Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to files, and more particularly to files in which sheets having binding holes are waterlined using a provided binding device to organize and store them.

(Description of Prior Art) So-called clear holders made of synthetic resin materials, such as polypropylene, have conventionally been provided together with file covers and sheets to be filed.

This conventional clear holder can be roughly divided into two types: a fixed type and a replaceable type. In the sheet fixed type, the sheet is fixed to the file cover by caulking or welding by ultrasonic processing. Further, in the sheet exchange type, for example, a file cover is provided with a metal binding tool having a ring-shaped opening/closing part, and the sheets are bound by passing this openable/closable ring-shaped part through a hole in the sheet.

In the fixed sheet type, the file cover and the sheets are welded together, so there is no need for a separate binding device, but it is not possible to insert or remove the sheets midway or add them. On the other hand, with replaceable sheets, sheets can be added by inserting and removing sheets as needed, but most of them have complicated structures, resulting in high costs, and the operations for engaging and disengaging from binding holes are complicated.

(Object of the invention) Therefore, the object of this invention is to
To provide a file that allows easy insertion/removal or addition of sheets to be filed.

(Summary of the Invention) In terms of an hour wheel, the present invention includes a locking member attached to a band-shaped member extending in the height direction of the file cover and made bendable at the end in the height direction; The locking members that can be engaged are attached at intervals, and when the above-mentioned band member is bent, at least one of the locking member and the locking member is inserted into the binding hole of the sheet. ,
This is a file in which the sheets are inserted into the binding hole and held together on one main surface side of the file cover to be bound to the file cover.

The above objects and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings.

(Description of Embodiment) FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. File IO according to this embodiment is at least 1
This is a method for releasably binding sheets having two binding holes. This file IO includes a file cover 12. The file cover 12 may have various shapes and forms. In this embodiment, the file cover 12 is the front cover 14. It includes each part of the spine I6 and the back cover I8. The respective parts 14.16 and 18 are made bendable relative to each other via fold lines 20a, 20b which separate them, so that these parts 14.16 and 18 can be unfolded or folded in two.

This file 0 is the spine I of the file cover 12 mentioned above.
At position 6, four locking members 22.22. ...
is provided. More specifically, the respective locking members 22 are formed at intervals in the extending direction on a band-like member 24 attached to one main surface of the file cover I2. This strip member 24 extends in the direction of the height l of the file cover 12 and is bendable near the ends 17, 17 of the spine cover 16 in the height direction.

The above-mentioned "height" of the file cover 12 is the definition adopted by the Japanese Industrial Standards (J'lS) or the Japan File and Binder Association (FBA) standards for so-called files and binders. The direction perpendicular to this height direction is the "width".

Further, in this embodiment, four locking members are provided for binding sheets having four holes. just,
If a file sheet is to be bound which has only one binding hole, only one locking member would be provided. This also applies to the number of locked members, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the locking member 22 includes a female member formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, and the locked member 26 includes a columnar male member that fits into the hollow portion of the locking member.

As can be clearly seen from FIG. 2, the file IO includes respective locking members 22, 22.
Four locked members 26, 2 that removably engage with...
6. ... will be established. That is, like the respective locking members 22, the respective locked members 26 are provided on the band-shaped member 24 at intervals in the direction in which the locking members 26 extend.

In this case, the position where each locked member 26 is provided is the third
As is clear from the drawings and FIG. 4, a portion 30 of the band-shaped member 24 is extended with the bendable bending portion 28 as a boundary.
(hereinafter referred to as the second part). This locked member 26 is provided at a location where it can engage with the locking member 22 in a state where the second portion 30 of the band-shaped member 24 is bent in the direction of arrow X. The first part 3 for this second part 30
2 will be explained. This first portion 32 is connected to the locking member 2
2 is provided, that is, the part of the strip member 24 attached to one main surface of the file cover 12.

