Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file, and more particularly, to an operation for fixing a base of a binding device to a spine or back cover serving as a surface to be fixed. The present invention relates to a file that can be easily performed, and that can separate a binding device and a cover, thereby facilitating separation and disposal or reuse of the binding device. [0002] Hitherto, files having a binding tool on the inner surface side of a spine or back cover have been commercially available.
The binding device used for the files includes, for example, a base, a pair of binding plates disposed on both left and right sides of the base, and a binding rod extending between the binding plates. When the base is fixed to the spine, a plurality of holes are formed at the coaxial line position between the base and the spine, and the base is fixed with rivets through the holes. Has been adopted. [0004] However, in the fixing method using the rivet, a manufacturing facility such as a dedicated rivet driving device or the like is indispensable, and an operation for maintaining an appropriate fixing position is required. Disadvantageously lowering the production efficiency. In the case of files, the cover side is flammable, while the binding side is usually made of metal to maintain load-bearing performance. Is required. However, in the rivet fixing method, it is difficult to separate them, and in fact, they are discarded without being separated. [0005] Separate disposal has recently been strongly demanded from the viewpoint of recent waste disposal problems or the protection of the natural environment. More preferred. In this regard, for example, a binding device used for a file is almost never disabled itself, and only the cover side is generally obsolete and unusable. [0006] It is an object of the present invention not only to make it easier to separate and discard, but also to reuse parts that are still valuable as parts, that is, to easily reuse binding devices. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a file which can contribute to the regulation of the total amount of waste. [0007] In order to achieve the above object, a binding device having a base and a binding member provided on the base can be detachably attached to a surface to be fixed via a predetermined base fixing device. In the file to be fixed to the base member, the base fixture is connected to an outer member located on the outer surface side of the fixed surface, and is connected to the surface of the outer member, penetrates the fixed surface, and engages with and disengages from the base. The upright member is provided with a possible claw portion, and the upright member always engages with the base and fixes it to the surface to be fixed, while forcibly displacing the upright member by angular displacement and inclining. The engagement is released when displaced to the posture. According to such a configuration, the base can be detached from the surface to be fixed by releasing the engagement between the claw portion and the base, thereby facilitating separation and disposal or reuse of the binding device. An embodiment of a binding device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this specification, "left and right" are used with reference to the short width direction of the spine shown in FIG. 1 and "up and down" are used with reference to the longitudinal direction of the spine unless otherwise specified. Can be FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a main part of a first embodiment of a file according to the present invention, and FIG.
A partially omitted cross-sectional view along the line A is shown. In these drawings, a file binding device 10 includes a base 13 fixed to the inner surface of a spine 11 as a surface to be fixed, and a pair of bases 13 disposed on both left and right sides of the base 13 and capable of being pressed inward. Operating member 15, a shaft pin 17 supported on the left and right sides of the base 13, respectively, and partially held by the operating member 15, and a left and right side provided with the lower end side detachably provided on the shaft pin 17. A pair of binding plates 20, 21
And a binding rod 23 as a binding member formed of a pipe fixed at two positions on the relative surfaces of the binding plates 20 and 21 and fitted in the axial direction in a telescopic relationship with each other. The binding plates 20 and 21 can be detached from the base 13 by the displacement of the shaft pin 17 when the operation member 15 is pressed inward. Here, the base 13 has one longitudinal end engaged with the positioning member 24, and the other end engaged with the base fixture 25 and fixed to the spine 11. The base 13 has a pair of upper and lower (left and right in FIG. 2) fixed surface portions 26, 26 fixed to two positions above and below the spine 11, and an inclined surface portion 26 between these fixed surface portions 26.
And an intermediate surface portion 27 that is provided continuously through the A. Of the fixing surface portions 26, the positioning member 24
An extension piece 27 protruding in the same plane as the fixed surface part 26 is connected to the fixed surface part 26 located on the side, and the outer edge of the extension piece 27 has an upward engaging projection piece 28.
