Description

  The present invention relates to a locking object fixing device for fixing a locking object on a locked object. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a binding tool fixing device for fixing a binding tool for binding a document or the like on a file body.

  Files for binding documents are widely used in various scenes such as businesses and homes. In general, the material of the cover body (file body) of this file is paper or resin. On the other hand, a binding tool for binding a document or the like may be made of metal or a relatively strong resin. Many. Therefore, there is a need to replace parts of the cover body and binding tool in response to damage caused by using the file. There is also a demand to separate the binding tool. Further, in the mechanical field and the like, there is a need to fix various objects to a specific part so as to be detachable.

In order to meet these demands, a technique for separating a binding tool and a file main body in a file for binding a document or the like has been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this technique, two engagement holes are provided in the spine portion of the file main body, and the binding tool is clamped on the file main body by an attachment means having a claw portion that engages with the engagement hole. The binding tool is fixed by engaging the claw portion with the engagement hole of the file body. Further, when the binding tool is removed from the file body, the engagement between the claw portion and the engagement hole is released.
Another aspect of the method for fixing the binding tool to the file body is also disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 2. In this technique, a fixing device for fixing is attached from the front side (outside) of the file body in a state in which the binding tool to be fixed is arranged on the file body. This attachment device has a pair of fixing engaging portions connected by a connecting portion that applies an elastic force. When fixing a binding tool, the user resists the elastic force between the engaging portions. Then, in the expanded state, the engaging portion is applied to the file main body and the binding tool. When the user releases the hand, a fixing force for fixing is generated between the engaging portion and the binding tool or the like by the elastic force. When the binding tool is removed from the file body, the user may again widen the engagement portion against the elastic force.

  When fixing a binding tool for binding a document or the like to the file body, considering the convenience of the user, fixing the binding tool is completed by an operation on either the inner side or the outer side of the file main body. Is preferred.

Further, if the user tries to attach / detach the binding tool by accessing from one side of the file body, there is no support for attaching / detaching the binding tool from the other side of the file body. By simplifying the configuration of the apparatus, the user's workability must be ensured. As a result, a configuration in which the fixing force of the binding device by the fixing device is not considered to be sufficient is often found in the related art. In other words, in the conventional configuration, when a document is bound against a library or the like, the fixing device may be detached from the file body due to the weight of the document or the fixing device may be damaged. However, when the document or the like is bound and dropped from the height of the table or the like, it cannot sufficiently withstand the impact force acting on the fixing portion of the binding tool, and thus has not been put into practical use.

  In the present invention, in view of the above-described problems, a binding tool fixing device for a file and a molding metal that can detachably fix a binding tool for binding a document or the like only from one side of the file main body. The purpose is to provide a mold.

  Also, in a wide range of mechanical fields, when various objects to be locked are detachably fixed to a locked object, considering the convenience of the user, the operation for detaching is performed on both sides of the locked object. From one side, for example, it is preferable to be able to perform from the side where the locking object is installed with respect to the locked object, that is, from the locked object. For example, if you want to detachably attach an interphone or a picture frame to a gypsum board that forms a hollow wall surface, it is difficult for the user to perform the work for fixing these locking objects from the back side of the wall surface. is there.

  However, a mechanism that has been proposed in the past for detachably fixing an object to be locked to an object to be locked by access (operation) only from one side (in the above example, the front side of the wall) is sufficient. It was pointed out that the resultant force could not be obtained, or that the locking mechanism would fall off as soon as it was not locked in a strictly accurate (as designed) state. This problem occurs because the locking member is inserted into the locking member only on one side, and the locked member of the locking member becomes the locked object itself. . In other words, since it is necessary to design so that the engagement state is substantially maintained only by the locking member, for example, a mechanism that engages with another part such as a backing portion and sandwiches the object to be locked and the object to be locked Compared with, the engaging force is overwhelmingly weak. Further, even if the engagement force is designed to be sufficiently obtained in such a mechanism, the engagement force cannot be obtained as expected unless the locking member is arranged at the expected position, and a large load is applied to the locking member. In some cases, the engaged state is inadvertently released. Therefore, for example, as a mechanism for detachably fixing the binding tool in the file field as described above to the file body, several mechanisms have been proposed in which the engagement is completed only by accessing from one side. The reality is that has not yet been put to practical use.

  In the present invention, in view of the above-described problems, a locking object fixing device that enables a locking object to be detachably fixed only by work from one side of both sides of the object to be locked is provided. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides an insertion inserted into a file-side hole portion on the file body side and a fixing hole side on the binding device side provided to fix the binding tool and the file body. A portion is provided, and movement relating to fixing of the binding tool or the like of each insertion portion is restricted by a lock member. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to secure user operability and firmly fix the binding tool or the like.

Specifically, the present invention uses a fixing hole provided in a binding tool for binding documents and the like, and a file side hole provided in the file main body to fix the binding tool and the file main body. A fixing device main body disposed in the file main body, an insertion portion provided in the fixing device main body, and inserted into a communication hole formed by overlapping the fixing hole and the file side hole; When the insertion portion is inserted into the communication hole, a member on the back side in the insertion direction of the insertion portion of the file main body and the binding tool is used as an engaged member, and the fixing device main body portion is moved in a predetermined engagement state when the insertion portion is inserted. Engagement and disengagement with respect to the member to be engaged can be performed by performing a predetermined engagement release movement, and a predetermined engagement release movement of the fixing device main body part and A restrictable locking member. In the binding device fixing device, when the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the fixing device main body portion, the engagement portion forms an engagement state with the engaged member, and the predetermined engagement of the fixing device main body portion. When the disengagement position reaches the disengagement position, the engagement state with the engaged member is released, and in a state where the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the fixing device main body portion, the lock member is predetermined. , The predetermined disengagement movement of the fixing device main body is restricted.

  In the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention, the insertion portion is inserted into the communication hole formed by communicating the file side hole provided in the file body and the fixing hole provided on the binding tool side. The Then, in the inserted state, the engagement portion provided in the insertion portion is one of the file body and the binding tool located on the back side in the insertion direction of the insertion portion (the engaged member according to the present invention). On the other hand, it is moved to a state where it can be engaged and released. In the present invention, the movement of the former engagement portion is referred to as a predetermined engagement movement, and the movement of the latter engagement portion is referred to as a predetermined engagement release movement. The directions related to these movements do not necessarily need to be directions that reciprocate on a straight line. However, in consideration of the convenience related to the operation of the engaging portion of the user, the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement are in a straight line. The directions are preferably opposite to each other.

  When the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member, the binding tool and the file main body are fixed by the engaging portion and the fixing device main body of the binding fixing device. When the engagement state is released, the fixed state between the binding tool and the file body is released. As a result, the binding tool can be freely attached to and detached from the file body. Regarding the formation of the communication hole, the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion may have different shapes. In short, the insertion portion passes through the hole portion on the fixed member side and is engaged by the engaging portion. It is sufficient that both hole portions are continuous so that the engagement with the combined member is possible.

  Here, the access to the communication hole in the binding tool fixing device can be made from either the inside or the outside of the file body. That is, when it is attached further inside the binding tool arranged inside the file body, the insertion portion is inserted in the order of the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, and the engagement portion provided in the insertion portion. Engages with the file body as the engaged member. When attached to the outside of the file, the insertion portion is inserted in the order of the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion, and the engaging portion provided in the insertion portion engages with the binding tool as the engaged member. . And in the state in which such an engagement state between the engagement portion and the engaged member is formed, the predetermined engagement release movement of the engagement portion is restricted by the movement of the lock member to the restriction movement position The fixed state between the binding tool and the file body is more reliably maintained.

  As described above, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, since the insertion of the insertion portion into the communication hole and the movement of the lock member to the movement restriction position are performed on one side of the file body, the user operability is significantly improved. By fixing the movement of the fixing device main body by the lock member, it is possible to more firmly fix the binding tool and the file main body. More preferably, the access to the communication hole should be performed from the side where the binding tool is installed, that is, from the inside of the file body. This is because the back cover part of the file body is often provided with a cover for the headline (usually a transparent resin cover etc. so as to be visible to the headline user). This is because it is often difficult for the user to perform an operation for attaching and detaching the binding tool.

Note that the engaging portion may be designed to engage with any portion of the engaged member. For example, when the binding tool fixing device is a mechanism that fixes by accessing from the inside of the file, and the file side hole is a through hole, the insertion part is inserted in the order of the binding tool side hole and then the file side hole. The engaging portion can be designed to engage with the file body in a state where the engaging portion reaches the outside of the file body. Further, in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the file side hole, the engaging portion may be engaged with the file main body in the middle portion of the file side hole. In summary, it is important that the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member by inserting the insertion portion from one side of the file body. Any location may be used as long as it is fixed to the file body. Therefore, the hole on the engaged member side does not have to be a through hole. For example, the file-side hole provided with a recess and an engaged space with the engagement provided in communication with the recess. It can also be applied to a file body provided with.

  Here, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, the fixing device main body has a fixing device base and a movable member movable relative to the fixing device base, and the fixing device base and the movable member are relatively moved. By moving, a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement may be performed. At this time, when the engaging portion reaches the engaging position by the predetermined engagement movement of the movable member and the fixed device base, the engagement portion forms an engaged state with the engaged member, and the predetermined movement engagement of the movable member and the fixed device base is established. When the disengagement position is reached by a predetermined disengagement movement in the direction opposite to the movement, the engagement state with the engaged member is released. Then, in a state where the engaging portion has reached the engaging position by the predetermined engaging movement of the movable member and the fixing device base, the locking member reaches the predetermined movement restriction position, so that the predetermined engagement between the movable member and the fixing device base is achieved. Release movement is restricted.

  That is, in order to establish the engagement state between the engagement portion and the engaged member and the release thereof, the movable member moves relative to the fixing device base between the engagement position and the engagement release position. This movement forms the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement. In this specification, this movement by the movable member is also referred to as “relative movement”. Then, the user who wants to fix the binding tool and the file main body inserts the insertion portion of the binding tool fixing device into the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion from one side of the file main body, and further, the predetermined portion of the relative movement is determined. Engagement movement only needs to be performed, and the work imposed on the user is extremely simple, and in addition to the effect of movement restriction by the lock member, a strong binding tool can be fixed by the engagement portion.

  Here, the configuration of the insertion portion may be configured such that a pair of insertion portions are inserted into one communication hole. By providing the engaging portion in each of the pair of insertion portions, it is possible to fix the binding tool and the file body stronger. At this time, one insertion portion constituting the pair of insertion portions is provided in the fixing device base portion, and the other insertion portion is provided in the movable member movable relative to the fixing device base portion, so that the user can move the movable member. Thus, it is possible to form and release the engaged state of the engaging portion. Moreover, a pair of insertion part may be attached | subjected to each of a fixing device base and a movable member, and may be attached | subjected only to one side. Further, three or more insertion portions may be provided for the fixing device base, and an arbitrary set of them may be defined as a pair of insertion portions.

  As an example of a binding tool fixing device having such a pair of insertion portions, a binding tool fixing device shown below can be cited. It is a binding tool fixing device for fixing the binding tool on the file main body using a fixing hole provided in a binding tool for binding documents and the like and a file side hole provided in the file main body. A fixing device base provided with a fixing device base, a movable member that is movable relative to the base, and a file main body provided in the fixing device main body. From the inside, it is provided in at least one of a pair of insertion portions and a pair of insertion portions that are sequentially inserted into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, and can engage with and release the file body. And a locking member capable of restricting relative movement between the fixing device base and the movable member. Then, when the movable member and the fixing device base are relatively moved by a user operation, the pair of insertion portions contact each other in the file side hole, and the engaging portion is connected to the movable member by a user operation. When the fixing device base reaches the engagement position by relative movement, an engagement state with the file body is formed, and the movable member and the fixing device base are relatively moved in the opposite direction to the movement to the engagement position. When the disengagement position is reached by the movement, the engagement state with the file body is released, and the lock member is moved by the user operation in a state where the movable member and the fixing device base have reached the engagement position by the relative movement. The relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base is restricted by reaching a predetermined movement restriction position from the inside of the file body.

Moreover, the following form is mentioned as an example of a locking member. For example, the lock member is connected to at least one of the movable member and the fixing device base, and is relatively movable with respect to the connected movable member or the fixing device base. When the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the engagement movement, a gap corresponding to a predetermined movement restriction position is formed between the movable member and the fixing device main body, and the lock member closes the gap by the relative movement. Thus, the predetermined disengagement movement between the movable member and the fixing device base may be limited. Further, the relative movement of the lock member relative to the movable member or the fixing device base may be connected so that the lock member can be rotated. That is, the lock member is connected to at least one of the movable member and the fixed device base via the hinge connection portion, and the movable member or the fixed device base is rotated by the hinge connection portion with respect to the connected movable member or the fixed device base. When the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the movable member and the fixing device base, it corresponds to a predetermined movement restriction position between the movable member and the fixing device main body. A gap may be formed, and the lock member may block the gap by rotational movement, thereby restricting the predetermined engagement release movement of the movable member and the fixing device base. Furthermore, as another form, a form of a lock member connected to the movable member so as to be capable of linear relative movement or the like can also be adopted. Furthermore, the lock member may be separated from the movable member and configured as an independent member. Even in such a case, the independent lock member is set so as to reach the gap from one side of the file body and close it.

  In this way, if the lock member closes the gap formed between the fixing device base and the movable member in the engaged state, the two members move relative to each other only by moving the lock member to the gap, that is, the predetermined value is set. The disengagement movement can be made impossible, so that the engaged state can be maintained. That is, for example, there is no need to screw or fix the fixing device base and the movable member with an adhesive, and both the members are moved relative to the engagement position to form the gap, and the lock member is inserted into the gap. It is possible to provide a fixing device with extremely good attachment and detachment work that requires only the operation of fitting.

  Further, if the lock member is connected to the fixing device base and / or the movable member even in the disengaged state, the lock member is lost or there is no need to search for the lock member for the fixing device. . Since this fixing device is mainly used for attaching and detaching the file main body and the binding tool in the file, the user attaches and detaches after a long time after purchasing the file. Also, after the file main body and the binding tool are once separated, a detachment operation may be performed after a while (for example, after obtaining a replacement file main body). In such a case, if the lock member is separable from the fixing device, the lock member may not be found when performing the operation of attaching the binding tool to the file body again, and the attachment operation may not be completed. If configured as described above, such a problem is eliminated, and the attachment / detachment operation can be surely performed at any time.

  Since the locking device is positioned so as to close the gap generated in the engagement state due to the relative movement between the fixing device base and the movable member and the relative position relationship between the two is maintained, the relative positional relationship between the two is extremely reliably maintained. The For example, when the relative movement of both members is restricted by screwing or the like, there is a case where the two members are rattling even if they are screwed together strongly. Naturally, if the screw is loosened, the rattling becomes very large. On the other hand, when the file body and the binding tool are fixed only by access from one side of the binding tool side (file inner side) or the file outer side as in this configuration, the weight of the document etc. As a result, a force for releasing the engagement with the file main body acts on the engaging portion, so that the engaging portion may be easily broken or the engaging portion may be easily detached from the file side hole or the like. For this reason, the practical use of the conventional configuration has been hindered, and this problem has become extremely serious particularly when there is such a backlash. According to this configuration, the locking member prevents the relative movement of the engaging portion from the engaged state to the disengaged state (predetermined disengagement movement). Therefore, it contributes to the practical use of a fixing mechanism for attaching and detaching the binding tool only by accessing from one side of the file inside or the outside thereof.

  Here, when the gap is not blocked by relative movement, the lock member is exposed to the outside of the gap when the fixing device base and the movable member are fixed. With this configuration, it may be displayed to the user that the predetermined disengagement movement of the movable member and the fixing device base is not restricted. According to this, since the user can recognize that the lock member is exposed to the outside of the gap, is the predetermined disengagement movement that is a relative movement of the movable member and the fixing device main body limited? It is possible to make the user easily recognize whether or not. Therefore, the user can expect to reliably guide the lock member to the gap in the attaching / detaching operation, and can realize the reliable clamping of the file main body and the binding tool by the fixing device even though the user performs the attaching / detaching operation. In particular, in the mechanism that attaches and detaches by accessing only from one side of the file as in this fixing device, there is a problem that the engaging portion can be easily detached from the file side hole as described above. If the movable member and the movable member are not securely arranged at the engagement position, the holding force between the file body and the binding tool by the fixing device cannot be expected, and the binding tool on which the document or the like is bound is dropped from the file body. Or the like may be scattered, or the fixing device (especially the engaging portion) may be damaged and become unusable. By adopting this configuration, such a problem can be reliably prevented.

  Further, the lock member is an operation plate portion for the user to rotate and move, and has an operation plate portion that can rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge connection portion. When the gap is not closed, the operation plate portion may stand on the fixing device main body portion to display to the user that the predetermined disengagement movement of the movable member and the fixing device base is not restricted. According to this, when the operation plate portion operated when the user rotates and moves the lock member stands up on the fixing device main body when the lock member does not block the gap, the state of the lock member is checked. It is possible to make the user easily recognize whether or not the predetermined engagement release movement, which is the relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device main body, is restricted more easily.

  The movable member has an operation unit for allowing the user to perform a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement, which are relative movements of the movable member and the fixing device base, and the lock member is rotated by the user. An operation plate portion that is rotatable about the rotation axis of the hinge connection portion, and the operation plate portion reaches the gap by the rotational movement of the lock member, and the movable member and When the predetermined disengagement movement of the fixing device base is restricted, at least a part of the operation unit may be covered. According to this, when performing the relative movement operation of the movable member and the fixing device main body where the operation condition is that the lock member is not in the gap, the movement operation is performed if the lock member has reached the gap. Since the operation part touching the screen is covered with the operation plate part, the user can easily recognize that it is necessary to release the lock by the lock member before performing the relative movement operation.

  The operation unit has a hole that allows a user to place a finger on the movable member and the fixing device main body to move relative to each other, and the operation plate unit reaches the gap by the rotational movement of the lock member. When the predetermined disengagement movement between the movable member and the fixing device base is restricted, at least a part of the hole on which the user puts his / her finger may be covered. When the lock member reaches the gap, the hole on which the user puts his / her finger is covered with the operation plate portion, so that the user can easily release the lock by the lock member before performing the relative movement. It becomes possible to recognize.

Here, in the binding device fixing apparatus described above, preferably, in a state where the engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged member is released, the insertion portion is a communication composed of the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. The hole can be inserted from the inside or outside of the file body, and can be extracted from the inside or outside of the file body. The operability by the user of the binding device fixing device according to the present invention is improved by interlocking the disengaged state of the engaging portion with the state in which the inserting portion can be inserted and removed. In particular,
In the binding tool fixing device, since the binding tool is fixed by accessing only from one of the inside and the outside of the file main body, the improvement in workability greatly contributes to the user's profit.

  Here, in the binding device fixing device having the movable member described above, when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the engagement position, the first relative position relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is maintained. The maintenance unit and / or a second maintenance unit that maintains the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the disengagement position. It may be. By having the first maintenance part, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the movable member in the engagement position and the fixing device base. As a result, it is possible to smoothly form the file body holding state by the engagement of the engaging portions without being affected by the posture of the binding tool fixing device during the fixing operation of the user. In particular, the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the first maintenance part is useful in order to maintain the gap formed when the predetermined disengagement movement is to be restricted using the lock member.

  Moreover, it becomes possible to maintain the relative positional relationship of the movable member in a disengagement position, and a fixing device main base by having a 2nd maintenance part. As a result, since the relative positional relationship of the insertion portion provided with the engagement portion is maintained without being affected by the posture of the binding tool fixing device during the fixing operation of the user, the file side hole It is possible to smoothly insert and remove the insertion portion from the portion and the fixing hole. This is particularly useful when the insertion portion is formed as a pair of insertion portions as described above. In the binding device fixing device according to the present invention, the first maintenance unit and the second maintenance unit are not necessarily provided at the same time, and one of the necessary maintenance units is provided in consideration of the user's needs. Good.

  And about the structure of a 1st maintenance part and a 2nd maintenance part, the example shown next is given. For example, one of the movable member and the fixing device base has a maintenance groove formed along the direction of relative movement, and a protrusion that divides the maintenance groove into two maintenance regions. Any one of the movable member and the fixing device base, which does not have the maintenance groove and the projection, is formed along the direction of relative movement, and passes over the projection to be in any of the two maintenance areas. The first retaining part is housed in one of the two maintenance regions, so that the movable member and the fixing device base reach the engaged position. The relative position relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is maintained, and the second maintaining portion is configured such that the protrusion is accommodated in the other of the two maintaining regions, so that the movable member and the fixing device base are Relative position between the movable member and the fixing device base when It is also possible to maintain the relationship.

  That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the maintenance groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixing device base and the projection provided on the other side, the projection in the maintenance groove is first maintained. The relative movement of the movable member and the fixing device base is performed by setting the boundary between the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the portion and the switching of the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the second maintenance portion. Thereby, the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the 1st maintenance part and the 2nd maintenance part is realized because a projection part is settled in either of the maintenance fields divided into two.

