<Prior Art> A conventional document punching device simply has a punching blade movably mounted on a support that is erected from a document table.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Therefore, conventional document punches merely have the function of punching holes in documents.

Therefore, in order to bind thick documents using a binding tool, place the document on the document mounting table of the punch, punch the binding holes, then lower the document from the document mounting table and place the binding tool inside the binding hole. It was extremely troublesome.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a drilling blade that is movable up and down on the top of a support that is erected from a base. A document mounting table is provided on the base so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and an impact receiving part for the perforating blade is provided on the upper surface of the base below the perforating blade, and either on the left or right side of the impact receiving part is provided. A binding device placement part for placing the binding device so that the binding device does not move is provided, and a horizontally long through opening is provided in the document mounting table in a portion that overlaps with the above-mentioned impact receiving part and the binding device placement part. And so.

<Function> Since the present invention adopts the above-described configuration, it is possible to open a plurality of binding holes in a thick document by simply moving the document mounting table in the left-right direction without lowering the document from the mounting table. Moreover, the binding tool can be inserted into the binding hole without removing the document from the mounting table, and the drilling operation and the insertion of the binding tool can be performed in a series of extremely simple operations.

<Example> The present invention will be described below based on drawings of an example.

As shown in FIG. 1, a perforator 1 according to the present invention is provided with a perforating blade 5 facing downward, which is movable up and down by the operation of a handle 4, on the upper part of a column 3 which is erected from a base 2. A document mounting table 6 is provided above so as to be movable in the left-right direction.

The base 2 has a protrusion 7 in the left-right direction in a portion located below the perforation blade 5, and a shock receiving part 8 for the perforation blade 5 made of rubber or the like is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion 7. On the left and right sides of the shock receiving part 8, binding fastener mounting parts 9, 9, each having a circular depression shape and having a through hole at the bottom are formed at a predetermined interval, and a document mounting table 6 is provided at the corner of the upper surface. A ring-shaped support portion 10 that supports the device movably in the left-right direction is provided to protrude upward.

The document mounting table 6 movably supported by the support part 10 is formed by forming a thin iron plate into a box with an open bottom surface, and has leg parts 11 inside. A horizontally elongated support rod 12 is movably inserted into the hole of the leg portion 11 and fixed thereto, thereby making it movable in the left-right direction. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a hole pitch setting mechanism 13 is provided which can set the amount of movement of the document table 6, that is, the pitch of the holes to a predetermined length. As shown in FIG. 5, this hole pitch setting mechanism 13 includes a pitch setting rod 14 provided on the base 2 along the moving direction of the document placement table 6, and a locking operation section provided on the document placement table 6. It consists of 15 mag. The pitch setting rod 14 has a plurality of sliding surfaces formed with locking grooves 16 of different pitches, and is placed on the base 2 with one end on which the pitch is displayed protruding from the side of the document mounting table 6. It is rotatably supported. The locking operation section 15 has one end locking section 17, as shown in FIG.
The locking piece 18 is swingably supported on the lower surface of the document placement table 6 with the locking piece 18 in contact with the upper sliding surface of the pitch setting rod 14, and the locking piece 18 is provided on the top surface of the document placement table 6 so as to be movable up and down. The lower end of the operating portion 15 faces the other end of the locking piece 18. Therefore, by rotating the pitch setting rod 14, the locking groove 16 of the desired pitch can be set.
When moving the document table 6 with the sliding surface facing upward, the locking operation section 15 is operated so that the locking portion 17 of the locking piece 18 is sequentially locked into the locking groove 16 of the sliding surface. By doing so, the document mounting table 6 can be moved to a desired pitch.

When the document mounting table 6 is moved from side to side in this way, it is necessary to ensure that the fastener mounting portion 9 provided on the base 2 is always visible. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, a horizontally elongated through opening 19 is formed in the document mounting table 6 at a portion overlapping with the impact receiving portion 8 of the punching blade 5 and the binding device mounting portion 9.

Furthermore, if the document is misaligned when punching a binding hole in a document placed on the document mounting table 6 or inserting a binding tool, the perforation position becomes inaccurate and it becomes difficult to insert the binding tool. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
A document holding mechanism 21 is provided near the through opening 19.

The left-right position regulating mechanism 20 has horizontally elongated slide holes 22 and 23 in the left and right halves of the document table 6, respectively, with the front and rear positions slightly changed.
2, and the lower end of the right position regulating piece 25 into the right slide hole 23. The distances to the position regulating pieces 25 are set equally. Then, the left rack gear 26 provided at the lower end of the left position regulating piece 24 is engaged with the pinion gear 27 in the document mounting table 6 from above, and the right rack gear 28 provided at the lower end of the right position regulating piece 25 is engaged with the pinion gear 27 from above. Engage from below. Therefore, one position regulating piece, for example, the left position regulating piece 24
When the left rack gear 26 moves to the right or left, the left rack gear 26 moves the right rack gear 28 in the opposite direction to the left rack gear 26 via the pinion gear 27, and the right position regulating piece 25 moves by the same length as the left position regulating piece 24. Move in the opposite direction.

