Description

  The present invention relates to a bundle using a binding tool.

  A cylindrical bundling tool that bundles a large number of sheets so that they can be page-turned through a large number of holes formed in a straight line on one side of a sheet (thin piece) is well known. Calendars and sketchbooks are well known.

  In bundles such as calendars and sketchbooks, a large number of papers can be flipped so that the pages turned together with the cover page orderly overlap the back side of the used pages in order to ensure the separation and independence of each other. It is bound to.

  In order to allow a large number of sheets to be reversed and stacked on the back side in this way, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 10, on one side of each sheet 1 (only one sheet is shown in FIG. 10). A plurality of holes 2 perforated in a straight line are used to close the binding tool 3 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the binding tool 3 has a zigzag shape when the wire is viewed in a plan view and at the same interval as the numerous holes 2 for binding the paper 1, and sequentially becomes U-shaped in the same direction. A plurality of locking pieces 4 are formed by being bent and integrated in parallel, and such a locking piece 4 is bent into a circular shape as shown in FIG. 11 and configured as a ring-shaped locking piece 4. It is called a double ring. As a device (bending device) for bending the locking piece 4 into a circular shape, a known bending device is applied (see Patent Document 1).

The method of bundling a large number of sheets 1 using the binding tool 3 is not limited to the above-described sketch book, and is also used for stationery such as a normal notebook because of its convenience. The ring-shaped locking piece 4 is hereinafter referred to as a ring portion 4. Moreover, the part which connects the ring part 4 and the ring part 4 is called a connection part, and is shown with the code | symbol 6. FIG.

  By the way, it is common sense that no matter how functionally superior a product that ignores the design can be sold, it is the same with the stationery using the binding tool described above. With stationery using binding tools, it seems that binding tools tend to attract customers' attention.

  Therefore, the present inventor studied whether a design element could be added to the binding tool while enhancing the creativity as a technical idea.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to add design elements to the binding tool while improving creativity as a technical idea.

In the present invention, a large number of locking pieces are formed integrally and in parallel by bending a single wire in a U-shape or a V-shape in the same direction sequentially at a predetermined interval. Using a binding tool that passes a piece through a large number of holes formed in a straight line on one side of a piece of paper, sheet, or other thin piece, and bends them into a ring shape to bind a plurality of thin pieces in a page turnable manner. A bundle is provided with a plurality of the binding tools for binding the multiple thin pieces, and the locking pieces of the multiple binding tools are alternately passed through the multiple holes of the thin pieces while being shifted by predetermined holes. In addition, the binding tools are different in color.

  Therefore, according to the bundle using the binding tool of the present invention, the locking pieces of the plurality of binding tools are bent in a ring shape in a large number of holes formed in a straight line on one side of the plurality of thin pieces. Passed through. Since there are a plurality of binding tools and all have different colors, a peculiar color woven by a plurality of colors is formed. For this reason, the image which was not in the case where the number of binding tools is singular, that is, the image of a single color can be wiped out when speaking of the color of the binding tools.

  If the number of binding tools is two, it becomes a binding tool in which two colors are alternately switched, and if it is three, it becomes a binding tool in which three colors are alternately switched, which is colorful. In addition, since there are a plurality of binding tools and the plurality of binding tools have different sizes, a three-dimensional change occurs between the binding tools, and this is not the case when there is a single binding tool. Have a new image.

  The present invention is also a binding tool. That is, a large number of locking pieces that are integrally and arranged in parallel are formed by bending a single wire in a U-shape or V-shape in the same direction sequentially at a predetermined interval. Each piece of paper, sheet or other thin piece is passed through a large number of holes formed in a straight line and bent into a ring shape to form a ring part, and the multiple thin pieces can be turned by this ring part. A plurality of sets of binding tools to be bound to each other, each locking piece of the plurality of binding tools is sequentially passed through the numerous holes of the thin piece in a state of being shifted by a predetermined number of holes. The binding tool is made larger, and the binding tool is different in color.

  The binding tool is a set of two, and the locking pieces of the binding tools are alternately passed through the numerous holes of the thin piece in a state shifted by one hole.

