Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Ringordnermechanik with a cross-section C- or U-shaped housing with elastically bendable bearing legs with two mounting rails which bear against each other at their mutually facing longitudinal edges to form a hinge axis against each other and engage with their opposite longitudinal edges in bearing grooves of the bearing legs, and with at least two in a defined longitudinal distance from one another rigidly connected to the support rails, passing through openings in a housing wall and in pairs complementary to a ring half-rings, wherein the support rails about the hinge axis with entrainment of the half-rings between an open position and a closed position by overcoming by bending the Bearing spring generated limited spring force against each other are pivotable, and wherein at least two actuatable via an actuator and a tension member locking elements are provided, which in the closed position in between the support rail and a housing wall formed clearance under blocking the pivotal movement of the support rails engage and release the pivoting about the hinge axis in the open position, wherein the locking elements are biased under the action
  • each locking element associated with the actuator tension member is associated with integrated closing spring.
  • the tension member must accordingly consist of a spring-compatible material.
  • the known Ringordnermechanik in the practical design with more than two rings only two locking elements can be provided. The use of more than two locking elements, as is desirable, for example, in mechanics with three or more rings is not disclosed there and not readily possible.
  • the invention has the object to improve the ring binder mechanism of the type specified in that more than two locking elements can be used.
  • the solution according to the invention consists essentially in that the tension member has a plurality of drivers, each associated with a locking element.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the tension member is formed by a substantially parallel to the hinge axis extending wire piece, wherein the drivers may be formed by offsets on the tension member.
  • each locking element is assigned its own, independent of the tension member closing spring, wherein the closing springs may be formed as a torsion spring.
  • the closing springs may be formed as a torsion spring.
  • each locking element has a receptacle for one of the carriers of the tension member, via which it is in operative connection therewith.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that at least one of the locking elements is designed as a pivot member, wherein the at least one locking element is pivotably supported on one of the two support rails and / or on the housing.
  • a Ringordnermechanik with four rings can thus be fitted with four locking elements, wherein the locking elements pivotally mounted on one of the two support rails and each locking element may be associated with a designed as a leg spring closing spring.
  • the locking elements can be provided with wedge-shaped closing surfaces which cooperate in the closed position with the mounting rail.
  • the receptacles on the locking elements for the driver of the tension member must be designed so that the pivotable locking elements are pivoted both in the opening direction and in the closing direction of the drivers.
  • the Ringordnermechanik shown in the drawing is intended primarily for holding loose and perforated sheets, such as records or printed matter.
  • the Ringordnermechanik consists essentially of a housing 10, a plurality of defined longitudinal distance from each other, through openings 12 of the housing wall 13 cross, in pairs to a ring 14 complementary half-rings 16 and an actuating lever 18 for opening and closing the rings 14.
  • the half-rings 16 a Each ring 14 are rigidly attached to two support rails 20 which bear against each other at their mutually facing longitudinal edges to form a hinge axis 22 and engage with their opposite longitudinal edges 24 in facing bearing grooves 26 which are embossed into the housing flanks 28.
  • the support rails 20 are inserted into the housing 10 so that they can assume two locking positions, an open and a closed.
  • the housing acts as a spring element which fixes the half rings 16 in their open position and in their closed position.
  • the support rails 20 have the function of a sprung at the outer edges 24 held toggle lever.
  • the support rails 20 can be pivoted about their hinge axis 22 with entrainment of the half rings 16 between the open position and the closed position by overcoming a spring force generated by the bending of the housing flanks 28 limited against each other.
  • each ring 14 is associated with a relative to the housing 10 and the support rails 20 pivotable locking element 32 which engages in the closed position in a formed between the support rails 20 and the housing wall 13 space 34 blocking the pivoting path of the support rails 20 and in the open position releases the pivoting about the hinge axis 22.
  • each locking element 32 designed as a pivoting element is assigned its own closing spring 36.
  • a special feature of the invention is that all locking elements 32 are actuated via a common tension member 44.
  • the trained as a piece of wire Tension member 44 has four drivers 201 for this purpose, to each of which a locking element 32 is assigned.
  • the locking elements 32 designed as a pivot member are additionally acted upon in the closing direction by the force of a respective closing spring 36 (FIGS. 2a and 2b).
  • the closing springs 36 are designed as torsion springs whose legs are supported on the housing flank 28 on the one hand and on the locking element 32 on the other hand (FIG. 2b).
  • the locking element 32 has for this purpose a mandrel 204 for receiving the closing spring 36.
  • the locking element 32 In its operative position, the locking element 32 is also held pivotably by the axle extension 205 in a bearing recess 206 on one of the support rails 20 (FIGS. 3d and 4a).
  • a receptacle 203 for the associated driver 201 of the tension member 44 is also provided on the locking element 32.
  • the drivers 201 are formed in the embodiment shown as offsets 202 on the tension member 44. So that the drivers 201 are secured in the transverse direction against sliding out, a stop plate 207 is formed on the respective locking element 32 (see Fig. 4a).
  • the locking elements 32 are biased under the action of the associated closing springs 36 in the direction of the closed position (cf., FIGS. 3a to 3d).
  • the opening of the rings 14 is carried out by moving the pulling member 44 in its longitudinal direction by the actuating lever 18 is depressed.
  • the locking elements 32 are pivoted against the force of the closing springs 36 about the axis 205 relative to the support rails 20 in their open position.
  • the locking element 32 passes into the guide opening 54 and releases the support rails 20 about their hinge axis 22 (shown in phantom in Fig. 2b).
  • an opening arm 40 formed on the actuating member passes from below against the mounting rails 20 and pushes them upward, overcoming the spring force generated by the housing flanks 28, until the mounting rails 20 abut against the housing wall 13.
  • the half rings 16 are pivoted into their open position.
  • the actuator 18 is pushed upwards.
  • the support rails 20 are pivoted about the locking arm 42 about its hinge axis 22, overcoming the spring force generated by the housing flanks 28 past the locking elements 32 down until the free space 34 is formed.
  • the locking elements 32 are automatically moved under the action of the closing springs 36 and entrainment of the tension member 44 and the actuating lever 18 in their locking position (Fig. 3a to 3d).
  • the kinematic chain which is responsible for the release or the locking of the mounting rails 20, accordingly consists of the following elements: actuator 18, tension member 44, four locking elements 32 with closing springs 36th
  • each locking element 32 is associated with a closing spring 36.
  • the invention also relates to a folder with a ring binder mechanism arranged on the back of the folder of the type described above.
