Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is a self-supporting structure for storing paper, documents, drawings, etc. that have weak self-supporting strength, and has a high self-supporting strength when placed side by side on a bookshelf. 6 [Prior art and its problems] Generally, paper, documents, drawings, etc. (hereinafter referred to as documents, etc.)
The binding file is equipped with a file cover formed in a cross-sectional opening shape that covers the contents to be bound, and a binding device (binder) installed near the base of the opening of the file cover. The corner portions of the letter shape are structured to be openable and closable, and the bent portions are formed by, for example, forming folds in the corner portions by embossing.

Figures 11 to 13 show examples of conventional binding files, in which (1) is a cover, which includes a front cover (Ia), a back cover (ratio), a spine cover (lc), and a binding part (1d). ) is (la),
(lc), (ld).

(1b) are formed in a series and in a mouth shape, and the binding part (1d) protrudes inward between the spine (1c) and the back cover (1b) and is folded double. has been done. (le)
:(la-work), (1e2), (ig,) are folds that can be bent freely. The binding section (1d) has a binding hole (1f).
A holding hole (1g) is provided, a binding band (2) is attached, and a binding presser (3) is engaged to place documents between the binding part (1d) and presser (3). etc., and file them together.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In general, sheets of paper, documents, and documents with thin cover materials are made strong at the spine due to binding reasons such as stitching and gluing, but the tip on the opposite side is flexible and each sheet is It shifts or comes apart and has low rigidity. Therefore, when these are stored in files and placed on a bookshelf, their self-supporting strength is weak, and unless they are firmly clamped from both sides, the tips tend to collapse, especially when placed side by side and partially inserted or removed. The tendency becomes stronger. The file itself has a cursive shape on the spine, so it is strong enough to stand on its own, but if the open end is made of a thin cover material, it will bend easily if the weight of the document is applied to it, and it can become a habit. Encourages falling down. When a document with low self-supporting strength as mentioned above is inserted into such a file, the self-supporting strength of the leading edge is weak, but the strength of the self-supporting strength of the leading edge is still weak, and there is no change in the tendency of the leading edge to bend, crumble, or topple over. do not have.

In addition, in the conventional filing method, the letters on the spine of the document are hidden by the spine (1c) of the file, so a title indicating the contents of the file must be written on the spine (1c), which is troublesome. For example, when transcribing items such as patent publications that have multiple numbers displayed, the transcription process is time-consuming and tedious due to the large volume.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves these conventional drawbacks, and provides a file storage section on the open end side of the cover, with the folded section on the proximal end. To obtain a binding file that is attached with an L-shaped or abbreviated cover to increase its self-standing strength and is unlikely to collapse or fall when placed side by side on a bookshelf or the like. In addition, the binding file is used to increase the self-supporting strength of the binding section side and the opposite end, that is, the spine side, and furthermore, the entire cover or a part of it is made transparent so that the letters on the spine of the binding contents can be seen. This provides a file method that can be easily read.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, even when a document with weak self-supporting strength is stowed into a file using a thin cover material, the open end can be made rigid due to the stapling of the stapling section and the attached cover. As a result, the spine part has a self-supporting strength due to the file folding part, and the self-supporting strength of the file as a whole increases due to mutual complementation, and there is no risk of the file collapsing or toppling over when placed side by side on a bookshelf. In addition, the spine part of the document is on the open side of the file, and the cover that covers the spine part is transparent, so it can be easily read without opening the file. , the characters on the back can be read as they are.

) It is possible to make modifications such as adding a fold (lc4) between the lines to form a 7-shape or adding a plurality of folds, and these are collectively referred to as a substantially U-shape. The binding section (1d) is provided with, for example, two binding holes (1f) and a holding hole (1g) near each binding hole (1f), and the binding is carried out through this holding hole (1g). Binding band (2) extending through the hole (1f)
are installed respectively. (3) is a binding presser that cooperates with the band (2), and the presser main body (3a) and main body (3a)
The presser main body (3a) has a through hole (3c) provided in accordance with the position of the band (2) and through which the band (2) passes. ing. band(

A band (2) is held between the paper and the paper to hold and file documents.

(4) is the contents of the file, such as sheets of paper or thin documents, and (5) is the cover attached to cover the open end of the file, which is generally made of transparent material and has an L shape. It is formed in a shape or an abbreviated shape, and has a base side (5a) for attachment and a cover side (5b) that covers the open end, and the base side (5a) is supported on the open end of the cover. . Cover (5)
The simplest and most common way to support this is to provide a mounting hole (5e) on one of the L-shaped sides, the base (5a), so that it can be supported together with the contents. , the hole (5e) is cut out in a groove shape toward the base end (5c),
It can be inserted and removed freely, and if the thickness of the file changes, it can be easily replaced with a cover of an appropriate size. In this case, the cover can be easily inserted and removed if the cover is operated intentionally, but in order to prevent unintentional removal, a falling-off prevention means may be provided as described later.

When items filed in this way are placed side by side on a bookshelf, the binding section side is given rigidity by sewing or gluing the contents (4) themselves, or by binding them together, and by reinforcing them by attaching a cover. Self-supporting strength and rigidity are imparted to the sides by the formation of the U-shaped bent portions, and self-supporting properties are ensured at both the bent portions and the open end of the file, that is, the binding portion side. Therefore, either the binding section side or the spine side can be used as the front side of the bookshelf, that is, the display surface, and independence is maintained in either case.