Further, in the binding device fixing device having the movable member up to the above, when the engagement portion reaches the engagement release position, a release time maintenance portion that maintains a relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixation device base, When the engaging part is at a position out of the disengagement position, the movable member and the fixed member are fixed so that the movable member and the fixing device base are allowed to move relative to each other within a predetermined movement range. You may make it further provide the relative movement allowance part which forms the relative positional relationship with an apparatus base. By having the release maintaining portion in this way, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the movable member at the disengagement position and the fixing device base, as in the case of the second maintaining portion. In addition, by having the relative movement allowing portion, when the engaging portion is at a position out of the disengagement position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is not maintained, and the relative movement between the two is not possible. Permissible. Therefore, a user who intends to fix a binding tool using a binding tool fixing device having a movable member and a fixing device base immediately touches the binding tool fixing device, and the relative position between the movable member and the fixing device base is determined. It can be easily determined whether or not the relationship is at the disengagement position. If necessary, the movable member and the fixing device base are moved relative to each other so as to be positioned at the disengagement position, so that the binding of the binding device to the file body can be realized smoothly.

  And about the structure of the maintenance part at the time of cancellation | release, and a relative movement permission part, the example shown next is given. For example, any one of the movable member and the fixing device base has a groove formed along the direction of relative movement, and a first protrusion that divides the groove into two regions, and the movable member and Any one of the fixing device bases that does not have the maintenance groove and the projection is formed along the direction of relative movement, and is over the first projection and fits in either of the two regions. The movable member and the fixing device when the engagement portion reaches the disengagement position by having the protrusion and the release-time maintaining portion is housed in one of the two regions. Maintaining a relative positional relationship with the main body portion, the relative movement allowing portion accommodates the second protrusion in the other of the two regions, and allows the second protrusion to move in the other region. By doing so, the movable member and the fixing device base can move relative to each other within a predetermined movement range. It may be present.

  That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixing device base and the second protrusion provided on the other side of the movable member and the fixing device base, the first in the groove Relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base is performed by using the protrusion as a boundary between maintaining the relative positional relationship by the maintenance unit at the time of release and switching the relative movement permission by the relative movement permission unit. As a result, the second protrusion is within one of the two regions, so that the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base can be maintained and the relative movement within a limited predetermined range can be achieved. It is possible.

  In the binding tool fixing device having the movable member up to the above, the binding tool is in contact with the inner side or the outer side of the file side, and the base member on which the movable member and the fixing device main body are disposed, and the base member A protrusion that extends along the direction of relative movement between the movable member and the fixed device base, and is provided on at least one of the movable member and the fixed device base. You may make it further provide the movement recessed part which fits and moves on this protrusion part at the time of relative movement.

  The movable member of the fixing device main body is disposed on the base member of the binding tool, and the insertion portion is inserted into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion and the relative movement thereafter is performed. Here, the projecting portion provided on one of the movable member and the fixing device base and the moving recess provided on the other of the movable member and the fixing device base are fitted, and in relative movement, The moving concave portion can move on the protruding portion. That is, the projecting portion is configured to play a role as a guide for relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base, and as a result, the user can smoothly engage and release the engaging portion. It becomes possible. Further, when the movable member and the fixing device base are arranged on the binding tool, the fitting between the moving concave portion and the protruding portion is useful for positioning the arrangement location. That is, the movable member and the fixing device base can be reliably guided to the engaging position (the locking portion), and the relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base arranged at the engaging position by the lock member is further increased. In order to reliably regulate the positional relationship, the fixing device can exert the maximum force in spite of the attachment / detachment work by the user.

Further, in the binding tool fixing device having the movable member described above, the movable member moves relative to the movable member and the fixing device base in a state where the fixing device main body is disposed inside the file main body. For this purpose, the movable member has an operation part for operating the movable member and an obstructed part provided in the vicinity of the operation part. When the distance between the engagement position and the disengagement position reaches the close position in the vicinity of the end portion of the fixing device base portion in the vicinity of the end portion of the fixing device base portion, It may be configured to have an inhibition part that reaches the position overlapping with the part and can inhibit the displacement via the inhibited part against the upward displacement of the movable member.

  In the above-described binding tool fixing device, when the operation unit of the movable member is brought into a proximity state in relative movement, the inhibited portion and the inhibition unit inhibit each other against the upward displacement of the movable member. Thus, for a user who operates the operating unit for relative movement, forcibly operating the movable member and the fixing device base upward is limited by the presence of the inhibited part and the inhibiting part. It becomes possible to make it known explicitly. That is, when the movable member and the fixing device base are in the engaged position or the disengaged position, when the user attempts to forcibly move them upward, the inhibited part comes into contact with the inhibited part. Through the movement, the user knows that the forced relative movement is not appropriate. As a result, the user can be guided to an operation for appropriate relative movement. Moreover, you may comprise so that an inhibition part may not only prevent the movement to the said direction of the to-be-inhibited part side but to prevent. If comprised in this way, it can prevent that the force applied to the incorrect direction from the user exerts a bad influence on a movable member.

  And about the said to-be-inhibited part and the inhibition part, the example shown next is given. For example, the operation part of the movable member is provided at the end of the movable member that does not contact the fixing device base, the movable member is provided adjacent to the operation part, and the inhibition part is fixed. You may make it provide in the edge part which opposes a movable member among the edge parts of an apparatus base. The specific configuration of each part is not limited to this form, and preferably is provided in a place where it does not affect the relative movement of the movable member and the fixing device base, and the user can easily know its presence. .

  Here, in the binding device fixing device having the movable member described above, the movable member is a member that performs a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement along the upper surface of the fixing device base, and is a part of the fixing device base. May cover a part of the upper surface of the movable member to limit the upward displacement of the movable member. That is, the movable member and the fixing device base are configured to overlap each other above the binding device fixing device different from the direction of relative movement, so that the movable member and the fixing device base are positioned above by a user operation for relative movement. It is possible to prevent the movable member from warping and to promote relative movement more smoothly. That is, such overlapping of the movable member and the fixing device base greatly contributes to improvement of user workability. In this state where the engagement portion is securely engaged, this state is securely held by the lock member having the above effects, so that the file main body can be connected to the file main body only by accessing from one side of the file. The fixing device that holds the binding tool can be put into practical use.

  And about the overlap of the said movable member and a fixing device main base, the following example is given. For example, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, the movable member has a notch in a part of the side along the direction of relative movement, and the fixing device base portion includes the movable member. A moving recess for accommodating the movable member for moving the upper surface of the main body, and a protruding piece protruding into the moving recess, the protruding piece being configured so that the movable member is the moving recess. In the state of being housed in the notch, so as to cover a part of the upper surface of the movable member and displace the inside of the notch according to the relative movement. Good. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize the relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base and the overlapping of the movable member and the fixing device base above the binding fixing device.

Here, in the binding tool fixing device having the movable member described above, the movable member has a first positioning protrusion on the back surface in contact with the binding tool, and the fixing device base is second on the back surface in contact with the binding tool. When the fixing device base is disposed on the binding tool, the first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion are accommodated in the positioning hole provided in the binding tool, When the first positioning projection and the second positioning projection come into contact with the edge of the positioning hole by a general movement, the movable member and the fixing device base may be positioned at the disengagement position.

  That is, in the binding tool fixing device, the movable member that performs relative movement and the fixing device base are provided with positioning protrusions (first positioning protrusion and second positioning protrusion), respectively. The relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is determined by the contact relationship with the positioning hole on the binding tool side. In particular, the first positioning projection and the second positioning projection are in contact with the positioning hole, so that the relative movement operation is restricted. As a result, the position of the movable member and the fixing device base is the disengagement position. Will be automatically specified in the middle. This disengagement position is also a position where the user wants to insert / remove the insertion portion into / from the communication hole including the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. Therefore, when the positions of the movable member and the fixing device base are automatically specified by the first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion as described above, the user can perform the insertion and extraction operations relatively easily. Can be broken.

  Further, in the binding device fixing device described above, the fixing device main body portion is positioned so as to position the relative position of the fixing device main body portion with respect to the binding device when the engaging portion is in a state in which the engagement with the file main body is released. You may make it have a part. That is, even in the binding device fixing device that engages and releases the engaging portion by an operation other than the relative movement, for the same reason as described above, the engagement by each engaging portion is released. A positioning unit that positions the relative position of the fixing device main body with respect to the binding tool is useful.

  Further, the direction of the predetermined engagement movement and the direction of the predetermined engagement release movement of the fixing device main body may be a direction along the surface of the file main body. By making the relative movement direction along the surface of the file main body, the engagement portion can be engaged with the file main body.

  Preferably, the file side hole is provided in the spine portion of the file main body, and the direction in which the movable member moves relative to the fixing device base is a direction along the vertical direction of the spine portion. When a user binds a document or the like to a binding tool, one of the possibilities that a strong external force acts on the fixing portion of the binding tool to the file body is that the file in which the document or the like is bound is The case where it falls to the floor etc. is considered. When taking into account such a drop configuration, the external force acting by the drop is reliably received by the engaging portion, thereby maintaining the fixing state of the binding tool to the file body and avoiding the damage of the binding tool fixing device. Is possible.

  In addition, when the insertion portion is formed as a pair of insertion portions, the insertion portions are inserted into one file side hole portion, each provided with an engagement portion, and the engagement direction by each engagement portion is different from each other. Good. A binding tool fixing device for fixing the binding tool on the file main body using a fixing hole provided in the binding tool for binding documents and the like and a file side hole provided in the file main body. A fixing device main body disposed inside or outside the file main body, and provided in the fixing device main body, and in order from the inner or outer side of the file main body to the fixing hole and the file side hole. A pair of insertion portions to be inserted, and a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion which are provided in each of the pair of insertion portions and can be engaged with and released from the engaged member. The first engagement direction, which is the engagement direction of the engaged member engaged by the first engagement portion, is the second engagement direction of the engaged member engaged by the second engagement portion. It may be set different from the engagement direction.

In the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention, a pair of insertion parts may be inserted into the file side hole provided in the file body and the fixing hole provided on the binding tool side. Then, in the inserted state, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion provided in each insertion portion can be engaged with and released from the file main body and the binding tool that are the engaged members. Placed in a state. When these engaging portions are engaged with the engaged member, the binding tool and the file main body are fixed by the engaging portion and the fixing device main body portion of the binding fixing device. When the engaged state is released and the engaged state is released, the binding between the binding tool and the file body is released. As a result, the binding tool can be freely attached to and detached from the file body.

  Here, the binding tool fixing device can access the file side hole and the fixing hole from either the inside or the outside of the file body. That is, the user inserts a pair of insertion portions into the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion from the inside or the outside of the file body, and then engages the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion with the file body. Can be done. Thereby, the user operability is significantly improved. Then, the first holding direction and the second holding direction, which are the holding directions of the file main body due to the engagement of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, are set different from each other, so that the engaging portion Sufficiently resists the external force to release the engagement, and the binding tool can be securely fixed by the file body. In particular, in a file for binding documents or the like, an external force may be applied from various directions depending on the use state of the user. Therefore, a fixing device having a plurality of different holding directions such as the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention. By configuring as above, it is possible to sufficiently secure the fixed strength of a file as a practical product.

  Here, in the binding tool fixing device described above, the binding tool fixing device is further provided between the fixing device base portion and the engaging portion along the insertion direction of the insertion portion into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. The positioning plane portion is provided, and the positioning plane portion is provided in the file-side positioning hole portion provided in the file main body and the binding tool in the engaged state between the engaging portion and the engaged member. You may comprise so that it may insert in a binding tool side positioning hole part.

  That is, in the binding tool fixing device, a positioning flat surface portion is provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion in addition to the insertion portion. Since the positioning flat surface portion is inserted into the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion in the engaged state of the engaging portion, in the process where the engaging portion reaches the engaged state, It fulfills the function of positioning the engaging portion. In particular, when the movable member is constituted by a slide member, if the positioning flat surface portion is inserted into the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion according to relative movement, It will perform the positioning function in movement. In particular, it is preferable to determine the relative positional relationship of the positioning flat surface portion with respect to the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion in order to perform positioning in a direction crossing the relative movement direction.

  In the above-described binding tool fixing device, the fixing device is provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion along the insertion direction of the inserting portion into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, and the engaging portion is engaged. In this state, there may be provided an insertion portion side fitting portion that fits with the binding tool side fitted portion communicating with the fixing hole portion and positions the relative position between the binding tool fixing device and the binding tool. .

  Further, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, the insertion portion is formed by a pair of insertion portions, and a first engagement portion capable of engaging with and releasing the engagement member from each of the pair of insertion portions, and When the second engagement portion is provided, the insertion portion is provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engagement portion along the insertion direction of the insertion portion into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. When it is in the combined state, it is fitted with a binding tool side fitted portion communicating with the fixing hole portion, and includes an insertion portion side fitting portion that positions a relative position between the binding tool fixing device and the binding tool, The first holding direction that is the holding direction of the file main body engaged by the first engaging portion is set to be different from the second holding direction that is the holding direction of the file main body engaged by the second engaging portion. It may be a thing.

  Moreover, in the said binding tool fixing device, an insertion part side fitting part fits with a binding tool side to-be-fitted part in the engagement state of an engaging part. In other words, the insertion portion side fitting portion is inserted into the binding tool side fitting portion in the engaged state of the engaging portion, and the relative position in a direction different from the holding direction by the engaging portion in the file body is defined. It will be in the state. Therefore, the insertion portion side fitting portion fulfills the function of positioning the engaging portion in the process of reaching the engaged state.

  The binding tool side fitted portion serves as a guide when the insertion portion side fitting portion relatively moves from the engagement release position to the engagement position. For this reason, the engaging portion can be arranged at an optimal position in the engaged state. In addition, the engaging portion is arranged so that the engaging portion is arranged in addition to the optimal position (position assumed by the designer; generally, the position where the optimum (maximum) holding force is exerted by the fixing device). Even when trying to move, the portion that is not the binding tool side mating portion hinders the movement, so the position of the engaging portion in the file body becomes other than the above, and the engaging force by the fixing device is assumed by the user. The risk of continuing to use in a weakened state can be made extremely low.

  The contact area between the binding tool fixing device and the binding tool is increased by the side surface of the insertion part side fitting part being in contact with the binding tool side fitted part. Thereby, the load of the contact part of a binding tool fixing device and a binding tool is distributed.

  The insertion portion side fitting portion may be in contact with a file side fitted portion communicating with the file side hole portion in addition to the binding tool side fitted portion. As a result, it is possible to position not only the binding tool but also the file body.

  If the position of the binding tool fixing device cannot be accurately determined, there is a concern that the binding tool fixing device and the binding tool come into contact with each other. When the degree of contact is strong, the binding tool fixing device comes into contact with a function of binding a document or the like of the binding tool (for example, an opening / closing mechanism of a holding mechanism of a pipe portion that binds the document or the like), and the function is There is also a risk that it will not be able to be demonstrated. However, according to the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention, the position of the binding tool fixing device is determined by the insertion portion side fitting portion, so that the binding tool fixing device contacts the binding tool, and binds documents and the like by the binding tool. Inhibition of function can be prevented.

  In addition to the positioning function described above, the insertion portion side fitting portion also has a function of defining the position and a function of holding the position. The function for defining the position is a function for defining the position with respect to the binding tool or the file body, and the function for maintaining the position is a function for holding the state where the binding tool is fixed on the file body.

  Here, according to the binding tool fixing device, in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the binding device side hole portion and the file side hole portion, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion provided in each of the pair of insertion portions. An engaging part is arrange | positioned in the state which can be engaged with the to-be-engaged member, and its cancellation | release. When these engaging portions are engaged with the engaged member, the binding tool is held on the file main body by the engaging portion and the fixing device main body portion of the binding tool fixing device. When the engaged state is released, the holding state of the binding tool on the file body is released. As a result, the binding tool can be freely attached to and detached from the file body. Moreover, it becomes possible to perform positioning more correctly by providing the insertion part side fitting part in the engagement part which consists of a 1st engagement part and a 2nd engagement part.

  Further, the first holding direction and the second holding direction, which are the holding directions of the file main body due to the engagement of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, are set to be different from each other. This sufficiently resists an external force that attempts to release the engagement with the engaged member, and allows the binding tool and the file body to be more reliably fixed. In particular, in a file for binding documents or the like, an external force may be applied from various directions depending on the use state of the user. Therefore, a fixing device having a plurality of different holding directions such as the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention. By configuring as above, it is possible to sufficiently secure the fixed strength of a file as a practical product.

In addition, if a configuration in which two or more insertion portions are inserted into one file side hole portion and the engagement directions of the respective engagement portions are made different in this way, with respect to one engagement portion, Even when a force in a direction to release the engagement is applied, a force in a direction in which the engagement is strengthened is applied to an engagement portion in an engagement direction different from the engagement portion. The engagement force between the file main body and the fixing device (a pair of insertion portions) in the file side hole is equivalent to that in the normal state. Therefore, only a slight force is applied to the fixing mechanism for realizing the attachment / detachment of the binding tool and the file body by accessing only from one side to the file body that has been proposed in the past (in some cases, the document to be bound is bound. It is possible to solve the problem that hinders the practical use of such a mechanism that the engaging portion (insertion portion) falls out of the file side hole portion (by weight due to the like).

  Further, the pair of insertion portions may be chamfered at the corners of the tip portions in the direction of insertion with respect to the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. According to this, when the pair of insertion portions are inserted into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, even if the insertion portion comes into contact with them, the file body or the binding tool is damaged, or the insertion portion is damaged. It will be lost.

  A file including the above-described binding tool fixing device is also an aspect of the present invention. That is, the file according to the present invention is a file including the binding tool fixing device, the binding tool, and the file main body up to the above, and the fixing device main body portion and the engaged member of the file main body and the binding tool. A member sandwiched between them is a file to be fixed to the engaged member by a binding device fixing device as a fixed member. As described above, the file is formed by fixing the engaged member and the fixed member by the binding device fixing device, but may include configurations other than these configurations.

  The present invention can also be grasped from the side of a fixing method for fixing the binding tool to the file body. That is, the present invention uses the communication hole formed by overlapping the fixing hole provided in the binding tool for binding documents and the like and the file side hole provided in the file body, and uses the communication hole to form the binding tool and the file. A fixing method for fixing the main body with the first step of inserting the insertion portion into the communication hole from the inside or the outside of the file main body, and in a state where the fixing device main body portion is arranged in the file main body. A second step of moving the engaging portion that can be engaged with and disengaged from either the file main body or the binding tool provided in the portion and can be engaged with the engaged member. And a third step of restricting the movement of the engaging part to be disengaged by positioning the lock member at a predetermined movement restricting position in a state where the engaging part has reached the engaging position.

Further, the present invention may be a molding die for manufacturing a binding tool fixing device. That is, when the movable member and the fixing device base are relatively moved to be in one state, the locking member is connected to the connected member that is at least one of the movable member and the fixing device base via the hinge connection portion. A molding die for integrally molding the lock member and the connected member in the binding tool fixing device in which the state is maintained and the binding tool is held between the movable member and the fixing device base between the file body, The mold for molding may be a mold for molding the lock member in a state of being substantially perpendicular to the connected member when resin is injected. In addition, the lock member of the binding device fixing device according to any one of the above, having a lock member, is connected to the movable member and at least one of the fixing device main body portion via a non-connection member and the hinge connection portion. A molding die that is integrally molded so that, among the surfaces of the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state in which the rotational movement does not reach the gap, Of the first mold for forming the surface and the surfaces of the locking member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state that does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement, on the side opposite to the file body side A second mold for molding a surface, and the hinge is formed by injecting resin into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold. Connection It may be a mold for integrally molding with the non-connecting member connected state with the locking member by. The non-connecting member is any member connected to the lock member via the hinge connecting portion, and examples thereof include the movable member and the fixing device main body.

  When the lock member connected to the movable member or the fixed device main body via the hinge connection portion is integrally formed with the hinge connection portion and the movable member or the fixed device main body in one mold, the lock member is If it is integrally formed in a state where it is in contact with any one of the fixing device main body portions, the lock member will adhere to the movable member or the fixing device main body portion. Here, the molding surface of the mold is configured so that the lock member is not in contact with the movable member or the fixing device main body, in other words, the lock member is molded in the state where the lock member does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement. This makes it possible to prevent such adhesion. In this case, the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge when the first mold and the second mold are rotated by approximately 90 degrees from the state where the lock member reaches the gap. If each surface of the connecting portion is molded, the separation of the first mold and the second mold can be facilitated. Note that “approximately 90 degrees” means at least “approximately 0 degrees”, that is, a gap is formed between the both ends of the molded product, or it is necessary to provide a hinge connecting portion using a cutter or the like after molding. This means that it does not include molding at an angle that would cause at least a gap of the cutter blade, and the rotation direction of the lock member is 0 degree when the lock member is fitted in the gap. In general, the angle is 45 degrees or more, preferably 70 degrees or more, the upper limit is 180 degrees or less, generally 135 degrees or less, preferably 110 degrees or less, and is preferably formed at an angle in the vicinity of 90 degrees. . If the molding is performed at an angle in the vicinity of 90 degrees, there are advantages that two molds are sufficient and that it is easy to remove the mold.

