Abstract

A mobile binding is provided comprising holding elements or S shaped clips and formed from two sheets of cardboard, or a similar semi rigid material, which extends over the whole length of the binding and which are bonded together, except at least in the end portions of the back, the inner sheet having an opening in which one of the end legs of the S shaped element may be engaged, the other end then being engaged in the middle of a review to be bound. The improvement consists in providing said holding elements with a notch on the inner face of their portion situated opposite said opening when they are in position in the binding; it also comprises a plate which may be engaged in said opening between said two sheets of the back and which is provided with an outwardly turned flange adapted for engagement in the notches of said elements.

Description

Dans les reliures, dites reliures mobiles, qui sont destinées à maintenir assemblées une série de revues, celles-ci peuvent être maintenues en place par des éléments en S dont on engage une branche dans le pli central d'une revue, l'autre branche étant fixée au dos de la revue.In bindings, called mobile bindings, which are intended to hold a series of journals together, these can be held in place by S-shaped elements, one branch of which is engaged in the central fold of a magazine, the other branch being attached to the back of the magazine.

Certaines reliures mobiles comportant des éléments de maintien en S sont constituées de deux feuilles de carton, ou matière semi-rigide analogué, qui s'étendent sur toute la longueur de la reliure et qui sont collées l'une à l'autre, sauf au moins dans les portions d'extrémité du dos, la feuille intérieure étant munie d'une ouverture dans laquelle peut être engagée l'une des branches d'extrémité de l'élément en 2, l'autre extrémité étant ensuite engagée au milieu d'une revue à relier. De tels éléments de maintien en S sont p.e. montrés dans le document BE-A-379 495.Certain mobile binders comprising S-shaped holding elements consist of two sheets of cardboard, or similar semi-rigid material, which extend over the entire length of the binding and which are glued to each other, except at the less in the end portions of the back, the inner sheet being provided with an opening in which one of the end branches of the element at 2 can be engaged, the other end then being engaged in the middle of a journal to bind. Such S-holding elements are, for example, shown in document BE-A-379,495.

L'expérience montre que, lorsque la reliure comprend un nombre relativement important de revues, la feuille interieure du dos s'écarte de la feuille extérieure et les éléments de maintien risquent de se dégager de la reliure.Experience shows that, when the binding comprises a relatively large number of journals, the inner sheet of the back deviates from the outer sheet and the retaining elements are liable to be released from the binding.

La présente invention a pour objet une reliure mobile du type ci-dessus perfectionnée de manière à remédier à cet inconvénient.The present invention relates to a mobile binding of the above type improved so as to remedy this drawback.

La reliure selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que les éléments de maintien sont munis d'une encoche sur la face interne de leur branche centrale se trouvant en regard de l'ouverture lorsqu'ils sont en place dans la reliure, et en ce qu'elle comporte une coupelle qui peut s'engager dans l'ouverture entre les deux feuilles du dos et qui est munie d'un rebord propre à s'encastrer dans les encoches des éléments. Les éléments de maintien sont ainsi immobilisés et ne peuvent glisser intempestivement.The binding according to the invention is characterized in that the retaining elements are provided with a notch on the internal face of their central branch lying opposite the opening when they are in place in the binding, and in that that it comprises a cup which can engage in the opening between the two sheets of the back and which is provided with a clean rim to be embedded in the notches of the elements. The retaining elements are thus immobilized and cannot slip unintentionally.

Par ailleurs, lorsque le dos est cintré, la coupelle est incurvée au profil du dos et empêche le dos de s'aplatir sous l'effet du poids des revues.Furthermore, when the back is bent, the cup is curved to the profile of the back and prevents the back from flattening under the effect of the weight of magazines.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation de la reliure selon la présente invention, avec référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • La Figure 1 est une vue en perspective montrant l'une des extrémités de la reliure ouverte;
  • La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe, à plus grande échelle, d'un détail de cette reliure;
  • La Figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de maintien;
  • La Figure 4 est une vue en perspective de la coupelle;
  • La Figure 5 est une vue en perspective d'un autre élément de maintien.
An embodiment of the binding according to the present invention has been described below, by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view showing one of the ends of the open binding;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view, on a larger scale, of a detail of this binding;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a holding member;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the cup;
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of another holding element.

Telle qu'elle est représentée au dessin, la reliure mobile selon l'invention est constituée de deux feuilles 1 et 2, en carton ou matière semi- riaide analoaue. qui sont superposées et dans lesquelles sont formées des lignes de pliage 3 et 4. La feuille de carton externe 1 est revêtue d'une feuille de décoration 5 alors que la feuille interne 2 est revêtue d'une page de garde 6. Les deux feuilles 1 et 2 sont collées l'une à l'autre à l'extérieur des lignes 3 et 4, mais non dans leur partie 7 comprise entre ces lignes, qui a été cintrée à chaud et destinée à constituer le dos de la reliure. La page de garde 6 s'étend sur toute la largeur de la reliure et la feuille décorative 5 comporte des replis qui recouvrent les tranches des feuilles 1 et 2.As shown in the drawing, the movable binding according to the invention consists of two sheets 1 and 2, of cardboard or semi-analoid material. which are superimposed and in which fold lines 3 and 4 are formed. The outer cardboard sheet 1 is coated with a decoration sheet 5 while the inner sheet 2 is coated with a cover page 6. The two sheets 1 and 2 are bonded to each other outside of lines 3 and 4, but not in their part 7 between these lines, which has been hot bent and intended to constitute the back of the binding. The cover page 6 extends over the entire width of the binding and the decorative sheet 5 comprises folds which cover the edges of the sheets 1 and 2.

