Abstract

The present invention configures a binding tool (0) equipped with: a set of binding rod members (1, 2) that can pivot relative to each other via a hinge around the center axis thereof and that that open/close binding rods through the pivoting operation; and an operation member (3) that covers the shafts (13, 23) of the hinge, is able to slide along the direction of the center axis with respect to the binding rod members (1, 2), has a stopper that prohibits the binding rod members (1, 2) from pivoting in the direction that opens the binding rods, and can selectively assume a locked position, wherein the stopper contacts predetermined sections (14, 24) of the binding rod members (1, 2), and an unlocked position, wherein the stopper does not contact the predetermined sections (14, 24) even if the binding rod members (1, 2) are pivoted. As a result, the shafts (13, 23) of the hinge no longer impart a bumpy feel to a user.

Description

綴じ具Binding tool
 本発明は、紙葉類を綴じ止めるための綴じ具に関する。 The present invention relates to a binding tool for binding paper sheets.
 ルーズリーフやクリアブックのリフィル等の紙葉類を綴じ止めることができるリング綴じ具(例えば、下記特許文献を参照)が既知である。この種の綴じ具は、環状をなす綴じ桿が回動動作によって開閉可能となっており、任意に紙葉類を差し替えることができる。 A ring binding tool (for example, see the following patent document) capable of binding paper sheets such as loose leaves and clear book refills is known. In this type of binding tool, an annular binding rod can be opened and closed by a rotating operation, and paper sheets can be arbitrarily replaced.
 多くのリング綴じ具は、軸心方向に長尺な一組の綴じ桿部材をヒンジを介して連結し相対回動可能とした構造を有する。各綴じ桿部材は、部分円弧状をなす多数本の綴じ桿要素を支持している。そして、一方の綴じ桿部材に円筒状の軸受を軸心方向に沿って間欠的に設け、他方の綴じ桿にもやはり円筒状の軸受を軸心方向に沿って間欠的に設けて、両綴じ桿部材の軸受を(一方の軸受を他方の軸受間に位置づけて)同心軸上に配列した上、各軸受を貫く細棒を挿通してヒンジを構成している。 Many ring binding tools have a structure in which a pair of binding rod members elongated in the axial direction are connected via a hinge so as to be relatively rotatable. Each binding rod member supports a large number of binding rod elements having a partial arc shape. A cylindrical bearing is provided intermittently along the axial direction on one binding rod member, and a cylindrical bearing is also provided intermittently along the axial direction on the other binding rod, and both bindings are provided. The bearings of the flange members are arranged on concentric shafts (one bearing is positioned between the other bearings), and a thin rod passing through each bearing is inserted to constitute a hinge.
 このようなものであると、綴じ桿部材の軸受の列が凸凹した感触をユーザに与えることになる。特に、中紙を綴じてリングノートとして使用する場合に、ノートの背側に軸受が露出し、その手触りが必ずしもよくない。 Such a thing gives the user a feeling that the row of bearings of the binding rod member is uneven. In particular, when the inner paper is bound and used as a ring notebook, the bearing is exposed on the back side of the notebook, and the touch is not always good.

 本発明は、綴じ桿の開放状態と閉止状態との切り替えが容易で手触りもよい綴じ具を提供しようとするものである。 The present invention is intended to provide a binding tool that can be easily switched between an open state and a closed state of the binding rod and is easy to touch.
 本発明では、ヒンジを介してその軸心周りに相対回動可能であり、回動動作を通じて綴じ桿を開閉させる一組の綴じ桿部材と、前記ヒンジの軸を覆うとともに前記綴じ桿部材に対し前記軸心方向に沿ってスライド可能であり、綴じ桿部材が前記綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動することを禁止するストッパを有し、当該ストッパが綴じ桿部材の所定部位に接触するロック位置と、綴じ桿部材を回動させても当該ストッパが綴じ桿部材の所定部位に接触しないアンロック位置とを選択的にとり得る操作部材とを具備する綴じ具を構成した。 In the present invention, a pair of binding rod members that are capable of relative rotation around the axis via a hinge and that open and close the binding rod through a rotation operation, and cover the shaft of the hinge and the binding rod member. A lock position that is slidable along the axial direction, has a stopper that prohibits the binding rod member from rotating in a direction to open the binding rod, and the stopper contacts a predetermined portion of the binding rod member And an operating member that can selectively take an unlock position where the stopper does not contact a predetermined portion of the binding rod member even when the binding rod member is rotated.
 これにより、ヒンジの軸がユーザの手指に直接触れる機会が少なくなる。即ち、ヒンジの軸が凸凹した感触をユーザに与える可能性が小さくなる。その上で、操作部材を軸心方向にスライド操作することで、綴じ桿の開放状態と閉止状態との切り替えを行い得る。 This reduces the chance that the hinge axis will touch the user's fingers directly. That is, the possibility of giving the user a feeling that the axis of the hinge is uneven is reduced. Then, the operating member can be slid in the axial direction to switch the binding rod between the open state and the closed state.
 より具体的には、前記ヒンジの軸が略円筒状の外周をなし、前記操作部材がこのヒンジの軸をくわえ込むようにヒンジの軸に係合する構成とする。 More specifically, the hinge shaft has a substantially cylindrical outer periphery, and the operation member engages with the hinge shaft so as to hold the hinge shaft.
 前記一組の綴じ桿部材の各々に略円筒状の外周をなし前記ヒンジの軸となる軸体を設け、両者の軸体を直列に配置した状態で前記操作部材がこれらを相対回動可能に保持するものとすれば、両綴じ桿部材の軸体を貫く細棒が不要となる。 Each of the pair of binding rod members has a substantially cylindrical outer periphery and is provided with a shaft body that serves as a shaft of the hinge, and the operation member can be rotated relative to each other with the shaft bodies arranged in series. If it is to be held, a thin bar penetrating the shaft body of both binding rod members becomes unnecessary.
 前記両軸体の互いに対向する端面の一方に凸部を形成し、他方にこの凸部を受け入れる凹部を形成して、これら凸部と凹部との係合構造を構成していれば、両綴じ桿部材の軸体の一体性が向上する。 If a convex portion is formed on one of the end surfaces facing each other of the shafts and a concave portion for receiving the convex portion is formed on the other, and an engagement structure between the convex portion and the concave portion is configured, both bindings are performed. The integrity of the shaft body of the flange member is improved.
 前記操作部材が、並立する側壁と両側壁を連結する底壁とを備え、側壁及び底壁によって包囲される内部空間に前記ヒンジの軸を収容するものであり、前記側壁の端縁に切欠を形成し、切欠に隣接する部位を前記ストッパとして、前記操作部材が前記アンロック位置にあるときには前記綴じ桿部材の所定部位がこの切欠内に収まるようにすれば、綴じ桿部材及び操作部材によって綴じ具の基本構成が完結し、部品点数を削減することができる。 The operating member includes side walls that are arranged side by side and a bottom wall that connects both side walls, and the shaft of the hinge is accommodated in an inner space surrounded by the side walls and the bottom wall, and a notch is formed at an edge of the side wall. If a portion adjacent to the notch is used as the stopper and the predetermined portion of the binding rod member is accommodated in the notch when the operation member is in the unlocked position, the binding is performed by the binding rod member and the operation member. The basic structure of the tool is completed, and the number of parts can be reduced.
 さらに、前記操作部材を前記アンロック位置から前記ロック位置に向けて変位させる方向に弾性付勢する弾性付勢部材を具備していれば、その弾性付勢力をも利用して綴じ桿の閉止状態を確実に保つことができ、綴じている紙葉類が不意に脱落するおそれが低減する。 Further, if the elastic biasing member that elastically biases the operation member in the direction of displacing from the unlock position toward the lock position is provided, the binding rod is also closed using the elastic biasing force. Can be reliably maintained, and the possibility that the bound paper sheets will fall off unexpectedly is reduced.
 本発明によれば、綴じ桿の開放状態と閉止状態との切り替えが容易で手触りもよい好適な綴じ具を実現することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a suitable binding tool that can be easily switched between an open state and a closed state of the binding rod and is easy to touch.

 <第一実施形態>本発明の実施の形態を、図面を参照して説明する。図1ないし図19に示す本実施形態の綴じ具0は、開閉可能な複数本の綴じ桿を備えたリング綴じ具である。綴じ桿は、予め紙葉類Sに穿たれている綴じ孔に挿通されて、紙葉類Sを綴じ止める。 <First Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The binding tool 0 of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 19 is a ring binding tool provided with a plurality of binding hooks that can be opened and closed. The binding fold is inserted into a binding hole that has been made in the paper sheet S in advance, and binds the paper sheet S.
