- the binding tool 1 includes a plurality of sheets P1 stacked between a pair of teeth 6 and 7 that contact and separate in a fixed direction.
- a booklet P can be formed by binding the plurality of sheets P1 to each other by binding the sheets P1 with the sheet P1 sandwiched therebetween.
- the binding tool 1 has a pair of teeth 6 and 7 that make contact and separation in a certain direction, and inclined surface portions 62 and 72 that form predetermined inclination angles A1 and A2 with respect to the contact and separation direction, respectively.
- a part of the sheet P1 that is provided and is laminated with a plurality of sheets between the teeth 6 and 7 at the inclined surface portions 62 and 72 of the paired teeth 6 and 7 is pressed while the sheet material is stretched. Thus, it is possible to bind these sheets P1.
- the booklet P is formed by bundling a plurality of sheets P1, and these sheets P1 are joined to each other at one press portion P2 set on the edge P11. Yes.
- One sheet P1 used in this embodiment has 64 grams / m @ 2 and a thickness dimension of 0.1.
- the copy paper P1 is 08 to 0.09 mm, other paper P1 may be used as long as the following effects can be obtained. For example, drawing paper, slip, receipt paper, inkjet printer paper, glossy paper, recycled paper, etc. Various paper materials such as paper copy paper can be used.
- the sheets P1 to be bound are preferably of the same quality, but different sheets P1 can be bound together. In the binding tool 1 in this embodiment, it is possible to bind about 2 to 5 copy sheets P1 described above.
- the press portion P2 has a rectangular shape in plan view, so that the width dimension L7 is less than 0.6 to 4.0 mm and the length dimension L8 is less than 8 to 20 mm. It is good to set to. In particular, when used as an office binding tool 1, it is preferable to set the width dimension L7 to be about 1.4 mm and the length dimension L8 to be about 10 mm.
- the sheet P can be held at P2. That is, when the width dimension L7 and the length dimension L8 are within this range, the relationship between the exclusive area of the press part P2, the force necessary for the operation, and the holding force necessary for binding the paper P1. The balance is particularly good. The reason why the length L8 is preferably 8 to less than 20 mm will be described later.
- the press part P2 has a cross-sectional waveform shape, and in this embodiment, it is set to 10 peaks.
- the number of ridges of the press part P2 is not limited to 10 ridges and can be variously changed. However, if the number of peaks in the press portion P2 increases within a limited range, there is a problem that the inclination angles A1 and A2 of the peaks are too small and the paper P1 is easily torn. On the other hand, when the number of ridges is reduced within a limited range, the press portion P2 has an excessively large inclination angle A1 and A2, and the force is distributed over the area to be compressed, which is applied per unit area. The problem that a load will become small arises. That is, there is a problem in that it cannot be bound properly.
- the press part P2 is compression-molded by a mountain-shaped deformed part P21 formed by the mountain side curved surface part 61 of one tooth 6 and the valley side curved surface part 73 of the other tooth 7 and the inclined surface parts 62 and 72 of both teeth 6 and 7.
- the inclined compression portion P22 formed and a plurality of valley-shaped deformed portions P23 formed by the valley-side curved surface portion 63 of one tooth 6 and the mountain-side curved surface portion 71 of the other tooth 7 form a waveform in cross-sectional view.
- the press portion P2 is formed into a shape having such a cross-sectional waveform by extending each sheet material forming a plane by the strong pressure of the teeth 6 and 7.
- a line is attached to an intermediate point between the apex of the mountain-shaped deformation portion P21 and the valley bottom of the valley-shaped deformation portion P23.
- the “paper material” is a concept indicating all the materials constituting the paper P1, and includes paper, plastic fibers, and the like.
- the elongation rate of the paper material is preferably more than 1.32 and not more than 1.60. More preferably, the expansion rate of the paper material is 1.36 or more and 1.47 or less, and in this embodiment, the expansion rate of the paper material is set to 1.44.
- the sheets P1 are bound with a certain holding force by stretching and compressing the fibers of the sheet material based on the following principle. That is, it is considered that the adjacent sheets P1 are held so as not to be separated from each other by an anchor effect and a hydrogen bonding effect described later.
- the anchor effect means that the fibers of the paper material are stretched and exposed, and the fibers of the adjacent paper material are entangled in the compression direction, particularly in the portion sandwiched between the inclined surface portions 62 and 72, so On the other hand, it means a phenomenon accompanied by a great resistance to shear peeling in the direction inclined.
