DESCRIPTION

IDENTIFICATION FOR SPIRAL BINDINGS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as indicated in the title, refers to an identification, specifically, to a support that has a space in which relevant information is described in spiral-type bindings or also known as worm bindings.

The object of this invention is to provide a hitherto unknown solution for several drawbacks that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows the title or other relevant information to be displayed easily and quickly on the spine of bound documents. spiral or worm.

The system in question provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages with respect to the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

Although it is true that technology continues to advance by leaps and bounds and everything tends to become digital, paper notes are still used at work or study.

Thus, physical documents have not fallen into disuse, but are very common in many sectors.

The binding for these documents can be of the most varied, being one of them the spiral or worm.

This format is widely known and used for its practicality and economy, and although it provides several advantages, it has an unresolved drawback to date, which is that, when storing documents with this type of binding, since it does not have a spine printed, it is not possible to see the title or any type of information.

The impossibility of printing information on the spiral itself is obvious, which causes that when a user has several volumes of this type on his shelf or bookstore, he finds himself faced with the need to remove them one by one or all at the same time and go see the corresponding lids to determine the content.

In spiral or worm binding, this absence of a spine on which to write or print a title is what leads the inventor to look for a way to identify the content of the document at a glance without having to manipulate the volumes.

Until now, no system was known in the state of the art that allows solving this drawback in a quick, simple and economical way.

The identifier that the invention proposes satisfactorily resolves the aforementioned problem, providing a series of advantageous and innovative characteristics, and without implying any reduction in its performance in other aspects.

The proposed invention aims to provide an economical, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be identification of the bound document at a glance.

The present invention has its field of application in the binding sector, and more specifically, in spiral or worm type bindings.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the sector of the invention in question, although none of them fulfill the same function or provide the same advantageous characteristics.

Thus, in the document ES 1070843 U we find a label for the spines of books, publications or magazines bound with spirals or combs, characterized by the fact that it comprises a sheet of flexible polymeric material provided with two adhesive zones on the same face, these being adhesive areas separated by a certain distance so that the two adhesive areas can be adhered to the covers of said book, publication or magazine, leaving the central part of the sheet attached to the spine when said book, publication or magazine is closed.

Although this document provides a possible solution to the problem, the proposal to use adhesive areas is uncomfortable to use and impractical. In addition, by also covering the cover and not just the spine, it can create additional inconveniences.

On the other hand, document ES 2554002 A1 provides an individual element that can be attached to sheets of paper to facilitate their binding, characterized in that it is formed by a strip of fine and ductile material, which allows it to be attached and fixed on the left side of the a sheet of paper or sheet of paper, as long as the length and width of the sheet of paper to be bound, leaving said sheet attached to the right side of the individual element, not permanently and where this individual element must have a certain width that allows a perforated, and joined as a single body with the right part of the strip that is impregnated with an adhesive, which remains covered by a thin sheet or film that must be disposable at the time of the coupling and gluing operation of the sheet with this adhesive right part of the individual element, forming a single body made up of the sheet and the individual element.

In this document we again find a complex and large piece that not only covers the spine but also more parts of the document and also uses adhesive areas. All this creates discomfort and increases the costs of the product.

Thus we see that until now an identifier was not known that due to its novel characteristics solves the aforementioned drawbacks both in terms of the cited documents and other inventions or traditional systems that we find in the state of the art.

Taking into consideration the mentioned cases and analyzing the conjugated arguments, with the invention proposed in this document, a final result is given in which significant differentiating aspects are provided compared to the current state of the art, and where a series of of advances in the already known elements with their corresponding advantages.

In particular:

- Easy placement and removal of identification.

- Economic product.

- Can be attached to any spiral-type binding that exists in the state of the art.

- It lacks adhesive areas that could negatively affect the document.

- It covers only an area of the spine and not the entire document as in other known systems.

- Possibility of presenting it in different sizes, shapes and colors. - It can also be used as a bookmark.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the present invention is made up of the following elements: A sheet of appropriate material, preferably rectangular in shape, attached to the spine of a document with a spiral or worm-type binding, which has both its upper and lower end with a thread or elastic band provided with a means of coupling such as a lobster clasp, ring or other similar system, and in whose central area there is an informative space in which the information is written or printed. title or any other information that may be considered relevant, said coupling means being very easy to fix or remove from the spiral.

In a different embodiment, the lower end has a Velcro for fixing to the spine of the binding.

The aforementioned identification sheet can also be used as a bookmark by removing the attachment from the lower end, thus removing it from the spine of the document to insert it between its pages, the sheet being attached only at its upper end.
