Description

The present invention relates to a file, and more particularly to a file having an opening at a predetermined position on the cover so that documents, pieces of paper, etc. can be stored and carried conveniently.

Files in which documents, pieces of paper, etc. are stored include files that are equipped with a binding device for binding documents, pieces of paper, etc., and files that are not equipped with a binding device. Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and the like have been proposed as structures that allow these files to be easily carried.

The binder disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a front cover section and a back cover section on both sides of a spine section, and documents are bound between the two cover sections via a binding device fixed to the spine section. It is configured as follows. By aligning the insides of a pair of overhang pieces connected to both cover sections, a handbag-like handle is formed, making the binder easy to carry even when it becomes heavy due to binding many documents. Disclosed. Furthermore, openings of a desired size are formed in the handle so as to communicate with each other. It is also disclosed that when the binders are stored and arranged on a shelf or the like, a locking piece formed in one opening is engaged with the other opening, so that the shape of the binder as a whole can be maintained in a box shape.

Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration that can be easily carried and used as a carrier bag-type clear file, and after being used as a carrier bag, a part of the carrier bag can be cut off to be used as a normal clear file.

Frequently used documents, pieces of paper, and the like are often stored in files without being bound because it is troublesome to bind them in a binding tool. Also, do not bind documents or pieces of paper in a file if you do not want to punch holes in them, or if you do not want the documents to be folded, bent, or chipped due to contact with binding tools. It is stored in the following manner. Furthermore, depending on the material, shape, and size of documents and pieces of paper, they may be stored in a manner that is not bound in a file.
Documents, pieces of paper, etc. stored in a file in such an unbound manner may fall out of the file when the file is carried around.

Furthermore, if there are only a small number of documents, pieces of paper, etc. stored in a file in a bound manner, they may fall out of the file due to damage when the file is carried. Furthermore, when there are a large number of sheets, documents, pieces of paper, etc. tend to come off from the binding tool, and may even fall off from the file.

Patent Document 1 only discloses that even if the documents become heavy due to binding, they can be carried easily with a handbag-like handle, and the state of the documents to be stored is unclear. If documents are stored unbound, there is a risk that they may fall out of the file. In particular, the handle of the binder disclosed in Patent Document 1 consists of projecting pieces formed separately from the front cover and back cover, and the openings are formed so as to communicate with each other. , Due to the thickness of the document, it becomes easy for the document to fall out from between the front display section and the back cover section. Furthermore, it becomes difficult to communicate the opening, and the handle no longer functions as a handle. Furthermore, since the handle portion is formed separately, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

Patent Document 2 only discloses that the bag can be turned into a normal clear file after being used as a carrying bag. Since the grip is separated after being used as a carry-on bag, clear files are not easy to carry when a large number of documents are stored therein. Furthermore, since the gripping portion is formed separately, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

The openings in Patent Document 3 are also formed to communicate with each other like the openings in Patent Document 1, so if there are documents in the opening position, it cannot be used as a handbag, and If you use it forcibly, the document will be damaged.

The present invention provides a file that suppresses damage to documents and pieces of paper with a simple configuration, prevents documents from falling off, and is easy to carry, regardless of the size of the number of documents or pieces of paper or the mode of storage. The purpose is to

The configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a file 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 2A is a perspective view of the file 10 containing bound documents B1 and unbound documents B2, and FIG. 2B is a side view showing how the file 10 is being carried by user A.

The file 10 is integrally molded using an appropriate material such as a synthetic resin material, and has a front cover part 2 on one side and a back cover part on the other side, which are connected to both left and right ends of a spine part 1. It has 3. Further, the file 10 of this embodiment is a file compatible with an A4 size document, and therefore has a size compatible with an A4 size document.
A tube-type binding tool 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the spine section 1 so that documents, pieces of paper, etc. can be replaced and bound.

In one front cover part 2, an opening part 5 consisting of a through hole is formed near the center of the end on the long side opposite to the spine part 1. Further, the other back cover section 3 does not have an opening at a position facing the opening section 5 of the front cover section 2.

Therefore, when the user A holds the front cover section 2 and the back cover section 3, the user A can transfer the documents stored in the file 10 onto the inner surface of the back cover section 3 through the opening 5. It can be pressed directly (see Figure 2B).