 特に、図1に示しているように、ノートの中紙となる複数枚のリーフやクリアブックのリフィル(さらには、表表紙や裏表紙)等Sを綴じることで、リングノートとしての用途に供することができる。このリングノートは、ページを180°の角度に開いた見開き状態とすることが可能である。 In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, by binding a plurality of leaves or clear book refills (in addition, a front cover and a back cover) such as a cover sheet of a notebook, it can be used as a ring notebook. be able to. This ring notebook can be in a spread state where the page is opened at an angle of 180 °.
 本実施形態の綴じ具0は、互いに相対的に回動する第一の綴じ桿部材1及び第二の綴じ桿部材2と、両綴じ桿部材1、2が支持する綴じ桿の開放状態/閉止状態を切り替えるために操作される操作部材3と、操作部材3を弾性付勢する弾性付勢部材たるコイルばね4とを構成部材とする。 The binding tool 0 of the present embodiment includes a first binding rod member 1 and a second binding rod member 2 that rotate relative to each other, and an open state / closed state of the binding rod supported by both binding rod members 1 and 2. The operating member 3 that is operated to switch the state and the coil spring 4 that is an elastic biasing member that elastically biases the operating member 3 are used as constituent members.
 第一の綴じ桿部材1の形状と第二の綴じ桿部材2の形状とは相似している。第一の綴じ桿部材1は、軸心方向に対して平行に長尺な棒状の基体11と、基体11から伸び出した綴じ桿要素12と、基体11から離間し当該綴じ桿部材1の回転中心となる軸体13と、この軸体13を基体11に連接する腕部14とを備える。本実施形態では、これら基体11、綴じ桿要素12、軸体13及び腕部14を樹脂一体成形している。 The shape of the first binding rod member 1 and the shape of the second binding rod member 2 are similar. The first binding rod member 1 includes a rod-like base 11 that is long in parallel with the axial direction, a binding rod element 12 that extends from the base 11, and a rotation of the binding rod member 1 that is separated from the base 11. A shaft body 13 serving as a center and an arm portion 14 connecting the shaft body 13 to the base 11 are provided. In this embodiment, these base | substrate 11, the binding rod element 12, the shaft body 13, and the arm part 14 are integrally molded by resin.
 綴じ桿要素12は多数本存在し、それらが軸心方向に沿って立ち並んでいる。個々の綴じ桿要素12は、基体11の外側面112から軸心方向に対して垂直な外側方に一旦直進して突き出し、その外方端から円弧を描くように湾曲して立ち上がっている。綴じ桿要素12の直進部分の上面は、基体11の頂面113と略面一である。綴じ桿要素12の湾曲部分の断面は、軸心方向に少しく拡張した扁平な形状、略長円状または略角丸四角状をなす。綴じ桿要素12の先端部は、合决りの如く切り欠いてある。 A large number of binding rod elements 12 exist, and they are arranged along the axial direction. The individual binding rod elements 12 protrude straightly from the outer surface 112 of the base body 11 outward in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and are curved and rise from the outer end so as to draw an arc. The upper surface of the straight portion of the binding rod element 12 is substantially flush with the top surface 113 of the base body 11. The cross section of the curved portion of the binding rod element 12 has a flat shape slightly expanded in the axial direction, a substantially oval shape, or a substantially rounded square shape. The front end portion of the binding rod element 12 is notched like a joint.
 軸体13は、円筒状の外周をなし、軸心方向に沿って伸長している。軸体13は複数(図示例では、綴じ桿要素12の本数の約半数)存在し、それらが同心軸上に所定の間隙を隔てて並んでいる。軸体13は、その軸心が基体11の内側面111と略同一平面上にあるように、基体11からやや内側方に偏倚している。 The shaft body 13 has a cylindrical outer periphery and extends along the axial direction. There are a plurality of shaft bodies 13 (in the example shown, about half the number of binding rod elements 12), which are arranged on a concentric shaft with a predetermined gap therebetween. The shaft body 13 is biased slightly inward from the base body 11 so that the axial center thereof is substantially flush with the inner surface 111 of the base body 11.
 軸体13の一端面には凹部131を、他端面には凸部132を、それぞれ形成している。凸部132は、軸体13の軸心に重なる半球状の突起である。凹部131は、軸体13の軸心位置から外側方に延びて軸体13の外周にまで達した、即ち外側方に開口した凹溝であって、その内面は縦断面視(若しくは、外側面視)凸部132、232の径と同等の径の半円筒状をなしており、その溝幅も凸部132、232の径に略等しい。さらには、凹部131の内方端縁もまた、横断面視(若しくは、軸心方向から見て)凸部132、232の径と同等の径の半円弧状となっている。 A concave portion 131 is formed on one end surface of the shaft body 13, and a convex portion 132 is formed on the other end surface. The convex portion 132 is a hemispherical protrusion that overlaps the axial center of the shaft body 13. The concave portion 131 is a concave groove that extends outward from the axial center position of the shaft body 13 and reaches the outer periphery of the shaft body 13, i.e., opens outwardly. (View) It has a semi-cylindrical shape with a diameter equivalent to the diameter of the convex portions 132 and 232, and the groove width is substantially equal to the diameter of the convex portions 132 and 232. Furthermore, the inner end edge of the recess 131 is also in the shape of a semicircular arc having a diameter equivalent to the diameter of the protrusions 132 and 232 as viewed in cross section (or viewed from the axial direction).
 腕部14は、一つの軸体13について二つ存在し、軸体13の軸心方向に沿った両端部をそれぞれ基体11に接合している。腕部14における、基体11の内側面111に連なる内方の側面141は、基体11の内側面111に対して傾斜している。他方、腕部14における、基体11の外側面112に連なる外方の側面142は、基体11の外側面112と略面一であるとともに、基体11の底面114よりも若干突出するところまで垂下している。この腕部14の外方の突出部143は、図5等に示しているように、軸心方向に沿った両端縁が外側面視Rをとったような曲面状となっている。 There are two arm portions 14 for one shaft body 13, and both end portions along the axial center direction of the shaft body 13 are joined to the base body 11. An inner side surface 141 that is continuous with the inner side surface 111 of the base body 11 in the arm portion 14 is inclined with respect to the inner side surface 111 of the base body 11. On the other hand, the outer side surface 142 of the arm portion 14 that is continuous with the outer surface 112 of the base body 11 is substantially flush with the outer surface 112 of the base body 11 and hangs down to a position that slightly protrudes from the bottom surface 114 of the base body 11. ing. As shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the projecting portion 143 on the outer side of the arm portion 14 has a curved surface shape in which both end edges along the axial direction take the outer side view R.
 基体11は、ちょうど角棒の内側面111と底面114とに跨るように、軸体13の外周面に対向する部分円筒状の凹曲面115を成形した横断面形状を有している。この凹曲面115により、基体11と軸体13との狭間にある、腕部14の対に挟まれた領域には、横断面視軸心回りの円環をなすようなスリット状の空隙15が形成される。加えて、基体11における、複数の軸体13の間隙に臨む部位では、内側面111と凹曲面115とが交わる隅角を面取りしている。基体11の外側面112と頂面113との隅角は、Rをとってある。 The base body 11 has a cross-sectional shape in which a partially cylindrical concave curved surface 115 facing the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body 13 is formed so as to straddle the inner surface 111 and the bottom surface 114 of the square bar. Due to the concave curved surface 115, a slit-like gap 15 that forms a ring around the axis of the transverse sectional view is formed in a region sandwiched between the pair of arm portions 14 between the base body 11 and the shaft body 13. It is formed. In addition, at the portion of the base 11 that faces the gap between the plurality of shaft bodies 13, the corner where the inner side surface 111 and the concave curved surface 115 intersect is chamfered. The corner angle between the outer surface 112 and the top surface 113 of the base 11 is R.
 基体11の内側面111と一端側の端面との隅角は、軸心方向に対し交差する傾斜面116となるように切り落とした形状としている。 The corner angle between the inner surface 111 of the base 11 and the end surface on one end side is cut off so as to be an inclined surface 116 that intersects the axial direction.
 第二の綴じ桿部材2は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の基体11と同等に長尺な棒状の基体21と、基体21から伸び出した綴じ桿要素22と、基体21から離間し当該綴じ桿部材2の回転中心となる軸体23と、この軸体23を基体21に連接する腕部24とを備える。そして、やはりこれら基体21、綴じ桿要素22、軸体23及び腕部24を樹脂一体成形している。 The second binding rod member 2 has a bar-like base 21 that is as long as the base 11 on the first binding rod member 1 side, a binding rod element 22 that extends from the base 21, and the base 21 that is separated from the base 21. A shaft body 23 serving as a rotation center of the binding rod member 2 and an arm portion 24 connecting the shaft body 23 to the base body 21 are provided. The base body 21, the binding rod element 22, the shaft body 23, and the arm portion 24 are also integrally molded with resin.
