Description

Technical Information Technical Field

The present invention relates to a file provided with a spelling tool for binding a document or the like. Background art

Conventionally, a file as shown in FIG. 12 is known, and a file F shown in this figure is a front open / close cover F 1 made of a piece of cardboard, a back cover F 2, and a back side. And an open / close cover F3. Between the front cover F1 and the spine F2, there is provided a front fold F4 formed by folding the base end of the cover F1 inward, and a back fold F4. Between the opening / closing cover F3 and the spine F2, there is provided a backside folded portion F5 formed by folding the base end of the backside opening / closing cover F3 inward.

The back fold F5 has a pair of left and right spelling feet 41, 41 facing the front fold F4, and the front fold F4 has a surface. An elongated flat plate-shaped spelling tool 10 is fixed. The spelling tool 10 is provided with a pair of left and right insertion holes 20, 2 ◦ corresponding to the pair of spelling feet 41, 41. One

A pair of left and right locking hooks 30 and 30 are projected outside the pair of insertion holes 20 'and 20. Then, the binding feet 41 and 41 are passed through the through holes 20 and 20 through the through holes formed in the front side folded portion F 4, so that a solid line in FIG. 12 is obtained. As shown by, the leading ends of the spelling legs 41, 41 project from the spelling tool 10 upward.

The documents and the like are placed between the front-side folded portion F4 and the back-side folded portion F5 and spelled while being passed through the spelling legs 41, 41. After the documents, etc. are spelled on the spelling legs 41, 41, the front ends of the spelling legs 41, 41, as shown by the two-point i-line in FIG. The upper edge F lu, F 3 u and the lower side are bent toward F 1 b, F 3 b, and are locked to the locking hooks 30, 30. The binding is completed.

Conventionally, a file as shown in FIG. 13 is also known. This file F 'also has a front opening / closing cover F1, a back cover F2, a back opening / closing cover F3, a front folding portion F4, and a back folding portion F5. The configuration of the spelling implement 10 ′ is different from that described above, with the same strength as the file F shown in the figure.

That is, the binding tool 10 ′ is provided with a pair of guides 40, 40 formed by folding up both sides of the elongated substrate in the width direction, and a pair of guides 40, 40. 40 A pair of stoppers 50 and 50 are inserted into the opposing guide grooves, and a pair of insertion holes 20 and 2 It is slidably fitted between them. Raised bulges are formed in the upper part of the stoppers 50 and 5 mm. The openings of these bulges are the upper edges F lu and F 3 u of the open / close covers F 1 and F 3, respectively. And the lower edges Flb, F3b.

Then, the pair of stoppers 50, 50 are moved toward the respective spelling feet 41, 41 projecting upward from the through holes 20, 2 ◦, so that the first 3 As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The spelling feet 41, 41 are pushed down toward the squeezing tool 10 'in a state where the spelling feet 41, 41 are pushed down toward the inside of the bulging part from the opening.

However, with such a configuration, there is a problem that the amount of documents that can be bound is limited.In other words, in such a file F, F ′, it is possible to bind many documents. To make it possible, the width of the spine F2 should be set large and the spelling legs 41, 41 should be long. If the binding thickness of the document is set too large in such a case, the spine F2 will bulge outward greatly if the thickness of the document to be actually bound is small. In addition, the ends of the folded spelling legs 41, 41 will protrude outward from the upper edges F lu F 3 u and the lower edges F lb, F 3 b of the open / close covers F 1, F 3 This leads to a problem. Therefore, this kind of file F It is difficult to set the binding thickness of the document large in F '. In particular, for files with small dimensions from the upper edge F 1 u, F 3 υ to the lower edge F 1 b, F 3 b of the opening / closing cover F 1, open and close with each spelling leg 41, 41. Since the distance from the upper edges F lu and F 3 u or the lower edges F 1 b and F 3 b of the covers F 1 and F 3 becomes small, it is difficult to increase the binding thickness of the document. is there. Disclosure of the invention

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and in the case where a small number of documents are to be spelled, a problem that the spine swells or the spelling feet protrude outward from 緣 of the open / close cover. In addition, it aims to provide a file in which it is easy to set the binding thickness of documents to be large.

