of certain Utensils, in the present case scissors, a punch and one Stapler. Other utensils are in the cavities of the upper and lower shell and are pushed out of them for use or pulled out, if necessary completely removed.

The upper and lower shell lie with congruent contours of their Base areas 2, 3 on top of each other and form in the locked state a closed body in the shape of a pocket knife. The locked one Condition is secured by means of a double locking bar 24 which can be unlocked by means of a lock or unlock button 26.

A trough 28 is formed on the top surface 4 of the upper shell, in which there is a clip 30 which is attached to the upper shell by one is articulated at a small angle and allows the device to be moved in to hang a bag or the like.

A compartment can be provided in or under clip 30, e.g. For Adhesive tapes or adhesive labels.

The stapling mechanism (Fig. 1, 2, 4)

In the upper shell there is a clip magazine, the stamp, a magazine spring and a safety button. The two bars of the closure mentioned above are located on both sides of the clip magazine.

The stitching die or anvil is located in the lower shell 32, in a known manner with an embossing for inside stitching and one provided for outside stitching and against bias of a spring 34 from a form-fitting recess of the lower shell can be pulled out and rotated.

The clip magazine 36 is about the same joint relative to the upper shell can be swiveled like the upper shell relative to the lower shell. It deals is a stamped and bent part that is three relative to the upper shell Can take positions: When the device is closed, it will move into the Upper shell pressed in (FIG. 2), and one on the safety button 38 attached spring-loaded hook 40 engages and holds the magazine. For each subsequent stitching operation, the safety button is first of all to actuate so that the magazine is pre-tensioned by the magazine spring, here a leaf spring 41, comes into the working position. This Working position is defined relative to the upper shell by a bolt 42; in this position the front bracket is one Clip bar 44 under the stamp and over the selected die stamp.

The clip magazine is in its front receiving the clips Part 46 formed with an upwardly open U-profile, in that the brackets can be inserted from above. In its rear connecting section 48 to the joint, on the other hand, it forms an open one at the bottom Hollow profile to leave room for the punch mechanism. For this reason it would be difficult to add a feed compression spring behind a clamp rod 44 accommodate; a clock spring is therefore used here, the free end is fixed near the bracket stop 50 and the is rotatably received in the feed block 52.

The latch is used to reload a fresh staple 44 42 moved, and the magazine pivots in the dot-dash line in FIG. 1 indicated position in which the magazine is accessible from above.

A stiffening bead 54 is stamped in the connecting section 48, whose function will be explained later.

Joint and punch mechanics (Fig. 1, 3, 4)

There is a one-piece stamped and bent part on the lower shell mounted, which forms a stamp guide 56 and a bearing block 58. In the straight guide punch 60 sits with the punch guide and lies with it its collar 62 under the action of a return spring 64 on the inside of the cover plate 66 of the stamp guide. Is located under the stamp guide an insertion slot 68 for a sheet to be punched, and aligned with a punch die 70 is provided for the punch. Located under this there is a chamber 72 for receiving the punching waste. An emptying takes place by opening the flap 74.

If the upper shell is pressed against the lower shell, it hits Bead 54 on the top of the punch and actuates this means it shifts until it completely penetrates the die 70.

The bearing block 58 is formed by two parallel legs of the stamped and bent part formed which extend towards the ends of the shells. They are interspersed with aligned holes 76 that are congruent are to like holes 78 in the connecting portion of the Staple magazine. A hinge pin 80 passes through the pairs of holes 76/78, if they have been brought to cover, as well as the block 79 of the Upper shell and protrudes beyond holes 78 on both sides. On this cantilever Stub spring 80 is set with its wrap, and her arms are supported on the upper and lower shell. The bowls are therefore biased in the opening direction. Your opening angle is limited by interacting stops on the upper and lower shell.

sliding utensils (Fig. 3, 5 to 9)

In chambers or channels 82, 84, 86, 88 of the upper shell, which are used for Bottom shell and open on each end are utensils housed out of the associated front opening can be pushed out. Channel 82 takes a knife blade (or one Letter opener) 83; Channel 84 receives scissors 85; Channel 86 takes a staple remover or stapler 87; Channel 88 takes you so-called cutter 89 on, that is a cutting device with breakable Part blades. All four utensils have in common that they are guided Shafts connected to an operating element in the form of a sliding button 90 are. The four buttons are in pairs in the longitudinal grooves of the upper shell out and are guided by springs 92 to the outside in notches or detents 94 pressed. Letter openers, scissors and staplers have only one inner and an outer click position, one for each snap-off blade during the cutter Has rest position.

