Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cover for binding a bundle of sheets.
  • a disadvantage is that the bound bundle obtained remains difficult to keep open and that, certainly with thick bundles, problems can arise with the visibility or legibility of the sheets in the area closest to the spine.
  • cover comprises a spine and binding profile which are separate, in which binding profile sheets may be clamped before being connected to the spine
  • US 2006/0290133 discloses a cover according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein loose sheets are intended to be attached to a binding profile by means of rods going through holes in the legs of the binding profile and through corresponding holes provided in the sheets.
  • the aim of the present invention is to offer a solution to one or more of the aforementioned and/or other disadvantages by providing a cover for binding a bundle of sheets, whereby the cover comprises a spine with flaps attached thereto, characterised in that the cover comprises in addition a loose binding profile with a bottom and two legs between which a bundle of sheets can be clamped, said binding profile is made from a springy or other material or comprises a hinge that allows the legs to move toward or away from one another and which binding profile can be attached to the spine of the cover after clamping the bundle of sheets, whereby there are pegs in the binding profile that, can cut through the bundle.
  • An advantage is that the bound bundle of sheets is secured firmly in the cover and cannot come loose under the effect of a tractive force, irrespective of the direction of that force.
  • Another advantage is that binding a bundle of sheets in the cover is very simple, so that the cover is very user friendly.
  • a further advantage is that the cover is simple to manufacture since the binding profile and the cover are easy to make as separate components.
  • Means are preferably provided to prevent a bundle clasped in the binding profile being pulled out of the binding profile in a crosswise direction.
  • Another advantage is that repeatedly opening up the bundle and pressing it flat has no effect on the binding of the bundle in the cover.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a cover 1 with a bound bundle, whereby the cover consists chiefly of a spine 2 and two flaps 3 attached thereto, a front flap 4 and a back flap 5 respectively.
  • the aforementioned flaps 3 and spine 2 can be formed together as a single continuous structure, but it is also possible for the spine 2 and the flaps 3 to be embodied as separate elements that are attached to one another by means of an internal or external covering 6-7, as shown in figure 2 .
  • the spine 2 may be preformed.
  • the spine 2 of the cover is somewhat U-shaped, whereby in the most practical embodiment the legs of the spine converge somewhat.
  • the spine 2 of the cover 1 is made from metal or steel, but it is clear to a man skilled in the art that a number of materials can be employed in the spine 2 and flaps 3.
  • a binding profile 8 of a springy or other material is attached to the spine 2 of the cover 1.
  • the binding profile 8 is a U-shaped profile.
  • the external shape of the binding profile 8 and the internal shape of the spine 2 are substantially matched to one another such that the binding profile 8 can be pushed into the spine 2 along its longitudinal axis.
  • the binding profile 8 is made from a synthetic material, such as, for example, plastic or some other man-made material, or from a springy or other metal, but the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the binding profile 8 comprises a bottom 9 with two upright legs or sidewalls 10-11.
  • the binding profile 8 comprises a hinge that allows the legs 10-11 to move toward or away from one another.
  • the thickness of the binding profile 8 is somewhat thinner at the transitions between the legs 10-11 and the bottom 9, but this is not a requirement of the invention.
  • the aforementioned bottom 9 and legs 10,11 enclose a space 12 into which the bundle of sheets to be bound 13 can be inserted.
  • legs 10,11 of the binding profile 8 are parallel to one another or converge somewhat with one another.
  • the length of the binding profile 8 is approximately equal to or less than the length of the spine 2 of the cover 1, such that in the closed position of the cover 1 the binding profile 8 is not perceptible.
  • means are provided on the binding profile 8 to prevent accidental removal of the bundle 13 from the binding profile 8.
  • the aforementioned pegs 14 are cylindrical and have a length that is greater than or equal to the thickness of the bundle 13 to be bound.
  • the pegs 14 are provided with cutting edges, but in alternative embodiments they can also take other forms and, for example, end in a sharp point.
  • the other leg 11 is provided with depressions 15 of which the diameter corresponds to the diameter of the pins 14.
  • the means of avoiding accidental removal can comprise a thickened part of the inner side of the legs 10-11, whether or not close to the free-standing edges, all such that the bundle 13 inserted is clasped between the thickened edges.
  • the legs 10-11 may be provided on their inside with one or more projections or the legs 10-11 may be provided with an inward-folded edge or a double-folded edge.
  • the U-shaped binding profile 8 is preferably attached with its bottom 9 in the cover 1.
  • the legs 10-11 of the binding profile 8 may also be partly attached to the cover 1 or may be fitted so as to be freely moveable relative to the spine 2 and flaps 3.
  • the aforementioned attachment of the binding profile 8 to the cover is done by means of a glue layer 16.
  • a self-adhesive type of glue is used, such that no heat is required when attaching the binding profile 8 to the cover 1.
  • the aforementioned glue layer may be provided both on the outside of the binding profile 8 or on the spine 2 of the cover 1, in the form of a self-adhesive strip or otherwise to which a covering film may be applied or otherwise.
  • the binding profile 8 is only attached against the spine 2 of the cover 1, but in alternative embodiments it is also possible for one of the two legs 10-11 to be partly stuck to the inside of a flap 3.
  • binding profile 8 to the cover 1 need not necessarily be done by means of glue 16, but rather the binding profile 8 may also be attached to the cover 1 in other ways, for example by providing barbs on the outside of the binding profile 8.
  • the outside of the binding profile 8 comprises one or more projections, preferably in the form of the aforementioned barbs, avoids the binding profile 8 being removed from the spine 2, at an undesired moment.
  • Method for binding a bundle of sheets 13 by means of a cover 1 according to the invention is very simple and as follows.
  • the bundle of sheets 13 to be bound may or may not be bound together, for example by means of one or more staples.
  • the bundle may also be pre-perforated if necessary, but this is not strictly required if a binding profile 8 with sharp pegs 14 is used.
  • the bundle to be bound 13 can be clasped in the loose binding profile 8.
  • legs 10-11 of the binding profile 8 may be opened up a little near their free extremities.
  • the sheets in the bundle 13 will automatically be perforated when they are inserted.
  • the legs 10-11 of the binding profile 8 may be pressed toward one another, so that the sharp edges of the pegs 14 are pressed into the depressions 15 in the other leg 11 and the bundle 13 is clasped firmly in the profile.
  • the binding profile 8 can be attached to the spine 2 of the cover 1, either by a glue layer 16 on the binding profile 8, or by a glue layer 16 on the cover 1, whereupon the bound bundle is firmly attached to the cover.
  • the binding profile 8 with the clasped bundle of sheets 13 has been closed, for the binding profile 8 with the bundle 13 clasped therein to be attached to the cover 1, for example by applying the binding profile 8 to one of the two transverse edges of the cover 1 and then sliding the binding profile 8 to the desired position along the longitudinal axis of the spine 2.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment whereby the bottom of the binding profile 8 is not flat but is made in the form of an arc.
  • Such a binding profile 8 is extremely suitable for being fitted to a cover 1 with a preformed spine that is given a suitable shape.
  • This binding profile is also provided with two pegs 14 on one leg 10 and depressions 15 on the other leg 11.
  • the present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as an example and shown in the figures, but a cover 1 according to the invention for the binding of a bundle of sheets 13 may be realised in all shapes and dimensions without departure from the scope of the invention.