The present invention employs the following means in order to achieve such an object. That is, the file according to the present invention includes a pair of front and back openable covers, a spine provided between the base ends of these openable covers such that the width can be changed, and a base end of one openable cover or its base end. By folding the spelling foot protruding inward from the formed fold and the fold formed at the base end of the other opening and closing cover, bending the distal end of the spelling foot toward the opening and closing end of the opening and closing cover. And a spelling device for locking.

If the file has such a structure, the thickness of the document to be bound Since the width of the spine can be changed according to the size of the book, documents can be bound in various thicknesses while always maintaining an appropriate external shape. Moreover, the spelling foot is bent in a direction away from the base end of the opening / closing cover, not in the direction of the top / bottom edge of the opening / closing cover, so that the distance from the projecting position of the spelling foot to the top and bottom edges of the opening / closing cover is restricted. Without doing so, it is possible to make the spelling legs long enough. That is, when binding a normal document with multiple spelling feet, the distance from the spelling foot to the opening / closing edge of the opening / closing cover rather than the distance from the projecting position of each spelling foot to the top and bottom edges of the cover. The distance is much larger. Therefore, when the binding thickness is small, the binding foot can be extended without causing the binding foot to protrude from the edge of the open / close cover, and the binding thickness of the document is set large. It is something that can be done.

As a preferred mode for enabling the width of the spine to be changed, one of the openable and closed covers has a double structure having an opening at the base end side, and the other openable and closeable. One example is one in which one end of a spine is connected to the base end of the cover and the other end of the spine is slidably inserted into one opening of the openable cover.

By doing so, the unnecessary portion of the spine is contained in the double-sided openable cover and is not exposed to the outside.

The present invention described in claim 3 eliminates the spine. The purpose is to achieve the above-mentioned purpose. In other words, this file includes a pair of front and back cover sheets, a spelling foot projecting inward from a base end of one of the open / close covers or a fold formed at the base end, and A binding device provided at a fold formed at the base end of the other open / close cover to bend and lock the distal end side of the spelling foot away from the base end of the open / close cover. Features.

Even in such a configuration, the spelling legs are bent in the same direction as the inventions described in claims 1 and 2 above, except that the back of the document cannot be hidden by the cover, The same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, when it is desired that the plurality of spelling feet can be quickly disengaged, the spelling tool is attached to the folding portion of the opening / closing cover, and the plurality of spelling feet are attached. A long and narrow rail member having a through hole for passing through, and a spelling foot locking member coupled to the rail member in a longitudinally slidable manner. The spelling feet passed through the through holes of the rail member can be bent and locked at once using the sliding operation of the spelling foot locking member with respect to the rail member. It is better to configure it.

As a preferred embodiment of the in-situ table, as described in claim 5, a spelling foot locking member is provided with a cutout window for passing a spelling foot having a rail member passed therethrough, It is provided continuously to the notch window to hold the bent spelling foot. And a tilting groove for bending the spelling foot inserted through the cutout window using the sliding operation of the spelling foot locking member with respect to the rail member and guiding the spelling foot to the locking groove. And a guide section. More specifically, as described in claim 6, the notch window has a substantially right-angled triangular shape in plan view, and the edge of the notch window constitutes the inclined guide portion. Things can be mentioned. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

As a synthetic resin material to be applied, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like are preferably used, but are not limited thereto, and may be flexible and soft. Anything is applicable.

Further, in the present embodiment, the spell leg member 4 is composed of the spell legs 41, 41 and the substrate 42. However, the spell leg member 4 of the present invention is not shown in the above-described embodiment. The present invention is not limited to the present shape and structure, and all four spelling legs may be formed into an elongated band shape or a string shape. In addition, the spelling legs 41, 41 may be directly fixed to the folding part F5 without providing the substrate 42 in particular.

The spelling tool 1 is composed of an elongated rail member 2 and a spelling foot locking member 3 that is slidably moved on the rail member 2 while being guided by the rail member 2. The rail member 2 is an elongated plate-like member formed of a hard synthetic resin. Guide rails 21 are formed on both sides of the upper side in the width direction of the rail member 2 and protrude outward along the entire length. Further, a pair of left and right locking holes 22 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2. The locking hole 22 on the left (in the figure) is provided at the end. At the same time, the other (right side in the figure) locking hole 22 is provided slightly near the center. A rivet or the like for fixing the rail member 2 to the bent portion F4 is inserted through the locking hole 22.

