Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schriftguthülle gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a typed envelope according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Schriftguthüllen werden üblicherweise als Bewerbungsmappen verwendet. Die Bewerbungsunterlagen werden lose zwischen dem Rückdeckel und dem Vorderdeckel eingelegt, wobei der Vorderdeckel oft aus transparentem Kunststoff besteht, während der Rückdeckel undurchsichtig ist. Das Klemmelement dient dazu, die Bewerbungsunterlagen zwischen dem Vorderdeckel und dem Rückdeckel festzuklemmen, so dass sie nicht herausrutschen können, ohne dass hierfür eine Lochung der Unterlagen notwendig ist. Das Klemmelement wird von einer Klemmposition, in der seine Klemmpartie zumindest größtenteils über der Innenseite des Rückdeckels angeordnet ist und meist auf dem Rückdeckel oder den eingelegten Dokumenten aufliegt, in eine Freigabeposition, in der die Klemmpartie zumindest teilweise vom Rückdeckel zurückgezogen ist, beweglich. In der Klemmposition klemmt das Klemmelement die Bewerbungsunterlagen zwischen der Klemmpartie und dem Rückdeckel ein, während es die Bewerbungsunterlagen in der Freigabeposition freigibt. Um die Klemmwirkung zu erzielen, ist die Klemmpartie gegenüber der Basispartie gegen eine Rückstellkraft beweglich, so dass ein Spalt zwischen der Klemmpartie und der Basispartie, in den die Bewerbungsunterlagen eingreifen, aufgeweitet werden kann. Dabei ist es bekannt, Klemmelemente zu verwenden, die einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt sind. Diese haben den Nachteil, dass sie nur begrenzt elastisch sind, so dass der Spalt durch das Einlegen eines dicken Stapels Unterlagen irreversibel aufgeweitet werden kann, so dass eine klemmende Aufnahme eines Blatts oder weniger Blätter Papier danach nicht mehr möglich ist.Such types of letters are usually used as application folders. The application documents are loosely placed between the back cover and the front cover, with the front cover often made of transparent plastic, while the back cover is opaque. The clamping element is used to clamp the application documents between the front cover and the rear cover, so that they can not slip out, without the need for a perforation of the documents is necessary. The clamping element is movable from a clamping position, in which its clamping part is at least largely over the inside of the back cover and usually rests on the back cover or the inserted documents in a release position in which the clamping part is at least partially withdrawn from the back cover. In the clamping position, the clamping element clamps the application documents between the clamping section and the rear cover while it releases the application documents in the release position. In order to achieve the clamping effect, the clamping section is movable relative to the base part against a restoring force, so that a gap between the clamping section and the base section, in which the application documents intervene, can be widened. It is known to use clamping elements, which are made in one piece from plastic. These have the disadvantage that they are only limited elastic, so that the gap can be irreversibly expanded by the insertion of a thick stack of documents, so that a clamping recording of a sheet or fewer sheets of paper is no longer possible thereafter.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schriftguthülle der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass eine bessere Klemmwirkung erzielt wird.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a Schriftguthülle of the type mentioned in such a way that a better clamping effect is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schriftguthülle mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a Schriftguthülle with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Das Dokument US 4,964,746 offenbart eine Schriftguthülle mit einem verstärkte Klemmelement.The document US 4,964,746 discloses a writing pouch with a reinforced clamping element.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass das Klemmelement durch die Verstärkung im Mittelbereich eine ausreichende Klemmwirkung aufweist. Insbesondere an Stellen, an denen das Klemmelement mit dem Rückdeckel oder dem Schriftgut in Berührung kommt, ist es von Vorteil, wenn diese aus Kunststoff bestehen. Dabei werden zwei alternative Ausführungsformen bevorzugt.The invention is based on the idea that the clamping element has a sufficient clamping effect due to the reinforcement in the middle region. In particular, in places where the clamping element comes into contact with the back cover or the documents, it is advantageous if they are made of plastic. Two alternative embodiments are preferred.

