Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a data storage tool for a finance room, in particular to a card index box for a finance room. Background Art

[0002] The various types of information in the Finance Department are relatively complex. The bills, delivery notes, contracts, express delivery orders, payment receipts and other information corresponding to each product and customer need to be classified one by one by customer unit to facilitate subsequent search, archiving and other operations.

[0003] Known card index boxes include an upper box and a lower box, which are connected to each other by a hinge. Opposite the hinge, there is usually a spring lock or similar device, by which the upper and lower boxes can be fixed in a closed position. If the spring lock is released, the upper box can be rotated relative to the lower box about the hinge axis.

[0004] For users, the operation of the known card index box is usually cumbersome and unsatisfactory. After the card index box is opened, the opened upper box is laterally suspended on the lower box due to the hinge connection, so that the opened card index box occupies a large area and is not conducive to operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a card index box for a finance room, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate and occupies a small area when opened.

[0006] A card index box for a financial office comprises an upper box portion, which is covered on a lower box portion, and the upper and lower box portions are connected by snap-fitting connectors; the snap-fitting connectors are centrally arranged on two narrow sides of the card index box; the snap-fitting connectors comprise: an extension portion arranged on the upper box portion, which extends to the lower box portion, and the extension portion has a through hole; the snap-fitting connectors further comprise: a protrusion arranged on the lower box portion for snap-fitting with the through hole; the protrusion is arranged on the narrow side wall of the lower box portion; guide ribs extending perpendicularly to the base are arranged on the inner sides of the long side wall and the narrow side wall of the upper box portion; a plurality of partition plates arranged alternately are arranged in the lower box portion, and the bottom of the partition plates is detachably connected to the mounting holes on the base of the lower box portion. The partition plates are used to divide the information of the financial office according to different types, customers, time periods or other classifications.

[0007] When the snap connector is released, the upper box part is removed from the lower box part and turned over, and then the base of the lower box part is inserted into the open side of the upper box part to insert the lower box part into the upper box part, and the snap connector is snap-connected again; at this time, the card index box is locked in the stacking position, and the lower box part can only be separated from the upper box part again after releasing the snap connector; in the stacking position, one-third of the side walls of the lower box part protrude beyond the upper box part. When in use, the upper and lower box parts are stacked, which is easy to operate and occupies a small area after opening.

[0008] Preferably, a ridge is provided on the outer side adjacent to the top edge of the lower box portion, and the ridge is arranged parallel to the top edge; the ridge serves as a stopper for the upper box portion in the closed position.

[0009] Preferably, each partition plate extends from the first long side wall to the second long side wall, and lateral protrusions are provided on both sides of the partition plate, and these lateral protrusions enable the partition plate to rest on the edge of the long side wall in the stop position.

[0010] Preferably, a protrusion is provided on the outer side surface of the narrow side wall, the protrusion is centrally arranged relative to the width of the narrow side wall and is arranged corresponding to the through hole on the extension portion.

[0011] Preferably, two guide ribs are arranged on the inner side of the first narrow side and the second narrow side, and three guide ribs are arranged on the inner side of the first long side and the second long side. The guide ribs reduce the resistance during the insertion of the lower box part into the upper box part, and reduce the gap after the lower box part is inserted into the upper box part.

[0012] The basic idea of ​​the utility model is therefore that the upper part and the lower part are designed in such a way that, when released, the lower part can be inserted into the upper part with its base first. For this purpose, the upper part and the lower part must be designed as two essentially separate units, i.e. they are not permanently connected to each other by hinges or the like. Instead, they are two separate, separate, box-like parts, which can be arranged on top of each other in the closed position and locked relative to each other by connecting means. If the connection is loose, the upper part can be separated from the lower part and removed. After removing the lower part, the upper part must be turned so that the base of the lower part is inserted into the upper part first. "Bottom first insertion" means that the bottom is inserted into the open side of the top part essentially with its bottom first. The bottoms of the upper part and the lower part are aligned essentially parallel to each other. When inserted, that is, in the so-called stacking position, the two floors are one on top of the other. This means that when the card index box is in use, the upper part and the lower part of the card index box can be stacked on top of each other in the stacking position. This ensures that the card index box is very compact and that no unnecessary, bulky parts protrude from the base. Additionally, the total space required for the card index box when in use is reduced.

