Description

  The present invention relates to a file including a binding tool that is preferably used in an office or the like and configured to be able to shift from a binding state to an open state in which paper can be inserted and removed.

  When a variety of information printed on paper is disclosed to an unspecified number of outsiders in companies, government offices, and the like, the information may be viewed in a file instead of a booklet.

As a file to be used for such a purpose, a file main body and a binding tool provided in the file main body are provided, and the binding tool inserts papers from the binding state using an operation force applied to the manual operation unit. It is conceivable to be configured so as to be able to enter a removable open state. (For example, see Patent Document 1.)
Japanese Patent No. 2616332

  By the way, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, when a viewer who is a viewer of the various types of information performs an operation on the manual operation unit, the file shifts to an open state in which sheets can be inserted and removed. That is, the viewer can easily remove the paper on which various information is printed. Thus, a file having a configuration in which a viewer can remove such paper from the file may be inconvenient in terms of confidentiality and the like.

  In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is configured to make it difficult for a viewer to remove a sheet from a file.

  That is, the file according to the present invention accepts a file main body, a binding tool provided in the file main body, and an opening operation permission element used for controlling the binding state of the binding tool and the open state in which papers can be inserted and removed. A permission element receiving portion, and an operation restriction mechanism for restricting an opening operation that is an operation when the binding tool shifts from the binding state to the opening state when the permission element receiving portion does not accept the opening operation permission element. It has.

  In such a case, only when the paper is inserted or removed, the permission element receiving part accepts the opening operation permission element, and in other cases, the permission element receiving part accepts the opening action permission element. In this state, especially when the file is used for browsing by an unspecified number of outsiders, the operation restriction mechanism is made to function because the file does not accept the opening operation permission element in the permission element receiving unit. Thus, the opening operation, which is the operation when the binding tool shifts from the binding state to the opening state, is restricted, and it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove the papers.

  One aspect in which such a file can be easily implemented is one in which the operation restriction mechanism is provided in the file body. This is because, with such a configuration, a conventional binding device can be used.

  Furthermore, as a configuration that can reduce design changes to the file body of such a file, the file body includes a cover body having a back cover, a front cover, and a back cover, and an outer member attached to the outer surface of the cover body In which the operation limiting mechanism is provided on the outer member. This is because, with such a configuration, a conventional configuration having only a back cover, a front cover, and a back cover can be adopted as the cover body.

  As an example of a configuration capable of realizing such a file operation restriction mechanism in a small space, the operation restriction mechanism is positioned at an opening permission position when the permission element receiving unit accepts an opening operation permission element. A plate-shaped base body that is positioned at the open restriction position when the receiving unit does not accept the opening action permission element, and the opening operation of the binding tool as the base body moves from the open permission position to the open restriction position. And an operation restriction unit that can change the posture between an open permission posture that permits the opening operation and an open restriction posture that restricts the opening operation of the binding tool. This is because, for example, it is possible to employ a configuration in which a plate-shaped base is brought into contact with, for example, the inner surface of the file body, and such an operation restriction mechanism is disposed between the file body and the binding tool. .

  Further, in such an operation restriction mechanism, the operation restriction unit can be easily formed by connecting the base end of the operation restriction unit to the base and supporting the distal end of the operation restriction unit on the file body. The operation limiting portion forms a plate shape that is substantially flush with the base body by utilizing a change in distance between both ends of the operation limiting portion that accompanies the movement between the opening permission position of the base and the opening limiting position. There is a configuration in which the posture can be changed between an opening permission posture and an opening restriction posture protruding toward the binding tool from the plate surface of the base.

  In addition, if the window portion is provided inside the base body and both side edges of the base body are slidably supported on the file body, and the operation restricting portion is disposed in the window portion, The entire side edge of the substrate can be supported by the file body, and the substrate can be more stably supported by the file body.

  In addition, as a preferable configuration for a file including a manual operation unit that performs the opening operation in response to an operation in which the binding tool is pressed inward, an opening restriction posture of the operation restriction unit is Examples of the posture are such that the manual operation unit comes into contact with the manual operation unit from the inside to restrict the inward movement of the manual operation unit. If this is the case, when an operation for pressing the manual operation part inward is applied, the manual operation part comes into contact with the operation restriction part in the open restriction posture, and the manual operation part moves inward. This is because the limit of the opening operation can be limited.

  Further, as the configuration capable of reducing the thickness dimension of the operation limiting mechanism having the base and the operation limiting unit as described above, the permission to accept the opening operation permission element formed using a card-shaped opening operation permission member is acceptable. The thing which comprises the element acceptance part is mentioned.