• die auf derselben Seite des Klammermagazins untergebrachten Utensilien aus entgegengesetzten Enden des Geräts ausgeschoben werden,
• wobei der Schiebeknopf des einen Utensils den Ausschubweg des anderen begrenzt, und
• ein ausgeschobenes Utensil den Ausschub des jeweils anderen Utensils blockiert.

It can be seen in particular from a comparison of FIGS. 5 and 6 that

• the utensils housed on the same side of the clip magazine are pushed out from opposite ends of the device,
• wherein the push button of one utensil limits the extension path of the other, and
• an extended utensil blocks the extension of the other utensil.

Apart from the fact that the cutter after wear of the last A fresh strand of blades can be used - in Fig. 8 indicated at 96 - letter openers, cutters and staplers have none Peculiarities on.

scissors (Figs. 5 to 7)

The scissors 85 is the third alongside the punch and the stapler Utensil that is actuated by squeezing the two shells 20 and 22 becomes.

The scissors consist of four parts: guided blade 100, with the associated slide button is connected, pivot pin 102, articulated Blade 104, and scissor spring 106. Each blade has a cutting part this side and an actuating part beyond the scissor joint, whereby the actuating part of the blade 100 is also the shaft thereof. Between the actuating parts, the scissor spring 106 is arranged and has the tendency to spread them apart; but that is only possible if the scissors are pushed out into their working position because until then the blade 104 abuts the bottom of the channel 84 with its cutting part. In the working position of the scissors, its pivot pin is at least approximately aligned with the hinge pin 80, and the articulated Blade 104 is by the pressure of the scissor spring 106 with the Base area 3 of the lower shell 22 held in contact. If the scissors is retracted by means of its sliding button, the closes Scissors automatically by the blade 104 running onto the upper shell 20.

Pull-out utensils (Fig. 1, 2, 8, 9)

The lower shell 22 also contains utensils. In Fig. 1 recognizes a magnifying glass with lens 120 and holder 122, which is in a recess 124 is housed. One projects in the inserted position (FIG. 2) Finger engagement recess 126 slightly over the contour of the lower shell 22 out.

In the space under the joint, the lower shell contains a tape measure 130. In a manner known per se, the tape is on one with a Self-locking and biasing spring 134 provided hub 132, where the self-locking is released by pressing the trigger 136 and that Tape measure is drawn in. An incision is made in the retracted position 138 of the lower shell, the end of the measuring tape (FIG. 2).

Stationary utensils (Fig. 1, 2, 13)

In the lower shell there is a lamp 140 that turns off Button cells 142 or rod cells 144 (Fig. 13) is fed. The desk 146 is under the magnifying glass; the light enters through transparent, in the body of the. Lower shell inserted window 148 out. In the embodiment according to FIG. 13 there is also a small lamp a miniature laser arrangement with associated optics 150, namely a so-called laser pointer, which serves as a "pointer". The Switch 146 then of course has three positions: off, lamp on, Laser pointer on. The battery is replaced by the flap 152 allows.

Removable utensils (Fig. 3, 10)

You usually find a ruler in an office, usually with a division in millimeters and / or inches and then as Scale is to be designated. By its nature, such a yardstick should be not be firmly or movably connected to the handheld device. In the embodiment it is provided that the scale 160 from a chamber 162nd is removable. This scale is also advantageously used as Hole template provided:

The lower shell is over the punch die with a flat one Groove or straight guide 164 is formed, and the scale has one L-shaped cross-section with a longer leg 166 (which also with the indexing 168 is provided) and a shorter leg 170. Der longer leg is complementary to the straight guide 164 and dimensioned slidable in this. The scale has stop lugs at both ends 172. In addition, it points in the middle of the shorter leg 170 a triangular notch 171 on both stops 172. Finally there are two punch matrices 174 worked into the scale, matching the punch. If the scale with one or the other stop lug 172 on the lower shell 22 abuts, is the nearest perforated die 174 congruent with the perforated die 70 in the lower shell. The distance of the Both perforated matrices 174 correspond to the usual ones in the respective country Default.

A sheet 176 to be punched is now with its edge on the shorter leg 170 brought into contact with the middle of this edge aligned with the triangular notch 171. With the first stop lug in The first perforation takes place on the lower shell; then leaf 176 and scale 160 recorded together and moved along the straight line, until the other stop lug comes to rest and the second Punching is carried out. So although there is only one punch, you can still use the handheld device to perform double punching with a given Make the hole spacing.

Alternative punch mechanics (Fig. 11)

The punch mechanism described so far is not necessarily optimal in handling, because the two shells over the hole to be punched Protrude paper and therefore can not be fully recorded. Prefers is therefore the design according to Fig. 11, in which the sheet to be punched is inserted from the other side. It is understood that the design of the bearing block is to be adjusted accordingly and the insertion slot 180 to be provided by a gradation on the upper and / or lower shell is. The template 160 is then of course to be inserted mirror-inverted, as indicated in Fig. 11.