[0013] Positive effects of the utility model: The card index box for the financial room of the utility model comprises a box-shaped lower part designed to accommodate a card index or index card and a box-shaped upper part designed as a cover. Both the upper part and the lower part have a bottom, two long side walls and two narrow side walls. Therefore, both the upper part and the lower part are rectangular. In addition, a connecting device is provided, by which the upper part can be releasably connected to the lower part in a closed position. In the closed position, the cover-shaped upper part is placed on the lower part in such a way that the interior of the card index box is closed and it is impossible to access the index cards inside the card index box.

[0014] In order to ensure reliable positioning of the lower part in the upper part in any case, even in the case of large gaps between the upper and lower parts, locking means are provided by which the lower part inserted into the upper part can be locked in the stacked position.

[0015] During the insertion process, as soon as the lower part reaches the stacking position, it is locked in place by means of a locking device or fixed in place relative to the upper part. In principle, the stacking position can be specified arbitrarily. However, it is advantageous if the stacking position is specified in such a way that the lower part is only in the stacking position when the lower part has been inserted at least halfway into the upper part. This safely prevents the lower part from sliding out of the upper part or tipping over. Furthermore, this further increases the compactness of the card index box when in use or in the stacking position.

[0016] In principle, the card index box can be made of any material suitable for this purpose and is known in the art.

[0017] The card index box is made of plastic, wherein the lower part and the upper part are particularly preferably produced by injection molding, and the upper part and / or the lower part are preferably made of transparent plastic so that the interior of the card index box can be seen from the outside even in the closed position.

[0018] In order to further improve the guidance of the lower part during the insertion of the upper part, in a further embodiment of the invention, guiding means, in particular ribs, are provided on the inner side of the side wall of the upper part.

[0019] The ribs are preferably arranged circumferentially and evenly distributed. They can extend over the entire height of the side wall or only over part of the height. The guide ribs are conveniently designed and dimensioned so that the lower part rests on the ribs during insertion, thereby ensuring stable and play-free guidance.

[0020] To further enhance the safety of handling the card index box, a stopper is provided in another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] The stops are designed so that they fix the upper part and the lower part relative to each other in the closed and / or stacking position. This prevents, for example, the lower part from sliding through the connecting or fastening elements or the like. The locking device is blocked. In addition, an additional device for establishing a predetermined relative position of the upper part and the lower part is provided. Preferably, the stops are arranged in the edge region of the side walls of the lower part and / or the upper part. A particularly easy to manufacture and effective stop is formed by an outwardly protruding protrusion on the lower part. These stops are used to fix the upper part and the lower part relative to each other in the closed position. The stops are advantageously formed in the edge region of the side walls of the lower part, i.e. at its upper end. The stops are basically appropriately designed to correspond to the locking or unlocking mechanism. The connecting device is designed in such a way that, for example, when the upper part rests on the stop of the lower part, the upper part and the lower part are simultaneously in the locked and / or stacking position.

[0022] The card index box has a box-shaped lower part for receiving card indexes and / or index cards and a lower part designed as a lid, which is also in the form of a box and in which a partition plate extending substantially parallel to the narrow side walls is provided for dividing the interior of the card index box.

[0023] The divider provides a more detailed division of the index card box; for example, the individual index cards can be sorted by subject area or other categories. The divider is pivotally connected to the lower portion by a fastening device, further improving the operation of the card index box. For example, if a partition is bounded by two partitions, one partition can be moved away from the other partition, making it easier for the user to remove index cards from the partition or insert new index cards. The purpose of limiting the rotation range by providing a stop is to ensure that the separation of the partitions by a single divider is not eliminated and the separated index cards are not mixed up.

