Abstract

The invention relates to a briefcase, comprising a case body consisting of a frame (1) made up of a base (2), an upper frontal wall (4) which lies opposite said base (2) and side frontal walls (3) between the base (2) and the upper frontal wall (4); a back wall (5) and a front wall (6) which can be opened. The aim of the invention is to provide a briefcase with improved handling characteristics. To this end, the front wall (6) of the base body, which rests on the back wall (5), forms an inclined surface which is sloped from the base (2) to the upper frontal wall (4) and has two laterally adjacent cover sections (7, 8) which are mounted in such a way that they can swing open about the edges pointing towards each other and extending in the direction of the height of the front wall (6).

Description

Aktentaschebriefcase
[0001] Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Aktentasche mit einem Taschenkörper, der aus einem von einem Boden, einer dem Boden gegenüberliegenden oberen Stirnwand und seitlichen Stirnwänden zwischen dem Boden und der oberen Stirnwand gebildeten Rahmen sowie aus einer Rückwand und einer offenbaren Vorderwand besteht.The invention relates to a briefcase with a bag body, which consists of a frame formed by a floor, an upper end wall opposite the bottom and side end walls between the floor and the upper end wall and a rear wall and an apparent front wall.
[0002] Bei Aktentaschen dieser Art bildet die Vorderwand einen Deckel, der am Boden des Taschenkörpers angelenkt ist, so daß dieser durch die Vorderwand gebildete Deckel einfach aufgeschwenkt werden kann, wenn der Taschenkörper auf seiner Rückwand aufliegt. Werden solche Aktentaschen in Ermangelung einer Tischfläche als Schreibunterlage oder als Auflage für Arbeitspapiere verwendet, indem der Taschenkörper beispielsweise im Sitzen auf die Oberschenkel aufgelegt wird, so ergeben sich Schwierigkeiten, weil die Rück- und die Vorderwand parallel verlaufen. Dies bedeutet, daß die Vorderwand des auf den Oberschenkeln aufruhenden Taschenkörpers bei einer üblichen Sitzhaltung vom Körper weg abfällt, wenn nicht die Knie angehoben und eine unnatürliche Sitzhaltung eingenommen wird. Außerdem wird das allfällige Öffnen der Vorderwand durch die aufliegenden Arbeitsunterlagen behindert, die beim Hochschwenken der Vorderwand um eine bodenparallele Schwenkachse umständlich festgehalten werden müssen.In briefcases of this type, the front wall forms a lid which is hinged to the bottom of the bag body, so that this lid formed by the front wall can be simply swung open when the bag body rests on its rear wall. If such briefcases are used in the absence of a table surface as a desk pad or as a support for working papers, for example by placing the bag body on the thighs while seated, difficulties arise because the back and front walls run parallel. This means that the front wall of the pocket body resting on the thighs falls away from the body in a normal sitting posture, unless the knees are raised and an unnatural sitting posture is adopted. In addition, the eventual opening of the front wall is hindered by the work documents lying on it, which have to be held up laboriously when the front wall is pivoted up about a pivot axis parallel to the floor.
[0003] Um bei Aktentaschen eine Pultfläche zu erhalten, ist es bekannt (FR 2 689 734 A1), auf der Rückwand des Taschenkörpers eine Pulttafel anzuordnen, die bei liegender Aktentasche um eine randparallele Achse in eine Arbeitsstellung aufgeklappt und in dieser Arbeitsstellung durch eine Stützklappe gegenüber der Rückwand abgestützt werden kann. Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Aktentasche ist nicht nur der durch die Pulttafel verursachte zusätzliche Aufwand, sondern auch der Umstand, daß nach dem Aufklappen der Pulttafel der Tascheninhalt kaum zugänglich ist, ohne die Lage der auf der Pulttafel abgelegten Unterlagen zu gefährden.In order to obtain a desk surface for briefcases, it is known (FR 2 689 734 A1) to arrange a desk panel on the rear wall of the bag body, which at lying briefcase unfolded about an axis parallel to the edge in a working position and can be supported in this working position by a support flap against the rear wall. A disadvantage of this known briefcase is not only the additional effort caused by the desk, but also the fact that after opening the desk the contents of the bag are hardly accessible without endangering the position of the documents stored on the desk.
