Description

  The present invention relates to a clear file suitable for easily collecting documents, pamphlets, etc., and particularly relates to an improvement of a clear file that makes it easy to display the theme of contents.

  The clear file is a transparent front, two sheet-like panels on the back are connected by a back fold edge and a bottom edge, the remaining two sides are open edges, and the front and back panels are pocketed. Since it is extremely convenient when documents, pamphlets, etc. are simply collected in this pocket, it is widely used as a standard stationery and office supplies. Such a clear file is preferably provided with an index (heading) for confirming and organizing the contents according to the purpose of use, and various methods can be seen. For example, the same material is further welded to the clear file panel to form an index storage part, or a blank is removed from the raw sheet so that a part of the open edge of the panel sheet protrudes to form a heading flap. There is a technique such as.

  However, it has been pointed out that each of these methods is inconvenient in terms of actual usability or causes an increase in manufacturing cost. In other words, in the case where a separate material piece for heading is separately welded to the former clear file, the manufacturing process and necessary materials are increased accordingly, and an increase in manufacturing cost is inevitable. In addition, although the latter method for forming the heading flap does not increase the manufacturing process, when removing the blank from the raw sheet, it takes a lot of material removal by the protruding portion of the heading flap, and in the increased material portion The part other than the heading flap becomes a margin that is not used, and the cost increase in terms of material use cannot be avoided. In addition, although both are common, both the headline storage section and the headline flap are formed in advance in a specific portion of the clear file, and it is desirable to make it easy to search for each clear file by making the headline different. Even so, we cannot respond to such requests.

  Of course, Japanese Patent Application No. 63-49984 “File” is an application that discloses a method that does not take a separate material for forming the heading flap. However, this is a complicated pocket file that is premised on binding into a binder file, and has not been devised to improve the visibility of the heading flap.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-49984

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since the card body is further provided with the card holding portion, for example, a business card related to the contents or a card or the like on which necessary information is described can be held. It is possible to confirm the stored materials more clearly. And since this card | curd holding | maintenance part itself is comprised by the notch | incision of a panel main body, it can process by forming a slit-like notch | incision in the process of blank removal, and is not accompanied by an increase in manufacturing cost.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, the notch of the panel main body forming the card holding part is constituted by the insertion slit and the edge holding flap, and the holding dimension from the base holding edge of the edge holding flap is: The card can be stably held because it matches the opposite dimension of the card.

It is the partially broken perspective view which shows the use condition of the clear file of this invention, and also expands and shows a part. It is a horizontal sectional view which expands and shows a heading flap. It is a front view which expands and shows a card holding part. It is a top view which shows the manufacturing process of a clear file. It is a perspective view which shows the various Example of a heading flap. It is a top view which shows the method in the case of returning from the use state of a heading flap to a non-use state. It is explanatory drawing which shows the other method for returning another heading flap to a non-use state same as the above.

  The form for implementing this invention makes the Example described below a suitable form, and includes the various form which can be changed within the technical thought of this invention.

The clear file F of the present invention will be described below based on the illustrated embodiment.
The clear file F of the present invention is substantially the same as that described as the panel main body 1, and as a material, for example, a flexible transparent polypropylene material having a thickness of about 0.2 mm is used. The panel main body 1 includes a heading flap 2 and a card holding unit 3, and organizes and holds the stored material 4. The panel main body 1 includes a front panel 11 and a back panel 12, which are connected in a state where they are folded at the back folding edge 13, and are welded by an ultrasonic welder at the bottom edge 14. To form a closing edge 15. The remaining two sides are open edges 16, and as a result, the panel body 1 forms a pocket portion 17 between the front panel 11 and the back panel 12. The panel body 1 is formed with a decorative print 18 when it is used as a material for sales promotion, for example.

  Next, the heading flap 2 will be described. The heading flap 2 is not formed in a protruding state in the use start state, and can be formed as necessary. Specifically, as an example, a vertically long side-down trapezoidal weakening line 21 is formed at a portion along the back folding line 13 of the back panel 12 in the panel main body 1, and the weakening line 21 and the back folding line 13 are formed. The enclosed part is substantially the heading flap 2. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the weakening line 21 is a weakening in which, for example, the panel body 1 has a thickness of about 80 to 90% of the thickness of a polypropylene material having a thickness of 0.2 mm. A line 21 is formed. In use, the heading flap 2 is separated from the panel body 1 at the weakening line 21 by pushing it out with a fingertip or the like, and the resulting free peripheral edge 22 side is centered on the connection edge 23 with the back folding edge 13. The heading flap 2 is projected outside. The heading flap 2 is appropriately subjected to an opaque process 24. Specifically, the non-transparent treatment 24 is performed by so-called UV printing with ultraviolet curable ink using a printing process of the decorative printing 18 applied to the panel body 1. As the color tone, it is preferable to perform a milky white printing process, and in this embodiment, the inner surface of the back panel 12 is all processed by the same printing. Therefore, the back panel 12 is made opaque as a whole, and the texture of the entire clear file F can be improved. In addition, about the front panel 11, it is preferable that the transparent state is maintained except the part to which the decorative printing 18 is given.

