Description

  The present invention relates to a document holder for storing sheet-like items such as documents and photographs.

Various types of document holders have been proposed for storing sheet-like items such as documents and photographs. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a document holder in which a plurality of document holders are fixed to a cover material made of a hard sheet material. To explain in more detail, the document compartment consists of three soft sheet materials formed in a rectangular shape, and transparent sheets are fused on both sides of the opaque sheet material to store documents, etc. Two pockets are formed. The transparent sheet material is fused to the opaque sheet material on only two sides of the four sides, and documents are stored from the two sides that are not fused. On the other hand, the front cover material is composed of a front cover, a back cover, and a back cover, and one side of the document case is fused inside the back cover.

  However, since the document holder is formed of a soft sheet material, the document holder is easily bent and the stored document is easily damaged. In addition, there is a problem that when the two open sides are bent, the appearance is deteriorated. On the other hand, although it is conceivable to form the document case with a hard material, there are the following problems. That is, the document holder is turned like a hinge with respect to the back cover, but if it is a hard material, it may be difficult to turn. Further, when the front cover and the back cover are opened so as to be horizontal, the document holder is difficult to open, and it is difficult to spread the cover. Furthermore, there is a problem that the document holder is warped due to the repulsive force of the material, or if it is forcibly spread, a crease may be formed and it is difficult to handle.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document holder that can store documents and the like and is easy to spread.

  A document holder according to the present invention is made to solve the above-described problem, and includes at least a front cover and a back cover among a plurality of document holders that hold documents, a front cover, a back cover, and a back cover. And each of the document holders is formed of a sheet-like material and is connected to the document holder. And a connecting portion formed of a sheet-like material that is more flexible than the document holding portion, and each of the document holding bodies is fixed to the cover material.

  According to this structure, the connection part connected with the spine is formed of a material that is more flexible than the document holding part. Since the connecting portion functions as a hinge when turning the document holding portion, if the connecting portion is formed of a flexible material, the document holding portion is easily held open. That is, even if the desired document holding part is opened and the hand is released, the document holding part does not rebound from the spread state and returns to the original state. For this reason, there is also an advantage that the document holding part is easily turned. On the other hand, since the document holding part is formed of a material harder than the connecting part, the document can be firmly held.

  The document holding unit is configured by, for example, connecting a document holding unit between a pair of document holding units in addition to the configuration of connecting one document holding unit and one connecting unit. be able to. At this time, it is preferable that the plurality of document holders are overlaid and each of the overlaid connected bodies is fixed to a cover material. In addition, you may fix a connection body in any position of a back cover, a front cover, and a back cover among cover materials. Further, the cover material may be folded in half without a back cover.

  In each of the document holders, the document holding unit is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to hold the document. For example, it can be configured by forming two sheets of rectangular sheet material that are overlapped and connecting these two sheets at least at two adjacent sides among the four sides. In this case, the open side may be connected to the connecting portion, or the closed side may be connected to the connecting portion. Note that the two sheets can be integrally formed. That is, when one side is bonded in a state in which one rectangular sheet-shaped material is folded in half, a document holding portion in which two sides are opened is obtained. In addition, various modes can be used as long as documents can be stored, such as opening only one of the four sides (non-adhering), stacking three sheets of material, and having two pockets, etc. Can be.

  Further, when the document holding portion is formed of two stacked rectangular sheet-like materials, a gusset may be formed on at least one of the sides adjacent to the side connected to the connecting portion. it can. “Machi” refers to a surface that gives a thickness to a connecting portion of two sheet-like materials. For example, a surface that becomes a bottom surface can be provided on the lower side of the two sheet-like materials. By providing such a gusset, a large number of documents can be stored between two sheets of material. Further, if a crease is provided so that this surface is folded, the gusset as the bottom surface is folded and the document holder can be prevented from being bulky.

  Furthermore, in the case where the document holding part is formed of two stacked rectangular sheet-like materials, in the two sheet-like materials, by providing a difference in the length of at least one of a pair of opposing sides, In at least one of the sides other than the side connected to the connecting portion, it is possible to form a region where the two sheet-like materials do not overlap each other by a predetermined length. If it does in this way, it will become easy to open the two rectangular sheet-like material on which it was piled up, and a document can be easily inserted between both sheet-like materials. The area where both sheet-like materials do not overlap may be any side, but, for example, of the two sheet-like materials constituting the document holding part, the direction from the small edge to the back in one sheet-like material Can be shortened. Thereby, the area | region where two rectangular sheets do not overlap is formed in the edge | side corresponding to a fore edge.

