Therefore, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is possible to make it difficult for a reader who does not have such an operation tool to remove papers.

  Further, the file as described above includes a manual operation unit, and is configured to be able to shift from a binding state to an open state in which papers can be inserted and removed using an operation force applied to the manual operation unit. It can be easily realized by a binding tool characterized in that a plurality of steps are required to move the binding tool from a binding state to an open state in which sheets can be inserted and removed. With such a binding tool, the papers can be removed only after a plurality of operations are performed. Therefore, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, the papers are removed by the viewer. Can hardly occur.

  In addition to the manual operation unit, if it has a sub-operation unit that accepts operations for enabling manual operation of the manual operation unit, the manual operation unit can be manually operated only after an operation on the sub-operation unit. Therefore, the above-described file can be suitably realized.

  On the other hand, the file as described above includes a manual operation unit, and is configured to be able to shift from a binding state to an open state in which papers can be inserted and removed using an operation force applied to the manual operation unit. The operation of the manual operation unit or the operation component that is activated when the manual operation unit is operated is restricted, and the state where the operation of the operation component is restricted is released, and the manual operation unit or the operation component It can also be easily realized by a binding tool characterized in that it includes a mounting portion for mounting an operation limiting member having a sub-operation portion that receives an operation that enables operation. In the case of such a binding tool, by attaching the operation limiting member via the mounting portion, prior to an operation when the binding tool is shifted from a binding state to an open state in which sheets can be inserted and removed. It is possible to require an operation on the sub-operation unit, i.e., it is possible to remove papers only after adding a plurality of operations. Defects that are removed can be made difficult to occur.

  The effect described in the previous stage is provided with a manual operation unit, and is configured to be able to shift from a binding state to an open state in which paper can be inserted and removed using an operation force applied to the manual operation unit. The operation part of the operating part, which is a part that is activated when the manual operation part is operated, or the state of restricting the operation of the operating part is released and the manual operation part or the operating part is This can be similarly realized by a binding tool including an operation limiting member having a sub operation unit that receives an operation that enables the operation.

  And as a baffle member that can suitably realize the file and binding tool described above, a manual operation unit is provided, and papers can be inserted / removed from the binding state using the operation force applied to the manual operation unit A base which is used by being attached to a binding tool configured to be able to shift to an open state, and which has an opening at a portion corresponding to a manual operation unit, which is attached to a constituent member of the binding tool, and the base The cover is movably supported between a concealing position for covering the opening of the base and concealing the manual operation part and an open position for opening the manual operation part so that the manual operation part can be manually operated, and the concealment position and the opening position. And a concealing unit provided with a sub-operation unit that receives an operation force to be moved between.

  If the file, the binding tool, or the baffle member according to the present invention is employed, a plurality of steps of operation or operation tools are required to move the binding tool from the binding state to the open state in which the paper can be inserted and removed. Therefore, compared with a general configuration in which the binding tool can be shifted from a binding state to an open state by an operation of simply pressing the manual operation unit with fingers or an operation of simply pulling up with fingers, an unspecified number of outsiders When browsing, it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove the paper.

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

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the file F <b> 1 according to this embodiment includes a file main body 1 and a binding tool 2 provided on the file main body 1, and a manual operation unit 412 provided on the binding tool 2. The binding tool 2 is configured so as to be able to shift from a binding state to an open state in which papers can be inserted / removed using an operation force applied to. In the present embodiment, the binding tool 2 is detachably attached to the file body 1 via the binding tool locking portion 3 including the outer locking member 31 and the inner locking member 32.

  The file main body 1 includes a spine cover 11, and a front cover 12 and a back cover 13 provided continuously on both side edges of the spine cover 11, and each of the parts 11, 12, and 13 has appropriate rigidity. It is formed of a piece of cardboard. Here, “appropriate rigidity” means rigidity that the spine cover 11 can withstand the fixation of the binding tool 2 and that each part 11, 12, 13 is not easily bent. An outer locking member 31 is attached to the spine cover 11 using an attachment hole 11a penetrating in the thickness direction.

  The binding tool 2 includes a base portion 4 and a pair of binding portions 5 a and 5 b that are detachably attached in a state of being opposed to both side edges of the base portion 4.

  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 internal elastic member (not shown) to detachably engage and hold the binding portions 5a and 5b, and the engagement 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 state is provided. Further, a communication hole 42a communicating with the mounting hole 11a is formed in the thin portion 42 at a position overlapping with the mounting hole 11a.

  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 portions 5a and 5b are plated, and a pair of holding holes 55 for holding the binding portions 5a and 5b at the time of plating are formed in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the facing surface portions 51. is doing. In the present embodiment, each holding hole 55 is a round hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the opposed surface portion 51 of the binding portions 5a and 5b.

  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 512 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.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the baffle member 6 is attached to the binding tool 2, and the manual operation is performed instead of the manual operation instead of the operation when the binding tool 2 is shifted from the binding state to the open state in which the sheets can be inserted and removed. An operation tool for operating the operation unit is required.

  The baffle member 6 is made of a synthetic resin material, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (the figure is an overall perspective view showing the baffle member 6 from different angles), and is attached to the binding portions 5a and 5b of the binding tool 2. A base 61 having a substantially rectangular thin plate shape having an outer dimension slightly larger than the outer dimension of the facing surface portion 51 of the binding portions 5a and 5b, and a protruding portion from the inner side surface portion of the base 61 and the binding portion 5a. And an engaging protrusion 62 that can be engaged with the holding hole 55 formed in the opposing surface portion 51 of 5b. In the present embodiment, the base 61 and the engaging protrusion 62 are integrally formed. The engaging protrusion 62 has a base portion 62a whose base end is connected to the base 61, and a stopper portion 62b provided on the distal end side of the base portion 62a, and is formed along the protruding direction. The stopper portion 62b can be elastically deformed by the plurality of slits. Further, in the present embodiment, the base 61 of the baffle member 6 is formed with an insertion port 64 that communicates with the manual operation unit 412 in a state where the baffle member 6 is attached to the binding tool 2. The insertion port 64 has a shape into which an operation tool having at least a tip or a bar-like shape can be inserted.

  Next, a method and operation for mounting such a baffle member 6 on the binding tool 2 will be described.

  In order to attach the baffle member 6 to the binding tool 2, the baffle member 6 is positioned on the outer surface side of the facing surface portion 51 of the binding portions 5a and 5b, and the engagement protrusions of the baffle member 6 in the holding holes 55 of the binding portions 5a and 5b. This is done by inserting the part 62. In the present embodiment, the diameter of the holding hole 55 is set to be larger than the diameter of the base portion 62 a of the engagement protrusion 62 and smaller than the maximum diameter of the stopper 62 b, and is formed in the engagement protrusion 62. The stopper 62b is inserted into the holding hole 55 while being elastically deformed by the slit, and when it passes through the holding hole 55, the stopper 62b is elastically restored and engaged with the holding hole 55. At this time, the holding holes 55 formed in the binding portions 5 a and 5 b function as “mounting portions” for mounting the baffle members 6. Through the above procedure, the baffle member 6 is mounted on the outer surface side of the facing surface portion 51 of the binding portions 5a and 5b so that it cannot be removed, and in this mounting state, the manual operation portion 412 provided on the base portion 4 of the binding tool 2 is removed. The side surface side is covered with the baffle member 6. That is, a portion of the base 61 of the baffle member 6 that can be superposed on the manual operation portion 412 (a portion indicated by a pattern in FIG. 4) is the “hiding portion 63” of the present invention that hides the manual operation portion 412.

The insertion port 64 is provided in the concealing portion 63, and the insertion port 64 communicates with the manual operation unit 412 in a state where the baffle member 6 is attached to the binding tool 2 as described above.

  Thus, when the baffle member 6 is mounted on the binding tool 2, the distal end portion of the operation tool is brought into contact with the manual operation portion 412 by inserting the distal end portion of the operation tool into the insertion port 64, and further inserted. By continuing the operation, the same operation force as that in the case of manual operation (operation force for pushing 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 to the manual operation unit 412. Can do. As a result, the binding tool 2 in the binding state can be shifted to the open state, and paper can be inserted and removed. That is, the insertion port 64 functions as an operation tool receiving means in the claims.