  If resin casting is performed in a state of approximately 0 degrees, a gap corresponding to a mold is generated between the hinge-side end of the lock member and the hinge-side end of the connected member. Even if the hinge connecting portion is manufactured by a cutter or the like after the resin casting is performed without providing the hinge portion, and the lock member and the connected member are separated from each other, a gap corresponding to the scraped portion is generated in this process. Then, the lock member cannot function reliably / accurately. That is, in the fixing device formed in this way, a gap is formed between both end portions in a state of approximately 0 degrees, so that the fixing device base and the movable member are securely held in the engagement position (always engaged position). The engagement portion is displaced from the engagement position toward the engagement release position, and the engagement portion is likely to come off from the file side hole or the like. Occurs. Therefore, it is not possible to put to practical use / implement a mechanism for holding the file body and the binding tool only by accessing from one side of the file.

  On the other hand, when a product with a rotational movement of approximately 90 degrees is created as described above, when the lock member is rotationally moved to the connected member side via the hinge connection portion (rotated to fit in the gap). When it is moved), it is possible to eliminate a gap between the hinge connecting part side end of the lock member and the hinge connecting part side end of the connected member. Therefore, the fixing device base and the movable member can be reliably held at the engaging position (the engaging portion is not displaced from the engaging position / they do not rattle). Such a file fixing mechanism can be realized by reliably exerting the holding force.

  Further, the present invention may be a method for manufacturing a binding tool fixing device using the molding die. That is, a method for manufacturing a binding tool fixing device for manufacturing the lock member and the non-connecting member connected via the hinge connecting portion using the molding die, the first metal By injecting the resin into the mold formed by connecting the mold and the second mold, and separating the first mold and the second mold, A step of taking out the locking member and the non-connecting member connected by the non-connecting member formed in the mold.

  According to this, by injecting resin into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold, and then separating these molds, via the hinge connection portion It is possible to integrally form the lock member to be connected and the non-connect member. In this manufacturing method, for example, a heat-melted resin may be poured into a mold, and after the resin is cured by cooling, the mold may be separated and a molded product may be taken out.

  Further, the binding device fixing device according to the present invention is configured such that the fixing device main body portion moves toward and away from the file main body and the binding device stacked so as to form the communication hole, thereby moving the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement. In the fixing device in which the engagement / disengagement movements are respectively performed, the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member when the fixing device main body portion approaches the file main body and the binding tool and performs a predetermined engagement movement to reach the engagement position. When the fixing device main body part is separated from the file main body and the binding tool and performs a predetermined engagement releasing movement, the engagement state with the engaged member is established. And when the locking member reaches a predetermined movement restriction position in a state in which the engaging portion reaches the engaging position by the predetermined engaging movement of the fixing device main body, the predetermined engagement of the fixing device main body is achieved. It may be configured to restrict the release movement

  According to this, engagement with the engaged member by the engaging portion is realized only by moving the fixing device main body portion relative to the file main body portion and the binding tool. Then, by moving the lock member, the predetermined disengagement movement of the fixing device main body is restricted, and the binding tool and the file main body are fixed. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the work imposed on the user while simplifying the configuration of the binding tool fixing device.

  The locking member is connected to the fixing device main body via a hinge connecting portion, and can be rotated by the hinge connecting portion with respect to the connected movable member or the fixing device base. When the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the apparatus main body, a gap corresponding to a predetermined movement restriction position is formed between the fixing device main body, the file main body, and the binding tool, and the lock The predetermined disengagement movement of the fixing device main body may be limited by closing the gap by rotating the member.

  According to this, since the lock by the lock member can be realized by an easy operation of turning, the work imposed on the user can be greatly simplified. In addition, when the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the fixing device main body portion, it corresponds to the predetermined movement restriction position formed between the fixing device main body portion, the file main body, and the binding tool. The gap to be formed is, for example, a gap provided in the file side hole, and formed between the inner wall of the file side hole and the insertion portion.

  In addition, since the locking object fixing device and the molding die according to the present invention have the following configurations, the engagement between the locking object and the locked object is performed on both sides of the locking object. It is substantially possible to complete only by access (operation) only from one side. In particular, even when being attached and detached by the user, it is a configuration that can withstand practical use in which a reliable engagement force can be obtained when the object to be locked is fixed.

Specifically, the first locking object fixing device according to the present invention uses a fixing hole provided in the locking object and a locked object side hole provided in the locked object. A locking object fixing device for fixing the locking object and the locked object, the fixing device main body disposed on the locked object, and the fixing device main body, The insertion portion inserted into the communication hole formed by overlapping the hole portion for the object and the locked object side hole portion, and the locked object and the locking target object when the insertion portion is inserted into the communication hole. A member on the back side in the insertion direction of the insertion portion is used as a member to be engaged, and the fixing device main body performs a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement in the insertion state of the insertion portion. An engagement portion provided in the insertion portion, which can be engaged and released. The fixing device main body is an operation unit for performing a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement of the fixing device main body by the user in a state where the fixing device main body is disposed on the locked object. When the user operates the operating portion to perform a predetermined engagement movement, the insertion portion is located in the hole on the side existing on the engaged member among the fixing hole and the locked object side hole. The engaging portion engages with the engaged member when the user operates the operating portion to perform a predetermined engaging movement.

  In the locked object fixing device according to the present invention, the locked object side hole provided on the locked object side and the fixing hole provided on the locked object side overlap to form a communication hole. The insertion part is inserted into the communication hole, or the insertion part is pulled out from the communication hole. In the state where the insertion portion is inserted, the engagement portion provided there is one of the objects to be locked and the locking target that is located on the back side in the insertion direction of the insertion portion (according to the present invention). The engaged member is moved to a state in which it can be engaged and released. In the present invention, the movement of the former engagement portion is referred to as a predetermined engagement movement, and the movement of the latter engagement portion is referred to as a predetermined engagement release movement. The directions related to these movements do not necessarily need to be directions that reciprocate on a straight line. However, in consideration of the convenience related to the operation of the engaging portion of the user, the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement are in a straight line. The directions are preferably opposite to each other. And when this engaging part will be in an engagement state with respect to a to-be-engaged member, the part to be locked or a locking target object will be decided by the engaging part and the fixing device main part of a locking target object fixing device. The one sandwiched between the two is sandwiched as a member to be fixed, and the object to be locked and the object to be locked are fixed. Further, when the engaged state is released and the engaged state is released, the fixed state between the locked object and the locked object is released. As a result, the locking object can be freely attached to and detached from the locked object. Regarding the formation of the communication hole, the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion may have different shapes. In short, the insertion portion passes through the hole portion on the fixed member side and is engaged by the engaging portion. It is sufficient that both hole portions are continuous so that the engagement with the combined member is possible.

  Access to the communication hole in the locking object fixing device is possible from either one of both sides sandwiching the locked object. That is, in the case of being attached further inside the locking object arranged on one side of the locked object, the insertion portion is inserted in the order of the fixing hole portion and the locked object side hole portion, The engaging part provided in the part engages with the locked object as the engaged member. When the object is attached to the other side of the locked object, the insertion part is inserted in the order of the locked object side hole and the fixing hole, and the engaging part provided in the insertion part is engaged. Engages with a locking object as a member. Thereby, the user operability is significantly improved.

  Note that the engaging portion may be designed to engage with any portion of the engaged member. For example, when the locking target object fixing device is a mechanism for fixing by accessing from one side of the locked object, when the locked object side hole is a through hole, the insertion portion is the locking target object. It can be designed to be inserted in the order of the side hole and the locked object side hole, and to engage with the locked object in a state where the engaging part reaches the other side of the locked object. Further, in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the non-locking object side hole, the engaging portion may be engaged with the locked object in the middle portion of the locked object side hole. In summary, it is important that the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member from the one side of the locked object. As long as a stop target object is fixed to a to-be-latched object, any location may be sufficient. Therefore, the hole on the engaged member side does not have to be a through hole. For example, an object to be locked provided with a recessed portion and a space to be engaged with the engaging portion provided in communication with the recessed portion. It can also be applied to an object to be locked provided with a side hole.

Here, in the locking object fixing device, the fixing device main body includes a fixing device base and a movable member movable relative to the fixing device base, and the fixing device base and the movable member. May be configured to perform a predetermined engagement movement and a predetermined engagement release movement by relatively moving. At this time, when the engagement portion reaches the engagement position by the predetermined engagement movement of the movable member and the fixing device base, the engagement portion forms an engagement state with the engaged member, and the predetermined engagement between the movable member and the fixing device base is established. When the disengaged position is reached by a predetermined disengagement movement in the direction opposite to the combined movement, the engaged state with the engaged member is released.

  That is, in order to establish the engagement state between the engagement portion and the engaged member and the release thereof, the movable member moves relative to the fixing device base between the engagement position and the engagement release position. This movement forms the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement. In this specification, this movement by the movable member is also referred to as “relative movement”. The user who wants to fix the object to be locked and the object to be locked can insert the insertion part of the locking object fixing device into the hole to be locked and the fixing hole from one side of the object to be locked. What is necessary is just to insert and to perform predetermined engagement movement among the said relative movements, and the operation | work imposed on a user becomes very simple.

  In the above-described locking target object fixing device, a member sandwiched between the fixing device main body part and the engaged member among the locked object and the locking target object is a fixed member, and is connected to the communication hole of the insertion portion. When the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member, the fixing hole portion and the locked object side hole portion are provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion along the insertion direction. The insertion part side fitting which fits with the 1st to-be-fitted part connected to the hole part of the side which exists on a to-be-fixed member among these, and positions the relative position of this locking target object fixing device and this to-be-fixed member The unit may be further provided.

  Moreover, you may make it further provide the flat plate part provided between a fixing device main-body part and an engaging part along the insertion direction to the communicating hole of an insertion part. At this time, when a member to be sandwiched between the fixing device main body portion and the engaged member among the locked object and the locking target object is a fixed member, the fixing hole and the locked object side hole The hole on the side of the fixed member that is on the fixed member is provided with a first storage portion that communicates with the hole and stores the flat plate portion. The hole on the side existing on the engaging member is provided with a second storage portion that communicates with the hole and stores the flat plate portion, and when the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged member. The flat plate portion is configured to come into contact with at least one of the first storage portion and the second storage portion when a vertical impact force applied to at least the flat plate portion is applied to the engaging portion.

  In the above configuration, the insertion portion side fitting portion is fitted to the first fitted portion in the engaged state of the engaging portion. About this fitting, not only the structure which the insertion part side fitting part and the 1st to-be-fitted part fit tightly, but the structure which fits loosely is accept | permitted. Here, the first fitted portion is a hole on the side existing on the locking object or the locked object corresponding to the fixed member among the fixing hole and the locked object side hole. Communicating, in other words, provided on a member to be fixed that is located closer to the fixing device main body (in some cases, disposed at a position where the fixing device main body contacts) when engaged by the engaging portion. It is what Therefore, when the engaging portion is engaged, if the insertion portion side fitting portion is inserted into the first fitted portion, the engaging portion of the engaged member is locked independently of the engaging direction by the engaging portion. The relative position between the object fixing device and the member to be fixed is defined. In other words, the insertion portion side fitting portion positions the relative position with respect to the fixed member in a direction (preferably a substantially orthogonal direction) different from an engagement direction by the engagement portion (an extending direction of the engagement portion with reference to the insertion portion). To do.

In such positioning, the insertion portion side fitting portion performs the function of positioning the engaging portion in the process of reaching the engaged state, while the first fitted portion is inserted into the insertion portion side fitting. It becomes a guide when the joint portion moves relative to the engagement position from the engagement release position. Therefore, the position of the locking object fixing device on the member to be fixed is always kept at a constant relative position, and at the same time, the engaging portion can be arranged at the optimum position in the engaged state. In addition, the engaging portion is arranged so that the engaging portion is disposed in addition to the optimum position (position assumed by the designer; generally, the position at which the optimum (maximum) engaging force is exerted by the fixing device). Even if it is attempted to move, the portion that is not the first fitted portion hinders the movement, that is, the first fitting portion forcibly guides the insertion portion side fitting portion. The risk that the user continues to use the joint in a state where the position of the joint becomes other than the optimum position and the engaging force by the fixing device becomes weaker than the assumed value can be made extremely low.

  Moreover, the contact area of a locking target object fixing device and a locking target object increases because the side surface of an insertion part side fitting part contacts the said 1st to-be-fitted part. Thereby, the load of the contact portion between the locking object fixing device and the locking object is distributed. The insertion portion side fitting portion includes, in addition to the first fitted portion, a hole portion on the side of the fixing member and the locked object side hole portion that exists on the engaged member. You may make it contact also with the 2nd to-be-fitted part connected to. Thereby, it becomes possible to position the position with respect to the locked object as well as the locked object.

  If the position of the locking target object fixing device cannot be determined accurately, there is a concern that the locking target object fixing device and the locking target object or the locked object will come into contact unnecessarily. And when the degree of contact is strong, there exists a possibility that the latching target object fixing device may contact the functional component part of a latching target object, and the said function cannot be exhibited. However, according to the locking object fixing device according to the present invention, the position of the locking object fixing device is determined with respect to the locking object and the locked object by the insertion portion side fitting portion. It is possible to prevent unnecessary contact with the object to be locked or the object to be locked by the object fixing device and inhibition of the function of binding the document or the like by the object to be locked.

  Moreover, it can be said that the insertion part side fitting part has the function which prescribes | regulates a position, and the function to hold | maintain a position in addition to the positioning function mentioned above. The function for defining the position is a function for defining the position with respect to the object to be locked or the object to be locked, and the function for holding the position holds a fixed state between the object to be locked and the object to be locked. It is a function.

  The second locking object fixing device according to the present invention uses a fixing hole provided in the locking object and a locked object side hole provided in the locked object. A locking object fixing device for fixing an object on an object to be locked, and a fixing device base and a movable member movable relative to the fixing device base disposed on the object to be locked. A fixing device main body having a pair of insertion portions, which are provided in each of the fixing device base and the movable member, and are inserted sequentially from above the locked object into the fixing hole and the locked object side hole; An engagement portion provided in the insertion portion and capable of engaging and releasing engagement with the locked object, and the engagement directions of the two engagement portions provided in the pair of insertion portions are different from each other, The movable member is relative to the fixing device main body by the user in a state where the fixing device main body is disposed on the locked object. And a pair of insertion portions that are inserted into the locked object side holes when the user operates the operation portion to move the movable member and the fixing device base relative to each other. The engaging portion is configured to engage with the object to be locked when the user operates the operation portion to move the movable member and the fixing device base relative to each other.

  In other words, in the locking object fixing device according to the present invention, the above-described insertion portion is formed as a pair of insertion portions provided on each of the fixing device base and the movable member, and the engagement portion is a pair of insertion portions. Each engaging portion can be engaged with and released from the engaged member, and the engaging directions of the engaging portions are different from each other. Further, the movable member is provided with an operation portion, and the pair of insertion portions are fixed to the fixing hole portion and the locked portion when the user operates the operation portion to move the movable member and the fixing device base to a predetermined engagement. Each of the object side holes is in contact with a hole on the side of the member to be engaged, and each of the engaging parts is operated by the user to operate the operating part so that the movable member and the fixing device base are engaged with each other. And the engaged member.

By adopting this configuration, the pair of engaging portions inserted into one communication hole are directed in different engaging directions, so that the direction in which the engaging force is weakened with respect to one engaging portion (engaging Even when a force is applied in the direction in which the portion is disengaged from the engaged member, the force is stronger in the direction in which the engaging force is applied to the other engaging portion (the engaging portion is stronger than the engaged member). Will work in the direction of engagement). Therefore, there is a problem that the conventional mechanism that enables the attachment / detachment by accessing only from one side has not been put into practical use, which is a slight force (in some cases, the weight of the fixing device itself or the weight of the object to be locked). This prevents the engaging portion from being easily separated from the engaged member. In other words, the engagement between the locking object fixing device and the locked object in one locked object side hole is always extremely strong, and the locking is practically performed only from one side. The object and the locked object are fixed.

  Further, the direction of the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement of the movable member by the fixing device base may be a direction along the surface of the engaged member. By making the two relative movement directions along the surface of the engaged member, the engaging portion can be engaged with the engaged member.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device up to the above, preferably, in a state where the engagement of the engaging portion with the engaged member is released, the insertion portion is locked to the communication hole. It can be inserted from above and can be extracted from the object to be locked. In the disengaged state of the engaging portion, the engaging portion is not obstructed by the fixing hole portion or the locked object side hole portion (without being caught), and the insertion portion can be freely inserted and extracted. If the fixing device main body is brought into the disengaged state, it can be extracted without being conscious of anything from the locked object side, and the operability for the user is improved. In particular, since the locking object fixing device performs the fixing operation of the locking object by accessing from only one side of the locked object, the improvement in workability greatly contributes to the user's profit.

  Here, in the locking target object fixing device described above, the movable member is a member that slides relative to the fixing device base, and the movable member and the fixing device base are moved relative to each other through a predetermined engagement movement. When the engagement position is reached, the engagement portion is engaged with the member to be engaged, and the movable member and the fixing device base are opposite to the slide that reaches the engagement position through a predetermined disengagement movement. The engagement state with the engaged member by the engagement portion may be released when the engagement release position is reached by relative sliding.

  By configuring the movable member with the slide member in this manner, the user performs a slide operation of the slide member, thereby forming and releasing the engagement state of the engagement portion. Here, in order to establish the engagement state and the release thereof, the slide member is slid relative to the fixing device base between the engagement position and the engagement release position, and the slide by the slide member is moved. In this specification, it is also simply referred to as “relative slide”. The predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement are included in the relative slide. Therefore, the user who wants to fix the object to be locked and the object to be locked needs to insert the pair of insertion portions of the locking object fixing device into the communication hole and further perform the relative sliding, which is imposed on the user. The operation to be performed is extremely simple, and a firm fixation of the object to be locked by the engaging portion is realized. That is, in the locking target object fixing device on which the user performs the attaching / detaching work, the fixing device main body cannot be reliably guided to the engaged state unless the operability by the user is increased (the operation is easy to understand). Unbearable for practical use. If this configuration is adopted, the user can use the insertion portion of the fixing device main body portion that has been slid and moved to the disengaged state in the communication hole while the communication hole is formed by overlapping the locked object and the locking object. By simply inserting and sliding the fixing device main body into the engaged state (predetermined engagement movement), the fixing is completed. Any user can easily fix the fixing. When removing the object to be locked, simply perform a simple operation opposite to the above (with respect to slide movement, slide movement (predetermined disengagement movement) whose direction is opposite to the direction of the slide movement described above is performed. It is possible to perform complete separation without the parts of the locking object fixing device remaining on the locked object or the locking object.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device having the slide member, when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the engagement position through the predetermined engagement movement by the relative slide, the relative slide is performed. A lock member that restricts relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device base and locks the movable member may be provided by reaching a predetermined slide restriction position from the side to be closed.

  As described above, the object to be locked and the object to be locked are fixed by engaging the engaging portion by performing relative sliding. Here, in order to more reliably maintain the engagement of the engagement portion, the lock member is provided, and the operation of the lock member can be easily performed by the user as in the case of insertion of the insertion portion and relative sliding. In consideration of the characteristics, it is performed by the user's access from one side of the locked object that performs the slide operation of the slide member. Specifically, by causing the lock member to reach a predetermined slide restriction position that restricts the relative slide, the relative slide of the slide member is restricted, so that the holding by the engagement of the engaging portion is prevented. It will be maintained reliably.

  As the locking mechanism, when the movable member and the fixing device base are arranged at the engaging position, a predetermined gap is formed by both, and the locking member is fitted into the gap to close the movable member. And a mechanism that prevents the fixing device base from moving to a disengaged position by performing a predetermined disengagement movement. According to this mechanism, since the lock member can completely prevent the movable member and the fixing device base from transitioning from the engaged state to the disengaged state, the engaged state can be maintained extremely reliably. For example, in some cases, such as screwing that may cause looseness, the engaged state may not be maintained. Then, as described above, when the engaging portion is arranged at a position that is not expected as much as possible, the engaging portion becomes very easy to be removed from the communication hole, and not only the engaged state is released, but also in some cases. The engaging portion or the like may be damaged. This configuration can prevent such a problem very effectively.