Alternative utensil storage (Figs. 12 and 13)

In the embodiment described so far, the utensils Knives, scissors, staplers and cutters all in the upper shell 20 accommodated. This shortens the possible extension path due to the emergence the sliding buttons against each other and causes an unnecessary Widening of the upper shell, because you can have two of these four utensils in the upper shell, the other two in the lower shell, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13. The corresponding slide buttons 190 run past each other. While in Fig. 1 to 11 the Upper shell is significantly higher than the lower shell, are in the embodiment 12 and 13 both about the same height.

In this variant, the holder 122 of the magnifying glass is one Hinge 121 provided so that the magnifying glass can be angled to to inspect an object illuminated by the lamp 140.

Alternative utensil (Fig. 14, 15)

It is understood that the selection of those housed in the handheld device Utensils here are done quite arbitrarily and largely depends on the intended use. So you can, for example, where the tape measure is housed, instead an adhesive tape dispenser provide as shown in Figs. 14 and 15.

A hub 200 is molded onto the lower shell, onto which a Adhesive tape rolls 202 can be put on after a resilient or lockable flap 201 has been opened. An exit slot 204 allows the adhesive tape to pass through. Slot 204 becomes the top bounded by the free edge of a flap 208 with teeth 206 which the adhesive tape is tearable. The remaining end of the strip sets then on the bead 210. Pulling the flap 208 outwards can to grasp this end of the strip; it forms when the flap is closed a loop whose tendency to attach to the inside of the flap can be minimized by using Teflon or the like is coated.

The following drawing figures show a preferred embodiment with some variations.

The device has an upper shell 300 and a lower shell 302, however, these names are only used to distinguish the two shells chosen because a certain location in the room is not intended for use is. The two shells are essentially mirror-symmetrical to one another opposite and each have rounded contours that are symmetrical to a longitudinal plane and to a transverse plane. One of the bowls can be flattened on the outside so that the device, if you put it on a table, you can't rock it.

The two shells are separated by a circumferential slot, the shells from one another at an end V referred to as "front" are movable away to the stapling mechanism in the operating position bring, while on the end H designated "rear" the insertion slot E for the punch. At this end the top shell is with bevel A so that the paper to be punched can be used even then can be inserted when the device is open. On the face (front and rear) the outer contour of the shells tapers very much strong. The side surfaces S are recessed and essentially flat. The The contour of both shells is designed so that it can be comfortably used with one hand and without Putting on a mat can be punched and stapled while the shells in the locked state work well as a handle for a tool in your hand. The apparatus includes a number of those shown in Figs. 16 and 17 Utensils as well as others that are only in the course of the description be made clear. Inside the closed in Fig. 16 and 17 illustrated device are a stapler and a punch intended. There are also: a knife 304, a cutter blade 306, a pointer 308, a magnifying glass 310, a staple remover 312, one Scissors 314 and a tape measure 316. Instead of the pointer, you can also use a so-called laser pointer can be provided. Knife, cutter blade, scissors and staple remover are pushed from inside the Device moved to the outside and withdrawn again.

18 to 20, the basic structure of the Detect device. A metallic "skeleton" with a top 320 and a lower part 322 forms the receptacle for or parts of the stapler and Punch and delimit spaces to accommodate the other utensils. Top and The lower part is each with a plastic cap attached at suitable places Mistake.

There are three controls in the top cap 324: One Main button 326 for locking and unlocking the upper and lower part, a stapler activation button 328 and a magazine release button 330.

A magnifying glass release button can be seen in the lower cap 332 334, two microswitch buttons 336, 338, one unlock button 340, a flap 342, through which access to a battery compartment is released a light guide 344 and a flap 346, which is the emptying the chamber 348, in which the waste punched out by the punch reach. The tape measure 316 is equipped with the usual return mechanism (not shown) and with a brake lever 350 that manually into a Release position against the bias of the spring 351 is displaceable. As can be seen in FIG. 19, the knife 304 receives Channel 352 spanned almost the entire length of the device during the Channel 354 for cutter blade 306 is only about half as long; this creates space for the diameter of the tape measure 316 that way an extension length of e.g. Can get 100 cm. 19 are still the two button batteries 356 and a light 358 can be seen while the laser pointer 360 is located behind the microswitches 336, 338.

With reference to FIGS. 21 to 24, the stapler should first to be discribed. It is a so-called "Flat clinch" stapler, that is, one in which the Staple is driven into the paper to be stapled and only then when the staple driver has reached its end position, the free staple ends be thrown. Fig. 21 shows the device in closed and locked condition. The main spring 362 tensions the upper part and lower part in the opening direction. Fig. 22 shows the open device, but in the the clip magazine is not yet in the operating position. 23 is the staple cartridge is released and in Fig. 24 is the staple carrier ejected.