The pair of spelling legs 41, 4 is located slightly to the right of the locking hole 22 and closer to the spine F2 than the center line extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2. A pair of left and right through holes 23 for inserting 1 is formed. The distance between the pair of through holes 23, 23 is set to be equal to the distance between the pair of spelling legs 41, 41. A pair of locking projections 24 extending in the longitudinal direction are provided on the side opposite to the insertion hole 23 in the width direction and away from the spine F2. The length of the locking projection 24 is set slightly longer than the diameter of the through hole 23.

On the other hand, the spell foot locking member 3 is an elongated member made of a synthetic resin having a C-shape that opens downward in a cross-sectional view in the width direction. A guide groove 31 extending in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the guide rail 21 of the one-piece member 2 is recessed, and a protrusion 31a extending in the longitudinal direction is formed at a lower portion of the guide groove 31. . With the guide rail 21 fitted in the guide groove 31, the spelling foot locking member 3 is slidable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the rail member 2.

A pair of right-angled triangular cutout windows 32 are provided in the upper surface of the spelling foot locking member 3, The portion is located to the left, and the bottom portion has an opening facing the direction of the document D to be bound. The notch window 32 is provided in correspondence with the insertion hole 23 of the rail member 2 and, as shown in FIG. It is sized so that the top of the triangular cutout window 32 is located in the through hole 23 of the rail member 2 while being slid and pulled slightly to the left from the rail member 2. I have.

At the bottom of the triangular cutout window 32, a locking groove 36 is provided toward the left, and as shown in FIG. With the locking member 3 housed in the rail member 2, the position is set so as to correspond to the insertion hole 23 in the width direction of the rail member 2. The notch 32 of the cutout window 32 functions as an inclined guide 32a. The inclined guide portion 3 2a uses the sliding operation of the spelling foot locking member 3 with respect to the rail member 2 to bend the spelling legs 4 1 and 4 1 passed through the cutout window 32 and the above. This is for guiding to the locking groove 36.

Then, when the spelling foot locking member 3 is slid to the right with respect to the rail member 2 and stored in the rail member 2, as shown in FIG. The hole 23 is covered by a portion of the spelling foot locking member 3 to the left of the cutout window 32.

The ceiling at both ends in the longitudinal direction of such a spelling foot locking member 3 On the surface, there is formed a recessed groove 33 corresponding to the locking protrusion 24 of the rail member 2 as shown in FIG. 4, and the spelling foot locking member 3 is As shown in FIG. 2, even if the sliding is performed, both ceiling portions of the spelling foot locking member 3 and the locking projections 24 do not interfere with each other.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower part of the cutout window 32 has a draw-out state of the spelling foot locking member 3 shown in FIG. 1 and a spelling foot shown in FIG. A spelling foot introduction chamber (storage space) 34 sufficient to cover the insertion hole 23 of the rail member 2 and the locking projection 24 in both the storage state of the locking member 3 is formed. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a space 35 slightly above the top surface of the rail member 2 is formed between the left and right spelling foot introduction chambers 34. The space 35 does not have the ridges 31a.

The rail member 2 and the spell foot locking member 3 are manufactured by injection molding using a hard synthetic resin material. The hard synthetic resin materials include hard polyethylene and hard. Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polystyrene Acrylinolenitrinolinolestyrene, Acrylinolenitrinolinobutabutene Genstyrene, Polymethylmethacrylate, Polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamid, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polypylene terephthalate, etc. are preferred. Anything other than the above can be used as long as it is hard and has appropriate rigidity. It is possible.

