Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holding device for several sheets forming a bundle.
  • conventional fasteners are mainly made using a metallic material.
  • the presence of metal fasteners can constitute a source of disruption for the operation of electronic machines used in the postal services, in particular for sorting mail.
  • British patent application No. 2,227,047 discloses a metal or plastic fastener for sheets in the form of a clip.
  • the two parts of the clip are connected to each other by a hinge.
  • the positioning of the clip on the sheet bundle requires folding in the plane of the bundle to allow engagement of one side of one part of the clip in a blocking rim of the other part.
  • the elastic deformation of the clip during its installation risks creating a sliding movement between the sheets of the bundle and consequently preventing having a regular bundle.
  • the present invention relates to a holding device or a fastener for several sheets forming a bundle and which causes little or no deterioration in the quality and presentation of the linked sheets.
  • the invention also aims to provide a fastener which can be made of rigid plastic material in order to replace conventional metallic fasteners for couriers for example.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fastener which provides a surface serving as a support for drawings or inscriptions in order to personalize the bound documents or in particular to broadcast advertising messages.
  • the hinge part is integral with the upper and lower elements and constitutes a folding zone between the upper element and the lower element.
  • the upper and lower elements may comprise other elastic interlocking members, so as to be able to apply to the sheets of the bundle a pressure distributed in a balanced manner on the internal faces of the upper elements. and lower respectively.
  • At least one internal face of said upper and lower elements is advantageously made non-slip. It is possible, for example, to provide a surface made rough or made slightly adhesive, or else an additional layer of easily deformable material, such as a synthetic foam or a spongy material.
  • the additional deformable layer on the internal face of at least one of the upper and lower elements offers the possibility of improving the retention of bundles of different thicknesses.
  • the additional deformable layer may be small compared to the internal face of the corresponding element. It suffices in fact to have one or more points of deformable material which are made integral with the internal face of the corresponding element and which project relative to said internal face.
  • the internal faces of the upper and lower elements may have reliefs of complementary shape, for example undulations, bumps and hollows, so as to be able to immobilize the sheets by pinching the upper and lower elements of the device. .
  • the device of the invention is preferably real read in one piece from a rigid synthetic material. Any other rigid and elastic material, for example metallic materials, can be used for the device of the invention.
  • the upper and lower elements of the device of the invention have a sufficiently fine thickness so as not to substantially increase the overall thickness of the connected bundle while retaining the required mechanical properties.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 offer a bundle of sheets, the last sheet of which is at the top of the bundle. In other words, the assembly formed by the bundle and the device is turned 180 ° relative to the normal position.
  • the holding device for several sheets forming a bundle 1 comprises a flat upper element 2, a flat lower element 3, a folding zone 4 forming a hinge between the elements upper 2 and lower 3.
  • the upper 2 and lower 3 elements of the device each have a substantially triangular shape, the sizes of which are comparable with each other.
  • the hinge 4 is located in the vicinity of a top of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements.
  • the bundle of sheets 1 has a corner constituted by a first side 5 and a second side 6 making a right angle to each other. other.
  • the triangular shape of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements has two sides 2a, 3a and 2b, 3b substantially parallel respectively to the sides 5 and 6 of the bundle 1 forming the corner.
  • Hinge 4 is located near the top of the corner.
  • the lower element 3 can be opened or closed according to arrow 7 relative to the upper element 2 using the hinge 4.
  • the upper element 2 has two elastic interlocking members 8, 9 along the sides 2b and 2a respectively and in the vicinity of the vertices of the triangle other than that close to the hinge 4.
  • the members 8, 9 project perpendicularly to the internal face of the upper element 2.
  • the members 8, 9 have a cylindrical convex surface towards the inside of the upper element 2.
  • the cylindrical convex surface stops at a predetermined height relative to the internal face of the upper element 2 so as to be able to accommodate the sides 5 and 6 of the bundle of sheets in their thickness.
  • the lower element 3 When pressing on the external faces of the upper element 2 and the lower element 3, using two fingers of one hand for example, the lower element 3 is brought back towards the upper element 2 by pivoting through the hinge 4.
