[Prior art]
In order to store or carry documents of standard sizes such as A4 and B5, so-called case files formed in a box shape have been widely used. Conventional case files include a document holding mechanism, The binding tool was not equipped, or a binding rod provided in a fixed manner was used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For this reason, the documents stored in the case were crumpled inside when carried, and the documents were scattered, and the edges of the documents were bent or cracked, and the edges of the documents were damaged. In addition, those that use a binding rod cannot be stored unless a binding hole is made in the document, and the binding rod is provided only on either the short side or the long side of the case. Documents with binding holes may be unable to be stored depending on their positions, and furthermore, documents that can be stored are limited, such as being unsuitable for documents in which binding holes cannot be formed.
[0004]
On the other hand, as what can be bound regardless of the type of document, there are a clipboard in which a binding tool is provided on one edge of a flat plate, a clip file in which a cover is provided in two folds, and the like. The clip used for these is wound around a long side of a steel wire bent in a substantially rectangular shape, and is fastened to a board with a spring tightened, and the document is pressed on the other side by the restoring force of the spring. Although the spring pressure changes depending on the amount (thickness) of documents to be bound, it is difficult to attach and detach the documents when the amount of documents is large. Conversely, if the amount of documents is too small, the documents fall off. In addition, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.
[0005]
Therefore, when trying to apply the clip used for clipboard etc. to the above case file, the side wall of the case becomes an obstacle, and it is difficult to lift and open the spring biased clip. It was difficult to insert a document into the clip from the horizontal direction, and it was not always suitable for attaching and detaching the document.
[0006]
In addition, since the various binding tools described above are usually fixedly attached to any one of the upper side or the left side of the substrate, when trying to clamp a document already bound by a gem clip, fastener, stapler, etc. The binding tool interferes with the stapler at the binding position, which is inconvenient.
[0007]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a case file in which a binding position and a pressing tool for a document can be detachably selected so that a mounting position can be selected, and the file can be securely stored and held in a case regardless of the type of the document.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the case file according to the present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiment shown in the drawings.
In FIG. 1, 1 is a case file box that is slightly larger than standard size paper such as A4, B5, etc., and 2 is a lid, which is connected to the box 1 via a hinge 3 so as to be opened and closed. At the same time, the box body 1 and the lid body 2 are securely closed by the fasteners 4 provided at positions corresponding to each other. Further, a support base 5 is provided on the left side (hinge 3 side) and the upper side of the side peripheral wall 1a of the box 1 so that the document binding tool 6 and the pressing tool 7 described below can be selectively and detachably attached. It can be worn.
[0014]
For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 (A) and 6 (A), the support base 5 is provided with a mounting opening 5a for inserting a locking piece provided on the binding tool 6 or the pressing tool 7 on the upper surface, and below that. The binding tool 6 or the pressing tool 7 can be mounted so that the locking claws of the locking piece inserted with the locking portions 5b provided on the left and right are engaged.
[0015]
Next, FIG. 2 shows an example of the binding tool 6. In the figure, 8 is a bottom plate, 9 is a back plate, 10 is an upper plate, and can be bent at the bent portions 11 and 11, respectively. Concatenated.
The bottom plate 8 is provided with binding rods 12 and 12 having locking balls 13 on the top of the head at a predetermined interval, and the engaging holes into which the locking balls 13 are fitted at corresponding positions on the upper plate 10. 14 is provided and the upper plate 10 is closed, so that a document (not shown) having a binding hole can be bound. The binding structure is not limited to this, and a conventionally known binding structure can be applied.
[0016]
In addition, a notch 15 through which the support base 5 can be inserted is provided at the center of the connecting portion from the back plate 9 to the bottom plate 8, and an interval corresponding to the width of the mounting opening 5a of the support base 5 is provided on the back plate 9 side. Then, the locking pieces 16 and 16 having the locking claws 16a at the tip are projected. In addition, a space between both the locking pieces 16 is an insertion plate 17 that assists in insertion into the mounting opening 5a.
Reference numeral 18 denotes a protective plate for preventing the end portion of the document from interfering with the locking piece 16 and the like when the binding tool 6 is attached to the support base 5.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 3, when the locking piece 16 and the insertion plate 17 are inserted into the mounting opening 5 a from above the support base 5, the binding tool 6 has the locking claw 16 a of the lock piece 16 to be supported by the support base 5. The latching part 5b is elastically engaged with the binding part 5b to regulate the removal of the binding tool 6 as a whole.
[0018]
Further, when removing the locking tool 6, as shown in FIG. 4, if the entire binding tool 6 is pushed so as to be shifted in either the left or right direction, as shown in FIG. The binding piece 16 is bent and the engagement with the locking portion 5a of the locking claw 16a on the opposite side is released, and the binding tool 6 can be easily removed if it is tilted and pulled upward.
