About.

The integration of the two means into a single filing tool provides the advantage that a multi-functional filing tool is provided, and the user can connect the filing tool to the ring mechanism for document classification. You can freely choose to use with files and other or suspended classification systems. The filing tool of the present invention can also be used , for example, to temporarily place a document that is normally classified with a suspension classification system without the need to puncture the document or attach another type of filing tool when used. It also gives the advantage of easy binding to ring files and others.

Furthermore, the present invention also provides the advantage that a user using both a ring file and a suspended classification system need only obtain a single type of filing device . At this time, the user can use the filing tool in a desired form.

Furthermore, the manufacturer need only manufacture a single type of filing device to deliver goods to the two markets.

The present invention is particularly useful when the filing device comprises a body having one or more holders, the type of holder allowing the holder to cooperate with a document or other folded back cover, Such a document (which can be a magazine, for example) can be put on the holder by its folded back cover.

However, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to such types of filing tools , and in principle can be applied to all filing tools capable of attaching documents. . The concept of documents should be interpreted in its broadest sense. Such a document can be a piece of paper, a stack of paper such as a magazine, or also a file or the like that can store paper or the like.

  Said attachment means preferably comprises two or more openings forming a passage which can cooperate with a ring mechanism or other ring.

Said suspension means preferably consists of hook-shaped parts arranged near each free end of the filing tool .

  A particularly important preferred characteristic of the present invention is that the suspension means is part of a component that can be at least partially retracted. Here, being able to be retracted shall mean retractable, foldable, or other embodiments. However, in other embodiments, like the former two, these suspension means can be placed in a use position where the means protrudes clearly, while the means is more inward. It can be arranged at a position different from the use position.

When the retractable part is retracted, it preferably takes a position where the total length of the filing tool is equal to or nearly equal to the length defined by the holder, and in this retracted position, the filing tool is wasted. There are no parts protruding.

By using such retractable parts or areas, the filing tool can be optimally adjusted for the required application at any time.

As another special feature, this suspension means is part of the moving parts so that when these moving parts are removed, the remaining part is still a filing tool that can cooperate with the ring system and others. It has become.

Thus, when this filing tool is used in a ring file, the total thickness of the filing tool is reduced to a unique minimum value due to the removal of the part, and there is usually no more effective space for storing documents in the ring file or the like. Has the advantage of not being adversely affected by the thicker suspended parts.

This also provides the advantage that a single product can be optimally used by three groups of users. First, a user who uses only a suspension system and a user who uses both systems can be considered. These users can be promoted to sell the filing device provided with the suspension means. In addition, some users desire to use the classification system exclusively with ring files and the like, and such users can be promoted with filing tools that do not have parts with suspension means.

  According to the most preferred embodiment, said part with suspension means can be moved, in particular retracted and removed and / or removed so that all of the advantages are combined. be able to.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to more fully describe the features of the present invention. This embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the invention in any way.

As shown in FIGS. 1-7, the present invention relates to a filing tool 1 that can cooperate with a document 2. The filing tool 1 has at least on the one hand mounting means 3 that allow the filing tool 1 to cooperate with a ring mechanism, for example a ring 4 of a ring file 5 as shown in FIG. The filing device 1 has a suspension means 6 which makes it possible to suspend the filing device 1 from two suspension rails 7 , 8 in a suspension classification system, in particular as shown in FIG.

The filing tool 1 has a main body 9 extending in the length direction, and the main body 9 is made of an I-shaped profile in the example shown here.

The body 9 comprises holders 10 , 11 at each end thereof, which holders 10 , 11 preferably consist of hook-shaped elements 12-13, as shown in the figure, which elements are the length of the filing tool 1. It extends almost parallel to the vertical direction, and the free ends 14 , 15 of the element face each other. In particular, the types of holders 10 and 11 shown here enable the holders 10 and 11 to cooperate with the document 2 or the folded back cover 16 of the magazine shown schematically in this case in FIG. It is. These holders 10 and 11 can be made integrally with the main body 9 as shown in the figure.

