Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for receiving perforated sheets according to claim 1 and a folder, in particular a set-up file folder, according to claim 15.
  • the folder comprises a mechanism for lining up the sheets, which comprises a plate attached to the rear cover, a pair of fixed lining up rods and a pair of movable legs which are connected to form a folding handle and which can be collapsed with the lining up rods.
  • the folding handle comprises a shaft with a mandrel.
  • a displaceable carriage has an inclined plane which presses the mandrel in a downward sliding movement against the rear cover in order to close the folding handle. With an opposite sliding movement, the inclined plane releases the mandrel upwards.
  • the spring force of the resilient pins attached to the rear cover pushes the mandrel upwards in order to open the folding handle.
  • This mechanism has the disadvantage that the closing and opening of the folding handle is not completely defined by the displacement of the slide. If the resilient pins are defective, the folding handle cannot or does not can only be opened to a limited extent using the sliding mechanism. In addition, intermediate positions of the folding handle during the opening movement, for example to remove a single sheet from the folder, are difficult to adjust, especially when the spring force is high. If the spring force is again too low to move a stack of sheets on the side of the folding bar when opening, the opening of the folding bar must be supported manually.
  • the present invention therefore has the object of providing a device for receiving perforated sheets and a folder with such a device, in which the opening and closing of the retaining bracket is possible reliably and precisely, with the greatest possible flexibility in inserting and removing the perforated sheets should be guaranteed.

  • the bracket web 7 is connected to a pivot lever 4, which is preferably in one piece is designed with the sleeve 42, but can also be attached as a separate part to the sleeve 42, or directly to the bracket web 7.
  • the rod-shaped pivot lever 4 protrudes at right angles from the bracket web 7 or the axis of rotation A in the direction of the slide 5. At its free end, which serves as a guide end 41, the pivot lever 4 forms a ball head.
  • the geometry of the guide end 41 can also be designed as a hemisphere, cylinder pin, block or an angled extension shaped in this way.
  • the pivot lever 4 is preferably rigid, but can also be multi-link, in particular two-link with a connecting joint, so that it can be tilted in the direction of the base plate 2 with respect to a link 6.
  • the slide 5 has a link 6 with a guide recess 61, which is designed here as a guide slot that is open on both sides, but could also be designed as a guide groove that is open on one side toward the pivot lever 4.
  • the guide recess 61 extends in the longitudinal direction of the slide 5 obliquely to the base plate 2 and has a straight course in a longitudinal section of the slide 5.
  • the pivot lever 4 engages with the guide end 41, here the ball head, in the guide recess 61, so that the link 6 with the pivot lever 4 forms a link guide.
  • the guide end 41 of the pivot lever 4 is guided in the guide recess 61 along guide surfaces, namely a closing guide surface 62 and an opening guide surface 63, sliding on both sides, wherein the link guide can have a small amount of play.
  • a displacement of the carriage 5 in one direction has the effect that the pivot lever 4 is pushed upwards away from the base plate 2 by the opening guide surface 63 in the link 6 and the retaining bracket pairs 3 open, as in FIG Figure 2a represented by arrows.
  • the backdrop 6 is shown in a sectional view (blackened).
  • locking elements are provided which releasably fix the pivot lever 4 in the respective position.
  • the locking element is designed as a spherical shell-shaped recess 64 or 65, into which the guide end 41, designed as a spherical head, of the pivot lever 4 is locked.
  • the opening guide surface 63 presses the pivot lever 4 into the recess 65 in an open state of the retaining bracket pairs 3.
  • a corresponding recess 53 for the pivot lever 4 is formed in the lower chord 52 (see, for example, FIG Figure 1a ) so that it can come into a lying position parallel to the base plate 2.
  • the locking guide surface 62 pushes the pivot lever 4 into the recess 64 when the pairs of retaining brackets 3 are closed.
  • the guide surfaces 62, 63 are wider than the diameter of the spherical head, the locking guide surface 62 protruding laterally, namely towards the pivot lever 4, over the opening guide surface 63.
  • the pivot lever 4 can stand up unhindered while it is guided along the link 6 with increasing angle to the base plate 2 without tilting in the guide recess 61. At the same time, it is ensured that the pivot lever does not slip out of the guide recess 61 even when the link guide is heavily loaded.
  • the Figures 4a and 4b show the slide 5 with the link 6, which has a guide slot open on both sides of the slide 5 as a guide recess 61.
  • the guide recess 61 which corresponds to the opening position of the pivot lever 4, there is an assembly channel 66 which allows the guide end 41 of the pivot lever 4 to be inserted or threaded into the guide recess 61 when the device 1 is being assembled from the base plate 2.
  • the assembly channel 66 is open to the side of the pivot lever 4.
  • a blocking element 8 in the form of a cylinder pin is arranged in the area between the guide recess 61 and the assembly channel 66 in a through hole 67 in order to block the assembly channel 66 and to prevent the pivot lever 4 from slipping out of the guide recess 61.
  • the Figure 4c shows the gate 6 in a sectional top view of the slide 5.
  • the gate 6 has a wedge-shaped base body which widens in the direction of the opening position of the pivot lever.
  • the two end positions of the pivot lever 4 and some intermediate positions of the ball head, which, viewed in a vertical projection onto the base plate 2, moves on an arc path with an increasing angle of rotation of the pivot lever 4 (see double arrow), are indicated schematically (dashed).
  • the shape of the link 6 is adapted in the displacement direction B of the slide to this path of the guide end 41 of the pivot lever 4. In this way, it can be prevented that the pivot lever 4 slips out of the guide recess 61 as the pairs of retaining brackets 3 are increasingly opened.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b show a cut-away detailed view of the gate 6, in which the through hole 67 for the locking element 8, the guide recess 61, the assembly channel 66 and the end recesses 64 and 65 in the opening guide surface 63 and closing guide surface 62 for locking the pivot lever 4 can be seen.
  • Figure 6 shows the device with two pairs of retaining brackets 3 in an exploded view, the second brackets 32 being connected to one another via a carrier plate 36, in particular made of metal.
  • the carrier plate 36 is preferably cast into the base plate 2, which defines the distance and the position of the second bracket 32 during casting.
  • the carrier plate 36 can, however, also be inserted into a corresponding recess on the underside of the base plate 2, the second brackets 32 being inserted through through holes in the base plate 2.
  • the Figure 7 shows a device 1 with two pairs of retaining brackets 3 in the closed state and a fixing device 9 of a folder (not shown).