If the binding section side is facing you, the letters on the spine of the binding contents (4) will be displayed through the transparent cover (5), and if the spine side is facing you, the characters written on the spine will be displayed. . In this case, only some necessary parts, such as the back lettering, may be made transparent, or the entire cover may be colored transparent or opaque. Further, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2(a), an extension part (lh) is provided at the tip of the first cover (1a) to protrude, and can be used as a display part for a title or the like. If you write a title on the spine and place it on a bookshelf with that side facing you, the spine of the book will not be visible when it is left on the bookshelf, but once you take it out of the bookshelf, you will not have to open each file. Even in this case, the characters on the back can be easily seen, and the effort required for searching can be saved compared to the conventional method.

FIG. 2(b) shows a case where an extension (lh') is provided at the tip of the back cover.

Figure 7 shows the state in which the contents (4) have been filed.
FIG. 7(a) shows that the file is in the best condition when the thickness of the contents is appropriate. Figures 7(b) and (C) show cases where the thickness of the stowed contents is smaller than the folded part of the file;
In b), the spine of the file is made oblique, and in Fig. 7(c), a crease is provided in the center of the spine to form a 7-shape, which corresponds to the thickness of the contents and reduces the thickness of the file. adjust. FIG. 7(d) shows a case where the thickness of the contents is too large, and the file is folded from the preliminary fold (le).

When adjusting the thickness of the file shape according to the thickness of the contents to be bound, the dimensions of the cover (5) that covers the open end can also be changed as appropriate. For example, covers (5) corresponding to several thicknesses are prepared in advance and replaced as necessary. In both cases (Fig. 7 (b) and (d)), the front cover will retract slightly, but if it is set so that it can sufficiently cover the binding presser part, the adjacent files will overlap when loading and unloading in parallel. There is no risk of it getting caught in the presser. If the front cover is retracted and it is inconvenient to take it in and out, the problem can be easily solved by setting the front end of the cover long in advance. The binding band (2) and binding presser (3) may be replaced with commonly used binding strings, binder metal fittings, etc., and the degree of binding of the binding part will change depending on the method, but it will be more independent than before. There is no change in the fact that sexuality improves.

FIGS. 8(a), (b), (c), and (d) are explanatory diagrams showing various embodiments of the present invention, and FIG. 8(a) is a view taken from the base side (5a) of the L-shaped cover. A top side (5b) is provided to cover the open end of the rising file, and a short bent side (5d) is provided at the tip (5c) to improve the strength of the cover and ensure that the other side's front cover is firmly attached to the cover. This makes it possible to adjust the file shape even when there is little content in the file. In FIG. 8(b), the top edge (5b) is slightly deformed to form a curved surface, taking into consideration the appearance. In FIG. 8(c), a binding part (1d) and an L-shaped cover are provided at the open ends of the front cover and the back cover. Figure 8(d) shows attachment means (6) such as eyelets on the front cover.
shows the case with cover (5) installed.

In this case, an end plate (5g) is provided at the lower end or both upper and lower ends, which is convenient because it can abut against the upper or lower end of the bound contents stored on the back cover side to increase the self-supporting strength. Figure 8 (a), (b), (c), (
d) In either case, a short bent side (
5d) is optionally provided to ensure more secure contact with the other cover or between the covers.
Whether or not to provide d) can be selected depending on the form of the bound contents (4).

9(a), (b), (c), and (d) are perspective views showing various embodiments of the cover attachment means of the present invention, and FIG. 9(a) is a perspective view showing various embodiments of the cover attachment means of the present invention. Band (2
) with a hole (5e) for inserting the hole (5e), Fig. 9 (
In b), a notch (5f) is provided in this hole (5e) in the shape of a groove toward the base end (5c), so that when attaching and detaching the booklet, the booklet is simply loosened and a slight gap is created without removing the booklet contents. Fig. 9(c) shows one in which the notch (5f) is oriented diagonally so that the weight of the cover (5) always exerts a stabilizing force in the insertion direction. (d) is large enough to allow the band (2) to pass through with the notch (5f) in between, and the hole has a lock-shaped step (5g) from the notch (5f). This shows something that is made to prevent it from falling off easily. In addition, although insertion is easy, accidental detachment is prevented by providing a drop-off prevention means that provides resistance to prevent spontaneous or easy detachment. In addition, the entrance part of the notch expands outward (5h
) to make it easier to insert. In the above, if the binding device does not use holes or the like and uses a clipping method, the cover (
5) requires no holes or notches.

Figure 10 is a perspective view of an embodiment in which a cover (5) is attached to the open end of the front cover (1a).
The base (5a) is attached to a) by plating the base (5a) at multiple locations with eyelets (6). In this case, end plates (5g) are provided at both the upper and lower ends.

In the above, the attachment of the cover to the front cover is not limited to the above-mentioned method, but any suitable method that meets the spirit of the present invention may be selected.

In addition, it may be fitted between the end (5c) of the top side (5b) of the cover (5) and the opposing file cover, or between the opposing ends of the covers attached to both opposing covers. It is also optional to provide a connector such as a snap button or a fastener to connect the files to further increase the rigidity and independence of the entire file.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, one cover is sequentially folded so as to be able to hold bound contents such as thick books, and at least one of the open ends of the cover facing the folded part has a binding part. , and the binding section is equipped with a binding tool, so even when documents with weak self-supporting strength are stapled into a file using a thin cover material, the open end can be attached to the binding section and the cover. This provides rigidity and self-supporting strength, and the file bending section provides self-supporting strength at the tip, so the file as a whole has a high self-supporting strength, and there is no risk of it collapsing or falling over when placed side by side on a bookshelf. In addition, since the spine of the document is on the open side of the file, it can be easily read without opening the file, and if it is placed side by side on a bookshelf with the open end facing outward, the spine can be read while it is stored. Can be done. Therefore, it is not necessary to make the file cover material thick and strong in order to maintain its independence, and it is possible to obtain a file that is easy to handle at low cost due to features such as the ability to easily read the letters on the back of the bound contents. Can be done.