  In addition, the card-shaped opening operation permission member described above can be held in the file body with a small thickness, and the permission element receiving portion is provided in the file body, and the opening operation permission member is the permission member. Examples include a holding mechanism that holds the element receiving portion in a state of being received and a holding release mechanism that releases the state in which the opening operation permission member is received in the permission element receiving portion. If it is such, it will be sufficient if the said permission element acceptance part has a magnitude | size which can insert a card-shaped opening operation | movement permission member.

  As a configuration capable of easily realizing such a holding mechanism and a holding release mechanism, the holding mechanism can be engaged with a locking portion of the opening operation permission member provided in the file main body and received in the permission element receiving portion. An urging means for urging the release operation permission member in a direction to release the state in which the release operation permission member is received by the permission element receiving portion; And an operation unit that receives an operation for releasing the engagement with the unit.

  Further, as a configuration for realizing such a holding mechanism and a holding release mechanism with a small number of parts, the locking piece is formed in a plate shape, and one end portion and the other end portion engaged with the locking portion are provided. There are those that are provided so as to be operable around an axial center along the plate surface set therebetween, and that the other end portion is used as an operation portion of the holding release mechanism. This is because the holding mechanism and the holding release mechanism can be realized by using both ends of the locking piece.

  Then, as a configuration capable of realizing the file as described above with a small number of parts, the opening operation permission member presses the base when the one end portion of the locking piece and the locking portion are engaged. Urging to the open permission position, and when the engagement between the one end portion of the locking piece and the locking portion is released, the biasing means acts to return the operation limiting portion to the open limiting posture. In addition, there may be mentioned one in which the urging means is provided between the file body and the base. If this is the case, the opening operation permission member itself presses the base body and biases it to the open permission position, so a special member for biasing the base body to the open permission position is not required, Further, the same urging means simultaneously applies the action of urging the opening operation permission member in the direction of discharging the permission member insertion space out of the permission member insertion space and the action of returning the operation restriction portion to the opening restriction posture. It is.

  If the file according to the present invention is adopted, an opening operation permission element is accepted in the permission element receiving portion only when inserting and removing paper, and in other cases, an opening operation permission element is provided in the permission element receiving portion. By not accepting it, especially when it is used for browsing by an unspecified number of outsiders, this file is in a state where it does not accept the opening operation permission element in the permission element receiving part, so that the operation restriction mechanism is set. The opening operation, which is the operation when the binding tool shifts from the binding state to the opening state, is restricted, and it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove the paper.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The base portion 4 is made of, for example, a metal material, and is mainly provided with a thick portion 41 that exhibits the function of holding the binding portions 5a and 5b, and is disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the thick portion 41, mainly for attachment to the file body 1. And a thin portion 42 to be used. The thick portion 41 uses an inward elastic member (not shown) to detachably engage and hold the binding portions 5a and 5b, and the relationship between the holding portion 411 and the binding portions 5a and 5b. A manual operation unit 412 that can be manually operated to release the combined state is provided. The manual operation portion 412 is a metal member having elasticity as a whole, and is held by the holding portion 411 so as to be interlocked with the holding portion 411, and is elastic toward the center in the width direction of the binding tool 2. 412a is extended and provided. The elastic portion 412a biases the binding tool 2 outward. Further, a communication hole 42a communicating with the mounting hole 12a is formed in the thin portion 42 at a position overlapping with the mounting hole 12a.

  The binding portions 5 a and 5 b are provided with a pair of binding rods 52 projecting from the facing surface portion 51 of one binding portion 5 a and a binding pipe 53 protruding from the facing surface portion 51 of the other binding portion 5 b. In this case, a binding hole of a sheet (not shown) is inserted into the binding pipe 53, and a binding rod 52 is inserted into the binding pipe 53 in this state, whereby the sheet is bound between the pair of facing surface portions 51. In order to prevent the binding portions 5a and 5b from interfering with the manual operation portion 412 when engaged with the holding portion 411 of the base portion 4, the manual operation portion is provided at the center portion in the longitudinal direction of the facing surface portion 51. An opening 54 is formed to open to the 412 side.

  The binding tool 2 having such a configuration is configured such that an operation force that pushes the manual operation unit 412 from the outer surface side of the facing surface unit 51 toward the other manual operation unit 412 is applied, whereby the holding unit of the base unit 4 is provided. The engagement state between the binding portion 411 and the binding portions 5a and 5b is released, and the state can be shifted from the binding state to an open state in which sheets can be inserted and removed.