  According to the document holder according to the present invention, it is possible to securely store documents and the like, and to make it easy to spread.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a document holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view when the document holder according to the present embodiment is opened, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a manufacturing process of the document holder of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a view of folding the document holder of FIG. It is a perspective view of a state.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the document holder according to the present embodiment is configured by attaching a plurality of document holders 2 that hold a document to a cover material 1 that can be bent in a U-shape. The front cover material 1 is composed of a front cover 11, a back cover 12, and a back cover 13 formed of a hard material, and the front cover 11 and the back cover 13 are foldably connected so as to sandwich the narrow back cover 12. Has been.

  Each document holder 2 includes a pair of document holders 21 for storing documents, and a connecting portion 22 connected between the two document holders 21. Each document holding part 21 folds a rectangular hard resin film (sheet-like material) in two, and adheres one short side 211 of the four sides of the periphery by thermal fusion, ultrasonic fusion, or the like. It consists of As a result, the document holding unit 21 opens the two sides 212 and 213 of the four sides in a non-fused manner, and can store the document between the films. In the open long side 212, a semicircular cutout 215 is formed in one of the superposed resin films, and this cutout 215 makes it easy to roll one film.

  The connecting portion 22 is formed of a resin film that is more flexible than the document holding portion 21, and is formed in a rectangular shape that is slightly narrower than the spine cover 12. And the document holding | maintenance part 21 is connected with each long side which opposes. More specifically, in the document holding unit 21, the long side 214 opposite to the open long side 212 is connected to the connecting unit 22 by heat fusion, ultrasonic fusion, or the like.

  In addition, the cover material 1, the document holding | maintenance part 21, and the connection part 22 can be formed with resin films, such as a polypropylene, for example. Since the cover material 1 also plays a role of protecting the document holder 2, it is formed of a relatively thick 0.4 to 1 mm film. The document holder 21 is formed of a film having a thickness of 0.18 to 0.22 mm, thereby preventing the open portion from being bent and holding the document firmly. On the other hand, the connecting portion 22 is formed of a flexible film having a thickness of 0.08 to 0.12 mm which is thinner than that. For example, the document holding part 21 can be formed of a resin film of about 0.2 mm, while the connecting part 22 can be formed of a resin film of about 0.1 mm. Thus, in this embodiment, the document holding part 21 and the connection part 22 are set to desired hardness by changing the thickness of the film.

  After the document holder 2 configured as described above is overlaid as shown in FIG. 2, the document holder 2 is fixed to the spine cover 12 by heat-sealing so as to penetrate each connecting portion 22. As shown in FIG. 3, the document holder assembled in this way has the document cover 2 folded in two at the connecting portion 22 when the cover material 1 is folded. Sandwiched between them. As shown in FIG. 1, in a state where the cover material 1 is opened, the connecting portion 22 functions as a hinge, and the document holding portion 21 can be rolled.

  The following example can be given as a manufacturing method of the document holder. That is, first, a plurality of document holding portions 21 are prepared in advance, and the connecting portion 22 formed in a strip shape is held in a jig. Then, the two document holders 21 are supplied to the jig so as to overlap each long side of the connecting portion 22, and the overlapped portion is ultrasonically fused to form the document holder 2. . Subsequently, a plurality of document holders 2 are stacked and supplied to the jig on which the cover material 1 is arranged, and the connecting portion 22 of the document holder 2 is positioned so as to be arranged on the spine cover 12 of the cover material 1. To do. Thereafter, the connecting portion 22 and the spine 12 are fixed by heat fusion.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the connecting portion 22 connected to the spine 12 is formed of a material that is more flexible than the document holding portion 21. As described above, the connecting portion 22 functions as a hinge when turning the document holding portion 21. Therefore, when the connecting portion 22 is formed of a flexible material, the two adjacent document holding portions 21 are substantially horizontal. It becomes easy to make it open, and handling becomes easy. For example, if the rigid document holding part is directly fixed to the spine, when the desired document holding part 21 is opened and the hand is released, the document holding part 21 rebounds from the spread state and returns to the original state. There is a problem that it is difficult to handle. On the other hand, if comprised like this embodiment, since a flexible connection part bends easily, the said problem can be solved. On the other hand, since the document holding part 21 is formed of a material harder than the connecting part 22, it can hold the document firmly.

