The invention is characterized in that at least one of the limbs (10,12) is embodied as an elastic hollow profiled section (20) which, when seen on the plane of the direction of perforation (S), has a rectangular shape, and at least the longer delimiting walls (22) of the hollow profiled section (20) are made of elastic material.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Papierlocher.The present invention relates to a paper punch.

Papierlocher, mit denen Aktenteile zum Abheften gelocht werden, sind in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen bekannt. So sind kleine Locher in Taschenformat beschrieben (DE-OS 28 41 441; DE-OS 22 10 794; DE-GM 73 07 954), die nur einen Stanzstempel und ein Stanzloch aufweisen, mit denen das zu lochende Papier in gefaltetem Zustand gelocht wird, wodurch sich zwei Lochungen ergeben. Bei diesen Lochern tritt das Problem auf, daß sich derStanzstempel im Stanzloch verkantet, da er sich beim Lochungsvorgang auf einer Kreisbahn bewegt.Paper punches with which parts of the file are punched for filing are known in a wide variety of designs. Thus, small punches are described in pocket size (DE-OS 28 41 441; DE-OS 22 10 794; DE-GM 73 07 954), which have only one punch and a punch hole with which the paper to be punched is punched in the folded state , resulting in two holes. In these holes, there is a problem that the punch is canted in the punch hole because it moves in a circular path in the punching operation.

Bei den üblichen Bürolochern im Tischformat wird die exakte Führung des Stanzstempels zum Stanzloch durch einen komplizierten Hebelmechanismus bewirkt, der den Stanzstempel in Führungen führt.In the usual office holes in the table format, the exact guidance of the punch to the punch hole is effected by a complicated lever mechanism that guides the punch in guides.

Die DE 32 30 312 A1 offenbart einen Locher für Papier- und Pappwaren, bei dem der Stanzstempelin einer Führung verläuft und vermittels eines als Druckplatte ausgebildeten Oberteils auf das zu lochende Papier gedrückt wird. Das Oberteil ist mit dem Unterteil schwenkbeweglich verbunden. Durch die Führung des Stanzstempels wird dessen Verkanten beim Lochvorgang vermieden.DE 32 30 312 A1 discloses a punch for paper and cardboard products, in which the punch runs in a guide and is pressed by means of a pressure plate designed as a shell on the paper to be punched. The upper part is pivotally connected to the lower part. Due to the leadership of the punch whose tilting is avoided during the punching process.

Die DE 89 12 826.5 U beschreibt einen Locher, dessen elastisch schwenkbewegliche Schenkel einen T-förmigen, doppel-T-förmigen oder U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Infolge dieser Ausgestaltung läuft der Stanzstempel während des Lochvorgangs auf einem Kreisbahnabschnitt, was zu dem bereits oben beschriebenen Problem des Verkantens führt.DE 89 12 826.5 U describes a hole punch whose elastically pivotable legs have a T-shaped, double-T-shaped or U-shaped cross-section. As a result of this configuration, the punch during the punching operation runs on a circular path section, which leads to the problem of tilting already described above.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Locher vorzuschlagen, der sowohl in der Ausführung als kleiner Taschenlocher mit nur einem Stanzstempel als auch in der üblichen Bürolocherausführung eine exakte Führung des Stanzstempels zum Stanzloch auf einfachste Weise und ohne aufwendige Konstruktion ermöglicht.Object of the present invention is to provide a punch that allows both in the design as a small pocket punch with only a punch and in the usual office punch design exact guidance of the punch to the punch hole in the simplest way and without expensive construction.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen gattungsgemäßen Papierlocher gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung mit jeweils einem oder zwei Stanzstempeln wieder.This object is achieved by a generic paper punch according to the preamble of the main claim with the features of the characterizing part. The subclaims give advantageous embodiments of the invention, each with one or two punches again.

Die Erfindung ist aber auch für Locher mit mehr als zwei Stanzstempeln verwendbar, wie sie beispielsweise für Locher von sogenannten Ringbucheinlagen verwendbar sind, die mehr als zwei Lochungen bewirken, beispielsweise drei oder vier.However, the invention can also be used for punches with more than two punches, such as those used for punches of so-called ring binder inserts that cause more than two perforations, for example, three or four.

Gestaltet man mindestens einen der Schenkel, an denen der Stanzstempel bzw. das Stanzloch angeordnet sind, als Hohlprofil mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt aus, so wird bei einer elastischen Verformumg dieses Hohlprofils, beispielsweise bei einer Verbiegung der längeren Kanten des Rechteckprofils, die äußere kürzere Kante des Rechteckprofils parallel zu der zweiten kürzeren Kante des Rechteckprofils bewegt, sodaß es nicht zu einem Verkanten des im Bereich der äußeren Kante angeordneten Stanzstempels kommt. Dabei ist es nicht erforderlich, daß der gesamte Schenkel als Hohlprofil ausgestaltet ist. Es genügt, wenn ein längeres Teilstück entsprechend ausgestaltet ist.If at least one of the legs on which the punch or the punching hole is arranged is designed as a hollow profile with a rectangular cross section, the outer edge of the hollow section will be deformed elastically, for example if the longer edges of the rectangular profile are bent Rectangular profile moves parallel to the second shorter edge of the rectangular profile, so that there is no tilting of the arranged in the region of the outer edge punch. It is not necessary that the entire leg is designed as a hollow profile. It is sufficient if a longer section is designed accordingly.