[0004] Um in einer Aktentasche verstaubare Unterlagen vorteilhaft zeigen zu können, ist es darüber hinaus bekannt (US 4 314 625 A), an der Vorderwand des Taschenkörpers eine gegen die Vorderwand einwärts schwenkbare Pulttafel vorzusehen, die beim Aufschwenken der Vorderwand ausgeklappt und am Taschenkörper abgestützt werden kann, so daß sich eine entsprechende Pultfläche ergibt, auf der die vorzuzeigenden Unterlagen gut erkennbar gehalten werden. In ähnlicher Weise ist es bei einer anderen Konstruktion bekannt (US 4 420 270 A), Bildmaterial auszustellen, das ringbuchartig auf einer Pulttafel gelagert ist, die in einen Taschenkörper eingeschwenkt werden kann. Da die Pulttafel an der aufschwenkbaren Vorderwand des Taschenkörpers angelenkt ist, bildet die Vorderwand eine Schwenkstütze für die Pulttafel, die aus der eingeschwenkten Ruhestellung in die ausgeklappte Arbeitsstellung mit Hilfe eines Zugbandes verlagert wird. Nachteilig bei diesen Konstruktionen ist, daß der Taschenkörper lediglich zur Aufnahme der vorzuzeigenden Unterlagen bestimmt ist und daher nicht als Aktentasche zur Aufnahme anderer Unterlagen eingesetzt werden kann.In order to be able to show stowable documents in a briefcase, it is also known (US 4,314,625 A) to provide on the front wall of the body of the body a pivotable inward panel against the front wall, which when the front wall is swung open and on the body of the bag can be supported, so that there is a corresponding desk surface on which the documents to be presented are clearly visible. Similarly, in another construction (US 4,420,270 A) it is known to display image material which is stored in a ring binder-like manner on a desk panel which can be pivoted into a pocket body. Since the desk is hinged to the front wall of the bag body that can be swung open, the front wall forms a swivel support for the desk, which is shifted from the swung-in rest position into the unfolded working position with the aid of a drawstring. A disadvantage of these constructions is that the bag body is only intended to hold the documents to be presented and therefore cannot be used as a briefcase to hold other documents.
[0005] Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Aktentasche der eingangs geschilderten Art so auszugestalten, daß sie vorteilhaft als Schreibunterlage eingesetzt werden kann, ohne auf eine bequeme Sitzhaltung oder einen einfachen Zugang zum Tascheninhalt während der Benützung des Taschenkörpers als Papierauflage verzichten zu müssen. [0006] Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß die Vorderwand des auf der Rückwand aufliegenden Taschenkörpers eine vom Boden gegen die obere Stirnwand abfallende Pultfläche bildet und zwei seitlich nebeneinander angeordnete Dekelabschnitte aufweist, die um ihre einander zugekehrten, in Richtung der Höhe der Vorderwand verlaufenden Ränder aufschwenkbar gelagert sind.The invention is therefore based on the object to design a briefcase of the type described so that it can be used advantageously as a desk pad without having to forego a comfortable sitting position or easy access to the bag contents while using the bag body as a paper pad , The invention solves this problem in that the front wall of the pocket body lying on the rear wall forms a descending desk surface from the floor against the upper end wall and has two side-by-side Dekel sections, which are facing each other, in the direction of the height of the front wall running edges are pivotally mounted.