  Thus, in the file F1 according to the present embodiment, the baffle member 6 having the insertion port 64 as the operation tool receiving means as described above is attached to the binding tool 2, so that the baffle member 6 is attached. Then, the manual operation unit 412 can be operated only after an operating tool having a rod-like or pointed tip at the insertion port 64, specifically, a wire or the like is inserted into the insertion port 64. Therefore, by configuring the file F1 in this way, compared with a general configuration in which the binding tool can be shifted from the binding state to the open state by simply pressing the manual operation unit with fingers. When browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders who do not have the operation tool, it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove papers.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The upper wall B31g of the cover B31 is an elongated shape having a curved shape with a maximum height at the center, and both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the upper wall B31g are formed in a semicircular arc shape, and a mounting surface portion B31a described later is formed. The shape is cut out. Then, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 form a pair of stepped attachment surface portions B31a and B31a attached in contact with the spine 11, and the in-planes of the attachment surface portions B31a and B31a One rivet hole B31b, B31b is formed in the substantially central portion. Further, a pair of projecting pieces B31c and B31c which are bent inward in the longitudinal direction are continuously formed on both side ends of the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 with a fold line (not shown) as a boundary. These projecting pieces B31c and B31c are bent substantially horizontally toward the inside. Further, a pair of first slot holes B31d, B31d for allowing the first binding members B4, B4 to pass therethrough are formed at one end of the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 at a predetermined distance, and A pair of second slot holes B31e and B31e for allowing the second binding members B5 and B5 to pass therethrough are formed in one side end portion in association with the first slot holes B31d and B31d. The first slot holes B31d and B31d are formed as elongated holes from the vicinity of the center portion of the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 to the side end portions. One of the second slot holes B31e and B31e is a first hole. Like the slot holes B31d and B31d, the cover B31 is formed by passing through a projecting piece B31c formed continuously from the vicinity of the center portion of the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 to the side end portion, and this second slot hole B31e. , B31e side ends are open. Thereby, the rotation angle of 1st binding member B4, B4 and 2nd binding member B5, B5 can be ensured large.

  Next, the connecting member B30 is constituted by a first connecting plate B32 and a second connecting plate B33. The first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 support the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5, have a rectangular elongated shape, and are formed from the cover B31. Is also formed of a thick metal plate. The first connecting plate B32 having a rectangular elongated shape is stepped so as to be positioned slightly above the upper surface B32b of the first connecting plate B32 at the upper end and the lower end of the inner edge B32a in the longitudinal direction, Small protrusions B32c and B32c that slightly protrude from the inner edge B32a are formed. Further, the first binding members B4 and B4 supported by the first connection plate B32 are arranged outside the small protrusions B32c and B32c at the substantially central portion on the short side of the first connection plate B32. , B4 is fixed by penetrating from the lower surface B32d side of the first connecting plate B32. On the other hand, the second connecting plate B33 is outside the portion corresponding to the small protrusions B32c and B32c formed on the first connecting plate B32 on the inner edge B33a in the longitudinal direction, similar to the first connecting plate B32. Small protrusions B33c and B33c similar to the first connecting plate B32 are formed on the side. Further, the second binding members B5 and B5 supported by the second connecting plate B33 are arranged inside the small protrusions B33c and B33c at the substantially central portion on the short side of the second connecting plate B33. , B5 is fixed by penetrating from the bottom surface B33d side of the second connecting plate B32. Furthermore, the outer edges B32e, B33e of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are formed with inclined edges B32f, B32f, B33f, B33f that gradually narrow the widths in the short dimension, The outer regions in the longitudinal direction of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are easily bent.

  Next, the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding members B5, B5 are supported by the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33, and the first binding members B4, B4 and A closed loop is formed by way of a binding member locking portion B6 detachably formed at the distal end portions B41, B41, B51, B51 of the second binding portions B5, B5, and a closed state is formed together with the base B3. In addition, an open state is formed by releasing the binding member locking portion B6. The first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 are formed by bending a wire having an elliptical cross section. The first binding members B4 and B4 are formed in a substantially semicircular arc shape when viewed from the front, while the second binding members B5 and B5 are formed in a substantially U shape when viewed from the front. Then, outward flanges B41a and B41a are formed at the front end portions B41 and B41 of the first binding members B4 and B4, and the outward direction is applied to the front end portions B51 and B51 of the second binding members B5 and B5. Inwardly hooked portions B51a and B51a that can be engaged with the hooked portions B41a and B41a are formed.

  Next, the assembly procedure of this binding tool B2 will be described. First, the outer edge B32e of the first connecting plate B32 is placed along the fold line (not shown) on the first slot hole B31d, B31d side from below the open side of the cover B31, and this first connecting plate B32 is placed. The leading ends B41 and B41 of the first binding members B4 and B4 supported by the first insertion are inserted into first slot holes B31d and B31d formed in the upper wall B31g of the cover B31. On the other hand, in the same manner as the first connection plate B32, the second connection plate B33 is arranged along the outer edge B33e of the second connection plate B33 along a fold line (not shown) on the second slot holes B31e, B31e side. The front ends B51 and B51 of the binding members B5 and B5 are inserted into the second slot holes B31e and B31e. Accordingly, the inner edge B33a of the second connecting plate B33 is brought into contact with the small protrusions B32c and B32c formed on the inner edge B32a of the first connecting plate B32. On the other hand, the inner edge B32a of the first connecting plate B32 is brought into contact with the small protrusions B33c and B33c formed on the inner edge B33a of the second connecting plate B33, and the inner edge B32a and the second second of the first connecting plate B32 are contacted. The inner edges B33a of the connecting plate B33 are configured to face each other. In this way, the engaging portion B34 is formed between the inner edges B32a and B33a of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33. In this case, the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding members B5, B5 supported by the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding member B5. The front end portions B41, B41, B51, and B51 of B5 are engaged with each other so as to form a closed loop and a closed state together with the base B3.

  The first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33, which are formed on the cover B31 and bent inward, are held on the outer edges of the protrusions B31c, B31c and the cover B31. An integral base B3 is formed together with the cover B31 by sandwiching and caulking the upper wall B31g and the projecting pieces B31c and B31c in B31f and B31f from above and below. An internal space B3S is formed between the cover B31 and the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 fixed directly thereto. And in this internal space B3S, the attitude | position which the 1st connection board B32 and the 2nd connection board B33 can take with the said engaging part B34 is controlled. That is, the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B32 and the second binding member B4 when the leading ends B41 and B41 of the first binding members B4 and B4 are engaged with the leading ends B51 and B51 of the second binding members B5 and B5 to form a closed state. The connecting plate B33 is bent so as to be slightly lowered with the engaging portion B34 as a boundary, and has a valley shape. In addition, when the engagement between the front end portions B41 and B41 of the first binding members B4 and B4 and the front end portions B51 and B51 of the second binding members B5 and B5 is released to be in the open state, the first connecting plate B32 and The second connecting plate B33 is bent upward with the engaging portion B34 as a boundary, and has a mountain-shaped posture. Such a change in posture of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 occurs with an external opening operation for the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding members B5, B5. Since the plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are directly fixed to the cover B31, the operating force is directly transmitted to the cover B31. Therefore, the upper wall B31g forming the curved shape of the cover B31 is expanded and slightly elastically deformed outward when the postures of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are changed. The acting force is accumulated in the direction in which the binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 are always opened, that is, the direction in which the closed state is released, and functions as a leaf spring.

  Further, from the closed state where the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 form a closed loop together with the base B31, the operation of releasing the closed loop and opening it is performed on the first binding members B4 and B4. An inward direction in which the first binding members B4 and B4 come together by applying an operating force to each of the tip portions B41 and B41 so as to straddle the thumb and forefinger, for example, so that both fingers approach each other. And the engagement state at the binding member locking portion B6 is released. By doing so, the acting force accumulated in the cover B31 is converted into a force that changes the posture of the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 from the valley shape to the mountain shape, and accordingly, the first binding member B4, B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 automatically rotate and go to the open state.