  In addition, the binding tool mounting portion (not shown) is formed on the inner locking member 32 by inserting the locking claw 152 of the outer member 15 into the mounting hole 12a of the back cover 12 and the communication hole 42a of the base portion 4. The binding tool 2 can be attached to and detached from the file body 1 by engaging with the claw hole 32a (specifically, the engaging claw that can be engaged with the locking claw 152 provided in the locking claw hole 32a). Attached.

  In this embodiment, the permission element receiving portion 7 is a slot-like gap provided so that the card key 6 can be inserted between the cover body 11 and the outer member 15. More specifically, a recess 15m having a depth dimension substantially equal to the thickness dimension of the card key 6 and a longitudinal dimension substantially equal to the thickness dimension of the card key 6 is formed on the substrate 151 of the outer member 15. When the outer member 15 is attached to the cover body 11, a slot-shaped gap formed between the recess 15 m and the cover body 11 is used as the permission element receiving portion 7.

  The operation restriction mechanism 8 is positioned at the opening permission position when the permission element receiving unit 7 receives the card key 6, and is positioned at the opening restriction position when the permission element receiving unit 7 does not receive the card key 6. The plate-like base body 81, and the opening permission posture for allowing the opening operation of the binding tool 2 and the opening operation of the binding tool are restricted as the base body 81 moves from the opening permission position to the opening restriction position. And an operation restriction unit 82 capable of changing the posture between the open restriction posture and the opening restriction posture.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the base 81 has a plate shape, and both side edges of the base 81 slide on the outer member 15 via the support body 153 provided on the file body 1, more precisely, the outer member 15. While being supported so as to be operable, first and second window portions 81x and 81y are provided therein. The first window portion 81x is formed so that the locking claw can be inserted therethrough. The operation restricting portion 82 is disposed in the second window portion 81y.

  The operation restricting portion 82 has a base end connected to the base 81 via a hinge portion 83, a first small hinge 821 near the center base end, and a second small hinge 822 near the center top end. , And a portion between the hinge portion 83 and the first small hinge 821 is located between the first plate-like portion 82a and the first small hinge 821 and the second small hinge 822. The second plate-like portion 82b, the portion on the tip side from the second small hinge 822 is the tip portion 82x, and the tip portion 82x is provided upright from the substrate portion of the outer member 15. It is supported by the file body 15 via 154. In addition, the operation limiting portion 82 uses a change in distance between both ends, that is, between the hinge portion 83 and the tip end portion 82x, associated with the movement of the base body 81 between the opening permission position and the opening limiting position. 7 (a), which has a plate shape substantially flush with the base 81, and (b) of FIG. 7 (b) protruding from the plate surface of the base 81 toward the binding tool side 2. As shown in FIG. The posture can be changed between such open restriction postures. Then, in the opening restriction posture, the operation restricting portion 82 is formed over substantially the entire width dimension of the thick portion 41 of the binding tool 2 as shown in FIG. 8 which is an xx sectional view in FIG. The first and second plate-like portions 82a and 82b are erected so as to form a mountain shape toward the binding tool 2 while being positioned below the thick portion 41, and the first small hinge 821 protrudes. The side portions of the second plate-like portions 82a and 82b are in contact with the manual operation portion 412 from the inside, and the manual operation portion 412 and the inside of the holding portion 411 that is a member interlocking with the manual operation portion 412 are provided. The movement to the direction is limited. Then, by causing the side portions of the first and second plate-like portions 82a and 82b to contact the manual operation portion 412 from the inside, the opening operation restricting portion 82 acts in the operation direction of the manual operation portion 412. The strength against is increased. The spine 12 is provided with an operation restricting portion passage hole 12b through which the operation restricting portion 82 in the opening restricting posture can pass. In FIG. 8, as indicated by the imaginary line, the operation restriction unit 82 in the open permission posture has a plate shape substantially flush with the base body 81 as described above. Therefore, the manual operation unit 412 can be moved inward without interfering with the manual operation unit 412 and when the operation limiting unit 82 is in the open permission posture.

  On the other hand, the holding mechanism 9 holds the card key 6 in a state of being received by the permission element receiving unit 7. Specifically, the holding mechanism 9 is provided in the file main body 1, more precisely, the outer member 15, and is a locking hole 6 x that is a locking portion of the card key 6 received in the permission element receiving portion 7. And a locking piece 91 that is a plate-shaped locking body that can be engaged with each other.

