Abstract

A device is disclosed for packaging binding elements (3) for loose-leaf systems. A carrier plate (1) with several rows (2) of elastic flexible retaining strips at least partially surrounds the cut to size binding elements.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, die ringförmige oder spiralförmige Bindekämme für das Binden von Lose-Blatt-Systemen, insbesondere von Jahreskalendern, Notizbüchern, Terminplanern, Katalogen oder Werbepapieren verpackt.The invention relates to a device which packs ring-shaped or spiral-shaped binding combs for binding loose-leaf systems, in particular annual calendars, notebooks, diaries, catalogs or advertising papers.

Mit derartigen Bindekämmen, die auch als Bindeelemente bezeichnet werden können, können beispielsweise die genannten Lose-Blatt-Systeme zusammengefaßt werden.With such binding combs, which can also be referred to as binding elements, the loose leaf systems mentioned can be summarized, for example.

Die Bindekämme sind ringförmig oder spiralartig geformt und in der Regel aus Draht gefertigt. Der Draht kann aus Kunststoff oder aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, der gegebenenfalls mit einer Kunststoffummantelung versehen sein kann, bestehen.The binding combs are ring-shaped or spiral-shaped and are usually made of wire. The wire can consist of plastic or of a metallic material, which can optionally be provided with a plastic sheath.

Bisher wurden die vorgefertigten, d.h. die zumeist aus vielen Schlaufen und Windungen bestehenden, spiralartig geformten und in ihrer Längsrichtung noch offenen ring- oder ovalförmigen Bindekämme als Endlosmaterial auf Rollen gewickelt, transportiert und gelagert. Bei Bedarf entsprechend des Formates der zu bindenden Lose-Blatt-Systeme wurden sie dann erst auf Maß geschnitten.So far, the prefabricated, i.e. the ring-shaped or oval-shaped binding combs, consisting mostly of many loops and turns, spiral-shaped and still open in the longitudinal direction, wound, transported and stored as continuous material on rolls. If necessary, they were only cut to size according to the format of the loose-leaf systems to be bound.

Als Nachteil hierbei ist u.a. das relativ hohe Gewicht der zu transportierenden Rollen anzusehen. Aufgrund der recht großen Menge an Bindekämmen eignen sich die beschriebenen Rollen nur für Großverbraucher, nicht jedoch für einen gelegentlichen Gebrauch bzw. für Anwender, die nur geringe Mengen der beschriebenen Bindekämme benötigen.A disadvantage here is the relatively high weight of the rollers to be transported. Due to the quite large amount of binding combs, the roles described are only suitable for large consumers, but not for occasional use or for users who only use small amounts of the described combs need.

Da die Lose-Blatt-Systeme sehr unterschiedliche Formate und Teilungen aufweisen und damit auch unterschiedliche Längen der Bindekämme benötigt werden, muß auch das jeweils zu schneidende Maß immer wieder neu abgemessen werden.Since the loose leaf systems have very different formats and divisions and therefore different lengths of binding combs are required, the dimension to be cut must also be measured again and again.

Aus diesem Grunde wurden bereits auf Maß geschnittene kleinere Mengen von Bindekämmen in sogenannten Blisterverpackungen angeboten.For this reason, small quantities of binding combs cut to size were already offered in so-called blister packs.

Blisterverpackungen tragen jedoch aufgrund des aus einem Kunststoff bestehenden Blisters einem modernen Umweltbewußtsein nicht ausreichend Rechnung, außerdem sind sowohl Herstell- als auch Entsorgungskosten für den Blister relativ hoch.However, blister packs do not sufficiently take modern environmental awareness into account due to the blister consisting of a plastic, and both the manufacturing and disposal costs for the blister are relatively high.

Aus der US-A-1 356 588 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Präsentieren von Textilien wie Querbindern bekannt.From US-A-1 356 588 a device for presenting textiles such as bow ties is known.