[0007] Durch die Ausbildung der Vorderwand als Pultfläche, die beim Aufliegen des Taschen körpers auf seiner Rückwand vom Boden des Taschenkörpers gegen die obere Stirnwand hin abfällt, kann eine vorteilhafte Schreibunterlage erhalten werden, die auch beim Aufsetzen des Taschenkörpers auf die Oberschenkel eines Sitzenden günstige ergonometrische Verhältnisse für einen Schreibenden ermöglicht. Trotz der Ausbildung der Stirnwand als abfallende Pultfläche kann die Zugänglichkeit zum Tascheninhalt in einfacher Weise durch zwei seitlich nebeneinander angeordnete Deckelabschnitte erreicht werden, weil diese Deckelabschnitte um ihre einander zugekehrten Ränder aufschwenkbar gelagert sind, so daß die auf der Pultfläche abgelegten Papiere im Bereich des einen Deckelabschnittes liegen bleiben können, während der andere Deckelabschnitt von der zugehörigen seitlichen Stirnwand des Taschenkörpers her geöffnet wird. Diese gegeneinander aufschwenkbaren Deckelabschnitte wirken selbst bei einer gleichzeitigen Öffnung wie Umschläge, zwischen denen die auf der Pultfläche aufruhenden Unterlagen buchartig zusammengeschlagen werden, so daß ein sonst unvermeidliches Abfallen der von der Pultfläche aufgenommenen Papiere einfach vermieden werden kann. Da sich übliche Aktenunterlagen in ihrer Größe an den allgemein gebräuchlichen Papierformaten orientieren, bringt die Unterteilung der Vorderwand in zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Deckelabschnitten in der Praxis kaum eine Einschränkung hinsichtlich des aufzunehmenden Tascheninhaltes mit sich. [0008] Um ein Abgleiten der auf die Pultfläche der Vorderwand abgelegten Papiere zufolge der Pultneigung zu verhindern, empfiehlt es sich, die obere Stirnwand mit einem über die Pultfläche vorstehenden Anschlag zu versehen, der einen entsprechenden Halt für die aufgelegten Papiere sicherstellt, ohne die Handhabung der Aktentasche zu beeinträchtigen, weil ja der Überstand des Anschlages über die Pultfläche vergleichsweise klein ausfallen kann.By designing the front wall as a desk surface, which falls when the bag body lies on its rear wall from the bottom of the bag body against the upper end wall, an advantageous writing pad can be obtained which is also favorable when the bag body is placed on the thighs of a seated person Ergonometric conditions for a writer. Despite the design of the end wall as a sloping desk surface, access to the contents of the bag can be achieved in a simple manner by two lid sections arranged side by side, because these lid sections are pivotally mounted around their mutually facing edges, so that the papers deposited on the desk surface in the area of the one lid section can remain lying while the other lid section is opened from the associated side end wall of the bag body. These lid sections, which can be swung open against one another, even with a simultaneous opening, act like envelopes, between which the documents resting on the desk surface are folded together in book form, so that an otherwise inevitable fall off of the papers picked up by the desk surface can simply be avoided. Since the size of conventional file documents is based on the commonly used paper formats, the division of the front wall into two lid sections arranged next to each other in practice hardly imposes a restriction on the contents of the bag to be accommodated. In order to prevent the papers deposited on the desk surface of the front wall from sliding due to the desk inclination, it is advisable to provide the upper end wall with a stop projecting beyond the desk surface, which ensures a corresponding hold for the papers placed on it, without handling the briefcase, because the protrusion of the stop over the desk surface can be comparatively small.
[0009] Obwohl die beiden Deckelabschnitte der Vorderwand an einem die Taschenöffnung überbrückenden Steg angelenkt sein können, ergeben sich besonders vorteilhafte Konstruktionsbedingungen, wenn sie an einer den Taschenkörper unterteilenden Trennwand angelenkt werden, weil durch diese Trennwand eine biegesteife Abstützung der Vorderwand in deren Mittenbereich erzielt wird, was der Stützfunktion der Pultfläche zugute kommt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist ja zu bedenken, daß der Taschenkörper ein möglichst geringes Gewicht aufweisen soll.Although the two lid portions of the front wall can be hinged to a bridge bridging the pocket opening, there are particularly advantageous construction conditions if they are hinged to a partition dividing the pocket body, because a rigid support of the front wall is achieved in the central region thereof by this partition what benefits the support function of the desk surface. In this context it should be borne in mind that the bag body should be as light as possible.
[0010] Die Pultfunktion der Aktentasche kann vorteilhaft durch eine Beleuchtung für die Pultfläche ergänzt werden, wobei der Taschenkörper ein durch einen Zwischenboden abgegrenztes Bodenfach zur Aufnahme einer solchen ausziehbaren Beleuchtung für die Pultfläche bilden kann. Im Bedarfsfall wird dieses Bodenfach geöffnet und die Beleuchtung aus dem Bodenfach herausgezogen, um ein entsprechendes Auflicht für die Pultfläche zu erhalten. Werden für die Beleuchtung auf einem Balken angeordnete Leuchtdioden eingesetzt, so können die Vorteile eines vergleichsweise geringen Energieverbrauches mit denen einer geringen Wärmeentwicklung verbunden werden, ohne auf eine ausreichende Lichtstärke verzichten zu müssen. Wird der Balken drehverstellbar angeordnet, so läßt sich außerdem die Beleuchtungsrichtung einstellen.The desk function of the briefcase can advantageously be supplemented by lighting for the desk surface, the bag body can form a floor compartment delimited by an intermediate floor for receiving such a pull-out lighting for the desk surface. If necessary, this floor compartment is opened and the lighting is pulled out of the floor compartment in order to obtain a corresponding incident light for the desk area. If light-emitting diodes arranged on a bar are used for the lighting, the advantages of a comparatively low energy consumption can be combined with those of a low heat development without having to forego a sufficient light intensity. If the bar is arranged so that it can be rotated, the direction of illumination can also be set.