Therefore, the opening 5 is provided at a position where the long side end of the front cover 2 is held by the user A, and is formed to be larger than at least the tip of a finger. In this embodiment, the opening 5 is shown as having a rectangular shape, but it may be elliptical, circular, polygonal, or the like.

In such a file 10, the bound documents B1 and the unbound documents B2 in the binding tool 4 are directly pressed by the fingers of the user A through the opening 5 and are pressed against the inner surface of the back cover part 3. Since it is fixed, documents, pieces of paper, etc. stored in the file can be prevented from falling off when the file is carried. In addition, since user A's fingers directly press documents and pieces of paper, it is possible to prevent documents and pieces of paper from falling off even when the number of sheets is small or large.

In addition, since the opening 5 is only provided in the front cover 2, documents, pieces of paper, etc. pressed by fingers are received by the inner surface of the back cover 3, and damage is thereby suppressed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the first joint (IP joint) of the thumb is hooked on the upper edge of the opening 5 (the edge on the side away from the spine part 1), and the tip of the thumb is When using the file 10, the user holds the file 10 so as to press a document or piece of paper against the inside surface of the back cover section 3. Therefore, the file 10 becomes easier to hold due to the grip of the thumb.

Note that the file 10 of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be freely modified within the scope of the purpose of the present invention, and the present invention encompasses all of them.

For example, in this embodiment, the spine portion 1 and the binding tool 4 are provided, but a configuration may be adopted in which these are not provided. Further, in the embodiment, the binding device 4 is not limited to the tube type, but may be a ring type, or may be a binder type of Z-shaped binding device that does not require punching holes in documents or pieces of paper.

The file 10 shown in FIG. 3A has a binder type binding tool 4 on the inner surface of the back cover part 3 and has an opening 5 in the front cover part 2. Even if there are a large number of documents, or even if documents and pieces of paper are stored in the binding device 4 without being bound, the user A can access the back cover section through the opening 5 formed in the front cover section 2. Since the inner surface of the file 10 can be pressed to hold documents, pieces of paper, etc., the file 10 can be easily carried. Further, FIG. 3B shows a file 10 in which a ring-type binding device 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the spine portion 1.

Further, in this embodiment, the opening 5 is formed only in the front cover part 2, but it may be formed in both the back cover part 3 and the front cover part 2, and when it is formed in both, By forming the openings 5 at positions that do not face each other, the openings 5 do not communicate with each other, and the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

The file 10 shown in FIG. 4 is a clear file without a spine or binding. Therefore, the front cover part 2 and the back cover part 3 are directly connected without using the spine part. Even if a large number of unbound documents B2 are stored, the user A can hold the documents, pieces of paper, etc. through the opening 5 formed in the front cover part 2. Easy to carry.

The file 10 having such a configuration can prevent documents and pieces of paper from being damaged, and prevent them from falling off the file, regardless of the size of the number of documents or pieces of paper or how they are stored, making it easy to carry. becomes easier.

[Embodiment 2]
The configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIGS. 5 and 6. 5 and 6 correspond to FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.
The file 20 has a locking piece 6 in addition to the file 10 of the first embodiment. In the file 10, this locking piece 6 is separated when forming the opening 5, but in the file 20, it is not completely separated and remains partially connected, so that it can be bent freely into the opening 5. It becomes. Further, in this embodiment, the locking piece 6 is connected to the opening 5 on the side of the opening 5 that is close to the side where the front cover part 2, the back cover part 3, and the back cover part 1 are connected via the spine part 1.

Since the user A can press the inner surface of the back cover section 3 through the opening 5 and the locking piece 6 to grasp the document, the file 20 can be easily carried. In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the first joint (IP joint) of the thumb is hooked on the upper edge of the opening 5 (the edge on the side away from the spine section 1), and the tip of the thumb is engaged. The file 10 is held so that the retaining piece 6 is pressed against the back cover part 3. Therefore, the file 10 becomes easier to hold due to the thumb catching, and since the user A's thumb does not directly touch the document at the opening 5, the locking piece 6 also serves as a protection for the document at the opening 5. It will work.