Hierbei ist die Vorrichtung mehrteilig ausgeführt und die Querbinder werden in eine Vertiefung in der Vorrichtung eingesetzt, wobei vier elastisch verformbare Haltelaschen vorgespannt werden und die Haltelaschen jeden Querbinder an dessen Außenseiten festklemmen, so daß der Querbinder in der Vorrichtung festgehalten ist.Here, the device is made in several parts and the cross ties are inserted into a recess in the device, four elastically deformable holding straps being pretensioned and the holding straps clamping each cross tie on the outer sides thereof, so that the cross tie is held in the device.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die aus einem umweltfreundlichen Werkstoff besteht, ohne großen Aufwand herstellbar ist und die auf einfache Weise eine sichere und leichte Verpackung für bereits auf Maß geschnittene Bindekämme ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which consists of an environmentally friendly material, is easy to manufacture and which is a safe and easy packaging for binding combs already cut to size.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Trägerplatte, die mehrere Reihen elastisch aufbiegbarer Haltelaschen aufweist, welche die auf Maß geschnittenen Bindekämme teilweise in ihrem Basisbereich umfassen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a carrier plate which has a plurality of rows of elastically bendable holding tabs, which partially cover the binding combs cut to size in their base region.

Dadurch ist eine einfache und sichere Verpackung bzw. eine stabile Unterlage für die Bindekämme geschaffen. Auf die Trägerplatte können die bereits auf Maß geschnittenen und damit an die Formate der Lose-Blatt-Systeme angepaßten Bindekämme sortiert aufgebracht werden.This creates simple and safe packaging or a stable base for the binding combs. The binding combs which have already been cut to size and thus adapted to the formats of the loose-leaf systems can be applied in a sorted manner to the carrier plate.

Die Bindekamme können, da sie nur teilweise von den Haltelaschen umfaßt sind, für das Binden der LoseBlatt-Systeme leicht und schnell auch von Hand entnommen werden. Die Trägerplatten mit den bestückten Bindekämmen sind des weiteren gut stapelbar und lassen sich in idealer Weise in passenden Behältnissen lagern und transportieren.The binding combs, because they are only partially covered by the retaining tabs, can be easily and quickly removed by hand for binding the loose leaf systems. The carrier plates with the equipped binding combs are also easy to stack and can be ideally stored and transported in suitable containers.

Sind die Behältnisse beispielsweise mit den entsprechenden Formatangaben gekennzeichnet, ist ein rascher Zugriff für den nachfolgenden Bindevorgang gewährleistet.If the containers are marked with the appropriate format information, for example, quick access is guaranteed for the subsequent binding process.

Unter einem Umfassen der Bindekamme in deren Basisbereich ist zu verstehen, daß jede gehaltene Windung oder jede gehaltene Schlaufe der ringförmig oder spiralartig geformten Bindekämme am gleichen Bereich in den Haltelaschen gehaltert ist. Bei einem Bindekamm mit einem, im Querschnitt gesehenen, beispielsweise oben offenen Oval, ist der Basisbereich jene Breitseite, die der offenen Stelle gegenüberliegt. Vor allem mit dieser Form ist es möglich, die Bindekämme so auf der Trägerplatte zu fixieren, daß Verwerfungen, Verdrehungen, Formveränderungen oder ein rasches Herausrutschen vermieden werden können. Außerdem kann das Übereinanderstapeln von mit Bindekämmen bestückten Trägerplatten sehr gleichmäßig und eben erfolgen.Enclosing the binding comb in its base region is to be understood to mean that each turn or loop held in the ring-shaped or spiral-shaped binding comb is held in the same area in the holding tabs. In the case of a binding comb with a cross section, for example Oval open at the top, the base area is the broadside opposite the open area. With this shape in particular, it is possible to fix the binding combs on the carrier plate in such a way that warping, twisting, changes in shape or rapid slipping out can be avoided. In addition, the stacking of carrier plates equipped with binding combs can be carried out very evenly and evenly.

Eine sehr vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung kann darin bestehen, daß die elastisch aufbiegbaren Haltelaschen H-förmig gestaltet sind.A very advantageous embodiment of the invention can be that the elastically bendable retaining tabs are H-shaped.

Die "H"-Form hat sich bei Versuchen als die zweckmäßigste erwiesen.The "H" shape has been found to be the most convenient in experiments.

Zu deren Herstellung ist am effektivsten das Stanzverfahren anwendbar.The punching method is most effective for their manufacture.

