Description

  The present invention relates to a combination of sheet file mounting index tabs and a set of index tab combinations and index tab positioning means.

  A combination of a plurality of sheet files has been proposed for sandwiching paper between the front sheet portion and the back sheet portion. Each sheet file has an index tab protruding from one of the left and right sides. The protruding portions of the index tabs of each sheet file are different in height from each other, and when the sheet files are overlapped, the index tabs of all the sheet files are formed so as to maintain the possibility of listing in the height direction. (See FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1).

  In this specification, “listability” means that a plurality of objects having a heading function are arranged in one direction (hereinafter referred to as “development”) and all objects can be viewed at once. Say.

JP-A-5-185789

  The combination of sheet files with index tabs in Patent Document 1 is very convenient for organizing documents because all indexes can be listed in the height direction (the direction along the side). However, the listability is limited to one direction along the side. If [width of index tab side direction] × [number of index tabs] exceeds the length of the side of the sheet file, all the index tabs cannot be viewed at the same time.

  The applicant has studied this problem earnestly. By adjusting the protruding position of the index tab as in the past, instead of expanding the index tab along one side of the sheet file (side with the index tab), the protruding length of each index tab can be adjusted. I came up with the idea of expanding multiple indexes in a direction perpendicular to the sides of the index tabbed file. Furthermore, it has also been found that it is preferable to expand the index tab in two directions, that is, a direction along the side and a direction orthogonal to the side.

  However, in order to expand a plurality of indexes in a direction orthogonal to the side of the file, the protruding length of the index tab must be increased. If the index tab and the sheet file are formed from one sheet, the material is wasted and the yield is deteriorated.

A first object of the present invention is to form a combination of index tabs formed separately from the main body of a sheet file so that it can be easily attached to the sheet file.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a sheet file with an index tab that does not impair the possibility of listing even if the order of the files is changed in the combination of the index tabs.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a set of index tab combinations and index tab positioning means for efficiently attaching the index tabs to a sheet file.

The first means is a combination of a plurality of index tabs for mounting on one side of a rectangular sheet file,
Each index tab 2 is formed of a main body 4 having the same width, and the front side or the back side of the base end portion 4b which is one end portion in the length direction Y orthogonal to the width direction X of the main body is transferred to the sheet file. The adhesive portion 12 is provided so as to have an adhesive strength to support the tip portion 4a formed by the main body portion excluding the base end portion 4b, and from the following requirement (a) ( d) A combination of index tabs for mounting a sheet file, characterized by comprising all of d).
(A) When the number of index tabs included in the combination of index tabs 2 is N, the length of the leading portion 4a of each index tab 2 ranges from 1 to N times a certain unit length L _U. Must be an integer multiple of.
(B) The lengths of the front portions 4a of the index tabs 2 are different from each other.
(C) With respect to the index tab 2 the length of the tip portion 4a is a unit length L _U, to the formation of the entire tip portion 4a on the display section 10A for displaying index information.
(D) the length of the tip portion is twice the unit length L _U with respect to the index tab 2 is an integer multiple of up to N times, up to a unit length L _U from a distal end of the main body 4 of the tip portion 4a The display section 10A for displaying index information is the display section 10A for the index information, and the remaining section 4a is the transparent section 10B. Formed so that it can be seen through the transparent section 10B of the index tab 2.

This means proposes a combination of index tabs 2 in which the length of the front portion 4a of the main body 4 of the index tab 2 changes as a unit (unit length L _U ) as shown in FIG. A portion of unit length from the front end side of the front portion 4a is a display section 10A for displaying index information, and the remaining portion is a transparent section 10B. As a result, first, the index tab attachment location on the sheet file is changed, and the position of the display section 10A on one index tab 2 is changed, so that the index information is displayed in two directions (width direction and Can be developed in the length direction), and the amount of information is dramatically improved as compared to existing technologies that are deployed only in one direction. In addition, since the portion other than the display section 10A in the front portion 4a of the index tab 2 is made transparent, the sheet with the index tab 2 as shown in FIG. 7A → FIG. 7B → FIG. Even if the order of the files is changed, the display section 10A of one index tab 2 can be seen through the transparent section 10B of another index tab 2.