Starting from Fig. 23, the sequence of stapling will be explained become.

Press the 328 button to ready the stapler been made. The button is hinged at 364 and is held by the leg spring 366 biased to its rest position, in which it has two hooks 368 over two - shown in Figure 25 - engages 430, the are laterally attached to the outer channel 370, in which the bracket support 408 is performed. The outer channel is released when the button is pressed and comes into position under the action of leaf spring 372 23, where it ends with lugs 374 in the staple driver 376 inserted slots strikes. The staple driver or the knife 376 is formed in one piece with the leaf spring 372.

It should be noted that in the position shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 the Outer channel 370 abuts one end 380 with a stop 380. at Accordingly, actuation of the button 328 does not move the outer channel below, but the top 320 up; since the device in general is not supported, but held freely in the hand, by the quite strong leaf spring 372 produced jerk partly from the main spring 362, partly dampened by the hand itself. A separate damper can can be provided optionally. A transmission double lever 384 for the flat clinch mechanism can be swiveled around a bearing 386 and by a spring biased so that its longer ends 387 are always attached to the Put on top 320.

In the lower part 322, the stapling anvil 388 is supported on a web 389 and anchored to it. His work area is essentially flush with the top of the base. In the shown in Figure 23 The anvil 388 is completely peripheral from one position Plastic platform 390 surround that around a hinge attached to the lower part 392 pivotable and by a compression spring 394 against a (not shown) Stop is pressed. The stage is based on one Locking angle 396 from, which in turn parallel to the top of the lower part is slidable and from a compression spring 398 in contact with the Anvil 388 is held. The part of stage 390 surrounding the anvil lies with its top by the length of the staple legs higher than that Work surface of the anvil.

If a stapling process is to take place, one is to be stapled Papers in the gap between the lower and upper part and closes that Device. The stitching head comes to sit on the ones supported on the stage Papers so that he closes against the force during the further closing movement the leaf spring 372 is pressed back into the upper part. Here comes the Clamp driver take a clip out of the clip holder and into it Papers. As a result, the transfer lever 384 is pivoted; his Swivel position is therefore representative of the angle between the outer channel and top. If the lever has reached a position accordingly the complete pushing out of the clip by the clip driver, he has the upstanding leg 400 of the locking angle against the Force of its bias spring 398 so far that the stage 390 the Support is withdrawn: It is suddenly pressed down by the upper part, and the free ones that protrude beyond the inserted papers Legs of the clip are flipped over. The outer channel is caught automatically back into the hook 368 of the button 328. For each Therefore, this button must be pressed again. It understands yourself that this is not mandatory: you could, for example, a rest provide for the button to release it for multiple staplings to keep.

In the outer channel, a slide rod 402 is mounted on the a thrust spring 404 is seated, which in the bracket support via the slide 406 408 contained parentheses. If you solve one more Lock, detailed below, spring 404 pushes the Bracket carrier 408 out of the outer channel 370 so far that you can can pull out and load with a fresh staple; this Position is shown in Fig. 24.

Outer channel, bracket support, slide rod, slide and The staple magazine together form the staple magazine.

The kinematics are enlarged again in FIGS. 23a to 23c shown unlocking the clip magazine.

24a to 24c is the interaction of the unlock button 330 for the clip holder with its fork-shaped extensions shown; small buttons sit on the button 330 which can be pivoted about the joint 331 Bolt 333 which, when the button is pressed, comes out of the hook 434 of the bracket support be lifted out and thereby release the latter. At the The hooks snap back into place automatically on. The key 330 is moved by the spring 335 into its rest and latched position biased.

The described deactivation of the stapling mechanism serves primarily to avoid that with every other actuation of upper and Lower shell, for example when punching or operating the scissors, a clamp get lost. The selected design, in which the outer channel is in the upper part is sunk, is advantageous in so far as that hard stapler spring 372 is inactivated, which otherwise the actuation of the Lochers or the scissors would counteract. In addition, that will Device compact when closed. But of course there are others Ways to Inactivate the Stapler: Relocate the Staple Driver so that it is no longer on a clip in the magazine hits, blocking of the magazine feed, blocking of the relative movement between the upper part and the clip magazine, sinking the upper part and the magazine so far in the upper shell that the driver no longer reaches the anvil, and finally moving the anvil in such a way that in the closed position the tip of the staple remains free.