  On the contrary, when returning the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 from the open state to the closed state, the first binding members B4 and B4 are in positions corresponding to the acting force accumulated in the cover B31. The binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 may be rotated by picking them with a finger in a direction in which the binding members B4 and B4 approach each other. As a result, the outward hooked portions B41a and B41a formed on the first binding members B4 and B4 and the inward hooked portion B51a formed on the second binding members B5 and B5 in the binding member locking portion B6, B51a is engaged with each other while sliding, and a closed loop is formed to form a closed state. Further, the force with which the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding members B5, B5 are engaged by the binding member locking portion B6 is equal to or greater than the spring force that the upper wall B31g of the cover B31 accumulates as a leaf spring. Therefore, unless the operation force for changing the closed state from the closed state to the first binding members B4 and B4 is applied, the distal ends B41 of the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 are provided. , B41, B51, and B51 are maintained in a closed state so that an inadvertent open state is not formed. That is, the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5 have a function as a manual operation unit in the claims. The connecting member B30, that is, the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are operated when the first binding members B4 and B4 and the second binding members B5 and B5, which are manual operation units, are operated. Therefore, it has a function as an operation part in a claim.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the female screw hole B2x, which is a mounting portion for mounting the operation stop screw B7, which is an operation limiting member that restricts the operation of the connecting member B30, which is the operation component, is a component of the binding tool B2. The cover B31 is formed. The operation stop screw B7 is formed using a male screw member, and is attached to a cover B31, which is a component part of the binding tool B2, specifically, screwed into the female screw hole B2x, and the binding tool B1. The state of restricting the operation of the male screw part B71 which is a main body attached to the front end part B7x of the operation screw B7 which is a locking part provided in the male screw part B71 and the connecting member B30 is released. A screw head B72 serving as a sub-operation unit that receives an operation enabling the operation of the connecting member B30.

  Specifically, the tip B7x of the operation stop screw B7 abuts on the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 forming the connecting member B30, and these are changed from the valley folded state to the mountain folded state. Regulate operation.

  The screw head B72 is a screw head of a normal plus screw, that is, an operation of separating the tip B7x of the screw B7 from the connecting member B30 by a plus screwdriver as an operation tool, that is, the deactivation screw B7. It has a function as an operation tool receiving means for receiving a loosening operation.

  That is, in a state where the operation stop screw B7 is attached and the tip B7x is in contact with the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33, the first binding members B4, B4 and the second binding members B5, B5 are Even if the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 are brought into contact with the tip B7x of the stop screw B7, even if the operation force is applied in the direction in which they approach each other and bent inward, the mountain folding state is achieved. Therefore, the binding tool B2 cannot shift from the binding state to the open state in which the sheets can be inserted and removed. Accordingly, in order to allow the binding tool B2 to shift from the binding state to an open state in which the sheets can be inserted / removed, first, the operating screw B7 is loosened using a screwdriver as an operating tool, The distal end B7x needs to be separated from the connecting member B30, that is, the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33.

  As described above, in the file F3 according to the present embodiment, the tip B7x of the operation screw B7 is moved from the first connecting plate B32 and the second connecting plate B33 to the binding tool B2 by using a plus driver as an operating tool. Only when an operation of separating is performed, the state can be shifted to the open state. Further, in order to shift the binding tool B2 to the open state, an operation of separating the tip end portion B7x of the operation set screw B7 from the first connection plate B32 and the second connection plate B33, and the first binding members B4 and B4. Two operations are required to apply an operating force in a direction in which the two are moved closer to each other and bend inward. Therefore, even with such a configuration of the file F3, the binding tool B2 is compared with a general configuration in which the binding tool can be shifted from the binding state to the open state by simply pressing the manual operation unit with a finger. Two operations are required to shift to the open state. Further, it is difficult to loosen the stop screw B7 unless a plus screwdriver is held, that is, the screw head B72 has a function as an operation tool receiving means, so that it can be viewed by an unspecified number of outsiders. In addition, it is possible to make it difficult for a viewer who does not have a Phillips screwdriver to remove paper.

  The operation screw B7 may be a minus screw instead of a plus screw, and a male screw member having a hole as an operation tool receiving means into which a hexagon wrench as an operation tool can be inserted into a screw head B72 as an auxiliary operation portion. Of course, the stop screw B7 may be formed using

  The fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

The slider X21 is provided with an opening knob X211, a closing knob X212, and a connecting plate X213. More specifically, an opening knob X211 is provided at one end of each slider X21, and a closing knob X212 is provided at the other end, and these are connected by a connecting plate X213. . Claws (not shown) are provided at both ends of the lower end of the opening knob X211, and the claws are engaged with the base X22. Further, the closing knob X212 has a shape that holds the mating connecting plate X213 from one side, and is engaged with the outer edge using a claw (not shown). Then, the sliders X21 and X21 are adjacent to each other so that the inner edges of the connecting plate X213 are in close contact with each other, and the knobs X211, X211, X212, and X212 are engaged with the corresponding base X22 and the edge, and in the longitudinal direction. It is assembled so that it is relatively movable and cannot be separated. In addition, the base X22 is provided with a binding foot insertion hole X22a for inserting the binding foot X1 and a groove X22b for storing the binding foot X1 bent along the edge.

  And this binding tool X2 can take both sliders X21 by pulling both opening knobs X211 and X211 toward each other, and can take the opening state of FIG. By pulling X212 toward each other, the binding state shown in FIG. 16 can be taken, in which the binding foot X1 can be fixed in a folded state by both sliders X21. That is, the binding tool X2 can selectively take the open state and the binding state. Further, the both opening knobs X211, X211 function as a manual operation unit in the claims. In FIGS. 15 and 16, the binding foot X1 is indicated by an imaginary line.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 17, between the opening knob X211 of one slider X21 of the binding tool X2 in the binding state and the closing knob X212 of the other slider X21. The operation limiting member X6 is attached, and an operation tool for operating the manual operation unit is required instead of the manual operation for the operation when the binding tool X2 is shifted from the binding state to the open state. . FIG. 17 is a perspective view of a state where the operation limiting member X6 is attached to the binding tool X2.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the operation limiting member X6 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material, and has a main body X61 having a substantially rectangular thin plate shape having an outer dimension slightly larger than the width dimension of the binding tool X2, and a side edge of the main body X61. It is provided with an engaging projection portion X62 that protrudes and can be engaged with the lower surface of the binding tool. In the present embodiment, the main body X61 and the engaging protrusion X62 are integrally formed. The engaging protrusion X62 has a base part X62a having a base end connected to the base X61 and a stopper part X62b provided on the distal end side of the base part X62a. The stopper X62a is elastically deformed to stop the base part X62a. The portion X62b can be engaged with the base X22 of the binding tool. Further, in the present embodiment, an operation tool insertion port X63 that communicates with the space below the main body X61 in a state where the operation restriction member X6 is attached to the binding tool X2 is formed in the engagement protrusion X62 of the operation restriction member X6. ing. The operation tool insertion port X63 has a shape in which an operation tool having at least a tip or a bar-like shape can be inserted. 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D show a plan view, a front view, a bottom view, and a side view of the baffle member. Further, (e) in the figure shows an xx sectional view in (a) in the figure.

  Next, a method of mounting such an operation limiting member X6 on the binding tool X2 will be described.

  In order to attach the operation limiting member X6 to the binding tool X2, first, as shown in FIG. 14, the baffle member 6 is positioned above the binding tool X2, and then the engagement projection X62 is formed on the lower surface of the binding tool X2. This is done by engaging the stopper portion X62b. In the present embodiment, the width dimension of the binding tool X2 is set to be larger than the dimension between the stopper portions 62b, and the stopper portion X62b is moved downward while being elastically deformed by pressing the operation limiting member X6 from above. When the entire stopper portion X62b reaches below the lower surface of the binding tool X2, the stopper portion X62b is elastically restored and engages the lower surface of the binding tool X2. Through the above procedure, the operation limiting member X6 is mounted so that it cannot be removed between the opening knob X211 of one slider X21 and the closing knob X212 of the other slider X21 of the binding tool X2, and in this mounted state, the binding tool X2 The movement of the two opening knobs X211 and X211 in the direction of approaching each other is restricted. As described above, the operation tool insertion port X63 communicates with the space below the main body X61 in a state where the operation limiting member X6 is attached to the binding tool X2.

