Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a filing tool. More specifically, a binding means for holding a sheet is provided by using a pocket forming member attached to the inner surface of the cover to provide a pocket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 304870
No. 1, JP-A-624971 discloses a filing tool in which a pocket is formed on the inner surface of a front cover or a back cover and documents can be stored in the pocket. . The pocket is provided on a part of the inner surface of the front cover or the back cover,
Independently of a binding means such as a clip provided on the inner surface of the spine portion or the like, a sheet or the like can be held and stored.

[0003]

Generally, in a filing tool, a binding means such as a binding ring or a clip is often provided on the inner surface of the cover member. However, in order to reliably provide these binding means, it is necessary to make a hole in the cover member and fix the clip or the like using rivets or screws. For this reason, these rivets and the like are exposed on the outer surface side of the cover, and often reduce the appearance of the filing tool. In order to solve the above problem, it is conceivable to fix the binding means to the inner surface of the spine or the like by bonding or the like.However, when a resin sheet is used for the cover, the bonding strength is low, and the cover is repeatedly bent. Therefore, there is a problem that durability is reduced.

In a notebook, a sketchbook, or the like in which a sheet is bound by a spiral binding ring or the like, the binding ring is exposed to the outside when the cover is closed. For this reason, when stored in a bag or the like, not only does it become an obstacle, but the ring often damages or entangles the inner surface of the bag or other storage items.

[0005] Furthermore, the cover of the conventional filing tool is:
In many cases, patterns and colors are added in advance. For this reason, in order to write the name or the title of the file, these are often written directly on the cover, or a sticker or the like describing the title or the like is often attached to the cover.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and secures the binding means without exposing the fixing means to the outer surface of the cover, holds the paper, etc., and reduces the filing function without lowering the filing function. An object of the present invention is to provide a filing tool that can improve appearance and has a cover that can display a desired pattern or title.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

The invention described in claim 1 of the present application is directed to a cover member made of a resin sheet having a front cover portion, a spine portion, and a back cover portion integrally provided, and the cover portion and / or the back cover portion. A pocket forming member made of a resin sheet that is attached to an inner surface of the cover portion and forms a pocket on the inner surface of the front cover portion and / or the inner surface of the back cover portion, respectively, and is bound to a side edge of the pocket forming member. The present invention relates to a filing tool in which a projecting portion is integrally extended and a binding means for holding a sheet is provided in the binding extension.

The material constituting the cover member is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a resin sheet having flexibility and shape retention. For example, it is desirable to use a sheet of polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, or the like. Also, the thickness is not limited as long as the above function can be exhibited.

The front cover, the spine, and the back cover do not need to be clearly distinguished. For example, when a cover material having high flexibility is employed, a form in which the binding means or the back of the bound paper is surrounded by an arc may be employed. In addition, we adopt hard cover material,
A fold may be formed by embossing or the like to form the front cover portion, the spine portion, and the back cover portion so as to be clearly distinguished.

Although the material of the pocket forming member is not particularly limited, it is preferable to use a material which can be easily adhered to the inner surface of the cover member. In addition, in the present invention, in order to provide a binding means at the extending portion of the pocket forming member, one having strength and shape retention according to the type of the binding means is adopted. For example, when a sheet is held by a binding ring inserted in a row of holes, a relatively flexible material can be adopted. On the other hand, when a clip that elastically clamps the paper is employed, it is desirable to select a hard material having shape retention.

The size, arrangement and the like of the pocket are not particularly limited, and any pocket may be used as long as it can form a binding extension that can hold the binding means on the inner surface of the cover member. The method of attaching the pocket forming member is not limited as long as the strength can be secured. Depending on the material, the pocket forming member can be attached by bonding or heat welding.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the cover member is formed of a transparent resin sheet, and the pocket is provided over substantially the entire front cover portion and / or the back cover portion. By employing a transparent resin sheet for the cover member, it is possible to display characters and color patterns written on the paper inserted into the pocket on the surface of the cover. Therefore, the title can be easily displayed by inserting a sheet on which the title of the file is described.

Further, since the title is not directly written on the cover, if the paper inserted in the pocket is replaced,
File tools can be easily diverted to other purposes. further,
By providing a pocket over the entire front cover portion or the back cover portion, it is possible to insert a desired pattern or photo into the pocket and to configure the cover pattern or the like.

The form of the binding extension is not particularly limited. It can be provided over the entire length of the edge of the pocket or only part of the edge. Further, the position where the binding extension is provided is not limited, and the binding extension may be provided not only on the spine side but also on the opposite side to the spine.

As the binding means, various means can be adopted as long as they can be attached to the binding extension. Further, as in the invention described in claim 3, a pocket forming member is attached to each of the front cover portion and the back cover portion, and the binding extension portion on the front cover portion side and the binding on the back cover portion side. The same or different binding means can be provided on the extension portion.

By providing the same binding means,
For example, when a loose leaf or the like is to be held, the same form of loose leaf can be divided and held in one file tool. Also, by providing different binding means, it is possible to hold sheets of different forms. For example, as in the invention described in claim 6, a row of holes is provided in one binding extension and the paper is held by inserting the binding ring, and a clip is provided in the other binding extension to remove the paper. It may be configured to be detachably held. By providing the two types of binding means, for example, a sheet having a binding hole and a sheet having no binding hole can be collectively held in one file tool.

The binding means is, as in the invention described in claim 4 of the present application, the binding means is inserted into the hole row formed in the binding extension and the hole row to hold a sheet. It can be configured with a binding ring.
The form of the binding ring is not particularly limited, and a type that holds the sheet so that it can not be detached and a type that holds the sheet so that it can be attached and detached can be adopted.

Further, as in the invention as set forth in claim 5, pocket forming members are stuck to the inner surfaces of the front cover portion and the back cover portion, respectively, and a hole row is formed in each of the binding extension portions. The binding ring may be passed through these hole rows in a bridging manner to hold the sheet. With the above configuration, the binding ring can be held by the two binding extension portions extending from both sides. In addition, the connection strength of the binding ring to the cover is significantly increased. Further, it can be used not only as a filing tool such as a notebook, but also as a sketchbook or a general bookbinding method.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the pocket forming member is formed integrally with a resin sheet forming a cover, and the pocket forming member is folded through a fold to thereby form the front cover and the back cover. It is configured to be adhered to the inner surface of the.

By forming the cover member and the pocket forming member from the same sheet, the manufacturing process can be simplified. Further, it is possible to omit a part of the bonding or welding step when forming the pocket.

In the invention described in claim 8 of the present application, a plurality of folds for bending the cover member along the back of the binding means are formed in or near the spine portion of the cover member.

In a conventional filing tool in which the cover member is formed of a resin sheet, a fold is formed only at the boundary between the front cover, the spine, and the back cover. On the other hand, according to the present invention, since various binding means are provided inside the cover, the shape of the spine at the time of holding the paper is not constant, and conventional folds cannot be used. In the present invention, a plurality of folds are provided at or near the spine portion to correspond to the binding means and the spine shape of the paper to be bound.

The method of forming the fold is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to form a narrow groove on the front side and / or the inner side by a thermal or mechanical method. The number and arrangement of the grooves can be set according to the form of the binding means. In particular, when a binding ring is employed as the binding means, it is desirable to form a large number of grooves so that the back can be bent along the cylindrical outer surface of the binding ring.