[0024] As a preferred solution, the dividing plate can be designed to be pivotable only to such an extent that the separation of the individual sub-sections is reliably ensured. It is feasible for the dividing plate to extend continuously from one long side wall to the other opposite long side wall. In any case, the design of the partitions must avoid mixing the individual index card sections together. In principle, the dividing plate can be designed as a continuous surface or with openings or the like. Like the rest of the card index box, the partition is advantageously made of plastic, although in principle any other material known in the prior art and suitable for this purpose can also be used. The fastening elements can be removable or permanently fixed. Each dividing plate conveniently has a pivot axis about which the dividing plate can be pivoted.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the pivot axis extends at the bottom of the lower section, as this achieves the maximum distance between the upper regions of two adjacent dividers in the pivoted state. This provides the user with as much space as possible to insert or remove index cards into or from the appropriate section, thereby improving operation.

[0026] Preferably, this is achieved by providing a hole pattern with a predetermined number of holes on the bottom of the lower part and locking lugs on the partition plates for engaging in the holes of the hole pattern. Each partition plate advantageously has at least two locking lugs to ensure a stable fastening. One or more locking lugs can be assigned to a hole. In addition to the locking lugs, other areas of the partition plate can engage in the holes to improve the guidance of the partition plate during the pivoting process. It is particularly preferred that the holes are designed as slots.

[0027] In another preferred embodiment, each partition is assigned at least one stop. Basically, each partition has at least two stop positions between which the partition can be pivoted. The at least one stop is designed so that it strikes a counterpart in each of the two stop positions and prevents further pivoting of the partition. If several stops are assigned to a partition wall, a different stop can be assigned to each stop position.

[0028] In another preferred embodiment, the stop is designed as a transverse projection on the partition. In the stop position, the stop of the partition rests on the edge of the lower long side wall. In this embodiment, the stop is advantageously designed to rest on the edge of the long side wall in both the first and second stop positions. This makes it easy to position the partition securely.

[0029] If the fastening means are formed by a hole pattern in the underfloor part and corresponding locking lugs on the dividing plate, a further preferred embodiment provides that the holes in the hole pattern are designed as stops for the dividing plate.

[0030] To ensure that the partition can pivot, the hole must be designed so that the locking lug inserted into the hole and other insertion areas of the partition (if applicable) have a certain amount of play. The range of play can be used to predetermine the range of rotation. In addition, the height or depth of the individual holes also plays a role. The range of rotation can also be changed by changing the height of the holes. In this embodiment, in a first stop position, the inserted part of the partition rests on one side of the hole, while in the other stop position, the inserted part of the partition rests on the opposite side of the hole. This makes it easy to integrate the fastening device and the stop into the same component, which further simplifies the construction of the card index box.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment, clamping surfaces for clamping a single partition are formed on the partition.

[0032] This embodiment is particularly preferred for card magazines in which the partition is detachably connected to the lower part. Conveniently, the gripping surface is provided in the region of the partition protruding upwards from the lower part. This ensures that the user has free access to the gripping surface. The gripping surface further improves the handling of the card index magazine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] like Figure 1 The card index box 100 for the finance room is in the closed position 50 , that is, the upper box portion 10 is covered on the lower box portion 20 , and the card index box 100 is completely closed through the snap connection of the snap connector 30 .

[0040] The upper box portion 10 and the lower box portion 20 are both box-shaped, and two long side walls 12 and two narrow sides 13 are arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface 11 .

[0041] In the closed position 50 , the upper box part 10 and the lower box part 20 cooperate with each other with their open sides.

[0042] The dimensions of the upper box portion 10 and the lower box portion 20 are designed to correspond to each other. In the present case, the length and width of the side wall of the upper box portion 10 are slightly greater than the length and width of the lower box portion 20, so that the upper box portion 10 overlaps with the lower box portion 20 in the closed position 50.

[0043] The snap connections 30 are arranged centrally on the two narrow sides 13 of the card index box 100 .

[0044] The buckle connector 30 includes an extension portion 31 disposed on the upper box portion 10, the extension portion 31 extending to the lower box portion 20, and a through hole 31a (see FIG. Figure 4 The snap connector 30 further includes: a protrusion 32 disposed on the lower box portion 20 for snap connection with the through hole 31a; the protrusion 32 is disposed on the narrow side wall 23 of the lower box portion 20 (see Figure 3 The upper box portion 10 has an arc-shaped chamfer 28 between the base plate 11 and the wide side wall 12 and the long side wall 13 .