  Then, in a state where such an operation limiting member X6 is mounted on the binding tool X2, by inserting the distal end portion of the operating tool into the operating tool insertion port X63, the distal end portion of the operating tool becomes a space below the main body X61, that is, It is inserted between the main body X61 and the binding tool X2. Thereafter, when the operating tool is pulled upward, the operation restricting member X6 is pulled upward, and the stopper portion X62b is elastically deformed to release the engaged state with the lower surface of the binding tool X2. That is, the baffle member can be removed via the operation tool. As a result, it is possible to shift the binding tool X2 in the binding state to the open state, and it is possible to insert and remove paper. That is, the operating tool insertion port X63 functions as operating tool receiving means in the claims.

  As described above, in the file F6 according to the present embodiment, the operation limiting member X6 having the operation tool insertion port X63 as the operation tool receiving means as described above is attached to the binding tool X2. In the state of attaching the operation restricting member X6 to the operation tool insertion port X63, the operation restricting member X6 is removed only after the operation tool insertion port X63 is inserted into the operation tool insertion port X63. An operation of moving the opening knobs X211 and X211 toward each other can be performed. Therefore, by configuring the file F6 as described above, the binding tool X2 can be shifted from the binding state to the open state by simply pressing the two release knobs X211 and X211 that are manual operation units in the direction of closeness with fingers. Compared to such a general configuration, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders who do not have the operation tool as described above, it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove papers.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the operation knobs X201 and X201, which are provided with a base X202 and the operation knobs X201 and X201 attached to the base X202, are moved in the direction of approaching to be brought into an open state. The operation restricting member X60 having the same configuration as the above-described operation restricting member X6 may be attached to the binding tool X20 that can move the operation knobs X201 and X201 in a direction away from each other to be in a binding state. . That is, the operation restricting member X60 is attached between the operation knobs X201 and X201 of the binding tool X20 in the binding state so as to restrict the movement of the operation knobs X201 and X201 toward each other, and the operation restricting member X60. Is inserted into the space between the operation restricting member X60 and the binding tool X20 by inserting the tip of the operation tool into the operation tool insertion port X603 serving as the operation tool receiving means, and the operation restriction is performed via the operation tool. Only when the member X60 is pushed up, the baffle member may be removed and the operation knobs X201 and X201 may be moved toward each other so that the paper sheets can be attached and detached.

  In addition, you may provide the remnant part which shows whether the operation tool was received in the past in the operation tool insertion port X63, X603 of the action | operation limitation member X6, X60. Specifically, a mode in which a thin film portion that covers the opening is formed in the operation tool insertion ports X60 and X603, and a hole is formed at a site where the operation tool is received when the operation tool is received.

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

  For example, a baffle member C6 as described below may be used instead of the baffle members 6 and A6 according to the first and second embodiments described above. This baffle member C6 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part of the file F4 in which the baffle member C6 is attached to the binding tool 2 as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. FIGS. 9A and 9B show the concealment portion C63. Is a general perspective view showing the baffle member C6 positioned at the concealment position (C6c) or the open position (C6d) from different angles), compared with the baffle member A6 according to the second embodiment, It is the same in that the concealing part C63 operates between the concealing position (C6c) and the open position (C6d), and the base C61 and the concealing part C63 are integrally formed, and the concealing part C63 is It differs in the point of the operation mode moved between a concealment position (C6c) and an open position (C6d).

  Specifically, the baffle member C6 according to this modification has a pair of cuts C64 that are cut out only on the manual operation unit 412 side in a mounted state at a predetermined portion of the base C61 and are separated by a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the base C61. The manual operation unit 412 is concealed by a portion surrounded by the pair of cuts C64. That is, a portion of the base C61 surrounded by the pair of cuts C64 functions as the “concealing portion C63” of the present invention. A sub-operation part for performing an operation of moving the concealing part C63 between the concealing position (C6c) (see FIG. 21 (a)) and the open position (C6d) (see FIG. 21 (b)) on the baffle member C6. C65 is provided. In this modification, the sub-operation portion C65 is formed by the first groove portion C65a formed on the outer side surface portion of the base C61 and extending along the longitudinal direction, the second groove portion C65b formed on the inner side surface portion of the concealing portion C63, and the cut C64. Is configured. The first groove portions C65a are formed in pairs at positions sandwiching the concealing portion C63, and one end portion of each first groove portion C65a communicates with the cut C64. Further, the second groove C65b is formed in a virtual straight line connecting the first grooves C65a, and both ends thereof are communicated with the cut C64.

  In such a state that the baffle member C6 is attached to the binding tool 2 by inserting the engaging projection C62 into the holding hole 55 as the attachment portion of the binding portions 5a and 5b, the concealing portion C63 causes the manual operation portion 412 to be moved. The concealment position (C6c) to conceal is taken. On the other hand, in order to move the concealing part C63 from the concealing position (C6c) to an open position (C6d) where the concealing part C63c is opened manually, a tool or a dedicated operating tool having a tip or a bar-shaped tip part is moved from the first groove part C65a. It inserts into the 2nd groove part C65b formed in the inner surface part of the concealment part C63 via the notch | incision C64, and gives operation force in the direction which separates the concealment part C63 from the binding tool 3 using the said tool or a dedicated operation tool then. By doing. By this operation, the connection part between the concealing part C63 and the base C61 functions as a hinge part, the concealing part C63 rotates in the direction away from the binding tool 2 around the hinge part, and takes the open position (C6d). The manual operation unit 412 is exposed between the pair of cuts C64, and the operation force is applied to the manual operation unit 412 (operation force for pushing the manual operation unit 412 from the outer surface side of the facing surface unit 51 toward the other manual operation unit 412). , The binding tool 2 can be shifted from the binding state to the open state. When the operating force in the direction of separating the concealing portion C63 provided using the tool or the dedicated operation tool from the binding tool 2 is stopped (including the case where the tool or the dedicated operation tool is removed), the hinge portion The concealing portion C63 returns to the concealment position (C6c) due to the elastic restoring force.

  As described above, the baffle member C6 according to this modified example has a concealing position (C6c) for concealing the manual operation section 412 and an open position (C6d) for opening the manual operation section 412 in substantially the same manner as in the second embodiment. Since the base C61 is supported so that it can be operated between the base member C6 and the concealing part C63, the manufacturing process is possible. Simplification and cost reduction. Moreover, since the concealing part C63 takes the concealment position (C6c) unless an operating force is applied in a direction in which the concealing part C63 is separated from the binding tool 2 by using the tool or the dedicated operation tool, it is more excellent in maintainability. It will be a thing. In addition, in order to shift the binding tool B2 to the open state, a plurality of operations, that is, the operation on the sub-operation unit C65 and the operation on the manual operation unit 412 are necessary. From this point, it is possible to make it difficult for the viewer to remove the papers.

  The baffle member C6 shown in this modified example is formed by forming a first groove C65a that constitutes the sub operation part C65 at a position sandwiching the concealing part C63, and the tool from both directions along the longitudinal direction of the baffle member C6. Alternatively, a dedicated operation tool is configured to be insertable into the inner side surface of the concealing portion C63, but not limited to this, the first groove C65a is formed only on one side of the base C61 with the concealing portion C63 interposed therebetween. However, a tool or a dedicated operation tool may be inserted into the inner side surface of the concealing portion C63 only from one direction along the longitudinal direction of the baffle member C6. In addition, the operation unit C65 may be configured using an insertion groove (including a form formed on either the base or the concealing unit or both) into which the flathead screwdriver can be inserted, or insertion into the concealing unit C63 is possible. You may comprise only the notch | incision C64 to make it possible.

