DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a binder, and more particularly, to a binder used to hold a plurality of books such as a telephone directory and various booklets in one place, and a binder therefor. The present invention relates to a binder assembly which is a combined body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a plurality of magazines, telephone directories, and the like are bundled as one file, when a binder such as a conventional general two-hole or multi-hole file device is used, the back of the magazine or the like is used. A hole is formed in a portion close to the hole by punching or drilling, and a file ring and a holder shaft are inserted through the hole. Alternatively, a predetermined number of books are grouped together, and they are mechanically gripped from outside with a strong pressing force using a clip-shaped binder. Further, as a method of not making such a hole, the bookbinding of a plurality of magazines and the like is once solved, and a predetermined number of books are put together to newly bind the booklet as if it were a single booklet.

[0003]

However, in the method of forming a hole in a booklet, a binding hole is formed so as to penetrate a part of the paper surface of the booklet, and a plurality of books are bound at that portion. In such a case, there is a problem that pictures and characters on the paper in that portion become invisible. Also, even if the user forcibly expands such a part and sees it, part of the original picture or character is lost due to the hole drilling,
There is a problem that it is not clear what was written in that part.

In the case where a clip-shaped binder is used so as not to form a hole, only a plurality of booklets are bound by a pressing force from the outside of the booklet. There is a problem that binding is disjointed.

Moreover, even when this clip-shaped binder is used, a portion close to the spine of the booklet is gripped from outside by a metal clip or the like in order to grip the booklet. As in the case of the method of setting the booklet, there is a problem that pictures and characters on the bound portion become invisible, which impairs the practicality of the booklet.

[0006] Further, in the method of once unbinding and re-binding a new booklet as if it were a single booklet, the bookbinding is substantially redone, and the labor and process become extremely complicated. is there. In addition, when it is required to replace or discard a part of a plurality of booklets, it is necessary to perform bookbinding again, and there is a problem that the labor and process become more complicated. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a binder used for binding (or bundling) a plurality of booklets or the like with a picture or text on a booklet. By using simple methods, problems such as invisible or stuck binding can be solved, and booklets of objects to be grasped can be securely grasped without impairing the visibility of paper. It is to provide a binder which is as follows.

[0008]

In the binder according to the present invention, for example, the surface of an object to be gripped, such as a booklet or a CD case, is gripped by the concave inner surface of the grip portion, and is fixed by an adhesive member. With such a configuration, it is possible to hold a file ring, a holder shaft, and the like without drilling a hole for inserting the file ring or the holder shaft into a booklet of the object to be gripped, and to bind a plurality of objects to be gripped. It becomes possible.

Further, the grip portion is formed of a flexible or bendable plate body, and a binding margin (spelling margin) having a hole through which a file ring, a holder shaft and the like are inserted is formed. Since it is separately provided, even if the object to be gripped is bound by the binder, the movement of the front cover, the back cover and the like is not hindered. Accordingly, when the object to be grasped is, for example, a booklet, the opening and closing operation of the cover of the booklet and the like are not hindered, so that the sheet can be freely opened and closed as in the unbound state. It is possible to see the entire surface including the central part. Similarly, in the case of a CD case, the binding can be performed without obstructing the opening and closing operation.

That is, the binder according to the present invention is formed to have a concave cross section for gripping an object to be gripped, and has a bonding member provided on an inner surface of the concave shape. A grip portion made of a flexible or bendable plate body, and a binding margin portion provided with a binding hole and attached to the outside of the grip portion are provided.

Further, the binder according to the present invention comprises a single plate body in which a gripping portion for gripping an object to be gripped and a binding margin in which a binding hole is formed are continuous. The object to be grasped is stuck and held on one surface or both front and back surfaces.

The grip portion and the binding margin may be formed of a continuous and integral flexible or bendable plate. By forming a gripping portion and a binding margin by bending a single continuous plate in this way, it is possible to achieve simplification of the structure and simplification of the manufacturing method.

Further, the bonding member may be protected by a peelable protective seal without impairing practical adhesiveness when used as the bonding member. Needless to say, this protective seal may be peeled off when the binder is adhered to an object to be grasped such as a booklet.

Further, at least the plate body and the bonding member of the grip portion may be made of a transparent or translucent material. By making the binder transparent in this way, the surface and back of the object to be gripped, such as a booklet,
It is possible to avoid being hidden by this binder and becoming invisible.