 綴じ桿要素22は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の綴じ桿要素12と対をなして環状の綴じ桿を構成する。各綴じ桿要素22は、基体21の外側面212から軸心方向に対して垂直な外側方に一旦直進して突き出し、その外方端から円弧を描くように湾曲して立ち上がっている。綴じ桿要素22の直進部分の上面は、基体21の頂面213と略面一である。綴じ桿要素22の湾曲部分の断面は、軸心方向に少しく拡張した扁平な形状、略長円状または略角丸四角状をなす。綴じ桿要素22の先端部は、合决りの如く切り欠いてある。 The binding rod element 22 is paired with the binding rod element 12 on the first binding rod member 1 side to form an annular binding rod. Each binding rod element 22 protrudes from the outer surface 212 of the base body 21 by going straight outward in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and is curved and rises so as to draw an arc from its outer end. The upper surface of the straight portion of the binding rod element 22 is substantially flush with the top surface 213 of the base body 21. The cross section of the curved portion of the binding rod element 22 has a flat shape slightly expanded in the axial direction, a substantially oval shape, or a substantially rounded square shape. The front end portion of the binding rod element 22 is notched like a joint.
 軸体23は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の軸体13と略同径の円筒状の外周をなし、軸心方向に沿って伸長している。軸体23は複数存在し、それらが同心軸上に所定の間隙を隔てて並んでいる。これら軸体23は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の複数の軸体13の間隙に収まるように配設してある。第二の綴じ桿部材2側の軸体23の軸心方向寸法は第一の綴じ桿部材1側の軸体13の間隙のそれに略等しく、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の軸体13の軸心方向寸法は第二の綴じ桿部材2側の軸体23の間隙のそれに略等しい。軸体23は、その軸心が基体21の内側面211と略同一平面上にあるように、基体21からやや内側方に偏倚している。 The shaft body 23 has a cylindrical outer periphery substantially the same diameter as the shaft body 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side, and extends along the axial direction. A plurality of shaft bodies 23 exist, and they are arranged on a concentric shaft with a predetermined gap therebetween. These shaft bodies 23 are disposed so as to fit in the gaps between the plurality of shaft bodies 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side. The axial center direction dimension of the shaft body 23 on the second binding rod member 2 side is substantially equal to the gap of the shaft body 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side, and the shaft body 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side has the same dimension. The axial direction dimension is substantially equal to that of the gap of the shaft body 23 on the second binding rod member 2 side. The shaft body 23 is slightly inwardly biased from the base body 21 so that the axial center thereof is substantially on the same plane as the inner side surface 211 of the base body 21.
 軸体23の一端面には凹部231を、他端面には凸部232を、それぞれ形成している。凹部231は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の軸体13の凸部132を収容する。逆に、凸部232は、第一の綴じ桿部材1側の軸体13の凹部131に挿入する。凸部232は、軸体23の軸心に重なる半球状の突起である。凹部231は、軸体23の軸心位置から外側方に延びて軸体23の外周にまで達した凹溝であって、その内面は縦断面視凸部132、232の径と同等の径の半円筒状をなしており、その溝幅も凸部132、232の径に略等しい。さらに、凹部231の内方端縁もまた、横断面視凸部132、232の径と同等の径の半円弧状となっている。 A concave portion 231 is formed on one end surface of the shaft body 23, and a convex portion 232 is formed on the other end surface. The concave portion 231 accommodates the convex portion 132 of the shaft body 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side. Conversely, the convex portion 232 is inserted into the concave portion 131 of the shaft body 13 on the first binding rod member 1 side. The convex portion 232 is a hemispherical protrusion that overlaps the axial center of the shaft body 23. The concave portion 231 is a concave groove extending outward from the axial center position of the shaft body 23 and reaching the outer periphery of the shaft body 23, and the inner surface thereof has a diameter equivalent to the diameter of the convex sections 132 and 232 in the longitudinal section. It has a semi-cylindrical shape, and the groove width is substantially equal to the diameter of the convex portions 132 and 232. Further, the inner end edge of the recess 231 is also a semicircular arc having a diameter equivalent to the diameter of the protrusions 132 and 232 in cross section.
 腕部24は、軸体23の軸心方向に沿った両端部をそれぞれ基体21に接合している。腕部24における、基体21の内側面211に連なる内方の側面241は、基体21の内側面211に対して傾斜している。他方、腕部24における、基体21の外側面212に連なる外方の側面242は、基体21の外側面212と略面一であるとともに、基体21の底面214よりも若干突出するところまで垂下している。この腕部24の外方の突出部243は、図8等に示しているように、軸心方向に沿った両端縁が外側面視Rをとったような曲面状となっている。 The arm portion 24 has both end portions along the axial direction of the shaft body 23 joined to the base body 21. An inner side surface 241 that is continuous with the inner side surface 211 of the base body 21 in the arm portion 24 is inclined with respect to the inner side surface 211 of the base body 21. On the other hand, the outer side surface 242 of the arm portion 24 that is continuous with the outer surface 212 of the base body 21 is substantially flush with the outer surface 212 of the base body 21 and hangs down to a position that slightly protrudes from the bottom surface 214 of the base body 21. ing. As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, the projecting portion 243 on the outer side of the arm portion 24 has a curved shape in which both end edges along the axial direction take the outer side view R.
 基体21は、ちょうど角棒の内側面211と底面214とに跨るように、軸体23の外周面に対向する部分円筒状の凹曲面215を成形した横断面形状を有している。この凹曲面215により、基体21と軸体23との狭間にある、腕部24の対に挟まれた領域には、横断面視軸心回りの円環をなすようなスリット状の空隙25が形成される。加えて、基体21における、複数の軸体23の間隙に臨む部位では、内側面211と凹曲面215とが交わる隅角を面取りしている。基体21の外側面212と頂面213との隅角は、Rをとってある。 The base body 21 has a cross-sectional shape in which a partially cylindrical concave curved surface 215 facing the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body 23 is formed so as to straddle the inner surface 211 and the bottom surface 214 of the square bar. Due to the concave curved surface 215, a slit-like gap 25 that forms a ring around the axis of the transverse sectional view is formed in a region between the pair of arm portions 24 between the base 21 and the shaft body 23. It is formed. In addition, at the portion of the base 21 that faces the gap between the plurality of shaft bodies 23, the corner where the inner side surface 211 and the concave curved surface 215 intersect is chamfered. The corner angle between the outer surface 212 and the top surface 213 of the base body 21 is R.
 基体21の内側面211と一端側の端面との隅角は、軸心方向に対し交差する傾斜面216となるように切り落とした形状としている。 The corner angle between the inner surface 211 of the substrate 21 and the end surface on one end side is cut off so as to be an inclined surface 216 that intersects the axial direction.
 また、第二の綴じ桿部材2の基体21の他端近傍に、フック26を設けている。フック26は、コイルばね4の一端を支持するためのもので、基体21の底面214から突出している。 Further, a hook 26 is provided in the vicinity of the other end of the base 21 of the second binding rod member 2. The hook 26 is for supporting one end of the coil spring 4 and protrudes from the bottom surface 214 of the base body 21.
 操作部材3は、軸心方向に対して平行に延伸し並立した側壁31、32と、両側壁31、32を連結する底壁33とを備える。本実施形態では、これら側壁31、32及び底壁33を樹脂一体成形しており、側壁31、32と底壁33とで略C字またはU字管状の周壁を形作っている。操作部材3の全長は、綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21のそれよりも大きい。 The operation member 3 includes side walls 31 and 32 extending parallel to the axial direction and side walls 31 and 32, and bottom walls 33 connecting both side walls 31 and 32. In the present embodiment, the side walls 31 and 32 and the bottom wall 33 are integrally formed with resin, and the side walls 31 and 32 and the bottom wall 33 form a substantially C-shaped or U-shaped peripheral wall. The total length of the operation member 3 is larger than that of the base bodies 11 and 21 of the binding rod members 1 and 2.
