DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a folder with a heading for storing and organizing documents and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a document or the like is sandwiched between front and rear plates which are continuously folded at a lower edge, and a heading portion is protruded from one upper edge of the front and rear plates. A folder with a heading made of a synthetic resin sheet that is stored in a drawer or a sorting box or the like in a large number and used for organizing documents is known.

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional folder, when storing a large number of stored folders in a sorting box, the folder often intervenes between the front and rear panels of other stored folders. , There is a risk of damaging documents etc. held in other folders,
Also, when pulling out the stored required folder from the organizing box, the folder often protrudes upward without pinching the upper edge of the front plate without the heading, because the folder is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet. If you pinch and pull out only the heading part, there is a risk that the folder will unfold and documents etc. will fall out, and when pulling out the folder, hold the top edge of the front plate together with the heading part Not only is the operation troublesome, but there is also a problem in handling, such as the possibility that the front plate of the folder adjacent to the heading portion may be grasped and pulled out together with the heading portion.

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional inconvenience, the present application discloses a folder comprising a front plate and a rear plate having a continuous lower edge, and a heading portion provided on the upper edge of one of the face plates. Is formed in a flat cylindrical shape having both side edges opened, and a horizontally elongated slit is provided at the lower part of the front surface, and the upper surface of the other face plate having no heading portion is engaged with the slit at an upper edge position facing the heading portion. It is characterized by providing an engaging piece which is insertable and is engaged with the slit in a state where the front and rear face plates are closed.
The front plate, the rear plate, the heading, and the insert are made of one synthetic resin sheet, and in the above, as the insert,
A neck portion having a width substantially equal to the length of the slit, and a locking portion extending upward from the neck portion and having a projection on each of the right and left side edges, and the engaging piece has a width shorter than the length of the slit. , And a neck in which one side edge abuts one end of the slit in a normal state,
Then, extending upward and projecting laterally from a side edge abutting on one end of the slit, a locking portion having an overall width substantially equal to the length of the slit, and an engaging piece substantially extending to the length of the slit are provided. There is a case where the right and left side edges are inclined in parallel with equal width.

[0005]

[Function] In use, however, after a document or the like is interposed between the front and rear panels, the front and rear panels are closed, and the engaging piece is engaged with the slit to lock it.
By this locking, the front and rear plates are kept closed.
Therefore, in this state, the folder is stored in the organizing box or the like, and the required folder is pulled out of the organizing box by holding the heading.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail. Reference numeral 1 denotes a transparent synthetic resin sheet which is folded in two along folding lines to form front and rear plates 1a, 1b and a rear plate 1b. At the upper edge, a flat cylindrical heading 2 which is folded in two and opened at the left and right side edges is provided integrally.

In the present embodiment, a rectangular sub-piece forming the heading 2 is integrally extended on the upper edge of the rear face plate 1b, and this sub-piece is folded in two to superimpose the front and rear faces 2a, 2b, and to form the same. The lower part of the front surface 2a is welded 3 along the upper edge of the rear plate 1a, and the tongue piece 4 whose lower edge has an arcuate shape is provided freely in the lower part. May be formed from a single plate, in which case the heading is displayed directly on the heading portion or a card displaying the heading is attached.

A slit 5 extending horizontally is provided below the front surface 2a of the heading portion 2.
A neck 6a which can be inserted into the slit 5 at a position facing the heading 2 at the upper edge of the front plate 1a having no
An engagement piece 6 extending upward and having a locking portion 6c having a projection 6b on each of the left and right side edges is protrudingly provided. In the above, when the length of the slit 5 is L, the neck The width of the locking portion 6c is approximately equal to L, and the width of the locking portion 6c is L '>L'.

In use, the front and rear panels 1
A document A is interposed between a and 1b, and a heading card B is inserted into the heading portion 2 from the side as in the conventional case. In this state, the front and rear plates 1a and 1b are closed and The insert 6 is engaged with the slit 5. That is, in a state where the front plate 1a is bent so that the engagement piece 6 is slightly inclined, one locking projection 6b is inserted into the slit 5, and then the bending state is released to release the other locking projection. 6b is inserted into the slit 5, and thus the protrusions 6 are provided at both ends of the slit 5.
e, 6c.

Therefore, in this state, a large number of folders are stored in an organizing box or the like with the heading part facing upward. In this case, even if the required part of the folder is pulled out by holding the heading part 2, There is no danger that the document A will come off when the rear plates 1a and 1b are deployed.

In the above description, the upper edge of the document A is sandwiched between the tongue piece 4 and the rear plate 1b. Furthermore, in the above, there are a case where the engagement piece 6 is inserted into the back of the heading card in the heading part 2 and a case where it is inserted into the front of the heading card. A distinction can be made between documents that have been approved.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the engaging piece engaged with the slit 5. The engaging piece 7 in this embodiment is
It has a neck portion 7a whose width is shorter than the length of the slit 5 and one side edge of the slit 5 normally contacts one end of the slit 5, and a protruding portion 7b extending upward and extending sideward from the one side edge. At the same time, the locking portion 7c whose total width t is substantially equal to the slit 5
In use, the projection 7b is inserted into the slit 4 and then one side edge of the neck 7a abuts against one end of the slit 5 to lock the locking portion 7c at one end of the slit 5. It is.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the engaging piece to be engaged with the slit 5. The engaging piece 8 in this embodiment has a width substantially equal to the length of the slit 5 and has left and right side edges. Are inclined parallel to each other. In use, the engaging piece 8 is inserted into the slit 5 along the inclination direction.
In the above description, it is needless to say that one side edge of the front and rear plates 1a and 1b may be welded to form a folder that is opened in two directions.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the closed state of the front and rear plates is held by the engagement between the slit and the engaging piece. When storing in a folder,
When intervening between the rear panels and pulling out the required folder, the front and rear panels are unfolded and the possibility of documents falling off is eliminated, which is convenient for handling and has a unity. It is also convenient for indexing the heading, and when holding the heading and pulling out the folder, the engaging piece is also held together with the heading, so that the load applied to the heading can be reduced. It has such advantages.