The second means is
A combination of multiple index tabs for mounting on one side of a rectangular sheet file,
Each index tab 2 is formed of a main body 4 having the same width, and the front side or the back side of the base end portion 4b which is one end portion in the length direction Y orthogonal to the width direction X of the main body is transferred to the sheet file. The adhesive portion 12 is provided so as to have an adhesive strength to support the tip portion 4a formed by the main body portion excluding the base end portion 4b, and from the following requirement (a) ( a combination of index tabs for mounting a sheet file, characterized by comprising all of c).
(A) When the number of index tabs included in the combination of index tabs 2 is N, the length of the front portion 4a of each index tab 2 is N times a certain unit length L _U.
(B) The length of the front portion 4a of each index tab 2 is the same.
The portion from the tip of the main body 4 to the unit length L _U and the display section 10A for displaying index information of (c) the tip portion 4a, a transparent section 10B the remaining portion of the front portion 4a, the index tab 2 The display section 10A of one index tab 2 can be seen through the transparent section 10B of the other index tab 2 in a state where the combinations of the above are overlapped.

  This means is the same as the length of the tip 4a of the index tab 2 among the requirements of the first means (see FIG. 14). In this case, substantially the same operation as the first means can be realized by adjusting the position of the base end portion 4b of the index tab 2 with respect to the length direction of the sheet file 102 (vertical direction in FIG. 8). Can do. A positioning means for efficiently adjusting the position of the base end 4b will be described later. Except for the differences described above, what has been described in the first means is incorporated in this means.

The third means includes a combination of the index tab described in the first means or the second means and a sheet-like index tab positioning means for positioning each index tab of the combination on one side of the sheet file. Because
Each of the index tabs 2 has a rectangular shape,
The index tab positioning means 20 is formed of a single sheet material 22 having a width of at least N times the width D of the index tab 2, and determines the position of the index tab positioning means 20 in the width direction with respect to the sheet file. The first positioning base line 24 formed by one side in the length direction of the sheet material 22 and the width direction at an appropriate position of the sheet material for determining the position in the length direction of the index tab positioning means with respect to the sheet file And a position in the width direction and length direction of the base end portion 4b of each index tab 2 at equal intervals along the second positioning base line 26. A plurality of positioning marks 30 for determining the position are formed.

  This means proposes a combination of index tabs 2 and a set of index tab positioning means 20 (see, for example, FIG. 11 or FIG. 15) suitable for arranging the index tabs at equal intervals in the sheet file. In order to realize the positioning function using the index tab positioning means 20, first, the length direction and width direction position of the index tab positioning means itself with respect to the sheet file can be determined, and the length direction of the index tab positioning means The basic function of the length of the index tab is described in the width direction.

The fourth means is a set of the combination of the index tab described in the third means and the index tab positioning means,
The combination of the index tabs is a combination of the index tabs described in the first means, and the length of the base end portion 4b of each index tab 2 is the same as the unit length.
The sheet material 22 forming the index tab positioning means 20 is folded in two along a crease line that also serves as the second positioning base line 26, and the positioning mark 30 is attached to the base end portion 4b of each index tab 2. It was formed as a positioning hole with a fitting shape.

  This means proposes that the sheet material 22 forming the index tab positioning means 20 shown in FIG. 11 is folded in two along a crease line that also serves as the second positioning base line 26. Therefore, the index tab positioning means 20 can be positioned in the length direction by abutting one side of the sheet material 22 on the inner side of the fold (see FIG. 13B), which is easy to use.

