Description

  The present invention relates to a binding foot used for a file whose back width can be adjusted in accordance with an increase or decrease of paper sheets such as documents, and a back width adjustable file including the binding foot.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a file having a mode in which a binding foot is inserted into a binding hole formed in a paper sheet and the paper sheet is bound is known. In particular, various files have been proposed that can change the width of the spine cover to accommodate the amount of paper sheets to be bound. A file that changes the width of the back cover is, for example, a bag in which a front cover and a back cover are separated from each other, and a spine cover having an arbitrary width is integrally formed on one side of the front cover, and the back cover has an opening on one side. It is formed and configured as a shape. Then, the paper sheets are sandwiched with the side edges of the back cover inserted into the opening of the back cover. With this configuration, the width of the spine to be displayed changes according to the amount of the spine inserted into the back cover, so that the amount of sheets to be bound can be freely changed.

  Further, the front cover and the back cover are provided with binding flaps for holding the paper sheets, and the binding flaps have through holes at substantially the same positions as the binding holes formed in the paper sheets. Is provided. A binding foot is inserted from the through hole of the binding flap on the back cover to sandwich the paper sheet, and the binding foot is locked by the binding tool main body on the binding flap side of the front cover.

  The binding foot used for the file that changes the width of the spine must be long enough to accommodate the increase in the number of sheets to be bound. If the binding legs are lengthened in advance so that many paper sheets can be sandwiched, the binding legs will protrude from the cover when there are few paper sheets to be sandwiched, which will deteriorate the appearance and cause problems in storage.

The length of the binding foot can be adjusted according to the amount of paper sheets to be bound. For example, when the amount of paper sheets is increased with a pair of binding feet integrally connected by a connecting piece. Has been proposed which is cut by the connecting piece and divided into two to extend the binding leg (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, an attachment hole through which the binding foot is inserted and an elastically deformable holding portion are formed in the backing member that is in contact with one surface of the paper sheet, and the extra length portion of the binding foot is associated with the holding portion. A file that adjusts the length of the binding foot according to the amount of paper sheets by removing the paper has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent No. 3095690 JP 2006-95964 A

When the operation unit 31 is completely pushed down, the binding foot main body 61 is locked with its tip directed outward.

  In the present invention, when the amount of paper sheets to be bound during use of the file increases, it can be dealt with by shifting the position of the mounting hole where the locking portion 62 of the binding foot 9 is locked. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, by engaging the locking portion 62 with the second mounting hole 22, the main mounting hole of the binding flap 6 is the length of the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22. The binding foot main body 61 drawn from 23 can be lengthened.

  As a method of moving the locking portion 62 of the binding foot 9 from the first mounting hole 21 to the second mounting hole 22, first, the center of the operation portion 31 of the binding tool body 8 is lifted up to the first binding foot press portion 34 and The second binding foot press part 35 is relatively moved inward, and the binding foot main body 61 is unlocked. Next, the engaging portion 62 that is exposed on the side of the back cover 2 that does not come into contact with the sheets of the binding flap 6 is pulled out slightly. Thereafter, the latching blades 64 of the latching portion 62 are sandwiched and pressurized from both sides, and the leading end portions of the latching blades 64 are fitted into the first mounting holes 21. Thereafter, when the front end of the binding foot main body 61 is pulled, the locking portion 62 moves through the first mounting hole 21 to the side in contact with the paper sheets of the binding flap 6, and the binding foot main body enters the second mounting hole 22. 61 base locks.

  In this way, by increasing the length of the binding foot main body 61 drawn from the main attachment hole 23, the number of sheets that can be sandwiched can be increased, and the spine cover 3 corresponding to the thickness of the sheets. By pulling out, the width of the spine 3 can be adjusted freely. The change of the length of the binding foot main body 61 to be pulled out and the withdrawal of the spine cover 3 from the cover 1 can be easily performed in a state where sheets are bound in the file.

  In the present invention, after the paper sheet P is bound by the binding tool, the paper sheet P can be rebound using the binding string B, and the binding tool body 8 and the binding foot 9 attached to the file can be removed. . When the amount of paper sheets to be bound is determined, by binding the paper sheets P with the binding string B instead of the binding tool, the removed binding tool body 8 and the binding foot 9 can be reused for another file, and the binding is performed. The thickness of the tool body 8 can be reduced to reduce the number of file storage locations.

  As a method of binding the paper sheet P with the binding string B, first, the operation unit 31 of the binding tool main body 8 is started, the locking of the binding foot main body 61 is released, and as shown in FIG. The binding portion 9 of one binding foot 9 locked in the first attachment hole 21 of the binding flap 6 on the cover 2 is pinched and the binding foot 9 is pulled out. Next, the front end of the binding string B is inserted into the main attachment hole 23 and pulled out from the binding flap 4 side of the cover 1. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12B, the other binding leg 9 is similarly pulled out, and the other end of the binding string B is inserted into the main attachment hole 23 and pulled out from the binding flap 4 side of the cover 1.

  Next, although not shown, the binding tool body 8 attached to the binding flap 4 of the front cover 1 is removed, and the binding flap 6 of the paper sheet P and the back cover 2 is removed as shown in FIG. The back cover 3 is pulled out with one hand, and the folded piece 5 provided at the base of the binding flap 4 of the cover 1 inserted in the spine insertion part 10 of the cover 1 is pulled out. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13B, the pulled-back folded piece 5 is raised and brought into contact with the binding flap 4.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14A, the leading end of the binding string B is inserted into the third through hole 14 of the corresponding folded piece 5 in a state where the folded piece 5 is raised. After that, as shown in FIG. 14B, the spine cover 3 is again inserted into the opening of the front cover 1, and the width of the spine cover 3 is adjusted to be equal to the thickness of the paper sheet P. The binding flap 1 of 1 is brought into contact with the paper sheet P to tie both ends of the binding string B.

  By the above operation, after binding by the binding tool, the binding sheet B is re-stitched by the binding string B, so that the binding tool body 8 and the binding foot 9 can be used with different files.

  As another aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 15, the first mounting holes 21 can be arranged as two first mounting holes 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, the second mounting hole 22 and the main mounting hole 23 are formed symmetrically on the outer sides of the two first mounting holes 21, and the binding foot 9 is connected to the first mounting hole 21. Is inserted through the second mounting hole 22 and the main mounting hole 23, and the locking portion 62 is locked to the first mounting hole 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, the two first mounting holes are arranged outside, and the second mounting hole 22 and the main mounting hole 23 are formed symmetrically inside the first mounting hole. Then, the binding foot 9 is inserted from the first mounting hole 21 to pass through the second mounting hole 22 and the main mounting hole 23, and the locking portion 62 is locked to the first mounting hole 21. In either case, the positions of the two binding holes provided in the paper sheet P and the main attachment hole 23 are made to coincide with each other. The binding foot 9 has a length slightly shorter than the length from the first mounting hole 21 to the second mounting hole 22 and the end of the file on the main mounting hole 23 side. By attaching, it is possible to make a file that can cope with an increase or decrease in the amount of paper sheets P.
