Definitions

  • this invention is concerned with a folder with a magnetic latch, and more specifically, a folder in which one variant also provides a case, fitted with elements that possess sufficient mutual magnetic attraction to maintain the folder closed or the case formed based on this with one or more sheet-like, or thicker articles that are housed inside.
  • the utility model ES-A-199092 describes a support for sheets of paper or plastic fitted with a magnetic clip consisting of two flat, ferromagnetic parts, that are suitable for mutually attracting each other, housed inside their respective flexible encasing sheaths, that are articulated along the length of one of the longer edges.
  • One of the said sheaths is fixed to a support base, whereas the other is free to rotate around the said articulation until it comes into contact with the other, which is determined by the mutual attraction between the two magnetic parts in the form of a clip for the purpose of holding, for example, sheets of paper.
  • the sheets of paper or plastic are held in place by means of a narrow strip at one of the edges, with the rest of the sheet clearly visible, or covered by an additional, non-magnetic sheet.
  • Utility model ES-A-259286 describes an extendable diary with a magnetic latch that consists of a considerably long sheet of paper that is folded into a bellows shape, together with a pair of independent covers joined together to respective end portions of the said sheet.
  • the two covers are made of materials that mutually attract each other so that, in the folded position, the extendable sheet of paper is folded and housed inside the covers that tend to maintain themselves superposed and joined together.
  • the covers completely enclose the sheet of paper.
  • the covers are not linked together in the form of a folder, which makes it difficult for this device to be used to hold loose sheets of paper.
  • Utility model ES-A-285273 describes a magnetic clip for holding posters and sheet of paper in place, which comprises two sheets of material that mutually magnetically attract each other, and which are joined together in an articulated fashion at one of their edges in order to allow an angular separation between the two that is sufficient to house the edge of a poster or sheet of paper between them. When these two sheets are superposed, they become magnetically joined together, holding the poster or sheet of paper.
  • One of these sheets is adapted to be fixed, for example, to a wall.
  • the two magnetic sheets are articulated by means of a sheet of adhesive paper that externals covers the two sheets and where a free portion of the said sheet of paper operates as a hinge between the two sheets.
  • this clip is of a size that is significantly smaller than the poster or sheet of paper that is to be held in place and it is not intended to hold and retain one or more sheets of material inside, such as paper or plastic, covering them completely.
  • One objective of this invention is to provide a folder-case that includes magnetic closing elements that are capable of keeping the folder-case closed with one or more sheet-like articles being held in place inside.
  • This utility model contributes to achieving the previous objective by providing a folder-case, consisting of at least first and second sheets with respective contiguous edges joined together by means of a hinge that allows the said first and second sheets to rotate with respect to each other until they are superposed, thus housing between them and covering one or more sheet-like articles.
  • the folder-case of this invention is characterised in that the first and second sheets include, at least next to a part of their free edges, respective portions that magnetically attract each other with sufficient force to maintain the folder-case closed with the said one or more sheet-like articles held in place inside.
  • each of the first and second sheets is a single sheet-like piece of plastic material with additional magnetic material parts.
  • This magnetic plastic sheet-like material is known and commercially available, being habitually used in various applications, such as closing devices for folding panels for bath or shower screens, for the securing of carpeting to computer flooring or self-adhesive elements for holding objects in place to ferromagnetic surfaces, such as refrigerator doors.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of this magnetic plastic sheet-like material and two magnetic metal sheets may also be employed with identical results. Moreover, it would be sufficient for either the first or second sheet to be made of magnetic material, with the other being made of ferromagnetic material.
  • the first and second sheets possess a moderate degree of flexibility that is adequate for providing the folder with consistency.
  • the first and second sheets are joined to a single exterior sheet that completely covers them, and there is a free portion of the said exterior sheet between the first and seconds sheets that operates in the mentioned form of hinge.
  • the exterior sheet is made of material that has a significantly greater degree of flexibility than that of the first and second sheets, which makes it able to carry out the said hinge function.
  • a suitable material for the exterior sheet is a sheet of plastic material, such as a sheet of PVC or other flexible plastic material.
  • this flexible PVC sheet comes from the reuse of a material employed in publicity banners which, on the one hand, can involve taking advantage of the graphic designs included in the said banners and, on the other, it represents a clear environmental benefit.