  • the cutouts 10 and 11 of the lower element 3 meet the convex cylindrical surfaces of the members 8 and 9 of the upper element 2 and pass, using the pressure exerted and a elastic deformation, said convex cylindrical surfaces to be wedged by said convex cylindrical surfaces of the elastic interlocking members 8 and 9.
  • the lower element 3 is kept pressed against the last sheet of the bundle 1 and participates in maintaining the sheets of the bundle with the upper element 2.
  • interlocking members 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the form of pins and depressions in a manner similar to snaps.
  • the bundle 1 of sheets made captive of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements may have a thickness varying from two to ten or twenty sheets to be effectively maintained.
  • the internal face of the upper element 2 and / or the internal face of the lower element 3, intended to be in contact with the bundle 1 preferably have zones, punctual or interconnected, made non-slip vis- opposite the sheets. These non-slip zones may have a higher roughness than the rest of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements, may be coated with a slightly adhesive layer so as to be able to peel off the corresponding element 2 or 3 from the bundle 1 without leaving a trace on the corresponding sheet of the bundle.
  • non-slip zones using a spongy and flexible plastic material, such as synthetic foam, made integral with the internal face of the corresponding element 2 or 3, so that that the compressive stress to maintain the sheets of the bundle 1, exerted by the elements upper 2 and lower 3 in the assembled position, does not vary significantly for different thicknesses of the bundle 1. This therefore makes it possible to hold the sheets very effectively.
  • a spongy and flexible plastic material such as synthetic foam
  • the folding zone 4 can be made more flexible in the folding direction, for example by means of the longitudinal grooves made in the folding zone or make the thickness of said zone thinner, relative to the upper elements 2 and lower 3.
  • the upper 2 and lower 3 elements in a form different from the triangular shape without influencing the operation of the device. Another possibility is the removal of the corner where the hinge 4 is located in FIG. 1. In this way, the device then comprises the upper 2 and lower 3 elements in the form of a trapezoid. It would then be necessary to provide a folding zone 4 always on the side 2a, 3a, but in the zone where the interlocking members 9, 11 are located in FIG. 1.
  • Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the invention with the upper 2 and lower 3 elements flat and substantially rectangular and connected to each other by means of a folding zone 4 along a side 2a, 3a of the rectangles.
  • the elastic means used for assembling the upper 2 and lower 3 elements are slightly different from those used in the mode illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the upper element 2 On the first side 2b of the upper element 2 parallel to the side 6 of the bundle 1, the upper element 2 has two longitudinal edges 12 projecting towards its internal face. The opposite ends of the flanges 12 each have a depression 13.
  • the corresponding side 3b of the lower element 3 has a shape complementary to the side 2b of the upper element 2.
  • the side 3b has a longitudinal protuberance 14, the two ends 15 of which are convex and rounded, so that the folding of the lower element 3, by means of the hinge 4 and according to the arrow 16, causes a slight elastic deformation of the ends 15 of the longitudinal protuberance 14 and of the ends opposite the flanges 12.
  • the rounded convex ends 15 of the longitudinal protuberance 14 of the lower element 3 are housed in the depressions 13 of the ends opposite the flanges 12 of the upper element 2.
  • the same elastic interlocking means can be used for the sides 2a, 3a of the elements upper 2 and lower 3 in the extension of the folding zone 4 parallel to the side 5 of the bundle 1.
  • At least one of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements has on its internal face non-slip zones to hold the sheets of the bundle 1 in place.
  • the device comprises a hinge 4 extending over the entire length of the side 2a, 3a of the upper and lower elements. For the rest, this embodiment is comparable to that illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the device of the invention is in the open position with the upper 2 and lower 3 elements substantially coplanar.
  • the device is closed by pivoting along the hinge 4 as indicated by the arrow 17.
  • a primary elastic interlocking member 18 in trapezoidal form cooperates with a secondary elastic interlocking member 19 delimiting a housing for the primary member 18, the entrance to the housing being provided with inclined faces 20 to facilitate the introduction of the primary trapezoidal member 18 into the housing.
  • the device of the invention is put in place by a simple pressing on the two external faces of the upper 2 and lower 3 elements without requiring the elastic deformation of said elements, the elastic deformation is located at the level of the interlocking members.
