Description
- This invention relates to a filing equipment for holding documents by means of catching.
- As Filing equipment for holding documents or clear pockets keeping documents in (hereinafter referred to binders), binders having a catching means of levers, springs or rings are known. A binder catching documents with rings, for example, is constituted to catch documents by passing metal rings through filing-holes made on documents.
- On the other hands, as other filing equipment, catching metallic parts having two levers and used for catching documents of from about few pages to about several tens of pages (hereinafter referred to clips) are known. In the use of said clips, once documents have been held by the clip, then said levers made to be capable of turning on toward or backward the surface of the caught documents are turned toward the surface of the documents and stretched over the surface of the documents for ensuring the levers not obstruct handling the caught documents. In addition to this type of clips, another type of clip is practiced, which also has two levers made to be capable of turning on toward either of right or left side parallel to the engaging parts of the clip.
- The binders as mentioned above are , for example, suitable in keeping the documents categorized into certain groups, while the clips have a advantage of its easiness in catching on and off the documents and are thus suitable in making up references for meetings by collecting the documents needed from several binders or in temporally filing the document before sorting.
- However, the documents as caught by the clips are easily corrupted or scattered and lost and the binders require much time for put on or in the documents.
- Therefore, none of the above-mentioned prior arts could provide a filing equipment having the function of the clip temporally holding and filing the documents in combination with the function of the binder keeping the sorted documents.
- An object of the present invention is to improve such problems and to provide a filing equipment (binder) which can temporally catch the documents and can keep the documents in a certain order, and from which the documents can be easily detached.
- For solving the problems, the filing equipment according to the present invention is characterized by comprising two mount-portions capable of opening and shutting and being at opposite sides across the connecting portion, a lingulate piece partially fixed on inner surface of one of said mount-portions and a clip for putting papers and said lingulate piece together, and used by catching an end portion of paper and a free-side portion of said lingulate piece with the clip.
- More specifically, the filing equipment according to the present invention comprises two mount-portions capable of opening and shutting and being at opposite sides across the connecting portion, a lingulate piece partially fixed on inner surface of one of said mount-portions, a pocket-shape holder having a size corresponding to that of the mount-portions and a clip for putting the pocket-shape holder and said lingulate piece together, and has holes on the free-side portion of said lingulate piece and the caught-side of said pocket shape holder formed at the site corresponding to the engaging site of said clip, and is used by catching the pocket-shape holder and free-side of the lingulate piece with the clip through said holes.

-
- The present invention will be described in detail along with one embodiment of the invention by referring to attached drawings in below.
- Figure 1 is a perspective-view illustrating the binder according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the
binder 1 according to the present invention comprises two mount-portions being capable of opening and shutting at opposite sides across the connecting portion, and alingulate piece 2 consisting of a free-end portion 25 and a fixedportion 23 is provided on an inner surface of one of the mount-portions, and the free-end portion 25 of thelingulate piece 2 and the clear pocket-shape holder 4 is caught together by aclip 3. On another mount-portion, i.e., at the inner surface of the mount-portion on which thelingulate piece 2 is not provided, aclear pocket 24 is fixed for enabling to keep documents at this site. Thebinder 1 itself is made with inorganic antibacterial materials. - On the back cover 1A of the
binder 1, as shown in Fig. 2, aclear pocket 11 capable of keeping papers is provided and a back title of the binder may be displayed by put the paper indicating the title into thisclear pocket 11. As shown in Fig. 3, thelingulate piece 2 is adhered to the inner surface of one of mount-portions 1B of thebinder 1 at the fixedportion 23. Thislingulate piece 2 is formed in much smaller size than that of the mount-portion 1B and at free-end portion 25 has a four-sided cut 21 and ahole 22. A size of the four-sided cut may be varied depending to the shape of theclip 3 used. Thus, the shape and size of thecut 21 and thehole 22 of thelingulate piece 2 is formed so that the connecting portion 3C of theclip 3 put on thecut 21 and the engaging part of theclip 3 insert thehole 22. Figure 4 shows thebinder 1 of Fig. 3 from view direction of B indicated in Fig. 3. - The clear pocket-
shape holder 4 has, as shown in Fig. 5, a four-sided hole 41 whose shape and size can be determined dependent on those of theclip 3 at center of one end, and tworounded holes 42 and 43' to enable theholder 4 to be used with other binders at both sides of thehole 41. Theholder 4 of the present invention has apocket 42 to keep the documents in apocket 42 on the holder, and thus thisholder 4 may be useful for temporally filing and easy to detach the documents from theholder 4. Moreover, a convex portion 4A which enables easy paging and is available as an index label may be provided at opposite side of the held portion with theclip 3. - The
clip 3 consists of, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, twolevers 31 and 31' made to be capable of turning on toward either of right or left side parallel to the engaging parts of the clip, and a elastic metal piece formed by uniting two plate-portions 3A and 3B folded back at its free-end and covering the supporting 32 and 33 of thelevers 31 and 31' with a connecting portion 3C which links the plate-portions 3A and 3B together. Theclip 3 is used to catch the pocket-shape holder 4 withlevers 31 and 31' in their standing state (shown by dotted lines) and the levers are laid down once after catching theholder 4 and/or the documents for ensuring the levers not obstruct closing thebinder 1. The folded portions of the plate-portions 3A and 3B may be molded to have uneven-shape for placing thelevers 31 and 31' at desired positions such as a completely standing or laying position. - The
clip 3 having such constitution will make thebinder 1 be easy to page and to sort out the pocket-shape holder 4 and the documents. The width of the connecting portion 3C of theclip 3 can be, for example, the width enough to catch and hold about 80 pieces of copy-papers. - In the above-mentioned embodiment, the clear pocket-shape holder for keeping documents is employed. However, instead of employing the pocket-shape holder, documents or copy-papers their-self can be directly caught into the binder of the present invention with forming said four-sided holes onto the documents or copy-papers.
- Similar to that, instead of the clip having the levers made to be capable of turning on toward either of right or left side parallel to the engaging parts of the clip, a clip having the levers made to be able to turn into its stretching form after catching the documents and the like.
- Alternatively, the
binder 1 according to the present invention may have twolingulate pieces 2 and 2' each provided on another inner surfaces of two mount-portions, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10. Such constitution may enable that thelingulate piece 2 catch documents having sizes of no more than that of the one mount-portion (the size of the binder folded in double) and the lingulate piece 2' having a cut 21', a hole 22', a fixed portion 23' and free-end portion 25' catch the documents of size of the binder. Of course, only either size of those can be caught. - Figure 8 is a drawing illustrating the back cover of the binder, Figure 9 is a drawing illustrating the inner side of the binder, and Figure 10 shows the binder of Fig. 9 from view direction of B indicated in Fig. 9.
- As stated above, according to the present invention, a lingulate piece for caught with a clip is made and fixed on a binder, therefore documents or pocket-shape holders can be temporally caught with the clip in the binder. Thus, the documents or pocket-shape holders can be temporally caught and filed with the clip and kept in the binder to which the clip is fixed. Moreover, since clips are used as a catching metallic parts in the binder according to the invention, the documents or the pocket-shape holders can be easily brought out.
