Abstract

A so-called travelling stapler perforator designed as a small appliance is used as a combined appliance for perforating and stapling sheets of paper, foils and the like. Because of its small size, it is particularly suitable for travellers, students and school children. A per se known travelling stapler is equipped with an arrangement for perforating sheets of paper, foils or the like. Said perforating arrangement has a perforating die (5b), a perforating bottom die (2d) and a stop (12). The perforating die (5b) is arranged on the lower surface of the staple guiding rail (5) and the perforating bottom die (2d) is arranged in correspondance with the die (5b) in a lower part (2) fixed to the bottom plate (1).

Description

Travel book punch

The invention relates to a travel booklet punch which, as a combination organizer for punching and stapling paper sheets, foils and the like. is used and is particularly suitable for travel, study and school purposes.

SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) The usual available office organizers exist separately as perforators and staples

Use at the desk. Here they have theirs

Advantage.

When traveling, in particular here is intended for business trips, or to school or the like, however, nobody can take the above-mentioned devices with them. Its volume is measured by the available transport space, e.g. Schoolbag, attache etc., too big.

In order to remedy this disadvantage, solutions have been found that combine both devices in one. From DE-Gbm 83 90 047.0, for example, a perforating apparatus is known which has a stapling device in its central region using a large number of components. When the punch lever is actuated, there is a permanent danger of also pressing the lever.

Another known solution working according to the same basic principle is shown in DE-Gbm 84 27 579. Here, too, is the basic tool of the punch, which has been supplemented by a device for stapling and tipping pens. The invention specified in protection claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a travel book punch that is light, small, handy and reliable, and essentially uses tried and tested solutions in order to minimize the constructional and economic effort as much as possible hold.

This problem is solved with the features listed in protection claim 1. The following subclaims 2 to 11 contain advantageous and preferred further developments and exemplary embodiments of the invention.

The essence of the invention is therefore, inter alia, that on the one hand it was assumed that the smaller of the two apparatuses in question and on the other hand that only a few components for punching are assigned to the stapler which has the higher number of components.

The necessary punch and the associated punch die are on one of the moving upper parts, preferably the clamp guide rail, or on the lower, generally fixed parts arranged of the stapler, wherein the lower part of the stapler can consist of one or more parts, depending on the staple type.

It is also essential to the invention that the punch and the die can be in the upper or lower part of the staple.

A lock prevents the pusher from pushing out and squeezing clips during the punching process. The location of this lock on the staple is of secondary importance. It only has to prevent the depressor and the clamp guide rail holding the clamps from moving further than allowed towards one another. According to the invention, the lock is preferably positioned on the end section of the upper part of the base body of the invention, the staple. This above-described, inventively designed stapler thus becomes a handy, practical and inexpensive travel book punch, the invention. Further developments consist, among other things, of arranging a swiveling paper positioner in a recess in the base plate, which follows

Can be folded out as needed. This has from

Basically an L-shaped cross section. One leg serves as a support and the other as

Plant for the paper. Furthermore, at least one marking is provided, the distance from which

Perforated die corresponds to half the value of the hole spacing, in Germany according to DIN standard 80 mm, i.e. 40 mm.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail using several, highly schematic drawings. Show it:

2D section II from FIG. 2,

Fig. 3 u. 3a the lower, so-called bottom / base group of the travel book punch,

Fig. 4 u. 4a a feed slide designed for receiving reserve staples and

Fig. 5 u. 5a a main spring further developed according to the invention with a holding element for reserve staples.

This exemplary embodiment of the travel booklet punch according to the invention consists of a base plate 1 with a lower part 2 riveted or embedded or glued thereon a counter-holder 2e (staple bend anvil), a die 2d, a nose 2a forming a slot 2b in each leg.

The slots 2b formed in this way lie parallel to the base plate 2 and prevent them

- inserting too thick pieces of paper to punch,

- and the paper going up during the return stroke of the punch 5b.

According to the invention, this 5b is fixedly attached to the lower surface of the clamp guide rail 5 in a position corresponding to the punch die 2d. On the lower surface of the end section 9a of the upper part 9 there is a longitudinally displaceable and in two positions P, and P _? positionable lock 12 is provided. Its guide slot 12 b corresponds to the guide 9b of the end section 9a. With a connecting part 12 c, the lock 12 is held on the end portion 9 a. When the lock is moved in the direction of the object, a blockage of the upper part 9 and one arises

SPARE BLÄJT (RULE 26) non-positive connection between 9 and 5. When the upper part 9 is pressed down, the pressure force passes through the lock 12 into the clamp guide rail 5. Since this 5 holds the punch 5b, the punching process is triggered when the upper part is pressed down. Engaging and disengaging the lock 12 releases the object for the alternative functions:

P 1 stapling (staples), block moved outward from the object; P 2 holes, lock moved to the object.