 各側壁31、32の上端縁には、複数箇所に切欠311、321を形成してある。一方側の側壁31の切欠311の数は第一の綴じ桿部材1の腕部14の数と同じであり、他方側の側壁32の切欠321の数は第二の綴じ桿部材2の腕部24の数と同じである。また、一方側の側壁31の切欠311の位置は第一の綴じ桿部材1の腕部14の配置に対応しており、他方側の側壁32の切欠321の位置は第二の綴じ桿部材2の腕部24の配置に対応している。それ故、切欠311と切欠321とは、軸心方向にずれている。切欠311、321の軸心方向に沿った開口幅寸法は、腕部14、24の軸心方向寸法よりも多少大きい。切欠311、321の下端は、側壁31、32の内側面近傍を除き、外側方に向かうほど下方に落ち込む傾斜端面であり、側壁の内側面近傍においてのみ上向面となっている。 Notches 311 and 321 are formed at a plurality of locations on the upper edge of each side wall 31 and 32. The number of notches 311 on the side wall 31 on one side is the same as the number of arm portions 14 of the first binding rod member 1, and the number of notches 321 on the side wall 32 on the other side is the arm portion of the second binding rod member 2. It is the same as the number of 24. The position of the notch 311 on the side wall 31 on one side corresponds to the position of the arm portion 14 of the first binding rod member 1, and the position of the notch 321 on the side wall 32 on the other side corresponds to the second binding rod member 2. This corresponds to the arrangement of the arm portions 24. Therefore, the notch 311 and the notch 321 are shifted in the axial direction. The opening width dimension along the axial direction of the notches 311 and 321 is slightly larger than the axial dimension of the arm portions 14 and 24. The lower ends of the cutouts 311 and 321 are inclined end surfaces that fall downward toward the outer side except for the vicinity of the inner side surfaces of the side walls 31 and 32, and are upward only in the vicinity of the inner side surfaces of the side walls.
 さらに、両側壁31、32における、切欠311、321の形成箇所から軸心方向に偏倚した場所に、突起312、322を設けている。突起312、322は、側壁31、32の内側面から内側方に対をなして突出している。 Furthermore, the projections 312 and 322 are provided at the positions deviated in the axial direction from the positions where the notches 311 and 321 are formed on both side walls 31 and 32. The protrusions 312 and 322 protrude in pairs from the inner side surfaces of the side walls 31 and 32 inward.
 両側壁31、32の内法は、綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23の径に略等しい。また、底壁33は、軸体13、23の径に略等しい内径を有する略部分円筒となっている。因みに、底壁33における、突起312、322の直下に穿たれている貫通孔331は、突起312、322を成形するための型抜き用の孔である。 The inner method of the side walls 31 and 32 is substantially equal to the diameter of the shafts 13 and 23 of the binding rod members 1 and 2. The bottom wall 33 is a substantially partial cylinder having an inner diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the shaft bodies 13 and 23. Incidentally, the through-hole 331 formed in the bottom wall 33 immediately below the protrusions 312 and 322 is a die-cutting hole for forming the protrusions 312 and 322.
 操作部材3の周壁31、32、33によって包囲された内部空間は、操作部材3の軸心方向に沿った両端部にて閉塞されている。操作部材3の一端は、ユーザがこれを把持するための把手34となる。そして、この把手34に隣接する位置に、拡開部35を設けている。拡開部35は、操作部材3の他端に向かって延びるブロック状の部位で、その先端側に平面視くさび形をなすように両外側方を向いた傾斜面351、352を形成してある。拡開部35の傾斜面351、352は、それぞれが軸心方向に対して交差しており、両綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21の一端に形成した各傾斜面116、216に略平行である。操作部材3の拡開部35と両綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21の一端とは、後述する操作力変換機構を構成する。 The internal space surrounded by the peripheral walls 31, 32, 33 of the operation member 3 is closed at both ends along the axial direction of the operation member 3. One end of the operation member 3 serves as a handle 34 for the user to hold it. An expanding portion 35 is provided at a position adjacent to the handle 34. The expanding portion 35 is a block-like portion extending toward the other end of the operation member 3, and inclined surfaces 351, 352 facing both outer sides are formed on the tip side so as to form a wedge shape in plan view. . The inclined surfaces 351 and 352 of the expanding portion 35 intersect with each other with respect to the axial direction, and are substantially similar to the inclined surfaces 116 and 216 formed at one end of the bases 11 and 21 of the binding rod members 1 and 2. Parallel. The expanding portion 35 of the operation member 3 and one ends of the base bodies 11 and 21 of the binding binding members 1 and 2 constitute an operation force conversion mechanism described later.
 また、操作部材3の他端近傍に、フック36を設けている。フック36は、コイルばね4の他端を支持するためのもので、第二の綴じ桿部材2に設けたフック26と軸心方向に沿って対向する。 Further, a hook 36 is provided in the vicinity of the other end of the operation member 3. The hook 36 is for supporting the other end of the coil spring 4 and faces the hook 26 provided on the second binding rod member 2 along the axial direction.
 本実施形態の綴じ具0を組み立てるにあたっては、まず、第一の綴じ桿部材1の基体11の内側面111と第二の綴じ桿部材2の基体21の内側面211とを当接ないし近接させ、第一の綴じ桿部材1の軸体13と第二の綴じ桿部材2の軸体23とを同心軸上に配置する。軸体13の凸部132は軸体23の凹部231内に挿入し、軸体23の凸部232は軸体13の凹部131内に挿入する。両綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23は、互いに密接ないし近接して交互に並ぶ様相となる。 In assembling the binding tool 0 of the present embodiment, first, the inner surface 111 of the base 11 of the first binding rod member 1 and the inner surface 211 of the base 21 of the second binding rod member 2 are brought into contact with or close to each other. The shaft body 13 of the first binding rod member 1 and the shaft body 23 of the second binding rod member 2 are arranged on a concentric axis. The convex portion 132 of the shaft body 13 is inserted into the concave portion 231 of the shaft body 23, and the convex portion 232 of the shaft body 23 is inserted into the concave portion 131 of the shaft body 13. The shaft bodies 13 and 23 of the both binding rod members 1 and 2 are arranged in an alternating manner in close proximity to each other or close to each other.
 そして、両綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23をくわえ込むように操作部材3を組み付ける。即ち、操作部材3の側壁31、32及び底壁33に包囲された内部空間に、両綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23を嵌め入れる。これにより、各綴じ桿部材1、2が、軸体13、23を回転軸として回動することが可能となる。なおかつ、操作部材3が、軸体13、23に沿って軸心方向にスライド移動することが可能となる。操作部材3の側壁31、32の内面の突起312、322は、綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23に係合し、軸体13、23が操作部材3から脱出することを抑止する。綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23は、操作部材3によって被覆される。 Then, the operation member 3 is assembled so that the shaft bodies 13 and 23 of the both binding rod members 1 and 2 are inserted. That is, the shaft bodies 13 and 23 of both binding rod members 1 and 2 are fitted into the internal space surrounded by the side walls 31 and 32 and the bottom wall 33 of the operation member 3. As a result, the binding rod members 1 and 2 can rotate about the shaft bodies 13 and 23 as rotation axes. In addition, the operation member 3 can slide along the shaft bodies 13 and 23 in the axial direction. The protrusions 312 and 322 on the inner surfaces of the side walls 31 and 32 of the operation member 3 engage with the shaft bodies 13 and 23 of the binding rod members 1 and 2, and prevent the shaft bodies 13 and 23 from escaping from the operation member 3. . The shaft bodies 13 and 23 of the binding rod members 1 and 2 are covered with the operation member 3.
 なお、予め、第二の綴じ桿部材2に設けたフック26と操作部材3に設けたフック36とに、コイルばね4の両端をそれぞれ掛け止めておく。綴じ桿部材1、2の軸体13、23を操作部材3に嵌め入れることで、操作部材3に設けたフック36は、第二の綴じ桿部材2に設けたフック26よりもさらに他端側に位置づけられる。 It should be noted that both ends of the coil spring 4 are respectively hooked on the hook 26 provided on the second binding rod member 2 and the hook 36 provided on the operation member 3 in advance. By fitting the shafts 13 and 23 of the binding rod members 1 and 2 into the operation member 3, the hook 36 provided on the operation member 3 is further on the other end side than the hook 26 provided on the second binding rod member 2. Is positioned.
 第一の綴じ桿部材1と第二の綴じ桿部材2とは、軸体13、23の軸心周りに相対的に回動する。その回動動作を通じて、綴じ桿要素12と綴じ桿要素22とで構成する環状の綴じ桿を開閉することができる。図6、図10等に示すように、綴じ桿を閉じた状態では、一方側の綴じ桿要素12の先端部と他方側の綴じ桿要素22の先端部とが合决り構造の如く軸心方向に重なり合い、綴じ桿に綴じ止めている紙葉類Sの抜出を阻止する。図7、図11等に示すように、綴じ桿を開いた状態では、両綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部同士が離反して、紙葉類Sの抜出を許容する。 The first binding rod member 1 and the second binding rod member 2 rotate relatively around the shaft centers of the shaft bodies 13 and 23. Through the turning operation, the annular binding rod constituted by the binding rod element 12 and the binding rod element 22 can be opened and closed. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10 and the like, when the binding rod is closed, the tip of the binding rod element 12 on one side and the tip of the binding rod element 22 on the other side are axially aligned like a joint structure. The paper sheets S that overlap in the direction and are bound to the binding rod are prevented from being pulled out. As shown in FIGS. 7, 11, etc., in a state where the binding rod is opened, the leading ends of both binding rod elements 12, 22 are separated from each other, and the paper sheet S is allowed to be extracted.