Using the figures 21-24, the function of the punch should now are explained. Usual office punches are with two or more punches, adjusted to a certain division of the storage mechanism, while the device according to the invention has only one punch. Because the device is primarily for use outside of your own Offices, you will use the punch function, albeit a folder is available in which the relevant paper is to be filed. The The user then places the paper to be filed on the storage mechanism and marks e.g. with a pencil the places where holes are required are, directly on the edge of the sheet. You could be outside of that Attach an arrow or the like to the center of the punch to mark. Because of the relatively large distance between the punch from the outer contour of the device where such a mark is attached would lead to inaccuracies. Therefore it is envisaged that the sheet to be punched (or sheets) with the mark down is inserted into the slot 410, the light guide 344 making it possible to see the mark from the outside; the light guide is with one Provide arrow or the like, which is aligned with the punch axis is. It is understood that the light guide is not necessarily from below to the stamping platform, because in one variant it could also be from sticking out on top of the paper (the terms "top" and "bottom" like already explained refer only to the graphic representation, but not on the position of use of the device). In principle, instead of of the light guide 344 can also be provided simply by a hole that you could see on the inserted paper. However, it is preferred that Form light guide from transparent plastic, preferably its cross section increases outwards to protect against Scratches are slightly sunk in both ends. On one or Both ends could have lens-shaped curvatures with an enlarging effect The cross section of the light guide is preferably rectangular.

The punch 412 is in a perforated bracket 414 and one Bore or a punch hole 416 one to be described later in detail Böckchens 418 in a straight line. The power transmission to the stamp 412 is done by an embossed tongue 420 of the top while it is from the outer channel is withdrawn upwards; for this he is with one Snap ring 422, inserted in a groove of the stamp, provided. This Construction saves space compared to the conventional design, at which the stamp is provided with a return spring.

Fig. 25 shows an exploded view of the "skeleton" of the device Cap 324 and lower cap 332 are plastic parts, preferably injection molded from impact resistant plastic while the rest of the parts of the skeleton preferably made of metal or chrome steel as stamped and bent parts are made. The upper part 320 is triple on the right side Angle bent so that there is a middle section and sideways adjoining pairs of parallel flanks 424/425, 427/429 result, which the guide channels of the movable tools (scissors and staple remover). The middle flat section is with recesses and deformations, the purpose of which will be explained later. The inner flanks 424 and 427 are to the rear ("rear" the hole-side end) is extended and with aligned bearing holes Mistake. The outer channel 370 has an inverted U-shaped cross section and is provided with an angled tongue 426 on which the Slide rod 402 is attached; at the front end are inward protruding tabs 401 to support the bracket support. A breakthrough 428 allows the punch to pass through after it is inserted of the plunger 422 pushed on above the opening, see above that he come into operative connection with the tongue 420 formed on the upper part can to press the punch. The pins 430 cooperate the staple release button 328 together. The extension to the rear of the both U-legs are provided with bearing bores 432.

The bracket bracket 408 is U-shaped in cross section, and its U-legs are extended to the rear and provided with hooks 434 that interact with the bolt 333 of the button 330, as explained above.

The Böckchen 418 is another stamped and bent part. It supports the trunnion 436 around which the outer channel and the upper part are pivotable. The bearing pin 436 is in projecting cheeks 440 arranged under which there is a space for inserting holes to be punched Papers located. The vertical edges at the end of this free space form the stop 458 for placing the papers. The cheeks are connected by a cross plate 442, provided with the lower punch guide and arranged above the paper slot. The bracket 414 is attached to the cross plate, e.g. spot-welded. The lug points a foot part 444 by means of which it is centered in the lower part, where it is also by means of spot welding or clinching is attached. The design of the top edges of the lugs will be described below in connection with the locking mechanism.

The lower part 322 consists of two reversely U-shaped angled Sheets, of which the upper bracket 446 the die hole 448 for punching, a recess 450 for the passage of the light guide 344 and the insertion of the lug foot 444 and as a passage opening for the spring 362 and an opening 452 into which the stage 390 is displaceable. The design of the angled legs 453, 455 will be explained later in connection with the relocatable utensils.

The lower sheet metal angle 454 is e.g. by spot welding It has an opening 456 for the passage of the Punching waste from the punch and the mounting of the light guide, a depression 438 for supporting the main spring 362, mounting holes 460 for the Lug foot and an opening 462 corresponding to opening 452 The main spring 362 is supported in the depression 438 (FIG. 22), the other end of which is on the outer channel between the punch and the Tongue 426 supports; the spring is so short in relation to its diameter that no special measures have been taken to prevent the spring from buckling need to be. The two openings 464 in the upper sheet metal angle and 466 in the lower sheet metal angle allow the vertical to pass through bent part 400 of the locking bracket 396. The hardened steel existing anvil 388 is pressed into an insert 468, which in turn pressed with the lower sheet metal angle 454 or connected in some other way The lower sheet metal angle is narrower than the upper one, so that between the angled legs 457.459 of the inner and 453, 455 of the outer Sheet metal angle each have a guide channel for receiving additional slidable Tools (knife, cutter) is limited. The lower sheet metal angle has an incision 470 in the angled leg 459 that frees up the required lateral space for the tape measure.

