Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hängemappe zur Aufnahme von Schriftgut gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a suspension file for receiving documents according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannte Hängemappen dieser Art weisen eine Bahn aus Karton oder Kunststoff, insbesondere Polypropylen (PP) oder Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) auf, die dazu bestimmt ist, mittels der an ihr befestigten, durch Schienen paarweise miteinander verbundenen Haken in ein Regal, einen Aktenschrank oder dergleichen eingehängt zu werden. Dabei greifen die seitlich überstehenden Haken in Aufnahmeschienen des Aktenschranks ein und tragen das Gewicht der Hängemappe sowie des in ihr aufgenommenen Schriftguts. Das Schriftgut liegt auf dem Mappenboden auf. Dieser wird bei kleineren Hängemappen durch den Falz gebildet. Bei größeren Hängemappen, die für die Aufnahme größerer Mengen von Schriftgut bestimmt sind, weist die Bahn zwei Falze auf, zwischen denen sich eine Partie der Bahn als Mappenboden erstreckt. In der Regel sind die Hängemappen an den Seitenkanten offen, so dass der Aufnahmeraum für das Schriftgut auch von den Seitenkanten zugänglich ist. Ein Einlegen bzw. eine Entnahme von Schriftgut erfolgt jedoch meist von oben, also zwischen den Oberkanten hindurch. Dabei wirken, insbesondere wenn gleichzeitig größere Mengen Schriftgut in die Hängemappe fallen, erhebliche Kräfte auf den Mappenboden, die dessen Verschleiß begünstigen. Um dem zu begegnen, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, den Mappenboden stärker auszuführen als die Seitenwände. Allerdings werden die Kräfte über die Seitenwände auf die Schienen und deren Haken übertragen, so dass die Seitenwände nahe der Oberkanten oftmals bereits nach kurzem Gebrauch einreißen.Known suspension files of this type have a web of cardboard or plastic, in particular polypropylene (PP) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is intended to be hooked by means of attached to it by rails paired hooks in a shelf, a file cabinet or the like to become. In this case, the laterally projecting hooks engage in receiving rails of the filing cabinet and carry the weight of the suspension file as well as the recorded in her Schriftguts. The written material lies on the folder bottom. This is formed by the fold for smaller suspension files. For larger suspension files, which are intended for receiving larger amounts of documents, the web has two folds, between which extends a lot of the web as a folder bottom. In general, the suspension files are open at the side edges, so that the receiving space for the documents is also accessible from the side edges. However, an insertion or removal of documents usually takes place from above, ie between the upper edges. It act, especially if at the same time large amounts of documents fall into the suspension file, considerable forces on the folder bottom, which favor its wear. To counter this, it has already been proposed to carry out the folder bottom more than the side walls. However, the forces are transmitted through the side walls on the rails and their hooks, so that the side walls near the top edges often tear after a short use.

