Description

The utility model relates to office equipment and can be used for stitching various archival and other documents of long-term storage.

Common means for storing collections of documents are registrars (binder) of various designs, in particular registrars in which documents are put with their pre-prepared holes on rings or pins of the stringing mechanism, see, for example, [1] - RU No. 2039666 (C1), B 42 F 13/12, 07.20.1995; [2] - DE No. 2415591 (A1), B 42 F 13/12, 10.16.1975;

[3] - US No. 6261020 (B1), B 42 F 13/40, 07.17.2001; [4] - US No. 6705793 (B2), B 42 F 3/00, B 42 F 13/40, 16.03.2004. The preparation of documents for filing in such registrars consists in punching sheets of documents, as a rule, using hand punchers of various designs, see, for example, [5] - US No. 5005485, B 26 D 1/12, 04/09/1991; [6] - US No. 3859726, B 26 F 1/32, 01/14/1975; [7] - US No. 4713995, B 26 F 1/02, 12/22/1987; [8] - US No. 4466322, B 26 F 1/02, 08.21.1984; [9] - US No. 23228558, C1.164-91, September 7, 1943; [10] - US No. 3073199, C1.83-549, 01/15/1963. Using these tools is very convenient for creating current archives, since they provide the ability to quickly add or replace documents in a selection of documents.

As a rule, registrars are not used for filing archival and other documents subject to long-term storage. Registrars are also not applicable in cases where, under the storage conditions, unauthorized extraction or addition of individual documents in the binder of documents is not allowed. In these cases, it is used, for example, to staple documents by stapling them into a single unit with a flexible stapling element, for example, a thread or cord, followed by sealing or sealing.

Among the technical means used for stitching by stitching, it is known, for example, a device for stitching archival and other documents of long storage, described in [11] - RU No. 2122947 (C1), B 42 B 2/10, 10.12.1998.

The device described in [11I] has a bed on which a movable carriage with a drive, a drilling mechanism with a drive and a stitching mechanism with

drive, as well as a removable container for stitched document block. The container has a box shape and contains a clamping device for fixing the sheets of the document block. In the container in the area of the spine of the document block there are holes designed to allow drills and needles of drilling and stitching mechanisms to pass through them, which, respectively, drill holes in the document block and drag the loops of the flexible stitching element through these holes. Drills of the drilling mechanism are hollow, located in one horizontal row, their number corresponds to the number of holes made in the document block. Drills are fixed in chucks, the simultaneous rotation of which is ensured by an appropriate drive. The needles of the stitching mechanism are made with a hook at the end and placed opposite to the drills in the chucks, rotated by the corresponding drive 90 ° around its axis. In the working position, the container with the document block is located on a movable carriage, which has the ability to move with its appropriate drive from its initial position, first to the drills, then to the needles, then to the starting position. The starting position of the carriage is the middle position between the drills and needles. A flexible stitching element is stored on the spool of the stitching mechanism. To pull the end of the flexible stitching element through the loops elongated with needles through the drilled holes in the document block, a separate technological hook is provided.

The booklet of documents using the device [11] is as follows. Separately and outside the device, a block of documents to be stitched is formed and aligned at the edges. This block is placed in a container where it is fixed with a clamping device. The container is mounted on the carriage. The drill rotation drive and the carriage drive are turned on, moving the carriage in the direction of the drills that drill holes in the document block. After that, under the action of the drive control mechanism, the carriage moves towards the needles so that the needles pass through the holes in the document block, after which the carriage stops, making it possible for the flexible stapling element to pass through the needle hooks. Then the carriage moves to its original position, while the needles are pulled through the holes in the document block of the loop of the flexible stitching element. Then a technological hook is passed through all these loops to capture the last loop, after which the needles rotate 90 ° around their axes, dropping the loops from their ends. Captured by technological

the hook end of the flexible stitching element is pulled through the loops, tightening them. After that, the ends of the flexible stitching element are bonded, trimmed and sealed.

The advantage of the device [11] is the ability to mechanize the process of stitching, which increases labor productivity. The disadvantage is the complexity of the structural implementation of the device, cumbersomeness, noise, and the presence of a drive system requires systematic maintenance. For these reasons, the use of this device is advisable in conditions of large archives with a large flow of booklet documents.

To stitch single archival files, you can use the simplest device for stitching, for example, the type described in [12] - SU No. 18725 (A1), B 42 V 2/10 (11 a, 10), 01/31/1931. This device consists of upper and lower pivotally connected strips with cutouts for indicating the places of puncture of paper, while the lower bar is made in the form of a tray with sides. The device includes an awl equipped with an eye with a side slot. In the process of binding, sheets of files to be filed are placed on the lower bar, aligned at the edges and clamped by the upper bar. Then, these sheets are pierced through the cutouts in the planks with an awl with a flexible stitching element inserted into his ear - a thread or cord. With this flexible stitching element, sheets of documents are sewn together, after which the ends of the flexible stitching element are tied, cut and sealed.