  The following form is mentioned as an example of such a locking member. For example, the lock member is connected to at least one of the movable member and the fixing device main body via a hinge connection portion, and the connected movable member or the fixed member is connected in a region on the locked object. When the movable member and the fixed device main body reach the engagement position by relative sliding with respect to the device main body by the hinge connecting portion, the movable member is closed by closing the gap. You may make it restrict | limit the relative slide of a member and this fixing device main body. In addition, when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the engagement position, a predetermined gap is formed between them, and the lock member closes the gap so that the movable member and the fixing device base are connected. You may comprise as a member which cannot move to a disengagement position. In addition to the configuration in which the lock member is connected so as to be able to rotate and move with respect to the slide member, the form of the lock member connected to the slide member so as to be capable of linear relative movement, etc. Can also be adopted. If the lock member is always connected to the fixing device main body in this way, the risk of the user losing the lock member can be eliminated, and the user can select the optimum lock member during the detachment operation. You can avoid doing work. In particular, in a locked object fixing device that is not frequently attached and detached, there is a very high possibility that these problems will occur. It becomes the latching target object fixing device which can endure. As another form different from the above, the lock member may be separated from the slide member and configured as an independent member.

  Here, when the lock member does not block the gap, the lock member itself is exposed to the outside of the gap to indicate to the user that the relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device base is not restricted. You may make it do. According to this, since it is possible for the user to recognize that the lock member is exposed outside the gap, it is easy for the user to determine whether relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device base is restricted. It can be recognized. In the locking target object fixing device as described above, the locking portion may be disengaged as if the complete engagement state is not maintained, so it is necessary for the user to reliably bring the locking member to the gap. is there. On the other hand, according to this configuration, since the user can intuitively and very easily understand whether or not the lock member has reached the gap, it is possible to maintain a reliable engagement state.

  In addition, the lock member has an operation plate portion that can be rotated about the rotation axis of the hinge connection portion. When the lock member does not block the gap, the operation plate portion is the fixing device main body portion. By standing up, it may be displayed to the user that relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device base is not restricted. According to this, since the operation plate portion that is operated when the user rotates the lock member stands up on the fixing device main body when the lock member does not block the gap, the movable member and the fixing device base portion can be easily arranged. It is possible to make the user easily recognize whether or not the relative slide is restricted.

  In addition, the lock member is an operation plate portion for a user to rotate and has an operation plate portion that can rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge connection portion, and the operation plate portion is a lock member. When the relative movement of the movable member and the fixing device base is restricted by reaching the gap by the rotational movement and closing the gap, at least part of the operation unit on the fixing device main body side is covered. Also good. According to this, when performing the relative movement operation between the movable member and the fixing device base where the operation condition is that the lock member is not in the gap, the slide operation is performed if the lock member has reached the gap. Since the operation part to be touched by the user is covered with the operation plate part on the lock member side, the user can easily recognize that it is necessary to unlock the lock member before performing the relative slide operation. It becomes possible to do.

  More specifically, the operation unit has a hole that allows the user to place a finger to slide the movable member and the fixing device main body relative to each other. When the relative slide between the movable member and the fixing device main body is restricted by reaching and closing the gap, at least a part of the hole on which the user puts a finger may be covered. When the lock member reaches the gap, the hole on which the user puts his / her finger is covered with the operation plate portion, so that the user can easily release the lock by the lock member before performing the relative sliding movement. Can be recognized.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device having the slide member described above, when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the engaging position through the predetermined engaging movement, the movable member and the fixing device base And / or the movable member and the fixing device main body when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the disengagement position via a predetermined disengagement movement. You may make it further provide the 2nd maintenance part which maintains the relative positional relationship of these.

  By having the first maintenance part, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the movable member in the engagement position and the fixing device base. As a result, it is possible to smoothly form the held state of the locked object by the engagement of the engaging portion without being affected by the posture of the locking target object fixing device during the fixing work of the user. In particular, the first maintaining portion functions effectively when maintaining the gap until the locking by the locking member is completed after both the members are arranged at the locking position.

  Moreover, it becomes possible to maintain the relative positional relationship of the movable member in a disengagement position, and a fixing device base by having a 2nd maintenance part. As a result, the relative positional relationship of the insertion portion provided with the engaging portion with respect to the fixing device main body can be maintained without being affected by the posture or the like of the locking target object fixing device during the fixing operation of the user. Thus, it is possible to smoothly insert and remove the insertion portion from the communication hole. In particular, when the engaging part / insertion part is configured to be able to be inserted and removed without being obstructed by a hole provided in the object to be locked or the object to be locked in the disengaged state, it is further configured as described above. If the disengaged state can be maintained by this, it is very easy to insert and remove from the communicating hole of the locking object fixing device.

And about the structure of a 1st maintenance part and a 2nd maintenance part, the example shown next is given. For example, one of the movable member and the fixing device base has a maintenance groove formed along the sliding direction of the relative slide, and a projection that divides the maintenance groove into two maintenance regions. Any one of the movable member and the fixing device base, which does not have the maintenance groove and the projection, is formed along the sliding direction of the relative slide, and overcomes the projection to form two maintenance regions. The first maintaining part has an accommodating projection that fits in either case, and the movable projecting part and the fixing device base reach the engaged position by accommodating the accommodating projection in one of the two maintenance areas. The relative position relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is maintained, and the second maintaining portion is configured such that the storage protrusion is accommodated in the other of the two maintenance regions, so that the movable member and the fixing device base are And the movable member and the It may be to maintain the relative positional relationship between the constant apparatus.

  That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the maintenance groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixing device base and the storage projection provided on the other side, the protrusion in the maintenance groove is first By making the boundary between the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the maintenance unit and the switching of the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the second maintenance unit relative sliding of the movable member and the fixing device base (predetermined engagement movement and predetermined engagement release movement) ) Is performed. Accordingly, the relative position relationship between the first maintenance unit and the second maintenance unit can be maintained by accommodating the storage protrusion in any one of the two maintenance regions.

  Further, in the locking object fixing device having the slide member described above, when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the disengagement position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is maintained. When the release maintaining portion, the movable member, and the fixing device base are out of the disengagement position, relative movement in which the movable member and the fixing device base are limited within a predetermined movement range is allowed. As described above, a relative movement allowing portion that forms a relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base may be further provided. By having the release maintaining portion in this way, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the first slide member and the second slide member in the disengagement position as in the case of the second maintenance portion. Become. In addition, when the movable member and the fixing device base are in a position out of the disengagement position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is not maintained by having the relative movement allowing portion. Relative sliding is allowed. For this reason, a user who wants to fix an object to be locked using a locking object fixing device having a movable member and a fixing device base is fixed to the movable member as soon as the user touches the locking object fixing device. It is possible to easily determine whether or not the relative positional relationship with the device base is in the disengagement position. Then, if necessary, the movable member and the fixing device base are relatively slid (predetermined engagement movement) to position the movable member and the fixing device base at the disengagement position, thereby smoothly fixing the object to be locked to the locked object. Can be realized.

  And about the structure of the maintenance part at the time of cancellation | release, and a relative movement permission part, the example shown next is given. For example, any one of the movable member and the fixing device base includes a groove formed along the slide direction of the relative slide (the direction of the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement), and the groove is divided into two regions. One of the movable member and the fixing device base, which does not have the maintenance groove and the projection, has a relative sliding direction (predetermined engagement movement and predetermined engagement). A second projecting portion that extends over the first projecting portion and fits in either of the two regions. The movable member and the fixing device base are maintained in the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base when the movable member and the fixing device base reach the disengagement position. The second protrusion is accommodated in the other of the two regions, and the second protrusion Of that it allows the movement in said other region, may be a fixed device base and movable member for implementing relative movement restriction state within a predetermined moving range.

That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixing device base and the second protrusion provided on the other side of the movable member and the fixing device base, the first in the groove By using the protrusion as a boundary between the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the maintenance unit at the time of release and the switching of the relative movement permission by the relative movement permission unit, the relative slide between the movable member and the fixing device base (the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined movement) Disengagement movement) is performed. As a result, the second protrusion is within one of the two regions, so that the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base can be maintained and the relative movement within a limited predetermined range can be achieved. It is possible.

  Further, in the locking target object fixing device having the slide member described above, a guide portion for assisting relative movement between the movable member and the fixing device base is provided on a surface of the locking target object that contacts the fixing device main body. The fixing device main body further guides the predetermined engagement movement and the predetermined engagement release movement between the locking position and the locking release position by the movable member and the fixing device base in a state of being fitted to the guide portion. You may make it provide the guided part for doing.

  According to such a configuration, the user can move the fixing device main body to the engagement release position and the engagement position very easily and reliably. Therefore, although the user performs the attaching / detaching work, the fixing can be performed reliably and the workability can be made extremely good.

  As a more specific configuration example, for example, an object to be locked is provided on a base member that is in contact with one side of the object to be locked, and on which the movable member and the fixing device base are arranged. A projecting portion (e.g., an elongated projecting portion) extending along the sliding direction of the relative slide between the movable member and the fixing device base, and at least one of the movable member and the fixing device base A slide recess may be further provided that fits into the protrusion and slides on the protrusion during relative sliding.

  The slide member of the fixing device main body is disposed on the base member of the object to be locked, and the insertion of the insertion portion described above into the communication hole and the subsequent relative sliding are performed. Here, the elongated protrusion provided on one of the movable member and the fixing device base and the slide recess provided on the other of the movable member and the fixing device base are fitted with each other, and in relative sliding The slide recess can slide on the elongated protrusion. That is, the elongated protrusion is configured to serve as a guide for relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device base, and as a result, the user can smoothly engage and release the engaging portion. Is possible. In addition, when the movable member and the fixing device base are arranged on the object to be locked, the fitting between the slide concave portion and the elongated protrusion is useful for positioning the arrangement location.

  In the locking object fixing device having the slide member up to the above, the movable member has an obstructed portion in the vicinity of the operation portion of the movable member, and the fixing device base is connected to the movable member in relative sliding. When the movable member and the fixing device base reach either the engaging position or the disengaging position where the fixing device base is closest, the fixing device base overlaps the inhibited portion above the inhibited portion. You may have the inhibition part which reaches the position and can inhibit (suppress / prevent) via the inhibition part with respect to the upward displacement of the first slide member. The movable member may be a member that slides on the fixed device base, and the fixed device main body may be further provided with a baffle member that prevents the movable member from being displaced upward from the fixed device base.

In the configuration in which the movable member and the fixed device base are slid, the user originally uses the operation unit provided on the movable member (here, the member that slides above the fixed device base) to slide. Where it must be, the user may accidentally try to move it up. Depending on such an operation, not only the attachment / detachment operation cannot be performed, but also the fixing device main body may be broken. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a baffle member to hinder (block) this operation. Note that this operation may be disturbed (inhibited) so that the user can be aware that the operation is incorrect. That is, in the above-described locking target object fixing device, the inhibited part and the blocking part are in contact with each other above the locking target object fixing device in a state where the movable member and the fixing device base part are closest to each other in relative sliding. For the user who operates the operation unit for relative sliding, forcibly operating the movable member and the fixing device base upward is a contact between both (disturbance / inhibition). It is possible to explicitly notify that it is restricted by That is, when the movable member and the fixing device base are closest to each other, if the user attempts to forcibly move them upward, the inhibited part and the inhibiting part come into contact with each other. The user knows that the forced upward relative movement is not appropriate. As a result, the user can be guided to an operation for an appropriate relative slide. Of course, even in this configuration, the inhibited part and the inhibiting part may “disturb / prevent” the above-mentioned operation by the user.

  And about the said to-be-inhibited part and the inhibition part, the example shown next is given. For example, the operation portion of the movable member is the end portion of the movable member that is farther from the fixing device base (the fixing device main body when the surface area of the fixing device main body is maximized by the slide movement) And the obstructed portion is provided adjacent to the operation portion, and the obstructing portion is the movable member among the end portions of the fixing device base portion. You may make it provide in the edge part which opposes. It should be noted that the specific configuration of the inhibited part and the inhibiting part is not limited to this form, and preferably is provided in a place where it does not affect the relative slide of both slide members and the user can easily know the presence. It is done.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device having the slide member described above, the movable member performs relative sliding along the upper surface of the fixing device base, and a part of the fixing device base is on the upper surface of the movable member. A part of the movable member may be covered to restrict the upward displacement of the movable member. That is, the movable member and the fixing device base are configured to overlap each other above the locking target object fixing device that is different from the sliding direction of the relative slide, so that the upper side is operated by a user operation for relative sliding. It is possible to prevent the slide member located in the position from being warped up and to promote relative sliding more smoothly. That is, such overlapping of the movable member and the fixing device base greatly contributes to improvement of user workability. In addition, if the movable member is warped in this way, the locking claw of the insertion portion connected to the member may not be properly engaged with the locked object. Can be prevented.

  And about the overlap of the said movable member and a fixing device main body, the following example is given. For example, in the above-described locking object fixing device, the movable member has a notch in a part of the side along the sliding direction of the relative slide, and the fixing device base is configured such that the movable member is And a projecting piece projecting into the slide recess, the projecting piece being in a state where the movable member is housed in the slide recess. By being housed in the notch, the upper surface of the movable member may be partially covered, and the inside of the notch may be freely displaced according to relative sliding. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a relative slide between the movable member and the fixing device base and an overlap between the movable member and the fixing device base above the locking object fixing device.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device having the slide member described above, the movable member has a first positioning protrusion on the back surface in contact with the locking object, and the fixing device base is connected to the locking object. When the movable member and the fixing device base are disposed on the object to be locked, the first positioning protrusion is formed in the positioning hole provided on the object to be locked. When the first positioning projection and the second positioning projection come into contact with the edge of the positioning hole by the relative slide, the movable member and the fixing device base are engaged. You may comprise so that it may be located in a cancellation | release position.

That is, in the locking object fixing device, positioning movable projections (first positioning projections and second positioning projections) are provided on the movable member that performs relative sliding and the fixing device base, respectively. The relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device base is determined by the contact relationship between the portion and the positioning hole on the locked object side. In particular, when the first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion are in contact with the positioning hole, the relative sliding operation (predetermined engagement movement and / or predetermined engagement release movement) is restricted, and as a result, The position of the movable member and the fixing device base is automatically specified halfway to the disengagement position. This disengagement position is also a position where the user wants to remove the pair of insertion portions from the communication hole. Therefore, the positions of the movable member and the fixing device base in the disengaged state with respect to the object to be locked / the object to be locked are automatically specified / determined by the first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion as described above. Thus, since the locking portion can be prevented from being caught by the engaged object side hole portion, the above-described extraction operation of the user can be performed relatively easily. At this time, if the positioning of the object to be locked and the object to be locked is performed, for example, by providing a positioning hole on one side and a positioning convex on the other side, the fixing hole and the locked object Since the side holes communicate with each other and the formation of the communication holes can be maintained, the locking part / insertion part can be extracted more easily.

  It should be noted that the above-described projecting portion and hole portion have the opposite relationship, that is, the same effect as described above can be obtained even if a hole portion is provided on the fixing device main body side and a convex portion is provided on the locking object side. One of the two protrusions may be provided on the fixing device main body side, the other may be provided on the locking object side, and a hole may be provided on the side facing each other. Further, even if both protrusions are disposed in one hole, the same effect as described above can be obtained. That is, on each of the surface of the movable member that contacts the locking object and the surface of the fixing device base that contacts the locking object, and the surface of the locking object that contacts the fixing device main body. Positioning holes are provided, positioning protrusions are provided on the other side, the positioning protrusions are configured to be received in the corresponding positioning holes, and the movable member and the fixing device base In the predetermined disengagement movement, when each positioning projection comes into contact with the edge of the positioning hole, the movable member and the fixing device base may be configured to be defined at an unlocking position. . As a result, the positioning protrusion is disposed in the positioning hole when the fixing device is disposed, and a predetermined disengagement movement is performed from a state where the engaging portion and the engaged member are engaged. When the positioning projection comes into contact with the edge of the positioning hole, the insertion portion of the insertion portion with respect to the locking object or the locked object where the communication hole is located is arranged so that the insertion portion can be extracted from the communication hole. A relative position is defined.

  Further, in the locking object fixing device described above, when the engaging device main body portion is in a state where the engaging portion is disengaged from the engaged member, the insertion portion is extracted from the communication hole. You may make it have a positioning part which positions the relative position of the insertion part with respect to at least one of a latching target object and a to-be-latched object so that it may become free. That is, even in the locking object fixing device that engages and releases the engaging portion by an operation other than relative sliding, the engagement by the engaging portion is released for the same reason as described above. Thus, a positioning part for positioning the relative position of the fixing device main body part to the locking object is useful.

  Here, in the locking object fixing device described above, a planar portion extending between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion along the insertion direction of the insertion portion into the communication hole, The surface portion of the part further includes a positioning flat part formed along the sliding direction of the relative slide, and the engaging part engages with the object to be locked by the relative sliding. When the state is reached, the positioning flat part is inserted into the locked object side positioning hole part communicating with the fixing through part and the locked object side positioning hole part communicating with the locked object side hole part, You may comprise so that it may become.

That is, in the locking object fixing device, a positioning flat surface portion is provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion in addition to the insertion portion. Since the positioning flat portion is inserted into the locked object side positioning hole and the locked object side positioning hole in the engaged state of the engaging portion, the engaging portion is in the engaged state. It fulfills the function of positioning the engaging part in the process leading to. In particular, when the movable member is configured by a slide member, the positioning flat surface portion is configured to be inserted into the locked object side positioning hole portion and the locked object side positioning hole portion according to relative sliding. Then, the positioning function in the relative slide is performed. In particular, in order to position the relative slide in a direction crossing the sliding direction, the relative positional relationship of the positioning plane portion with respect to the locked object side positioning hole and the locked object side positioning hole is determined. Is preferred.

  In the locking object fixing device, at least two opposing surface portions extending between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion along the insertion direction of the insertion portion into the communication hole are relative to each other. A flat portion formed along the sliding direction of the slide, and the flat portion is provided in each of the fixing hole portion and the locked object side hole portion at least in the locking position, and communicates with them. You may make it arrange | position in the position accommodated in the storage part for fixation which stores the said plane part to be performed, and the to-be-latched object side storage part.

  If comprised in this way, as above-mentioned, the relative position on the latching target object in directions other than an insertion direction of a latching | locking part / insertion part can be guide | induced to a reliable position, and this direction in an engagement state In addition to performing positioning in the case, when an impact force including the directional component is applied, the force is transmitted only between the insertion portion, the locking object, and the locked object. Can be distributed and transmitted. That is, when such impact force (usually assumed impact force due to falling of the locked object, etc.) is generated, the flat portion can be brought into contact with all or a part of the communication hole. With this configuration, it is possible to disperse and transmit the impact force. Therefore, breakage or the like of the locking object fixing device / locked object / locking object can be prevented, and the engagement state by the locking object fixing device can be maintained.

  Next, the third locking object fixing device according to the present invention uses a fixing hole provided in the locking object and a locked object side hole provided in the locked object. The locking object fixing device for fixing the locking object and the locked object, wherein the locking object fixing device is formed by overlapping the fixing hole and the locked object side hole. A fixing device main body having an insertion portion provided with a locking portion that is inserted into the formed communication hole, engages with the locking object, and fixes the locking object and the locked object. The fixing portion and the locked portion provided in communication with each of the fixing hole portion and the locked object side hole portion in a state where the locking target object and the locked object are engaged. The flat portion is configured to be stored in the object-side storage portion and capable of contacting at least one of the fixing storage portion and the locked-object-side storage portion when an impact occurs. Even with this configuration, the above-described operations and effects can be achieved, and the conventional technique is to lock the object to be locked and the object to be locked only by accessing from one side of the object to be locked. In a configuration in which a very large load is applied to the portion and the insertion portion, the configuration can be maintained and the fixed state can be maintained well.

  Further, the locking object and the locked object are fixed using the fixing hole provided in the locking object and the locked object side hole provided in the locked object. The locking object fixing device is inserted into a communication hole formed by overlapping a fixing hole and a locked object side hole, and engages with the locking object. A fixing device main body portion having an insertion portion provided with a locking portion for fixing the locking object and the locked object, and the locking portion engages the locking object and the locked object. In this state, a flat portion may be provided that is stored in a fixing storage portion that is provided in communication with the fixing hole portion and configured to come into contact with the fixing storage portion when an impact occurs. . Even with this configuration, the same operational effects as described above can be obtained.

  Moreover, the corner | angular part of the front-end | tip part of the direction inserted with respect to the said fixing hole part and the said to-be-latched object side hole part may be chamfered. According to this, when the insertion portion is inserted into the fixing hole portion and the locked object side hole portion, even if the insertion portion comes into contact with these, the locked object or the locking object is damaged, Or the insertion part is not damaged.