[0019]
Next, FIG. 5 shows an example of the presser 7. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 19 is a sandwich plate which is substantially S-shaped in side view and is provided with a flat portion 19a at the tip and a notch in the center. An appropriate pressing force is obtained. The rear end of the sandwiching plate 19 is bent in the vertical direction to form an insertion plate 20, and both sides of the sandwiching plate 19 are spaced at intervals corresponding to the width of the mounting opening 5 a of the support base 5 through the slits 20 a. Is provided, and a locking claw 21 a is provided at the tip of each locking piece 21. That is, the engaging structure with respect to the support base 5 is substantially the same as the binding tool 6 described above.
[0020]
The flat portion 19a has a bottom surface which is the bottom plate surface of the box 1 when the insertion plate 20 and the locking piece 21 are inserted into the mounting opening 5a and the locking claw 21a is engaged with the locking portion 5b. The positional relationship is set so as to be lower, and even when the number of documents is as small as two or three, the elastic flat portion 19a can obtain a pressing force sufficient to press and hold the document.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 6, when the insertion plate 20 and the locking piece 21 are inserted into the insertion port 5 a from above the support base 5, the presser 7 has the locking claw 21 a of the locking piece 21 of the support base 5. The stopper 5 is elastically engaged with the locking portion 5b to restrict the removal of the presser 7 as a whole.
[0022]
Further, when removing the presser 7, as shown in FIG. 3C, if the intermediate portion of the locking piece 21 is pressed from the left and right, the locking piece 21 is bent toward the slit 20 a side and the locking claw 21 a. Since the engagement of the locking portion 5b is released, it is only necessary to pull it up as it is.
[0023]
In the binding tool 6 and the pressing tool 7, the insertion plate 17 or 20 is provided so that the locking pieces 16 and 21 are narrowed so that they can be bent easily, and as shown in FIG. This is to withstand the force (F) applied to the binding tool 6 or the pressing tool 7 when fitted to the support base 5 by 17 and 20. In particular, the presser 7 is effective in protecting the portion because the force applied to the insertion plate 20 and the locking piece 21 increases as the thickness of the document to be sandwiched increases.
[0024]
Next, the method of using the case file of the present invention according to the above configuration will be described. In the case of a document having a binding hole on the left side or the upper side, the binding is first performed using the binding rod 12 of the binding tool 6, The binding tool 6 is mounted on one of the support bases 5 of the case file and stored in the case. Since the document is held by the binding tool 6, the document is not scattered in the case and the peripheral edge of the document is not damaged. At this time, since the binding tool 6 is selectively detachable on the left side or the upper side of the case file, even if it is a document having a binding hole on the left side or a document having a binding hole on the upper side, the case file Can be stored and stored inside.
[0025]
Further, since the binding tool 6 can be attached to and detached from the case file while binding the document, if the documents are classified and bound in the plurality of binding tools 6, the documents can be easily replaced.
Even after the binding tool 6 is mounted on the support base 5, the upper plate 10 can be opened and closed to freely insert and remove documents.
[0026]
On the other hand, in the case of a document in which a binding hole cannot be formed, the document is first stored in a box, and then the pressing tool 7 is attached to the support base 5 to press and clamp the document. At this time, since the flat portion 19a is set in a state where it is pressure-bonded to the bottom plate surface of the box, a pressing force sufficient to hold the document can be obtained even if the amount of documents is small. Further, unlike the conventional clip, the presser 7 is attached and detached in the vertical direction, so that documents can be easily put in and out.
[0027]
Further, since the presser 7 is selectively detachable on the left side or the upper side of the case file, for example, when storing a document that has been previously bound with a stapler or a fastener as it is, the presser 7 should not be interfered with the binding position. 7 can be installed to store documents in case files.
[0028]
Further, if the binding tool 6 and the pressing tool 7 are used together, the binding tool 6 is used to store the document in the box, and the pressing tool 7 can further suppress the backlash of the document (P) (FIG. 8). For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the presser 7 can be inserted in the middle of a bundle of documents (P) and used as a substitute for a bookmark.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the case file according to the present invention is configured to selectively and detachably attach the binding tool and presser of the document so that the document can be stored. It is possible to select whether to use or to use a pressing tool, and it is possible to expect excellent effects such as selecting the mounting position of the binding tool according to the position of the binding hole provided in the document.
[0030]
In addition, since it is equipped with a binding tool and a pressing tool, it can be used to bind various documents without the risk of the documents being scattered or damaging the periphery of the document. Since the tool is attached and detached in the vertical direction, it is easy to store and use documents.
[0031]
Furthermore, it is possible to replace documents in units of binding tools, which is convenient for document management and can be used as a bookmarker as a bookmark, and various excellent effects can be expected.