  Further, as a modification of the above-described third embodiment, an operation stop screw D7 as an operation restricting member is provided on the binding tool D2 as shown in a front view in FIG. 22 and a side view in FIG. 1 may be attached to form the file F5. That is, the binding tool D2 in this aspect constitutes an annular body for binding paper sheets, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, and a pair of ring pieces D21 and D22, and both the ring pieces D21. And a well-known configuration including an opening / closing mechanism D23 capable of opening and closing between the front end portions of D22. In the opening / closing mechanism D23, when one substrate D231 rotates around its side edge and separates from the other substrate D232, the tip portions D21a and D22a of the ring pieces D21 and D22 are opened, and one substrate D231 is opened. Is rotated in the opposite direction and overlapped with the other substrate D232, the ends D21a and D22a of the ring pieces D21 and D22 are closed. In addition, a preload is applied in a direction in which one substrate D231 and the other substrate D232 are separated from each other by an urging means (not shown) such as a spring, and an operation lever D233 serving as a manual operation unit is used to rotate the substrate D231. It is done through raising and lowering. The operation lever D233 is pivotally attached to an upright plate D234 provided upright from the other substrate D232. Then, an operation stop screw D7 using a male screw member is screwed to the upright plate D234 at a position directly above the operation lever D233 when the binding tool D2 is in the binding state, and the operation lever D233 is pulled up to be bound. A configuration may be employed in which the operation itself for shifting from the retracted state to the open state is not possible unless the operation of removing the deactivation screw D7 is performed. At this time, the male screw portion D71 of the operation stop screw D7 functions as a locking portion for restricting the operation of the operation lever D233 and the main body attached to the binding tool D2, and the screw head D72 of the operation stop screw D7 It has a function as a sub operation part which receives operation for enabling operation which pulls up lever D233.

  Even in a mode in which the operation stop screw D7 is attached to the binding tool D2, the operation to the sub-operation unit, that is, the screw, is performed prior to the operation when the binding tool D2 is shifted from the binding state to the open state in which the sheets can be inserted and removed. It is possible to require an operation of inserting a screwdriver or the like into the head D72 and removing the stop screw D7. That is, it is possible to remove sheets bound to the binding tool D2 only after performing a plurality of operations. Therefore, even in such an aspect, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is difficult to cause a problem that the viewers remove the papers.

  In addition, as another modification, the operation limiting member E6 may be configured to be attachable to the binding tool E2 as shown in the perspective views of FIGS. FIG. 24 is an exploded perspective view showing how the operation restricting member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2, and FIG. 25 is a view showing a state where the operation restricting member E6 is attached.

  The binding tool E2 in this aspect has substantially the same configuration as the binding tool D2 described above. That is, a plate-like base E20 and an annular body for binding paper sheets are configured, and the first and second ring pieces E21, E22 standing from the base E20, and both the ring pieces E21, E22. And an opening / closing mechanism E23 capable of opening and closing between the front ends of the two. Further, the base end portions of the first ring pieces E21 are connected via a connection portion E24 in this embodiment. In the following, “upward” refers to a direction perpendicular to the plate surface from the base E20 and on the side where the ring piece is provided.

  The opening / closing mechanism E23 includes a support portion E201 that rotatably supports a base end portion of the connection portion E24, an elastic receiving portion E241 disposed at a central portion in the longitudinal direction, and an elastic force acting on the elastic receiving portion E241. An elastic piece E202 and an operation lever E231 which is a manual operation portion pivotally attached to an upright plate E203 provided by cutting and raising from the center in the width direction of the base E20 are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the support portion E201 and the elastic piece E202 are cut and raised from the base E20. Further, a groove E20m is provided in a portion of the base E20 that faces the tip and side edges of the elastic piece E202. A space E20s can be formed between the base E20 and the cover body to which the base E20 is attached.

  The operation lever E231 includes a base end E2311 pivotally attached to the upright plate E203, a hanging part E2312 provided to hang from the base end E2311 toward the elastic piece E202, and a hanging part E2312. A pressing portion E2313 provided so as to protrude sideways and capable of pressing the elastic piece E202 toward the cover body side on which the binding tool E2 is provided, a rod-like portion E2314 provided extending from the tip of the hanging portion E2312, and the rod-like shape And a knob E2315 that is provided at the tip of the part E2314 and directly receives an operating force. The upright plate E203 is provided with a stopper projection E2031 that abuts on the operation lever E231 and restricts further upward movement.

  Then, when the connecting portion E24 and the first ring pieces E21, E21 rotate integrally around the support portion E201, and the elastic receiving portion E241 is separated from the elastic piece E202, both ring pieces E21, E22 are provided. The front end portions E21a, E22a of the ring pieces are opened, and the connecting portion E24 and the first ring pieces E21, E21 are rotated in the reverse direction, whereby the front end portions E21a of the ring pieces E21, E22, The space between E22a is closed. Further, the elastic piece E202 applies a preload in a direction in which the first ring pieces E21, E21 and the second ring pieces E22, E22 are separated from each other, and pushes down the operation lever E231 as a manual operation unit. Thus, the elastic receiving portion E241 is sandwiched between the pressing portion E2313 of the operating lever and the elastic piece E202, and the end portions E21a and E22a of the ring pieces E21 and E22 can be held in a closed state. I have to.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24, the operation restricting member E6 is disposed above the first element E61 and is provided with a first element E61 which is an operation restricting member main body which is mounted upright from the base E20. It has the 2nd element E62 which is a cap body.

  24 and 26, the first element E61 includes a main body E611 having a facing surface E611a facing the upright plate E203, and protrudes upward from the main body E611. The first element E61 is provided on the second element E62. A retaining claw E612 that can be engaged with an engagement hole E62x, which will be described later, and a tongue that protrudes downward from the main body E611 and is attached to the binding tool E2 in the space E20s below the base E20. Part E613. On the opposing surface E611a of the main body E611, a movement restricting portion E611x that is a locking portion that can engage with the pressing portion E2313 of the operating lever E231, an engaging portion E611y that can store the stopper protrusion E2031, and the pressing portion A lever storage groove E611z that can store the hanging portion E2312 of the lever E231 is provided. On the other hand, on the surface facing the upright plate of the main body E611, an engagement convex portion E611b that can be engaged with a notch portion E62z (described later) of the second element E62 is provided. The external shape of the main body E611 is configured to be substantially intimately contacted with the inner surface of the second element E62. 26A is a plan view, FIG. 26B is a front view, FIG. 26C is a side view, and FIG. 26D is a rear view.

  As shown in FIGS. 24 and 27, the second element E62 has a space E62s in which the first element E61 can be accommodated, and engages with a retaining claw E612 of the first element E61. The engagement hole E62x, the operation tool insertion part E62y as a sub operation part into which the operation tool can be inserted, the notch part E62z engageable with the engagement convex part E611b of the first element, and the operation lever E231 can be inserted. A lever insertion hole E62a is provided. In addition, the operation tool insertion portion E62y is formed as a thin portion in the present embodiment, and when an operation tool is received, a hole is formed at a site where the operation tool is received, indicating that the operation tool has been received in the past. I am doing so. That is, the entire operation tool insertion portion E62y functions as a remnant portion indicating whether or not the operation tool has been received in the past. In FIG. 27, (a) is a plan view, (b) is a front view, (c) is a side view, and (d) is a rear view.

  The operation restricting member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2 in the following procedure. That is, the facing surface E611a of the first element E61 is first opposed to the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2 in the binding state, and the tongue E613 is inserted between the base E20 and the elastic piece E202, The pressing portion E2313 and the movement restricting portion E611x are engaged with each other. At that time, the stopper protrusion E2031 is accommodated in the engaging portion E611y. Next, the body E611 of the first element E61 is covered with the second element E62, and the retaining claw E612 and the engagement hole E62x are elastically engaged.

  That is, when the operation restricting member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2, as shown in FIG. 28 showing a portion corresponding to the yy cross section of FIG. 26, the pressing portion E2313 of the operation lever E231 and the movement restricting portion. E611x is engaged with the concave and convex portions, and the hanging portion E2312 of the pressing lever E231 is housed in the lever housing groove E611z. Further, the base E20 of the binding tool E2 is sandwiched between the main body E611 and the tongue E613 of the first element E61. Although not shown in FIG. 28, the stopper protrusion E2031 is housed in the engaging portion E612. In FIG. 28, the tongue E613 of the first element and the binding tool E2 are indicated by imaginary lines.

  When an operation is applied to the operation lever E231 in this state, the pressing portion E2313 of the operation lever E231 contacts the movement restricting portion E611x, and the edge of the operation lever E231 contacts the edge of the lever storage groove E611z. Therefore, the movement of the operation lever E231 is restricted. Further, the stopper projection E2031 and the engaging portion E612 are engaged with each other and the base E20 is sandwiched between the main body E611 and the tongue portion E613 of the first element E61. Therefore, the upward movement of the operation restricting member E6 due to the action of the operation lever is also restricted, that is, further operation of the operation lever E231 is restricted.