  The locking piece 91 is provided so as to be able to perform a seesaw operation around an axis 91C set between one end 91a and the other end 91b engaged with the locking hole 6x. More specifically, shaft members 911 and 911 are provided in the longitudinal intermediate portions of both side edges of the locking piece 91, and the one end portion sandwiches the shaft center 91 </ b> C formed between the shaft members 911 and 911. The engagement position where the 91a side protrudes into the permission element receiving part 7 and the engagement release position where the other end part protrudes into the permission element receiving part 7 on the 91b side can be changed. When the one end 91a of the locking piece 91 is engaged with the locking hole 6x, the card key 6 presses the base 81 and urges the base 81 to the open permission position. The operation restriction unit 82 is urged to the open permission posture.

  Further, the holding mechanism 9 is provided with a holding release unit 9B which is a holding release mechanism for releasing the state where the card key 6 is received by the permission element receiving unit. The holding release unit 9B biases the card key 6 in a direction to release the state in which the card key 6 is received by the permission element receiving unit 7, that is, in a direction to discharge the card key 6 out of the permission element receiving unit 7. A spring 92 as a biasing means, and a release operation portion 93 that receives an operation of releasing the engagement between the locking piece 91 and the locking hole 6x are provided.

  The spring 92 has one end connected to the file body 1, more precisely the outer member 15, and the other end connected to the base 81. The spring 92 acts to return the operation restricting portion 82 to the open restricting posture when the engagement between the one end 91a of the engaging piece 91 and the engaging hole 6x is released. Further, the spring 92 drives the base 81 by an elastic force when the engagement between the one end 91 a of the locking piece 91 and the locking hole 6 x is released, and the card key 6 is driven via the base 81. Is released from the state of being accepted by the permission element receiving part 7, that is, in the direction of discharging from the permission element receiving part 7.

  The release operation portion 93 is formed using the other end portion 91 b of the locking piece 91. Then, by applying a manual operation force to the release operation portion 93, the locking piece 91 performs a seesaw operation around the shaft center 91C so as to separate the one end portion 91a and the locking hole 6x. Yes.

  When the configuration of the file F according to the present embodiment as described above is employed, the following effects can be obtained.

  That is, the permission element receiving unit 7 that accepts the card key 6 used for controlling the binding state and the opened state of the binding tool 2, and the binding tool 2 when the permission element receiving unit 7 does not accept the card key 6. Is provided with an operation restriction mechanism 8 for restricting an opening operation, which is an operation at the time of shifting from the binding state to the opening state, so that the card key 6 is inserted into the permission element receiving portion 7 only when the paper is inserted or removed. Can be used for the opening operation, and in other cases, the permission element receiving unit 7 does not receive the card key 6 and the operation restriction mechanism 8 is operated to restrict the opening operation. . Accordingly, when the file F is not accepted by the permission element receiving unit 7 in the state in which the card key 6 is received, especially when the unspecified number of outsiders are browsing, the operation restriction mechanism 8 is made to function so that the viewer can use the papers. It is possible to make it difficult to cause the trouble of removing.

  Since the operation restricting mechanism 8 is provided in the file main body 1, the binding tool 2 adopts the conventional configuration as described above, and the file F is not accompanied by a design change of the binding tool 2. It can be easily realized.

  The file body 1 further includes a cover body 11 having a spine cover 12, a front cover 13, and a back cover 14, and an outer member 15 attached to the outer surface of the cover body 11, and the operation limiting mechanism 8 is provided on the outer member 15, the conventional structure can be employed as it is except that the cover body 11 is provided with a restricting portion passage hole for allowing the operation restricting portion 82 to pass through. Design changes to the file main body 1, particularly the cover body 11, can be reduced.

  The operation restriction mechanism 8 is positioned in the opening permission position when the permission element receiving unit 7 accepts the card key 6, and is in the opening restriction position when the permission element receiving unit 7 does not accept the card key 6. A plate-like base body 81 that is positioned, an opening permission posture that permits the opening operation of the binding tool 2 as the base body 81 moves from an opening permission position to the opening restriction position, and the opening operation of the binding tool 2 Since the movement restricting portion 82 that can change the posture between the opening restriction posture and the opening restriction posture is restricted, the base 81 having a plate shape is attached to the inner surface of the file main body 1 and bound to the file main body 1 as described above. A configuration in which the operation limiting mechanism 8 is disposed between the tool 2 and the tool 2 can be employed. Therefore, the operation limiting mechanism 8 can be realized in a small space.

  Further, the base end of the operation restricting portion 82 is connected to the base body 81 via the hinge 83, and the distal end 82a of the operation restricting portion 82 is supported by the outer member 15 of the file body 1, so that the base 81 Using the change in the distance between both ends of the operation restriction unit 82 accompanying the movement between the opening permission position and the opening restriction position, the operation restriction unit 82 forms a plate that is substantially flush with the base body 81. Since the posture can be changed between the permission posture and the opening restriction posture protruding from the plate surface of the base body 81 toward the binding tool 2, such an operation restriction portion 82 can be easily formed.

