Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file, and more particularly to a file having a heading piece capable of displaying the contents of a storage object such as various documents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a file capable of sequentially storing various documents between a pair of cover sheets via an appropriate binding tool. For this type of file, in addition to the file that can display the contents of the object to be stored directly on the surface of the spine cover, separate heading pieces are connected along the outer edge of the cover, and the contents of the object to be saved are connected to this. Files that can be displayed are known.

FIG. 6 shows a conventional example of a file in which some of the header pieces are connected to each other so as to project outward from the outer edge of the cover. In this figure, the file 50 includes a pair of cover sheets 51 having one end as a fixed end and the other end as a free end, and a heading piece 52 connected so as to straddle the fixed ends of the cover sheets 51. It is configured. In the vicinity of the fixed end of each cover 51, an insertion hole 55 extending in parallel with the fixed end is punched out. On the other hand, the heading piece 52 is configured such that a substantially square sheet material is bent at the center position so that both ends can be connected to the respective insertion holes 55, and concave notches 56 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the heading piece 52. Each is formed.

When the heading piece 52 is inserted into each of the insertion holes 55 of the cover sheet 51, the notches 56 can be engaged with both ends of the insertion hole 55, whereby the heading piece 52 is covered. The heading piece 52 can display the contents as a predetermined storage object.

[0005]

However, in such a file 50, the insertion hole 55 is a linear punching hole, and the insertion piece 55 has a heading piece 5 in it.
Because of the structure in which the two notches 56 are engaged, the vertical length L3 in the drawing at the insertion-side tip of the header piece 52 must be set longer than the length L4 of the insertion hole 55. Therefore, the heading piece 52 for the insertion hole 55
In order to enable the insertion of the heading piece 52, the heading piece 52 itself must be formed of an easily deformable material such as paper or a soft resin sheet, and the strength after connecting the heading piece 52 to the cover 51 is inevitable. There was an inconvenience that it became low.

[0006] Also, the heading piece 52 is picked and the file 50 is
When the whole is pulled out, only the heading piece 52 is inserted into the insertion hole 5 due to the strength problem of the heading piece 52.
There was also the inconvenience of getting out of 5. Therefore, in a state where a large number of files 50 are stored in a filing cabinet or the like, when taking out the files 50, the cover 51 itself has to be picked and pulled out, and the large number of files 50 are closely overlapped with each other and are stored in the cabinet. When stored, it sometimes made it difficult to retrieve files one by one.

In addition, in the conventional structure, two insertion holes 55 must be formed symmetrically in each cover 50, which not only complicates the structure but also is not suitable for a file having a relatively large thickness. However, it should have lacked versatility.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised by paying attention to the disadvantages of the conventional example, and an object thereof is to form a heading piece from a material having a certain strength as well as a heading display effect. Can be connected or attached to the cover without any difficulty, and after the connection, even if a pulling force is applied to the heading piece toward the outside, the heading piece is prevented from being separated from the cover and has a function as a pulling piece. Another object of the present invention is to provide a highly versatile file that can also simplify the structure of the cover portion that connects the heading pieces.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a pair of cover sheets having one end as a fixed end and the other end as a free end, and a display surface portion and a connecting surface portion. In a file comprising a piece, the display surface portion protruding from the outer edge of the cover in a state where the connecting surface portion is connected to a part of the cover sheet, the heading piece is formed of a hard material, and the heading piece is formed near the outer edge of the cover sheet. A substantially U-shaped cut is formed so that the piece can be inserted, and both left and right end portions of the connecting surface portion are provided so as to be engageable with both ends of the cut.

The inside area of the cut in the file is a tongue-shaped guide piece, and the guide piece is in surface contact with the heading piece in a state where the heading piece is connected to the cover. There is.

[0011]

When the heading piece is connected to the cover, the left and right ends of the connecting surface portion are pinched with fingers, and the heading piece is deformed into a bow by applying a force in the direction of sandwiching the heading piece. In this state, when the index piece is positioned between the cover sheets and the display surface portion is inserted into the cut, the display surface portion is projected to the outside of the cover sheet. Then, the heading piece can be connected to the cover sheet by further pushing in to the position where the left and right end portions of the connecting surface portion engage with both ends of the notch or by pulling out the protruding display surface portion from the outside.

A tongue-shaped guide piece comes into surface contact with the connected heading piece, and this guide piece applies an outward pressing force to the heading piece to maintain a constant frictional contact state. It Therefore, the connecting position of the heading piece is stably held, and it is possible to continuously maintain the easy-to-see position of the display surface portion.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of a file according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view thereof. In these figures, the file 10 is the file body 11
And the heading piece 12.

The file main body 11 is composed of a spine 15 in the form of an elongated piece, and a pair of covers 16 and 17 connected to both edges of the spine 15 in the width direction.
As a result, one end of the covers 16 and 17 on the spine cover 15 side is a fixed end, and the other end is a free end that can be opened and closed. Also, the file body 1
A binding tool (not shown), a bag, or the like is installed in the inside of 1,
It is provided so that it can hold various storage objects such as documents and floppy disks.