 操作部材3は、綴じ桿部材1、2に対して軸心方向に相対変位し、図10に示すロック位置と、図11に示すアンロック位置とを選択的にとり得る。操作部材3がロック位置にあるとき、一方側の側壁31に形成している切欠311は同じ側の綴じ桿部材1の腕部14に対して軸心方向にずれており、他方側の側壁32に形成している切欠321も同じ側の綴じ桿部材2の腕部24に対して軸心方向にずれている。そのため、図12ないし図15に示しているように、両綴じ桿部材1、2を綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動させようとしても、腕部14、24が操作部材3の側壁31、32の端縁に衝突してしまい、回動させることができない。換言すれば、操作部材3の側壁31、32における切り欠かれていない端縁がストッパとなって、綴じ桿を開放することを禁止する。 The operation member 3 is relatively displaced in the axial direction with respect to the binding rod members 1 and 2, and can selectively take the lock position shown in FIG. 10 and the unlock position shown in FIG. When the operation member 3 is in the locked position, the notch 311 formed in the side wall 31 on one side is displaced in the axial direction with respect to the arm portion 14 of the binding rod member 1 on the same side, and the side wall 32 on the other side. The notch 321 formed in the above is also displaced in the axial direction with respect to the arm portion 24 of the binding rod member 2 on the same side. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, even if both the binding rod members 1, 2 are rotated in the direction to open the binding rod, the arm portions 14, 24 remain on the side walls 31, 32 of the operation member 3. It will collide with the edge of this and cannot be rotated. In other words, the uncut end edges of the side walls 31 and 32 of the operation member 3 serve as stoppers and prohibit the opening of the binding rod.
 また、このとき、第一の綴じ桿部材1の基体11と、第二の綴じ桿部材2の基体21とは、その内側面111、211同士が当接ないし近接した状態となる。操作部材3の一端側に設けた拡開部35は、両綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21の一端に(近接はしているものの)必ずしも接触していない。操作部材3に設けたフック36は、第二の綴じ桿部材2に設けたフック26に比較的近い位置にあり、両フック26、36に掛けているコイルばね4は張力を発揮しない。 Further, at this time, the base 11 of the first binding rod member 1 and the base 21 of the second binding rod member 2 are in a state in which the inner side surfaces 111 and 211 are in contact with or close to each other. The expanding portion 35 provided on one end side of the operation member 3 does not necessarily contact one end of the base bodies 11 and 21 of the binding binding members 1 and 2 (although they are close to each other). The hook 36 provided on the operation member 3 is located relatively close to the hook 26 provided on the second binding rod member 2, and the coil spring 4 hung on both the hooks 26 and 36 does not exert tension.
 翻って、操作部材3をロック位置からアンロック位置に向けてスライド移動させると、一方側の側壁31に形成している切欠311の軸心方向に沿った位置が同じ側の綴じ桿部材1の腕部14に合致し、また他方側の側壁32に形成している切欠321の軸心方向に沿った位置も同じ側の綴じ桿部材2の腕部24に合致する。従って、腕部14、24が切欠311、321内に進入できるようになる。のみならず、同一の軸部131、23に連接する腕部14、24の対に挟まれた空隙15、25に、操作部材3の側壁31、32における、切欠311、321の対に挟まれた部位が進入できるようにもなる。結果として、図16ないし図19に示すように、両綴じ桿部材1、2を相対回動させて綴じ桿を開放することが許容されることとなる。 In turn, when the operating member 3 is slid from the locked position toward the unlocked position, the position along the axial direction of the notch 311 formed in the side wall 31 on one side is the same as that of the binding rod member 1 on the same side. The position along the axial direction of the notch 321 formed in the side wall 32 on the other side also matches the arm portion 24 of the binding rod member 2 on the same side. Accordingly, the arm portions 14 and 24 can enter the notches 311 and 321. In addition, the gaps 15 and 25 sandwiched between the pair of arms 14 and 24 connected to the same shaft portions 131 and 23 are sandwiched between the pair of notches 311 and 321 in the side walls 31 and 32 of the operation member 3. You can also enter the part. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, it is allowed to open the binding rod by relatively rotating both the binding rod members 1 and 2.
 同時に、操作部材3がロック位置からアンロック位置へと変位する過程で、操作部材3の一端側に設けた拡開部35の傾斜面351、352が、両綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21の一端に形成している傾斜面116、216に接触し、さらにはこれら基体11、21を互いに離反する方向に押し広げる。最終的に、操作部材3の拡開部35は両綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、21の内側面111、211間に入り込む。つまり、拡開部35と基体11、21の一端とが操作力変換機構として働き、操作部材3を軸心方向にスライドさせる操作力を、綴じ桿部材1、2を綴じ桿が開放する方向に回動させる力に変換する。 At the same time, in the process in which the operating member 3 is displaced from the locked position to the unlocked position, the inclined surfaces 351 and 352 of the expanding portion 35 provided on one end side of the operating member 3 cause the bases 11 of both binding rod members 1 and 2. , 21 is in contact with the inclined surfaces 116, 216 formed at one end of the substrate 21, and further, the base members 11, 21 are pushed away from each other. Finally, the expanded portion 35 of the operation member 3 enters between the inner side surfaces 111 and 211 of the base bodies 11 and 21 of both binding rod members 1 and 2. That is, the expanding portion 35 and one end of the bases 11 and 21 function as an operating force conversion mechanism, and the operating force that slides the operating member 3 in the axial direction is set in the direction in which the binding rod members 1 and 2 open the binding rod. Convert to turning force.
 総じて言えば、操作部材3をロック位置からアンロック位置へと変位させることで、ストッパが両綴じ桿部材1、2の腕部14、24から軸心方向に沿って退避しつつ、拡開部35が両綴じ桿部材1、2を押し広げて綴じ桿を開放させる。また、操作部材3の変位により、操作部材3に設けたフック36が第二の綴じ桿部材2に設けたフック26から遠ざかるため、両フック26、36に掛けているコイルばね4が引き伸ばされて張力を発揮するようになる。 Generally speaking, by displacing the operating member 3 from the locked position to the unlocked position, the stopper is retracted from the arms 14 and 24 of the binding binding members 1 and 2 along the axial direction, while the expansion portion 35 spreads both the binding rod members 1 and 2 and opens the binding rod. Further, since the hook 36 provided on the operation member 3 moves away from the hook 26 provided on the second binding rod member 2 due to the displacement of the operation member 3, the coil spring 4 hung on both the hooks 26, 36 is stretched. Demonstrate tension.
 綴じ桿を開放している間は、操作部材3をアンロック位置からロック位置に向けて変位させる方向の弾性付勢力、即ちコイルばね4の引っ張り張力が働くが、綴じ桿部材1、2の腕部14、24が側壁31、32の切欠311、321の開口縁に係合することから、操作部材3はアンロック位置に維持される。この状態で、ユーザが両綴じ桿要素12、22を手指で摘んで閉じる操作を行うと、綴じ桿部材1、2が互いに相寄る方向に回動し、各腕部14、24が操作部材3の側壁31、32の切欠311、321から脱出する。従って、操作部材3がロック位置に復帰することが許容される。 While the binding rod is opened, an elastic urging force in a direction to displace the operation member 3 from the unlocked position toward the locked position, that is, the tensile tension of the coil spring 4, works. Since the portions 14 and 24 engage with the opening edges of the notches 311 and 321 of the side walls 31 and 32, the operation member 3 is maintained in the unlocked position. In this state, when the user performs an operation of gripping and closing the binding rod elements 12 and 22 with fingers, the binding rod members 1 and 2 rotate in a direction in which the binding rod members 1 and 2 are close to each other. It escapes from the notches 311 and 321 of the side walls 31 and 32. Therefore, the operation member 3 is allowed to return to the lock position.