Aus der US 2 528 485 A ist eine Hängemappe aus einer Bahn aus Papier, Karton oder ähnlichem Material bekannt, wobei die Bahn an den Oberkanten und an den Seitenkanten umgefaltet ist. Der umgefaltete Abschnitt an den Oberkanten nimmt einen Draht mit Haken auf, um die Hängemappe aufhängen zu können. Die umgefalteten Abschnitte an den Seitenkanten verstärken die Hängemappe an diesen Stellen. Aufgrund der umständlichen Faltung ist diese Hängemappe jedoch aufwendig zu fertigen.
US-A-4966639 zeigt auch der stand der Technik.From the US 2 528 485 A is a suspension file made of a web of paper, cardboard or similar material, with the web at the top edges and folded over at the side edges. The folded-up section at the top edges picks up a wire with hooks to hang the hanging file. The folded sections on the side edges reinforce the suspension file at these points. Due to the complicated folding this suspension file is expensive to manufacture.
US-A-4966639 also shows the state of the art.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Hängemappe der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass sie einfacher zu fertigen ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a suspension file of the type mentioned in such a way that it is easier to manufacture.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Hängemappe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a suspension file with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass Kräfte, die in der Mappe auftreten, durch das Verstärkungselement bzw. durch die Verstärkungselemente in der Nähe der Haken konzentriert werden und dadurch zusätzliche Momente, die in der Mitte der Oberkanten in den Seitenwänden auftreten, reduziert werden. Insbesondere werden Quer- und Diagonalkräfte, die undefiniert auf die Seitenwände im Bereich der Oberkanten wirken, reduziert. Die beim Einlegen von Schriftgut auftretenden Kräfte werden daher in erhöhtem Maße im Bereich des Verstärkungselements bzw. der Verstärkungselemente auf die Schiene übertragen. In diesem Bereich sind die Seitenwände jedoch durch das Verstärkungselement bzw. die Verstärkungselemente verstärkt und daher belastbarer. Jedes der Verstärkungselemente ist im Abstand zur jeweiligen Seitenkante angeordnet. Dies bewirkt eine ausreichende Erhöhung der Stabilität der Hängemappe bei gleichzeitig geringem Fertigungsaufwand.The invention is based on the idea that forces that occur in the folder are concentrated by the reinforcing element or by the reinforcing elements in the vicinity of the hook and thereby additional moments that occur in the middle of the upper edges in the side walls can be reduced. In particular, transverse and diagonal forces, which act on the side walls in the region of the upper edges in an undefined manner, are reduced. The forces occurring during the insertion of documents are therefore transmitted to a greater extent in the region of the reinforcing element or the reinforcing elements on the rail. In this area, however, the side walls are reinforced by the reinforcing element or reinforcing elements and therefore more resilient. Each of the reinforcing elements is arranged at a distance from the respective side edge. This causes a sufficient increase in the stability of the suspension file with low manufacturing costs.

Es ist möglich, dass die Hängemappe lediglich ein Verstärkungselement entlang einer der beiden Seitenkanten aufweist. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass sich entlang jeder der beiden Seitenkanten ein Verstärkungselement von einer Oberkante zur anderen erstreckt. Dadurch wird die Belastbarkeit der Hängemappe gegenüber der Ausführungsform mit lediglich einem Verstärkungselement noch weiter verbessert.It is possible that the suspension file has only one reinforcing element along one of the two side edges. However, it is preferred that along each of the two side edges, a reinforcing element of one upper edge to the other extends. As a result, the load capacity of the suspension file over the embodiment with only one reinforcing element is further improved.

Das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement kann an einer dem Aufnahmeraum für das Schriftgut abgewandten Außenseite oder der dem Aufnahmeraum zugewandten Innenseite der Bahn befestigt sein. Die Wirkung ist, unabhängig vom Anbringungsort, im wesentlichen dieselbe. Das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement wird daher dort angebracht, wo es fertigungstechnisch am einfachsten möglich ist.The at least one reinforcing element can be fastened to an outer side facing away from the receiving space for the documents or to the inner side of the web facing the receiving space. The effect is essentially the same regardless of the place of attachment. The at least one reinforcing element is therefore mounted where it is the simplest possible manufacturing technology.

Vorzugsweise ist das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement auf die Bahn aufgeklebt. Dabei kann es besonders einfach als handelsübliches Klebeband ausgebildet sein. Wenn die Bahn aus Karton besteht, ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement ein Kartonstreifen ist.Preferably, the at least one reinforcing element is glued to the web. It may be particularly easily formed as a commercial adhesive tape. If the web is made of cardboard, it is also advantageous if the at least one reinforcing element is a cardboard strip.