Dabei ist es am einfachsten, wenn die Haltelaschen direkt in die Trägerplatte gearbeitet werden. Oberhalb und unterhalb des bei dieser "H"-Form bestehenden Quersteges entstehen rechteckige Laschen, mit denen sich somit am geeignetsten ein elastisches Verhalten erzeugen läßt. Dieses Verhalten ist notwendig für das Aufbiegen dieser Laschen zum Zwecke des Einbringens der Bindekämme und deren Zurückfedern nach der Bestückung zum Zwecke der Halterung der Bindekämme.It is easiest if the retaining tabs are worked directly into the carrier plate. Rectangular tabs are created above and below the crossbar existing in this "H" shape, which can thus most suitably produce elastic behavior. This behavior is necessary for the bending of these tabs for the purpose of inserting the binding combs and their springing back after the loading for the purpose of holding the binding combs.

Die Erfindung kann weiterhin positiv ausgestaltet werden, wenn die Abstände zwischen den Reihen der Haltelaschen sowie die Abstände bzw. Teilungen zwischen den einzelnen Haltelaschen innerhalb der Reihen in Abhängigkeit von der Größe und Packungsdichte der Bindekämme variierbar sind.The invention can also be designed positively if the distances between the rows of the holding tabs and the distances or divisions between the individual holding tabs within the rows are dependent on the size and packing density of the binding combs are variable.

Damit ist es möglich, in gleicher Größe formatierte Trägerplatten für unterschiedliche Größen (Durchmesser) von Bindekämmen zu verwenden.This makes it possible to use carrier plates formatted in the same size for different sizes (diameters) of binding combs.

Dadurch können in einem einzigen Behältnis sowohl Trägerplatten mit großen Bindekämmen als auch Trägerplatten mit geringeren Größen und dafür größerer Packungsdichte verpackt, gelagert und transportiert werden.As a result, both carrier plates with large binding combs and carrier plates with smaller sizes and therefore greater packing density can be packaged, stored and transported in a single container.

Von Vorteil ist es auch, wenn die Reihen der Haltelaschen parallel zueinander angeordnet sind.It is also advantageous if the rows of the retaining tabs are arranged parallel to one another.

Dadurch können sich die Bindekämme gegenseitig bei der Bestückung nicht behindern. Außerdem kann die vorhandene Fläche der Trägerplatte zur Bestückung mit Bindekämmen bestmöglich ausgenutzt werden.As a result, the binding combs cannot interfere with each other when loading. In addition, the available surface of the carrier plate can be used as best as possible for equipping with binding combs.

Bei der Bestückung mit Bindekämmen, die sowohl mit manuell betätigten als auch automatischen Maschinen erfolgen kann, wirken von oben her Eindrückstempel auf eine Reihe der Haltelaschen und biegen die Laschen, wie bereits erwähnt, nach unten auf, sodaß die von unten in einer Haltevorrichtung zugeführten Bindekämme in die so geschaffene Öffnung teilweise einschnappen. Aufgrund der bereits erwähnten Elastizität der Haltelaschen sind die Bindekämme ausreichend gehalten und für das Binden der Lose-Blatt-Systeme leicht wieder entnehmbar.When equipping with binding combs, which can be done both with manually operated and automatic machines, stamps act on a row of the holding tabs from above and, as already mentioned, bend the tabs downward, so that the binding combs fed in from below in a holding device partially snap into the opening created in this way. Due to the elasticity of the retaining tabs already mentioned, the binding combs are adequately held and can easily be removed again for binding the loose leaf systems.

In den folgenden Arbeitstakten können die gleichen Stempel auf die nächsten in vorteilhafter Weise parallel angeordneten Reihen der Haltelaschen ebenso einwirken. Die Zuführung der Trägerplatten kann dabei auf verschiedene Weise, z.B. über ein Transportband oder mittels Rollen oder Walzen, erfolgen.In the following work cycles, the same punches can also act on the next rows of the retaining tabs, which are advantageously arranged in parallel. The carrier plates can be supplied in various ways, for example via a conveyor belt or by means of rollers or rollers.

Es ist sehr zweckmäßig, wenn dazu ein Transportrand auf der Trägerplatte vorgesehen ist. Die Reihen der Haltelaschen sollten derart auf der Trägerplatte angeordnet sein, daß beidseitig rechtwinklig zu diesen Reihen der Transportrand verbleibt.It is very useful if a transport edge is provided on the carrier plate. The rows of retaining tabs should be arranged on the carrier plate in such a way that the transport edge remains at right angles to these rows.

