[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a file that can increase the size of the storage space according to the amount of documents to be stored, the side of the file is formed to be foldable inward or outward, and when the amount of documents is small, the side can be inward or outward. It is known that the file is folded to make it thinner. In the conventional file that folds the side of the file inward, the side of the file folds inward, which causes the inside of the file to protrude into the storage space, making it difficult to put documents in and out, resulting in poor workability. There was a point. For this reason, it is necessary to produce a file with a width that is as long as the side of the folded file protrudes inward, and the file can be taken in and out of a commercially available file shelf that is produced according to the document size standard. It is difficult to do, and the workability is poor. The conventional type of file that folds the side of the file to the outside increases the width by the amount that the side of the file projects outward by folding the side of the file to the outside. It is difficult to put in and take out, and the workability is poor.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these problems in the related art, the size of the storage space can be easily and surely changed according to the usage situation, and the file size can be changed regardless of the storage capacity of documents. The horizontal length can be kept constant at all times, allowing smooth loading and unloading to and from commercially available file shelves, and even when the amount of documents stored is small, it is possible to smoothly load and unload documents into files, greatly improving workability. The purpose is to provide a file with adjustable thickness.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since the overhanging piece which is the side surface of the file moves back and forth in the slit, the thickness of the side surface of the file changes, and the size of the storage space can be freely changed. When the amount of documents to be stored is small and the distance between the facing sheets is narrow, the overhanging piece enters into the slit, so that the overhanging piece does not project to the outside. Is kept at a constant size regardless of changes in document capacity. For this reason, it has become possible to smoothly take in and out of a commercially available file shelf that is manufactured according to the standard. In addition, since the overhanging piece is inserted into the slit in a free state, the pair of sheets facing each other does not spread outward, so that a wasteful accommodation space is not formed and the amount of documents to be accommodated is satisfied. The accommodation space having a width is formed.

When a plurality of cut grooves perpendicular to the root of the overhanging piece are arranged side by side with a gap therebetween, and the root of the overhanging piece is easily bent to a required width, the root of the overhanging piece is bent from the predetermined groove. It can be bent and the overhanging piece can be bent with the required width, and the side surface of the file can be formed into a flat shape.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the present invention, it is desirable that the projecting piece is provided at both side ends of one sheet of the pair of opposed sheets, but the projecting piece is provided at one side end of one sheet and the other sheet of the other sheet is provided. There is a case where the overhanging piece is provided on the side edge of the sheet, and a case where the overhanging piece is provided on only one side edge of the one sheet. When the overhanging piece is provided only on the one end portion of the latter, the other end portion without the overhanging piece may be connected to each other for sealing, or may be opened without being connected to each other. There are cases in which the lower ends of a pair of seats are connected to the lower ends of the storage seats and the connecting portions are bendable, and where there is no storage seat provided with the storage pockets. The pair of sheets and the overhanging piece are preferably transparent or translucent, but may be non-transparent. As for the shape of the overhanging piece, it is desirable to gradually reduce the width toward the tip because it can smoothly move back and forth in the slit. The pair of sheets and the overhanging piece may be integrally formed, or another article may be attached by heat fusion or adhesion. Polypropylene, which has excellent water resistance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance, is generally used as the material for the pair of sheets and the overhanging piece.

Example 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 is an example in which overhanging pieces are provided at both side ends of one of a pair of facing sheets. The second embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is an example in which the space for accommodating documents is only between a pair of opposed sheets. In Example 3 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, one sheet out of a pair of opposing sheets is provided with an overhanging piece at one side end, and the other sheet is provided with an overhanging piece at the other side edge. This is an example in which pieces are provided alternately. Example 4 shown in FIG. 10 is an example in which a projecting piece is provided only on one side end of one sheet of a pair of facing sheets.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage state of the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a developed state of the first embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a state in which an overhanging piece of the first embodiment is pulled out from a slit. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a state in which the amount of documents stored in the first embodiment is small, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment, FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 8, and FIG. It is a perspective view.

Example 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 6) In FIGS. 1 to 6, 1 is a file, 2 is a polypropylene-made lateral length of about 46 cm, and a transparent rectangular shape having a height of about 30 cm and two. The outer sheet 2a is bent to the outer sheet 2, and the lower portion 3 is heat-fused along the line of the bent portion 2a of the outer sheet 2 at the lower end thereof. The transparent first inner sheet used as a material, 4 is an overhanging piece whose width is reduced toward the tips extending from both ends of the outer sheet 2, and 6 is provided on both sides of the first inner sheet 3. A slit having a width of about 3 mm, 7 cut grooves arranged in parallel at the base of the overhanging piece 4 with an interval of 4 mm, 8 heat-sealing the lower end to the bent portion 2a of the outer sheet 2 and one side of the outer sheet The second inner sheet sealed to the outer periphery of 2, the accommodation space 9 formed by the first inner sheet 3 and the outer sheet 2, and 9a the first Second accommodation space formed between the inner sheet 8 and the outer sheet 10 is of A4 documents 11 are thermally fused portion.

The file 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a storage space 9 and a second storage space 9 a, but the document 10 is mainly composed of the first inner sheet 3 and the outer sheet 2. It is accommodated in the accommodated space 9 thus prepared. The second accommodation space 9a formed by the second inner sheet 8 and the outer sheet 2 can accommodate only a few documents. The main accommodation space 9 for accommodating the document 10 is obtained by inserting the overhanging piece 4 provided on the outer sheet 2 into the slit 6 provided on the first inner sheet 3 from the outside. And the overhanging piece 4 is formed inside the accommodation space 9. Moreover, since the overhanging piece 4 whose width becomes gradually smaller toward the tip is inserted into the slit 6 and can be moved back and forth in the slit 6 smoothly, the accommodation space 9 is widened by the thickness of the accommodated document 10. Even if the distance between the outer sheet 2 and the first inner sheet 3 becomes longer, the projecting piece 4 which is the side surface of the file 1 moves smoothly from inside the slit to form the accommodation space 9 necessary for accommodation. It will be done. When the number of documents 10 accommodated is small, the overhanging piece 4 is accommodated in the slit 6 and the side surface of the file 1 does not project outward or inward, so that the width of the file 1 does not expand. Therefore, the horizontal dimension of the file 1 can be kept constant regardless of the capacity of the document 10 and the file can be smoothly put in and taken out of a commercially available file shelf manufactured according to the standard size. Since a plurality of cut grooves 7 are juxtaposed at the root of the overhanging piece 4, if necessary, the overhanging piece 4 can be bent at a predetermined cut groove 7 position to easily make a crease. The side surface of the file 1 can be formed flat. By advancing and retracting the overhanging piece 4, the first inner sheet 3 can be largely separated from the outer sheet 2, and the document 10 can be easily taken in and out.