The advantage of the device [12] is its extreme simplicity, as well as its small size, which makes it possible to store the device, for example, in a desk drawer. The disadvantage is the insignificant thickness of the stitched document block, limited by the ability to pierce with an awl.

The aforementioned drawbacks are deprived of devices for binding described in [13] - SU No. 1659229 (A1), B 42 B 2/10, 06/30/1991 and [14] - SU No. 1815240 (A1), B 42 B 2/10, 15.05 .1993. At its core, these devices are specialized hand presses in which a block of documents is clamped between the base plate and the upper pressure plate using a screw mechanism. A feature of devices [13] and [14] is the presence in these plates of removable parts - conductive plates with a number of guide holes for drilling a compressed block of documents.

Brochure of a block of documents using devices [13] and [14] is as follows. The document block aligned at the edges is placed on the base plate,

cover with a pressure plate and clamped with a screw mechanism. A block of documents is drilled through holes in the conductor plates. Remove the conductor plates without opening the press, freeing the spine of the block for stitching. Sew a block of documents through drilled holes with a flexible stitching element - a thread or cord. Unclench the press, release the block of documents, the ends of the flexible stitching element are tied, cut and sealed.

The advantage of devices [13] and [14] is the ability to stitch archival files of any desired thickness. The disadvantages include reduced strength at the junction of removable conductors with appropriate plates, as well as the need for auxiliary equipment for drilling holes.

Closest to the claimed utility model is adopted as a prototype device for binding, described in [15] - SU No. 1076320 (A1), 42 V 2/10, 02/28/1984.

The prototype device contains a carrier panel with racks located on its front side, on which a clamp bar is mounted to move vertically so that it can clamp the spine of the booklet document block to the carrier panel. In the carrier panel in the area between the uprights and in the clamping plate in the area between the openings for the uprights, slots are made corresponding to each other, designed to pass a perforating tool, for example for a drill, and to pass a flexible stapling element, such as a thread or cord. Racks are made in the form of rods of rectangular cross section. The racks are made with transverse holes for installing the fixing pins securing the clamping plate on the racks.

If necessary, in individual cases of use, an additional removable plate can be placed under the slot of the clamping bar, which performs the function of a conductor, having round holes for passing the drill and connecting their slot for passing a flexible stitching element.

Booklet using a prototype device is as follows. The carrier panel is fixed to the desktop, for example using clamps. Form and align the edges of the block of documents to be stitched. Next, this block of documents is placed on the carrier panel between the racks so that the root of the block is located above the slot in the carrier panel. Put on racks

clamping bar and manually push it to the document block. Fix the clamping bar on the racks with the help of fixing pins threaded into the corresponding holes of these racks. Drill (or pierce with an awl) holes in the spine of the document block and stitch it with a flexible stitching element. The locking pins are removed, the clamping plate and the stapled block of documents are removed, the ends of the flexible stapling element are tied, cut and sealed.

The advantage of the prototype device is ease of implementation, compactness, the ability to stitch archival files of any desired thickness. The disadvantage is the absence in its composition of means providing mechanical compression of a block of documents, as well as means providing holes for firmware. For some conditions of use, the disadvantage of the prototype device is the lack of the possibility of its use for re-booking previously dismissed cases (the same drawback is inherent in the analogs discussed above [11] - [14]).

The problem to which the claimed utility model is directed is to create a multi-operation device for binding, which allows to perforate sheets of documents and form a stitched document block from them with matching sheets on perforated holes, and also allows re-stitching of previously stitched document blocks.

The essence of the claimed utility model is as follows. The device for binding includes a support panel with racks located on its front side, on which a pressure bar is mounted to move vertically so that it can press the spine of the stapled document block against the carrier panel, while in the carrier panel on the section between the racks and in the pressure bar on the section between the holes for the racks are made corresponding to each other slots designed to pass a flexible stitching element. Unlike the prototype, on the front side of the carrier panel outside the area of the zone intended for placement of the booklet of documents, a punching device is mounted for punching sheets of documents, the racks are made in the form of cylindrical threaded rods and are equipped with screws screwed on them to hold the clamping plate to the spine of the booklet document block, and on the back of the carrier panel in the corresponding recess is placed the base of the removable stringing element, pins

which, designed to string perforated sheets of documents on them, pass through the specified slots in the carrier panel and the pressure bar.

In the particular case, the punch device can be made in the form of a manual hole punch with five punches and is equipped with a waste collector made in the form of a sliding tray placed in the corresponding niche on the back of the carrier panel; the stringing element can be made with pins, the number of which corresponds to the number of holes pierced by a punch device; and the carrier panel can be made folding of two pivotally connected parts, in the first of which there is a zone for accommodating a booklet of documents to be stitched, and in the second there is a zone for punching.