(See FIG. 2). On the other hand, in the other fixed surface portion 26, substantially rectangular holes 29 are formed at two positions in the width direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 2). The positioning member 24 has a substantially rectangular plate-shaped outer support piece 30 attached to the outer surface of the spine 11 so as to be in surface contact with the outer cover side, and stands up from the surface of the outer support piece 30. It comprises two upstanding projections 31 extending through holes 11A formed in the spine 11. Each of the upstanding projections 31 has a bent portion 32 at an upper end so as to have a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section, and the engagement protrusion 28 is engaged with a lower surface of the bent portion 32. . As shown in FIG. 3, the base fixture 25 has an outer member 34 having substantially the same plane shape as the outer support piece 30, and is connected to one surface of the outer member 34 so as to be connected. It is constituted by two upright members 35 extending through holes 11B formed in the spine 11 and holes 29 formed in the fixed surface portion 26. The left side width of the upright member 35 in FIG.
An inclined portion 35 </ b> A that is larger than the inner diameter of 9 is formed. A horizontal surface 35B is formed at the lower end of the inclined portion 35A, and the fixed surface 2
A claw 37 extending downward in the hole 29 in a state in contact with a forming edge of the hole 29 formed in 6 is protruded downward. Further, a hole 39 is formed in the upright member 35 from the upper end surface thereof along the upright direction of the upright member 35.
Inside 9, a shaft member 40 as an operation rod composed of familiar objects such as a writing implement shaft or a driver is provided so as to be insertable. When the base 13 is fixed to the spine 11 in the above configuration, first, the positioning member 24 and the base fixture 25 are attached to the spine 11. Next, the entire base 13 is set in the inclined posture,
The engagement protrusion 28 of the one fixed surface portion 26 is engaged with the lower surface side of the bent portion 32 of the first fixed surface portion 26. Next, the position of the fixed surface portion 26 on the opposite side is lowered so that the base 13 is in a horizontal posture, so that the upper portion of the upright member 35 enters the hole 29 of the fixed surface portion 26. When a pushing force is applied to the fixed surface portion 26 from above in this state, the upright member 35 is displaced from the initial upright posture to an inclined posture shifted by a predetermined angle due to the presence of the above-described inclined portion 35A. ", The formation edge of the hole 29 is partially engaged with the horizontal portion 35B and the claw portion 37. On the other hand, when the base 13 is to be removed from the spine 11, as shown in FIG. 4, the shaft member 40 is inserted into the hole 39 of the upright member 35, and an external force is applied so as to incline the shaft member 40. By doing so, the upright member 35 can be forcibly displaced in angle to release the above-mentioned engagement state. Therefore, according to such an embodiment, it is possible to fix the base 13 only by pushing the base 13 into the spine 11, and to use the shaft member 40 which is present at hand. Thus, the base 13 can be detached and the operation of attaching and detaching the base can be performed extremely easily and quickly without using a special tool. It should be noted that the file according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may have a configuration as shown in FIG. 5, for example. In this configuration, the engaging projection 42 is formed on the edge of the fixed surface portion 26, while the claw 43 is formed on the upper right side of the upright member 35 in FIG.
The base 13 is fixed by the engagement of the engaging projections 42 with the engaging projections 42. In order to release the engagement, the shaft member 40 may be inserted into the hole 45 formed in the upright member 35 and may be inclined in the direction shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure. Therefore, even with such a configuration, the same operation and effect as those of the above embodiment can be obtained. Further, in the above-described embodiment, one of the fixed surface portions 2 is provided.
Although the case where the base fixing tool 25 is applied to 6 is illustrated and described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the base 13 may be fixed by providing the base fixing tool 25 on each fixing surface 26. In this case, the positioning member 24 described above is of course unnecessary. As described above, according to the present invention,
While the base can be fixed by engaging the claw portion of the upright member with the fixed surface, the engagement can be released when the upright member is displaced to the inclined posture by forcibly displacing the base member. And facilitates sorting and disposal or reuse of the binding device.