  Next, the card holding unit 3 will be described. The card holding unit 3 is for holding a card 5 such as a business card, for example, and is cut into the front panel 11 of the panel body 1 as shown in FIGS. It is formed by putting. Specifically, a vertically long insertion slit 31 is formed near the corner of the closing edge 15, while an arcuate edge pressing flap 32 is formed so as to face the insertion slit 31. The slit effective dimension L <b> 1 of the insertion slit 31 of the card holding unit 3 is matched with the width dimension of the card 5. For example, when the card 5 is arranged horizontally, it is adapted to its vertical dimension. Further, a holding dimension L <b> 2 is defined between the base holding edge 33 of the edge pressing flap 32 and the back folding edge 13 of the closing edge 15. And this holding dimension L2 is comprised so that it may correspond with the longitudinal direction dimension of the said card | curd 5, ie, the opposite dimension of the card | curd 5 in a storage attitude | position.

  When storing the storage material 4 in such a clear file F, this is stored in the pocket portion 17 and used as in the conventional method. When the heading flap 2 is used, as shown in FIG. 2, the heading flap 2 is pushed from the back panel 12 as an example of the panel main body 1 with the weakening line 21 as a clue, and the free peripheral edge 22 is turned back. Protruding outward from the folding edge 13 and using this, an appropriate heading is provided. In providing the heading, of course, a label with an adhesive or the like may be attached separately, but it may be written with a felt pen or the like. At this time, the head flap 2 is subjected to the non-transparency processing 24, so that the characters are clearly displayed and the visibility is extremely excellent.

  When the card 5 such as a business card is inserted using the card holding unit 3, the card 5 is inserted into the insertion slit 31, and the end of the inserted card 5 is sufficiently inserted until it contacts the back folding edge 13. In this state, the edge pressing flap 32 is raised, and the other opposing edges of the card 5 are locked inwardly. When this is done, the card 5 moves in the horizontal direction because the holding dimension L2 formed by the base holding edge 33 and the back folding edge 13 is the same as the width dimension (opposite side dimension) in the storing posture of the card 5. Since the slit effective dimension L1 of the insertion slit 31 coincides with the vertical dimension of the card 5, the movement in that direction is also prevented and a reliable holding is achieved.

  In manufacturing such a clear file F, a decorative print 18 is applied to the original sheet S in advance as shown in FIG. Actually, it is also preferable to take several blank sheets 1B of each clear file F for each original fabric sheet S due to manufacturing cost and the like, and in this case, the decorative printing 18 is arranged in several places. Is given. The surface on which the decorative printing 18 is applied is preferably applied to the inner surface of the panel body 1 and the back panel 12, that is, the surface constituting the pocket portion 17 in the panel body 1. As a result, the decorative print 18 is obtained by the blank sheet 1 </ b> B itself in a vivid state as it is so-called clear. The decorative printing 18 itself is preferably performed by so-called UV printing in terms of manufacturing cost.

As shown in FIG. 4 this respect original sheet S that has been prepared in (b), the desired blank-up is made, a blank sheet 1B is obtained. When blanking is performed, the outer shape is processed so as to be cut with a cutting tool, and the insertion slit 31 and the edge pressing flap 32 forming the card holding portion 3 are similarly processed. Then, the heading flap 2 is not punched out, and is in a state of being punched out halfway, and a part of the heading flap 2 is left uncut and a so-called toe 21A is provided to form the weakening line 21. The back fold edge 13 is appropriately provided with a crease in advance. In this state, the blank sheet 1B is folded at the back fold edge 13 to form the front panel 11 and the back panel 12, and the bottom edge 14 is welded with an ultrasonic welder to this part. Connect.

  The configuration of the present invention is based on the above-described embodiment as a basic embodiment, but can further take the following configuration. First, the embodiment in which one heading flap 2 is formed in FIG. 1 or the like is shown in FIG. 1, but a plurality of heading flaps 2 can be provided as shown in FIG. In addition, when providing a plurality of locations, the size of the heading flap 2 may be the same as shown in FIG. 5A, or the size of the heading flap 2 may be changed as shown in FIG. 5B. . Further, the structure shown in FIG. 5C can be configured such that heading flaps 2 having different dimensions can be formed at the same location. The heading flap 2 can be provided on the back panel 12 of the panel body 1 or on the front panel 11 side. When the panel body 1 is provided on the front panel 11 side, for example, when the panel main body 1 is viewed from the front panel 11 side, the milky white UV printing that becomes the non-transparent treatment 24 is exposed, and as a result, the heading here The entry can be made with a slight roughness on the surface of the UV printing, for example, with a pencil.

  Further, when a large number of headline flaps 2 are provided in this way, a headline change or the like is expected for later use, or the headline flaps 2 need to be returned. In such a case, most practically, for example, for the clear file F, a flap return seal 6 for closing back is prepared as shown in FIG. Can be returned to. When such a flap return seal 6 is not bundled, for example, a flap return piece 26 as shown in FIG. 7 is provided at a position facing the heading flap 2, and the flap return piece 26 is similarly formed via a weakening line. It is also possible to maintain the return state by means such as inserting it into the return slit 27 provided on the heading flap 2 side.

  Furthermore, the card holding unit 3 can take various forms. That is, the insertion slit 31 in the card holding unit 3 is shown in FIG. 3 (a) as an example of the vertically long arrangement. However, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to take a form that is housed in a container. Further, the insertion slit 31 is not limited to the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and may be in a state where it is obliquely provided as shown in FIG. Even in this case, the entire length of the insertion slit 31 is not the slit effective dimension L1, but the height or horizontal dimension in the insertion direction is the slit effective dimension L1. And when the insertion slit 31 is formed diagonally in this way, if the two edge pressing flaps 32 are formed respectively in the horizontal direction or the upward direction, the card 5 can be placed in either the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. It can be held.