  Furthermore, the present invention is also a method for assembling a binding tool that binds the plurality of thin pieces using a binding tool. The feature is that the smaller the binding tool, the locking piece is passed through the plurality of holes first, and after the locking pieces of all the binding tools are passed through the multiple holes, all the locking pieces are ring-shaped. It is in bending.

  According to the present invention, design elements can be added to the binding tool while enhancing the creativity as a technical idea.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter, embodiments) will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The binding tool 30 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The binding tool 30 differs from the binding tool 3 described in the prior art in that the binding tool 3 has a single structure, whereas the binding tool 30 according to the present embodiment has almost the same form as the binding tool 3. It is in the point of the composite structure by the binding tools 3A and 3B having the structure. This will be described in detail below.

  The binding tool 30 is a combination of binding tools 3A and 3B having different sizes (diameters) as a binding tool component to form a single binding tool as a whole (FIGS. 1 to 5, FIG. 9).

FIG. 1 shows a bundle 50 in which a plurality of sheets 1 are bound using a binding tool 30 according to the present invention. 2 and 3 are a cross-sectional view taken from the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1 and a cross-sectional view cut at an appropriate location in FIG. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, a conventional bundle 5 in which an image of a bundle 50 in which a plurality of sheets 1 are bound using a binding tool 30 is bound by a single-piece binding tool 3 (FIG. 10).
, 11)), which is considerably different. In FIG. 1, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 </ b> A before and after a large number of sheets 1 is a cover, which is made of thicker paper than the sheet 1.

  The binding tools 3A and 3B are structured in the same form as the binding tool 3 as described above. The binding tools 3A and 3B are composed of a ring portion and a coupling portion, but the binding tool 3A is more overall than the binding tool 3B. It is slightly larger and has a configuration in which the binding tool 3B is accommodated coaxially in the binding tool 3A (see FIGS. 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9). In this specification, for convenience, the binding tool 3A is referred to as an outer binding tool 3A, and the binding tool 3B is referred to as an inner binding tool 3A.

The ring portion and the coupling portion of the outer binding tool 3A are denoted by reference numerals 41A and 6A, respectively, and the ring portion and the coupling portion of the inner binding tool 3B are denoted by reference numerals 41B and 6B, respectively (see FIGS. 3, 4, and 8).
In the outer binding tool 3A, the virtual cylinder A is constituted by the ring part 41A and the coupling part 6A, and in the inner binding tool 3B, the virtual cylinder B is constituted by the ring part 41B and the coupling part 6B ( (See FIGS. 6, 8 and 9).

  The virtual cylinder A related to the outer binding tool 3A accommodates the virtual cylinder B in a state of approaching the virtual cylinder B as the virtual cylinder B related to the inner binding tool 3B is inscribed. That is, the inner diameter of the ring portion 41A of the outer binding tool 3A is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the ring portion 41B of the inner binding tool 3B (see FIG. 3).

  Then, the ring portion 41A of the outer binding tool 3A and the ring portion 41B of the inner binding tool 3B are inserted into the numerous holes 2 of the paper 1 in a shifted state (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Both the binding tools 3A and 3B can freely rotate as their ring portions 41A and 41B are guided by the holes 2.

  The tip 41a of the ring portion 41A of the outer binding tool 3A (U-shaped folded portion) 41a is somewhat separated from the base end 41b of the ring portion 41A, whereas the tip 41a of the ring portion 41B of the inner binding tool 3B is Then, it comes into contact with the base end 41b of the ring portion 41B (see FIG. 6).

  When the inner binding tool 3B is rotated most clockwise in FIG. 3 with respect to the outer binding tool 3A (see arrow a in FIG. 3), the tip 41a of the inner binding tool 3B is coupled to the outer binding tool 3A. It hits the center of the portion 6A, and further rotation is suppressed (see FIGS. 3 and 8). At this time, although the tip 41a of the ring portion 41A of the outer binding tool 3A and the tip 41a of the ring portion 41B of the inner binding tool 3B are somewhat displaced in the circumferential direction of each ring portion, the shaft of the binding tool 30 is viewed as a whole. It appears that they are generally aligned in the direction (longitudinal direction of the bundle 50) (see FIG. 8).