The essence of the utility model and the possibility of its implementation are illustrated by the drawings presented in figures 1 and 2, where:

figure 1 presents a schematic drawing explaining the element-wise composition of the inventive device for binding in the considered example of execution and the principle of articulation of its elements;

figure 2 is a schematic drawing explaining the interaction of the clamping plate, the supporting panel and the stringing element when stitching a block of documents (a fragment of a section along a plane passing through the racks).

The inventive device in the considered exemplary embodiment, see FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a carrier panel 1 with two struts 2 located on its front side, on which a clamping bar 3 is mounted with the possibility of moving in the vertical direction.

The clamping strip 3 is designed to clamp to the supporting panel of the spine of the stapled document block 4 (figure 2).

Racks 2 are made in the form of cylindrical threaded rods and equipped with nuts 5 screwed on them, designed to press the clamping strip 3 against the spine of the booklet document block 4.

In the carrier panel 1 in the area between the uprights 2 and in the clamping plate 3 in the area between the holes 6 for the uprights 2, the corresponding slots 7 and 8 are made for passing a flexible stapling element, such as a thread or cord (not shown in the figures).

On the front side of the carrier panel 1 outside the boundaries of zone 9, designed to accommodate the stapled document block 4, a punch device is fixed

10, intended for punching sheets of documents. In this example, the punch device 10 is located on the side of the carrier panel 1, opposite from the slot 7.

In this example, the perforating device 10 is made in the form of a manual hole punch with five punches that, when moving, enter through holes made in the carrier panel 1 (not shown in the figures). The puncher is equipped with a waste collector made in the form of a sliding tray 11 located in a corresponding niche on the back of the carrier panel 1 under these openings.

A specific constructive implementation of a hole punch, performing the function of a perforating device 10, is not essential for solving the task, it can be performed using well-known structural solutions used in office punchers, such as those described in [5] - [10].

On the back side of the carrier panel 1, in the corresponding recess 12 (FIG. 2), the base 13 of the removable stringing element 14 is placed, the pins 15 of which are designed to string perforated sheets of documents on them, pass through the slots 7 and 8 in the carrier panel 1 and the pressure bar 3 .

In this example, the number and location of the pins 15 in the stringing element 14 corresponds to the number and location of holes punched by the puncher 10.

In this example, the carrier panel 1 is made of two pivotally connected parts l ₁ and 1 ₂ , where in the first part 1 ₁ there is a zone 9 for accommodating the stapled document block 4, and in the second part 1 _{2 there} is a punch zone 16 equipped with a punch device 10 and emphasis 17 for perforated sheets of documents. Parts l ₁ and 1 ₂ are interconnected by side plates 18 mounted on axes 19 and 20. The distance between axes 19 and 20 is selected so that in the folded (inoperative) state, the first part l ₁ is located above the second part 1 ₂ without touching perforator 10.

Work with the claimed device is as follows.

In the idle state, for example during storage, the carrier panel 1 is folded, the pressure plate 3 is fixed with nuts 5 in its lower position, the base 13 of the removable stringing element 14 is in the recess 12, its pins 15 pass through the slots 7 and 8 in the carrier panel 1 and the pressure bar 3.

Work with the inventive device begins with the fact that the carrier panel 1 is displayed on the desktop in such a way that both its parts 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ form a common working plane. Then, nuts 5 are unscrewed and removed from the posts 2, after which the clamping strip 3 is removed from the posts 2, while the stringing element 14 remains in cooperation with the carrier panel 1.

The sheets of documents intended for binding are perforated using a punch device 10.

Then, the perforated sheets of documents are strung in the necessary order on the pins 15 of the stringing element 14, forming a stitched document block 4, in which all the sheets coincide with their perforated holes.

A clamping bar 3 is put on the racks 2, then nuts 5 are screwed onto the racks 2, pressing the clamping bar 3 against the spine of the stapled document block 4 (FIG. 2).

Next, the stringing element 14 is removed (down), freeing in the stitched document block 4 through channels for stitching formed by matching perforated holes in the sheets of documents.

The booklet block of documents 4 with the clamped clamping bar 3 spine is sewn through the slots 7 and 8 with a flexible stitching element - thread or cord.

After that, nuts 5 are screwed from the racks 3 and the clamping bar 3 is removed, freeing the stitched block of documents.

The stitched block of documents is removed from the carrier panel 1, the ends of the flexible stapling element are tied, trimmed and sealed.

A block of documents thus stitched in the form of archiving is sent to its place of storage.

The re-stitching of a previously stitched block of documents begins with its expansion and re-staffing using the stringing element 14, after which operations for re-stitching it are carried out, similar to the above operations.

Thus, using the inventive device due to its multi-operation nature, it is possible to carry out a significant part of the work related to the stitching and re-stitching of archival files, which determines the prospects for practical use of the inventive device.

From the above it follows that the claimed utility model is feasible and solves the task of creating a multi-operation device for binding, allowing to perforate the sheets of documents and form them into a stitched document block with matching sheets on perforated holes, and also allowing re-stitching of previously stitched document blocks.