A U-shaped notch 20 for connecting the heading piece 12 is formed on the fixed end side of the cover sheet 16. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the notch 20 has a first notch portion 20A that is inclined so that the width gradually narrows from the fixed end of the cover 16 toward the free end.
And a second cutout portion 20B that horizontally connects the lower ends of these first cutout portions 20A in FIG. 1 in the horizontal direction. A part of the cover sheet 16 in the inner region of the cutout portions 20A and 20B is a headline. It is formed as a tongue-shaped guide piece 22 (see FIG. 3) for holding the piece 12 in a fixed posture.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heading piece 12 is composed of a connecting surface portion 25 which is an area connected to the cover sheet 16 and a display surface portion 26 which is connected to the connecting surface portion 25. The heading piece 12 is a hard plate-like body made of a suitable resin material such as vinyl chloride resin, but is made of a material having flexibility that allows it to be bent in a bow shape. Here, the boundary between the connecting surface portion 25 and the display surface portion 26 is formed so as to be slightly thin so as to be bent mutually. The connecting surface portion 25 has a shape similar to that of the tongue-shaped guide piece 22, and the guide piece 2
As shown in FIG. 4, it has a pair of left and right inclined portions 25A and a linear portion 25B, and is between the upper end of each inclined portion 25A in FIG. 4 and the display surface portion 26. Recesses 27 are formed in each of them. The dimension L1 in the left-right direction of the upper end of each inclined portion 25A is set to be larger than the dimension L2 between the upper ends of the first cut portions 20A. The heading piece 12 does not come out upward. The display surface portion 26 has a shape that is just the connection surface portion 25 inverted, and the area thereof is smaller than that of the connection surface portion 25, and is set to such an area that a certain character can be displayed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, when connecting the heading piece 12 to the cover 16, as shown in FIG. 2, the left and right ends of the connecting surface portion 25 of the heading piece 12 are pinched with fingers, and a force is applied in a direction to sandwich the heading piece. The piece 12 is deformed like a bow. Then, the heading piece 12 is inserted between the covers 16 and 17, and the display surface portion 26 is inserted into the above-described cut 20, and the display surface portion 26 is projected from the cut 20 to the outside of the cover 16. At the time of this insertion, the upper edge of the display surface portion 26 is in the second position.
If the cutting is performed in a direction oblique to the cut portion 20B, the smooth insertion can be performed.

In this manner, the display surface portion 26 is projected from the notch 20 and further pushed into the engaging position, or the protruding display surface portion 26 is pinched and pulled upward,
As described above, the dimension L1 between the upper and left ends of the inclined portion 25A is
Since the size is set to be larger than the dimension L2 between the upper ends of the first cut portion 20A, the upper end of the inclined portion 25A engages with the upper end of the cut portion 20A, and subsequent withdrawal is prevented, and the head is found at that position. The connection of the pieces 12 is completed. At this time, the guide piece 22 formed by the notch 20 is
It comes into contact with the inner surface side of the connecting surface portion 25, and a certain frictional contact force is generated between the contact surfaces of the two, so that the free movement of the heading piece 12 is restricted.

On the heading piece 12 after the above connection is completed, a predetermined display is directly written on the display surface portion 26,
By attaching a label with appropriate printing, it is attached to the subsequent file management. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of files 10 are superposed in a lateral series and stored in a filing cabinet (not shown). This makes it possible to see at a glance what is to be saved. Further, when the required file 10 is taken out, it is possible to take out only the file 10 by picking up the display surface portion 26 and pulling it upward.

Therefore, according to such an embodiment, since the notch 20 for connecting the heading pieces 12 is formed in a U shape, even if the heading pieces 12 are made of a hard material, the heading pieces 12 are still formed. There is an effect that a sufficient area for insertion can be secured by only slightly deforming it into a bow, and the heading piece 12 can be easily connected to the cover sheet 16. Moreover, after the connection is once completed, even if the display surface portion 26 is pulled, the both end portions of the connection surface portion 25, that is, the upper ends of the inclined portions 25A can be engaged with the upper ends of the first cuts 20A, so that it is formed of a hard material. In combination with what has been done, the heading piece 12 does not slip out of the cover sheet 11 at all, and the heading piece 12 can be used as a drawer piece as well as the display effect of the heading piece 12.
According to such an effect, as shown in FIG. 5, it becomes possible to extremely easily take out only the necessary file 10 in a mode in which a large number of files 10 are stored in series.

Further, a tongue-shaped guide piece 22 is formed in the inner region of the notch 20, and the guide piece 22 is connected to the connecting surface portion 2.
Since the structure of contacting the inner surface side of No. 5 is adopted, the heading piece 12
It is possible to always maintain a stable connection position of the head, and it is possible to prevent the heading piece 12 from falling in the direction opposite to the insertion direction in advance. Consequently, the easy-to-see display position of the display surface portion 26 is continuously maintained. Can be realized.

Further, since the notch 20 is provided only on the one cover 16, it is possible to surely simplify the structure as compared with the case where two notches are provided as in the conventional case, and it is relatively possible. It is expected to be applicable to various types of files with different thicknesses to further enhance its versatility.

In the above embodiment, the file main body 11 is illustrated and described as having the backstrip 15, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a file having no backstrip 15. is there.

The first notch 20A in the notch 20 is inclined so that the width becomes narrower from the fixed end of the cover 16 toward the free end, but the first notch 20A is fixed to the cover 16. The same operation can be performed by forming a straight cut from the end in the direction perpendicular to the edge.

The position of the notch 20 is not limited to the case where the notch 20 is provided along the fixed edge of the cover 16 as in the above-described embodiment, and the notch 20 is provided as long as the display surface 26 can be projected from the outer edge of the cover 16. There is no problem in properly changing the formation position of.

[0028]

The present invention is constructed as described above, and
According to this, according to this, even if the heading piece is formed of a material having a certain strength, the heading piece can be easily connected, and even if the heading piece is applied with a pulling force outward after the connection, It is possible to prevent the separation of the heads and to have the function as a drawer piece, and to improve the versatility while simplifying the structure of the cover part that connects the heading pieces, which is an unprecedented advantage. It is possible to provide a file that exerts the above effect.