The fifth means is
A set of index tab combinations and index tab positioning means described in the third means,
The combination of the index tabs is a combination of the index tabs described in the second means, and the length of the base end portion 4b of each index tab 2 is the same as the unit length.
Forming the second positioning base line 26 of the index tab positioning means 20 on the other side of the sheet material 22 adjacent to the first positioning base line 24;
The positioning mark 30 includes the first mark portion 30A for determining the position in the width direction of the base end portion 4b of the index tab 2 with respect to the sheet material 22, and the length of the base end portion 4b of the index tab 2 with respect to the sheet material 22. The second mark portion 30B for determining the position in the direction,
The first mark portion 30A are mutually unit length L _U arranged parallel to the second positioning baseline 26 to exist the same gap as has been the N linear portions s ₁ ~s _N (in the illustrated example N = 6) The unit length L _U is a distance from the second positioning base line 26 to the straight line portion closest to the second positioning base line 26.

  In this means, as shown in FIG. 15, the first mark portion 30 </ b> A for determining the position in the width direction of the base end portion 4 b of the index tab 2 with respect to the sheet material 22, and the sheet material 22, A second mark portion 30B for determining the position of the base end portion 4b of the index tab 2 in the length direction is provided. Since these mark portions can be printed, the index tab positioning means 20 can be easily manufactured.

  A sixth means is a combination of the index tabs described in the first means or the second means, and a positioning projection 6 is projected from the base end 4b of the main body 4 in the width direction X of the main body 4. The positioning projection 6 has substantially the same width as the width of the main body 4 in the width direction X, and the base end 4b of the main body 4 is located on the front side or the back side of the positioning projection 6. An adhesive part was formed on the same side as the side where the adhesive part 12 was provided.

  In this means, as shown in FIG. 10, a positioning projection 6 is provided in the width direction from the base end 4 b of the index tab 2. The distance in the width direction can be set by matching the front end of the positioning projection 6 with the side end of the sheet file 102.

According to the invention relating to the first means and the second means, the following effects can be obtained.
-Index information By attaching the index tab 2 to an existing sheet file, a sheet file with an index tab can be obtained, and resources are not wasted.
When the index tab of the present invention is applied to a plurality of index files, index information can be displayed in two directions, the width direction and the length direction of the index tab.
Even if the order of the sheet files is changed, the display section 10A of one sheet file can be seen through through the transparent section 10B of another sheet file.
According to the third aspect of the invention, since the index tab positioning means 20 is provided, the plurality of index tabs 2 can be developed in a uniform manner on one side of the sheet file.
According to the fourth aspect of the invention, since the sheet material 22 of the index tab positioning unit 20 is folded and applied to the sheet file, the positioning operation can be performed more accurately.
According to the fifth aspect of the invention, since the index tab positioning means 20 is formed with the positioning marks on the sheet material 22, it can be manufactured at low cost.
In the sixth means, since the positioning tab 6 corresponding to the index tab positioning means 20 is provided on the index tab 2 itself, for example, the inconvenience that the index tab positioning means is lost and cannot be attached to the sheet file can be avoided. .

  1 to 8 show a combination of sheet file mounting index tabs 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  For convenience of explanation, the sheet file 102 to which the index tab is attached will be explained before the combination of the index tab 2. The sheet file 102 is preferably composed of a rectangular front side sheet portion 102a and a back side sheet portion 102b, and a pair of adjacent sides is a closed side portion 104c, and the remaining two sides are open side portions 104o. The illustrated sheet file 102 has a vertically long shape in which the left and right sides are long sides and the top and bottom sides are short sides, and the front side sheet portion 102a and the back side sheet portion 102b have the same shape and the same dimensions. Can be changed. In the illustrated example, the front side sheet portion 102a and the back side sheet portion 102b are formed from a single sheet material, the side closed side portion 104c is formed by bending, and the lower side closed side portion 104c is appropriately joined. Are connected by various means. The sheet file 102 can be formed of a synthetic resin material, for example. When used in combination with the index tab positioning means 20 described later, the shape of the main body 4 is preferably a figure (typically rectangular) whose left and right side edges are perpendicular to the lower edge, When used in the above, it is not limited to the rectangle shown in the illustrated example, and it is sufficient that a certain protruding length can be secured.