  That is, in this aspect, when the operation restriction member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2, the operation lever E231 is operated to open the binding tool E2 unless the operation restriction member is removed using the operation tool. I can't. That is, the operation tool insertion portion E62y is broken by the distal end portion of the operation tool, and the distal end portion of the operation tool is brought into contact with the retaining pawl E613 so that the retaining pawl E613 and the engagement hole E62x are engaged. The operation lever E231 cannot be operated unless the second element E62 is released and the first element E61 is subsequently removed. That is, even if this mode is adopted, it is possible to remove the sheets bound to the binding tool E2 only after performing a plurality of operations. Therefore, even in such an aspect, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is difficult to cause a problem that the viewers remove the papers.

  Moreover, it replaces with the said operation | movement limitation member E6, and the aspect which attaches the operation | movement limitation member E9 as shown below to the said binding tool E2 is also considered. This aspect will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the binding tool E2 according to this aspect has the same configuration as the binding tool E2 described above, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the operation restriction member E9 covers an operation restriction member main body E91 mounted on the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2 and a part of the operation restriction member main body E91. And a cap body E92 that is attached to the operation restricting member main body E91 and prevents the operation restricting member main body E91 from coming off.

  29, FIG. 30, and FIG. 31, the operation restricting member main body E91 protrudes downward from the upright plate portion E911 having a facing surface E911a facing the upright plate E203, and the upright plate portion E911. And at least a tongue E913 disposed in the space E20s below the base E20 in a state of being attached to the binding tool E2. The projecting end can be brought into contact with the facing surface E911a of the upright plate portion E911, the movement restricting portion E911x as a locking portion capable of storing the pressing portion E2313 of the operation lever E231, and the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2. A rib E911y and an engagement recess E911z that can be engaged with an engagement claw E921 (described later) provided on the cap body E92 are provided. On the other hand, on the surface facing the upright plate E203 of the upright plate portion E911, a positioning convex portion E911b that engages with a later-described cutout portion E92z of the cap body E92 and functions as a positioning portion is provided. And the external shape of the part except the positioning convex part E911b among the said standing board part E911 is comprised so that it can closely contact with the inner surface of the said cap body E92. In FIG. 31, (a) is a plan view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a front view, (d) is a rear view, and (e) is an XX cross-sectional view.

  29, 30 and 32, the cap body E92 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member having a space E92s which opens downward and can accommodate the operation restricting member main body E91. A front frame E92a having a portion E92z, a back frame E92b forming a surface opposite to the front frame E92a, side frames E92c connecting both side edges of the front frame E92a and the back frame E92b, and the front frames E92a, The upper frame E92d which connects the upper end of the back frame E92b and the side frame E92c is comprised. The front frame E92a is provided with an engagement claw E921 that engages with an engagement recess E911z of the operation restriction member main body E91. Also, one of the side frames E92c is provided with a lever insertion portion E92x cut out so that the operation lever E231 can be inserted. The notch E92z is a positioning recess that can be engaged with the positioning protrusion E911b of the operation restricting member main body E91 described above, and the notch E92z and the positioning protrusion E911b are engaged with each other. Thus, the outer surface of the positioning projection E911b and the outer surface of the front frame E92a of the cap body E92 are flush with each other. The operation limiting member E9 covers the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2 with the cap body E92 attached to the operation limiting member E91. Although not shown, the side frame E92c of the cap body E92 may be provided with a recess at the center for easy handling. 32, (a) is a plan view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a front view, (d) is a rear view, and (e) is a YY sectional view.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in the said FIG.29, FIG.30 and FIG.31, the operation tool insertion part E911c which is a sub operation part is provided in the said engagement recessed part E911z. Specifically, the operation tool insertion portion E911c is accessed using an operation tool, and the operation tool insertion portion E911c is broken to access the engaging claw E921 and the cap body E92 is operated. The restriction member main body E91 can be removed. That is, the operation tool insertion portion E911c covers the inside of the engagement recess E911z from the outside invisible. The operation tool insertion portion E911c includes a thin portion E911d and a substantially cross-shaped slit E911e. In the thin-walled portion E911d, when an operation tool is received, a hole is formed at a site where the operation tool is received, indicating that the operation tool has been received in the past. That is, the operation tool insertion portion E911b is caused to function as a remnant portion indicating whether or not an operation tool has been received in the past. Further, the operation tool insertion portion E911c is recessed from other portions of the upright plate portion E911 so that the position to be accessed by the operation tool can be easily seen from the outside. Further, the width dimension of the slit E911e is smaller than the thickness of the tip of the minus driver when a minus driver is used as the manipulation tool in order to make the manipulation tool insertion part E911c function as a remnant part, specifically, It is set to 0.5 mm or less. In addition, although this slit E911e is formed in the substantially cross shape, you may form in another shape. For example, one or a plurality of slits extending in the width direction of the operation tool insertion portion E911c may be provided. On the other hand, the slit E911e may be omitted by reducing the thickness of the thin portion E911d.

  The operation limiting member E9 is attached to the binding tool E2 in the same procedure as the operation limiting member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2. That is, the facing surface E911a of the operation limiting member main body E91 is first opposed to the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2 in the binding state, and the tongue portion E913 is inserted between the base E20 and the elastic piece E202. The pressing portion E2313 and the movement restricting portion E911x are engaged with each other. Next, a part of the upright plate portion E911 of the operation restricting member main body E91 is covered with the cap body E92, and the engagement claw E921 and the engagement recess E911z are elastically engaged.

  That is, when the operation restricting member E9 is attached to the binding tool E2, as shown in FIG. 33, which shows a portion corresponding to the XX cross section of FIG. 31, the pressing portion E2313 of the operation lever E231 and the movement restricting portion E911x and the concave-convex engagement. Further, the base E20 of the binding tool E2 is sandwiched between the upright plate portion E911 and the tongue portion E913 of the operation limiting member main body E91. In FIG. 33, the tongue E913 of the operation limiting member main body E91 and the binding tool E2 are indicated by imaginary lines.

  When an operation is applied to the operating lever E231 in this state, the pressing portion E2313 of the operating lever E231 comes into contact with the opening edge of the movement restricting portion E911x, so that the movement of the operating lever E231 is restricted. Further, since the base E20 of the binding tool E2 is sandwiched between the upright plate portion E911 and the tongue portion E913 of the operation restricting member main body E91, the operation restricting member E9 caused by receiving the action from the operation lever E231. Therefore, further operation of the operation lever E231 is also restricted.

  In this aspect, similarly to the aspect in which the operation restriction member E6 is attached to the binding tool E2, the operation lever E231 is operated to remove the binding tool E2 unless the operation restriction member E9 is removed using the operation tool. It cannot be opened. That is, the thin portion E911d of the operation tool insertion portion E911c is broken by the distal end portion of the operation tool, and the distal end portion of the operation tool is brought into contact with the engagement claw E921, so that the engagement claw E921 and the engagement recess E911z The operation lever E231 can be operated unless a series of operations of releasing the engagement state, pulling out the cap body E92 and removing it from the operation restriction member main body E91, and subsequently removing the operation restriction member main body E91 from the binding tool E2. Not possible. That is, even if this mode is adopted, it is possible to remove the sheets bound to the binding tool E2 only after performing a plurality of operations. Therefore, even in such an aspect, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is difficult to cause a problem that the viewers remove the papers.

  Further, the cap body E92 is attached to the operation restricting member main body E91 in a state where at least a part of the operation restricting member main body E91 is covered, and the separation of the operation restricting member main body E91 from the binding tool is restricted. At the same time, since the cap body E92 is removed from the operation restricting member main body E91 by accessing the operation tool insertion portion E911c using the operation tool, there is a problem that papers are more reliably removed. I can prevent it.

  Further, since the thin portion E911d of the operation tool insertion portion E911c functions as a remnant portion that can leave a trace of the operation tool being inserted into the operation tool insertion portion E911c, the operation tool is inserted into the operation tool insertion portion E911c. When inserted, a trace remains in the thin portion E911d. Therefore, it can be easily confirmed whether or not an operation has already been applied to the operation tool insertion portion E911c. Further, since the thin-walled portion E911d functions as a remnant portion, the thin-walled portion E911d can be easily broken, and thus the operation tool can be easily accessed by accessing the operation tool insertion portion E911c and removing the cap body E92. Can be done.

