2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a paper binding device commonly referred to as a gachak. In this gagucker, a plurality of clips, which keep the front end inner surface portions of a pair of upper and lower opposing spring plate portions in contact with each other and maintain a closed state, are loaded into the main body of the binding device, and the spring plate portion is removed from the binding device body. While opening, the clip is pushed out one by one so that documents etc. can be held between the spring plate portions of the clip. And
The size of the clip that can be loaded into the main body of the binding device of this gachak is determined by one type, and if it is desired to use clips of different sizes, the size of the main body of the binding device also needs to be changed according to the clip. That is, in order to use clips of different sizes, the same number of binder bodies as the clips were required.

By the way, when binding paper, the amount or thickness of the paper varies, and when the amount of paper is large or the thickness of paper is large, it may not be possible to bind with a normal size clip. . That is, in many cases, the amount and thickness of paper do not match the clip size.

[0004]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the size of the clip for binding the paper can be changed according to the amount and thickness of the paper, but the binding device main body for loading the clips needs to be changed. It is an object to provide a paper binding device that does not include a paper binding device and a clip that is used in the paper binding device.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a paper binding device of the present invention comprises a plurality of upper and lower spring plate parts which are opposed to each other and keep the front end inner surface parts in contact with each other to maintain a closed state. Paper that can be used to load documents into the interior of the binding device main body, push out the clips one by one while opening the spring plate from the binding device main body, and secure the documents etc. between the spring plate portions of the clip. In the binding, a plurality of types in which the lateral width of the ear piece portion projecting outward on both front end sides of the spring plate portion and the vertical height of the ear piece portion are the same, and the dimensions at other required portions are different from each other A clip loading chamber capable of accommodating any of the clips is provided inside the binding device main body, and the inner wall portions on both sides of the clip loading chamber are fitted with the ear piece portions of any of the plurality of types of clips described above. Front edge of binding body Characterized in that the rail groove for guiding the ears provided to clip opening spring installed at both sides of the lip discharge port, is obtained by the configuration of.

Further, in the paper binding device clip of the present invention, the lateral width of the ear piece portion projecting outward on both front end sides of the spring plate portion and the vertical height of the ear piece portion are the same, It is configured by a group of a plurality of types having different dimensions in other required parts.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the clip 1 used in the paper binding device of the present invention has a pair of upper and lower spring plate portions 3 and 4 extending forward from the upper and lower ends of the back plate 2, respectively. 3 and 4 maintain the closed state by contacting the inner surface portions near the front ends, but the front end edges before that are in the open state, and the front ends of the spring plate portions 3 and 4 are The left and right sides are each provided with ear piece portions 5 and 6 protruding outward.

Further, the paper binding device of the present invention can use a group of clips having a plurality of different sizes. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, three types of clips, large, medium, and small, can be used. Of course, it is also possible to make the number more than that. However, even if the sizes are different, not all the dimensions are different, and the lateral width A of the ear piece at the front end and the height B of the ear piece are the same. Then, of the dimensions of other required parts, the height of the back plate is always set to a different size. Further, the lengths in the front-rear direction can be different sizes. For example, as shown in the drawing, the heights e, m, n of the back plates and the lengths a, b, d in the front-rear direction of the three types of clips, which are large, medium, and small, can be different from each other. The lengths in the front-rear direction may be the same. Further, the lateral width C of the back plate can be the same as shown in the drawing, but can be different. Also, the length D of the ear piece in the front-back direction is
The sizes can be the same as shown, but can be different. In addition, when a plurality of types of clips are formed, one of them is selected as, for example, large, medium, small 3
When forming a type of clip, the medium size clip can be sized to the standard size clip that is commercially available. Note that these clips can be made of metal.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the binding device body 7
Has a clip loading chamber 8 which is long in the front-rear direction and which can accommodate a plurality of clips 1 in a column, and a clip replenishing port 9 is provided at the rear end thereof. Further, the binding device body 7 is provided with a clip discharge port 10 at the front end, and clip opening springs 11 are installed on both sides of the clip discharge port 10. Further, the binding device main body 7 is provided internally with a push piece 12 that is movable in the front-rear direction, and the touch finger operation button portion 13 of the push piece 12 is extended to the outside from a hole portion 14 provided in the upper surface portion. . A coil spring 15 is attached to the rear end of the push piece 12 so that when the push piece 12 moves forward, the coil spring 1
5 is extended and the pushing piece 12 can be automatically retracted by the restoring force. Further, the push piece 12 is pulled backward by the coil spring 15, so that the push blade portion 1 at the front end of the push piece 12 is pushed when the touch operation button portion 13 is not touched with a finger.
The clip 6 is in a floating state so that the clip 1 can pass thereunder. When a finger touches the touch operation button portion 13, the finger pressure pushes the push blade portion 16 downward, and the push blade portion 16 sinks so that the back plate 2 of the clip 1 can be contacted.

The clip loading chamber 8 in the binding device body 7 is
Rail grooves 17 in the front-rear direction are formed on the inner walls on both sides.
Is provided. This rail groove 17 is a clip opening spring 1
1 to the rear edge portion 18. Further, on the inner walls on both sides of the clip replenishment port 9 provided at the rear end of the binding device body 6, the ear piece guide groove portion 19 that guides the ear piece portions 5 and 6 of the clip 1 of any size to the rail groove 17. Is provided.

The clip 1 fed into the clip loading chamber 8 from the clip replenishing port 9 as described above always fits the ear pieces 5 and 6 into the rail groove 17 regardless of its size. . Then, when a finger is touched on the head of the touch operation button portion 13 of the push piece 12, the push blade portion 16 sinks as described above, and the push blade is attached to the back plate 2 of the first clip 1 that is vertically arranged in the clip loading chamber 8. Since the parts 16 come into contact with each other, when the tactile operation button part 13 is pushed forward by a finger, the leading clip 1 is pushed by the push blade part 16 while the ear pieces 5, 6 are guided by the rail grooves 17. Advance. In addition,
The back plate 2 of the clip 1 may be a flat plate, but FIG.
The back plate 2 may have a concave curved surface as shown in FIG. If the back plate 2 has a concave curved surface in this manner, when the push blade portion 16 pushes the clip 1, the concave curved surface slides and moves to the central portion of the back plate 2 (which is the most concave). Therefore, even if the small-sized or large-sized clip 1 is slightly tilted in the standby state, there is an advantage that when it is pushed by the push blade portion 16, it takes a horizontal posture. Then, when the clip 1 advances a little, the rear end edge portion 18 of the clip opening spring 11 hits between the upper and lower ear piece portions 5 and 6, and when the clip 1 is advanced as it is, the upper and lower ear piece portions 5 and 6 are separated. The clip opening spring 11 is pressed into the opening 1, and the upper and lower spring plate portions 3 and 4 of the clip 1 are opened.
In this state, the binding device body 7 is exposed so as to face the clip discharge port 10.
The stack of paper placed in front of the
It will be inserted between 4 and clip 1 as it is
When is pushed out, the clip 1 passes through the clip opening spring 11 and closes the spring plate portions 3 and 4 again, so that the bundle of paper is stopped by the spring plate portions 3 and 4 of the clip 1.