  The combination of index tabs 2 is composed of an arbitrary number (N) of index tabs 2. Each index tab 2 is formed by a rectangular sheet-like body 4 in the present embodiment. The main body 4 has a constant width D over the entire length in the length direction (Y).

  In general, the dimension in the direction in which an object extends long is called the length of the object, but in this specification, the dimension in an arbitrarily defined direction of the entire product (index tab or sheet file) is referred to as “width”. In addition, the dimension orthogonal to the width direction is referred to as “length”, and the width direction and length direction of the whole product portion are determined according to each direction of the whole product.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the base portion 4b of the main body 4 is provided with an adhesive portion 12 to be attached to the sheet file. By the adhesive force, the tip portion 4a formed by the main body portion other than the base end portion 4b is formed in the sheet file. It forms so that it can support in the state which protruded to 102 outward. The adhesive portion 12 can be an adhesive portion that is detachable from the sheet file 102. In the illustrated example, the adhesive portion 12 provided on the back surface of the base end portion 4b can be attached to the back side sheet portion 102b of the sheet file 102, but the adhesive portion 12 provided on the surface of the base end portion 4b is provided. The sheet file 102 may be pasted on the front sheet portion 102a.

The length L _B of the width D and a proximal end 4b of the index tab 2 is determined so as to ensure the adhesion area enough to support at least a front portion 4a of the index tab 2. The length L _B of the base end portion 4b in the illustrated example is smaller than the width D of the index tab 2. When using a combination of index tab 2 of the present embodiment alone, the length L _B of the base end portion 4b of each index tabs 2 can be set arbitrarily, index below the combination of index tab 2 When used with the tab positioning means 20, it is desirable that the length L _B of the base end portion 4b of each index tab is the same. The reason will be described later. At this time, the length L _B of the base end portion 4b is set so that the tip portion 4a of the index tab 2 with the longest tip portion 4a can be supported.

  In the front portion 4a of the index tab 2, at least a part of the section in the length direction Y is used as a display section 10A for displaying index information. The display section 10A has a structure in which characters / symbols to be displayed are printed in advance or can be written by the user. The display section 10A may be a writable transparent area or a writable opaque area. For example, a writable and opaque plastic or paper label may be attached to the section of the index tab 2. In the drawing, “A-1”, “A-2”, “A-3”, “A-4”, and the like are displayed as examples of the contents written in the display section 10A. For the convenience of explanation, these displays may be used to identify the index tabs 2 that have displayed each other.

In the present embodiment, the lengths of the front portions 4a of the index tabs 2 are different from each other. In the type shown in FIG. 1A, the entire front portion 4a is used as a display section 10A for displaying index information. The types shown in FIGS. 1B to 1D have a length that is an integral multiple of the unit length. The virtual straight line P as a boundary line that shows in phantom, the unit is equally divided for every length L _U, a section which is located most outside among these compartments, and a display section 10A, the transparent section 10B remaining compartments And 1B shows a configuration in which the front portion 4a is divided into two, FIG. 1C shows a configuration in which the front portion 4a is divided into three, and FIG. 1D shows that the front portion 4a is divided into four in the second direction Y. Each configuration is shown. Note that the expression “divide the index tab equally” is used to specify the size and position of the section obtained by equally dividing the index tab with the imaginary line. Is not required to print.

  When this combination of index tabs 2 is used, a plurality of combinations may be used simultaneously. For example, by using a combination of four index tabs, the base end portions 4b of the index tabs in FIG. 1A of each set are pasted to the corresponding sides of the four sheet files while shifting their positions. At this time, it is important that the length direction Y of the index tab 2 is properly orthogonal to one side of the sheet file. Means for correctly setting the position and direction will be described later.

