Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a notebook with a pen holder attached to various notebooks. Notes in the present invention include, for example, desk ledgers, diaries, large record books, address books, and small bags that can be opened and closed with zippers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, notebooks that are relatively large and can be used for a long time, such as address books and desk ledgers, generally have
Some devices are equipped with a pen holder, and have a structure as shown in FIG. 4 or 5.

That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the notebook has a receiving part 3 of the universal joint 2 of the pen holder 1 attached to the outer corner of the inside surface of the thick plate of the back cover, and the holder part 3 of the universal joint 2 of the pen holder 1 is inserted from the front side of the back cover. It is fixed with a book bolt 4, and a ball rod 5 is rotatably connected to the receiving part 3 by drawing, and a holder 6 is attached to the other end of the ball rod 5, and a ballpoint pen, etc. When not in use, the ball rod 5 is folded down so that it is positioned exactly within the thickness of the notebook between the front and back thick plates. The corners of the back cover and corner reinforcing metal fittings are each attached independently.

The basic structure shown in FIG. 5 is the same as that shown in FIG. Not only the receiving part 3
A spring 10 is placed inside, and its urging force elastically presses the ball of the ball rod 5, so that it can always swing smoothly. The reinforcing metal fittings at the corners of the back cover are each attached independently. However, the receiving part 3
There is a means of fixing it to the thick plate on the back cover of the notebook.
There was no difference in that real bolts (screws) 4 were used.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When using the pen holder 1 with the above structure, each time you open or close a notebook, you not only have to put it up or down, but also frequently swing it freely with the ball part of the ball rod 5 to make it easier to use. The holder 6 can be used by freely changing the orientation of the holder 6.

However, the receiving part 3 for receiving the ball rod 5
Since it is fixed to the thick plate of the back cover with a single bolt or screw 4, the screw often loosens and immediately becomes loose and falls off.

This is largely due to the fact that the direction of force when moving the holder 6 is applied not only in the axial direction of the fixing screw 4 but also in a direction orthogonal to this axial direction.

In order to prevent the setscrews 4 from loosening as much as possible, it is conceivable to make the base of the receiving part 3 large and to fix it to the thick plate of the back cover with a plurality of screws. If this is done, the receiving portion 3 will become large and heavy, which is undesirable from a design standpoint.Furthermore, the loosening of the screw due to the force applied in the axial direction of the screw and in the direction perpendicular thereto will cause Although the use of screws solves the problem a little, it is not a fundamental solution to the problem.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the notebook with a pen holder according to the present invention has a corner metal fitting 7 provided at the corner of the front or back cover of the notebook 8, which is approximately U-shaped in cross section so as to sandwich the corner of the cover. The corner fitting 7 is configured to have a holding surface 7' in a plan view, and a receiving portion 3 of the pen holder 1 is attached to the inner side of the front or back cover of the square fitting 7.
is integrally formed, and the square metal fitting 7 is fixed to the cover of the notebook 8 by at least one screw 4 from the outside of the front or back cover of the square metal fitting 7.

[Effect]

That is, the receiving part 3 of the pen holder 1 is connected to the notebook 8.
The corner metal fitting 7 that should originally be provided at the corner of the front or back cover of is improved so that it can hold the corner of the front or back cover, and the receiving part 3 of the pen holder 1 is integrally formed thereon, so that it can be attached to a bolt or screw. By fixing it in this manner, when using the pen holder 1, not only the axial direction of the screw, which is caused by frequently swinging the pen holder 1 itself at the receiving part 3 (universal joint), but also the axial center. The force acting in the direction perpendicular to the square bracket 7 is received by the corner portion of the cover by the approximately U-shaped shape of the square fitting 7 and the clamping surface 7', thereby preventing the screw from loosening as much as possible.

Furthermore, metal fatigue caused by the force applied to the screw is reduced, and the screw is prevented from breaking.

Moreover, since the above-mentioned effect is achieved by using the originally used square fitting 7, the number of parts does not need to be increased and manufacturing is easy.

〔Example〕

Fig. 1 shows the state of use of a notebook 8 with a pen holder according to the present invention, and 1 is a pen holder made of metal, plastic, or leather into a cylindrical shape, and has a writing instrument such as a ballpoint pen at one end. A ball rod 5 is attached to the other end. A ball serving as the universal joint 2 is formed at the tip of the ball rod 5.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a receiving portion, which forms a universal joint 2 with the ball rod 5, is configured to hold the ball by drawing, and is provided at a corner of the thick plate on the back cover of the notebook 8. It is integrally molded with the corner metal fitting 7. As shown in FIG. 2, this square metal fitting 7 is different from other square metal fittings 11 that protect the corners and edges of conventional notebooks, and is large in size and has a U-shape in cross section.
It has a substantially triangular shape having a clamping surface 7' in plan view, and is fitted so as to sandwich the right shoulder corner of the back cover of the notebook 8. It is fixed through bolt 4 of the book. In this way, by configuring the corner fitting 7 into a substantially triangular shape with a large surface in plan view, it not only provides sufficient protection to the corners of the notebook 8;
Not only can it demonstrate great clamping force, but if it is gold-plated, it becomes a major design point and the finish is beautiful. 9 is a fastener for closing the notebook 8 into a bag shape.

With the above structure, when in use, the notebook 8 is opened by pulling the fastener 9, the ball rod 5 is erected by the universal joint 2, and the pen holder 1 is used.

The square fitting 7 may be made of a material other than metal, for example, a hard synthetic resin, and may be integrated with the receiving portion 3 by die-casting, or by welding or brazing the receiving portion 3. It may also be .

Furthermore, one side (inner side) of the notebook 7 may be formed into a substantially triangular shape, and the outside side may have a narrow shape along the side edge of the notebook 8.

Further, although an example is shown in which two bolts 4 are used, at least one bolt 4 is sufficient, and a so-called headless screw type may also be used.

Further, a spring may be inserted into the receiving portion 3 to elastically bias the balls of the ball rod 5 so that the universal joint 2 can rotate more smoothly.

The present invention can be applied to notes with various structures as defined above.

[Effect of idea]

The notebook with a pen holder according to the present invention has the advantage that, compared to conventional pen holders, it is possible to reduce as much as possible the possibility of attachment and detachment due to loosening of the screws, or the possibility of the screws breaking, thereby providing a notebook with a pen holder that can withstand long-term use.

The above effects are achieved by using the square metal fittings 7 that are originally used, so there is no need to increase the number of parts, the manufacturing is easy, and there is also the advantage that it leads to cost reduction. .