  The attachment means 3 comprises two or more openings 17 in the body 9, which openings 17 form a passage which can cooperate with a ring mechanism or other rings 4.

The suspension means 6 is composed of hook-shaped parts 18, 19 arranged at each end close to the filing device 1, said parts 18, 19, relative to the body 9, at least partially retracted respectively or extended In the example shown here, the parts 20 and 21 are shown. In this case, these parts 20-21 are such that when the parts are retracted, the total length L1 of the filing tool 1 is equal to or almost equal to the length L2 defined by the holders 10 , 11; 1 takes the position shown in FIG. 1 such that L1 is equal to or nearly equal to the length from the outer end to the outer end of the holder 10 , 11, while in the extended position, the hook-shaped parts 18 , 19 are As shown in FIG. 3, it can be slid so that it is arranged on the outer side.

In this example, the hook-shaped parts 18 , 19, ie the parts 20 , 21 with the suspension means 6, can be removed, in other words, can be removed from the body 9 and returned to the body 9. It is done. Here, the whole is designed in such a way that when the removable parts 20 , 21 are removed, what remains is a filing tool 1 that can still cooperate with the ring mechanism and the like.

The parts 20 , 21 can be provided on the body 9 and can be individually removed from the body 9, so that these parts 20 , 21 can be removed from the body 9 as is apparent from FIGS. Make it movable on top.

The body 9, the fixing means 22 is provided, said fixing means, said means 20, 21 when provided in the body 9, said means 20, 21 prevent the outside from naturally body 9. These fastening means 22 consist of elastically bent parts 23 which, when stationary, take an outwardly curved position, as shown in FIG. 6, and are therefore a stop for the respective parts 20 , 21. It becomes. Obviously, however, by bending these parts 23 to the surface of the core 24 of the main body 9, the parts 20 , 21 can be removed from the main body 9 again. As can also be seen, when the parts 20 , 21 are provided on the body 9, the part 23 is automatically pressed against the surface of the core 24, so that the fixing means do not interfere with the mounting.

In the case of the example shown here, the parts 20 , 21 have a passage 25 with a T-section, so that these parts can slide on the uppermost horizontal flange 26 of the body 9. Of course, the parts 20 , 21 can be provided in the body 9 so that they can slide in other ways.

The operation and use of the filing tool 1 can be easily understood from the figures shown here.

1 and 2, when the parts 20 , 21 are retracted by sliding, the filing tool 1 is in the best arrangement for use to store the document 2 in the ring file 5 and others. This storage is done by attaching the document 2 to the hook-shaped elements 12 , 13 and placing the body 9 on the ring 4 by means of a suitable opening 17 so that the document can be attached to the ring file 5 by the filing tool 1. The

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4-6, full extension of the parts 20 , 21 creates a condition in which the document 2 can be suspended from the suspended classification system, as shown in FIG.

By pushing the parts 23 until they are arranged in the same plane as the core material 24, the parts 20 , 21 of the main body 1 can be removed as shown in FIG. Obviously, the filing tool 1 after this operation can still be used to classify documents with the ring file 5 etc., but the total thickness of the filing tool 1 is that parts 20 , 21 remain on the body 9. Smaller than the case.

Obviously, several variations are possible. For example, it is not necessary overall stretchability give always by sliding, it is possible to provide for example the rotation of the parts 20, 21, by the use of folding.

Further, these parts 20 and 21 do not necessarily need to be detachable and / or extendable. According to the invention, a fixed structure made in one piece is also possible, which can be used either in a ring file or in a suspended classification system.

The filing tool 1 may be provided with other means for attaching a document instead of the two holders 10 and 11. For example, the hook-shaped elements 12 , 13 can be replaced by a single continuous element extending parallel to the body 9. Further, for example, in the case where a “document” is used as it is to form a file, for example, a suspended file, it is not excluded that the filing tool 1 is embodied with the document.

The present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above by way of example and shown in the accompanying drawings, and conversely, the filing device of the present invention for documents and the like remains within the scope of the present invention. Can be made in all kinds of shapes and dimensions.