  In addition, the present invention can also be grasped from the side of a fixing method for fixing an object to be locked to an object to be locked. That is, the present invention uses the fixing hole provided in the locking object and the locked object side hole provided in the locked object, and uses the locking object and the locked object. A movable member provided in the fixing device main body portion, and the insertion portion provided in the movable member movable relative to the fixing device main body portion is inserted into one of the objects to be locked. From the side, the first step of sequentially inserting into the communication hole formed by overlapping the fixing hole and the locked object side hole, and the fixing device main body is arranged on one side of the locked object In this state, the user operates an operation portion provided on the movable member to move relative to the fixing device main body portion, and is provided at the insertion portion, so that engagement with the engaged member and release of the engagement are performed. A second step of engaging a possible engaging portion with the engaged member.

  Further, the present invention may be a molding die for manufacturing a locking object fixing device. That is, the locking member of the locking object fixing device according to any one of the above having a locking member is connected to the non-connecting member that is at least one of the movable member and the fixing device main body via the hinge connecting portion. A molding die that is integrally molded as described above, and the locked member among the surfaces of the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state that does not reach the gap by the rotational movement Among the surfaces of the first mold for molding the object-side surface and the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state that does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement, the locked object A second mold for molding a surface opposite to the side, and a resin is injected into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold The hinge connection part And said locking member and more the non-connecting member connected state may be integrally molded. The non-connecting member is any member connected to the lock member via the hinge connecting portion, and examples thereof include the movable member and the fixing device main body.

  When the lock member connected to the movable member or the fixing device main body via the hinge connecting portion is integrally formed with the hinge connecting portion and the movable member or the fixing device main body in one mold, the locking member is moved to the movable member or the fixing device. If it is integrally molded while in contact with any of the main bodies, the lock member will adhere to the movable member or the fixing device main body. Here, by forming the molding surface of the mold so that the lock member is not in contact with the movable member or the fixing device main body, in other words, the lock member is molded in a state where the lock member does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement. It becomes possible to prevent such adhesions. In this case, the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge when the first mold and the second mold are rotated by approximately 90 degrees from the state where the lock member reaches the gap. If each surface of the connecting portion is molded, the separation of the first mold and the second mold can be facilitated.

A molding die for producing a connected member that is at least one of a movable member provided with a lock member and a fixing device base, wherein the molding die is a hinge connection between the connected member and the lock member. The connected member created by a mold in which resin is injected and molded integrally in a state of being connected in a positional relationship of approximately 90 degrees through the portion is connected to the hinge connecting portion side end portion of the connected member and the hinge member of the lock member When the part-side end is locked (when the positional relationship is approximately 0 degrees / when the hinge connecting part is brought into the gap), no gap is generated between both ends. Therefore, the possibility of rattling when the lock member maintains the engaged state can be made extremely small. If the engagement state is shaken in the above-described detaching mechanism, the relative position of the locking claw will be displaced, and the locking claw will be easily detached from the locked object side hole or the like. However, according to the fixing device made of the above mold, the possibility of such rattling can be eliminated / extremely reduced. This greatly contributes to the feasibility of a fixing device that can be attached and detached by accessing only from the side. Note that “approximately 90 degrees” means at least “approximately 0 degrees”, that is, there is a need to provide a hinge connection portion using a cutter or the like after molding, or a gap is formed between the both ends of the molded product. This means that it does not include molding at an angle at which the gap is generated at least by the width of the cutter, and the rotation direction of the lock member is defined as 0 degree when the lock member is fitted in the gap. In general, the angle is 45 degrees or more, preferably 70 degrees or more, the upper limit is 180 degrees or less, generally 135 degrees or less, preferably 110 degrees or less, and is preferably molded at an extremely close angle of 90 degrees. . Molding at an angle close to 90 degrees has the advantage that only two molds are required and that it is easy to remove the mold.

  Further, the present invention may be a method for manufacturing a locking object fixing device using the molding die. That is, a manufacturing method of a locking object fixing device that manufactures the lock member and the non-connection member connected via the hinge connection portion using the molding die described above, Injecting the resin into the mold formed by connecting the second mold and the second mold, and separating the first mold and the second mold The step of taking out the lock member and the non-connecting member connected by the non-connecting member molded in the mold may be included.

  According to this, by injecting resin into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold, and then separating these molds, via the hinge connection portion It is possible to integrally mold the lock member to be connected and the non-connect member. In the present manufacturing method, for example, a heat-melted resin may be poured into a mold, and after the resin is cured by cooling, the mold may be separated and the molded product may be taken out.

  To provide a binding tool fixing device for a file, a binding tool fixing device, and a molding die that can detachably fix a binding tool for binding a document or the like only from one side of a file body. Can do.

  In addition, it is possible to provide a locking target object fixing device that can fix the locking target object detachably only by work from one side of both sides of the locked target object.

Therefore, the fixing device 1 according to the present invention is formed by combining the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 by utilizing elastic deformation of the resin, and the configuration of the fixing device 1 is shown in FIGS. Shown in 3B. Therefore, a combination procedure of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 will be described.

  First, the vertical frame 11 of the first slide member 10 is pulled outward in the vicinity of the penetrating region 15c to widen the vertical frame 11 slightly. In this state, the engaging claw 42 of the second slide member 30 is passed through the penetration region 15 c, and the slide protrusion 44 near the engaging claw 42 is in contact with the step portion 19 of the first slide member 10. Combine both slide members. At this time, the slide protrusion 13 of the first slide member 10 is accommodated in an area in the slide groove 32 of the second slide member 30. Thereafter, the engaging claw 43 of the second slide member 30 is inserted into the penetrating region 15 a of the first slide member 10, and the slide protrusion 45 in the vicinity of the engaging claw 43 is stepped on the first slide member 10. The both slide members are further combined so as to contact the portion 20.

  In the fixing device 1 in which the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 are combined in this way, the second slide member 30 is positioned on the lateral frames 14a to 14c of the first slide member 10 (FIG. 3B). Relative to the first slide member 10 in the slide space extending in the longitudinal direction of the first slide member 10, which is generally formed by the horizontal frames 14 a to 14 c and the upper vertical frame 12. It is possible to perform a slide (the above relative slide) (see FIG. 3A). At this time, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the second slide member 30 is sandwiched in the vertical direction by the horizontal frames 14 a to 14 c of the first slide member 10 and the slide protrusion 13. Relative sliding in the space can be performed smoothly. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the second slide member 30 has the slide protrusions 44 and 45 guided in the sliding direction by the step portions 19 and 20 of the first slide member 10. A smooth relative slide can be secured while suppressing separation of the member 30 and the first slide member 10.

Here, the engaging claws 22 and 23 provided on the first slide member 10 and the engaging claws 42 and 43 provided on the second slide member 30 have the same shape. Therefore, a specific configuration of each engagement claw will be described with the engagement claw 22 as a representative. As shown in FIG. 3B, the engaging claw 22 is (1) a plate-shaped insertion piece extending from the lateral frame 14 a of the first slide member 10 to the back side of the fixing device 1 and inserted as an insertion portion. A piece 22b, and (2) an engagement piece perpendicular to the insertion piece 22b and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first slide member 10 at the distal end portion of the insertion piece 22b, and an engagement piece as an engagement portion 22a, and (3) a plate-like member that stands vertically from the engagement piece 22a to the horizontal frame 14a, and the plate-like flat portion extends along the longitudinal direction of the first slide member 10. And it is a positioning piece orthogonal to the insertion piece 22b, and has a positioning piece 22c as a positioning flat plate portion. Further, as described above, the engaging claws other than the engaging claws 22 have the same configuration as the engaging claws 22, and reference numerals are not shown in the drawing, but the engaging claws 23, In each of 42 and 43, when an engagement piece, an insertion piece, and a positioning piece are indicated, a, b, and c are appended to the reference numbers of the respective engagement claws. The insertion pieces and the distal end portions of the engagement pieces respectively provided on the engagement claws 22, 23, 42, and 43 are tapered and chamfered, and these members are used for the file side engagement hole 86 and the file side engagement described later. When being inserted into the positioning hole 87, the holes and the engaging claws are prevented from coming into contact with each other and being damaged or deformed.

  In the engagement claw 22 configured as described above, when the engagement claw 22 is relatively approached in the direction of the binding tool 60 on which the engagement claw 22 is stacked and the file main body 80, the engagement piece 22a and the first slide member 10 (in particular, The binding tool 60 and the file main body 80 are accommodated between the horizontal frame 14a), and as a result, the engaging claw 22 engages the binding tool 60 and the file main body 80, thereby fixing the binding tool 60. Will do. Here, an opening portion between the engagement piece 22a and the first slide member 10 in the engagement claw 22 (a portion facing the insertion piece 22b) is referred to as an “opening portion” of the engagement claw 22, and the opening portion. The binding tool 60 or the like is accommodated toward the insertion piece 22b from the side, and the engagement direction (direction from the insertion piece 22b toward the opening) by the locking claw 22 when the binding tool 60 or the like is engaged is set in the present invention. This is defined as “holding direction / engagement direction”. Further, when the binding tool 60 or the like is engaged by the engagement claw 22, the positioning piece 22c guides the engagement claw 22 to a predetermined position where the engagement claw 22 should be engaged. The fixing of the binding tool 60 by the fixing device 1 will be described in detail later.

  Further, the engagement directions of the engagement claws 22 and 23 of the first slide member 10 are the same, and the engagement directions of the engagement claws 42 and 43 of the second slide member 30 are the same. The engaging direction of 23 is opposite to the engaging direction of the engaging claws 42 and 43. Then, in the fixing device 1, as shown in FIG. 3B, a pair of engagement claws are formed in a state where the engagement claws 23 and the engagement claws 42 are opposite to each other. A pair of engaging claws are formed in a state in which the claw 22 and the engaging claw 43 are opposite to each other.

  Here, in each pair of engaging claws, the distance between one engaging claw and the other engaging claw (more precisely, the interval between the insertion pieces of both engaging claws. ) Varies with relative sliding of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 (note that the state shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B shows the state where the distance between the claws is widest, which will be described later. Corresponds to “engaged state”). Then, in a state in which the distance between the engaging claws is widest, the lock members 36 and 37 provided on the second slide member 30 side are rotationally displaced, whereby a space formed between the engaging claws ( Hereinafter, a part or all of the lock members 36 and 37 enter the “insertion space.” As a result, the relative slide of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 is limited, The “state” will be maintained. Further, when it is desired to perform relative sliding again, the lock members 36 and 37 can be removed from the space formed between the engaging claws by rotationally displacing the lock members 36 and 37 in the opposite direction. .

Here, the detailed structure of the locking members 36 and 37 will be described with reference to FIG. 3A. Since the lock members 36 and 37 have the same configuration, only the lock member 36 will be described as a representative. The lock member 36 is a plate-like operation plate portion 36d that is hinged to the base portion 31 of the second slide member 30, and a plate-like member that stands vertically with respect to the operation plate portion 36d. The plate-like flat surface is a first plate portion 36a extending in the width direction of the base portion 31 and a plate-like member standing vertically to the operation plate portion 36d, and is formed with respect to the first plate portion 36a. Even with respect to the operation plate portion 36d, the second plate portion 36b and the first plate portion 36a that are orthogonal to each other are on the plate-like plane opposite to the connecting portion with the second plate portion 36b. And a semi-cylindrical contact portion 36c so as to be vertical. Further, as described above, the lock member 37 has the same configuration as that of the lock member 36, and reference numerals are not shown in the drawing. In this case, reference numerals 37a, 37b, 37c, and 37d are used as reference numbers. The functions of the lock members 36 and 37 will be described in detail later.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the fixing device 1 in which the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 are combined, the positioning protrusions 21 and 41 provided on the back side of each slide member are arranged adjacent to each other. Will be. As the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 slide relative to each other, the relative positional relationship between the positioning projection 21 and the positioning projection 41 changes. And these protrusion parts have the function which positions both slide members by displacing in the positioning hole part 64 by the side of the binding tool 60 as mentioned above, but this point is mentioned later.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, on the back side of the fixing device 1, the slide recess 24 of the first slide member 10 and the slide recess 46 of the second slide member have the same center axis and are aligned in a line. . As for these slide recesses, the relative positional relationship between the slide recess 24 and the slide recess 46 changes as the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 slide relative to each other.

  Here, in the fixing device 1, the state of the pair of engaging claws described above varies depending on the positions taken by both slide members by the relative sliding of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30, and as a result, By changing the engagement state of the binding tool 60 and the like via the respective engaging claws, the binding tool 60 is fixed or removed. Therefore, in order to help understanding of the structure of the fixing device 1 according to the present invention and the file using the same, first, the engagement state in the fixing device 1 is illustrated based on FIGS. 4A and 4B, and the disengagement state is illustrated.

A position taken by each slide member in the fixing device 1 in the engaged state is referred to as an “engagement position”. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the fixing device 1 is in the engaged state, a pair of engaging claws 22 and 23 on the first slide member 10 side and an engaging claw 43 on the second slide member 30 side are provided. , 42 are the most separated states (the distance between the claws is maximum). As a result, each engaging claw is engaged with the binding tool 60 or the like not shown in FIG. 4B, whereby the binding tool 60 is fixed to the file body 80. Further, the slide protrusion 13 of the first slide member 10 is accommodated in the divided region 32 a of the second slide member 30.

On the other hand, in the disengaged state of the fixing device 1, as shown in FIG. 5A, the operation unit 16 of the first slide member 10 and the operation unit 38 of the second slide member 30 are relatively separated from each other by relative sliding. The positional relationship, in other words, the second slide member 30 protrudes most from the slide space formed on the first slide member. A position taken by each slide member in the fixing device 1 in the disengaged state is referred to as an “engagement disengaged position”. As shown in FIG. 5B, when the fixing device 1 is in the disengaged state, the engaging claws 22 and 23 on the first slide member 10 side and the engaging claws on the second slide member 30 side are paired. 43 and 42 are in the closest state (distance between claws is the smallest). As a result, each engagement claw does not engage with the binding tool 60 or the like not shown in FIG. 4B (each engagement claw moves from the engagement position to the engagement release position, so that the engagement with the file body 80). Therefore, the fixing of the binding tool 60 to the file body 80 is released. Further, the slide protrusion 13 of the first slide member 10 is accommodated in the divided region 32 b of the second slide member 30.

It is in a state. Further, the state shown in FIG.
A view from the outside of 0 is shown in FIG. 8C. As shown in FIG. 8C, the file-side positioning hole 82 is fitted with the positioning claw 63 of the binding tool 60, and the two file-side engagement holes 86 are paired with the engagement claws. Each of 22, 43 and 23, 42 is just inserted, and the engagement claw and the file main body 80 are not engaged. Therefore, at this time, since the positioning pieces of the engaging claws are not fitted into the file side positioning hole 87, the file side positioning hole 87 is visually recognized from the outside of the file body 80 as shown in FIG. 8C. be able to.

  Then, by shifting the fixing device 1 from the disengaged state shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C to the engaged state shown in FIGS. 8D and 8E, the binding device 60 is fixed to the file body 80 by the fixing device 1. It will be. FIG. 8D shows a state in which the binding device 60 is fixed to the file main body 80 by engaging the fixing device 1 from the outside of the file main body 80, as in FIG. 8A. In the state shown in FIG. 8D, the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 constituting the fixing device 1 perform relative sliding, so that the distance between the claws of the pair of engaging claws is maximized. As a result, the overlapping binding tool 60 and the file main body 80 are sandwiched between the engagement pieces 22a, 23a, 42a, 43a of the respective engagement claws and the slide members 10, 30, and thus each engagement piece. Is engaged with the file body. When the fixing device 1 reaches the engaged state in this way, an insertion space for each lock member is formed between the pair of engaging claws as shown in FIG. 8D.

  Further, when the fixing device 1 reaches the engaged state, the positioning pieces 22c, 23c, 42c, and 43c of the respective engaging claws are the regions of the engaging hole portion 66 and the file side engaging hole portion 86 that are in an overlapped state. Therefore, it is inserted into the engagement positioning hole 67 and the file-side engagement positioning hole 87 which are in the same overlapped state. As a representative, the engaging claw 22 is shown in FIG. 9 in which the positioning piece 22c is inserted into the positioning hole 87 when engaged on the file side. Thus, the positioning piece 22c provided on the engaging claw 22 is inserted into the positioning hole 87 at the time of file-side engagement, so that the fixing device 1 overlaps when the fixing device 1 changes from the disengaged state to the engaged state. The fixing device 1 is always guided to a predetermined position with respect to the binding tool 60 and the file main body 80 in the closed state, and the file main body 80 and the engaging claws are engaged at the predetermined position. Can do. Therefore, fixing of the binding tool 60 by the fixing device 1 is performed stably and reliably. Also, with this configuration, the relative position of the fixing device 1 in a direction different from the engagement direction on the file back cover can be made constant. Furthermore, even when a force in a direction different from the engagement direction is applied to the fixing device 1, the contact area in the direction from the locking claw 22 to the binding tool 60 or the file body 80 is large, and thus the file body 80. Can be dispersed. In particular, since the file main body 80 is generally made of paper or the like, it may be damaged by the locking claw 22 when such a force is applied, and depending on the strength of the locking claw 22 or the like. Although the latching claw 22 may be damaged, it can be suitably prevented.

  8D shows a sectional view of the fixing device 1, the binding device 60, and the file main body 80 fixed in FIG. 8D, and a state when the fixed state is seen from the outside of the file main body 80 as in FIG. 8C. Is shown in FIG. 8F. In these states, an insertion space into which the corresponding lock members 37 and 36 are inserted is formed between the pair of engaging claws 22 and 43 and between the engaging claws 23 and 42, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8G, the first slide member 10 and the second slide in the fixing device 1 are inserted into the insertion space by rotating the lock members 37 and 36 around the hinge coupling portion as an axis. The relative slide of the member 30 is limited. Thereby, the state in which each engagement claw is engaged with the file main body 80 is maintained.

Here, based on FIG. 10A-FIG. 10C, the mode of the restriction | limiting of the said relative slide by the lock member 36 is demonstrated as a representative. FIG. 10A shows an enlarged view of the vicinity of the operation unit 38 on the second slide member 30 side in the fixing device 1 in the engaged state. An inclined portion 14d that is inclined toward the penetrating region 15c is provided along the horizontal frame 14c of the first frame member 10. The lock member 36 hinged to the second slide member 30 is provided with an inclined portion 36e formed so that the first plate portion 36a is chamfered along the edge of the first plate portion 36a. . Since the operation plate portion 36d of the lock member 36 rotates about the hinge coupling portion, as shown in FIG. 10A, the operation plate portion 36d stands up with respect to the fixing device 1 when the lock member 36 is not locked. The user can easily recognize that the vehicle is in the unlocked state.

  Therefore, in the fixing device 1 in the engaged state, the lock member 36 is rotationally moved so that the lock member 36 is inserted into a predetermined insertion space. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B which is a cross-sectional view of the state shown in FIG. 10A, the inclined portion 14d on the first slide member 10 side and the inclined portion 36e on the lock member 36 side come into contact with each other. The inclined surfaces of the two inclined portions are formed so that the lock member 36 is easily guided to the insertion space. Therefore, after the contact, the user applies a slight force to the lock member 36 to prompt the two inclined portions. However, elastic deformation occurs between the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30, and as a result, the lock member 36 is smoothly accommodated in the insertion space (the state shown in FIG. 10C). In the state shown in FIG. 10C, the contact portion 36 c of the lock member 36 is in contact with the insertion piece 23 b of the engagement claw 23 on the first slide member 10 side, and the second plate portion 36 b of the lock member 36. The tip end portion (the portion not connected to the first plate portion 36a and the opposite end portion of the first plate portion 36a) is in contact with the insertion piece 42b of the engaging claw 42 on the second slide member 30 side. It has become. That is, when the lock member 36 is fitted between the engagement claw 23 and the engagement claw 42, the relative movement of both the engagement claws, that is, the relative relationship between the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30. Limit slides. Further, the relative movement of the engaging claw 22 and the engaging claw 43 can also be restricted for the locking member 37 as in the case of the locking member 36. Since the operation plate portion 36d of the lock member 36 rotates about the hinge coupling portion, the operation plate portion 36d partially covers the hole of the operation portion 38 when the lock member 36 is in the locked state, as shown in FIG. 10C. When the operation unit 38 is slid, the user can easily recognize that it is necessary to turn the lock member 36 to the unlocked state.

  Here, based on FIG. 11, the shape of each engagement claw in the fixing device 1 will be described. In FIG. 11, the engaging claws 23 and the engaging claws 42 are representatively illustrated, but the same technical idea is applied to the engaging claws 22 and 43. When each engaging claw is engaged with the binding tool 60 and the file main body 80 as shown in FIGS. 8D to 8F, each engaging piece comes into contact with the file main body 80 and the like, and between each engaging piece and each slide member. Inclined portions 23a1 and 42a1 are provided at the distal end portions of the engaging pieces 23a and 42a of the engaging claws 23 and 42 that make a pair so that the file main body 80 and the like are smoothly sandwiched between them. This facilitates relative sliding of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 so as to shift from the state shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C to FIGS. 8D to 8F.

