Description

The subject of the invention is an improved expandable filing cabinet. The invention

  relates to the technical classification sector. Several types of binders are known on the market

so-called expandable.

  It is recalled that an extendable file comprises an element

  pocket and a flap support element. The latter is cons-

  with a part which is introduced into said pocket, and

  another external part which constitutes the back flap.

  A strap with link loop receiving an iron slide

  meture is fixed on the flap element, and transverse cross-

  said pocket. The end of the strap is free and

  just in the loop around the slide when closing

  folder. By appropriate and intermediate fixing, the

  gle allows an extensibility of the file. The strap is made of a non-elastic fabric. In practice, we realize that the closure is insufficient, the least vibrations, tensions

  exercised or transmitted on the extendable file provo-

  quent displacement behind the slide gradually releasing the strand of the strap. Thus the closure relaxes and the extendable file is no longer properly closed. Furthermore and

  according to another drawback, the end of the free strand of the health

  gle is floating if the thickness of the documents stored in the

workbook is weak.

  Another attachment system has been proposed which consists in arranging the strap and certain parts of the filing cabinet with means of the hook-and-loop type such as those sold under the brands VELCRO and CRIC CRAC. For this purpose, the strap has on certain parts of its length, on one side of the hooks or

  mushrooms, while on the pocket or flap of the class-

  stretch bands are arranged with loops of link

  his. It is thus conceived according to this embodiment that the loop and the slide are eliminated, the user adjusting the different

  additional hook-and-loop fastening parts.

  However, such an embodiment has two drawbacks.

  major customers. Indeed, depending on the thickness of the documents

  elements & transport in the filing cabinet, the operator will try to-

  follow the length of the strap and secure the components

  connecting elements. In practice, we realize that the

  tensioning the strap is ineffective and loose allowing

  sant a certain movement of the documents. This situation comes

  the fact that the strap fitted with hook-and-loop means does not

  does not of itself the best fit of the flap flap and

  the pocket constituting the extendable file.

  It should also be remembered that the straps are long

  standard sizes defined by the maximum outside of the file cabinet.

  To allow closing the workbook with the

  the aforementioned hook-and-loop yen, the former must necessarily

  free end of the strap partially overlaps the

  flap or pocket flap arranged with complementary means.

  In order for the clamping to be effective, the overlap length must be sufficient. Under these conditions, it therefore appears that

  the user cannot use the full capacity of extensibility

header of the binder.

  The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to remedy

deny the aforementioned drawbacks.

  The solution found is simple and combines in combination

  its some of the prior art means for a new result

veal.

  The tightening behavior is improved, and the filing cabinet uses

  read with a document storage capacity with the maximum

of its extensibility.

  According to a first characteristic, the workbook comprises

  takes a pocket element and a flap support element consisting of a part slidably inserted into said pocket and another external part constituting the flap, slots

  being arranged for the passage of a strap, said strap pre-

  feeling at its end male hook-and-loop means

  rant with self-gripping female means arranged transversely

pocket and folder flap.

  According to the invention, the strap is arranged at its end.

  fixed mite (3.1) located on the back flap with a loop (4) provided without any additional means such as sliding. The other end (3.2) of the strap is arranged over a part of its length with hooking means of the hook (5), mushroom type and in general male means of a hook-and-loop fastener. In addition, female hook-and-loop hook type elements (6) are arranged on

  the visible side (1.3) of the cover (broken lines, fi-

  gure 1). The elements (6) are arranged transversely over the entire width of the pouch and, as a variant, are designed in the form of pellets (7) thus achieving point zones

hanging.

  In addition, the strap (8) can be fitted

  gée at its end (8.1) with male hook-and-loop means (8.2) in succession and adjacent with female means (8.3) thus allowing the filing cabinet to be closed, if it is very

  thick, straight from the strap itself by flip-flops

  ment relative to the branch of the loop (Figures 4 and 5).

  The strap can thus have on its fixing face and over all or part of its length in the external position an alternation of zones with male hook-and-loop parts (8.2) and female hook-and-loop parts (8.3) to ensure the best tightening adjustment. of the filing cabinet in combination with the return and tensioning effect given by the loop (4). It is also intended that the loop (4) can be brought as close as possible to the side edge of the flap flap to in certain cases allow it to be positioned on the edge of the extendable filing cabinet. For this purpose, the corresponding slot for passage of

the strap is close together.

  - 5 - When the extendable file is not used, or

  thin, the end of the strap can cooperate and

  drift with the complementary looped area lying overlapping

  rear attachment to the back of the filing cabinet (Figures 6 and 7).

  - It is also obvious that there may be a

  reversal of the position of the male hook-and-loop means

  females on the strap and the pouch without departing from the scope of the invention. The advantage of this embodiment lies in the fact that O10 the loop (4) constitutes a means of return and tensioning of the strap (3), ensuring perfect tightening of the file in

  closed position. the end of the strap cooperating and adjusting

  both with the second complementary hook-and-loop means

  arranged on the pocket and on the strap itself.