Es ist ferner sehr zweckmäßig, den Transportrand an seinen Außenkanten jeweils mit einer rechteckigen Aussparung zu versehen, damit die Transportmittel, wie Rollen oder Walzen, ungehindert die Trägerplatte bewegen können.It is also very expedient to provide the transport edge with a rectangular recess on its outer edges so that the transport means, such as rollers or rollers, can move the carrier plate unhindered.

Es ist außerdem sehr vorteilhaft, in wenigstens einem dieser Transportränder Positionieröffnungen vorzusehen, welche den Reihen der Haltelaschen, mit diesen in einer Flucht verlaufend, direkt zugeordnet sind.It is also very advantageous to provide positioning openings in at least one of these transport edges, which are directly assigned to the rows of the retaining tabs, which run in alignment with them.

Die Positionieröffnungen können beliebig geformt sein. Bei einer Positionierung der Trägerplatte mittels einer Lichtschranke ist eine quadratische oder rechteckige Form der Positionieröffnungen von Vorteil. Soll die Trägerplatte auf andere Art und Weise positioniert werden, können auch Rundlöcher oder andersartig geformte Öffnungen Verwendung finden.The positioning openings can have any shape. When positioning the carrier plate by means of a light barrier, a square or rectangular shape of the positioning openings is advantageous. If the support plate is to be positioned in a different way, round holes or other shaped openings can also be used.

Diese Positionieröffnungen bilden eine sogenannte Referenzreihe, wodurch die Trägerplatte keine unerwünschte Lageabweichung erfährt und dadurch bei der Bestückung mit Bindekämmen Fehler vermieden werden können.These positioning openings form a so-called reference row, as a result of which the carrier plate does not experience any undesired positional deviation, and errors can thereby be avoided when fitting with binding combs.

Für die Verbesserung der Steifigkeit bzw. für eine Vergrößerung des Widerstandsmomentes der Trägerplatte ist es sehr von Vorteil, wenn die Trägerplatte seitliche, parallel zu den Reihen der Haltelaschen angeordnete Falzränder aufweist.To improve the rigidity or to increase the section modulus of the carrier plate, it is very advantageous if the carrier plate has lateral fold edges arranged parallel to the rows of the retaining tabs.

Die Falzränder sollten ungefähr rechtwinklig nach der Bestückungsseite hin abgewinkelt sein. Dadurch ist es möglich, sehr dünnes Material für die Trägerplatte zu verwenden, was sich sehr günstig auf das Gewicht, die Stapelbarkeit, den Materialverbrauch und die Bearbeitbarkeit, wie z.B. jene der Einschneidung von Haltelaschen, auswirkt.The fold edges should be angled approximately at right angles to the component side. This makes it possible to use very thin material for the carrier plate, which is very favorable in terms of weight, stackability, material consumption and workability, e.g. that of the incision of retaining tabs.

Selbstverständlich kann der Falzrand auch auf allen vier Seiten der Trägerplatte vorgesehen sein, damit die Trägerplatte eine möglichst hohe Steifigkeit aufweist. Hierbei ist dann allerdings zu beachten, daß entsprechend geeignete Vorrichtungen zum Transport der Trägerplatte vorzusehen sind.Of course, the folded edge can also be provided on all four sides of the carrier plate so that the carrier plate has the highest possible rigidity. In this case, however, it should be noted that suitable devices for transporting the carrier plate must be provided.

Die Trägerplatte kann aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen wie Metall, Kunststoff oder Karton (Papier) bestehen. Aus Umweltschutzgründen erscheint am geeignetsten Karton als gut recyclingfähiges Material.The carrier plate can consist of various materials such as metal, plastic or cardboard (paper). For environmental reasons, cardboard appears to be the most suitable as a recyclable material.

In vorteilhafter Weise kann der Transportrand parallel zu den Falzrändern verlaufen.The transport edge can advantageously run parallel to the fold edges.

Auch hierdurch kann eine exakte Positionierung der Trägerplatte zum Bestücken mit den einzelnen Bindekämmen gewährleistet werden. In diesem Fall kann die genaue Positionierung ebenfalls durch Lichtschranken kontrolliert werden.This also ensures an exact positioning of the carrier plate for loading with the individual binding combs. In this case, the exact positioning can also be done by light barriers to be controlled.