  When the four sheet files with index tabs obtained in this way are overlaid, the result is as shown in FIG. Further, the base end portion 4b of the index tab shown in FIGS. 1B, 1C, and 1D is pasted to the corresponding side of each of the 12 sheet files, and all the index tab sheet files are attached. When overlapped, it looks like FIG. This is the final form of the usage example of the index tab 2 of the present invention. When the index tab 2 of the present invention is used, index information can be expanded in two directions (width direction X and length direction Y). Compared with the conventional index technology that expands information only in one direction, at first glance As a result, the amount of information that can be seen increases dramatically and the listability improves.

  However, when the index information display section 10A is provided at the tip of the index tab 2 having a different length, the display section 10A of one index tab is hidden by the other index tab 2 due to the change in the stacking order of the index tabs 2. There is a possibility to hide.

  Therefore, the present applicant secures a degree of freedom in the stacking order by setting the portion other than the display section 10A in the front portion 4a of the index tab 2 as the transparent section 10B. As shown in FIG. 7A, a part of the sheet file (sheet file written with A-2 and A-4 in the display section) is pulled out from the initial overlapping state, and the stored items are put in or taken out. Then, after use, when returning to the front side of the bundle of original sheet files in an overlapped state, the order from the front of each index tab 2 is A-2 → A-4 as shown in FIG. → A-1 → A-3. At this time, the index tab 2 of A-1 is after the index tab 2 of A-2 and the index tab 2 of A-4, but the former display section 10A is transparent to the latter as shown by a dotted line in FIG. Section 10B can be seen through. Similarly, the index tab 2 of A-3 is after the index tab 2 of A-4, but the former display section 10A can be seen through the latter transparent section 10B.

  As described above, in the configuration of the present invention, since the index tab 2 is expanded in the direction orthogonal to the side of the sheet file, the list possibility is improved, and all the index tabs 2 can be obtained regardless of the order of the sheet file. Can be listed, and convenience increases.

  Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In these descriptions, the description of the same structure as that of the first embodiment is omitted.

  9 to 10 show an index tab 2 for mounting a sheet file according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the positioning projection 6 protrudes from the base end 4 b of the index tab 2. The projecting length of the positioning projection 6 is approximately the same as the width D of the index tab 2, and more specifically, it may be a size obtained by adding the gap A between the index tabs 2 to the width D of the index tab 2. An adhesive portion 12 formed on the base end portion 4 b is extended on the back surface of the positioning projection 6. The positioning projection 6 is positioned in the width direction with its tip portion aligned with a side adjacent to one side of the sheet file 102.

  In the case of a combination of four index tabs 2, two of the index tabs 2 are not provided with positioning protrusions 6, and the two index tabs 2 have a positioning protrusion of (D + A) length. The part 6 protrudes from the base end 4b to the right for one sheet and to the left from the base 4b for the other sheet. 2 × (D + A) −A is set to be equal to the length of one side of the sheet file. Although not shown, in the case of a set of six index tabs 2, in addition to the configuration of the four index sets, the remaining two index tabs 2 are for positioning with a length of (2D + 2A). The protrusion 6 protrudes from the base end 4b to the right for one sheet, and to the left from the base 4b for the other sheet. 3 × (D + A) −A is set to be equal to the length of one side of the sheet file.

  11 to 14 show a set of index tab combinations and index tab positioning means 20 as a third embodiment of the present invention. Regarding the combination of index tabs of the present embodiment, the description of the first embodiment is incorporated.

  The index tab positioning means 20 is provided with a fold line perpendicular to the first side (short side in the illustrated example) of the rectangular sheet material 22, and the first sheet portion 22 a and the second sheet are rectangular with the crease line as a boundary. The sheet is divided into two sheet portions 22b. The “rectangular shape” in the present specification means a quadrangle in which two adjacent sides are perpendicular, and includes a square. This is because it is a prerequisite for the positioning function that the two adjacent sides are perpendicular. The second side (long side in the illustrated example) of the sheet material 22 has the same length as one side which is the open side 104o of the sheet file.