Note that the belt-like member 24 in this embodiment is attached to the file cover 1.
2 is used, which includes two second portions 30 and 30 extending from the bent portions 28 provided correspondingly to both ends thereof in the height l direction. However, if necessary, the second part 3
A single 0 is also used which is bent at one end and directed towards the other end. The belt-like member 24 is molded mainly from a flexible synthetic resin material such as polypropylene, and the bendable bending portion 2 of the belt-like member 24 is made of a flexible synthetic resin material such as polypropylene.
8 has two grooves 34 cut in a substantially V-shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 in parallel. This bent portion 28 is formed into a so-called hinge shape that can be bent into a rectangular shape with two grooves 34. If the above-mentioned file cover 12 is also molded using the above-mentioned polypropylene as its main material, attachment of the band-like part +A24 to this file cover 12 can be performed not only by simple caulking but also by ultrasonic welding. . Note that a grip portion 42 is formed at the end of the second portion 30 of the band member 24 so as to be bendable via a V-shaped groove 43. This gripping portion 42 is attached to this second portion 30
This is advantageously used when pulling up in the direction of arrow Y to release the engagement between the locking member 22 and the locked portion JfA 26 described above.

Moreover, the locking member 22 and the locked member 26 are attached to the band-shaped portion JA24.
and may be provided at positions opposite to those described above. In such a case, the locked member 26 is inserted into the binding hole of the sheet.

Next, a specific usage example of the file 10 described in the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. On one main surface side of the file cover 12, the first
Each locking portion 22 provided in the portion 32 is inserted into each binding hole 40 formed in the central portion 38 of the sheet 36. This sheet 36 has transparent pockets (not shown) on both sides of the spread, and paper and the like to be stored are stored in the pockets.

In this way, at least one of the locking member 22 and the locked member 26 (the locking member 22 in this embodiment) is inserted into the binding hole 40 of the sheet 36, and the second portion 30 of the two-band member 24 is As shown by the arrow X in FIG.
are engaged with each other. In this way, the sheet 36 can be easily bound to the file cover 12.

In this way, since the band-like member that directly covers the sheet is extended in the height direction of the file cover, even when binding left and right facing sheets, the center part of the sheet is The binding tool located at the top will not get in the way and will allow for an extremely flat opening. Therefore, it becomes easier to see photographs, recording paper, etc. loaded on the sheet.

Moreover, the engagement or removal of the locking member provided on the band-shaped member and the locked member coincide with the bending direction of the band-shaped member. Particularly, when the end of the strip member is pulled to release the engagement, the force for disengaging the first engagement remains intact and is added to the force for disengaging the next engagement. Therefore, once the end of the band-shaped member is pulled, the engagement between the locking portion and the locked portions 4 can be released one after another without any difficulty.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, a hole 116 is formed in the spine 16 of the file cover 12 described above.

The locking member 22 is inserted into each hole 116. That is, the locking portion JfA22 extends through the hole 116 from the other main surface side of the file cover 12, ie, the front side of the file, to the one main surface side, ie, the back side of the file.

Since this locking member 22 is provided on the first portion 32 of the strip member 24, in this embodiment, the first portion 32 can be inserted in the same manner as in the previous embodiment or by a detachable fitting method. It is attached to the other main surface side of the file cover 12. Furthermore, the second portion 30 of the band-like member 24 provided with the locked member 26 that engages with the locking member 22 is connected to the back side of the file cover 12 through the bendable bending portion 28. is extended towards the spelling side. Therefore,
The sheets are placed on one main surface of the file cover 12 and bound in the same way as in the previous embodiment. In particular, in this embodiment, since the file cover 12 and the member 11) can be removably engaged, the band member 24 can also be replaced as appropriate depending on the number of sheets to be bound or the deformation of the binding holes. and can be used.

Further, the above-mentioned gripping portion 42 is also included in the belt-shaped member 24 of this embodiment.
will be provided as necessary.

As mentioned above, in this example, file cover 1

Accordingly, the strip 24 preferably has a folded portion 128, as shown in FIG. 7, modified compared to the folded portion 28 shown in FIG. That is, the portion 117 where the edge of the file cover 12 abuts when the locking member 22 is inserted into the hole 116 of the file cover 12 does not need to be bendable, so it has a fixed structure without a hinge structure. The bending portion 128 has a hinge structure having one V-shaped groove 43.

Furthermore, a protrusion 129 for locking the edge of the file cover 12 is provided at the bent portion 128 of the band member 24 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. This protrusion 129 comes into contact with the edge of the file cover 12, which is likely to be twisted or warped during handling, and prevents twisting or warping.

The materials used for each part and each member included in this invention, including the sheet used, are not particularly limited. As for the manufacturing method, integral molding is employed when the main material is a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene which has excellent flexibility as described above.