Eine sehr gute Stapelbarkeit der einzelnen Trägerplatten mit den darauf angeordneten Bindekämmen kann dadurch gewährleistet werden, daß die Falzränder wenigstens annähernd so hoch sind wie die Höhe der Bindekämme.A very good stackability of the individual carrier plates with the binding combs arranged thereon can be ensured in that the fold edges are at least approximately as high as the height of the binding combs.

Die einzelnen Trägerplatten können somit jeweils immer mit ihrer Unterseite auf den nach oben umgebogenen Falzrändern der darunterliegenden Trägerplatte abgestellt werden. Hierdurch wird vermieden, daß eine sich in einem Stapel von Trägerplatten ganz unten befindliche Trägerplatte bzw. die auf dieser Trägerplatte angeordneten Bindekämme, dadurch Schaden erleidet, daß die Masse der darüberliegenden Trägerplatten auf die Bindekämme der untersten Trägerplatte einwirkt.The individual carrier plates can thus always be placed with their underside on the folded edges of the carrier plate lying underneath. This prevents damage to the fact that a carrier plate located at the bottom of a stack of carrier plates or the binding combs arranged on this carrier plate is damaged by the fact that the mass of the carrier plates lying above acts on the binding combs of the lowermost carrier plate.

Bindeelemente von je 7/8" (22,23 mm) oder 3/4" (19,05 mm) im Durchmesser auf, wobei eine Reihe wiederum aus zwölf Haltelaschen 2 besteht. Insgesamt sind 84 Haltelaschen 2 auf der Trägerplatte 1 gleichmäßig und parallel zueinander angeordnet.A carrier plate 1 consists of environmentally friendly disposable cardboard, but can also be made of another suitable material, such as e.g. Plastic. The carrier plate 1 is approximately 333 mm wide and approximately 350 mm long. As shown in Fig. 1, the carrier plate 1 has seven vertical rows of retaining tabs 2 for seven binding combs 3 or binding elements each 7/8 "(22.23 mm) or 3/4" (19.05 mm) in diameter, wherein a row in turn consists of twelve retaining tabs 2. A total of 84 retaining tabs 2 are arranged uniformly and parallel to one another on the carrier plate 1.

Die Haltelaschen 2 sind H-förmig in die Trägerplatte 1 geschnitten, wobei der Quersteg der H-förmigen Haltelaschen 2 einen sogenannten Basisbereich 4 (wie in Fig. 3 ersichtlich) des Bindekammes 3 umfaßt. Der Abstand oder die Teilung für die Haltelaschen 2 innerhalb einer Reihe beträgt ca. 1" = 25,4 mm. Die Haltelasche 2 selbst ist ca. 22 mm breit und 14 mm hoch. Die in der Fig. 1 gezeichneten oberen Haltelaschen 2 sind in einem Abstand von ca. 40 mm vom oberen Rand angeordnet. Der waagrechte Abstand, also der Abstand einer in der Fig. 1 senkrecht gezeichneten Reihe zur nächsten, beträgt ca. 43 mm.The holding tabs 2 are cut into the carrier plate 1 in an H-shape, the transverse web of the H-shaped holding tabs 2 comprising a so-called base region 4 (as can be seen in FIG. 3) of the binding comb 3. The spacing or division for the holding tabs 2 within a row is approximately 1 "= 25.4 mm. The holding tab 2 itself is approximately 22 mm wide and 14 mm high. The upper holding tabs 2 shown in FIG. 1 are in a distance of approximately 40 mm from the upper edge The horizontal distance, that is to say the distance from one row drawn vertically in FIG. 1 to the next, is approximately 43 mm.