  In this embodiment, since the long side 212 on the open side of the document holding unit 21 faces the outside, there is a possibility that the document stored here may fall off. Dropping can be prevented by applying the technology. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), a semicircular protrusion 24 is formed on one of the films superposed on the document holder 21, and this is replaced with the other film as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Fold over the film. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the document from dropping off by the protrusion 24. Further, when the front cover material 1 is folded, the front cover 11 and the back cover 13 are not separated from each other, for example, by fixing with a fixing means such as a string 3 (see FIG. 5), a button, a hook-and-loop fastener, etc. Can be prevented from falling off.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. For example, in the above embodiment, the closed long side 214 of the document holding unit 21 is connected to the connecting unit 22, but as shown in FIG. In 212, one of the superimposed films can be connected to the connecting portion 22. By doing so, since the open long side 212 faces the spine cover 12 side, it is possible to prevent the document from falling out of the document holding unit 21 when the cover material 1 is folded.

  The form of the document holding unit 21 may be other than the above, and is not particularly limited as long as it can hold a document.

  Further, the connection between the connecting portion 22 and the document holding portion 21 can be performed by various methods such as bonding with an adhesive other than heat fusion. The connection between the connecting portion 22 and the back cover 12 may be other than heat fusion. For example, a hole is formed in each connecting portion 22, and pins, strings, etc. that penetrate all the connecting portions 22 are connected to the back. It is also possible to fix the cover 12 and various other methods can be adopted. In addition to permanently fixing the connecting portion 22 to the cover material as in heat fusion, the document holder 2 can be detachably fixed to the cover material with a known binding tool.

  Moreover, the hardness of the connection part 22 and the document holding | maintenance part 21 can also be set by changing material besides setting with the thickness of a film. That is, even if the thickness is the same as that of the document holding part 21, the connecting part 22 can be formed of a more flexible material. Therefore, the hardness of the document holding part 21 and the connection part 22 should just be set so that the effect mentioned above can be acquired. In addition, the cover material 1 can also use hard paper etc. other than a resin material, and if the connection part 22 can be fixed, it will not specifically limit.

  In the above embodiment, the document holder 2 is formed by sandwiching the connecting portion 22 between the pair of document holders 21 and is fixed to the cover material 1. However, as shown in FIG. After the document holder 2 is formed by the portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 and a plurality of the document holding bodies 2 are overlapped, the connecting portion 22 can be fixed to the back cover 13 in the vicinity of the spine cover 12.

  Moreover, when forming the document holding | maintenance part 21 in a rectangular shape, a gusset can be provided in the short side 211 below the film. FIG. 7 shows an example of a document holding portion provided with a gusset, FIG. 7 (a) is a perspective view of the document holding portion, FIG. 7 (b) is a sectional view of the document holding portion as seen from the fore edge side, and FIG. 7 (c) is a front view of the document holding unit. As shown in the drawing, a gusset 23 having a crease at the center is provided on the short side 211 below the document holding unit 21, and functions as the bottom surface of the document holding unit 21. Thereby, the document holding part 21 can be made thick, and a large number of thick documents can be stored. The gusset 23 does not need to be provided over the entire length of the short side 211, and can be provided in a part thereof as shown in FIG. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 7C, a difference is made in the width in the short side direction of the two films on the front surface and the back surface of the document holding portion 21, and both of the long sides 212 corresponding to the fore edge are A region where the films do not overlap is formed, and the edge of the film on the back surface is exposed. That is, the width in the short side direction of the film on the front surface is smaller than the width in the short side direction of the film on the back surface. By doing so, it becomes easy to open the two films, and it becomes easy to insert a document between them.

  Next, an example of a method for producing such a document holding unit 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the film which comprises the document holding part 21 is cut out from the base material A of a film as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, four document holding portions 21 are shown, and the film constituting each document holding portion 21 is formed by connecting the films constituting the front and back surfaces with gussets (detailed illustration omitted) 23. . As described above, the films constituting the front surface and the back surface have different widths and are connected in a shifted state at the gusset portion. And the film which comprises the two document holding | maintenance part 21 is formed so that the part which has shifted | deviated may mutually be joined by the width | variety differing, and it may form a rectangle as a whole, and this rectangle aligns on the base material A Are arranged. The film which comprises the document holding part 21 is cut out from such a base material A by cut | disconnecting the continuous line shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the pair of cut out films 21 are arranged so that the edge portions are opposite to each other and one is opposite to the front and back, and the connecting portion 22 is disposed therebetween. Then, when each film 21 is folded at the gusset 23 portion, the connecting portion 22 is sandwiched between the long sides 214, and is connected by applying ultrasonic fusion X along the sandwiched portion. When a plurality of completed document holders 2 as shown in FIG. 10 are prepared and fixed to the cover material 1, the document holder is completed. In such a document holder, it is expected that a large number of documents are stored. In this case, there is a possibility that the document may fall from the holder. For example, a rubber band 3 as shown in FIG. It is preferable to provide means as in FIG.