  The outer binding tool 3A and the inner binding tool 3B have different colors. For example, the outer binding tool 3A is white and the inner binding tool 3B is black. However, in the drawing, the colored part (the part colored with a color other than white) is indicated by a gradation (pear character), and even if the gradation is added, the boundary between the lines on the drawing is not obscure. It was. However, only in FIG. 2, the inner binding tool 3 </ b> B was colored in black so that the image was close to the actual one. In addition, the coloring may be one in which a single wire is covered with vinyl and colored on vinyl, or may be directly colored on a wire.

  According to the bundle 50 using the binding tool 30, the ring portion 41 </ b> A of the white outer binding tool 3 </ b> A and the black portion of the white outer binding tool 3 </ b> A are formed in a large number of holes 2 formed on one side of the plurality of sheets 1. The ring portions 41B of the inner binding tool 3B are alternately passed.

Therefore, it can be said that the bundle 50 forms a peculiar color woven by two colors by the binding tools 3A and 3B having different colors. The two colors are alternately switched. For this reason, it is possible to produce a new image with colors that were not present when the number of binding tools 3A and 3B is single. As a result, the image of a single color can be wiped off when referring to the color of the binding tool (for example, see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  The binding tool 30 is a set of composites formed by combining the binding tools 3A and 3B, and the ring portions 41A and 41B of the binding tools 3A and 3B have different sizes. Occasionally unevenness is generated in the entire binding tool 30 and a three-dimensional change is produced, so that it can be enjoyed that it is not uniform. This three-dimensional change also contributes to creating a new image that was not present when the binding tool has a single structure. Therefore, design elements can be added to the binding tool while enhancing the creativity as a technical idea.

  Further, the bundle 50 has been disclosed in which the binding tool 30 having two sets of the outer binding tool 3A and the inner binding tool 3B is applied as the binding tool component, but there are three binding tool components. It is also possible to make a set with. In this case, it is needless to say that the form and structure are the same as those of the binding tool 30 only in the size (diameter) and color of the binding tool components. Specifically, the ring portion has a binding component having large, medium, and small diameters, and each of the large, medium, and small binding components has different colors (for example, white, black, and red). ) Is a colored binding tool.

Also in this case, the ring portions of the three binding components are alternately passed through a large number of holes 2 formed in a straight line on one side of the plurality of sheets 1. As a result, it becomes a binding tool in which the three colors are alternately changed, and is more colorful. Also, the three-dimensional change increases as the number of binding component elements increases.
The same applies to the case where the number of binding tool components is four or more, and it can be said that the binding tool 30 changes three-dimensionally as the number of binding tool components increases.

  When the bundle 50 is bundled with a binding tool composed of a plurality of binding tool components, the binding tool component having a small diameter of the ring portion is inserted first into the hole 2 of the paper 1. In other words, the diameter of the ring portion is larger as the binding component constituting the latter is passed through the hole 2. Note that the length of the binding component becomes shorter as the number of binding components increases.

  Each ring portion is formed in a ring shape after the non-curved locking piece 4 of the binding tool component is passed through the hole 2, and the locking piece 4 of each binding tool component is After shifting one hole at a time and passing through all the holes 2, the locking piece 4 is bent into a ring shape by the bending device described above to form each ring portion. By doing in this way, a ring part can be formed in a some binding tool component at once. Therefore, assembly can be performed easily and quickly.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples described above. That is, it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the folded portion of the ring portion 41A of the outer binding tool 3A and each ring portion 41B of the inner binding tool 3B may be bent into a V shape instead of a U shape.
In this embodiment, the bundle 50 is a bundle of sheets 1 but may be a sheet made of synthetic resin or the like.

It is a whole perspective view of a bundle using the binding tool according to the present invention. It is the figure seen from the arrow II direction of FIG. It is the cross-sectional view cut | disconnected in the appropriate location of FIG. It is a whole perspective view of only the binding tool which concerns on this invention. It is a perspective view at the time of isolate | separating the binding tool which concerns on this invention. FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5. It is the perspective view which looked at FIG. 5 from the back side. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 4. It is the figure which looked at FIG. 8 from the back side. It is a figure for demonstrating a prior art. It is another figure for demonstrating a prior art.