  In order to determine the position of the index tab 2 with respect to the sheet file 102, it is first necessary to determine the position of the index tab positioning means 20 itself with respect to the sheet file 102. The sheet plays a role in this embodiment. These are the first side and the crease line of the material 22. That is, the first side of the sheet material 22 is a first positioning base line 24 for abutting on the inner side of the closed side portion 104c of the sheet file to determine the position in the width direction. The crease line of the sheet material 22 is a second positioning base line 26 for abutting the open side 104o of the sheet file to determine the position in the length direction.

  The same number of positioning marks 30 as the index tabs 2 are provided at equal intervals along the second positioning base line 26 on the second sheet portion 22b. Each positioning mark 30 has a portion for determining the position of the index tab 2 in the width direction (first mark portion 30A) and a portion for determining the position of the index tab 2 in the length direction (second mark portion 30B). And have. In the present embodiment, the positioning mark 30 is a positioning hole having a shape that fits the base end portion 4 b of each index tab 2. The left and right edges of the positioning hole are the first mark portion 30A, and the lower edge of the positioning hole is the second mark portion 30B.

  In the above configuration, when the index tab 2 is abutted, as shown in FIG. 12, the second sheet portion 22b is folded over the first sheet portion 22a of the index tab positioning means 20, and the second sheet portion 22b is folded into a sheet file. Next, a part of the first positioning base line 24 (a part corresponding to the side of the second sheet portion 22b) is abutted against the inside of the closed side portion 104c of the sheet file 102. As a result, the position in the width direction of the index tab positioning means 20 with respect to the sheet file 102 is determined.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the end of the back side sheet portion 102 b of the sheet file 102 is abutted against the inside of the second positioning base line 26 of the index tab positioning means 20. As a result, the position of the index tab positioning means 20 in the length direction with respect to the sheet file 102 is determined.

  Then, in a state where the second sheet portion 22b is overlapped on the front side of the back side sheet portion 102b of the sheet file 102, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 13, one of the positioning holes which are the positioning marks 30 of the second sheet portion 22b. Then, the base end portion 4b of the index tab 2 is inserted and attached to a portion of the front side sheet portion 102a exposed in the positioning hole (see FIG. 14). As a result, the index tab 2 can be pasted at predetermined positions in the width direction and the length direction of the sheet file 102.

  As shown in the drawing, the left and right edges of the base end of the index tab 2 and the left and right edges of the positioning mark 30 that is a positioning hole are vertical straight lines. The index tab 2 can be correctly oriented in a direction perpendicular to one side of the sheet file 102. The regularity of the alignment direction in the case of the alignment is an index tab in which the length of the tip portion 4a shown in FIGS. Appears prominently when pasted. Thereby, the combination of the index tabs 2 can be neatly attached to each sheet file as shown in FIG.

  This index tab positioning means 20 is applied to the transparent sheet file 102. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the sheet material 22 which is the index tab positioning means 20 is inserted between the front side sheet portion 102a and the back side sheet portion 102b of the sheet file 102, and the index tab positioning means 20 is used for the first positioning. The base line 24 is abutted against the inside of the closed side portion 104c on the right side of the sheet file 102, and the second positioning base line of the index tab positioning means 20 is aligned with one side (the upper open side portion 104o) of the sheet file, The position of the index tab positioning means 20 with respect to the sheet file 102 is determined in the width direction and the length direction.

  Next, the left and right edge portions of the index tab 2 are aligned with the two vertical lines constituting the first mark portion 30A, and the lower edge portion of the index tab 2 is N pieces constituting the second mark portion 30B. Fit to one of the horizontal lines. Thereby, the position of the index tab 2 in the width direction and the length direction with respect to the index tab positioning means 20 is determined (see FIG. 17). Thereby, the function similar to 3rd Embodiment is implement | achieved.