  In the fixing device 1 configured as described above, a pair of engaging claws 23 inserted into the overlapping engaging hole 66 of the binding tool 60 and the file side engaging hole 86 of the file main body 80 are paired. , 42 are in opposite directions to each other. In the present embodiment, when the file main body 80 is used as a reference, the engagement directions of the engaging claws 23 and 42 are opposite to each other in the vertical direction of the file main body 80. The same applies to the engaging claws 22 and 43 that make a pair.

In this way, the engagement directions of the engagement claws inserted into the overlapped one engagement hole 66 and file side engagement hole 86 are different from each other, and preferably opposite to each other. When an external force is applied to the fixed portion of the binding tool 60 due to dropping or the like, the engagement state of the binding tool 60 by the fixing device 1 can be satisfactorily maintained regardless of the direction of the external force. In the fixing device that can be attached to and detached from the file main body 80 only from one side, the engaging claw is deformed by a slight impact or the weight of the bound document etc. If this configuration is adopted, one engagement claw inserted into one file-side engagement hole will be used. Even if the above action works, the other engaging claw has the opposite action (tightening action / enhancing engagement action), so the "engagement force of the fixing device with respect to one file side engagement hole" is This is because it works well in any case. Therefore, the engagement directions of the engagement claws are preferably opposite to each other so that even if a force in the engagement release direction is applied to one, a force in the engagement strengthening direction is applied to the other. By engaging the file body 80 in opposite directions in the vertical direction of the file main body 80 as in the present embodiment, one engagement claw is used when the file is dropped during practical use, especially when leaning on a library or the like. The force in the disengagement direction is easily applied to the fixing device, and the conventionally proposed "technology that enables access to the file body of the binding tool only by one side access" causes the fixing device to fall off, thus preventing practical use. Since the problem of the cause can be solved and the degree of freedom in designing the size and shape of the engaging claws can be further increased, the fixing of the binding tool 60 to the file body 80 can be made more reliable. it can.

  Next, the function of the positioning projections 21 and 41 in the fixing device 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12A shows a state in which the relative relationship between the fixing device 1 and the binding tool 60 in the disengaged state is viewed from the outside of the file main body 80. 12C shows a state when the relative relationship between the fixing device 1 in the engaged state and the binding tool 60 is viewed from the outside of the file body 80. Further, FIG. 12B is shown in FIGS. 12A and 12C. The intermediate state of the state shown, ie, the state where the positions of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 in the fixing device 1 are intermediate positions between the engagement position and the engagement release position is shown. 12A to 12C, the file body 80 is described in a transparent state by a two-dot chain line.

  Here, when the fixing device 1 is in the disengaged state, as shown in FIG. 12A, the positioning projection 21 is positioned with respect to the positioning projections 21 and 41 accommodated in the positioning hole 64 of the binding tool 60. The first slide member 10 and the second slide member 10 forming the disengaged state are in contact with the upper side 64 a of the hole 64 and the positioning protrusion 41 is in contact with the lower side 64 b of the positioning hole 64. The relative position of the slide member 30 with respect to the binding tool 60 is uniquely determined. At this time, the pair of engaging claws 22 and 43 and the engaging claws 23 and 42 are not in contact with the corresponding engaging hole portions 66 and the like.

  As described above, when the fixing device 1 is released from the engagement state due to the correlation between the positioning protrusions 21 and 41 on the fixing device 1 side and the positioning hole 64 on the binding tool 60 side, The relative positional relationship between the fixing device 1 and the binding tool 60 is uniquely determined so as to be in a non-contact state with respect to the engaging hole 66 to be performed. As a result, when the user operates the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 to bring the fixing device 1 into the disengaged state, each engagement claw is inevitably non-engaged with respect to the engagement hole 66 and the like. Since the contact state is established, the fixing device 1 can be easily extracted from the binding tool 60. This greatly contributes to an improvement in user workability when the binding tool 60 is removed from the file body 80.

  Further, when the fixing device 1 in the disengaged state is shifted to the engaged state, the positioning projections 21 and 41 contact any side 64a or 64b of the positioning hole 64 as shown in FIG. 12B. The state shown in FIG. At this time, the positioning projection 21 is in contact with the lower side 64 b of the positioning hole 64, and the positioning projection 41 is in contact with the upper side 64 a of the positioning hole 64. As a result, as in the case of the disengaged state, the relative positional relationship between the fixing device 1 and the binding tool 60 is uniquely determined in the engaged state.

Next, functions of the slide protrusion 13 and the slide groove 32 in the fixing device 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A and 13B. FIG. 13A shows the fixing device 1 in the engaged state.
FIG. 13B shows the relationship between the state of each engaging claw and the slide protrusion 13 and the slide groove 32. FIG. 13B shows the state of each engaging claw and the slide protrusion in the fixing device 1 in the disengaged state. 13 and the slide groove 32 are shown. 13A and 13B, the left side is a top view of the fixing device 1, and the right side is a sectional view thereof.

  As described above, when the relative slide is performed by the user's operation between the engagement position and the engagement release position in the fixing device 1, the slide protrusion 13 provided on the first slide member 10 becomes the protrusion The vehicle moves back and forth between the divided areas 32a and 32b in the slide groove 32 while getting over 33. Here, as shown to FIG. 13A, the division area 32a has a shape which accommodates the slide projection part 13 almost without gap. Thereby, when the fixing device 1 is in the engaged state, even if the relative slide is not restricted by the lock members 36 and 37, the slide protrusion 13 is moved by the protrusion 33 in the slide groove 32. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the first slide member 10 and the second slide member is maintained unless an external force is applied to the slide protrusion 13 over the protrusion 33. Therefore, even if the lock members 36 and 37 are not sufficiently inserted into the insertion space, the binding of the binding tool 60 to the file body 80 is maintained to some extent.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, the shape of the divided region 32b is a shape having an extra gap so that the slide protrusion 13 can still slide to some extent when the slide protrusion 13 is accommodated. That is, the divided area 32b is wider than the divided area 32a, and the slide protrusion 13 can slide to some extent within a limited range within the divided area 32b. As a result, in a state where the binding tool 60 is about to be fixed to the file body 80 from now on (for example, the state shown in FIG. 8A), the user who is going to operate the fixing device 1 is the first slide member 10 and the second slide member. 30 can be recognized by the tactile sensation that it can slide within the limited range, so that it can be recognized that the fixing device 1 is in the disengaged state, and the user's subsequent work can be smoothly performed. Can be done. In other words, when the binding tool 60 is to be fixed to the file main body 80 from now on, the user may feel the sliding within the limited range of the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 by tactile sensation. When the fixing device 1 cannot be engaged, the fixing device 1 is in the engaged state, not in the disengaged state, so that it can be smoothly shifted to the fixing operation of the binding tool 60 immediately after being changed to the disengaged state.

  Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, the shape of the divided region 32b may be a shape that accommodates the slide protrusion 13 with almost no gap, like the divided region 32a. In this case, even when the fixing device 1 is in the disengaged state, the slide protrusion 13 is restricted from moving in the slide groove 32 by the protrusion 33, so the slide protrusion 13 gets over the protrusion 33. As long as an external force does not act, the relative positional relationship between the first slide member 10 and the second slide member is maintained. Therefore, when the fixing device 1 is to be inserted / removed into / from the overlapped engagement hole 66 or the like, each engagement claw does not move, so that each engagement claw is displaced from the engagement position or the like. Thus, it can be prevented that the attachment / detachment work is hindered by being caught by the binding tool, so that it can be said that the workability of the user is improved.

  Next, the function of the protrusion 65 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the fixing device 1 and the binding tool 60 in an engaged state are viewed from the outside of the file main body 80 in a state of being attached to the file main body 80, with the projecting portion 65 as a center. In this case, the base plate 61c around the protrusion 65 is shown in a cut state so that the state of the back side of the fixing device 1 can be easily grasped.

It should be noted here that the slide recess 24 provided in the first slide member 10 and the slide recess 46 provided in the second slide member 30 with respect to the protruding portion 65 of the binding tool 60 (see, for example, FIG. 3B). ). Specifically, when the binding device 60 is fixed by the fixing device 1, the relative positions of the fixing device 1 and the binding device 60 are such that both the slide concave portions cover the protruding portions 65. The positional relationship is determined. That is, as described above, both the slides even when the positioning projections 21 and 41 are inserted into the positioning holes 64 and when the fixing device 1 is placed in the engaged state as shown in FIG. The concave shape of the concave portion covers the protruding portion 65.

  Therefore, when the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 are relatively slid, the slide recess of each slide member extends over the protrusion 65 of the binding tool 60. It will slide in the present direction. In other words, when the user operates the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 to perform relative slide, the protruding portion 65 functions as a guide for the relative slide. For this reason, the user can smoothly move both slide members to the engaged position or the disengaged position, thereby improving the workability of the user.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3A, the second slide member 30 performs the relative sliding in a state where it is substantially disposed on the upper side of the first slide member 30. However, when the second slide member 30 is positioned on the upper side, there is a possibility that an operation of holding the operation units 16 and 18 and lifting each slide member may be performed depending on the user to be used. Of course, the two sliding members cannot slide relative to each other by this lifting operation, but if the user's force is too large, the fixing device 1 may be damaged by this lifting operation. When the fixing device 1 is in the disengaged state, the engaging claws are not engaged with the file body 80 or the like, so that even if the user performs a lifting operation, the fixing device 1 does not engage with the engaging hole. The possibility of damaging the fixing device 1 is low only by being pulled out from the portion 66 or the like.

  However, when the fixing device 1 is in the engaged state, each engaging claw is engaged with the file main body 80. Therefore, if the user performs a lifting operation, the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 are engaged. There is a high possibility that the fixing device 1 will be damaged. Therefore, in the fixing device 1 according to the present invention, when it is in the engaged state, the first slide member 10 and the second slide member 30 are temporarily placed in the adjacent portion of the operation unit 38 where the user's operation is performed. In contrast, when the lifting operation is performed, the two members interfere with each other by the planar protrusion 40 of the second slide member 30 and the end 12a of the upper vertical frame 12 of the first slide member 10. Details of this state are shown in FIG.

  As can be clearly seen from FIG. 15, in the fixing device 1 in the engaged state, the second slide member 30 is positioned above the first slide member 10. The planar protruding portion 40 provided adjacent to the portion 38 is in a state of being buried under the end portion 12a of the upper vertical frame 12 on the first slide member 10 side. Therefore, even if the user mistakenly lifts the fixing device 1 via the operation unit 38 in the state shown in FIG. 15, the planar protrusion 40 is immediately caught by the end 12 a and Can give a sense of incongruity. As a result, it is possible to avoid the operation unit 38 being inadvertently lifted upward due to an erroneous operation by the user.

<Modification>
The disclosure of the embodiment of the fixing device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. That is, as long as the direction of engagement of the file main body by the engagement of the engagement claws inserted into one engagement hole 66 or the like is at least two different directions, the fixing device according to the present invention. This is an example. Therefore, for example, the number of engagement claws inserted into one engagement hole 66 or the like may be three or more. Further, if the number of engagement claws inserted into one engagement hole 66 or the like is two or more, the number of engagement claws inserted into the other engagement hole or the like is one. Good. Furthermore, the number of engaging claws inserted into one engaging hole 66 or the like is one, and the number of engaging claws inserted into the other engaging hole 66 or the like is one. As long as the holding direction of the file main body 80 by each engaging claw is different, it is included in the category of the fixing device of this embodiment. That is, a pair of two engagement hole portions 66 may be considered as one engagement hole portion.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the number of the engagement holes 66 provided in the binding tool 60 and the file main body 80 is two, but the number is naturally not limited to two. Even in the case of one or three or more cases, it is included in the category of the fixing device 1 according to the present invention.

  Moreover, the structure which restrict | limits the motion of the two slide members which perform a relative slide like the lock members 36 and 37 is not necessarily a structure required as a fixing device based on this invention. At least when the slide member reaches the engagement position, the engagement state with the file main body 80 may be maintained and the binding tool 60 may be fixed to the file main body 80. Of course, even when the lock member is provided, the number is not limited to two, and may be one or three as long as it is an appropriate number that can limit the movement of the slide member for relative sliding. That's all.

  Furthermore, the technical idea about the positioning of the fixing device 1 by the positioning projections 21 and 41 and the positioning hole 64, and the technical idea about the maintenance of the engagement state of the slide members 10 and 30 by the slide projection 13 and the slide groove 32. The technical idea about the relative slide guide by the slide recesses 24 and 46 and the projecting part 65 and the technical idea about the catch between the flat protrusion (interference part) 40 and the end 12 of the upper vertical frame 12 are filed. Although human beings are disclosed all together in the above embodiment, these may be combined as appropriate, and any combination thereof is also included in the scope of the applicant's disclosure. In addition, each of the above-described technical elements and the following technical elements are inventions, and each of them has a sufficient effect even if it is used alone. Needless to say, it is effective.

  Next, a second embodiment of the fixing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The fixing device 100 according to the present embodiment is for binding a binding tool 160 that binds a large amount of documents or the like to the file main body 180 as compared with the fixing device 1 according to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 16 shows the fixing device 100 according to the present embodiment and the binding tool 160 fixed to the file main body 180 thereby, as in FIG. Here, a schematic configuration of the fixing device 100, the binding tool 160, and the file main body 180 is shown. The fixing device 100 includes a first slide member 110 and a second slide member 130. A back cover portion 180a corresponding to a back cover when used as a front cover, a front cover portion 180b corresponding to a front cover, and a back cover portion 180c corresponding to a back cover. The The binding tool 160 includes a base member 161, a first binding member 170, and a second binding member 175, and is attached to the base member 161 in a state where the first binding member 170 and the second binding member 175 are combined. By doing so, binding of documents and the like is performed. For the above reason, the thickness of the spine portion 180a (width / width in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction in the direction along the spine portion 180a) is thicker than the thickness of the spine portion 80a in the first embodiment. Yes, the width of the binding tool 160 is also larger than the width of the binding tool 60 in the first embodiment.

First, the structure of the 1st slide member 110 and the 2nd slide member 130 which comprise the fixing device 100 is demonstrated based on FIG. 17A-20B. The first slide member 110 and the second slide member 130 are combined as shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, which will be described later, so that the first slide member 110 and the second slide member 130 can slide relative to each other. The function as the fixing device 100 according to the above is exhibited. In addition, the relative slide by both the slide members is also referred to as “relative slide” as in the case of the first embodiment.

  Here, FIG. 17A is a diagram showing a configuration of the first slide member 110, in which the left side in the drawing is a top view of the first slide member 110 and the right side in the drawing is a rear view thereof. FIG. 17B is a diagram showing the configuration of the second slide member 130, where the left side in the drawing is a top view of the second slide member 130 and the right side in the drawing is a rear view thereof. 18A is an upper perspective view of the fixing device 100 when the first sliding member 110 and the second slide member 130 are combined to form the fixing device 100, and FIG. 18B is a lower side of the fixing device 100. It is a perspective view. Next, FIG. 19A is a view showing an “engagement state”, which will be described later, taken from the upper side of the fixing device 100, which the fixing device 100 uses to fix the binding device 160, and FIG. 19B is an engagement shown in FIG. 19A. It is sectional drawing of a state. FIG. 20A is a view showing a “disengaged state”, which will be described later, taken from the upper side of the fixing device 100, which is used by the fixing device 100 to release the fixing of the binding tool 160, and FIG. It is sectional drawing of an engagement state.

  First, the first slide member 110 will be described with reference to FIG. 17A. Regarding the configuration of the front side of the first slide member 110, the first slide member 110 connects two parallel vertical frames 111 extending in the longitudinal direction with three parallel horizontal frames 114a, 114b, and 114c. The operation unit 116 is provided at one end of the vertical frame 111. The horizontal frame 114c is located at the end opposite to the end of the vertical frame 111 where the operation unit 116 is provided. Here, on the vertical frame 111, two parallel upper vertical frames 112 extending in the longitudinal direction are provided in the same manner. Therefore, the upper surface of the vertical frame 111 and the horizontal frames 114a to 114c and the upper surface of the upper vertical frame 112 are not located on the same plane, and form a step shape. Further, the end 112a of the upper vertical frame 112 is formed so as to protrude a little outside the first slide member from the outer side of the horizontal frame 114c.

  Here, a penetrating region 115a penetrating the front side and the back side of the first slide member 110 is formed by being surrounded by the two vertical frames 111, the operation unit 116, and the horizontal frame 114a. Similarly, the two vertical frames are formed. 111 is surrounded by the horizontal frame 114a and the horizontal frame 114b to form a through region 115b that penetrates the front and back sides of the first slide member 110. Similarly, the two vertical frames 111, the horizontal frame 114b, and the horizontal frame are formed. By being surrounded by 114c, a through region 115c penetrating the front side and the back side of the first slide member 110 is formed. A slide protrusion 113 formed so that a part of the upper vertical frame 112 protrudes on the penetrating region 115 c is provided so that the upper surface thereof is flush with the upper surface of each upper vertical frame 112. Therefore, the upper surfaces of the horizontal frames 114a to 114c and the upper surface of the slide protrusion 113 are not flush with each other.

The through hole 317 of the operation unit 316 is in a state of being hooked on the hooking projection 334 on the second slide member 330 side (see FIG. 31A).

  Further, in order to bring the fixing device 300 from the engaged state to the disengaged state, first, the operation unit 316 is rotated around the hinge connecting portion to release the hooked state of the through hole 317 and the hooking projection 334. Let Then, using the operation unit 316, the first slide member 310 is slid in a direction in which the spring 346 is contracted. In FIG. 32A, after the operation portion 316 is rotated until it is substantially perpendicular to the base portion 311 of the first slide member 310, the first slide member 310 is engaged with the hooking projection portion of the second slide member 330. The state pulled to the vicinity of 334 is shown.

  In this disengaged state, as shown in FIG. 32B, the distance between the claws of the engaging claws 323 and 343 and the engaging claws 328 and 342 that are paired is minimized. These engaging claws can be extracted. In order to bring the fixing device 300 from the disengaged state to the engaged state, if the tensile force applied to the operation unit 316 is removed, the fixing device 300 reaches the engaged state by the biasing force of the spring 346.

  Further, the horizontal frame 415 is provided with a plate-like vertical frame 416 that extends from the tip of the horizontal frame 415 toward the horizontal frame 414 and has a length that does not reach the horizontal frame 414. Is provided with a mounting portion 418 to which a spring 430 described later can be mounted toward the lateral frame 412.

  Next, the configuration on the back side of the slide member 410 will be described. Two engagement claws 421 corresponding to the engagement claws 22 and the like in the first embodiment are arranged on the back side of the horizontal frame 412, and similarly, the back sides of the horizontal frame 415 correspond to the engagement claws 22 and the like. Two engaging claws 420 are arranged. These engaging claws 420 and 421 all have the same shape, and the holding direction of the file body by the engaging claws is also the same direction (direction from the horizontal frame 412 to the horizontal frame 415).

  A groove 419 extending in the extending direction of the vertical frame 411 is provided on one side of the L-shape of the horizontal frame 414 (side parallel to the vertical frame 411), and the groove 419 is opposed to the horizontal frame 415. And extends to the vicinity of the other side of the horizontal frame 414. When the fixing device 400 is formed by combining two slide members 410 as will be described later, the vertical frame 413 of one slide member 410 is inserted into the groove portion 419.

The two slide members 410 configured in this way are used and the horizontal frames 418 (4
18 ′) are opposed to each other, and the fixing device 400 is combined so as to be a rolling target, whereby the fixing device 400 according to the present embodiment is formed. A specific configuration of the fixing device 400 is shown in FIG. 34A and the like. However, in describing the configuration of the one slide member 410, a dash is not attached to the reference number, and the other slide is included.

Similarly, the vertical frame 416 ′ rides on the horizontal frame 412, and the operation unit 417 ′ rides on the horizontal frame 415.

  Further, the vertical frame 413 of one slide member 410 is inserted into the groove 419 ′ of the other slide member 410 ′, and similarly, the vertical frame 413 ′ of the other slide member 410 ′ is inserted into the groove 419 of the one slide member 410. It will be inserted. Then, a spring 430 for applying an urging force is attached between the two slide members 410 and 410 ′ via attachment portions 418 and 418 ′ provided on the opposing lateral frames 418 and 418 ′. In the fixing device 400 formed in this way, both slide members perform relative sliding similar to that in the first embodiment, and both the slide members reach the engagement position or the disengagement position. A combined state or a disengaged state will be formed.

  Here, FIGS. 34A and 34B show the engagement state of the fixing device 400 as viewed from the front and back surfaces, respectively, and FIGS. Shown in In the fixing device 400, when the first slide member 410 and the second slide member 410 ′ slide relative to each other, a biasing force is exerted by the spring 430 so that the fixing device 400 is in an engaged state.