Vorzugsweise werden, insbesondere bei kleien Taschenlochern mit nur einem Stanzstempel, beide Schenkel als Hohlprofile ausgebildet.Preferably, especially in the case of small pocket punches with only one punch, both legs are formed as hollow profiles.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht die Schaffung von Lochern, die lediglich aus zwei elastischen, miteinander verbundenen Schenkeln bestehen, an denen ein oder mehrere Stanzstempel und die entsprechenden Stanzlöcher angeordnet sind. Ein Hebel- oder Federmechanismus ist nicht mehr erforderlich.The invention makes it possible to provide punches which consist only of two elastic, interconnected legs, on which one or more punches and the corresponding punched holes are arranged. A lever or spring mechanism is no longer required.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figurenbeschreibung bespielhaft näher erläutert.

Figur 1a
zeigt einen Kleinlocher mit einem Stanzstempel in einer Schnittansicht von der Seite;
Figur 1b
zeigt den gleichen Locher im gleichen Schnitt in betätigtem zusammengedrückten Zustand;
Figur 1c
zeigt den gleichen Locher in einer Ansicht von unten;
Figur 2a
zeigt einen Bürolocher mit zwei Stanzstempeln in einer Ansicht von unten; und
Figur 2b
zeigt den gleichen Locher in einer Schnittansicht von der Seite.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the description of the figures.
FIG. 1a
shows a small hole punch with a punch in a sectional view from the side;
FIG. 1b
shows the same hole punch in the same section in actuated compressed state;
Figure 1c
shows the same hole in a view from below;
FIG. 2a
shows an office punch with two punches in a view from below; and
FIG. 2b
shows the same hole in a sectional view from the side.

Der Locher der Figuren la bis lc enthält einen Stanzstempel 14 aus einem an den Rändern geschärften Rundstift, der in einer kürzeren Begrenzungswand 24 eines Hohlprofils 20, das einen ersten Schenkel 10 des Lochers bildet, angeordnet ist. Der erste Schenkel 10 ist durch ein Verbindungsteil 26, beispielsweise in Form eines Stiftes, mit einem zweiten Schenkel 12 verbunden, der ebenfalls aus einem Hohlprofil 20 gebildet ist. Beide Hohlprofile 20 bestehen aus einem federelastischen Kunststoff, der in der Richtung, in der beide Schenkel aufgrund ihrer Elastizität aufeinander zu bewegt werden können, die als Stanzrichtung S bezeichnet wird. Durch das Zusammendrücken der Schenkel 10,12 in der Stanzrichtung S wird der Stanzstempel 14 in das Stanzloch 16 hineingeführt, wodurch der Lochungsvorgang bewirkt wird. Figur la zeigt den Locher im Ausgangszustand, Figur 1b im zusammengedrückten Zustand, in dem der Lochungsvorgang beendet ist.The punch of Figures la to lc includes a punch 14 of a sharpened at the edges round pin, which is in a shorter boundary wall 24 of a hollow profile 20, which forms a first leg 10 of the punch is arranged. The first leg 10 is connected by a connecting part 26, for example in the form of a pin, with a second leg 12, which is also formed from a hollow profile 20. Both hollow profiles 20 are made of a resilient plastic, which in the direction in which both legs can be moved toward each other due to their elasticity, which is referred to as punching direction S. By compressing the legs 10,12 in the punching direction S of the punch 14 is guided into the punch hole 16, whereby the punching operation is effected. Figure la shows the punch in the initial state, Figure 1b in the compressed state in which the punching process is completed.

Aus Figur 1b ist ersichtlich, daß infolge des rechteckigen Querschnitts der Schenkel 10,12 die längeren Begrenzungswände 22 parallel zueinander verformt werden, was dazu führt, daß die kürzere Begrenzungswand 24, in welcher der Stanzstempel 14 angeordnet ist, parallel zu der gegenüberliegenden kürzeren Begrenzungswand 24 geführt wird, wodurch ein Verkanten des Stanzstempels 14 vermieden wird. Das gleiche gilt für den zweiten Schenkel 12, in welchem auch das Verkanten des Stanzlochs 16 vermieden wird.From Figure 1b it can be seen that due to the rectangular cross section of the legs 10,12, the longer boundary walls 22 are deformed parallel to each other, resulting in that the shorter boundary wall 24, in which the punch 14th is arranged, is guided parallel to the opposite shorter boundary wall 24, whereby tilting of the punch 14 is avoided. The same applies to the second leg 12, in which also the tilting of the punching hole 16 is avoided.

Figur 2a und 2b zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform als Bürolocher, mit welcher in herkömmlicher Weise zwei Stanzöffnungen in einem Blatt erzeugt werden können. Diese Ausführungsform wird durch eine Verdoppelung der Funktionselemente der Ausführungsform der Figuren 1a - c erhalten. Die Bezugszeichen entsprechen in der Darstellung einander.Figure 2a and 2b shows another embodiment as an office punch, with which in a conventional manner two punched openings can be produced in a sheet. This embodiment is obtained by doubling the functional elements of the embodiment of FIGS. 1a-c. The reference numerals correspond to each other in the illustration.

Aus den Figuren 1a, 1b und 2b ist zu entnehmen, daß nicht die gesamte Erstreckung der Schenkel 10,12 als Hohlprofile ausgebildet sein muß. Vielmehr können insbesondere die Endteile, d. h. die kürzeren Begrenzungswände der Hohlprofile 20 massiv ausgestaltet sein, um die Anbringung von Stanzstempel 14, Stanzloch 16 und Verbindungsteil 26 zu erleichtern. From Figures 1a, 1b and 2b it can be seen that not the entire extension of the legs 10,12 must be formed as hollow profiles. Rather, in particular the end parts, d. H. the shorter boundary walls of the hollow profiles 20 may be designed solid to facilitate the attachment of punch punch 14, punch hole 16 and connecting part 26.