  • the invention is not limited to using these flexible PVC sheets and other materials, such as textiles, felt, reinforced paper, rubber, cork sheeting, metal, silicone, and neoprene among others, may be employed, with their different visual and tactile properties.
  • the sheet-like hinge element to completely cover the first and second sheets and instead, these could be joined by an exterior strip that only covers some strips next to the respective contiguous edges, with, as occurred in the previous example, a free portion of the said exterior strip between the first and second sheets that can be employed as a hinge.
  • FIG. 1 shows a folder with a magnetic latch in accordance with an embodiment example of this invention comprising first and second sheets 1, 2, with respective contiguous edges joined together by means of a hinge 3a.
  • Dotted lines have been used on the said first sheet 1 to represent one or more sheet-like articles 4, for example, sheets of paper or plastic, that occupy a smaller area than that of the first and second sheets 1, 2.
  • the first and second sheets 1, 2 are both made of a sheet of plastic material with additional magnetic material so that they magnetically attract each other with sufficient force to keep the folder closed with the said sheet-like articles 4 housed inside.
  • the magnetic flux will pass through the sheet-like articles permitting the folder to be magnetically closed.
  • the surface area of the first and second sheets 1, 2 must be greater than that of the sheet-like articles 4 so that respective portions 1a, 2a located next to the free edges are in direct contact when closed.
  • the first and second sheets 1, 2 possess a moderate degree of flexibility that is adequate for providing consistency to the folder, and the exterior sheet 3 has a second degree of flexibility that is greater than the first, in order to allow the flexion of the said free portion of the exterior sheet 3 so that it can perform the function of the cited means of hinging 3a, as is better shown in greater detail in Figure 2.
  • the second sheet 2, together with the corresponding part of the exterior sheet 3 comprises a cut-out section that allows access for a finger to press down on the first sheet 1 when the first and second sheets 1, 2 are closed.
  • the folder could include more than one of the said cut-out sections 6 in one or both first and second sheets 1, 2, together with the corresponding parts on the exterior sheet 3.
  • Figure 3 shows another embodiment example of the folder of this invention in which only the said peripheral portions 1a, 2a of the first and second sheets 1, 2 are made of plastic material with additional magnetic material.
  • These peripheral portions 1a, 2a are fixed in place in a similar fashion to that described above in relation to figures 1 and 2, to an exterior sheet 3 that operates as the cited means of hinging 3a.
  • the first and second sheets 1, 2 include other respective portions 1b, 2b of a non-magnetic material, complementary to portions 1a, 1b, with the thickness and degree of flexibility of the complementary portions 1b, 2b being similar to the thickness and degree of flexibility of the magnetic portions 1a, 2a, and sufficient to provide consistency to the folder.
  • There is also a cut-out section 6 here that is described in relation to Figures 1 and 2.
  • FIG 4 partially shows yet another embodiment example of the folder of this invention in which both the first and second sheets 1, 2 is a single piece of magnetic of ferromagnetic material.
  • the first and second sheets 1, 2 are joined to an exterior strip 5 of flexible material that only covers some strips next to the respective contiguous edges, with a free portion of the said exterior strip 5 remaining between the first and second sheets 1, 2 and which operates as the cited means of hinging 5a.
  • first and second sheets may have other shapes. They could, therefore, have an irregular or functional shape, such as a round shape to hold one or more compact disks.
  • Figure 5 shows one embodiment variant in which at least one of the said sheets 1, 2 is of considerable thickness, at least sufficient to define a perimeter rabbet 9 adapted to that of an object 4a which fits inside.
  • the rabbet 9 is adapted to mate with a flat object and to present an extension 20 on its edge directed outwards to facilitate the extraction of the cited article 4a.
  • the rabbet 9 has a circular plan and is adapted to mate with a disk 4a, such as a CD or DVD.
  • At least one of the sheets 1, 2 are set out on a padded sheet 8 that provides most of the thickness that is required to define the cited adapted perimeter rabbet 9 to an object 4a, such as a disk fitting inside.
  • a second padded, thinner sheet 7 over the cited sheet 3 of flexible material that exteriorly covers the whole assembly determining its spines and towards the interior.