- the hydrogen bonding effect is due to the bonding between OH groups (hydroxyl groups) that are close to each other by the compressive force between the adjacent papers P1, more specifically, without the moisture due to the strong compressive force, the paper material of one paper P1. Based on a phenomenon in which OH groups contained in cellulose molecules constituting fibers are directly bonded to OH groups of cellulose molecules constituting fibers of paper material of other paper P1 located in the vicinity of the OH groups. The hydrogen bonding effect becomes more prominent as the force for compressing the sheets P1 increases.
- the elongation rate is 1.32 or less, a sufficient anchor effect cannot be obtained, and the hydrogen bonding effect is also reduced. Therefore, there arises a problem that the holding force of the paper P1 is not practical.
- the expansion ratio is larger than 1.60, there arises a problem that the paper P1 is torn or the energy required for the operation becomes excessive. That is, if the elongation rate is increased within a range where the paper P1 is not torn, more fibers can be exposed and the above-described anchor effect and hydrogen bonding effect can be easily developed. In other words, if the elongation ratio is 1.32 or less, a large anchor effect or hydrogen bonding effect cannot be expected within a practical operating force range.

Abstract
Description

次に、歯ホルダー8、9について説明する。
の歯の形状が上述した実施例1と同じであり、山の数を変更することにより長さ寸法L8をそれぞれ5mm、8mm、10mm、15mm、20mmに設定したものである。
形成しているものであるので、歯面6c、7cを比較的簡単に形成することができる。また、これらの歯6、7によって形成されたプレス部P2は方向性を持つため、プレス部P2の長手方向に直交する方向の用紙P1のめくりに対しては比較的強い力で抵抗することができる。
部材53が前記仮想基準面11よりも第1の受ベース2側に位置するとともに、前記サブシャフト10が前記仮想基準面11よりも第2の受ベース3側に位置するように設定されているので、綴じ具1全体をコンパクトにすることができる。
成されたものであってもよい。切削加工の具体例としては、手作業または機械加工が考えられる。
を綴じることが可能な綴じ具1に用いられる歯6、7であって、用紙挿入方向の前後両縁に面取り部64、65、74、75を備え、用紙挿入側の面取り部65、75の傾斜を反対側の面取り部64、74の傾斜よりも緩やかに設定していることを特徴とする。ここで、「傾斜」とは、綴じるべき用紙が配される仮想基準面に対する角度をいう。この歯の構造は、本実施形態の他の構成要素との組合せに限定されるものではなく、別途独立した発明を構成し得るものである。
較的複雑な形状であるにもかかわらず前記精度を一定に保つことができる。
を発揮する長手方向の端部との境界部分P24を支点として用紙P1が移動されるので、保持力を生かすことができる。すなわち、上述した実施形態で示したような用紙P1の端辺P11に平行にプレス部P2が配されたものにおいては、用紙P1をめくる方向は前記プレス部P2の長手方向の端部の境界部分P24、P25を支点とする場合と、前記プレス部P2の短手方向の端部の境界部分P26を支点とする場合との二種類が考えられる。前者の場合であれば、保持力を生かすことができるが、後者の場合であると、プレス部P2の波状に沿って用紙P1がめくられてしまうため、保持力を生かすことができないという不具合が生じる。ところが、本変形例のようなものであれば、使用者が用紙P1をめくる方向を一意に決めることができるため、期待する保持力を得ることができる。しかも、本変形例のような用紙P1の端辺P13、P14に沿って前記プレス部P2による波状が形成されると、プレス部P2の短手側から用紙P1をめくることが難しくなるため、用紙P1をしっかりと綴じておくことができる。なお、プレス部P2は、用紙P1の端辺P13、P14のうち少なくとも一方にかかって形成されるものであってもよい。詳述すれば、短手方向の一方の端部が用紙P1上に存在するようにするとともに、短手方向の他方の端部が用紙P1上に存在しないようにプレス部P2が形成されてもよい。
であり、用紙P1の端辺P11に当該用紙P1の縁部から一定の距離離間させた状態で形成されたものであり、平面視矩形状をなしている。前記スリットP4は、前記プレス部P2の長手方向端部と短手部分端部とが交差する角部P27から所定距離離れた位置に形成されている。なお、前記所定距離は0であってもよい。すなわち、前記スリットP4は前記角部P27に接していてもよい。
するとともに、主要圧接領域及びこの領域近傍で用紙を圧接するようにしたものであってもよい。なお、突出部分が歯の幅(短手)方向に間欠的に設けられて点状に主要圧接領域を形成するものであってもよい。また、突出部分は、歯と別体に形成されたものであってもよい。