Das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement erstreckt sich vorteilhaft über mindestens eine der Oberkanten hinaus und verläuft dann zumindest ein Stück weit entlang der anderen Seite der Bahn. Es verstärkt die Bahn dann zumindest abschnittsweise sowohl an deren Innenseite als auch an deren Außenseite, wobei es sich an einer dieser Seiten von einer Oberkante zur anderen erstreckt..The at least one reinforcing element advantageously extends beyond at least one of the upper edges and then runs at least for a distance along the other side of the web. It then reinforces the web, at least in sections, both on the inside and on the outside thereof, extending from one top edge to the other on one of these sides.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement in die Bahn integriert ist. Insbesondere kann es mindestens einen innerhalb der Bahn verlaufenden Faden aufweisen, der vorteilhaft aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Nylon, aus Metall oder aus Naturfaser, insbesondere aus Wolle, besteht.An alternative embodiment provides that the at least one reinforcing element is integrated in the web. In particular, it can have at least one thread extending within the web, which advantageously consists of plastic, in particular of nylon, of metal or of natural fiber, in particular of wool.

Zweckmäßig weist die Hängemappe an jeder Oberkante eine über die Seitenkanten überstehende, die Haken tragende Schiene auf, die die Oberkante umgreift und formschlüssig mit dem mindestens einen Verstärkungselement verbunden ist. Die formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Verstärkungselement verleiht der Hängemappe eine höhere Stabilität im Vergleich zu einer Hängemappe, bei der die Schiene nur mit der Bahn verbunden ist.Suitably, the suspension file on each upper edge on the side edges projecting, the hook-carrying rail, which engages around the upper edge and is positively connected to the at least one reinforcing element. The positive connection with the reinforcing element gives the suspension file a higher stability compared to a suspension file in which the rail is connected only to the web.

Eine Hängemappe 10 für Schriftgut weist eine Bahn 12 aus faltbarem Material, im vorliegenden Fall Karton, auf. Die Bahn 12 weist zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Oberkanten 14 sowie die Oberkanten 14 miteinander verbindende Seitenkanten 16 auf. Etwa in der Mitte der Bahn 12 verlaufen im Abstand zueinander zwei Falze 18 zwischen den Seitenkanten 16. Die Falze 18 bilden die Trennlinie zwischen einem Mappenboden 20 und zwei Seitenwänden 22, welche an den Oberkanten 14 enden. An den Oberkanten 14 ist jeweils eine Schiene 24 mit endseitig angeordneten Haken 26 befestigt, welche über die Seitenkanten 16 überstehen. An den Haken 26 wird die Hängemappe 10 in die Aufnahmeschienen eines Aktenschranks eingehängt. Ein durch die in Fig. 1 gezeigten Innenseiten 28 der Seitenwände 22 und des Mappenbodens 20 begrenzter Aufnahmeraum für das Schriftgut ist von oben her zugänglich, wenn die Hängemappe 10 im Aktenschrank hängt. Gleichzeitig ist die Hängemappe 10 auch an den Seitenkanten 16 offen, so dass auch seitlich Schriftgut eingelegt werden kann. An der rechten Seite in Fig. 1 weist die Bahn 12 einen Seitenstreifen 30 auf, der, wie strichpunktiert angedeutet, entlang der rechten Seitenkante 16 gefaltet wird, bis eine rechte Partie 31 auf der der Innenseite 28 abgewandten Außenseite 32 aufliegt. Die beiden Partien des Seitenstreifens 30 sind miteinander verklebt, so dass die Hängemappe 10 an der rechten Seitenkante 16 verstärkt ist. Von dieser Seite kann somit Schriftgut in den Aufnahmeraum eingelegt werden, wobei der Seitenstreifen 30 als Einführhilfe dient. Im Bereich der Haken 26 verringert sich die Breite des Seitenstreifens 30 zu den Oberkanten 14 hin, so dass die Haken 26 auch an der rechten Seite über die Seitenkante 16 überstehen. Auch an den Oberkanten 14 ist die Bahn 12 gefaltet, wobei obere Streifen 34 auf die Innenseite 28 aufgeklebt sind. Zwischen den oberen Streifen 34 und den Seitenwänden 22 ist die Schiene 24 eingesetzt.A suspension file 10 for documents has a web 12 of foldable material, in the present case cardboard on. The web 12 has two mutually spaced upper edges 14 and the upper edges 14 interconnecting side edges 16. Approximately in the middle of the web 12 at a distance from each other two folds 18 between the side edges 16. The folds 18 form the dividing line between a folder bottom 20 and two side walls 22 which terminate at the upper edges 14. At the upper edges 14, a rail 24 is attached with hooks 26 arranged at the ends, which project beyond the side edges 16. On the hook 26, the suspension file 10 is suspended in the receiving rails of a filing cabinet. A through the in Fig. 1 shown inner sides 28 of the side walls 22 and the folder bottom 20 limited receiving space for the documents is accessible from above when the hanging folder 10 is hanging in the filing cabinet. At the same time, the suspension file 10 is also open at the side edges 16, so that also laterally records can be inserted. In the right side in Fig. 1 the web 12 has a side strip 30, which, as indicated by dash-dotted lines, is folded along the right side edge 16 until a right portion 31 rests on the outside 32 remote from the inside 28. The two parts of the side strip 30 are glued together, so that the suspension file 10 is reinforced at the right side edge 16. From this page, documents can thus be inserted into the receiving space, with the side strip 30 serving as an insertion aid. In the area of the hooks 26, the width of the side strip 30 decreases towards the upper edges 14, so that the hooks 26 also project beyond the side edge 16 on the right side. Also at the upper edges 14, the web 12 is folded, with upper strips 34 are glued to the inside 28. Between the upper strips 34 and the side walls 22, the rail 24 is inserted.

