Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme à levier ou organe similaire pour classeur à anneaux et tout classeur qui en est équipé.The present invention relates to a lever mechanism or similar member for ring binder and any binder equipped therewith.
Il est courant d'utiliser des classeurs à anneaux pour rassembler des documents comptables ou autres, préperforés à l'écartement des anneaux. Ces classeurs à anneaux sont généralement équipés d'un mécanisme à levier ou organe similaire permettant d'ouvrir ou fermer les anneaux et comprenant une embase supportant les anneaux et leur organe de commande d'ouverture et de fermeture tel que levier ou similaire et une platine destinée à être fixée, par rivets, oeillets, colle ou autre similaire, sur le plat ou le dos d'un classeur, des moyens étant prévus pour assurer la fixation de l'embase à la platine.It is common to use ring binders to collect accounting or other documents, pre-punched for the spacing of the rings. These ring binders are generally equipped with a lever mechanism or similar member making it possible to open or close the rings and comprising a base supporting the rings and their opening and closing control member such as a lever or the like and a plate. intended to be fixed, by rivets, eyelets, glue or the like, on the flat or the back of a filing cabinet, means being provided for fixing the base to the plate.
Dans les mécanismes connus de ce type, la fixation de l'embase à la platine est réalisée de manière inamovible, telle que par sertissage. Aussi, lorsque le moment est venu d'archiver ces documents, on peut soit les laisser dans leur classeur et remplacer ce dernier par un classeur neuf ce qui, compte tenu de son prix, occasionne des frais élevés, soit retirer les documents du classeur pour le remettre en service. Il faut alors disposer d'un autre moyen de rangement pour les documents à archiver en évitant d'en modifier l'ordonnancement. Par les manipulations qu'elle impose, cette seconde option entraîne aussi des frais non négligeables.In known mechanisms of this type, the fixing of the base to the plate is performed in a non-removable manner, such as by crimping. Also, when the time is right to archive these documents, you can either leave them in their filing cabinet and replace it with a new filing cabinet which, taking into account its price, incurs high costs, or remove the documents from the filing cabinet for put it back into service. It is then necessary to have another means of storage for the documents to be archived while avoiding to modify their scheduling. By the manipulations it requires, this second option also involves significant costs.
La présente invention vise à remédier à tous ces inconvénients. A cet effet, dans le mécanisme qu'elle concerne et qui est du type précité, d'une part, les moyens de fixation de l'embase à la platine sont agencés de manière à rendre cette fixation amovible et, d'autre part, des moyens de blocage escamotables sont prévus pour rendre, à volonté, cette fixation inamovible.The present invention aims to remedy all these drawbacks. To this end, in the mechanism which it concerns and which is of the aforementioned type, on the one hand, the means for fixing the base to the plate are arranged so as to make this fixing removable and, on the other hand, retractable locking means are provided to make this fixed attachment at will.
Suivant une forme d'exécution simple de l'invention, les moyens de fixation de l'embase à la platine sont constitués par un assemblage du type à glissières, la platine étant, par exemple, conformée en glissière de section transversale complémentaire de celle de l'embase. De préférence, cette glissière possède à l'une de ses extrémités, une butée pour l'embase.According to a simple embodiment of the invention, the means for fixing the base to the plate consist of an assembly of the slide type, the plate being, for example, shaped as a slide of cross section complementary to that of the base. Preferably, this slide has at one of its ends, a stop for the base.
Les moyens escamotables de blocage peuvent être réalisés de nombreuses manières différentes telles que, par exemple, par encliquetage élastique ou patte rabattable entre les anneaux.The retractable blocking means can be produced in many different ways such as, for example, by elastic snap or folding tab between the rings.
Le mécanisme selon l'invention présente donc l'avantage de faci liter considérablement les opérations d'archivage en en réduisant notablement le coût, tout en éliminant tout risque de mélange des documents. En effet, il suffit de détacher de sa platine l'embase du mécanisme à anneaux et de classer les documents ainsi libérés de leur classeur, sans les sortir des anneaux, le classeur pouvant être réutilisé avec une nouvelle embase support d'anneaux.The mechanism according to the invention therefore has the advantage of easily considerably archive archiving operations by significantly reducing the cost, while eliminating any risk of documents being mixed. In fact, it suffices to detach the base of the ring mechanism from its plate and to classify the documents thus released from their file, without removing them from the rings, the file being able to be reused with a new ring support base.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce mécanisme :
- Figure 1 en est une vue perspective éclatée ;
- Figure 2 en est une vue en coupe transversale après montage sur le plat d'un classeur ;
- Figure 3 est une vue en plan par dessus de l'objet de figure 2.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view;
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view after mounting on the flat of a filing cabinet;
- Figure 3 is a plan view from above of the object of Figure 2.