  First, in the engaged state of the fixing device 400, the distance between the slide member 410 and the slide member 410 ′ is separated by the biasing force of the spring 430 (the length in the biasing direction by the spring 430 of the fixing device 400 is the longest). As a result, the distance between the claws of the engaging claws 420 and 421 ′ that make a pair becomes the maximum. At this time, as shown in FIG. 34B, the spring 430 has returned to its natural length from the compressed state, and the vertical frame 413 (413 ′) of each slide member corresponds to the groove 419 ′ (419). ). Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the slide members is maintained to some extent by the urging force from the spring 430.

  In order to bring the fixing device 400 from the engaged state to the disengaged state, both slide members are slid in the direction in which the spring 430 is contracted. Specifically, the user may perform an operation so as to pick the horizontal frames 414 and 414 'with his / her finger. By doing so, the fixing device 400 reaches the disengaged state, and the distance between the claws such as the engaging claws 420 and 421 ′ that make a pair is minimized as shown in FIG. These engaging claws can be extracted from the portion 66 and the like. In order to bring the fixing device 300 from the disengaged state to the engaged state, if the force for contracting the spring 430 is removed, the fixing device 400 is brought into the engaged state by the biasing force of the spring 430.

  Moreover, the technical idea disclosed in the above-described embodiments can be applied to the fixing device in the present embodiment.

Next, a sixth embodiment of the fixing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The fixing device 500 according to the present embodiment is a fixing device used for fixing the binding tool 160 shown in the second embodiment to the file main body 180. Unlike the above-described fixing device, two sliding members are used. The binding tool 160 is not fixed by the relative sliding movement, but the binding tool 160 is fixed by an integrated fixing device shown in FIGS. 36A and 36B.

  The fixing device 500 includes a plate-like device main body 501 and two insertion pieces 503 extending vertically from the device main body 501 and corresponding to the insertion piece 22b in the first embodiment.

Here, when the schematic configuration of the fixing device 2000, the binding tool 2060, and the file main body 2080 is shown, the fixing device 2000 is formed by integrally molding a resin material, and the file main body 2080 is used as a file. A back cover portion 2080a corresponding to the back cover, a front cover portion 2080b corresponding to the front cover, and a back cover portion 2080c corresponding to the back cover are formed, and the portions between the cover portions are bent. The binding tool 2060 includes a base member 2061, a first binding member 2070, and a second binding member 2075. The binding device 2060 is attached to the base member 2061 in a state where the first binding member 2070 and the second binding member 2075 are combined. By doing so, binding of documents and the like is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 54, in this embodiment, two fixing devices 2000 are used to fix the binding tool 2060 to the file main body 2080. Specifically, as will be described later, the binding tool 2060 is installed in the vicinity of both ends of the base plate 2061c in the top-and-bottom direction.

  Here, the fixing device 2000 includes a plate-shaped main body plate portion 2001, an engaging claw 2023 provided at the tip portion thereof, an engaging claw 2022 provided at the rear of the main body plate portion 2001, and a main body plate portion. And a flat plate-like operation portion 2002 provided so as to be bent upward with respect to the main body plate portion 2001 at the rear end portion of 2001. Furthermore, a protruding locking projection 2003 that extends in the lateral direction of the main body plate portion 2001 is provided on the lower surface side of the main body plate portion 2001 in the vicinity of the connection portion between the main body plate portion 2001 and the operation portion 2002. Yes.

  Here, the engaging claws 2022 and 2023 have a configuration that is functionally the same as the engaging claws 22 and the like shown in the first embodiment. That is, the engaging claw 2022 and the engaging claw 2023 have engaging pieces 2022a and 2023a corresponding to the engaging piece 22a, respectively, and have insertion pieces 2022b and 2023b corresponding to the inserting piece 22b, and the positioning Positioning pieces 2022c and 2023c corresponding to the piece 22c are provided. The engaging claw 2023 is further provided with a plate-like upper plate portion 2023d that is connected so as to cover the insertion piece 2023b and the positioning piece 2023c from above and is flush with the main body plate portion 2001. Further, in one fixing device 2000, the engaging claw 2022 and the engaging claw 2023 are engaged in the same direction, but the two fixing devices 2000 are used to fix the binding tool 206 and the file main body 2080. As shown in the figure, the engagement direction by one fixing device 2000 and the engagement direction by the other fixing device 2000 are different (in the present embodiment, they are opposite to each other). As a result, the fixing of the binding tool 2060 or the like can be realized.

  Next, the configuration of the binding tool 2060 will be described. The binding tool 2060 is formed by combining the first binding member 2070 and the second binding member 2075 and attaching them to the base member 2061. The base member 2061 has two side wall portions 2061b, a binding claw portion 2061a provided on each of the side wall portions 2061b, and a base plate 2061c as a base member that comes into contact with the file main body 2080. In addition, since the first binding member 2070 and the second binding member 2075 are functionally the same as the first binding member 70 and the second binding member 75 described above, detailed description thereof is omitted. To do.

Here, a plurality of types of holes are provided on the base plate 2061c of the base member 2061. It is formed by the engaging hole 2066 and the engaging positioning hole 2067 in the vertical direction (direction corresponding to the vertical direction of the file body) across the central part of the base plate 2061c and so as to avoid the central part of the base plate. Two through holes of the base plate 2061c are provided so as to have a mirror image relationship with the central portion interposed therebetween. The engagement hole 2066 is a substantially rectangular through hole, and the engagement positioning hole 2067 is engaged with the side on the center portion side of the base plate 2061c among the vertical sides of the engagement hole 2066. The through hole communicates with the hole 2066. The engaging positioning hole 2067 corresponds to the positioning piece 2023c of the engaging claw 2023.

  Further, two through holes 2062 formed by bending a part of the base plate 2061c to the side are provided between the two engagement hole portions 2066. At this time, when the binding tool 2060 is arranged on the file body, the bent piece becomes the positioning claw 2063 so as to function as a positioning mechanism. The positioning claw 2063 is erected vertically from the back surface of the base plate 2061c. Accordingly, the through hole 2062 and the positioning claw 2063 correspond to the claw positioning hole 62 and the positioning claw 63 described above.

  In addition, positioning notches 2068 that are formed by notching and extending in the same direction as the above-mentioned engaging positioning hole 2067 are provided on two sides in the vertical direction of the base plate 2061c. The positioning notch 2068 corresponds to the positioning piece 2022c of the engagement claw 2022.

  Next, the configuration of the file body 2080 will be described. The back cover portion 2080a of the file main body 2080 is provided with file side engagement holes 2086a and 2086b into which the engagement claws 2022 and 2023 of the fixing device 2000 are inserted. The file side engagement holes 2086a and 2086b are arranged in a mirror image relationship along the vertical direction with respect to the central portion of the spine portion 2080a. Therefore, hereinafter, the file side engagement holes 2086a and 2086b on one side will be described.

  The file side engagement hole 2086a disposed near the center portion of the spine portion 2080a is a substantially rectangular through hole. Further, the side on the center portion side of the side in the top and bottom direction corresponds to the positioning hole 2067 at the time of engagement on the binding tool 2060 side, and is similarly a file side member that is a through hole extending in the top and bottom direction. A time positioning hole 2087a is provided. Similarly, the file side engagement hole 2086b disposed outside the file side engagement hole 2086a is also a substantially rectangular through hole. Furthermore, the side on the central portion side of the side in the top-to-bottom direction corresponds to the positioning notch 2068 located at the end of the base plate 2061c of the binding tool 2060, and the through-hole extending in the top-to-bottom direction similarly. The file-side engagement positioning hole 2087b is provided. Here, the shape of the file side engagement holes 2086a and 2086b is substantially the same, and the positioning holes 2087a and 2087b at the time of file side engagement are the positions of the positioning pieces 2022c and 2023c of the respective engagement claws of the fixing device 2000. Corresponding to the length (depth in the engaging direction), the vertical lengths of both holes are substantially the same.

  Further, two file side positioning holes 2082 corresponding to the positioning claws 2063 described above are provided in the central portion of the spine portion 2080a. The file-side positioning hole 2082 is a rectangular through-hole, and two positioning claws 2063 provided in each through-hole 2062 are in contact with both sides on the top and bottom sides, so that the binding tool 2060 is disposed with respect to the file main body 2080. Positioning.

  Therefore, a method for fixing the binding tool 2060 positioned on the file main body 2080 by the fixing device 2000 will be described below. FIG. 55 shows a state in which the binding tool 2060 is positioned on the file main body 2080 by the positioning claw 2063 and the file-side positioning hole 2082, and is fixed by the fixing device 2000 in this state. FIG. 56 is a cross-sectional view (BB cross-sectional view) in the state shown in FIG.

When the file main body 2080 and the binding tool 2060 are overlapped by the positioning claw 2063 and the file side positioning hole 2082, the file side engagement hole 2086a and the engagement hole 2066 overlap, and the file main body A communication hole is formed which allows communication between the outer side and the inner side of 2080 and allows the engagement claw 2023 of the fixing device 2000 to be inserted. At this time, the file-side positioning hole 2087a also overlaps and communicates with the positioning hole 2067 when engaged. Further, the file-side positioning hole 2087b also overlaps with the positioning notch 2068 to form the same communication state, but the file-side engagement hole 2086b is in a state where the binding tool 2060 is overlapped therewith. It does n’t come. Therefore, the engagement claw 2022 of the fixing device 2000 is inserted only into the file side engagement hole 2086b.

  Then, the engagement claws 2022 and 2023 of the binding tool 2000 are respectively connected to the corresponding communication holes by the file side engagement hole 2086a and the engagement hole 2066, and the file side engagement hole 2086b. Is inserted from the inside, and the engagement with the file main body 2080 by each engaging claw is realized. Specifically, while the user grips the operation unit 2002, the engagement claw 2023 is inserted into the communication hole formed by the file side engagement hole 2086a and the engagement hole 2066, and at the same time, the engagement claw 2022 is engaged with the file side engagement. Insert into hole 2086b. In this state, when a sliding force is applied to the fixing device 2000 toward the center portion of the spine portion 2080a via the operation portion 2002, the insertion piece 2022c, the file side positioning hole portion 2087a, and the positioning positioning hole portion 2067 are engaged. The fixing device 2000 slides while following the fitting relationship for positioning and following the fitting relationship for positioning the insertion piece 2023c, the file-side positioning hole 2087b, and the positioning notch 2068. Finally, the sliding of the fixing device 2000 ends when the insertion pieces 2023b and 2022b of the respective engaging claws come into contact with the edge of each hole and the edge of the base plate 2061c. As a result, the engagement pieces 2023a and 2022a of the respective engagement claws of the fixing device 2000 are engaged with the outside of the spine portion 2080a of the file main body 2080, so that the binding tool 2060 is connected to the fixing device 2000 and the file main body 2080. The file body 2080 is fixed.

  Here, when the operation device 2002 is moved to the spine portion 2080a side when the slide of the fixing device 2000 is finished, the locking projection portion 2003 is inserted into the file side engagement hole portion 2086b so as to slide, It will be in the state which contacted the edge located outside among the edge | sides of the vertical direction of the part 2086b (refer FIG. 55, FIG. 56). As a result, the fixing device 2000 forms a state in which the slide is restricted by the engaging claws and the locking projection 2003 in the vertical direction of the file main body 2080, and thus the binding tool 2060 is attached to the file main body 2080. It is possible to securely fix it on 2080. And as mentioned above, since the engaging direction by the engaging claw of the fixing device 2000 is different between the fixing devices 2000 as described above, the fixing of the binding tool 2060 becomes more meteorite.

  In addition, in order to remove the binding tool 2060 fixed on the file main body 2080, the locking protrusion 2003 fitted in the file side engagement hole 2086b may be pulled out by using the operation unit 2002. . Since the operation unit 2002 is bent above the fixing device, it is not difficult for the user to pull out. After the locking projection 2003 has been pulled out, the fixing device 2000 is slid in the direction opposite to that during fixing, so that the engagement state by each engagement claw is released and each engagement claw is inserted. It can be pulled out from the communication hole.

As can be seen from FIG. 54, in this embodiment, two fixing devices 2000 are used as fixing means for fixing the binding tool 2060 to the file main body 2080, that is, a fixing device having a necessary and sufficient size is used. The necessary number is used and efficient fixing is performed by each fixing device. Therefore, the size of the space occupied by the fixing device 2000 with respect to the binding tool 2060 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the space that becomes “dead space” from the viewpoint of binding tool design, and for binding tool design. It is possible to widen the space that can be utilized for In other words, since it is not necessary to secure a wide space for fixing the binding tool, the fixing device 2000 can be employed even if the size of the binding tool is relatively small. For example, the fixing device 2000 can be applied to a binding tool in which the length of a pipe portion for binding the paper sheets of the binding tool 2060 is short (therefore, the width of the back cover portion of the corresponding file is also narrowed).

  Next, a twelfth embodiment of the fixing device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The fixing device according to the present embodiment is a fixing device that fixes an object to be locked such as a binding tool to an object to be locked such as a file main body by relatively sliding the two slide members. Unlike each embodiment, it fixes only with a pair of engaging claw. That is, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in the first embodiment, each slide member does not have two engagement claws, but each slide member has one engagement claw.

  As shown in FIGS. 57 and 58, the fixing device 1000 according to the present embodiment includes a first slide member 1010 and a second slide member 1030. The first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 constituting the fixing device 1000 can be slid relative to each other by being combined as shown in FIGS. 57 and 58. In the state, it functions as the fixing device 100 according to the present embodiment. In addition, the relative slide by both the slide members is referred to as “relative slide” as in the case of the above-described embodiments. In addition, about each component which comprises the fixing device 1000, about what uses the name similar to each Example mentioned above, since the same function as the component described in each said Example is show | played, the above The difference from the fixing device according to each embodiment will be mainly described.

  First, regarding the first slide member 1010, the first slide member 1010 has two parallel vertical frames 1011 extending in the longitudinal direction, as in the above-described embodiments. In addition, an operation unit 1016 is provided at the longitudinal end of the first slide member 1010, and further includes a recess 1018 extending from the operation unit 116 to the through hole. Further, the first slide member 1010 has an engaging claw 1022 that engages with the locked object in order to fix the locked object such as a binding tool to the locked object such as the file main body. It is provided so as to protrude to the back side.

  Next, regarding the second slide member 1030, the second slide member 1030 has a base portion 1031 extending in the longitudinal direction. An operation unit 1038 is provided at one end of the base unit 1031, so that when the user slides the second slide member 1030, the user can place the finger to perform the operation. It has a through hole. Similarly to the engagement claw 1022, the second slide member 1030 has an engagement claw 1043 that engages the locked object in order to fix the locked object to the locked object. It is provided so as to protrude to the back side. The holding directions of the engaging claws 1022 and the engaging claws 1043 are opposite to each other, and a pair of engaging claws are formed in a state where the holding directions of the engaging claws 1022 and the engaging claws 1043 are opposite to each other. To do. Further, the second slide member 1030 is provided with a lock member 1037 similar to those in the above-described embodiments.

  Here, the distance between the nail | claw 1022 and the engagement nail | claw 1043 which comprises a pair of engagement claw changes with the relative slide of the 1st slide member 1010 and the 2nd slide member 1030. FIG. When the distance between the claws of the engaging claws is widest, the lock member 1037 provided on the second slide member 1030 side is rotationally displaced to enter the insertion space formed between the engaging claws. As a result, the relative sliding of the first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 is limited, and the engagement state of the fixing device 1000 is maintained. When it is desired to perform relative sliding again, the lock member 1037 may be removed from the space formed between the engaging claws by rotationally displacing the lock member 1037 in the opposite direction.

Hereinafter, a method of using the fixing device 1000 will be described in detail. 59 and 60 illustrate how the fixing device 1000 is used. In order to fix the object to be locked to the object to be locked using the fixing device 1000, the engagement between the engagement hole of the object to be locked and the object to be locked in the stacked state as shown in FIG. Each engaging claw of the fixing device 1000 is inserted into the hole (FIG. 59), and the first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 are further slid relative to each other to be in the engagement position, thereby locking the object. Can be fixed to the object to be locked (FIG. 60). Then, the relative sliding of the first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 is restricted by fitting the lock member 1037 between the corresponding engaging claws 1022 and engaging claws 1043. It becomes a state. When it is desired to remove the object to be locked from the object to be locked, the lock member 1037 fitted between the engaging claw 1022 and the engaging claw 1043 is removed by rotating operation, and the first member is moved by relative sliding. By setting the slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 to the disengagement position, the object to be locked can be removed from the object to be locked.

  As described above, the embodiment of the fixing device according to the present embodiment has been described by taking the case where the binding tool is fixed to the file body as an example. However, as described above, the present embodiment is limited to such an application example. is not. That is, the fixing device according to the present embodiment can be applied to a case where a locking object and a locked object as shown below are fixed. 61 and 62 show application examples when the above-described fixing device is applied in addition to a file. As shown in FIG. 61, the fixing device according to the present embodiment can be applied to a table 1100 and the like. Hereinafter, this application example will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 61, the table 1100 includes a top plate 1110 and legs 1150. As shown in FIG. 62, the top plate 1110 has a metal substrate 1111 on the lower surface. The substrate 1111 is a member corresponding to the object to be locked in this embodiment, and has a total of four objects to be locked side holes 1112 in directions that are divided in four directions from the center of the top plate 1110. The substrate 1111 is attached to the top plate 1110 so that a hollow portion is formed between the vicinity of the center of the substrate 1111 and the top plate 1110 because the edge is distorted toward the top plate 1110 side. Next, the leg 1150 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 61 and 62, the leg 1150 includes a lower plate portion 1151 that is a disk-like member on the side where the floor is installed, and a rod-like column that extends from the lower plate portion 1151 to the side on which the top plate 1110 is provided. 1152. In addition, four clamp members 1153 that are L-shaped iron plates are provided on the upper end side of the support columns 1152 in directions that are divided in four directions. Each of the four clamp members 1153 is provided with a fixing hole 1154 which is a hole having substantially the same shape and size as the above-described locked object side hole 1112.

  A table 1100 composed of a top plate 1110 and legs 1150 is detachably fixed by a fixing device as exemplified in the above embodiments. For example, in the case of fixing the leg 1150 to the top plate 1110 with the fixing device 1000 mentioned above, the engaging claws of the fixing device 1000 are attached to the locked object side hole 1112 and the fixing hole 1154. The clamp member 1153 of the leg 1150 can be fixed to the base plate 1111 of the top plate 1110 by inserting and further sliding the first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 relative to each other in the engaged position ( (See FIG. 63). Then, the relative sliding of the first slide member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 is restricted by fitting the lock member 1037 between the corresponding engaging claws 1022 and engaging claws 1043. It becomes a state. The four fixing devices 1000 are fitted and fixed in the four holes in this way, so that the legs 1150 are fixed to the top plate 1110. When it is desired to remove the leg 1150 from the top plate 1110, the lock member 1037 fitted between the engaging claw 1022 and the engaging claw 1043 is removed by a rotation operation, and the first slide is moved by relative sliding. The leg 1150 can be detached from the top plate 1110 by setting the member 1010 and the second slide member 1030 to the disengagement position.

  Here, the above-described plurality of embodiments are also included in the technical idea related to the following additional matters.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the invention according to this supplementary note is a pair of insertions that are inserted into the hole on the file body side and the through part on the binding tool side that are provided to fix the binding tool to the file body. An operation unit that enables an operation from the inside of the file main body is provided for the movable member provided with one of the insertion portions. A configuration that allows operation from the inside of the main unit is adopted. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to ensure user operability.

  Specifically, the invention according to this supplementary note uses a fixing hole provided in a binding tool for binding documents and the like, and a file side hole provided in the file body to place the binding tool on the file body. A binding device fixing device for fixing, a fixing device main body disposed inside the file main body, the fixing device main body having a movable member movable relative to the fixing device base; A pair of insertion portions provided in the fixing device main body portion and sequentially inserted from the inside of the file main body into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, A pair of insertion portions provided in the movable member, and an engagement portion provided in at least one of the pair of insertion portions and capable of engaging and releasing the file main body; The movable member comprises a front In a state in which the fixing device main body is disposed inside the file main body, the user has an operation unit that operates the movable member in order to move the movable member and the fixing device base relative to each other. When the user operates the operation portion and the movable member and the fixing device base are moved relative to each other, the insertion portions come into contact with the file side holes, and the engagement portions are When the user operates the operation unit to move the movable member and the fixing device base relative to each other, the file body is engaged.

  In the binding tool fixing device according to the present invention, the pair of insertion parts are inserted into the file side hole provided in the file body and the fixing hole provided on the binding tool side. And in the inserted state, the engaging part provided in one of the insertion parts is arranged in a state in which the file main body can be engaged and released. When the engaging portion is engaged with the file main body, the binding tool is held by the file main body by the engaging portion and the fixing device main body portion of the binding fixing device, and the engaged state is When the released engagement is released, the holding of the binding tool to the file body is released. As a result, the binding tool can be freely attached to and detached from the file body.

