DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for fixing a base of a binding device, and more particularly, it is very easy to fix a base of a binding device to a spine or back cover serving as a surface to be fixed. The present invention relates to a base fixing structure capable of separating a binding device and a cover and promoting separation and disposal or reuse of the binding device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, binders having a binding device on the inner surface side of a spine or a back cover are commercially available. The binding tools used for the binders include, for example,
It comprises a base, a pair of binding plates disposed on both left and right sides of the base, and a binding rod extending between these binding plates.

When the base is fixed to the spine, a plurality of holes are formed at the coaxial line position between the base and the spine, and the base is fixed with rivets through the holes. Has been adopted.

[0004]

However, in the fixing method using the rivet, a manufacturing facility such as a dedicated rivet driving device is indispensable, and an operation for maintaining a proper fixing position is required. Is disadvantageously reduced. In the case of binders, the cover side is flammable, while the binding side is usually made of metal to maintain load-bearing performance. Is required. However, in the rivet fixing method, it is difficult to separate them, and in fact, they are discarded without being separated.

[0005] Separate disposal has recently been strongly demanded from the viewpoint of recent waste disposal problems or the protection of the natural environment. More preferred. In this regard, for example, a binding device used as a binder is almost never unusable itself, and only the front cover is generally obsolete and unusable.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention not only to make it easier to separate and discard, but also to make it easier to reuse parts that are still valuable as parts, that is, binding devices. Another object of the present invention is to provide a binding device base fixing structure that can contribute to the total amount of waste.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for attaching and detaching a binding device having a base and a binding member provided on the base to a surface to be fixed via a predetermined base fixing device. It is a base fixing structure that freely fixes,
The base fixture includes a penetrating member that penetrates the fixed surface and the base, an insertion shaft that can be inserted into and extracted from a hole formed in the penetrating member, and a hook that is provided at a position adjacent to the insertion shaft. And the base is fixed to the surface to be fixed when the insertion shaft portion is inserted into the hole of the penetrating member, and is provided on the base.

According to such a configuration, the base can be attached to and detached from the surface to be fixed by inserting and removing the insertion shaft portion into and from the hole of the penetrating member. Therefore, it is extremely easy compared with the conventional fixing method using rivets. In addition, the base and the fixed surface can be separated from each other, so that separation and disposal or reuse of the binding tool can be promoted.

Further, the present invention is a base fixing structure for detachably fixing a binding device having a base and a binding member provided on the base to a surface to be fixed via a predetermined base fixing device, The base fixture includes a penetrating member that penetrates the fixed surface and the base, and an operation plate having an insertion shaft portion that can be inserted into and removed from a hole formed in the penetrating member, wherein the insertion shaft portion is configured to penetrate the base member. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the base is fixed to the surface to be fixed when inserted into the hole of the member.

Further, the operation plate according to the present invention includes a hook portion adjacent to the insertion shaft portion, and the hook portion engages with the penetrating member in a state where the insertion shaft portion is inserted into the hole of the penetrating member. , Is adopted. Thereby, by forcibly displacing the hook portion, the engagement with the penetrating member is released, and the base can be separated from the fixed surface.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to a base fixing structure for detachably fixing a base and a binding device provided with a binding member provided on the base to a surface to be fixed via a predetermined base fixing device. The base fixture is a plate-like outer member positioned on the outer surface of the fixed surface, and a penetrating member that is continuously provided in a direction rising from the surface of the outer member and penetrates the fixed surface and the base. A member and a wedge member engageable with the penetrating member, and a fixed surface between the wedge member or the penetrating member and the outer member when the wedge member is engaged with a predetermined position of the penetrating member. And the base can be clamped.

[0012] Here, an inclined surface opposed to the penetrating member and the wedge member is formed, and the pinch force is gradually increased by inserting the wedge member in one direction that changes the relative position of these inclined surfaces. A hole that is opened in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the penetrating member, a structure in which the wedge member is inserted into the hole to clamp the fixed surface, and furthermore, the penetrating member is formed by a pair of upright pieces. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which a wedge member is inserted into a gap between these upright pieces to fix the surface to be fixed with a part of the upright pieces. By arbitrarily selecting these configurations, the engagement relationship between the penetrating member and the wedge member can be arbitrarily selected, and the degree of freedom in design according to the type or shape of the binding tool can be provided.

The wedge member is connected to the outer member at a position adjacent to the penetrating member so as to be bendable, and is provided to be engageable with the penetrating member by bending the wedge member. A configuration can also be employed.
Accordingly, the wedge member is provided integrally with the outer member, so that the wedge member is less likely to be lost in the state where the engagement is released.