Die erste bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Klemmelement einen einstückigen Grundkörper aus Kunststoff sowie eine im Mittelbereich angeordnete, den Grundkörper umgreifende elastische Klemmfeder aus Metallblech aufweist. Die Klemmfeder steht dabei nur mit dem Grundkörper in Berührung und kann keine weiteren Teile der Schriftgutmappe oder die eingelegten Dokumente zerkratzen, wenn das Klemmelement bewegt wird. Indem die Klemmfeder den Grundkörper umgreift, bringt sie die für die Klemmwirkung benötigte Kraft auf. Vorteilhaft weist der Grundkörper eine Vertiefung auf, in der die Klemmfeder aufgenommen ist. Die Vertiefung weist zweckmäßig eine Tiefe auf, die der Dicke des Metallblechs entspricht, so dass das Klemmelement eine glatte und für den Benutzer angenehm zu greifende Oberfläche aufweist. Durch die Aufnahme in der Vertiefung ist die Klemmfeder gegen Verrutschen gesichert. Zusätzlich oder alternativ ist es möglich, dass der Grundkörper einen vorstehenden Zapfen aufweist, der in ein Loch in der Klemmfeder eingreift und diese so fixiert.The first preferred embodiment provides that the clamping element has a one-piece base body made of plastic and a spring arranged in the central region, encompassing the base body elastic clamping spring made of sheet metal. The clamping spring is only in contact with the base body and can not scratch any other parts of the document folder or the inserted documents when the clamping element is moved. By the clamping spring engages around the body, it brings the force required for the clamping action. Advantageously, the base body has a recess in which the clamping spring is received. The depression expediently has a depth which corresponds to the thickness of the metal sheet, so that the clamping element has a smooth and comfortable for the user to gripping surface. By receiving in the recess, the clamping spring is secured against slipping. Additionally or alternatively, it is possible that the base body has a protruding pin which engages in a hole in the clamping spring and fixes it.

Die zweite bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Klemmelement einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist und dass die Klemmpartie im Mittelbereich eine größere Dicke aufweist als in den Endbereichen. Die Klemmpartie gliedert sich somit zumindest in drei Abschnitte, nämlich den dickeren Mittelbereich und die beiderseits des Mittelbereichs angeordneten, dünneren Endbereiche. Der dicke Mittelbereich bewirkt eine große Klemmkraft, so dass auch größere Mengen von Dokumenten geklemmt werden können. Während der Mittelbereich aufgrund seiner Dicke anfällig ist für eine plastische Aufweitung, ist diese Anfälligkeit in den dünneren Endbereichen nicht so stark ausgeprägt, so dass auch nach einer Aufweitung des Mittelbereichs die Elastizität in den Endbereichen groß genug ist, um nach dem Entnehmen einer größeren Menge an Dokumenten auch wieder eine kleinere Menge an Dokumenten klemmen zu können. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass die Dicke der Klemmpartie von den Endbereichen zum Mittelbereich hin in Stufen zunimmt.The second preferred embodiment provides that the clamping element is made in one piece from plastic and that the clamping part in the central region has a greater thickness than in the end regions. The clamping section is thus divided into at least three sections, namely the thicker central area and the thinner end areas arranged on both sides of the central area. The thick central area causes a large clamping force, so that even larger amounts of documents can be clamped. While the central region is susceptible to plastic expansion due to its thickness, this vulnerability is not so pronounced in the thinner end regions, so that even after a widening of the middle region, the elasticity in the end regions is large enough to take up a larger amount after removal Documents again a smaller amount of documents to be able to pinch. It is preferred that the thickness of the clamping section increases in stages from the end regions to the central region.

Zweckmäßig erstreckt sich die Klemmpartie ausgehend von der Basispartie von dieser weg und anschließend wieder ein Stück weit auf diese zu. Hierdurch entsteht ein gekrümmter Abschnitt, der zum einen durch elastische Verformung die Rückstellkraft bei der Aufweitung des Spalts aufbringt. Zum anderen wird mittels des gekrümmten Abschnitts bei der ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform die Klemmfeder ohne weitere Befestigungsmittel in ihrer Position gehalten, so dass sie zumindest in einer Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung nur schwer verrutschen kann.Appropriately extends the clamping part, starting from the base part of this away and then back a little way to this. This results in a curved portion, which on the one hand by elastic deformation, the restoring force in the expansion of the gap applies. On the other hand, by means of the curved section in the first preferred embodiment, the clamping spring is held in its position without any further fastening means, so that it is difficult to slip at least in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction.

Vorteilhaft weist die Klemmpartie eine einstückig angeformte, zur Basispartie hin vorstehende und sich in der Längsrichtung erstreckende Klemmrippe aus Kunststoff auf. Die Klemmwirkung tritt dann zwischen der Klemmrippe und dem Rückdeckel ein. Die Klemmrippe kann gerade ausgeführt sein, so dass sie über ihre volle Länge auf den zu klemmenden Dokumenten aufliegt.Advantageously, the clamping part has an integrally formed, projecting towards the base part and extending in the longitudinal direction clamping rib made of plastic. The clamping action then occurs between the clamping rib and the rear cover. The clamping rib can be made straight, so that it rests over its full length on the documents to be clamped.