 綴じ桿部材1、2の基体11、22は長尺であるので、多数本存在する綴じ桿の一部を摘んで閉じようとしても、当該部位と他の部位との間でねじれを生じ、綴じ桿部材1、2全体が綴じ桿を閉じる方向に回動しないおそれがある。しかしながら、弾性付勢されている操作部材3がロック位置に向けて変位しようとし、その力が側壁31、32の切欠311、321の開口縁を介して綴じ桿部材1、2の腕部14、24を内側方に押し戻そうとするため、基体11、21のねじれが抑制され、綴じ桿部材1、2全体が回動して全ての綴じ桿を一斉に閉じることができる。 Since the bases 11 and 22 of the binding rod members 1 and 2 are long, even if a portion of a large number of binding rods are picked up and closed, twisting occurs between the portion and other portions, and the binding is performed. There is a possibility that the entire scissors members 1 and 2 may not rotate in the direction of closing the binding scissors. However, the operation member 3 that is elastically biased tends to be displaced toward the lock position, and the force is applied to the arm portions 14 of the binding rod members 1 and 2 through the opening edges of the notches 311 and 321 of the side walls 31 and 32. Since it is going to push 24 back inward, the twist of the base | substrates 11 and 21 is suppressed, the binding hook members 1 and 2 whole rotate, and all the binding hooks can be closed simultaneously.
 本実施形態によれば、所定の軸心周りに相対回動可能であり、その回動動作を通じて綴じ桿を開閉させる一組の綴じ桿部材1、2と、前記綴じ桿部材1、2に対して相対変位可能であり、綴じ桿部材1、2が前記綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動することを禁止するロック位置とこれを許容するアンロック位置とを選択的にとり得る操作部材3と、前記綴じ桿部材1、2と前記操作部材3との間に介在し、前記操作部材3を前記ロック位置から前記アンロック位置に向けて変位させる操作力を、前記綴じ桿部材を前記綴じ桿が開放する方向に回動させる力に変換する操作力変換機構とを具備する綴じ具0を構成したため、操作部材3をアンロック位置に変位させる操作によって綴じ桿を開かせることができる。従って、綴じ桿が多数本存在していたとしても、それらを一斉に開放する操作が容易であって利便性が高い。 According to this embodiment, a pair of binding rod members 1 and 2 that are capable of relative rotation around a predetermined axis and that open and close the binding rod through the rotation operation, and the binding rod members 1 and 2 An operation member 3 that is capable of relative displacement, and that can selectively take a lock position that prohibits the binding rod members 1 and 2 from rotating in a direction to open the binding rod and an unlock position that allows the binding rod; The binding rod member is interposed between the binding rod members 1 and 2 and the operation member 3, and an operation force for displacing the operation member 3 from the locked position toward the unlocked position is indicated by the binding rod member. Since the binding tool 0 including the operation force conversion mechanism that converts the force to rotate in the opening direction is configured, the binding rod can be opened by an operation of displacing the operation member 3 to the unlock position. Therefore, even if there are a large number of binding folds, the operation of opening them all at once is easy and highly convenient.
 前記操作部材3が前記ロック位置から前記アンロック位置へと変位する過程で前記両綴じ桿部材1、2間に差し入って両者の間を押し広げる拡開部35を操作部材3に設けており、この拡開部35を要素として前記操作力変換機構を構成しているため、部品点数が徒に増加せず、コスト面で有利となる。 The operation member 3 is provided with an expanding portion 35 that is inserted between the binding rod members 1 and 2 and pushes between them in the process in which the operation member 3 is displaced from the locked position to the unlocked position. Since the operating force conversion mechanism is configured with the expanded portion 35 as an element, the number of parts does not increase easily, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
 前記操作部材3は、前記軸心方向に沿ってスライド可能であり、前記拡開部35は、操作部材3のスライド方向に対して交差する傾斜面351、352を有し、この傾斜面351、352を介して前記綴じ桿部材1、2に当接して両綴じ桿部材1、2間を押し広げるものであるため、シンプルな構造となり、故障のリスクも小さくなる。 The operating member 3 is slidable along the axial direction, and the expanding portion 35 has inclined surfaces 351 and 352 that intersect the sliding direction of the operating member 3, and the inclined surface 351, Since it is in contact with the binding rod members 1 and 2 via 352 and pushes between the binding rod members 1 and 2, the structure is simple and the risk of failure is reduced.
 前記綴じ桿部材1、2は、前記軸心方向に沿って延伸し、同方向に沿って複数本の綴じ桿を並べて設けたものであり、前記拡開部35は、前記綴じ桿部材1、2の一端側から両綴じ桿部材1、2間に差し入るものであるため、操作力変換機構を綴じ具0の中間部ではなく端部に配することができる。よって、綴じ具0の組立作業が難化しない。 The binding rod members 1 and 2 extend along the axial direction and are provided with a plurality of binding rods arranged along the same direction, and the expanding portion 35 includes the binding rod member 1, 2 is inserted between the two binding rod members 1 and 2 from one end side, the operating force conversion mechanism can be arranged not at the middle portion of the binding tool 0 but at the end portion. Therefore, the assembly work of the binding tool 0 does not become difficult.
 前記操作部材3を前記アンロック位置から前記ロック位置に向けて変位させる方向に弾性付勢する弾性付勢部材4を具備しているため、綴じ桿を閉じる回動方向に弾性付勢するばね等が不要である。当該弾性付勢部材4の綴じ桿部材の配置の自由度も高い。 Since the elastic urging member 4 that elastically urges the operation member 3 in the direction to displace the operation member 3 from the unlock position toward the lock position is provided, a spring that elastically urges the binding rod in the turning direction to close the binding rod. Is unnecessary. The degree of freedom of arrangement of the binding rod member of the elastic biasing member 4 is also high.
 前記綴じ桿部材1、2が前記綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動することを禁止するストッパを前記操作部材3に設けており、前記操作部材3が前記ロック位置にあるときに前記ストッパが前記綴じ桿部材1、2の所定部位14、24に当接する一方、操作部材3がアンロック位置にあるときには綴じ桿部材1、2を回動させてもストッパが綴じ桿部材の所定部位14、24には接触しない。綴じ桿部材1、3及び操作部材3によって綴じ具0の基本構成が完結するため、部品点数の削減につながる。 The operating member 3 is provided with a stopper that prohibits the binding rod members 1 and 2 from rotating in a direction to open the binding rod, and the stopper is moved when the operating member 3 is in the locked position. While contacting the predetermined portions 14 and 24 of the binding rod members 1 and 2, while the operating member 3 is in the unlocked position, the stopper remains on the predetermined portions 14 and 24 of the binding rod member even if the binding rod members 1 and 2 are rotated. Do not touch. Since the basic configuration of the binding tool 0 is completed by the binding rod members 1 and 3 and the operation member 3, the number of parts is reduced.
 並びに、本実施形態によれば、ヒンジを介してその軸心周りに相対回動可能であり、回動動作を通じて綴じ桿を開閉させる一組の綴じ桿部材1、2と、前記ヒンジの軸13、23を覆うとともに前記綴じ桿部材1、2に対し前記軸心方向に沿ってスライド可能であり、綴じ桿部材1、2が前記綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動することを禁止するストッパを有し、当該ストッパが綴じ桿部材1、2の所定部位に接触するロック位置と、綴じ桿部材1、2を回動させても当該ストッパが綴じ桿部材1、2の所定部位14、24に接触しないアンロック位置とを選択的にとり得る操作部材3とを具備する綴じ具0を構成したため、ヒンジの軸13、23が凸凹した感触をユーザに与える可能性が小さくなる。のみならず、操作部材3を軸心方向にスライド操作することで、綴じ桿の開放状態と閉止状態との切り替えを行い得る。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the pair of binding rod members 1 and 2 that can be relatively rotated around the axis via the hinge and open and close the binding rod through the pivoting operation, and the shaft 13 of the hinge. 23, and a stopper that is slidable along the axial direction with respect to the binding rod members 1 and 2 and prohibits the binding rod members 1 and 2 from rotating in a direction to open the binding rod. A locking position where the stopper comes into contact with a predetermined portion of the binding rod members 1 and 2, and even if the binding rod members 1 and 2 are rotated, the stopper is fixed to the predetermined portions 14 and 24 of the binding rod members 1 and 2. Since the binding tool 0 including the operation member 3 that can selectively take the unlocking position that does not contact is configured, the possibility that the hinge shafts 13 and 23 are uneven is less likely to be given to the user. Not only can the operating member 3 be slid in the axial direction to switch the binding rod between the open state and the closed state.
