[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the document binding device of the present invention comprises a binding device main body having an inclined surface on which a document binding file is placed, and a document feeder for holding a plurality of documents in an inclined manner. The stapler body includes a locking portion for temporarily fixing the file on the inclined surface, and a document inclination alignment portion including the inclined surface and a wall surface standing upright from the inclined surface. The document feeder holds a document holding unit including a fixed plate that contacts one surface of the document and a movable plate that can move forward and backward with respect to the fixed plate, and presses the movable plate toward the fixed plate. And elastic means.

In the present invention, the documents that are aligned and held by the document feeder are fed toward the inclined surface of the stapler body, and the document is fed to the inclined surface of the stapler body in the vicinity of the locking portion. It is preferable to provide a guide part for guiding the body toward the inclined surface.

A file is placed on the inclined surface of the main body of the stapler in an unfolded state. However, in order to stabilize and place the file, it is preferable to provide a cover holder for the file on the inclined surface. Not good.

The inclined surface of the main body of the stapler aligns documents at an optimal inclination angle and supplies them to the adhesive surface of a file, and the inclination angle (upward inclination angle with respect to the horizontal plane) is, for example, 10 ° to 50 °. The range of ° is preferably about 30 °. In this case, in order to effectively use the space below the inclined surface of the stapler main body, it is better to form a storage space in the stapler main body and to slidably install the drawer for storing small items in the storage space.

It comprises a cover holder 19 for preventing the curling up and a drawer 21 for accommodating small articles slidably mounted in a storage space 20 formed below the inclined surface 11. A document feeder 30 can be housed in the drawer 21, for example. A positioning guide 22 for facilitating the setting of the file 1 is provided on the side of the inclined surface 11 of the stapler body 10.

In this case, the locking portion 13 is formed of a steel plate member that is installed between the side walls 12 and 12 with a gap between the inclined surface 11 and the cover 2 of the file 1 to be inserted. At the upper end of the inclined surface of the locking portion, there is provided a serrated protrusion 13a for locking the pressure sensitive adhesive 4 formed on the spine 3 of the file 1, and the pressure sensitive adhesive 4 is bonded to the locking portion 13. It is considered not to do so (see Fig. 3). The locking portion 13 does not necessarily have to be made of steel having the serrated projection 13a, and may be a flat plate made of plastic such as Teflon (trade name) which is hard to have the adhesive 4.

Further, the document slanting and aligning portion 15 has a predetermined angle with respect to the end face of the document to be held by the document feeder 30, that is, the sticking side end face of the photograph 5, that is, the slanting angle θ of the slanting face 11 is preferably 10 ° to 50 °. It is composed of an inclined surface 11 that is aligned front and back and a wall surface 14 that guides the surface of the document supply body 30. In this case, it is preferable to provide chamfered portions 14a at both upper ends of the wall surface 14 because it is possible to perform the tilt alignment of the photograph 5 without being caught by a hand.

The cover holder 19 is formed of, for example, a plastic wire rod in which spheres are continuously connected. As shown in FIG. 2, the storage space 20 is partitioned by a partition plate 23 in accordance with the insertion space of the drawer 21, and the outer surface side is blinded by a decorative plate 24.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the document feeder 30 includes a fixed plate 31 that abuts on one side of the photograph 5 and a movable plate 32 that can move forward and backward with respect to the fixed plate 31. A document holding and holding section 33, a leaf spring 34 made of plastic which is an elastic means for pressing the movable plate 32 toward the fixed plate side, a side end aligning surface 35 for aligning the side end surfaces of the photograph 5, and a side end. The cushioning member 36 is attached to the outer side surface of the alignment surface 35.