The lock can, as mentioned above, consist of a slide 12 or a pivot lever 13, Fig. 2bb. In addition to the pivot axis 13a, this 13 has a handle 13b and a locking knob 13c. The lock is fastened to the upper part 9 with screw, bolt or rivet, the connecting part 12c. However, other locking designs are conceivable, only the indentation and blocking of the decline of items 9 and 10 into the clamp guide rail 6 is decisive. Moving the lock in the axial direction separates the stitching and punching processes. The base plate 1 is free on one side for the paper positioner 3 (recess 1b). The Papierposi ti oni erer is attached to the underside of the lower part 2 by means of fitting bolts 4. The paper positioner 3 can be on the right side of the

Object to be pivoted 90 ° outwards, movement S. For this, the paper positioner 3 has a handle 3c in order to be able to grip the stop easily. The paper positioner 3 has a notch or marking at a distance of 40 mm 1 to the central axis of the object, at 90 ° pivoting. The 40 mm are identical to the half hole spacing of the German standard! hole of 80 mm. Markings for other distances could be provided on it at the same time 3.

The Papierposi ti oni erer 3 has an L-shaped cross-section, one leg as a support 3a and the other leg, the vertical, as an attachment 3b, see FIGS. 3 and 3a, are provided.

The upper part 9 receiving the main spring 10 and the clamp guide rail 5 are pivotally mounted on the lower part 2 with a fitting axis 11. The feed carriage 7 runs in the clamp guide rail 5. The feed carriage 7 is so free on the side and on the back that it carries the reserve staples 6b in a form-fitting manner in the backpack process. The reserve staples 6b are held on the back of the constriction 7a of the feed carriage 7 by a spring tab 10b of the main spring 10. The feed spring continuously pushes the feed carriage 7 forward. In the upper part 9, the skin spring 10 is fastened on the bottom and inside.

The main spring has the following functions:

- Return stroke of the upper part of the object after stapling or punching.

- Depressing the staple with the angled end 10a.

- Fixation of the reserve staple on the back of the feed carriage 7 by means of a notched

Feather rag 9. The following is a description of the handling of the Rei hole:

- stapling:

The lock 12 has moved outward from the travel book punch. The device is now used like any stapler.

Punch:

10 Fold the paper to be punched in the center or swing out the paper positioner 3 by 90 °. Engage lock 12 facing the travel booklet punch. Align the paper fold on the paper stop with the mark or notch. Punching through

15 Depress upper part 9. Remove the paper, turn the underside upwards, bring the paper center fold back to cover with a notch or marking and initiate the second punching process. You can also use both holes with one

Be punched 20 times when the paper is loaded folded.

REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE ») The object described has essentially the dimensions and basic structural parts of the staple apparatus which is distributed worldwide in approximately hundreds of millions.

The description shows the essential constructive * functi onel 1 en elements that combine a "single-purpose stapler" into a combination device for two functions:

Cling together and

Punching paper, foils or the like

do .

The described object brings decisive improvements for the user of the staple apparatus with its innovations:

Staples and punching in one device. Carrying of a reserve clip magazine, integrated in the device. These mini devices are ideal for travel, study and school purposes. It is a very decisive advantage to have a double number of staples integrated in the double-function device and to keep it in stock.

In particular in the case of small and very small versions of such stapling devices, such as are carried in briefcases or school bags for travel and for school or study, it has proven disadvantageous in use that only one, usually relatively quickly, is used used up staple block is available in the device and any replacement staples would have to be carried separately somewhere in a cumbersome manner.

In such a basic device, it is now generally provided that, in addition to the usual clip magazine 6, an additional reserve magazine 6a is arranged or incorporated in the device, whereby a special structural design can be constructed such that the one in the Clamp guide rail 5 guided feed carriage 7 preferably in its has a constriction 7a in the middle section for receiving at least one reserve staple block 6a and this 6a is held in position by a spring tab 10b of the main pressure spring 10 located above it.

The simple solution idea on which the present innovation is based is also suitable as a general spatial shape idea for arranging the reserve magazine 6a at any other location on or in the upper part 9, lower part 1, 2 or in or on the clamp guide rail 5 of a stapling device is therefore not limited to the detailed solution previously described as an exemplary embodiment.