Une ouverture 8 sensiblement rectangulaire est ménagée dans la feuille de carton 2 et dans la page de garde 6 qui la recouvre, au voisinage de chacune des extrémités de la partie 7.A substantially rectangular opening 8 is formed in the cardboard sheet 2 and in the cover page 6 which covers it, in the vicinity of each of the ends of the part 7.

La reliure est associée à des éléments de maintien ou agrafes qui peuvent être engagés dans les ouvertures 8.The binding is associated with retaining elements or staples which can be engaged in the openings 8.

Dans le mode de réalisation des Figures 2 et 3, chaque agrafe 9 est en matière plastique moulée. Elle est approximativement en forme de S. L'une 9a de ses branches extérieures est relativement mince et disposée dans le plan de l'agrafe. Son autre branche extéxieure 9b est également relativement mince; mais elle est disposée dans un plan perpendiculaire à celui de l'agrafe, comme on le voit à la Figure 3. Sa branche centrale 9c se prolonge par un becquet 9d, au-delà de l'endroit 9e où elle se raccorde à la branche 9b. Les extrémités de la branche 9a et du becquet 9d sont effilées; la branche 9b présente une section longitudinale biseautée. Une encoche 9f est prévue sur la face interne de la branche centrale 9c, au-dessus de l'endroit 9e. Chaque ouverture 8 a une hauteur un peu supérieure à celle de la partie 9e de l'agrafe.In the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3, each clip 9 is made of molded plastic. It is approximately S-shaped. One 9a of its outer branches is relatively thin and arranged in the plane of the clip. Its other external branch 9b is also relatively thin; but it is arranged in a plane perpendicular to that of the clip, as seen in Figure 3. Its central branch 9c is extended by a spoiler 9d, beyond the place 9e where it is connected to the branch 9b. The ends of the branch 9a and of the spoiler 9d are tapered; the branch 9b has a beveled longitudinal section. A notch 9f is provided on the internal face of the central branch 9c, above the location 9e. Each opening 8 has a height slightly greater than that of the part 9e of the clip.

Il est par ailleurs prévu deux coupelles 10 dont la largeur est sensiblement celle du dos et a même cambrure que celui-ci. Chacune est munie à sa base d'un rebord 10a pouvant s'engager dans l'encoche 9f d'une agrafe 9. Ces coupelles 10 sont préalablement engagées respectivement dans l'ouverture 8 supérieure et dans l'ouverture 8 inférieure, entre les deux feuilles 1 et 2, jusqu'à ce que leur rebord 10a se trouve pratiquement au contact du bord de l'ouverture 8 la plus éloignée du milieu de la reliure.There are also provided two cups 10 whose width is substantially that of the back and has the same camber as the latter. Each is provided at its base with a rim 10a which can engage in the notch 9f with a clip 9. These cups 10 are previously engaged respectively in the upper opening 8 and in the lower opening 8, between the two sheets 1 and 2, until their rim 10a is practically in contact with the edge of the opening 8 furthest from the middle of the binding.

Pour mettre en place une agrafe 9, il suffit d'engager sa branche 9b à travers l'une des ouvertures 8, par exemple l'ouverture 8 supérieure, entre les deux feuilles 1 et 2, jusqu'à ce que le rebord 10a de la coupelle s'engage dans son encoche 9f (voir Figure 2).To set up a staple 9, it suffices to engage its branch 9b through one of the openings 8, for example the upper opening 8, between the two sheets 1 and 2, until the rim 10a of the cup engages in its notch 9f (see Figure 2).

Pour fixer une revue 11 dans la reli-tre, on met en place une agrafe 9 dans chacune des ouvertures 8 et on engage les branches 9a des deux agrafes au milieu de la revue 11. Les branches 9aqui sont minces et disposées dans le plan de la revue n'augmentent que de très peu l'épaisseur de cette revue.To fix a magazine 11 in the binding, a staple 9 is placed in each of the openings 8 and the branches 9a of the two staples are engaged in the middle of the magazine 11. The branches 9aqui are thin and arranged in the plane of the magazine only slightly increase the thickness of this magazine.

Les agrafes 9 étant accrochées aux coupelles 10 ne peuvent se dégager des ouvertures 8. Par ailleurs, ces coupelles conservent au dos 7 sa fnrme cintrée. Dans le mode de réalisation de la Figure 5, l'agrafe 12 est constituée par un fil ou une tige métallique pliée en S, ses branches 12a et 12b étant destinées à être insérées respectivement au milieu d'une revue 11 et entre les deux feuilles 1 et 2 de la reliure. Sa branche centrale 12c comporte, à une faible distance de son raccordement avec la branche 12b, un double repli 12d formant une encoche tournée vers la branche 12b.The clips 9 being attached to the cups 10 can not be released from the openings 8. Furthermore, these cups retain the back 7 its curved shape. In the embodiment of Figure 5, the clip 12 is constituted by a wire or a metal rod bent in S, its branches 12a and 12b being intended to be inserted respectively in the middle of a magazine 11 and between the two sheets 1 and 2 of the binding. Its central branch 12c comprises, at a short distance from its connection with the branch 12b, a double fold 12d forming a notch facing the branch 12b.

Cette agrafe s'utilise comme l'agrafe 9. Lors de la mise en place de la branche 12b entre les deux feuilles 1 et 2, elle est verrouillée en position par l'engagement du repli 1 Oa de la coupelle 10 dans son double repli 12d.This clip is used like the clip 9. When the branch 12b is placed between the two sheets 1 and 2, it is locked in position by engaging the fold 1 O a of the cup 10 in its double withdrawal 12d.