From the above explanation it follows that the upper part one of the angled ones on both sides of the space required for the stapling mechanism Flanks limited channel, and that also the lower part has channels delimited on both sides by the pairs of legs.

It can be seen that both in the upper shell and in the lower shell the exposed visible outer side surfaces of the metal parts Form bends that limit the inner channels for the utensils and shield them from the outside. At the same time, the Stability of the device increases and a minimization of the width of the components can be achieved.

With reference to FIGS. 26 to 30, it will now be described as in this embodiment, the two shells together locked and unlocked. When the device is closed - Fig. 28 -, the button 326 protrudes slightly from the upper shell Unlocking first pressed in against the force of a spring tongue 472 and then moved backwards, i.e. towards the hole punch. The tongue 472 is formed on a leaf spring 474, which is on the top of the upper part 320 is arranged and there of overlapping tabs 475 is held and managed. Overhangs 476 on the upper edges of the lug 418 engage in the locked state (FIGS. 28 and 30) via lateral tabs 465 of the leaf spring 474, which when the Release the button in the opening direction from the overhangs. When relocating the leaf spring overflowed with them, at their ends with a downward-facing tab 478 on the top molded tines 463 (marked in Fig. 25) so that the leaf spring only can assume two stable positions: locking or unlocking end position. At the end facing away from the key 326, a tongue 480 is cut out, which is angled downwards and in the unlocking end position in one Recess 479 of the upper part 320 engages. The leaf spring 474 can, as soon as the device is opened, do not return to the locking end position be moved. Only when the two shells in the in Fig. 27 have been brought into the closed position, raise the to Lugs molded cams 482 the tongue 480 so far that they from the recess 479 is released and the device by moving the button back can be locked; the second recess for the second cam 482 equalizes the lifting of the tongue 480. The solution presented here is preferred for its simplicity. Alternatively, you could dispense with the lock and instead an automatic lock provide on the lug, which takes effect as soon as the button 326 - also at opened device - would be moved to the closed position. Then would be but it is necessary to press the staple release button 328 on the one hand, the main or lock key 326 to lock each other: if if the stapling mechanism is released, the device remains locked loosely deformed staple in the space above the anvil, and if the device locks itself automatically while there is still material between Upper and lower shell lies, they could spread so much that the device can no longer be opened. It should be noted that the buttons 328 and 330 are pressed when the device is closed can be that, however, when you release the clip magazine or Snap the clip holder back into place, i.e. when opening the device, that shown in Fig. 26 configuration shown is retained.

The trigger button 328 for the stapling mechanism is shown in FIG. 24 hinged at the top. However, the one shown in FIGS. 31 to 33 is preferred alternative construction. With her, the key movement does not follow "below", but "behind". The key 328 has a stop surface here 484, with which it rests on a counter surface of the handlebar 486, which biased by a U-shaped leaf spring 488 in the closed position is. The handlebar 486 is articulated at 490 and engages under hook 492 the pegs 430 of the outer channel. As before, the handlebars lock automatically with every stitching process.

In the through the flanks 424/425 or 427/429 in the upper part 320 and the legs 455/457 and 453/459 formed in the lower part 322 Lateral guide channels are the utensils knife, cutter, and stapler and scissors over appropriate molded or attached to these utensils overmolded guide shafts 493, 494, 495 and 496 made of metal or plastic or plastic-encapsulated metal. There the guides through the strongly rounded outer contours of the device in the Corner areas are very shortened, but especially in the extended ones Use the tool guides as stable as possible is necessary, the utensils are additionally via sliding blocks 497, which slide in guide slots 498, guided.

The sheet metal parts on both sides of the slots are in places where the stability it requires through inward pushing connections 499 bridged, but not the management function for the sliding blocks hinder. As will be explained later, the sliding block has the scissors a rear grip 524, and for this reason the scissors cannot be like the other three utensils, by pushing them into the relevant one Insert channel; the rear grip 524 is rather the one in FIG. 25 recognizable branch channel 433 used.

There are recesses in the guide shafts 493 to 496 of the utensils 503 provided in which a sliding bolt mechanism for moving and locking the utensils is arranged.

The slide bolts 318 can be connected via direct connecting webs 500 be connected to the sliding bolt mechanism, which corresponding longitudinal slots 505 required in the outer channel boundaries 425, 429, 453 and 455 on which also the latching latch 507 for the utensils can be arranged. Alternatively, such slots can also be made in the Base areas 511 provided by the upper and lower shell and - as in Fig. 38/39 shown - the connecting webs to the slide bolts in the area of Partition joint between the upper part and lower part U-shaped around the outer channel boundaries, e.g. 453, be led around.

