Definitions
- the present invention relates to a document holder, particularly a holder for documents provided with holes to be collected by a multi-ring mechanism.
- Multi-ring document holder are very much used in office operation. They may be of many different shapes according to the main use and to the fantasy of the designer.
- a particular use is that of providing a safe transport case for documents (e.g. slides or transparencies), which case might also be useful for storing the documents in a conventional suspension filing system.
- documents e.g. slides or transparencies
- the case should be enough small to be housed in a bag, as light as possible not to add undue weight to be carried, enough strong and protective to effectively protect documents which are rather delicate (such as transparencies) during transportation, and as easy as possible to operate.
- the holder should also be of easy and simple manufacture, in order to be sold at a reasonable price.
- the holder should be capable of being suspended in a conventional filing system.
- the present invention relates to a document holder, comprising:
- This document holder is of particularly simple manufacture, due to the one-piece closure frame. Strength of the holder is ensured both by the cover structure and by the closure frame. Once open, the holder allows very easy access to the documents, thanks to the fact that the two covers are hinged each other.
- the closure frame comprises:
- Locking of the two frame elements can be easily achieved by moving the second frame element toward the first one, thus causing snap engagement of the hook in the opening. Disengagement can be equally easily achieved by acting onto the push means, thus shifting the hook out of the opening.
- the second frame element comprises a cut, extending in both the second rigid main wall and in the second transverse wall; in the second transverse wall, the cut defines the opening; in the second rigid main wall, the cut extends along a line closed at opposite ends of a bending segment; the bending segment is parallel to the second transverse wall and at a distance therefrom; the push means comprises portions of the second rigid main wall and of the second transverse wall surrounded by the cut and is flexible around the bending segment.
- the cover structure is provided with a pair of retractable suspenders, to suspend the document holder to rails of a suspension filing system.
- the suspenders are placed close to the multi-ring mechanism, to have the single documents suspended from their holes and not resting thereon, while the holder is suspended.
- a document holder 1 comprises a cover structure 2, a multi ring mechanism 3 and a closure frame 4.
- the cover structure 2 includes two covers, a first cover 5 and a second cover 6, hinged together by means of a back 7.
- the two covers 5 and 6 and the back 7 are conventionally made with three sections of stiff cardboard lined by a same deformable plastic sheeting. Hinging is ensured by the flexibility of the plastic sheeting between the cardboard sections.
- the covers 5 and/or 6 may be provided with a pocket 8, suitable to insert some sheets of papers.
- the multi-ring mechanism 3 may have any suitable number of rings placed at any distance one from the others, and any suitable opening-locking operation, according to the different standards.
- a four-ring mechanism is shown, of the type in which opening and closing are effected by acting directly on the rings. Details of the ring mechanism 3 are neither shown nor described, since the mechanism is per se known.
- the multi-ring mechanism 3 is fixed (by rivets or the like) to the back 7 of the cover structure 2.
- the mechanism 3 could be fixed to one of the covers 5 or 6, either close to the back 7 or remote from it.
- the closure frame 4 is an elongate, one-piece, plastic structure fixed to the first cover 5 and capable of catching the second cover 6.
- the closure frame 4 comprises two frame elements, a first frame element 9 and a second frame element 10, which are hinged together along a flexible weakening region 11 formed between them in the one-piece structure of the closure frame 4.
- the first frame element 9 comprises a first rigid main wall 12, extending in the same direction as the first cover 5 and secured thereto by any suitable means (rivets, hot welding, gluing), and a first transverse wall 13 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first rigid main wall 12.
- the wall 13 is elastically bendable, at least partially (in a central portion 13a in the example shown), and is provided with a hook means, which includes a pair of hooks 14 in the shown example.
- the second frame element 10 comprises a second rigid main wall 15, extending in a direction parallel to the first rigid main wall 12 when the closure frame 4 is in closed condition (figures 1, 4 and 7), and a second transverse wall 16 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second rigid main wall 15.
- the wall 15 includes an edge portion 15a, which constitutes a catch means to catch the second cover 6.
- the wall 16 is provided with a latch means, which includes an opening 17 in the shown example.
- the second frame element 10 comprises a cut 18, extending both in the second rigid main wall 15 and in the second transverse wall 16.
- the cut 18 defines the opening 17 and a portion 16a of the second transverse wall 16 inside such opening.
- the cut 18 is drawn along a line which has substantially a hammer shape and ends - at the base of the hammer - at opposite ends of a bending segment 19, which is parallel to the second transverse wall 16, at a distance therefrom.
- the cut 18 thus defines or surrounds a button portion 20 of the second rigid main wall 15.
- the button portion 20 of the second rigid main wall 15 and the portion 16a of the second transverse wall 16 constitutes a push means which - as will be explained below - is intended to disengage the hooks 14 from the opening 17, flexing about the bending segment 19.
- All the parts (numbered 9 to 20, including 13a, 15a and 16a) of the closure frame 4 are made out of a one-piece body of plastic material.
- the document holder 1 can be provided with a pair of retractable suspenders 21, to suspend the document holder 1 to rails of a conventional suspension filing system (not shown).
- the suspenders 21 are fixed to the cover structure 2, preferably close to the multi-ring mechanism 3, to have the single documents suspended from their holes and not resting thereon, while the document holder 1 is suspended.
- two housings 22 may be provided inside the closure frame 4, adjacent to the transverse walls 13 and 16. These housings 22 can protect a couple of pens or board pointers P.
- the two retractable suspenders 21 can be extracted to suspend the document holder 1 to a pair of conventional rails (figure 7).
- the second frame element 10 of the closure frame 4 can be tilted with respect to the first frame element 9, thus releasing the second cover 6 (figures 3 and 6).
- the cover structure 2 can thus be opened completely (figure 2), allowing an easy access to the documents inside.
- the same operations in an inverse order can be performed to close the document holder.
- the second cover 6 is bent over the first cover 5, then the second frame element 10 is tilted toward the first frame element 9 and pressed against it: the hooks 14 snap engage into the opening 17, thus retaining the closure frame 4 in closed condition.
