Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an indexing tool.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

As the performance of so-called OA equipment and office equipment such as copying machines, word processors, and computers improves,
It has become possible to create documents and files in-house without relying on specialized printing and bookbinding, and with the advancement of information technology, the volume and number of these documents and files (hereinafter referred to as "documents") tends to increase.

In order to facilitate searching of such documents, it is preferable to provide an index for each content or item, and index stickers with adhesive applied to the inner surface are generally used as a means for this purpose. However, this index sticker is unsightly because the heading part protrudes from the edge of the paper, and in addition, since this type of document is stored in a drawer, bookcase, or file case, it cannot be stored with other documents, books, etc. There have been problems with poor durability, such as staining due to contact with a wall or pressure, bending, or being cut off from the mount, making it difficult to perform a good indexing function.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a means with a simple structure that allows anyone to easily create a so-called negative index in which the heading section does not protrude from the edge of the document. The hand lever 2 includes a base 1 on which one or more sheets of paper are placed, and a hand lever 2 whose one end is pivotally attached to the base 1.
is provided with a holder 4b and an elastic paper presser 5 behind the holder 4b, a hollow blade 4a is replaceably attached to the holder 4b by means of a fixing element 42, and a corresponding hand is provided within the attachment range of the holder 4b. The lever 2 is provided with a hole 43 for pushing out the paper strip.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the index making tool according to the present invention, in which 1 is a base, which has a length and width sufficient to place the required area of paper on which an index is to be formed; A slope 10 for a guide is formed at the rear end, and a rising portion 11 for a hinge is formed at the rear end.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a hand lever, which is pivotally attached to the rising portion 11 by a pivot 20 and is always urged toward the open side by a spring 21.

Reference numeral 3 designates a stopper for adjusting the position of the leading edge of the paper, which is arranged on the base 1, and may have a fixed structure, but preferably, for example, the lower half of the stopper fits into a groove formed in the base.
It is configured to be movable using a spring and ratchet mechanism.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a cutting die for forming an index provided on the lower surface of the hand lever 2, and the cross section of the blade has a shape other than a perfect circle. In this embodiment, when viewed from above, the tip has a curved part 40 and both sides have straight parts 41, 4.
1, and a holder 4b whose cross-sectional shape matches the hollow blade body 4a, which is fixed to the hand lever 2 by adhesive, welding, etc.
The hollow blade body 4a is replaceably attached to the holder 4b by a fixing element 42 such as a thumbscrew. The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 12 for the cutting die 4. In addition, the straight parts 41, 41 of the hollow blade body 4a
has a relief angle of angle α as shown in FIG.

At the hand lever part corresponding to the attachment contour of the holder 4b, insert the cut out piece of paper into the hollow blade body 4.
Hole 4 for pushing out a piece of paper to remove from inside a
3 is provided, but instead of this, a hollow blade body 4 is provided.
A retractable stripper may be installed inside a.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a paper presser provided closer to the free end of the hand lever than the cutting die 4, and includes a protrusion 5a having a press surface 50 with a high friction coefficient such as rubber, and a case 5b for holding the protrusion so that it can be retracted. Preparation, case 5
A spring 5c that biases the protrusion 5a is built into the spring 5c.

The cross-sectional shape of the cutting die 4 is not limited to the embodiment. That is, the point is that it is sufficient to form an open contour, or in other words, a notch, at the edge of the document. Therefore, the cross section may be oval, rectangular, or triangular.

[Operation of the Embodiment] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, when creating an index for documents 6 bound in left-hand binding, the pages to be indexed as shown in FIG. From 60 to the cover side, for example, table of contents page 61
The required pages 62 to reach the page 62 are gathered together and loaded into the base 1 until the leading edge of the paper contacts the stopper 3.
If the number of characters or symbols constituting the index is large, the stopper 3 is moved as appropriate to adjust its position.

Next, the hand lever 2 is pushed down against the elasticity of the spring 21. In this way, the cutting die 4 and the paper presser 5 are lowered, and at this time, the paper presser 5 is lowered before the cutting die contacts the front paper of the required page 62 (Table of Contents page 61 in the illustrated example).
are in contact with each other, and due to the elasticity of the spring 5c, the base 1
Press to the side. Therefore, paper slippage does not occur even if the length of loading into the base 1 is long, and in this state, the edge portion of the required page 62 is continuously cut out with the cutting die 4.
A notch 63 with an open profile is formed. Then, all that is left to do is to place an index display 64 of desired symbols, characters, etc. on the page 60 corresponding to the bottom of the notch 63, and perform the same operations for each item or content while shifting the position, as shown in Fig. 5b. You can create the index you need.

The resulting index does not protrude from the outer edge and retains the original shape of the document, so it has an extremely good appearance and appearance, and can be stored in a drawer, archive, or file case. There is no need to worry about the index part getting dirty, caught, or damaged by contact.

It goes without saying that the present invention can also be used as an index forming means for purchased books, magazines, etc.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention described above, a base 1 on which one or more sheets of paper to form an index is placed;
and a hand lever 2 whose one end is pivotally attached to a base 1.The base 1 is provided with a stopper 3 for regulating the position of the leading edge of the paper. paper presser 5
The hollow blade body 4a is replaceably attached to the holder 4b by a fixing element 42, and a hole 43 for pushing out the cut paper piece is provided in a portion of the hand lever 2 corresponding to the attachment range of the holder 4b. A minus-shaped index that does not protrude outward from the edges of bound documents can be created extremely easily and accurately. Moreover, the hollow blade body 4a
Therefore, the cutting edge becomes sharp and can cut into a tight outline, and the hollow blade body 4
Since a also serves as a storage section for cut-out paper pieces, there is no need to provide a cut-out piece reservoir on the base 1 side, and the mechanism can be simplified and made thinner. It can be easily removed by inserting. Furthermore, since the hollow blade body 4a can be taken out from the holder 4b by the fixing element 42, it is possible not only to replace it when it wears out, but also to change the hollow blade body 4a with a different shape, making it possible to freely form a wide variety of indexes. You can get excellent results such as:
