Definitions
- the present invention relates to • items for the protection of documents, of the type of folders or folders of eyelets or brooch or similar, in which a device or fastener holds in place and protected the documents inside.
- the most frequently used items consist of a front cover and a back cover and, in the case of so-called “folders”, a dorsal strip or “spine” between both covers, with which it serves as a “hinge” to open and close them and allow the insertion or removal of documents.
- the front and rear covers are formed of wide flat panels of dimensions slightly larger than. of the standardized papers that are used in the offices and the home, for example the sizes letter, trade, A4, etc; the dorsal strip is usually much narrower and depends on the thickness associated with the amount of sheets to which the article is intended; In the case of folders, they are intended to conserve groups of relatively few leaves inside, normally there is no dorsal strip or spine.
- pressure fasteners significantly reduce the damage to the material to be protected, although they usually leave marks at the points of contact with it.
- Pockets in particular, can reach various heights in relation to the panel to which they are fixed, as described in US patents 5,059,052 (Casper, 1991), 5,752,721 (Balbas, 1998), 6,193,147 (Schluger, 2001) and 6,296,112 (Pettey, 2001).
- these are mere extensions of one or more ends of the panels that form the body of the portfolio or folder, as illustrated in US Patents 6,244,627 (olf, 2001) and 6,286,752 (Heyer , 2001).
- Figure 1 is a simple perspective view of a conventional stationery article of the type known as a folder, in its open position, showing conventional support elements of the "flap" type.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the article of Figure 1, showing the way in which the documents are inserted into the support elements.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the article of Figure 1, showing how the documents may be damaged by normal use of the article.
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a conventional stationery article such as that of Figure 1, to which the device or fastener of the invention has been added, shown here in its non-use position.
- Figure 5 is a detailed view of an article of stationery such as that of Figure 4, showing the way in which the device or fastener of the invention is brought to its position of use when the article is prepared to insert any document or set of documents for safekeeping.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a conventional stationery article such as that of Figure 5, showing the device or fastener of the invention in its position of use.
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a conventional stationery article such as that of Figure 5, showing the device or fastener of the invention in its position of use, in an alternative mode of geometric configuration of the fastener.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of a conventional stationery article, showing the device or clamping element of the invention in its position of use, said clamping element being essentially shorter than the edge, in an alternative embodiment.
- Figure 9 is a perspective view of a conventional stationery article, showing another embodiment of the device or fastener of the invention in its position of use, this being made up of at least two individual pieces.
- the upper end of the document normally has free movement back and forth, as indicated by the double headed arrow, with respect to the panel (2) or (3) in whose flap (4) has been inserted;
- This movement is usually restricted only by the use of mechanical fastening means applied directly to the document, that is, attachments such as staples, paper clips or clips, or brooches, which hold the set of pages to some extent, but which nevertheless do not protect in a way some the banks and corners of the most frontal documents.
- the shape of the element (6) in the preferred embodiment of the invention, is essentially trapezoidal having the base greater than a measure equal to or slightly less than the inside measure of the panel (2) or (3) taken at the top, distal edge to the location of the flap or support pocket, and is anchored to said upper edge of the inner face of the panel (2) or (3) which has in its lower part the flap or pocket of the prior art;
- the anchorage is carried out by means of any technique known in the art, such as welding by ultraviolet radiation, ultrasound, bonding, heat sealing, sewing, etc., depending on the type of material that forms the body of the panels of the article for the guard.
- the minor base of the trapezoid is directed towards the middle part of the panel, and has the adjacent rounded corners in order to avoid any tearing or scratching of the material that will be protected in the folder.
- the area of attachment between the fastener (6) subject of the invention and the inner face of the folder panel is located on the outermost part of the surface of the fastener (6) and the panel (2) or ( 3), being limited approximately by line A-
- the fastening element (6) of the invention becomes operative when, once the document (s) to be protected in the flap or pocket referred to as (4) in the previous figures has been inserted; the lower edge of the clamping element (6), that is, the minor base of the trapezoid, flexes "up", in the opposite direction to the inner face of the panel, as shown in Figure 5 by the arrows, allowing the insertion of the upper edge of the document (5) below the clamping element (6), and between it and the inside of the panel (2) or (3) of the folder.
- the material selected to make the device or fastener (6) subject of this invention is transparent, then said element (6) will not interfere with the possibility of observing the contents of the front page of the document (5) protected, although this possibility is not restrictive of the invention since the dimensions of the element are substantially smaller with respect to the area that can be covered by the material of the lower support (flap or pocket).
- the application of the fastener element of the present invention can be done, as described, on one or both inner faces of the panels that constitute the body of the office article for the safekeeping of documents, be it a folder, with rings or rings, brooch or the like, by virtue of the fact that said fastener does not interfere with the normal operation of any of the items to which it can be added.
- the fastener (6) can have a rectangular, rather than trapezoidal, shape, maintaining the characteristic of having the corners adjacent to the bottom edge, rounded, to prevent tearing of the documents to be contained in the folder.
- the numbers have the same meaning as in Figure 6.
- the fastener (6) may have a length substantially less than that of the width of the folder panel to which it adheres along one of its edges, maintaining its document holding action between the panel and the element, as well as the protection on the edge of the document on which it is in its position of use; the protection at the edge of the document is restricted precisely to said area of the upper edge thereof depending on the position in which the element (6) is anchored to the folder panel; it is possible to protect any of the corners of the document if the element of clamp (6) is anchored to the panel near the selected corner; in another case, the clamping element can be centered centered with respect to the panel.
- FIG. 9 Another embodiment of the invention, illustrated in Figure 9, suggests the use of a clamping element (6) divided into two or more sections in its length, offering flexibility to the respective panel of the folder, maintaining the protection features at the upper edge. of the document and its corners.
- a material saving with practically the same functionality is possible.