Since the file F a of the present invention is structured as described above, when spelling out the document D, etc., first, as shown in FIGS. 2 so that the insertion holes 23 of the rail member 2 correspond to the cutout windows 32 of the spelling foot locking member 3 so as to be exposed to the outside. Then, a pair of right and left spelling legs 41, 41 on which the document D and the like are mounted are passed through the folding portion F4, and are inserted into the through holes 23 from the rear surface of the rail member 2. Then, the insertion width of the back cover F2 with respect to the opening / closing cover F3 is appropriately changed to adjust the back width to an optimum value.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when the spelling foot locking member 3 is slid in the upper right direction in the figure with respect to the rail member 2, the spelling feet 41, 41 form the oblique side of the cutout window 32. Inclined guide section: Guided by 32a, bent at a substantially right angle to the longitudinal direction of the spelling tool 1, and the document is guided by the movement of the inclined guide section 32a of the cutout window 32 in the upper right direction. It falls in the direction of D, and finally comes into the state of being drawn into the locking groove 36.

Then, when the spelling foot locking member 3 is completely housed on the rail member 2, the 1¾ step-shaped projections 4 3a formed on the inner surfaces of the spelling feet 41, 41 have the locking projections 24. In this state, the spelling legs 41, 41 project from the locking groove 36 of the notch window 32 in the direction of the back cover F3. As a result, even if force is applied in the direction in which the document 1 is pulled out from the spelling legs 41, 41, the locking shape cannot be easily pulled out. Be in a state.

Fig. 8 shows this state, and the document D placed on the open / close cover F3 on the back side of the file Fa is attached by the spelling feet 4 1 and 4 1 fixed to the fold F5. It is in a state of being pressed and locked by the binding tool 1 disposed on the folding tool F4. In such a locked state of the document D, the distal ends 41a of the spelling legs 41, 41 project in a direction away from the base ends Flk, F3k of the openable / closable covers Fl, F3.

With such a configuration, since the width of the spine F2 can be changed according to the thickness of the document D to be bound, the document D is bound to various thicknesses while always maintaining an appropriate outer shape. be able to. Moreover, the spelling feet 4 1, 4 1 are not in the directions of the upper and lower covers F l, F 3, F 3 b, F 3 b and F 1 b, F 3 b but from the base ends F lk, F 3 k Since it is folded away, it is restricted by the distance from the projecting position of the spelling feet 41, 41 to the top and bottom covers Fl, F3 and the bottom edges Flu, F3, F3uFib, F3b. Without spelling, the spelling legs 41 and 41 can be made sufficiently long. Therefore, when the binding thickness is small, the binding feet 41 can be lengthened without causing a problem that the binding feet 41 protrude from the edges of the opening and closing covers Fl and F3. Thus, the binding thickness of the document D can be set to be large.

This effect beam is particularly similar to the file Fb shown in FIG. 1.6

In particular, the dimension from the upper edge F 1 u, F 3 u to the lower edge F ib, F 3 b of the opening / closing cover F 1, F 3 is particularly conspicuous in the longitudinal dimension of the spelling device 1. Becomes That is, in the file Fb having such a shape and dimensions, if the spelling feet 4 1, 4 1 are bent in the direction of the hand of the spelling tool 1, the spelling feet 4 1, 4 1 will be opened and closed. l, Force that easily protrudes from F3 <According to the configuration of the present invention, the opening and closing ends F1s, F3s from the base ends F1k, F3k of the opening and closing covers F1, F3 The goodness of the spelling legs 41, 41 can be set freely within the range up to. Therefore, the binding thickness of Document D can be set reasonably large.

The configuration for enabling the width of the front cover F2 to be adjusted is not limited to the one described above. For example, as shown in the file Fc shown in FIG. Near the base end of the front cover F 3 (only the side F 3 m has a double structure, and the front end F 2 s example of the back cover F 2 is slidably inserted into the double structure. Is also good.

If the back of the document may be exposed, the spine may be omitted as shown in FIG. That is, this file Fd is composed of a pair of open / close covers F 1 and F 3 and a base end F 3 k of the open / close cover F 3 or a fold formed on the base end F 3 k thereof. The spelling feet 4 1, 4 1, which are provided at the fold-down portion F 4 formed at the base end F 1 k of the other openable cover F 1, protruding inward from the portion F 5, and the spelling feet 41, 1 and a spelling tool 1 that bends the 41's and 41's sides away from the base ends of the open / close covers F1 and F3, and locks them. Portions that are the same as or correspond to those in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Industrial applicability