[0011] In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand beispielsweise dargestellt. Es zeigen Fig. 1 eine auf ihrer Rückwand aufliegende Aktentasche nach der Erfindung in einer axonometrischen Darstellung, Fig. 2 diese Aktentasche in einem Querschnitt und Fig. 3 die Aktentasche nach der Fig. 2 in einer Ansicht auf die obere Stirnwand.In the drawing, the subject of the invention is shown for example. Show it 1 shows a briefcase lying on its rear wall according to the invention in an axonometric view, FIG. 2 shows this briefcase in a cross section and FIG. 3 shows the briefcase according to FIG. 2 in a view of the upper end wall.
[0012] Der Taschenkörper der liegend dargestellten Aktentasche besteht aus einem steifen Rahmen 1 , der durch einen Boden 2, zwei vom Boden 2 aufragenden seitlichen Stirnwänden 3 und einer die seitlichen Stirnwände verbindenden oberen Stirnwand 4 gebildet wird. Der Rahmen 1 wird auf seiner Rückseite durch eine Rückwand 5 verschlossen und trägt auf der Vorderseite eine offenbare Vorderwand 6, die zwei Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 aufweist. Diese Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 sind an einer zu den seitlichen Stirnwänden 3 parallelen Trennwand 9 angelenkt und tragen an ihren auf den seitlichen Stirnwänden 3 des Rahmens 1 aufruhenden Rändern Verschlußklappen 10, die die seitlichen Stirnwände 3 übergreifen und an diesen Stirnwänden 3 beispielsweise über Druckknöpfe befestigt werden können. Es sind aber selbstverständlich auch andere Verschlüsse ohne weiteres einsetzbar.The bag body of the briefcase shown lying consists of a rigid frame 1, which is formed by a bottom 2, two upstanding from the floor 2 side end walls 3 and an upper end wall 4 connecting the side end walls. The frame 1 is closed on its rear side by a rear wall 5 and bears an open front wall 6 on the front side, which has two cover sections 7 and 8. These cover sections 7 and 8 are articulated to a partition 9 parallel to the side end walls 3 and carry, at their edges resting on the side end walls 3 of the frame 1, closure flaps 10 which overlap the side end walls 3 and are fastened to these end walls 3, for example by means of push buttons can. Of course, other closures can also be used without any problems.
[0013] Die Trennwand 9 unterteilt den Taschenkörper in zwei über die Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 je für sich zugängliche Aufnahmeräume, die wiederum unterteilt werden können. Während der durch den Deckelabschnitt 8 verschließbare Taschenraum durch eine bodenparallele Trennwand 11 unterteilt wird, bildet eine im wesentlichen zur Rückwand 5 parallele Zwischenwand 12 im Bereich des Deckelabschnittes 7 eine Facheinteilung, die die Ausnützung eines Stauraumes erlaubt, der sich über die gesamte Rückwand 5 im Bereich des Deckelabschnittes 7 erstreckt.The partition 9 divides the bag body into two via the cover sections 7 and 8 each of which is accessible to receiving spaces, which in turn can be divided. While the pocket space that can be closed by the lid section 8 is divided by a partition 11 parallel to the floor, an intermediate wall 12 essentially parallel to the rear wall 5 in the area of the lid section 7 forms a division that allows the use of a storage space that extends over the entire rear wall 5 in the area of the cover section 7 extends.