In ca. 18 mm Abstand von der Oberkante der Trägerplatte 1 sind den sieben Reihen der Haltelaschen 2 auch sieben Stück Positionieröffnungen 5 zugeordnet. Diese Positionieröffnungen 5 laufen in der selben Flucht, wie die Reihen der Haltelaschen 2. Sie sind damit parallel und genau mittig über jeder Reihe in einem Abstand von ca. 15 mm von den oberen Haltelaschen 2 entfernt vorhanden und dienen der genauen Positionierung und Verhinderung von Lageabweichungen der Trägerplatte 1, bei deren maschinellem Transport und Bestückung mit den Bindekämmen 3. Die Positionieröffnungen 5 sind hier in quadratischer Form gezeichnet und weisen eine Kantenlänge von ca. 6 mm auf. Genausogut aber könnten diese beispielsweise rund ausgeführt sein. Es ist möglich, z.B. über Lichtschranken oder andere geeignete Meßeinrichtungen die Positionieröffnungen 5 abzurufen.At a distance of approximately 18 mm from the upper edge of the carrier plate 1, the seven rows of holding tabs 2 are also assigned seven pieces of positioning openings 5. These positioning openings 5 run in the same alignment, like the rows of the holding tabs 2. They are thus present in parallel and exactly in the middle of each row at a distance of about 15 mm from the upper holding tabs 2 and are used for the exact positioning and prevention of positional deviations of the carrier plate 1 during its mechanical transport and Equipped with binding combs 3. The positioning openings 5 are drawn here in a square shape and have an edge length of approx. 6 mm. However, these could just as well be round, for example. It is possible, for example, to call up the positioning openings 5 via light barriers or other suitable measuring devices.

Damit die Transportmittel, wie Rollen oder Walzen, zur Beförderung der Trägerplatte 1 ohne Behinderung arbeiten können, ist jeweils ober- und unterhalb der Reihen der Haltelaschen 2 ein ausreichend großer Transportrand 6 vorhanden. Die Transportrichtung der Trägerplatte 1 ist in Fig. 1 mit einem Pfeil dargestellt.So that the means of transport, such as rollers or rollers, can work to convey the carrier plate 1 without hindrance, a sufficiently large transport edge 6 is provided above and below the rows of the holding tabs 2. The transport direction of the carrier plate 1 is shown in Fig. 1 with an arrow.

Alternativ wäre jedoch auch eine Traktorführung der Trägerplatte 1 möglich, wie sie im Zusammenhang mit dem Transport von Papier in Druckern für EDV-Anlagen bekannt ist. Hierzu müßte die Trägerplatte 1 mit einer geeigneten Perforation versehen werden.Alternatively, however, a tractor guidance of the carrier plate 1 would also be possible, as is known in connection with the transport of paper in printers for EDP systems. For this purpose, the carrier plate 1 would have to be provided with a suitable perforation.

Die Außenkanten des Transportrandes 6 sind jeweils mit einer rechteckigen Aussparung 7 von ca. 8 mm Breite und ca. 15 mm Länge versehen.The outer edges of the transport edge 6 are each provided with a rectangular recess 7 of approximately 8 mm in width and approximately 15 mm in length.

Um der Trägerplatte 1, trotz ihrer materialsparenden geringen Stärke, die nötige Stabilität zu verleihen, sind beide Außenseiten mit einem Falzrand 8 von ca. 5 mm Breite versehen. Der Falzrand 8 verläuft parallel zu den Reihen der Haltelaschen 2 und ist um ca. 90° zur Bestückungsseite hin abgewinkelt. In Fig. 1 und 2 ist der Falzrand 8 noch nicht umgebogen dargestellt.In order to give the carrier plate 1 the necessary stability, despite its material-saving low thickness, both outer sides are provided with a folded edge 8 of approximately 5 mm in width. The fold edge 8 runs parallel to the rows of retaining tabs 2 and is angled by approx. 90 ° to the component side. 1 and 2, the folded edge 8 is not yet shown bent over.

In der Fig. 1 ist außerdem gut erkennbar, wie die einzelnen Windungen eines Bindekammes 3 ausgebildet sind und wie sie in die Haltelaschen eingreifen. Dabei umfassen die Haltelaschen 2 nicht jeden Basisbereich 4, sondern nur jeden zweiten oder dritten, entsprechend der gewählten Teilung der Haltelaschen 2. Ein ebenes und sicheres Halten sowie Entnehmen der Bindekämme 3 ist damit möglich.In Fig. 1 it is also easy to see how the individual turns of a binding comb 3 are formed and how they engage in the retaining tabs. The holding tabs 2 do not include each base area 4, but only every second or third, depending on the selected division of the holding tabs 2. A flat and secure holding and removal of the binding combs 3 is thus possible.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Trägerplatte 1 von gleichem Format mit gleich großen Aussparungen 7, Transporträndern 6 und Falzrändern 8 dargestellt.2 shows a carrier plate 1 of the same format with recesses 7 of the same size, transport edges 6 and fold edges 8.