The document holding mechanism 21 includes a horizontally long plate-shaped document pressing member 29 provided above the through opening 19 so as to be movable up and down. The document pressing member 29 has a punching blade insertion hole 30 that is slightly longer than the moving length of the document mounting table 6 in the middle of its length, and horizontal U-shaped stopper pieces 31, 31 made of an elastic material at both ends. , by fitting the guide posts 32 erected on the upper surface of the document table 6 into the hole 31' of the stopper piece 31, so that the document table 6 can be moved vertically. Therefore, if you narrow the upper and lower ends of the stopper piece 31 with your fingers, the stopper piece 3
Since the frictional resistance between the hole 31' of No. 1 and the guide post 32 can be reduced, the document pressing member 29
can be raised and lowered to the desired height. After setting the document pressing member 29 to a desired height, when you release your finger from the stopper piece 31, the elasticity of the stopper piece 31 and the spring 33 wound around the guide post 32
The upper and lower ends of the stopper piece 31 open due to the repulsive force of the stopper piece 31, and the hole 31' of the stopper piece 31 and the guide post 3
2, the stopper piece 31 stops at that position, and the document pressing member 29 presses the document on the document mounting table 6 from above.

In order to punch a binding hole using the perforator 1 having the above-described configuration and insert a binding tool into the binding hole to bind a document, the following operations are performed.

First, before punching a binding hole in a document, the female members 35 of the binding device 34 are fitted into the binding device mounting portions 9, 9, respectively. As shown in FIG. 7, this fastening tool 34 consists of a rod-shaped male member 36 made of soft synthetic resin and a short cylindrical female member 35 made of soft synthetic resin. The male member 36 has a male flange 37 at one end, and a large number of serrated male teeth 38 with a short pitch that decreases in diameter toward the tip on the outer circumferential surface of almost the entire length. on the other hand,
The female member 35 has the above-described male flange portion 37 at the opening at one end.
A plurality of female teeth 40 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the short cylindrical portion to mesh with the male teeth 38 of the male member 36. Therefore,
When the tip of the male member 36 is faced into the opening at the other end of the female member 35 and pressed strongly, the male teeth 38 and female teeth 40 will slip, allowing the male member 36 to be inserted into the female member 35. Even if an attempt is made to pull out the male member 36 inserted into the female member 35, the male teeth 38 and the female teeth 40 are strongly engaged, so that the male member 36 cannot be pulled out.

When the female member 35 having the above-described structure is fitted into the left and right binding fastener mounting portions 9, it is fitted with the female flange facing downward, and then the document is placed on the document mounting table 6. In order to place a document on the document mounting table 6, the document pressing member 29 is raised, and the distance between the left and right position regulating pieces 24, 25 is set to the width of the document.
Place the stacked documents aligned between the left and right position regulating pieces 24 and 25, pass the front part of the document under the document pressing member 29, and press the front end to the front end position regulating part 4.
1. Then, the stopper piece 31 is lowered and the document pressing member 29 strongly presses the document from above.

Once the document is placed on the document table 6 as described above, the pitch setting rod 14 is rotated to select the desired pitch, and the locking piece 18 is engaged with the locking groove 16. In this way, the drilling blade 5 is placed above one drilling position.
is located. Therefore, when the perforating blade 5 is lowered by rotating the handle 4, the perforating blade 5
The distal end portion of the punching blade passes through the punching blade insertion hole 30 and comes into contact with a predetermined position on the top surface of the document, thereby making it possible to punch one binding hole. Note that even if the punching blade 5 penetrates to the bottom surface of the document, the punching blade 5 comes into contact with the impact receiving part 8, so that the cutting edge is not damaged.

Once the binding hole on the other hand, for example, on the left, is bored in the manner described above, the locking operation portion 15 is pressed to remove the locking piece 18 from the locking groove 16, and the document mounting table 6 is moved to the left. When moving the document table 6, when you release your hand from the locking operation part 15 and slide the locking piece 18 on the sliding surface of the pitch setting rod 14, the document table 6 moves by a predetermined length. At this time, the locking piece 18 locks into the next locking groove 16, so that the other drilling position can be located below the punching blade 5 very easily. When the handle 4 is rotated as described above, the second binding hole can be made at a desired pitch.

When the above-mentioned punching operation is completed, the locking piece 18 is removed from the locking groove 16, the document mounting table 6 is returned to the center, and both binding holes are positioned above the binding fastener mounting portions 9, 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the male members 36, 36 are inserted from their tips into the upper openings of the binding holes of the document, and are sufficiently pressed until the respective male flanges 37 come into contact with the document. When the male member 36 is sufficiently pressed, the male teeth 38 of the male member 36 and the female teeth 40 of the female member 35 engage, and the tip of the male member 36 is brought into contact with the female member 3.
It protrudes below 5. Therefore, the document is firmly fastened by both binding fasteners 34, 34.

When the document tightening work is completed as described above, the stoppers 31 and 31 of the document holding mechanism 21 are operated to raise the document holding member 29, and then the document is lowered from the document mounting table 6. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the tip portion of the male member 36 protruding from the female member 35 is cut and removed using a cutter, scissors, or the like.

In addition, although the above-mentioned Example is a binding perforator provided with two fastener mounting parts 9, 9, the present invention is not limited to the number of fastener mounting parts. For example, a large number of locking grooves 16 may be provided corresponding to the pitches of the locking grooves 16 of the pitch setting rod 14. In this case, it is desirable to display the pitch on each binding device placement section.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, multiple binding holes can be easily made in a thick document by simply moving the document mounting table in the left and right direction, and the document can be placed easily. The fastening tool can be inserted into the fastening hole without being taken down from the table, and the drilling work and the insertion work of the fastening tool can be performed in a series of extremely simple operations. Therefore, even when a large amount of documents are to be bound into multiple volumes, the work can be done extremely efficiently.