[0014] Wie insbesondere der Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, wird durch einen Zwischenboden 13 ein Bodenfach 14 vom übrigen Taschenkörper abgetrennt, das eine Beleuchtung 15 in Form eines Balkens 16 aufnimmt, der mit Leuchtdioden bestückt ist. Dieser Balken 16 ist über Führungen 17 verschiebbar in einer Konsole 18 gehalten, so daß nach dem Öffnen eines das Bodenfach 14 abschließenden Deckels 19 die Beleuchtung 15 aus dem Bodenfach 14 in die in der Fig. 2 dargestellte Gebrauchsstellung ausgezogen werden kann. Die Energieversorgung der Beleuchtung 15 erfolgt über Batterien 20, die im Bodenfach 14 untergebracht sind, wobei aufgrund der Bestükung des Balkens 16 mit Leuchtdioden für einen geringen Energieverbrauch und damit eine lange Leuchtdauer gesorgt ist. Mit einer Drehverstellung des Balkens 16 kann die Beleuchtungsrichtung den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen angepaßt werden.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, a bottom compartment 14 is separated from the rest of the pocket body by an intermediate floor 13, which receives lighting 15 in the form of a bar 16 with light-emitting diodes is equipped. This bar 16 is slidably held in a bracket 18 via guides 17, so that after opening a cover 19 closing the bottom compartment 14, the lighting 15 can be pulled out of the bottom compartment 14 into the position of use shown in FIG. 2. The lighting 15 is supplied with energy by batteries 20, which are accommodated in the base compartment 14, and because the beam 16 is equipped with light-emitting diodes, low energy consumption and thus a long lighting period are ensured. With a rotary adjustment of the bar 16, the direction of illumination can be adapted to the respective needs.
[0015] Bei geschlossenen Deckelabschnitten 7 und 8 bildet die Vorderwand 6 des auf der Rückwand 5 aufliegenden Taschenkörpers eine vom Boden 2 gegen die obere Stirnwand 4 hin abfallende Pultfläche, die vorteilhaft als Schreibunterlage bzw. Auflage für Arbeitspapiere genützt werden kann. Die auf dieser Pultfläche aufruhenden Unterlagen behindern die Zugänglichkeit zum Tascheninhalt kaum, weil die Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 jeweils für sich geöffnet werden können, so daß die Unterlagen auf dem nicht geöffneten Deckelabschnitt liegen bleiben können. Selbst bei einer Öffnung beider Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 werden die auf dem Pult aufliegenden Unterlagen zwischen den Deckelabschnitten 7 und 8 wie in einem Umschlag gehalten, was aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich wird, die die beiden Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 in einer teilweisen Offenstellung zeigt.When the lid sections 7 and 8 are closed, the front wall 6 of the pocket body resting on the rear wall 5 forms a descending desk surface from the bottom 2 against the upper end wall 4, which can advantageously be used as a writing pad or support for working papers. The documents resting on this desk surface hardly hinder access to the contents of the bag, because the cover sections 7 and 8 can each be opened for themselves, so that the documents can remain on the cover section not opened. Even when both cover sections 7 and 8 are opened, the documents lying on the desk between cover sections 7 and 8 are held as in an envelope, as can be seen in FIG. 3, which shows the two cover sections 7 and 8 in a partially open position.
[0016] Damit auf der Pultfläche aufliegende Papiere nicht über die obere Stirnwand 4 von der Vorderwand 6 abgleiten können, steht die obere Stirnwand 4 zur Bildung eines Anschlages 21 über die Pultfläche vor, wie dies insbesondere der Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann. Durch diesen Anschlag 21 wird ein Abrutschen von auf der Pultfläche aufliegenden Papieren in einfacher Weise verhindert. Bei geschlossenen Deckelabschnitten 7 und 8 und verschlossenem Bodenfach 14 kann die Aktentasche wie jede herkömmliche Aktentasche gehandhabt und über einen Handgriff 22 im Bereich der oberen Stirnwand 4 getragen werden.So that papers lying on the desk surface cannot slide over the upper end wall 4 from the front wall 6, the upper end wall 4 projects to form a stop 21 over the desk surface, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2. This stop 21 prevents papers lying on the desk surface from slipping off in a simple manner. When the lid sections 7 and 8 are closed and the bottom compartment 14 is closed, the briefcase can be handled like any conventional briefcase and via one Handle 22 can be worn in the area of the upper end wall 4.
[0017] Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So können je nach Bedarf unterschiedliche Einteilungen des Taschenkörpers durch Zwischenwände und Fachböden unterteilt werden. Entscheidend ist lediglich, daß durch die beiden gegeneinander aufklappbaren Deckelabschnitte 7 und 8 der Vorderwand 6 eine vom Boden 2 gegen die obere Stirnwand 4 hin abfallende Pultfläche gebildet wird, wenn der Taschenkörper auf der Rückwand 5 aufruht. The invention is of course not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Different divisions of the bag body can be divided by partitions and shelves as required. The only decisive factor is that the two panel sections 7 and 8 of the front wall 6, which can be opened against one another, form a desk surface falling from the floor 2 towards the upper front wall 4 when the bag body rests on the rear wall 5.