Entlang der Seitenkanten 16 sind auf die Außenseite 32 flexible Verstärkungselemente in Form zweier Klebebänder 36 aus Kunststoff aufgeklebt. Diese verlaufen im Abstand zu den Seitenkanten 16 von einer Oberkante 14 zur anderen. Der Abstand des linken Klebebands zur linken Seitenkante 16 ist dabei geringer als der des rechten Klebebands zur rechten Seitenkante 16, an der dieses unter der umgeklappten Partie des Seitenstreifens 30 angeordnet und dadurch nicht sichtbar ist. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass an der rechten Seite das Klebeband 36 noch weiter von der Seitenkante 16 entfernt aufgeklebt wird, so dass es für den Betrachter sichtbar ist. Die Klebebänder 36 verstärken die Seitenwände 22 und sorgen dafür, dass die auf den Mappenboden 20 wirkenden Gewichtskräfte des eingelegten Schriftguts in der Nähe der Haken 26 auf die Schienen 24 übertragen werden. Der Mappenboden 20 ist ebenfalls verstärkt und aus doppellagigem Karton ausgeführt.Along the side edges 16 32 flexible reinforcing elements in the form of two adhesive tapes 36 are glued to the outside of plastic. These run at a distance from the side edges 16 from an upper edge 14 to the other. The distance of the left adhesive tape to the left side edge 16 is less than that of the right-hand adhesive tape to the right side edge 16 at which this is arranged under the folded portion of the side strip 30 and thus is not visible. However, it is also possible that on the right side, the adhesive tape 36 is glued farther away from the side edge 16, so that it is visible to the viewer. The adhesive tapes 36 reinforce the side walls 22 and ensure that the weight forces of the inserted writing material acting on the folder bottom 20 in the vicinity of the hooks 26 are transmitted to the rails 24. The folder bottom 20 is also reinforced and made of double-layered cardboard.