Further, at least the plate body and the bonding member of the grip portion may be made of a colored transparent or translucent material. By doing so, it is possible to avoid that the surface or spine of the object to be gripped such as a booklet is hidden by this binder and becomes invisible, and the booklet or the like gripped by the binder by the tint of the coloring of each binder. Can be easily determined. Further, the degree of freedom in color design can be increased.

The binding margin 2 is a plate-like member provided outside the gripping section 1. The binding margin 2 is used to bundle a plurality of binders in one place or to hang them on a dedicated hook by inserting a file ring 20 or the like. A binding hole 7 having a predetermined size is formed at a predetermined pitch so as to form a binding hole. This binding margin 2
By using the same length as the length of the gripping portion 1 and made of the same material as the gripping portion 1, the binding margin 2 and the gripping portion 1 can be integrally formed. Things.

The binding margin 2 may be provided substantially at the center of the back surface of the grip 1 as shown in FIG. 4A, or as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C. It may be provided on the back side of the grip portion 1 so as to protrude in a flange shape.

Next, an operation of gripping the booklet 10 with the binder will be described with reference to FIG. 3, focusing on an operation procedure for gripping the booklet 10 in the concave portion of the binder and fixing the booklet 10 with the double-sided adhesive tape 3. . It is confirmed whether or not the thickness of the booklet 10 to be gripped is within a range suitable for the size of the concave portion of the binder. If the size does not match, a larger or smaller size binder may be prepared. First, FIG.
As shown in (A), the surface of the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is covered with the protective tape 4 while the binder is not used, and the protective tape 4 is peeled off.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, one of the two end pieces 5a and 5b of the gripper 1 is inserted into the booklet 1
The lower surface of FIG. 0 is adhered so as to be pressed against a portion close to the back 11 of the lower surface. Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (C), the substantially center position inside the concave shape of the gripper 1 is

Nothing. Therefore, the user can firstly look at the entire surface of the cover 12 or the back 11 of the booklet 10 and clearly check whether or not the booklet 10 is the booklet he / she wants to view. Further, when the user opens and browses the inside of the booklet 10, since the material of the binder is flexible, FIG.
It is possible to make the page easy to open and turn as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, the plurality of booklets 10 gripped by the binder are inserted into the holes 7 of the binding margin 2 with the file ring 20 and the binding string 27 and the like. It becomes possible to file and combine them together. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, the binder holds the telephone directory 22 or the like, and
May be hooked on the L-shaped hooks 24a, 24b of the telephone directory holder 23. In the present invention, a combination of a plurality of binders as shown in FIG. 7 is called a binder assembly. Such a binder assembly in which a plurality of binders are loosely connected with a string or a ring is suitable for a color sample or the like.

The object (object to be gripped) that can be gripped by the binder is not limited to booklets. In addition, for example, as shown in FIG.
(Compact disk) case 31 and MD (magnetic disk) case 32 are also applicable.

Next, an outline of a method of manufacturing the binder will be described with reference to FIG. The vertical dimension (L) is substantially equal to the vertical dimension of the object to be gripped such as the booklet 10, and the horizontal dimension (W) is twice as large as the width (w) attached to the front or back surface of the object to be gripped. A plate-shaped flexible material 100 having a size obtained by adding twice the width (d) of 2 is prepared (FIG. 10A). Then, first, it is folded into two at the center position, that is, at a position of 横 of the lateral dimension (W) (FIG. 10B). At this time, to prevent the material plate from cracking or cracking at the bending position,
When the material of the material plate is thermoplastic, it is desirable to bend while heating appropriately. Subsequently, a position separated from the bent position by both the left and right by the width (d) is bent in a direction opposite to the bending of the central portion. Then, a hole 7 is formed in the binding margin 2. Thus, the binding margin 2 and the gripper 1 are formed (FIG. 10C).

Further, when the gripping portion 1 is formed in a concave shape in advance, the width of the gripping object such as the booklet 10 is half (t / 2) the thickness t of the object to be gripped and the center position is set at the center position. 10 is bent in the same direction as the bending of FIG.
A binder having a shape as shown in (D) can be completed. Note that, in the above description, the case where the cross section of the grip portion is set in a U-shape has been described. However, in the case where a thin booklet is bound, for example, as shown in FIG. The binding margin 2 'and the binding margin 2' may be formed from a single continuous plate, and the booklet 10 may be stuck and held on one or both sides of the grip 1 '.

The color of the binder may be colored in various clear colors such as red, smoke gray, and amber, or may be transparent. Further, the shape of the end side is not necessarily limited to only linear cutting, but may be a decorative pattern such as a wavy shape. Needless to say, such a design of the color and the outer shape may be variously changed in response to a request as a product of the binder.
