DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file spelling tool for binding an object such as a sheet having a pair of punched holes along one side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a spelling tool for a file of this type, a pair of binding pipes having a base fixed to a mounting plate attached to the inner surface of the file are provided in an upright state at intervals corresponding to the intervals between punch holes. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a configuration in which an object to be sewn is stapled into a stapling pipe via a punch hole in an overlapping state.

[0003] The above-mentioned structure is a so-called pipe file, in which a pin protruding from a holding metal fitting is inserted from an upper end opening of each binding pipe in a state where the binding object is bound. The spelling is held down, and the holding metal is hooked to a hook provided on the other side of the file.
When the object to be sewn is removed from the file, the presser is removed from the latch, and then the pin of the presser is pulled out from each binding pipe.

[0004]

As described above, in the construction of a pipe file, in the case of operations such as removal, replacement, and replenishment of an object to be sewn into the file, the presser fitting is once removed from the sewage pipe. Although it is necessary, when the presser is inserted into the binding pipe again, it is often possible that a pair of pins on the presser is inserted into the binding pipe on the opposite side. This is because the above operation cannot be performed unless the presser fitting is completely removed from the binding pipe.If this operation is not performed correctly, the retainer cannot be engaged with the latching pipe. There was trouble that we had to put it out. Also, since the holding bracket is a part separated from the file body,
There was also a risk of getting lost during work.

The length of the binding pipe is determined according to the amount of the object to be sewn into the file. Since a gap is formed between the object and the file, there is a problem that the object to be sewn is shifted in the storage state of the file and hangs down from the end of the file. In order to solve this problem, some auxiliary metal fittings are arranged in this gap and fixed to the binding pipe at an arbitrary position to press the material to be sewn, but this increases the cost and makes the work cumbersome. Problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve various problems in a so-called pipe file having a binding pipe as described above, and an object of the present invention is to use a part separated from the file body such as a presser fitting. Without,
There is no risk of being lost during the work, and it can be pressed without leaving a gap between the objects to be bound, regardless of the amount of binding of the objects to be bound. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spelling tool for a file which can be executed quickly without error, has a simple structure and contributes to cost reduction.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mounting plate attached to an inner surface of a file,
A pair of binding pipes having a base fixed to the mounting plate and provided in an upright state at intervals corresponding to the intervals of the punch holes, and sewn a sheet of paper or the like having a pair of punch holes along one side. Assuming a configuration in which an object is bound in a stacked state on the pair of binding pipes via a punch hole,
A rod-shaped pressing member is slidably inserted into the pair of binding pipes along the lengthwise direction of the pipe, and the pressing member is freely slid at the insertion end of the pressing member at the time of sliding of the pressing member. The pair of binding pipes is provided integrally with an enlarged shape part, and a slit is formed in a side part on the opposite side of the pair of binding pipes along a longitudinal direction of the pipe, and the pressing member is slid in the pipe at an arbitrary position. At the position, the enlarged shape portion is tilted around the center so as to be able to extend laterally through the slit, and when the holding member is tilted, the enlarged shape portion is frictionally engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the pipe, The holding member is restrained so as not to slide with respect to the pipe, and the holding member is supported in a tilted position in a cantilevered state. The configuration is characterized by It proposes a yl spelling tools.

Further, in the present invention, in addition to the above configuration, there is provided a connecting means for detachably connecting the opposing ends of the pair of pressing members extended from each of the binding pipes in an inclined state, and Thus, a file spelling tool having a configuration in which the pair of pressing members are fixed at the tilted position is also proposed.

In the spelling tool for a file according to the present invention, a rod-shaped pressing member is slidably disposed in each binding pipe, and the punch hole is formed in a normal state in which the pressing member is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the binding pipe. It is possible to freely bind the object to be bound on the binding pipe,
When the binding is completed, the holding member is pulled up from the binding pipe and the holding member is tilted so as to enter a slit formed in a side portion of the binding pipe so that the holding member is positioned on the upper surface of the sewn object. It is a configuration that can be extended and always kept in a stable state without leaving a gap between the upper surface.

In order to realize the above configuration, in the present invention, an enlarged shape portion is integrally provided at the insertion end in the binding pipe, and when the pressing member slides along the longitudinal direction of the pipe,
This enlarged shape allows free sliding, but when the presser fitting is tilted, this enlarged shape frictionally engages the inner peripheral surface of the binding pipe and fixes the presser fitting to the binding pipe. The so-called one-touch operation makes it possible to hold the object to be sewn and to take it out of the holding position. In addition, since the holding member always stays in the corresponding binding pipe, there is no risk of an insertion error into the binding pipe or loss as in the related art.