  Further, since the operation tool insertion portion E911c has the thin portion E911d and a substantially cross-shaped slit E911e provided so as to easily break the thin portion E911d, the operation tool insertion portion E911c is operated with respect to the operation tool insertion portion E911c. Thus, it is possible to more easily perform an operation of accessing and breaking the thin-walled portion E911d and removing the cap body E92.

  In addition, since the operation tool insertion portion E911c is recessed from other parts, the user can easily recognize the place to be operated.

  The operation restricting member E9 is used by being attached to the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2, and the movement restricting portion E911x restricts the movement of the operation lever E231 pivotally attached to the upright plate. Therefore, the operation restricting member E9 directly restricts the movement of the operation lever E231, and it is possible to more reliably prevent the occurrence of a problem that the paper is removed by an external viewer.

  Further, a retaining portion is provided by engaging an engaging claw E921 provided in the cap body E92 and an engaging recess E911z provided in the operation restricting member main body E91, and the engaging recess E911z has the Since the operation tool insertion portion E911c is provided, the thin portion E911d of the operation tool insertion portion E911c can be broken by the operation tool so that the engaging claw E921 engaged with the engagement recess E911z can be directly accessed. The engagement release operation of the engagement claw E921 and the engagement recess E911z by the tool can be easily performed.

  In addition, since the positioning portion formed by engaging the positioning projection E911b provided in the operation limiting member main body E91 and the notch E92z provided in the cap body E92 is provided, the operation limiting member main body E91 and The appearance of the operation restricting member E9 can be adjusted while positioning with the cap body E92.

  And in this aspect, the upright plate E203 of the binding tool E2 is almost completely covered by the operation restricting member E9, so that the outside viewer is in the vicinity of the pivot attachment portion of the operation lever E231 with respect to the upright plate E203, That is, the base end portion E2311 and the hanging portion E2312 can be made invisible, so that the operation of the base end portion of the operation lever E231 pivotally attached to the upright plate E203 can be prevented and the appearance of the operation limiting member E9 can be adjusted. You can also.

  Furthermore, the following aspects are also conceivable as other modifications of the present invention.

  In this aspect, the operation limiting member Y6 can be attached to the binding tool Y2 of the file F7 having the cover body Y1 and the binding tool Y2.

  The binding tool Y2 is a well-known one as shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-287724, for example. That is, as shown in FIG. 34, the binding tool Y2 is detachable using a fastening piece P on the inner surface side of the back cover Y13 of the cover body Y1 having the front cover Y11, the back cover Y12, and the back cover Y13. It will be fastened.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 35 to 38, the binding tool Y2 includes a base portion Y21 and a pair of binding portions Y22 and Y22 rotatably attached to the left and right ends of the base portion Y21. To do. 35 is an overall perspective view of the binding tool Y2, FIG. 36 is an exploded perspective view of the binding tool Y2, and FIG. 37 shows a binding state in which sheets are bound into the binding tool Y2. FIG. 38 is a front view showing an open state in which paper sheets can be attached to and detached from the binding tool Y2.

  The base Y21 has substantially the same configuration as the base 4 of the binding tool 2 in the first embodiment described above.

  On the other hand, the binding portion Y22 is a pair of upright plates Y23 whose base ends are pivotally attached to the side edges of the base portion Y22 via the axis A, and is rotatable concentrically with the upright plate Y23. A pair of pressing plates Y24 that can be attached to and detached from each other, a pair of binding rods Y25 protruding from one pressing plate Y24, and a binding pipe Y26 protruding from the other pressing plate Y24. A sheet binding hole (not shown) is inserted into the pipe Y26, and the binding rod Y25 is inserted into the binding pipe Y26 in this state, whereby the sheets are bound between the pressing plates Y24.

  In the binding state where the sheets are bound in the binding tool Y2, the leading end Y23a of the upright plate Y23 and the leading end Y24a of the pressing plate Y24 are engaged with each other. Further, a notch Y24b is formed at the front end of the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the pressing plate Y24, and a portion corresponding to the notch Y24b of the upright plate Y23 is defined as a manual operation portion Y231 with respect to the manual operation portion Y231. Then, an operation of opening the binding tool Y2 from the binding state to an open state in which the sheets can be attached and detached is performed by adding an operation of pushing outward with a finger. Further, the pressing plate Y24 is provided with a stopper projection Y241 that protrudes outward, and the upright plate Y23 is provided with a stopper receiving hole Y23y that can be engaged with the stopper projection Y241 so that the sheets can be used. The stopper projection Y241 and the stopper receiving hole Y23y are engaged with each other in the state of being bound in the binding tool Y2, and the upward movement of the pressing plate Y24 is restricted. In the present embodiment, the upright plate Y23 is urged toward the binding state via the torsion coil spring SP1 as urging means, but such urging means is not necessarily provided.

  Next, an operation when opening and closing the binding tool Y2 will be described.

  When the user intends to open the binding tool Y2 in order to insert or remove a document or the like, first, the left or right arbitrary operation unit Y231 is pushed outward with a finger. Then, the engagement state between the front end portion Y24a of the presser plate Y24 and the front end portion Y23a of the upright plate Y23 is also released, and the engagement state between the stopper projection Y241 of the presser plate Y24 and the stopper receiving hole Y23y of the upright plate Y23 is released. It is cancelled | released and it is possible to move the holding | suppressing board Y24 upwards rather than the standing board Y23.

  Next, the presser plate Y24 released from engagement with the upright plate Y23 is lifted, the presser plate Y24 on the side released from engagement with the upright plate Y23 is pulled upward, and the binding rod Y25 is extracted from the binding pipe Y26. , Documents can be inserted and removed.

  Thus, the upright plate Y23 and the pressing plate Y24 are provided with insertion holes Y23x and Y24x that are superposed with each other, and the operation restriction member Y6 can be inserted into the insertion holes Y22x and Y23x.

  The operation limiting member Y6 is known as a resin fastener or a push rivet and includes a male member Y61 and a female member Y62. The male member Y61 is a columnar member. On the other hand, the female member Y62 includes a head Y62a that contacts the edge of the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x, a receiving hole Y62x that passes through the head Y62a and can be inserted through the male member Y61, and the insertion holes Y23x, It is elastically deformed with a larger diameter than Y24x and can pass through the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x, and when inserted through the male member Y61, it maintains a larger diameter than the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x, And a retaining portion Y62b for sandwiching the upright plate Y23 and the presser plate Y24. The operation restricting member Y6 is attached to the binding tool Y2 in the binding state as follows. That is, the retaining portion Y62b of the female member Y62 is inserted into the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x, the male member is inserted into the receiving hole Y62x of the female member Y62, and the retaining portion Y62b is inserted through the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x. By maintaining the large diameter state and sandwiching the upright plate Y23 and the pressing plate Y24 with the head Y62a, the operation limiting member Y6 is attached to the binding tool Y2 in the binding state. can do. The operation limiting member Y6 is indicated by an imaginary line in FIG.

  Then, by attaching the operation restricting member Y6 to the binding tool Y2 with the binding tool Y2 in the binding state, the upright plate Y23 and the pressing plate Y24 are sandwiched so that the binding tool Y2 is opened. The binding tool Y2 can be opened only by the following procedure using a tool in order to open the binding tool Y2 and prohibit the relative movement between the two. That is, the male member Y61 is accessed through a pointed tool, and the male member Y61 is removed from the receiving hole Y62x of the female member Y62. After that, the binding member Y2 can be opened by operating the operation portion Y231 only after the female member Y62 is removed from the insertion holes Y23x and Y24x. Here, the end of the male member Y61 functions as a sub-operation unit in the claims.

  The male member Y61 may be provided with a head having a shape corresponding to the head Y62a of the female member Y62 at one end. In this case, the operation limiting member is attached to the binding tool Y2 by moving the head of the male member to a position where it is substantially in close contact with the head of the female member Y62. In this case, the operation limiting member can be removed only by an operation of separating the head of the male member and the head Y62a of the female member Y62 by using a minus driver or the like. That is, the mutually opposing surfaces of the head of the male member and the head Y62a of the female member Y62 function as a sub-operation unit in the claims.