Die Hängemappe 110 gemäß dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 2) ist in vielen Details identisch ausgeführt, so dass die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet werden. Sie unterscheidet sich vom ersten Ausführungsbeispiel im wesentlichen in zwei Punkten: zum einen weist sie keinen Seitenstreifen 30 auf. Zum anderen ist die die Haken 26 tragende Schiene 24 im Querschnitt V-förmig ausgebildet und auf die Seitenwände 22 an den Oberkanten 14 aufgesetzt. Die Befestigung der Schienen 24 an den Seitenwänden 22 erfolgt durch Verformen der Schiene 24 und Einklemmen der Seitenwände 22 an mehreren Prägepunkten 40. Diese sind formschlüssig in die Bahn 12 eingepreßt. Ihnen gegenüber weisen die Schienen 24 jeweils ein Fenster 42 auf, durch das der jeweilige Prägepunkt 40 die Bahn 12 ein Stück weit durchdrückt. Anstelle des Fensters 42 kann beispielsweise auch eine Wölbung nach außen vorgesehen sein, die in etwa komplementär zum Prägepunkt 40 ausgeführt ist, so dass die Bahn 12 in die Wölbung gedrückt ist. Auch im zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Bahn 12 aus Karton gefertigt. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, eine Bahn aus Polypropylen oder aus Polyvinylchlorid zu verwenden, an der die Schienen angeschweißt werden. Auch eine Anbringung von einzelnen Haken, die nicht durch eine Schiene miteinander verbunden sind, ist möglich. Auch die Hängemappe 110 gemäß dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel weist an der Außenseite 32 der Bahn im Abstand zu den Seitenkanten 16 von einer Oberkante 14 zur anderen verlaufende, auf die Seitenwände 22 aufgeklebte Klebebänder 36 als Verstärkungselemente auf. Jeweils einer der Prägepunkte 40 ist, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, formschlüssig in eines der Klebebänder 36 eingepreßt.The hanging file 110 according to the second embodiment ( Fig. 2 ) is identical in many details, so the same reference numerals are used. It differs from the first embodiment essentially in two points: first, it has no side strip 30 on. On the other hand, the rail 26 supporting the rail 24 is formed in cross-section V-shaped and placed on the side walls 22 at the upper edges 14. The attachment of the rails 24 on the side walls 22 by deforming the rail 24 and pinching the side walls 22 at a plurality of embossing points 40. These are positively pressed into the web 12. Opposite them, the rails 24 each have a window 42 through which the respective embossing point 40 pushes the web 12 a distance. Instead of the window 42 may for example also be provided a curvature to the outside, which is designed to be approximately complementary to the embossing point 40, so that the web 12 is pressed into the curvature. Also in the second embodiment, the web 12 is made of cardboard. However, it is also possible to use a polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride sheet to which the rails are welded. An attachment of individual hooks that are not connected by a rail is possible. Also, the suspension wall 110 according to the second embodiment has on the outer side 32 of the web at a distance from the side edges 16 from one upper edge 14 to the other extending, glued to the side walls 22 adhesive tapes 36 as reinforcing elements. Each one of the embossing points 40 is, as in Fig. 3 represented, positively pressed into one of the adhesive tapes 36.

Zusammenfassend ist folgendes festzuhalten:

  • Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hängemappe 10, 110 zur Aufnahme von Schriftgut, welche eine Bahn 12 aus faltbarem Material mit zwei Oberkanten 14 und zwei die Oberkanten 14 miteinander verbindenden Seitenkanten 16 aufweist, die an einem Mappenboden 20 unter Bildung mindestens eines Falzes 18 gefaltet ist, und die zwei sich vom Mappenboden 20 zu den Oberkanten 14 erstreckende Seitenwände 22 aufweist, wobei an den Oberkanten 14 jeweils über die Seitenkanten 16 überstehende Haken 26 befestigt sind.
  • Die Hängemappe 10, 110 weist mindestens ein mit der Bahn 12 verbundenes Verstärkungselement 36 auf, das sich entlang einer der Seitenkanten 16 von einer Oberkante 14 zur anderen erstreckt. Erfindungsgemäß ist das mindestens eine Verstärkungselement 36 im Abstand zur jeweiligen Seitenkante 16 angeordnet.