 前記ヒンジの軸13、23が略円筒状の外周をなし、前記操作部材3がこのヒンジの軸13、23をくわえ込むようにヒンジの軸13、23に係合するものであるため、操作部材3の形状が徒に複雑化しない。また、操作部材3の外周面を平滑化して手触りの良化を図ることができる。 Since the shafts 13 and 23 of the hinge have a substantially cylindrical outer periphery, and the operation member 3 is engaged with the shafts 13 and 23 of the hinge so as to hold the hinge shafts 13 and 23, the operation member The shape of 3 is not complicated. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the operation member 3 can be smoothed to improve the touch.
 前記一組の綴じ桿部材1、2の各々に略円筒状の外周をなし前記ヒンジの軸となる軸体13、23を設け、両者の軸体13、23を直列に配置した状態で前記操作部材3がこれらを相対回動可能に保持するため、各軸体13、23の全てを貫通するような長い細棒が不要となる。 Each of the pair of binding rod members 1 and 2 is provided with shaft bodies 13 and 23 that form a substantially cylindrical outer periphery and serve as a shaft of the hinge, and the shaft bodies 13 and 23 are arranged in series with the operation. Since the member 3 holds these so as to be capable of relative rotation, a long thin bar penetrating all the shaft bodies 13 and 23 is not necessary.
 前記両軸体13、23の互いに対向する端面の一方に凸部132、232を形成し、他方にこの凸部132、232を受け入れる凹部131、231を形成して、これら凸部132、232と凹部131、231との係合構造を構成しているため、綴じ具0の組立作業の容易化に資する上、綴じ具0としての一体性が高まり、何れかの綴じ桿部材1、2が脱落するようなおそれも小さくなる。 Convex portions 132 and 232 are formed on one of the end faces of the shaft bodies 13 and 23 facing each other, and concave portions 131 and 231 for receiving the convex portions 132 and 232 are formed on the other. Since the engagement structure with the recesses 131 and 231 is configured, it contributes to the ease of assembling work of the binding tool 0, and the integrity as the binding tool 0 is enhanced, and any binding rod member 1 or 2 is dropped. The risk of doing so is also reduced.
 前記操作部材3は、並立する側壁31、32と両側壁31、32を連結する底壁33とを備え、側壁31、32及び底壁33によって包囲される内部空間に前記ヒンジの軸13、23を収容するものであり、前記側壁31、32の端縁に切欠311、321を形成し、切欠311、321に隣接する(切り欠いていない)部位を前記ストッパとしており、前記操作部材3が前記アンロック位置にあるときには前記綴じ桿部材1、2の所定部位14、24がこの切欠311、321内に収まるものであるため、綴じ桿部材1、2及び操作部材3によって綴じ具0の基本構成が完結し、部品点数の削減につながる。 The operation member 3 includes side walls 31 and 32 arranged side by side and a bottom wall 33 connecting both side walls 31 and 32, and the hinge shafts 13 and 23 are disposed in an internal space surrounded by the side walls 31 and 32 and the bottom wall 33. Cutouts 311 and 321 are formed at the edges of the side walls 31 and 32, and a portion adjacent to the cutouts 311 and 321 (not cutout) is used as the stopper. Since the predetermined portions 14 and 24 of the binding rod members 1 and 2 are accommodated in the notches 311 and 321 when in the unlocked position, the basic configuration of the binding tool 0 is formed by the binding rod members 1 and 2 and the operation member 3. Is completed, leading to a reduction in the number of parts.
 前記操作部材3を前記アンロック位置から前記ロック位置に向けて変位させる方向に弾性付勢する弾性付勢部材4を具備しており、綴じ桿を閉じる回動方向に弾性付勢するばね等が不要である。当該弾性付勢部材4の綴じ桿部材の配置の自由度も高い。 An elastic urging member 4 that elastically urges the operation member 3 in a direction that displaces the operation member 3 from the unlock position toward the lock position, and a spring that urges elastically in a rotational direction that closes the binding rod. It is unnecessary. The degree of freedom of arrangement of the binding rod member of the elastic biasing member 4 is also high.
 <第二実施形態>続いて、図20ないし図41に示す、本発明の他の実施形態を説明する。但し、前述した第一実施形態と同一または同等の構成部分には同一の符号を付すとともに、その説明を省略または簡略化する。当該構成部分については、第一実施形態の詳説を参照されたい。図20ないし図37は、ちょうど第一実施形態の図2ないし図19に各々対応している。 <Second Embodiment> Next, another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 20 to 41 will be described. However, the same or equivalent components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified. Refer to the detailed description of the first embodiment for the components. 20 to 37 correspond to FIGS. 2 to 19 of the first embodiment, respectively.
 本実施形態の綴じ具0もまた、開閉可能な複数本の綴じ桿を備えたリング綴じ具である。綴じ桿は、予め紙葉類Sに穿たれている綴じ孔に挿通されて、紙葉類Sを綴じ止める。そして、ノートの中紙となる複数枚のリーフやクリアブックのリフィル等Sを綴じることで、リングノートとしての用途に供することができる。リングノートは、ページを180°の角度に開いた見開き状態とすることが可能である。 The binding tool 0 of the present embodiment is also a ring binding tool provided with a plurality of binding rods that can be opened and closed. The binding fold is inserted into a binding hole that has been made in the paper sheet S in advance, and binds the paper sheet S. Then, by binding a plurality of leaves or clear book refills S which are the middle sheets of the notebook, it can be used as a ring notebook. The ring notebook can be in a spread state where the page is opened at an angle of 180 °.
 以降、本実施形態と第一実施形態との相異点を列挙する。まず、図30ないし図33等に示すように、軸心方向から見て、本実施形態における綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部は湾曲してはおらず、相手方の綴じ桿要素21、11に向かうように直線的に伸びている。その伸長方向は、基体11、21の頂面113、213に対して略平行である。綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部が合决りになっている点は、第一実施形態と同様である。 Hereinafter, differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are listed. First, as shown in FIGS. 30 to 33 and the like, when viewed from the axial direction, the leading ends of the binding rod elements 12 and 22 in this embodiment are not curved, and are directed to the binding rod elements 21 and 11 of the other party. So as to extend linearly. The extending direction is substantially parallel to the top surfaces 113 and 213 of the base bodies 11 and 21. The point that the front ends of the binding rod elements 12 and 22 are stitched together is the same as in the first embodiment.
 綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部が直線的に伸びていることにより、綴じ孔に綴じ桿要素12、22を挿通して綴じている紙葉類Sのページ繰り操作が円滑になる。のみならず、綴じ桿部材1、2の成形が容易になるという効用をも得られる。各綴じ桿部材1、2はそれぞれ樹脂成形品であるが、第一実施形態における綴じ桿部材1、2では、綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部とそれ以外の部分とを一括に成形することができず、二色成形しなくてはならない弱みがあった。本実施形態では、綴じ桿部材1、2を作製するにあたり、成形金型における綴じ桿要素12、22の基端側(または、基体11、21の側)にあたる箇所から金型に樹脂を注入し、その樹脂を綴じ桿要素12、22の先端側にあたる箇所まで行き渡らせることが容易である上、成形後に金型を綴じ桿要素12、22の先端部の伸長方向に沿って抜くことが可能となる。 Since the leading end portions of the binding rod elements 12 and 22 extend linearly, the page turning operation of the paper sheet S that is bound and inserted through the binding rod elements 12 and 22 into the binding hole becomes smooth. In addition, the utility of facilitating the forming of the binding rod members 1 and 2 can be obtained. Each binding rod member 1 and 2 is a resin molded product. However, in the binding rod members 1 and 2 in the first embodiment, the leading end portions of the binding rod elements 12 and 22 and the other portions are molded together. However, there was a weakness that had to be two-color molded. In the present embodiment, when the binding rod members 1 and 2 are manufactured, a resin is injected into the mold from a position corresponding to the proximal end side of the binding rod elements 12 and 22 (or the bases 11 and 21 side) in the molding die. In addition, it is easy to spread the resin to a position corresponding to the tip side of the binding rod elements 12 and 22, and after the molding, the mold can be pulled out along the extending direction of the tip portion of the binding rod elements 12 and 22. Become.
 次に、本実施形態における操作部材3は、第一実施形態における操作部材3とは幾つかの細部が異なっている。図30ないし図33等に示すように、本実施形態における操作部材3の底壁33は、第一実施形態におけるそれと比較して、より平坦に近い形状となっている。また、この底壁33に穿っている貫通孔331の数が、第一実施形態よりも少ない。 Next, the operation member 3 in this embodiment is different from the operation member 3 in the first embodiment in some details. As shown in FIG. 30 thru | or 33 etc., the bottom wall 33 of the operation member 3 in this embodiment has a shape nearer flatness than that in the first embodiment. Further, the number of through holes 331 formed in the bottom wall 33 is smaller than that in the first embodiment.