In the present invention, the pair of holding members are tilted, and their opposite ends are detachably connected to each other by connecting means, so that both holding members are fixed at the tilting position, so that the binding is performed. The sewn object can be held in a more stable state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a file spelling tool according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a file, reference numeral 2 denotes a spelling tool of the file according to the present invention, and reference numeral 3 denotes an object to be sewn such as paper having a pair of punched holes 4 on one side. The illustrated file 1 is provided with a spelling device 2 and supports a rectangular backing 1a supporting a sewn object 3 stapled in an overlapped state, and a spine 1b connected to one side thereof.
And a cover portion 1c which is connected to the spine portion 1b on one side and cooperates with the backing portion 1a in a state in which the file is closed to cover the object 3 from the side, and is commercially available. It is of normal format. In FIG. 1, the cover 1c of the file 1 is open and the cover 1
c is shown in a partially broken state.

In the spelling tool 2, reference numeral 5 denotes a mounting plate fixed to the inner surface of the backing portion 1a of the file by a stud 6, and reference numeral 7 denotes a base having the base fixed to the mounting plate 5 and spaced at intervals corresponding to the intervals of the punch holes. This is a pair of binding pipes having a circular cross section provided in an upright state on the mounting plate 5. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the mounting plate 5 is fixed to the file 1 is shown, but a configuration in which one side of the mounting plate 5 is attached to the file 1 by hinge connection may be used.

Numeral 8 denotes a rod-shaped pressing member, which is provided corresponding to each binding pipe 7. As shown in FIG. 1, in a state where the object 3 is bound into each binding pipe 7 through the punch hole 4. Extending from the respective pipes 7 in a substantially horizontal direction through the slits 9 to the upper surface of the object 3 to be sewn.
Is held so as not to come off from the binding pipe 7.

The slit 9 is formed to penetrate the side of the pair of binding pipes 7 facing each other along the longitudinal direction of the pipe and below the upper end of the pipe. However, in FIG. 1, only one slit 9 of the binding pipe 7 is shown for the sake of illustration.

If the cover part 1c of the file 1 is bound in a state where the object 3 is bound as described above, filing of the object to be bound is completed. Note that the file 1 is stored in the mount 1a.
The present invention also includes a configuration provided only with the configuration.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the binding state, each holding member 8 extends in a cantilever manner from the corresponding binding pipe 7 in a cantilever manner, and its opposite end portions 8a.
Keep close position. However, since the holding member 8 only needs to have such a length that the portion extending in the lateral direction does not allow the sewn material 3 to escape upward, the holding member 8 may have a shorter configuration than that shown.

As shown by the broken lines in FIG. 2, each holding member 8 is usually housed in the corresponding binding pipe 7 with its upper end portion including the opposite end 8a slightly exposed above the pipe. In this state, the binding of the sewn object 3 into the binding pipe 7 is performed. In this case, the upper end portion of the pressing member 8 functions as a guide for guiding the punch holes 4 of the workpiece 3 to the binding pipe 7.

As described above, when the binding is to be completed in a state where the sewn object is bound in the binding pipe 7 by an arbitrary amount, first, the pressing member 8 is slid with respect to each binding pipe 7. As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the end 8a is gripped and pulled straight up. Next, both holding members 8 may be tilted as shown by arrows. As a result, both holding members 8 extend in the horizontal direction through the slits 9 formed in the respective pies 7, and are held at the inclined positions in FIG.

On the other hand, when the object 3 is to be removed from the binding pipe 7, the holding members 8 are turned from the tilted position in FIG. 2 to a vertical state, and are indicated by broken lines along the binding pipe 7. It may be slid downward to the storage position. As a result, the object 3 can be freely removed from the binding pipe 7.

As described above, the binding and unloading operations of the object 3 can be performed by the tilting operation of the pressing members 8 or the rotating operation of the opposite operation. All operations can be performed lightly and quickly by a so-called one-touch operation without any stopping operation or the like.

In order to realize the above one-touch operation,
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the enlarged shape portion 10 is integrally provided at the insertion end of the pressing member 8 inserted into the corresponding binding pipe 7. This enlarged shape part 10
It is composed of a rugby ball-shaped elliptical sphere having a different diameter D1 on the short diameter side and a diameter D2 on the long diameter side. When the holding member 8 is located along the longitudinal direction in the binding pipe 7 as shown by a solid line in FIGS. 3 and 4, the enlarged shape portion 10 formed of a sphere has a portion having a diameter D1 corresponding to the inner circumference of the pipe 7. Since the diameter D1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe, the holding member 8 can slide freely with respect to the pipe 7 as shown by the vertical arrow.

On the other hand, the diameter D2 of the sphere 10 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the pipe 7. Therefore, when the holding member 8 is tilted about the enlarged shape portion 10 as shown by the two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. 3 and moved to the substantially horizontal tilt position shown by the two-dot chain line, the enlarged shape portion 10 FIG.
As shown by (4) and (4), the portion having the diameter D2 corresponds to the inner peripheral surface of the pipe 7 and is frictionally engaged therewith. As a result, the holding member 8 is restrained so as not to slide in the pipe 7, and is supported in a cantilevered state at an inclined position extending substantially horizontally through the slit 9. Then, when the tilted position is rotated vertically, the frictional engagement between the enlarged shape portion 10 and the inner peripheral surface of the pipe is released, and the pressing member 8 can freely slide again on the pipe 7. Become.