Both in the inner and in the outer end position every utensil must be blocked; for deblocking, the user relocated the respective slide bolt in a direction perpendicular to the slot extension, either "up" or "down" (corresponding bolt latches 25) or "inward". With the former Construction, the device can be built a bit thinner, but it is for that the operation of the slide latches is less handy. For the simplest possible Operation is therefore preferred in a design in which the unlocking by pushing the slide latch inwards. So that the slide latch are not pressed in unintentionally, they lie approximately flush with the outer contour of the shell in the area in question.

34 to 37 is an example of the latter construction reproduced: The key 318 sits on a swiveling lever 500, on which a leaf spring 502 is formed, which is a bolt block 504 carries. By pressing the button on one side, the Block 504 released from the trap 506. The leaf spring ensures that the Block engages automatically in the end positions, made of plastic Key 318 is molded onto the metallic lever, e.g. molded, and the assembly is configured to pass through the slot from the outside 505 is mountable. In the construction shown in Figs. 38 and 39 the button 318 sits on a pawl 508, which is pretensioned by a leaf spring 510 engages (FIG. 38) and from this detent position in Release position is raised (Fig. 39). As you can see, point here the side walls, e.g. 453, no slots, but the connection between button and utensil is led around the outside of the free edge. In addition to these detents the individual utensils could, in particular for those with risk of injury if they are pushed out unintentionally, an additional safety lock can be provided, such Utensils blocked individually or in groups. In Figures 18 and 40 is schematically such an additional safety lock in the form a rocker 512 mounted in the lower part is shown, which is fork-shaped and with her arms 513 into the guide channels for the knife and the Cutter engages so that they are blocked in their inner end positions. The utensils are unblocked by pressing the 340 button can be pushed out using their slide latches.

Before explaining different types of scissors, some comments for all variants are useful. It is by no means indifferent in which channel the scissors are placed. The Scissors should be designed and placed so that the cut Material does not run onto the trays or even into the slot of the Lochers runs in, but is guided past the bowls. It will through specially designed guide edges that are tailored to the device shape initiated on the scissor blades. The clippings, above all Paper, however, sags after the cut, and the chosen arrangement the scissors in the top shell ensure that the path over the top shell, which are overrun by the clippings over a larger width must result in a slight difference in height and therefore the paper does not hit the side of the channel for the staple remover. Conversely, there is a great difference in height for overflowing the lower shell to overcome, but is the width at which the lower Paper toast, minor. It is understood that the arrangement of the Scissors and the formation of the guide surfaces on the scissor blades each must be coordinated accordingly.

41 to 45 show a first, preferred variant of the scissors, 44 and 45 sections along the lines A-A and B-B of Fig. 42 are. The scissors have a guided blade 520 and attached to it 521 hinged sheet 522. Sheet 520 is not only over a simple guide stone, like the other utensils, but guided over such with a rear grip, because sheet 520 does not adhere can support the outer wall of the guide channel. This engaging Stone 524 can be seen in FIG. 44. As from the back grip Side of sheet 520 connects to that Slide latch must be present, the sheet 522 is correspondingly short. It anchors itself automatically in the extension position on the lower shell, for example, as shown, by means of a spring-loaded hook 526, which comes off the lower shell when the scissors are inserted and in a corresponding recess 528 of the sheet 520. A breakthrough 527 in the lower shell allows the hook 526 to pass through; to opening 529 also serves. A wire spring 523 clamps sheet 522 in the Opening position. The scissors are squeezed and released of the two shells actuated. In order to reject the To reach clippings, the scissors can be extended so far that the Scissor joint is not congruent with the pin 436, so that when Cut a relative displacement between sheet 522 and the lower shell 302 must be provided.

In the variant shown in FIGS. 46 to 48, this is carried along Scissor blade 522 almost as long as the guided blade, however, so slim that the connection to the slide bolt Scissors can still be passed past it. The wire spring 530 tensions the two sheets in the opening direction and holds sheet 522 in contact on the lower part. Here, too, of course, what is carried away shifts Sheet 522 when cutting along the lower shell.

Another scissor variant is shown in FIGS. 49 to 53. Here the shear movement is not caused by shifting the shells generated, but the entrained scissor blade 522, preferably with the device closed, operated with the thumb while the fingers press the Hold the body. The sheet 522 is provided with a rotatable thumb catch 532, which at the same time in the push-in and push-out position both sheets together keeps locked. A wire spring 534 tensions both blades in the open position The 532 thumb rest can be manually turned in and out of the operating position brought or when reaching the outer end position automatically fold out while manually reset for insertion becomes. A spring biased locking lever 536 attached to the guided blade 520, secures the scissors in the extended position, after the thumb rest is folded up and thereby out of the extension 538 was swung out. When the thumb rest is folded down, it engages in the Extension 538, whereby the locking lever 536 is raised and thereby the locked shaving blades are released for insertion.