In dieser Trägerplatte 1 sind allerdings aufgrund der höheren vorgesehenen Packungsdichte der Bindekämme 3 (weil sie geringeren Durchmesser aufweisen) 20 Reihen Haltelaschen 2 für 20 schmalere Bindekämme von ca. 1/4" (6,35 mm) oder auch 3/16" (4,76 mm) Durchmesser vorgesehen.In this carrier plate 1, however, due to the higher packing density of the binding combs 3 (because they have a smaller diameter) there are 20 rows of holding tabs 2 for 20 narrower binding combs of approximately 1/4 "(6.35 mm) or 3/16" (4 , 76 mm) diameter is provided.

Wie in Fig. 1 sind ebenso innerhalb einer Reihe zwölf mit einer Teilung von 1" (25,4 mm) angeordnete Haltelaschen 2 vorhanden, so daß insgesamt in Fig. 2 240 Haltelaschen 2 gleichmäßig verteilt sind.As in FIG. 1, there are also twelve holding tabs 2 arranged within a row with a pitch of 1 "(25.4 mm), so that a total of 240 holding tabs 2 are evenly distributed in FIG. 2.

Der Abstand von einer Positionieröffnung 5 bzw. von einer Reihe Haltelaschen 2 zur anderen beträgt bei dieser Variante nur ca. 15,5 mm.The distance from one positioning opening 5 or from one row of retaining tabs 2 to the other is only approximately 15.5 mm in this variant.

Der "H"-Quersteg, d.h. die Breite der Haltelaschen 2, mißt hierbei nur ca. 7 mm, wahrend die Länge ca. 10 mm beträgt.The "H" crossbar, ie the width of the retaining tabs 2, measures only approx. 7 mm, while the length is approx. 10 mm.

Selbstverständlich können auch je nach der gewünschten Packungsdichte andere Abstände zwischen den Haltelaschenreihen gewählt werden.Of course, depending on the desired packing density, other distances between the rows of retaining tabs can also be selected.

Die Seitenansicht eines stark vergrößerten Ausschnitts eines auf der Trägerplatte 1 gehalterten Bindekammes 3 ist in Fig. 4 erkennbar.The side view of a greatly enlarged section of a binding comb 3 held on the carrier plate 1 can be seen in FIG. 4.

Von oben her bewirken pneumatisch, mechanisch oder hydraulisch wirkende Eindrückstempel 9 die Aufbiegung der Haltelaschen 2 nach unten. Die Haltelaschen 2 werden, wie erwähnt, nach unten gedrückt, wobei der Basisbereich 4 der Bindekämme 3 (wie in Fig. 3 zu sehen) in den nun geöffneten Quersteg der H-förmigen Haltelasche 2 eingreift und durch das elastische Zurückfedern der Haltelaschen 2 die Bindekämme 3 haltert. Die so gehalterten Bindekämme 3 sind damit genau formatiert und jederzeit in einfacher Weise von Hand oder maschinell entnehmbar.Pneumatically, mechanically or hydraulically acting plungers 9 cause the holding tabs 2 to bend downwards from above. As mentioned, the holding tabs 2 are pressed down, the base region 4 of the binding combs 3 (as can be seen in FIG. 3) engaging in the now open crosspiece of the H-shaped holding tab 2 and the binding combs by the springing back of the holding tabs 2 3 holds. The binding combs 3 held in this way are thus precisely formatted and can be removed at any time in a simple manner by hand or by machine.

Bei solchen, wie in den Fig. 1, 3 und 4 dargestellten, in Längsrichtung offenen spiralartigen und ovalförmigen, Bindekämmen 3 brauchen dann nur noch die Lose-Blatt-Systeme mit der entsprechenden Anzahl korrespondierender Öffnungen in die offenen Schlaufen der Bindekämme 3 gelegt werden. Danach können die Bindekämme 3 zu einer geschlossenen Ringspirale geformt werden.In such, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, in the longitudinal direction open spiral and oval-shaped binding combs 3 then only the loose leaf systems with the corresponding number of corresponding openings need to be placed in the open loops of the binding combs 3. The binding combs 3 can then be formed into a closed ring spiral.