  Further, instead of the above-described operation limiting member Y6, an operation limiting member Y60 as described below may be used. As shown by the imaginary lines in FIGS. 35 and 37, the operation limiting member Y60 is a member having a substantially rectangular plate shape as a whole and having chamfered portions formed at two corners on the diagonal line. A main body Y601 and a shaft member Y602 that pivotally attaches the main body Y601 to the substrate Y21 of the binding tool Y2 are provided. In addition, upon receiving an operation on the shaft member Y602, an operation restriction position that abuts the lower end portion of the pressing plate Y24 and prohibits the movement of the pressing plate Y24 to the open state side, and a lower end portion of the pressing plate Y24, It is possible to move between the operation permission positions that are separated and permit the movement of the pressing plate Y24 to the open state side. Therefore, the operation to the shaft member Y602 can be performed only by using a tool, in this embodiment, a minus driver. Specifically, a driver hole Y602x as a sub-operating portion having a shape corresponding to the tip of the minus driver is provided at the base end of the shaft member Y602, and the tip of the minus driver is inserted into the driver hole Y602x. Thus, the operation restricting member Y60 can be moved from the operation restricting position to the operation permitting position only by applying a rotation operation in the direction of the arrow x in FIG. Of course, instead of the driver hole Y602x, a driver hole having a shape corresponding to the tip of the plus driver or a wrench hole having a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of a hexagon wrench having a predetermined dimension may be provided.

  Therefore, even in the modification described above, it is possible to remove the sheets bound to the binding tool Y2 only after performing a plurality of operations. Therefore, even in such an aspect, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is difficult to cause a problem that the viewers remove the papers.

  In the above modification, both the left and right pressing plates Y24 are detachable from the base Y21. However, the binding tool in which only one pressing plate Y24 is detachable from the base Y21 is described above. Of course, such operation limiting members Y6 and Y60 may be provided.

  In addition, as another modification of the present invention, the modes described below are also conceivable.

  In this aspect, as shown in FIGS. 39 to 41, the operation limiting member Z6 can be attached to the binding tool Z2.

  The binding tool Z2 according to this embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the binding tool used for the file F8 known as a so-called A4 size 30-hole file or B5 size 26-hole file. Here, FIG. 39 is an enlarged perspective view showing a main part in a state where the binding tool Z2 is in a binding state. FIG. 40 is a front view showing a state where the operation restricting member Z6 is attached to the binding tool Z2. Further, FIG. 41 is a left side view showing a state where the operation limiting member Z6 is attached to the binding tool Z2.

  The binding tool Z2 is provided on the inner surface of the file cover Z1, more precisely on the inner surface of the spine Z13. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39, a cover body Z22 attached to the spine Z13, a pair of operation plates (not shown) housed in the cover body Z22, and a base end portion fixed to each operation plate The binding tool main body Z21 provided with the binding ring portions Z23A and Z23B provided as described above, and the manual operation unit Z24 provided at the end of the binding tool main body Z21 for receiving the operation force. Further, the binding tool Z2 is configured to be able to shift from the binding state to the open state by using an operation force applied to the manual operation unit Z24. The pair of binding ring portions Z23A and Z23B each have a semicircular arc shape, and are formed so as to form a ring shape by closing. The binding tool Z2 is fixed to the spine cover Z11 through a rivet Z25.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the operation restricting member Z6 is provided extending from the main body Z61 standing outside the manual operation portion Z24 and attached to the binding tool Z2 and the lower end of the main body Z61. A locking portion Z62 disposed between the cover body Z22 and the file main body Z1 and locking the operation restricting member Z6 to the binding tool Z2, and the main body Z61 in a state of being attached to the binding tool Z2. And a regulating member Z63 that extends from the outside toward the manual operation unit Z24 and regulates the outward movement of the manual operation unit Z24. The locking portion Z62 further includes an engaging portion Z621 that engages with the rivet Z25, and a connecting portion Z622 that connects the engaging portion Z621 and the main body Z61. The regulating member Z63 is a male screw member that is screwed into a female screw hole Z61x formed in the main body Z61.

  The operation restricting member Z6 is attached by first engaging the engaging portion Z621 with the rivet Z25, and then moving the connecting portion Z622 between the cover body Z22 and the file main body Z1 while moving the main body Z61. It is moved to the position facing the manual operation part Z24 outside the manual operation part Z24, and then the restriction member Z63 is screwed into the female screw hole Z61x formed in the main body Z61. At that time, the manual operation unit Z24 is pressed until the manual operation unit Z24 cannot move inward any more. In FIG. 40, the restriction member Z63 is omitted.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the binding tool Z2 cannot be changed from the binding state to the open state unless the restriction member Z63 is removed from the main body Z61 by the operation of the tool, in the present embodiment, by the driver.

  That is, when the operation restricting member Z6 is rotated around the rivet Z25 with the restricting portion Z63 attached, an end of the restricting portion Z63 comes into contact with the manual operation portion Z24 to be inward. However, since the manual operation portion Z24 cannot move inward any more, the movement of the operation limiting member Z6 is restricted. Accordingly, unless the restricting portion Z63 is removed using a screwdriver, the operation restricting member Z6 cannot be removed by rotating the operation restricting member Z6 around the rivet Z25. It is also impossible to change from the binding state to the open state. Here, the head of the restriction part Z63 functions as a sub-operation part in the claims. The rivet Z25 functions as a mounting portion in the claims.

  Therefore, even in the modification described above, it is possible to remove sheets bound to the binding tool Z2 only after a plurality of operations are performed. Therefore, even in such an aspect, when browsing for an unspecified number of outsiders, it is difficult to cause a problem that the viewers remove the papers.

  Further, an operation limiting member Z60 as shown in FIG. 42 may be attached to the binding tool Z2.

  The operation restricting member Z60 attaches and detaches the manual operation portion Z24 to and from the base Z601, which is attached to the binding tool Z2 by using a part of the cover body Z22 so as to cover a portion other than the inner side. It is provided with an attachment body Z602 that can be attached.

  The base Z601 protrudes from the upright portion Z6011 that can accommodate the manual operation portion Z24 mainly from the outer side and the both side sides, and the lower end portion of the upright portion Z6011, while being attached to the binding tool Z2, and below the cover body Z22. A side protrusion Z6012 that can enter between the edge portion and the spine Z13 is integrally provided, and an attachment hole Z6012a for attaching the attachment body Z6012 is provided at the tip of each side protrusion Z6012. Forming.

  The attachment body Z602 abuts against an attachment body main body Z6021 that can be inserted continuously into the attachment hole Z6012a of the side protrusion Z6012, and an outer surface portion of one side protrusion Z6012 provided at one end of the attachment body main body Z6021. The contact portion Z6022 to be obtained is integrally provided.

  Then, the base Z601 is attached so as to cover the manual operation portion Z24, the side protrusion Z6012 is inserted between the lower edge of the cover body Z22 and the back cover Z13, and then the attachment body Z602 is moved to each side. The rivet Z25 is positioned at a position between the mounting body Z602 and the upright portion Z6011 of the base Z601 and in the vicinity of or in contact with the mounting body Z602 in a state where the mounting is inserted in the mounting hole Z6012a of the protrusion Z6012. It is done. As a result, when an operation force for tilting the manual operation unit Z24 is applied, the manual operation unit Z24 comes into contact with the standing portion Z6011 of the base Z601, and the attachment body Z602 comes into contact with the rivet Z25, so that the manual operation unit Z24 tilts. Prohibit operation. Thereby, the transition from the binding state of the binding tool Z3 to the open state is prohibited. That is, the standing portion Z6011 and the attachment body Z602 of the base Z601 function as a locking portion in the claims.

  On the other hand, the binding tool Z602 is removed from the base Z601 using a predetermined operation tool, for example, the tip of a minus driver, and then the base Z601 is removed from the manual operation part Z24, whereby the binding tool Z2 is shifted from the binding state to the open state. To be able to. That is, the tip of the attachment body Z602 functions as a sub operation part in the claims.

  Even if comprised in this way, since the operation | movement at the time of shifting the said binding tool Z2 from a binding state to an open state is required, when using for browsing of the unspecified many outsiders who do not have an operation tool It is possible to prevent a situation in which the paper is easily extracted by the viewer.

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