Comme le montre le dessin, le mécanisme selon l'invention est du type comprenant une embase 2 de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, supportant deux anneaux ouvrants 3 et leur organe de commande d'ouverture et de fermeture qui, dans cet exemple, est constitué par un levier 4, et une platine 5 destinée à être fixée par rivets ou oeillets 6 sur le plat 7 ou le dos d'un classeur à anneaux.As shown in the drawing, the mechanism according to the invention is of the type comprising a
Selon l'invention, l'embase 2 est fixée à la platine 5 de manière amovible, c'est-à-dire de manière à permettre l'assemblage et le désassemblage de ces deux pièces à volonté.According to the invention, the
Dans l'exemple illustré sur le dessin, les moyens de fixation amovible de l'embase 2 à la platine 5 sont du type à glissière. A cet effet, le long de chacun de ses bords longitudinaux, la platine 5 présente deux pattes 8 recourbées en direction l'une de lautre au-dessus de la face supérieure de la platine 5 de manière à former deux gorges en regard l'une de l'autre et dont les fonds sont espacés l'un de l'autre d'une distance sensiblement égale à la largeur de l'embase 2. Il est ainsi possible d'assembler l'embase 2 à la platine 5 par engagement de ses bords longitudinaux, comme dans une glissière, dans les gorges formées par les pattes 8.In the example illustrated in the drawing, the removable fixing means of the
Pour faciliter l'obtention d'un assemblage correctement positionné de l'embase 2 à la platine 5, cette dernière présente avantageusement une butée d'arrêt formée par une patte 9 située le long de l'un de ses bords transversaux et repliée à 90° de manière à faire saillie au-dessus de sa face supérieure.To facilitate obtaining a correctly positioned assembly of the
De cette manière, l'assemblage correct de l'embase 2 à la platine 5 par engagement de la première entre les pattes 8 de la seconde, dans le sens de la flèche 11, jusqu'à ce que le bord transversal de l'embase 2 engagé le premier soit en butée contre la patte 9 de la platine 5.In this way, the correct assembly of the
Pour éliminer tout risque de désassemblage intempestif de l'embase 2 et de la platine 5 par glissement de la première par rapport à la seconde dans le sens opposé à celui de la flèche 11, il est prévu un moyen de blocage de l'embase 2 sur la platine 5 après assemblage correct.To eliminate any risk of inadvertent disassembly of the
Dans l'exemple illustré sur le dessin ce moyen de blocage est constitué par une patte articulée 12 fixée par l'un de ses bords au plat 7 du classeur destiné à recevoir le mécanisme de l'invention et de manière que ce bord soit contigü à l'une des pattes recourbées 8 de la patine 5 et centrée par rapport à cette dernière. En outre, la largeur de cette patte articulée 12 est égale à l'intervalle séparant les deux anneaux 3 du mécanisme, de telle sorte qu'elle peut être rabattue entre les deux anneaux 3 après assemblage de l'embase 2 à la platine 5, comme illustré en traits pleins sur les figures 2 et 3. Dans cette position de la patte 12, l'embase 2 se trouve parfaitement immobilisée sur la platine 5.In the example illustrated in the drawing, this locking means is constituted by an articulated
Pour désassembler l'embase 2 de la platine 5, il suffit de faire pivoter la patte 12 en la faisant pivoter dans la position illustrée en traits mixtes sur la figure 2 pour autoriser un déplacement de l'embase 2 par rapport à la platine 5 dans le sens opposé à celui de la flèche 11.To disassemble the
Les figures du dessin montrent une forme d'exécution et d'assemblage relativement simple de la patte articulée 12. En effet, dans cet exemple, la patte articulée 12 est aménagée le long de l'un des bords longitudinaux d'une plaque rectangulaire 12a ayant sensiblement la même dimension que la platine 5 et qui est prise en sandwich entre cette dernière et le plat 7 du classeur auquel elle est assemblée. Cette patte 12 et la plaque 12a dont elle est solidaire peuvent être réalisées avantageusement en une matière plastique apte à former des charnières, permettant des pliages et dépliages répétés, telle que le polyéthylène.The figures of the drawing show a relatively simple embodiment and assembly of the articulated
Par ailleurs, l'embase 2 et la platine 5 du mécanisme sont réalisées en métal, comme les mécanismes actuellement connus.Furthermore, the
