Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for mechanical connection of documents according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Such a stapler without a staple is known from US 3,577,575 (Fumio Taniguchi).
- the structure corresponds to the staplers.
- a paper tongue is punched out on three sides with a punch knife.
- a cut is cut across the paper with a prick.
- the stylus has an eyelet.
- the stapler is released, the swivel blade and the stylus withdraw from the paper.
- the paper tongue is pulled through the slot through the slot to the other side of the paper.
- the paper layers are held together by the cut and solid paper tongues.
- This device has the advantage that no metallic or other clips are required.
- the stapling is only done by the paper itself.
- the blades are free-standing when the stapler is open. They are easily damaged and pose a considerable risk of injury to the user.
- These staplers are composed of over 30 individual parts.
- the object of the invention is to provide a stapling device in which the punching and cutting elements are not free but completely protected both in the idle state and in use. They should not be able to be damaged and they should not pose any risk of injury to the user.
- Another advantage of the invention is that a stapling device according to the invention is built from only 7 individual parts can be. This lowers the manufacturing costs considerably and reduces the susceptibility to faults.
- Figure 1 shows an inventive device in cross section with inserted paper webs in the idle state
- Figure 2 shows an inventive device in cross section with inserted paper webs at the end of the punching process
- Figure 3 shows a device according to the invention in cross section with after the completion of the stitching process with stapled paper webs in the idle state.
- Figure 4 The stylus in front view
- Figure 6 is a view of the device
- Figure 7 is a view of the swivel bending element.
- a device according to the invention is shown in cross section with inserted paper webs in the idle state. It consists of three main elements, namely base 1, sliding element 3 and cover 2.
- the base 1 is U-shaped in cross section, it has first retaining cams 11 projecting inwards on the side flanks.
- a bearing block 12 is arranged on the base of the base 1.
- a punch-bending element 15 is pivotally attached to it, and an upwardly projecting stylus 14, which has cutting edges and an eyelet, is also attached to it.
- the punching-bending element 15 is pivotally held on the bearing block 12 on a swivel fastening 151. It has a driver 154, for the active connection with a cam 35, and a surface designed as a punch 152.
- the stamping and bending element 15 is pressed into its rest position by a return spring 13.
- the sliding element 3 also has a U-shape which is open at the bottom in cross section.
- the sliding element 3 is dimensioned such that it is held in the base 1 in a precisely guided manner. It has laterally outwardly projecting second retaining cams 33 which in the idle state strike the first retaining cams 11 and thus limit the position of the sliding element 3.
- a spring 32 pushes the sliding element 3 into this rest position. Further guides for the exact displaceability of the sliding element 3 could be provided.
- the sliding element 3 is flat on the outside outside as a paper support 31, it has a first recess 311 on the inside, which corresponds in its area to the paper tongue to be punched out on three sides and as a die to the punch 152 of the punching and bending element 15.
- a second recess 312 Spaced from this is a second recess 312, which is provided as a matrix for the stylus 14. Between these recesses 311 and 312, the flat piece of paper support 31 is expanded downwards as cams 35.
- the cam 35 serves as an active compound for pivoting the punching and bending element 15.
- the cover 2 is also a U-profile open at the bottom in cross section. Inside is a die 25 with a blind hole 26. This die 25 or the blind hole 26 corresponds in its base area to the areas of the first and second recesses 311, 312 in the sliding element 3 and thus the space required by the tip of the stylus and the stamping and bending element when pressing down the cover 2 and thus the sliding element 3 into the base 1.
- the cover 2 is pivotally connected to the sliding element 3 in a hinge-like manner.
- the process of stapling can be seen in the sequence from FIGS. 1 to three.
- the lid 2 is pivoted back, whereupon some paper webs 4 are placed on the paper support 31.
- the stylus 14 and the punching-bending element 15 are completely hidden and protected between the sliding element 3 and the base of the base.
- the cover 2 is pivoted back again.
- the paper webs 4 are covered.
- the tongues 41 form a loop on the top of the paper webs, are guided through the slot on the underside and lie approximately on the underside of the paper webs.
- the lid 2 can be pivoted back and the stapled paper webs 4 can be removed from the device. The stapler can be used again.
- the stylus 14 is shown in FIG. 4 in a front view. It is similar to a sewing needle. The cutting edges are clearly visible
- the course of paper webs in the stapled state is shown in FIG. 5.
- the tongues 41 of the paper webs are bent or even folded over 42, drawn approximately perpendicularly 43 through the cut, and their free end 44 lies approximately on the underside of the paper webs.
- the base part of the sliding part 3 is minimally smaller than the base 1.
- the base surface of the cover 2 corresponds approximately to the sliding part 3. It is pivotally connected to the sliding part 21 in the region of an edge by the swivel joints 21.
- the sliding part 3 is telescopically insertable into the base 1 by pressing on the cover 2. This insertion actuates the stapling process as described above.
- the stamping and bending element 15 is shown in more detail in a view in FIG. 7.
- the punch 152 has a cut surface 155 which has the shape of the corresponds to the paper tongues to be cut out, this cut surface
- the cut surface 155 is configured by cutting edges 156 on three sides for cutting or punching. These cut edges 156 can be hardened or slightly protruding upwards. In a preferred embodiment, the cut surface 155 can also be curved slightly upward, as shown in FIG. 7. It then shows the image of a section of a cylindrical surface. This design cuts the paper tongues very precisely and at the same time initiates the bending process. The cut surface 155 merges with the nose 153 at its non-cutting end. The nose
- the swivel bearing 151 is located at a suitable point at a distance from the driver 154, nose 153 and punch 152.
- the new stapling device protects the punching and cutting elements completely, both in the idle state and in use. They cannot be damaged. The user can therefore not hurt himself.
- the cover is provided with a small chicane 22 in the region of the swivel joint, which minimally raises the cover by striking it laterally on the sliding part 3. This makes it possible to pull out bound papers without having to open the lid 2.
