Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clear file which is easy to classify and search documents accommodated even for visually impaired persons. SOLUTION: A document or the like is sandwiched and stored between a front sheet and a back sheet formed by folding one rectangular plastic sheet in half and joining the overlapped bottoms by a welding process. It is a clear file of the above, and forms a plurality of cutout pieces 5, 6 and 7 which are symmetrical about the bent side 1 and which are perforated and have different shapes.

Description

The present invention relates to a clear file for storing documents and the like.

A clear file that is widely used in offices and homes to sort and store documents. Since thin and transparent sheet-shaped plastic is usually used as the material, it is very useful for storing documents, such as being able to easily see the sandwiched documents on the outside.

However, since a general clear file has a thin shape without a spine, it is difficult to find a clear file that sandwiches the target document when multiple clear files are stored together in a bookshelf or when they are stacked flat. In addition, it is difficult for visually impaired people to find the target document from the clear file with no difference in shape.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a clear file that is easy to find not only for healthy people but also for visually impaired people, and has the following features. In a clear file formed by folding a rectangular plastic sheet in half at a bent side, the front sheet and the back sheet are overlapped, the bottom side adjacent to the bent side is welded, and the other sides are opened. The front sheet and the back sheet are characterized in that a plurality of cut pieces are formed around the bent side. The cut pieces are characterized in that a plurality of the cut pieces are formed symmetrically with respect to the bent side, and each has a different shape.

As described above, the clear file of the present invention can be easily searched visually due to the difference in appearance caused by cutting the cut piece, and the target clear file can be obtained from the difference in shape by touching the cut portion with a fingertip. Easy to find.

The figure which shows the plastic sheet used for this invention. Diagram showing how to create a clear file of the present invention Completion drawing of the clear file of the present invention The figure which shows the state which puts the sheet-like object in the clear file of this invention. The figure which shows the place where the cut piece was cut The figure which shows the usage form of the clear file of this invention The figure which shows the state which a plurality of clear files of this invention are used.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a die-cut rectangular plastic sheet. The front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4 are provided by folding the plastic sheet in half from the bent side 1 and superimposing it on top of each other, and joining the overlapped bottom sides 2 by welding, and the two sides are opened as shown in FIG. A clear file is formed, and as shown in FIG. 4, it can mainly hold documents and sheet-shaped objects 8 and can be easily taken in and out. The side 12 has a convex shape, and the finger hook piece 16 is formed so as to slightly protrude from the side 11, making it easy to hook a finger when turning the front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4.

The clear file provided with the front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4 of the present invention is generally widely used, and a plastic sheet such as polypropylene is often used as the material, and PET, paper, etc. are also used. In some cases.

As shown in FIG. 3, the clear file of the present invention is provided with cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 having a symmetrical shape centered on the bent side 1 continuously on the front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4. By cutting them, any or all of the cutouts 5a, 6a, 7a are formed on the bent side 1 of the clear file and the continuous front sheet 3 and back sheet 4, which is visually impaired and visually impaired. Even for humans, by touching any or all of the cutouts 5a, 6a, 7a with a fingertip, the clear file can be identified by the difference in shape.

FIG. 3 shows the most standard structure of the present invention, in which cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 having different shapes are formed on the front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4 which are continuous around the bent side 1. It should be noted that the cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 are examples for explaining the present invention, and are not limited to three pieces, and can be increased or decreased as necessary during manufacturing. It is best to use a combination of rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, etc., without limiting the shape of the cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 to a semicircle so that they can be easily identified when touched. Since the cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 are perforated, they can be easily cut without using scissors or a utility knife.

FIG. 4 shows the usage state of the clear file of the present invention, and the documents to be stored are inserted and held from the open sides 9 and 12 of the front sheet 3 and the sides 10 and 11 of the back sheet 4, and the cut pieces 5, 6 and 7 are held. It shows that it can be used as a general clear file if it is not cut out.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which only the cut piece 5 is cut out as an example of use, and the cutout portion 5a is formed over the bent side 1 and the front sheet 3 and the back sheet 4d to facilitate visual search. As shown in FIG. 6, even a visually impaired person can find the clear file by touching the notch 5a with his / her fingertip.

When classifying and storing documents, etc. using multiple clear files of the present invention, cut out the cut pieces at different positions for each clear file as shown in Fig. 7 so that the positions do not overlap. Will be easier to find.

For example, when using three clear files of the present invention, the first clear file 13 cuts the cut piece 5 and the second clear file 14 cuts the cut piece 6 as shown in FIG. 7, and the third clear file is cleared. File 15 cuts out the cut piece 7 and shifts the positions of the bent side 1 and the continuous front sheet 3 and back sheet 4 to form notches 5a, 6a, and 7a. When these three clear files are stored side by side in a library stack, etc., the positions of the cutouts 5a, 6a, and 7a do not overlap, and the shapes are different, so it is easy to recognize the difference visually or when touching with a fingertip. If you remember in advance what documents are put in the clear file of which notch shape, you can find the desired clear file without visually checking.