As described above, the enlarged shape portion 10 allows the holding member 8 to slide along the longitudinal direction of the pipe 7 and, when the holding member 8 is tilted substantially in the horizontal direction, slides the holding member 8. The function of restraining the movement and supporting the holding member 8 in this tilted position is achieved, and the above-described operation is realized with a very simple structure. With this configuration, the pressing member can be held at an arbitrary height H shown in FIG. 3, so that the pressing member can always be positioned close to the upper surface of the stapled object 3 regardless of the amount of stapling. it can. For this reason, a reliable binding state can be maintained without leaving a gap between the pressing member 8 and the workpiece 3.

It should be noted that, as shown in FIG.
The upper end portion 7a is formed into a tapered shape by press working or the like in a process after the pressing member 8 is inserted into the inside at the time of assembly, so that there is no possibility that the pressing member 8 comes out above the pipe 7.

FIG. 5 shows a modification in which the shapes of the enlarged shape portions of the binding pipe and the holding member are different from those of the above embodiment. Corresponding portions of this modification will be described below with the same reference numerals as in the above embodiment.

In this modification, the binding pipe 7 has a rectangular cross section and has an outer shape that fits in the punch hole 4. As shown in FIG. 5B, the enlarged shape portion 10 of the holding member 8 is an elliptical shape having a rectangular side diameter D1 and a long diameter side diameter D2 as shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 2), the whole is in a roller shape, and both side surfaces 10 a are in a state of being close to the corresponding side surfaces of the rectangular pipe 7.

Therefore, as shown by solid lines in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), when the holding member 8 extends along the longitudinal direction of the pipe 7, the diameter D1 of the enlarged-shaped portion 10 becomes larger than the inner peripheral surface of the pipe 7. In order to cope with this, when the holding member 8 can slide freely in the pipe 7, on the other hand, as shown by a two-dot chain line, the holding member 8 is tilted to extend substantially horizontally outward from the slit 9. In the first embodiment, the diameter D2 of the enlarged shape portion 10 frictionally engages with the inner peripheral surface of the pipe 7, makes the pressing member 8 non-slidable and supports the tilting position extending substantially horizontally as in the above-described embodiment. . During the rotation operation of the holding member 8, the side surfaces 10a of the enlarged shape portion 10 are in the state of being close to the corresponding side surfaces of the pipe 7, so that the holding member 8 extends substantially horizontally. In the tilted position, the extending end is in the lateral direction,
That is, there is an advantage that the displacement in the vertical direction in FIG.

FIG. 6 shows another modification in which the opposing ends of a pair of holding members extending in a tilted state are different from those of the above-described embodiment. Corresponding portions have the same reference numerals as those of the embodiment. A description is given below with reference to FIG.

In this modification, one of the opposing ends 8a of both holding members 8 is constituted by an elongated engaging member 12 and the other is constituted by an engaging receiving member 13 having an engaging recess 13a. One side of the engagement recess 13a is closed by a wall 13b.

As shown in the figure, when both holding members 8 are tilted to the inclined position where they are substantially horizontal, the opposite end portions 8a of the holding members 8 are engaged with the engagement receiving member 13 by the engagement members 12. By fitting into the recess 13a, they are removably connected to each other. That is, the engagement member 12 and the engagement receiving member 13 constitute a connecting means.

As described above, since both holding members 8 are connected by the connecting means, they are fixed in the inclined position in a stable state, so that the holding function for the sewn object 3 is further improved. In order to release both holding members 8 from the above-mentioned connected state, it is only necessary to slightly shift one of the opposed ends 8a in the lateral direction, and to hold both holding members 8 in such a manner that the base ends are cantilevered. Since it is only supported, the opposing end 8a can be easily shifted in the lateral direction.

Although the embodiments and the modified examples of the present invention have been described above, the materials of the mounting plate 5, the binding pipe 7, and the holding member 8 constituting the binding tool 2 are not limited to metal but may be other materials such as hard synthetic resin. A material of a material is also possible. The binding pipe 7 may have any shape other than a circular cross section or a rectangular cross section as long as the punch pipe 4 can be inserted therethrough. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiment and the modified examples, and further includes various modified configurations.

[0034]

As described above, according to the file spelling implement of the present invention, since there is no component such as a presser fitting which is separated from the file main body as in the conventional case at the time of the work for binding the object to be sewn, the work can be omitted. It can be performed easily and quickly, and there is no risk of parts being lost. Further, in the operation of binding and taking out the object to be bound, the tilting operation or the reverse rotation operation is performed between the position along the longitudinal direction of the binding pipe and the tilting position extending substantially horizontally. Just performing the operation eliminates the need for an operation such as hooking at all, and can be performed by a so-called one-touch operation, so that the operation can be performed more efficiently. In addition, by changing the height of the holding member in accordance with the amount of the material to be sewn into the file and tilting the holding member, regardless of the amount of the sewn material, without leaving a gap with the material to be sewn, Since the pressing member can always be positioned on the upper surface, various effects can be obtained, such as the object to be sewn can be always held in a stable state, and the structure can be provided simply and at low cost.