In this case, the fixed plate 31 is erected on one end of a pair of side plates 37, 37 having a lower end surface having an inclination angle corresponding to the inclined surface 11 of the stapler body 10, and the inner surface of the fixed plate 31. A sheet-shaped flexible member 38 made of vinyl chloride that is fixedly attached to the fixing plate 31 extends to the front side of the fixing plate 31, and a pressing horizontal plate 39 is fixed to the outer surface of the flexible member 38 near the fixing plate. At the same time, the movable plate 32 is fixed to the outer surface of the distal end of the flexible member 38. Therefore, the flexible member 38 enables the movable plate 32 to move back and forth with respect to the fixed plate 31. In this case, the fixed plate 31, the pressing horizontal plate 39, and the movable plate 32 are each made of a transparent plastic plate material such as polypropylene or acrylic resin, and the lower end of the movable plate 32 is the lower end of the fixed plate 31. It is positioned so as to be aligned with the lower end of the fixed plate 31 as much as possible within a range that does not project further. The reason why the movable plate 32 is aligned with the lower end of the fixed plate 31 in this way is to prevent the photographs 5 from being bent when the photographs 5 are arranged in an inclined manner when the number of photographs 5 is small. is there. In this case, it is most preferable that the length of the movable plate 32 to the tip is approximately the same as the length of the fixed plate 31, but even if the length is a little shorter, the length of the movable plate 32 is smaller than that of the fixed plate 31. The range may be at least 2/3 or more. The inner surface of one of the side plates 37, 37 forms the side end alignment surface 35 of the photograph 5, and two circular plate-shaped cushioning members 36, 36 such as felt are attached to the outer surface of the side plate 37. Has been done. This buffer member 36 is placed on the side edge aligning surface 35 side with the document feeder 30 sideways when aligning the side edges of the photograph 5 inserted between the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32 of the document holding and holding unit 33. 5 is biased to reduce the impact when the outer surface of the side plate 37 is intermittently pressed against a fixed surface such as a table. A guide projection 37a slidably fitted in the guide groove 17 of the guide portion 18 of the stapler body 10 is provided on the outer surface of each of the side plates 37, 37.

Further, the leaf spring 34 is formed of a plastic plate material having a dimension longer than the distance between the side plates 37, 37, and both ends thereof are respectively provided with the hinges 40 to form the side plates 37, 37. It is installed between the side plates 37 in the state of being attached to the movable plate 32 and can be switched between the pressing position and the non-pressing position of the movable plate 32 at the dead point. Therefore, when not in use, that is, when the photograph 5 is not held, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, it protrudes outward in a curved shape, and when it is used, that is, when the photograph 5 is held while being held, As shown in FIG. 5, the movable plate 32 can be pressed inward toward the fixed plate 31 by bending inwardly. In this case, the pressing force of the leaf spring 34 needs to be within a range in which the photograph 5 held in the document holding and holding unit 33 does not fall off due to its own weight, and the photograph 5 is displaced against the pressing force of the leaf spring 34. There is. A knob 41 is provided on the middle portion of the leaf spring 34 so as to project therefrom.

Next, an operation procedure for binding the photograph 5 into the file 1 using the document binding device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

First, the file 1 for stitching the photograph 5 is developed, the release paper 6 attached to the surface of the adhesive 4 is peeled off (see FIG. 6), and the file 1 is placed on the inclined surface 11 of the stapler body 10. It is placed and temporarily fixed by the locking portion 13. At this time, the cover 2 of the file 1 is prevented from being rolled up by the cover holder 19. Next, the photographs 5 are bundled and inserted between the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32 of the document feeder 30 and are biased toward the side edge alignment surface 35 side to align the side edges of the photograph 5 and then the document feeder 30 is removed. Along the wall surface of the document tilt aligning portion 15 of the stapler body 10, the end surface of the adhesive side of the photograph 5 is intermittently pressed against the inclined surface 11 to be inclined along the inclined surface 11 (see FIG. 7). .. In this state, the photograph 5 is held by the pressing force of the leaf spring 34.

Next, the document supply body 30 is moved to the position of the guide portion 18 of the stapler body 10, and the document supply body 30 is placed along the guide groove 17 and the guide plate 16 on the adhesive 4 surface of the file 1. Then, the pressure is applied evenly to the pressing horizontal plate 39 to press the adhesive side end surface of the photograph 5 against the adhesive 4 to attach the photograph 5 (see FIG. 8). Then, after attaching the photo 5 to the adhesive 4 of the file 1, the leaf spring 34 is released from the pressure, the document feeder 30 is removed from the photo 5, and the file 1 is pulled out from the stapler body 10. For example, the photo 5 can be stitched on the file 1 (see FIG. 9). At this time, since the guide plate 16 of the guide portion 18 can prevent the photograph 5 from falling down to the front side, the attached photograph 5 is not peeled off from the adhesive 4.

In the above embodiment, the case where the photograph 5 is spelled in a file such as an album has been described, but it is possible to spell in a business card other than the photograph, a card, or a document such as a catalog in the same manner. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the document is spelled in the file having the adhesive has been described, but the file does not necessarily have to have the adhesive, and for example, the spine of the file coated with the thermoplastic adhesive is spelled. For a bookbinding machine, etc., which is placed on the inclined surface 11 of the container body 10 and the document is pressed against the thermoplastic adhesive of the file to melt the thermoplastic adhesive by the heating means to adhere the document.