Es ist möglich, das Klemmelement längsverschieblich am Rückdeckel und/oder am Vorderdeckel anzuordnen. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass das Klemmelement um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar am Rückdeckel und/oder am Vorderdeckel angeordnet ist. Die Schwenkachse befestigt dabei vorzugsweise die Basispartie am Rückdeckel.It is possible to arrange the clamping element longitudinally displaceable on the rear cover and / or on the front cover. However, it is preferred that the clamping element is arranged pivotably about a pivot axis on the rear cover and / or on the front cover. The pivot axis preferably attaches the base section on the rear cover.

Der Rückdeckel und der Vorderdeckel sind vorteilhaft entlang der Seitenkante mittels eines Falzes miteinander verbunden. Um eine Bewegung des Klemmelements zu ermöglichen, weist der Vorderdeckel dann ein zur Seitenkante hin randoffenes Fenster zur Aufnahme der Klemmpartie auf, das den Falz unterbricht.The back cover and the front cover are advantageously connected together along the side edge by means of a fold. In order to allow movement of the clamping element, the front cover then has a side edge edge-open window for receiving the clamping part, which interrupts the fold.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Schriftguthülle 10 weist einen Rückdeckel 12 sowie einen Vorderdeckel 14 auf. Der Rückdeckel 12 und der Vorderdeckel 14 sind entlang einer Seitenkante 16 durch einen Falz 18 miteinander verbunden, so dass sie einerseits deckungsgleich aufeinander gelegt werden können, wie in Fig. 1a gezeigt, und andererseits aufgeklappt werden können, so dass sie nebeneinander liegen, wie in Fig. 1b gezeigt. In der Mitte der Seitenkante 16 ist der Falz 18 durch ein randoffenes Fenster 20 im Vorderdeckel 14 unterbrochen. Im Bereich des Fensters 20 ist ein Klemmelement 22 angeordnet, mit dem zwischen dem Rückdeckel 12 und dem Vorderdeckel 14 eingelegte Dokumente klemmend festgehalten werden können. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Klemmelement 22 mittels einer Schwenkachse 24 am Rückdeckel 12 angelenkt und kann von einer Klemmstellung (Fig. 1a, b), in der es die Seitenkante 16 im Bereich des Fensters 20 umgreift, in eine Freigabestellung (Fig. 1c) verschwenkt werden, in der es vollständig von der dem Vorderdeckel 14 zugewandten Innenseite 26 des Rückdeckels 12 entfernt ist.The illustrated in the drawing Schriftguthülle 10 has a rear cover 12 and a front cover 14. The back cover 12 and the front cover 14 are connected together along a side edge 16 by a fold 18, so that they can be placed congruent one on the other hand, as in Fig. 1a shown, and on the other hand can be unfolded so that they are adjacent to each other, as in Fig. 1b shown. In the middle of the side edge 16 of the fold 18 is interrupted by an open-edge window 20 in the front cover 14. In the region of the window 20, a clamping element 22 is arranged, with which documents inserted between the rear cover 12 and the front cover 14 can be held in a clamping manner. For this purpose, the clamping element 22 is articulated by means of a pivot axis 24 on the rear cover 12 and can from a clamping position ( Fig. 1a . b ), in which it surrounds the side edge 16 in the region of the window 20, in a release position ( Fig. 1c ), in which it is completely removed from the front cover 14 facing inside 26 of the rear cover 12.

Das Klemmelement 22 weist eine an der der Innenseite 26 abgewandten Außenseite 28 des Rückdeckels 12 anliegende Basispartie 30 sowie eine einstückig mit der Basispartie 30 verbundene Klemmpartie 32 auf. Die Klemmpartie 32 erstreckt sich in einem ersten Abschnitt 34 nach oben von der Basispartie 30 weg und in einem zweiten Abschnitt 36, der sich an den ersten Abschnitt 34 anschließt, wieder nach unten auf die Basispartie 30 zu. In einem Spalt 38 zwischen der Basispartie 30 und der Klemmpartie 32 ist in der Klemmstellung ein umgefalteter Endabschnitt 40 des Rückdeckels 12 aufgenommen, der eine Einschubtasche 42 für die aufzunehmenden Dokumente bildet. Der Spalt 38 kann gegen eine elastische Rückstellkraft durch Verbiegen des ersten Abschnitts 34 der Klemmpartie 32 aufgeweitet werden.The clamping element 22 has an on the inside 26 facing away from the outside 26 of the back cover 12 adjacent base portion 30 and an integrally connected to the base portion 30 clamping portion 32. The clamping part 32 extends in a first portion 34 upwards away from the base portion 30 and in a second portion 36, which adjoins the first portion 34, again down to the base portion 30 to. In a gap 38 between the base portion 30 and the clamping portion 32 a folded end portion 40 of the back cover 12 is added in the clamping position, which forms an insertion pocket 42 for the documents to be recorded. The gap 38 can be widened against elastic restoring force by bending the first portion 34 of the clamping portion 32.

Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 2b, 3a, 3b) weist das Klemmelement 22 einen Grundkörper 44 aus Kunststoff auf. Der Grundkörper 44 erstreckt sich sowohl über die Basispartie 30 als auch die Klemmpartie 32. In der in Längsrichtung des Klemmelements 22, die sich in der Klemmstellung (Fig. 1a, 1b, 2a) parallel zur Seitenkante 16 erstreckt, angeordneten Mitte des Klemmelements 22 weist der Grundkörper 44 sowohl in der Basispartie 30 als auch in der Klemmpartie 32 an der dem Rückdeckel 12 und dem Vorderdeckel 14 abgewandten Außenseite eine Vertiefung 46 auf, in der eine Klemmfeder 48 aus elastischem Metallblech aufgenommen ist. Somit sind in Längsrichtung betrachtet die Endbereiche 50 des Klemmelements 22 nicht verstärkt, während der Mittelbereich 52 durch die Klemmfeder 48 verstärkt ist, so dass die Rückstellkraft zu einem großen Teil von der sehr gut elastisch verformbaren Klemmfeder 48 aufgebracht wird. Die Tiefe der Vertiefung 36 entspricht dabei der Dicke des Blechs der Klemmfeder 48, so dass das Klemmelement 22 eine glatte Oberfläche aufweist. Am freien Ende des zweiten Abschnitts 36 der Klemmpartie 32 steht aus dem Grundkörper 44 in Richtung zur Basispartie 30 eine gerade in Längsrichtung verlaufende Klemmrippe 54 vor, die auf dem Endabschnitt 40 aufliegt.According to a first embodiment ( Fig. 2b . 3a . 3b ), the clamping element 22 has a base body 44 made of plastic. The main body 44 extends over both the base portion 30 and the clamping portion 32. In the longitudinal direction of the clamping member 22, which in the Clamping position ( Fig. 1a . 1b . 2a ) extending parallel to the side edge 16, arranged center of the clamping element 22, the base body 44 both in the base portion 30 and in the clamping portion 32 on the back cover 12 and the front cover 14 remote from the outside a recess 46 in which a clamping spring 48 made of elastic Metal sheet is added. Thus, viewed in the longitudinal direction, the end portions 50 of the clamping element 22 are not reinforced, while the central region 52 is reinforced by the clamping spring 48, so that the restoring force is applied to a large extent by the very elastically deformable clamping spring 48. The depth of the recess 36 corresponds to the thickness of the sheet of the clamping spring 48, so that the clamping element 22 has a smooth surface. At the free end of the second portion 36 of the clamping portion 32 projects from the base body 44 in the direction of the base portion 30 a straight longitudinally extending clamping rib 54 which rests on the end portion 40.

Das Klemmelement 122 gemäß Fig. 4a, b, c unterscheidet sich nur in einem Detail vom Klemmelement 22 gemäß Fig. 3a, b. Gleiche Merkmale sind daher mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Das in Fig. 1, 2 gezeigte Klemmelement 22 kann ohne weiteres durch das Klemmelement 122 gemäß Fig. 4a, b, c ersetzt werden. Das Klemmelement 122 ist einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt, wobei sich die Dicke sowohl der Basispartie 30 als auch der Klemmpartie 32 von den Endbereichen 50 ausgehend in Stufen 56 bis zum Mittelbereich 52 vergrößert. Wie schon beim Klemmelement 22 gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel erstreckt sich die Klemmrippe 54 nicht über die gesamte Länge der Klemmpartie 32.The clamping element 122 according to Fig. 4a . b, c differs only in a detail from the clamping element 22 according to Fig. 3a , b. Identical features are therefore provided with the same reference numerals. This in Fig. 1 . 2 shown clamping element 22 can easily by the clamping element 122 according to Fig. 4a . b, c be replaced.