  In addition, first and second window portions 81a and 81b are provided inside the base body 81, and both side edges of the base body 82 are supported on the file body 1 so as to be slidable. Since the second window portion 81b is disposed, the entire side edge of the base body 81 can be supported by the file body 1, and the base body 81 can be supported by the file body 1 more stably.

  In addition, a manual operation unit 412 that performs the opening operation in response to an operation in which the binding tool 2 is pressed inward is provided, and the operation restriction unit 82 that is in an opening restriction posture includes the manual operation unit 412. Since the inward movement of the manual operation unit 412 is restricted by coming into contact with the manual operation unit 412 from the inside, if an operation of pressing the manual operation unit 412 inward is applied, the operation is in an open restriction posture The manual operation unit 412 comes into contact with the limiting unit 82 to limit the inward movement of the manual operation unit 412, and further progress of the opening operation can be limited.

  The file body 1 is provided with the permission element receiving portion 7, a holding mechanism for holding the card key 6, which is a card-like opening operation permission member, in a state received by the permission element receiving portion 7, and Since the holding release unit 9B that releases the state in which the card key 6 is received by the permission element receiving unit 7 is provided, by forming the permission element receiving unit 7 having a size in which the card key 6 can be inserted, The card key 6 described above can be held in the file body 1 with a small thickness.

  The holding mechanism 9 is provided with a locking piece 91 provided in the file main body 1 and engageable with a locking hole 6x of the card key 6 received in the permission element receiving portion 7, and the holding releasing mechanism 9B. In addition, a spring 92 that urges the card key 6 in a direction to eject it out of the permission element receiving portion 7 and a release operation portion that receives an operation of releasing the engagement between the locking piece 91 and the locking hole 6x. 93, the holding mechanism 9 and the holding release mechanism 9B can be realized with a simple configuration.

  Further, the locking piece 91 is formed in a plate shape, and is provided so as to be operable around an axis 91C along a plate surface set between one end and the other end engaged with the locking hole 6x. At the same time, since the other end portion is used as the release operation portion 93 of the holding release mechanism 9B, the holding mechanism 9 and the holding release mechanism 9B can be realized by using both ends of the locking piece 91. That is, the holding mechanism 9 and the holding release mechanism 9B can be realized with a small number of parts.

  And since the said card key 6 presses the said base | substrate 81 and is urged | biased to an open | release permission position when the one end part of the said locking piece 91 and the said locking hole 6x are engaged, There is no need for a special member for urging the base 81 to the open permission position, and the spring 92 is released when the engagement between the one end 91a of the locking piece 91 and the locking hole 6x is released. Since both ends of the spring 92 are connected to the file main body 1 and the base body 81 so as to apply the action to return the operation restricting portion 82 to the open restricting posture, the same spring 92 connects the card key 6 to the card key 6. It is possible to realize a configuration in which the action of urging in the direction of discharging to the outside of the permission member insertion space 7 and the action of returning the operation restriction portion 82 to the open restriction posture can be realized at the same time. Therefore, the file as described above with a small number of parts By realizing F That.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  For example, a mode in which the outer member of the file main body is omitted and an operation limiting mechanism is provided on the cover body is conceivable.

  Further, the operation restriction unit of the operation restriction mechanism may be provided over the entire width dimension. That is, the operation restricting mechanism is connected to the base that contacts the opening operation permission element, the tip that is fixed to the file body, and the base and the tip that are provided between the base and the tip through the hinge. The mode which provides the operation | movement limitation part currently provided over the whole width dimension of the sheet-like operation | movement limitation member of 1 sheet may be employ | adopted. Also in this case, when the opening operation permission element is received by the permission element receiving portion, the base is positioned at the opening permission position, and when the opening operation permission element is not received by the permission element receiving portion, the biasing means is used. The base portion is positioned at the opening restriction position, and the movement restriction portion is allowed to move from the opening permission position of the base to the opening restriction position. It is preferable that the posture can be changed between an opening restriction posture that restricts the opening operation.

  The holding mechanism is not necessarily provided. In other words, when inserting or removing a sheet from a file, the person who performs the operation holds the opening operation permission element by hand and keeps the state in which the opening operation permission element is received in the permission element receiving unit. A mode of removing the opening operation permission element from the permission element acceptance as soon as the operation of inserting and removing the paper sheets is completed may be adopted.

  In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
