Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a document binder having document fastener which its length varies during use according to the opening angle of the binder's side covers, allowing for a convenient browsing and for fast and easy filing and removing documents.
  • pegs are known.
  • One type of such a peg is a foldable peg which when erect allows for the filing or removing of documents, and when folded sideways prevents the release of the bound documents.
  • an additional bar is placed onto the folded peg to obstruct erecting it unintentionally.
  • This binding method insures relatively secure binding, but is extremely inconvenient when a certain document needs to be released and taken out of the binder.
  • the semi-circular peg which can be drawn to an adjacent semicircular such peg, forming a ring, thus preventing the release of the filed documents, in one position.
  • the semi-circular peg can be drawn away form the adjacent peg, thus opening the ring and allowing for the removal of filed documents or filing of additional documents.
  • the semi-circular peg is held in its open or closed position by means of a spring.
  • a major drawback of the semicircular peg binding is the tendency of the peg to give way and become slack in its closed position, thus allowing slipping of sheets out of the ring, and their subsequent detachment from the binder.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a document binding mechanism that allows for relatively large number of documents to be securely filed.
  • the present invention relates to a document binder comprising two side covers, pivotally attached to opposing edges of a back cover, wherein on the internal face of each side cover at least one rigid peg is pivotally attached, and each peg is located in a corresponding position for an inter engagement with a mate peg of the opposite side cover, such that the total length of each pair of inter engaged pegs is varying during use according to the opening angle of the side covers.
  • the mechanism for a document binder of the present invention seeks to provide a simple and convenient filing and removing of documents in and out of a document folder.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the 'engaged' position of a preferred embodiment of the mechanism for a document binder of the present invention, where the binder is partially opened on both side covers.
  • the binder consists of a folder (1) having two opposing side covers (2), which are pivotally attached to a common rigid rectangular back cover (3), at opposing edges.
  • a pair of rigid pegs (4, 5) is employed, each peg being attached pivotally to a side cover at a corresponding position opposite the peg of the other side cover.
  • the pivoting ability is achieved by connection the peg to the cover through clasps (6).
  • the total length of both pegs is greater than the back cover (3) width across its surface This is imperative in order to enable engagement of these pegs by insertion of one peg inside the other.
  • one peg (4) of the pair is hollow along its stem allowing the other peg (5) to be telescopically inserted inside the hollow cavity of the first peg.
  • the stem of the pegs according to the present invention is curved in a relatively flat arc.
  • the pegs are extended telescopically up to twice of their length of close position (in known binders the length of the pegs is fixed). Due to the flat arc and the space obtained between documents in the extended position of the pegs, the documents can be turned conveniently, similarly to turning pages of book. It should be noted, however, that other methods of engagement between the pegs could be employed.
  • one peg can be designed to have an external groove into which the other peg can fit and slide along.
  • a pair of pegs which are adapted for sliding along each other are called also “mate pegs”; a single peg from mate pegs is called also “mate peg”.
  • Figures 2 - 4 illustrate various relative peg positions respectful of the side covers position, all while maintaining the "engaged" position.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the 'disengaged' position of a preferred embodiment of the mechanism for a document binder of the present invention, where the binder is fully opened on both side covers, allowing the disengagement of the pegs and removal or insertion of documents.
  • the pegs can be disengaged when the side covers (2) are fully drawn apart, when the inserted peg is pulled out of the other peg. After the pegs are disengaged, the pegs of each side can be separately pivot to a vertical position, allowing a convenient removal or filing of documents.
  • the pivoting mechanism of pegs includes a spring (preferably a leaf spring).
  • the leaf spring (7) is connected and located between two slits (8) in a metal plate (9), and this metal plate is attached to the side cover of the binder.
  • the leaf spring (7) enables a pressed passage of an excentral protrusion (10) form the axis (11) around which pivots the peg within the clasp (6).
  • the pivot axis (11) is adjacent to the leaf spring (7), and the protrusions (10) (12) (13) are arranged such that the leaf spring resists the movement of the axis between an "open” position (when the peg is oriented substantially vertically to its attached side cover) and a “disengagement” position (when the facing pegs are just disengaged, but still lying parallel to the back cover).
  • the protrusions (12) (13) form both sides of the protrusion (10), prevent the peg form deviation into unwanted positions. (The same effect may achieved alternatively with a leaf spring which passes from above the axis (11), or in other ways as well).
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a top view of the 'disengaged' position of said preferred embodiment of the mechanism for a document binder of the present invention, where the binder is fully opened on both side covers, allowing the disengagement of the pegs and removal or insertion of documents.
  • two pairs of pegs are used, and this arrangement suits punched documents with a pair of matching holes.
  • At least two pairs of pegs are employed in the mechanism for a document binder of the present invention, in order to provide firm grip of the documents and avoid movements of these documents inside the binder.
  • more than two pairs of pegs can also be used. It should be noted that the number of peg pairs ought to match the number of perforations in the documents to be filed.
  • the disclosed mechanism of the present invention is also applicable in a binder with detachable side-covers, which are secured to the back cover with screws or other means.
  • the binder mechanism of the present invention allows smaller binder dimensions than the prior art binders.