54-57 show details of the blade holder for the cutter blades. 54 and 55 show a first embodiment. The blade holder 552, which is preferably made of plastic, runs in one, preferably made of metal, support 550 with a C-shaped cross-section, which when the blade holder is extended under the action of a compression spring, with a predetermined route. The support serves as a support the blade holder and to hold the double blade 556 in place, which are plugged onto the pin 554 with their centering hole 558 can, if the blade holder 552 for replacing or rotating the double blade as far as the rest position of the support 550 is pushed, that the double blade is free and laterally removed or inserted can be. In this embodiment, three locking positions of the Pushbolt provided: retracted, cutting, blade change.

In the variant according to FIGS. 56 and 57, the blade is changed from the front. The double blade 556 snaps into the Blade holder 561 automatically in the chamfered pin 560. To pull out the pin 560 can be removed from the centering hole by means of button 562 558 and the blade can be removed to the front.

58 to 61 show details of the staple remover 312. He includes an insertion nose 570 that closes on the closed side removing bracket 571 between this and the stapled paper bundle is pushed. Laterally formed, progressively higher bars 572 push the clamp legs out of the paper. A notched tab 574 lies over the back of the clip and prevents the clip from becoming one-sided pulled and then laboriously removed manually. In the opening area the guide channel that receives the staple remover are two small pins 576 attached to either side of the tab 574, which hold the bracket wipe off the staple remover when pushed back into the top shell becomes. The staple remover is on its outer, against the outer channel boundary facing side preferably bevelled so that he flat on the device to be unclamped when the device is slightly inclined Paper rests, as shown in Fig. 70.

62 shows a variant in partial section in which a pointer 580 is provided instead of a lamp and / or laser pointer is, which consists of telescopically extendable sleeves. One in hers Rest position with the spring 590 pretensioned release button 592 engages behind the sleeves 594 and pushes them as far as they are actuated outwards so that the button 596 on the innermost sleeve is gripped and pulled out can be. Alternatively, the pointer could be on one Sledge can be arranged by means of a button, preferably against the force of a return spring that can be pushed out so far that its button 596 can be detected.

FIGS. 63 to 65 show the structure in the area of the magnifying glass in FIG bigger details. Legs 457 and 459 are two lobes 600 angled inward, which is the guide of the rear extension of the Loupe 602 serve. This extension is asymmetrically fork-shaped with a wider leg 604, which has a recess on the underside with a part-circular cross-section - that is where the Laser pointer 360 place -, and with a narrower leg 606. Between the batteries 356 are located on both legs; the feather that biasing the magnifying glass into the open position acts on the wider one Leg, but is not shown for clarity. about the locking button 334 is arranged by means of which the magnifying glass is held in the lower shell. Under the magnifying glass is a transparent insert 608, the passage of the laser or lamp light allows.

Figures 66 through 69 show details of chamber 348 for the Punch waste and access door 346 for emptying the chamber. in the Unlike office holes, this chamber has a relatively small volume, so the user may forget to close the chamber in time to empty. In order to avoid overfilling, it is provided that the user is signaled when the chamber should be emptied.

Fig. 66 shows the closed chamber in cross section. To the lower cap 332 is formed a chamber housing 620 to which the flap 346 is articulated. The flap is in turn with upstanding walls provided that together with the chamber housing prevent punching waste can get into the inside of the lower shell in an uncontrolled manner. The Flap 346 has a double snap lock. In its closed position snaps them with small cams 622 on the protruding edges 624 of the Chamber housing. The pressure load within chamber 348 will increase large, this first latch gives way and the door 346 opens 67, in which position the flap again is locked, namely with larger cams 626. Their holding force must be overcome manually. The slightly open position of the flap, in which no punching waste is released yet, signals to the user that the chamber should be emptied at the next opportunity. 68 and 69 show this emptying position of the flap 346 in the transverse or longitudinal section.

It goes without saying that instead of a fold-out closure a snap-in or sliding lid is also provided could be, but then would be the beneficial effect of signaling no longer exist.

Finally, Fig. 70 shows another embodiment variant, at which the upper shell is designed as a lever that between flanks the lower shell engages and when closed with its contours is flush. Front and rear slots allow the insertion of for stapling or punching papers.

It is understood that again the tack and punch parts, such as 21-24, are housed in the lever 700. In the Utensils are located on pages 702, 704, e.g. scissors 706, staple remover 708 etc.