  Here, the binding tool fixing device can access the file side hole and the fixing hole from the inside of the file main body. That is, the user inserts a pair of insertion portions into the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion from the inside of the file body, and operates the operation portion from the inside of the file body to move to the file body of the engaging portion. Can be engaged. Thereby, the user operability is significantly improved.

  As for the engagement of the file main body by the engaging portion, any portion of the file main body can be engaged. That is, when the file side hole is a through-hole, the insertion portion may be inserted there and each engagement portion may be engaged with the file body in a state of reaching the outside of the file body. May be engaged with the file main body in the middle of the file side hole. In summary, the engagement of the engagement portion with the file body is essential that the insertion of the pair of insertion portions is performed from the inside of the file body, and the binding tool is fixed to the file body at the engagement point with the file body. As long as it is possible, it may be any location.

  Further, the direction in which the movable member moves relative to the fixing device base may be a direction along the surface of the file body. By making the relative movement direction along the surface of the file main body, the engagement portion can be engaged with the file main body.

  Preferably, the file side hole is provided in a spine portion of the file body, and a direction in which the movable member moves relative to the fixing device base is along a vertical direction of the spine portion. It may be a direction. When a user binds a document or the like to a binding tool, one of the possibilities that a strong external force acts on the fixing portion of the binding tool to the file body is that the file in which the document or the like is bound is The case where it falls to the floor etc. is considered. When taking into account such a drop configuration, the external force acting by the drop is reliably received by the engaging portion, thereby maintaining the fixing state of the binding tool to the file body and avoiding the damage of the binding tool fixing device. Is possible.

  Here, in the binding tool fixing device described above, preferably, in a state in which the engagement portion is disengaged from the file body, the insertion portion includes the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. On the other hand, it can be inserted from the inside of the file body and can be extracted from the inside of the file body. By linking the disengaged state of the engaging portion and the state in which the pair of inserting portions can be freely inserted and removed, the operability by the user of the binding device fixing apparatus according to the present invention is improved. In particular, since the binding tool fixing device performs the fixing operation of the binding tool by accessing only from the inside of the file main body, the improvement in workability greatly contributes to the user's profit.

  Here, in the binding tool fixing device described above, the movable member is a member that slides relative to the fixing device main body, and the movable member and the fixing device main body engage with each other by relative sliding. In this state, the engagement portion is engaged with the file main body, and the movable member and the fixing device main body are engaged by a relative slide in a direction opposite to the slide reaching the engagement position. When the mating release position is reached, the engagement state with the file body by the engaging portion may be released.

  By configuring the movable member with the slide member in this manner, the user performs a slide operation of the slide member, thereby forming and releasing the engagement state of the engagement portion. Here, in order to establish the engagement state and the release thereof, the slide member is slid relative to the fixing device main body between the engagement position and the engagement release position, and the slide member performs the slide. Hereinafter, it is also simply referred to as “relative slide”. Therefore, a user who wants to fix the binding tool to the file main body inserts a pair of insertion portions of the binding tool fixing device into the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion from the inside of the file main body, and further performs the relative sliding. In many cases, the work imposed on the user is extremely simple and a strong binding tool can be fixed by the engaging portion.

  Here, in the binding device fixing device having the slide member, when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the engagement position by relative sliding, a predetermined slide restriction position is formed from the inside of the file main body. Thus, a lock member that restricts relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body and locks the movable member may be further provided.

  As described above, the slide is relatively slid to hold the file main body by the engagement of the engaging portion. Here, the lock member is provided in order to more reliably maintain the holding by the engagement of the engagement portion, and the operation of the lock member is performed by the user in the same manner as the insertion of the insertion portion and relative sliding. This is done by user access from the inside of the file body in consideration of workability. Specifically, by causing the lock member to reach a predetermined slide restriction position that restricts the relative slide, the relative slide of the slide member is restricted, so that the holding by the engagement of the engaging portion is prevented. It will be maintained reliably.

The following form is mentioned as an example of a locking member. For example, the lock member is connected to at least one of the movable member and the fixing device main body portion via a hinge connection portion, and the connected movable member or the fixed member is connected in a region inside the file main body. When the movable member and the fixed device main body portion reach the engagement position by relative sliding, the movable member and the fixed device can be rotated with respect to the device main body portion. A gap corresponding to the predetermined slide restricting position is formed between the apparatus main body and the relative movement of the movable member and the fixed apparatus main body when the lock member reaches the gap by the rotational movement. You may make it restrict | limit. In addition to the configuration in which the lock member is connected so as to be able to rotate and move with respect to the slide member, the form of the lock member connected to the slide member so as to be capable of linear relative movement, etc. Can also be adopted. Furthermore, the lock member may be separated from the slide member and configured as an independent member. Even in such a case, the independent lock member is set so as to reach the gap from the inside of the file body.

  Here, when the lock member does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement, the lock member is exposed to the outside of the gap, thereby restricting relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body. You may make it display that it is not to a user. According to this, since it is possible for the user to recognize that the lock member is exposed to the outside of the gap, it is easy for the user to determine whether relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body is restricted. Can be recognized.

  In addition, the lock member is an operation plate portion for the user to perform the rotational movement, and has an operation plate portion that can be rotated around a rotation axis of the hinge connection portion. The operation plate portion stands up on the fixing device main body when the rotation movement does not reach the gap, so that relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body is not limited. You may display to a user. According to this, since the operation plate part operated when the user rotates and moves the lock member stands up on the fixing device main body part when the lock member does not reach the gap, the state of the lock member is confirmed. It is possible to make the user easily recognize whether or not relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body is restricted more easily.

  Further, the lock member is an operation plate portion for the user to perform the rotational movement, and includes an operation plate portion that is rotatable about a rotation axis of the hinge connection portion, and the operation plate portion When the lock member reaches the gap by the rotational movement and restricts relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body, it covers at least a part of the operation unit. Also good. According to this, when performing the relative movement operation between the movable member and the fixing device main body where the operation condition is that the lock member is not in the gap, the slide operation is performed if the lock member has reached the gap. Since the operation part touched at that time is covered with the operation plate part, the user can easily recognize that it is necessary to release the lock by the lock member before performing the relative slide operation.

  In addition, the operation unit includes a hole that allows a user to place a finger on the movable member and the fixing device main body to slide relative to each other. When the gap is reached by rotational movement and relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body is restricted, at least a part of the hole on which the user puts a finger may be covered. When the lock member reaches the gap, the hole on which the user puts his / her finger is covered with the operation plate portion, so that the user can easily release the lock by the lock member before performing the relative sliding movement. Can be recognized.

Here, in the binding device fixing device having the slide member described above, when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the engagement position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body. A second maintaining unit that maintains a relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body when the first maintaining unit that maintains the movable member and the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the disengagement position. May be further provided. By having the first maintenance part, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the movable member in the engagement position and the fixing device main body part. As a result, it is possible to smoothly form the file body holding state by the engagement of the engaging portions without being affected by the posture of the binding tool fixing device during the fixing operation of the user. In particular, the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the first maintenance part is useful in order to maintain the gap formed when trying to limit the relative slide using the lock member.

  Moreover, by having the second maintenance part, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the movable member at the disengagement position and the fixing device main body part. As a result, the relative positional relationship between the pair of insertion portions provided with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion is not affected by the posture or the like of the binding device fixing device during the fixing operation of the user. Therefore, the pair of insertion portions can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the file side hole portion and the fixing hole portion. In the binding device fixing device according to the present invention, it is not always necessary to provide the first maintenance unit and the second maintenance unit at the same time, but to provide one maintenance unit that is necessary in consideration of the needs of the user. It may be.

  And about the structure of a 1st maintenance part and a 2nd maintenance part, the example shown next is given. For example, any one of the movable member and the fixing device main body includes a maintenance groove formed along a sliding direction of the relative slide, and a protrusion that divides the maintenance groove into two maintenance regions. And the other of the movable member and the fixing device main body not having the maintaining groove and the protrusion is formed along a sliding direction of the relative slide, and It has a long and narrow projection that goes over the projection and fits in either of the two maintenance areas, and the first maintenance section is such that the elongated projection is accommodated in one of the two maintenance areas. And maintaining the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the engaging position, and the second maintaining portion is the elongated protrusion. Is in the other of the two maintenance areas By being contents may be maintained relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device body portion when said movable member and said fixed device main body has reached the disengaged position.

  That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the maintenance groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixing device main body and the elongated projection provided on the other side, the protrusion in the maintenance groove is By making the boundary between the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the one maintaining unit and the switching of the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the second maintaining unit relative sliding of the movable member and the fixing device main body is performed. Accordingly, the relative position relationship between the first maintenance unit and the second maintenance unit can be maintained by fitting the elongated projection part into one of the maintenance regions divided into two.

In the binding device fixing device having the slide member described above, when the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the disengagement position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body. When the release maintaining portion, the movable member, and the fixed device main body portion are out of the disengagement position, the movable member and the fixed device main body portion are within a predetermined movement range. You may make it further provide the relative movement permissible part which forms the relative positional relationship of this movable member and this fixing device main-body part so that the limited relative movement is accept | permitted. By having the release maintaining portion in this way, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship between the first slide member and the second slide member in the disengagement position as in the case of the second maintenance portion. Become. Also, by having the relative movement allowing portion, when the movable member and the fixed device main body are at a position out of the engagement release position, the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixed device main body is not maintained, Both relative slides are allowed. Therefore, a user who intends to fix the binding tool using the binding tool fixing device having the movable member and the fixing device main body part immediately touches the binding tool fixing device between the movable member and the fixing device main body part. It can be easily determined whether or not the relative positional relationship is in the disengagement position. Then, if necessary, by performing relative sliding so as to position the movable member and the fixing device main body at the disengagement position, it is possible to realize the smooth fixing of the binding tool to the file main body.

  And about the structure of the maintenance part at the time of cancellation | release, and a relative movement permission part, the example shown next is given. For example, one of the movable member and the fixing device main body has a groove formed along the sliding direction of the relative slide and a first protrusion that divides the groove into two regions. Any one of the movable member and the fixing device main body portion that does not have the maintaining groove portion and the projection portion is formed along the slide direction of the relative slide, and the first projection portion. A second protrusion that fits in either of the two areas, and the release-time maintaining part is configured such that the second protrusion is accommodated in one of the two areas, so that the movable member is Maintaining the relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body when the fixing device main body reaches the disengagement position. Housed in the other of the two areas and the second By enabling movement of the raising portion in the other region, the movable member and the fixing device main body can realize relative movement in a limited state within the predetermined movement range. May be.

  That is, according to the relative movement relationship between the groove provided on one side of the movable member and the fixed device main body and the second protrusion provided on the other of the movable member and the fixed device main body, By using the first protrusion as a boundary between the maintenance of the relative positional relationship by the release-time maintenance unit and the switching of the relative movement permission by the relative movement permission unit, the movable member and the fixing device main body are relatively slid. As a result, the relative position of the movable member and the fixing device main body can be maintained and the relative movement within a limited range can be achieved by fitting the second protrusion into one of the two regions. Is possible.

  Further, in the binding device fixing device having the slide member described above, the binding device is in contact with the inside on the file side, and the base member on which the movable member and the fixing device main body are disposed, and the base An elongated projecting portion provided on a member and extending along a sliding direction of the relative slide by the movable member and the fixing device main body, and the movable member and the fixing device main body Further, a slide recess may be further provided that is provided in at least one of the two, fits into the elongated projection, and slides on the elongated projection during the relative sliding.

  The slide member of the fixing device main body is disposed on the base member of the binding tool, and the above-described insertion portion is inserted into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, and then relative sliding is performed. Here, the elongated protrusion provided in one of the movable member and the fixing device main body and the slide recess provided in the other of the movable member and the fixing device main body are fitted with each other and are relatively In the slide, the slide recess can slide along the elongated protrusion. That is, the elongated protrusion is configured to serve as a guide for relative sliding between the movable member and the fixing device main body, and as a result, the user smoothly engages and releases the engaging portion. It becomes possible. In addition, when the movable member and the fixing device main body are arranged on the binding tool, the fitting between the slide concave portion and the elongated protrusion is useful for positioning the arrangement location.

In the binding tool fixing device having the slide member described above, the movable member has a first interference portion in the vicinity of the operation portion of the movable member, and the fixing device main body portion has the relative position. When the movable member and the fixing device main body reach the position where the movable member and the fixing device main body are closest to each other in the slide, either the engagement position or the engagement release position. It has a second interference part that reaches the position overlapping the first interference part above the first interference part and can interfere with the upward displacement of the first slide member via the first interference part. Also good.

  In the binding tool fixing device, the first interference portion and the second interference portion can interfere with each other above the binding tool fixing device in a state where the movable member and the fixing device main body portion are closest to each other in relative sliding. Therefore, forcibly operating the movable member and the fixing device main body upward with respect to the user who operates the operation unit for relative sliding is limited by the presence of the interference unit. It becomes possible to make it known explicitly. In other words, when the movable member and the fixing device main body are re-approaching, the first interference unit and the second interference unit interfere with each other when the user attempts to forcibly move it upward. The user knows that the forced relative movement is not appropriate through the interference operation. As a result, the user can be guided to an operation for an appropriate relative slide.

  And about the said 1st interference part and 2nd interference part, the example shown next is given. For example, the operation portion of the movable member is provided at an end portion of the movable member that is away from the fixing device main body portion, and the first interference portion is provided adjacent to the operation portion. The second interference portion may be provided at an end portion of the fixing device main body portion facing the movable member. In addition, the specific structure of each interference part is not restricted to this form, Preferably it is provided in the place which does not influence the relative slide of both slide members, and can make the user know the presence.

  Here, in the binding device fixing device having the slide member described above, the movable member performs the relative sliding along the upper surface of the fixing device main body, and a part of the fixing device main body is A part of the upper surface of the movable member may be covered to limit the upward displacement of the movable member. That is, the movable member and the fixing device main body are configured to overlap each other above the binding device fixing device different from the sliding direction of the relative slide, so that the movable member and the fixing device main body can be moved upward by a user operation for relative sliding. It is possible to prevent the slide member positioned from warping and to facilitate the relative sliding more smoothly. That is, such overlapping of the movable member and the fixing device main body greatly contributes to improvement of user workability.

  And about the overlap of the said movable member and a fixing device main-body part, the example shown next is given. For example, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, the movable member has a notch in a part of a side along the sliding direction of the relative slide, and the fixing device main body includes the movable member. A sliding recess for accommodating the movable member for sliding on the upper surface of the fixing device main body, and a protruding piece protruding into the sliding recess. The protruding piece is configured so that the movable member is used for the sliding. By being housed inside the notch in a state of being housed in the recess, the upper surface of the movable member is covered and the inside of the notch can be displaced according to the relative slide. May be. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a relative slide between the movable member and the fixing device main body and an overlap between the movable member and the fixing device main body above the binding fixing device.

  Here, in the binding tool fixing device having the slide member described above, the movable member has a first positioning protrusion on a back surface in contact with the binding tool, and the fixing device main body portion contacts the binding tool. When the movable member and the fixing device main body are disposed on the binding tool, the first positioning protrusion is positioned on the positioning hole provided on the binding tool. And the second positioning projection, and when the first positioning projection and the second positioning projection contact the edge of the positioning hole by the relative slide, the movable member and You may comprise so that the said fixing device main-body part may be located in a disengagement position.

  That is, in the above-described binding tool fixing device, the movable member that performs relative sliding and the fixing device main body portion are provided with positioning projections (first positioning projection portion and second positioning projection portion), respectively. The relative positional relationship between the movable member and the fixing device main body is determined by the contact relationship between the positioning member and the positioning hole on the binding tool side. In particular, when the first positioning projection and the second positioning projection contact the positioning hole, the relative sliding operation is restricted, and as a result, the positions of the movable member and the fixing device main body are disengaged. It will be automatically specified halfway to the position. This disengagement position is also a position where the user wants to insert and extract the pair of insertion portions into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. Therefore, when the positions of the movable member and the fixing device main body are automatically specified by the first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion as described above, the user's insertion and extraction operations are relatively easy. Can be done.

  Further, in the binding tool fixing device described above, the fixing device main body portion is configured such that when the engaging portion is in a state in which the engagement with the file main body is released, the fixing device main body portion is relative to the binding tool. You may make it have a positioning part which positions a position. That is, also in the binding tool fixing device that engages and releases the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion by an operation other than relative sliding, for the same reason as described above, A positioning unit that positions the relative position of the fixing device main body with respect to the binding tool in a state where the engagement is released is useful.

  Here, in the binding tool fixing device described above, the insertion device extends between the fixing device main body portion and the engagement portion along the insertion direction of the insertion portion into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. A flat surface portion, and a surface portion of the flat surface portion further includes a positioning flat surface portion formed along a sliding direction of the relative slide, and the engaging portion is the relative surface portion. When the slide is engaged with the file main body, the positioning flat surface portion includes a binding tool side positioning hole portion communicating with the fixing hole portion, and a file side positioning hole communicating with the file side hole portion. You may comprise so that it may be in the state inserted in the part.

  That is, in the binding tool fixing device, a positioning flat surface portion is provided between the fixing device main body portion and the engaging portion in addition to the insertion portion. Since the positioning flat surface portion is inserted into the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion in the engaged state of the engaging portion, the engaging portion is in the process of reaching the engaged state. The function of positioning the engaging portion is achieved. In particular, when the movable member is formed of a slide member, if the positioning flat portion is inserted into the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion according to relative sliding, It will perform the positioning function on the slide. In particular, it is preferable to determine the relative positional relationship of the positioning plane portion with respect to the binding tool side positioning hole portion and the file side positioning hole portion in order to position the relative slide in a direction crossing the sliding direction.

  Further, the pair of insertion portions may be chamfered at the corners of the tip portions in the direction of insertion with respect to the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion. According to this, when the pair of insertion portions are inserted into the fixing hole portion and the file side hole portion, even if the insertion portion comes into contact with them, the file body or the binding tool is damaged, or the insertion portion is damaged. It will be lost.

Further, the invention according to this supplementary note can be grasped from the side of the fixing method for fixing the binding tool to the file body. That is, the invention according to this supplementary note uses the fixing hole provided in the binding tool for binding documents and the like and the file side hole provided in the file main body to fix the binding tool on the file main body. An insertion portion provided on a movable member that is provided on a fixing device main body portion and is movable relative to the fixing device main body portion is inserted from the inside of the file main body to the fixing method. A first step of sequentially inserting into the hole and the file side hole, and in a state where the fixing device main body is disposed inside the file main body, the user moves the relative position with the fixing device main body. In order to perform the operation, an operation portion provided on the movable member is operated, and an engagement portion provided on the insertion portion and capable of engaging with and releasing the file main body is engaged with the file main body. First Including the step, the.

  Further, the invention according to the present supplementary note may be a molding die for manufacturing the binding tool fixing device. That is, the lock member of the binding tool fixing device according to any one of the above having a lock member is connected to the movable member and the non-connecting member which is at least one of the fixing device main body portion and the hinge connection portion. A molding die that is integrally molded so that, among the surfaces of the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state in which the rotational movement does not reach the gap, Of the first mold for forming the surface and the surfaces of the locking member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge connecting portion in a state that does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement, on the side opposite to the file body side A second mold for molding a surface, and the hinge is formed by injecting resin into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold. And said locking member and the non-connecting member in a state of being connected by connection portion may be integrally molded. The non-connecting member is any member connected to the lock member via the hinge connecting portion, and examples thereof include the movable member and the fixing device main body.

  When the lock member connected to the movable member or the fixed device main body via the hinge connection portion is integrally formed with the hinge connection portion and the movable member or the fixed device main body in one mold, the lock member is If it is integrally formed in a state where it is in contact with any one of the fixing device main body portions, the lock member will adhere to the movable member or the fixing device main body portion. Here, the molding surface of the mold is configured so that the lock member is not in contact with the movable member or the fixing device main body, in other words, the lock member is molded in the state where the lock member does not reach the gap due to the rotational movement. This makes it possible to prevent such adhesion. In this case, the lock member, the non-connecting member, and the hinge when the first mold and the second mold are rotated by approximately 90 degrees from the state where the lock member reaches the gap. If each surface of the connecting portion is molded, the separation of the first mold and the second mold can be facilitated.

  Further, the invention according to the present supplementary note may be a method for manufacturing a binding tool fixing device using the molding die. That is, a method for manufacturing a binding tool fixing device for manufacturing the lock member and the non-connecting member connected via the hinge connecting portion using the molding die, the first metal By injecting the resin into the mold formed by connecting the mold and the second mold, and separating the first mold and the second mold, A step of taking out the locking member and the non-connecting member connected by the non-connecting member formed in the mold.

According to this, by injecting resin into a mold formed by connecting the first mold and the second mold, and then separating these molds, via the hinge connection portion It is possible to integrally form the lock member to be connected and the non-connect member. In this manufacturing method, for example, a heat-melted resin may be poured into a mold, and after the resin is cured by cooling, the mold may be separated and a molded product may be taken out.