 そもそも、底壁33の孔331は、側壁31、32から内側方に突出する突起312、322を成形する型を抜くために形成されるものである。第一実施形態では、一方側の側壁311から突出する突起312と他方側の側壁321から突出する突起322とが常に対をなして両立しており、孔331の数も自然と多くなっていた。これに対し、図34及び図37に示すように、本実施形態では、操作部材3の端部及び中間部を除き、突起312と突起322とは対をなしておらず、両者は軸心方向に沿って互いに偏倚している。換言すれば、突起312と突起322とを、軸心方向に沿って互い違いに設けている。故に、本実施形態では、孔331の数が少なくなっており、操作部材3の強度が向上しているだけでなく、ユーザが底壁33に指を触れたときの手触りも向上している。 In the first place, the hole 331 in the bottom wall 33 is formed to remove a mold for forming the projections 312 and 322 protruding inward from the side walls 31 and 32. In the first embodiment, the protrusion 312 protruding from the side wall 311 on one side and the protrusion 322 protruding from the side wall 321 on the other side are always paired and the number of holes 331 is naturally increased. . On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 37, in the present embodiment, the protrusion 312 and the protrusion 322 are not paired except for the end portion and the intermediate portion of the operation member 3, and both are in the axial direction. Are biased toward each other. In other words, the protrusions 312 and the protrusions 322 are provided alternately along the axial direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of the holes 331 is reduced, and not only the strength of the operation member 3 is improved, but also the touch when the user touches the bottom wall 33 is improved.
 本実施形態における操作部材3の把手34は、第一実施形態における把手34よりも短く切り詰めてある。図24、図25、図28、図29等に示すように、平面視把手34の端縁は、拡開部35の傾斜面351、352とともに、概ね涙滴型の縁辺をなすような外観を呈している。加えて、把手34に最も近い位置にある側壁31の切欠311の軸心方向に沿った寸法を、他の切欠311、321と比較して小さくしている。綴じ桿を開放するときにこの切欠311内に収まる綴じ桿部材1の腕部14についても、軸心方向に沿った寸法を同寸以下となるように設定してある。 The handle 34 of the operation member 3 in this embodiment is cut shorter than the handle 34 in the first embodiment. 24, FIG. 25, FIG. 28, FIG. 29, and the like, the end edge of the planar handle 34 has an appearance that forms an almost teardrop-shaped edge together with the inclined surfaces 351 and 352 of the expanding portion 35. Presents. In addition, the dimension along the axial direction of the notch 311 of the side wall 31 closest to the handle 34 is made smaller than those of the other notches 311 and 321. The arm portion 14 of the binding rod member 1 that fits in the notch 311 when the binding rod is opened is also set so that the dimension along the axial direction is equal to or less than the same dimension.
 第一実施形態では、操作部材3の周壁31、32、33によって包囲された内部空間が、軸心方向に沿った両端部にて閉塞されていた。これに対し、図38に示すように、本実施形態では、操作部材3の他端側の端部に壁を設けておらず、操作部材3の他端側にて内部空間が開放している。このことは、操作部材3の成形にとって有利となる。即ち、操作部材3を成形する型を抜く方向について制約が少なくなり(操作部材3の他端部位において、操作部材3の延伸方向つまりは軸心方向に沿って型を抜くことが許容される)、設計の自由度が増すとともに製造コストの低減に奏効し得る。 In the first embodiment, the internal space surrounded by the peripheral walls 31, 32, 33 of the operation member 3 is closed at both ends along the axial direction. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 38, in the present embodiment, no wall is provided at the other end side of the operation member 3, and the internal space is open on the other end side of the operation member 3. . This is advantageous for forming the operation member 3. That is, there are less restrictions on the direction in which the mold for molding the operating member 3 is pulled out (at the other end portion of the operating member 3, it is allowed to pull out the mold along the extending direction of the operating member 3, that is, the axial direction). Thus, the degree of freedom in design increases and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
 さらに、図38ないし図41に示しているように、操作部材3の軸心方向に沿った他端側において、側壁31、32から内側方に突出する係合部313、323を形成している。他方、綴じ桿部材2の、軸心方向に沿った最も他端側に位置する軸体23の外周面にも、外側方に突出する被係合部233を形成してある。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 38 to 41, engaging portions 313 and 323 that protrude inward from the side walls 31 and 32 are formed on the other end side along the axial direction of the operation member 3. . On the other hand, an engaged portion 233 protruding outward is also formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body 23 located on the most other end side along the axial direction of the binding rod member 2.
 図40の平断面図は、操作部材3がロック位置にある状態を示している。操作部材3がロック位置にあるとき、側壁31、32から突出する係合部313、323と、軸体23から突出する被係合部233とは軸心方向に沿って離間している。 40 shows a state where the operation member 3 is in the locked position. When the operating member 3 is in the locked position, the engaging portions 313 and 323 protruding from the side walls 31 and 32 and the engaged portion 233 protruding from the shaft body 23 are separated from each other in the axial direction.
 対して、図41の平断面図は、操作部材3がアンロック位置にある状態を示している。操作部材3をロック位置からアンロック位置にスライド移動させると、綴じ桿部材1、2がその軸体13、23を中心として綴じ桿を開放する方向に回動するとともに、側壁から突出する係合部313、323が軸体23から突出する被係合部233に向かって接近し、遂にはこの被係合部233を越えてこれに係合する。 On the other hand, the plan sectional view of FIG. 41 shows a state in which the operation member 3 is in the unlock position. When the operating member 3 is slid from the locked position to the unlocked position, the binding rod members 1 and 2 rotate about the shafts 13 and 23 in the direction to open the binding rod and project from the side wall. The parts 313 and 323 approach toward the engaged part 233 protruding from the shaft body 23 and finally engage with the engaged part 233 beyond this.
 既に述べた通り、操作部材3がアンロック位置にある状態では、フック26、36に両端を支持させたコイルばね4が引き伸ばされ、操作部材3をロック位置に引き戻すような引っ張り弾性力を発揮する。係合部313、323は、被係合部233に係合する際にユーザの手指にクリック感を与えつつ、被係合部233に係合することで操作部材3がユーザの意図によらずロック位置に帰還しようとすることを抑制する働きをする。 As already described, in a state where the operation member 3 is in the unlock position, the coil spring 4 having both ends supported by the hooks 26 and 36 is stretched to exert a tensile elastic force that pulls the operation member 3 back to the lock position. . The engaging portions 313 and 323 are engaged with the engaged portion 233 while giving a click feeling to the user's finger when engaging the engaged portion 233, so that the operation member 3 is not intended by the user. It works to suppress attempts to return to the locked position.
 なお、本発明は以上に詳述した実施形態に限られるものではない。列挙すると、上記実施形態では、第一の綴じ桿部材と第二の綴じ桿部材とは別体の部材であったが、両者を樹脂ヒンジを介して一体成形してもよい。 Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above. If it enumerates, in the said embodiment, although the 1st binding rod member and the 2nd binding rod member were separate members, you may integrally form both through a resin hinge.
 弾性付勢部材は、コイルばねには限定されない。その他の態様のもの、例えば板ばねや樹脂ばね、ゴムばね等を採用しても構わない。 The elastic biasing member is not limited to a coil spring. Other embodiments such as a leaf spring, a resin spring, and a rubber spring may be employed.
 操作部材の一端側と綴じ桿部材(の基体)の一端側との間に、圧縮弾性力を発生させる弾性付勢部材、即ち圧縮コイルばねの類を介在させることも考えられる。 It is also conceivable that an elastic biasing member that generates a compressive elastic force, that is, a compression coil spring, is interposed between one end side of the operation member and one end side of the binding rod member (its base).
 また、特に、操作力変換機構(操作部材の一端側の拡開部)は、必須の構成要素ではない。(操作部材をアンロック位置においた後)両綴じ桿部材を相対回動させて綴じ桿を開くために、綴じている紙葉類を介して綴じ桿要素を引っ張るようにしてもよいし、綴じている紙葉類の自重を利用してもよい。あるいは、両綴じ桿要素を互いに離反させる回動方向に弾性付勢する付勢部材(ねじりばね等)を実装してもよい。 In particular, the operating force conversion mechanism (the expanding portion on one end side of the operating member) is not an essential component. (After placing the operation member in the unlocked position) In order to open the binding rod by rotating both the binding rod members relative to each other, the binding rod element may be pulled through the bound paper sheets, or the binding may be performed. You may use the weight of the paper. Alternatively, a biasing member (such as a torsion spring) that elastically biases both binding rod elements in a rotational direction that separates them from each other may be mounted.
 その他各部の具体的構成は、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形が可能である。 Other specific configurations of each part can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.