[0045] Guide ribs 14 extending perpendicularly to the base 11 are arranged on the inner sides of the long side walls 12 and the narrow side walls 13 of the upper box portion 10. Since the upper box portion 10 in this embodiment is made of transparent plastic, the guide ribs 14 are visible from the outside.

[0046] Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 A perspective view of the card index box 100 in the stacked position 51 is shown.

[0047] The snap connector 30 has been released, the upper box part 10 has been removed from the lower box part 20 and turned over, and then the base 21 of the lower box part 20 is inserted into the open side of the upper box part 10. The lower box part 20 is inserted into the upper box part 10, and the snap connector 30 is snap-connected again. Therefore, the card index box is locked in the stacking position 51, and the lower box part 20 can only be separated from the upper box part 10 again after releasing the snap connector 30. In the stacking position 51, one third of the surrounding side walls of the lower box part 20 protrude beyond the upper box part 10.

[0048] A ridge 24 is provided on the outer side of the top edge 25 of the lower box portion 20 and is arranged parallel to the top edge 25 .

[0049] The ridge 24 serves as a stop for the upper box portion 10 in the closed position 50 (see Figure 1 ). The upper box portion 10 and the lower box portion 20 are sized so that they can be stacked on each other, and the lower box portion 20 is disposed in the upper box portion 10 with a gap as small as possible.

[0050] In the lower box portion 20 , six partition plates 40 are arranged alternately.

[0051] The partition plate 40 is used to separate the inner space of the lower box portion 20. Each partition plate 40 extends from the first long side wall 22a to the second long side wall 22b, and is aligned with the edge of the first narrow side wall 23a and the second narrow side wall 23b. The partition plate 40 is slightly inclined relative to the plane of the narrow side wall. The spacing of each partition plate 40 is roughly consistent. In the edge area of ​​the two long side walls 22, the partition plate 40 is provided with a transverse projection 43 on both sides. These transverse projections 43 make the partition plate 40 rest on the edge of the long side wall 22 in the stop position. Figure 2 All the partition plates 40 are in this stop position.

[0052] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lower box portion 20 in which the partition plate 40 is incorporated.

[0053] The narrow side wall 23a has a protrusion 32, which is arranged in the middle relative to the width of the narrow side wall 23a and is arranged corresponding to the through hole 31a on the extension 31. The protrusion 32 is arranged about 4 to 5 mm below the circumferential rib 24. In addition to the protrusion 32, a convex fast 27 is arranged at the end of the rib 24, and the convex fast 27 and the rib 24 serve as a stopper for the upper box part 10.

[0054] like Figure 4 , the elastic extension 31 protrudes slightly outward at a certain angle, thereby facilitating the release of the snap connector 30. In addition, two guide ribs 14 are arranged on the inner side of the first narrow side 13a and the second narrow side 13b, and three guide ribs 14 are arranged on the inner side of the first long side 12a and the second long side 12b. The guide ribs 14 reduce the resistance during the insertion of the lower box part 20 into the upper box part 10, and reduce the gap after the lower box part 20 is inserted into the upper box part 10. The guide ribs 14 on each narrow side wall extend almost over the entire height of the wall, while the ribs 14 on the long side walls 12a and 12b extend from the wall area closest to the floor to about half of the wall height. The guide ribs 14 on the long side walls 12a and 12b are roughly evenly distributed over the length of the wall, while the guide ribs 14 on the first narrow side 13a and the second narrow side 13b are respectively directly adjacent to the extension 31. All guide ribs 14 extend substantially perpendicular to the floor 11.

[0055] Figure 5 A top view of the lower box part 20 is shown.

[0056] Like the upper box portion 10, the lower box portion 20 is made of plastic, and therefore, unlike the upper box portion 10, the lower box portion 20 is opaque. The centrally arranged rectangular area 29 of the base 21 extending from the first narrow side wall 23a to the second narrow side wall 23b is designed as a reinforcement area. The thickness of the reinforced area 29 is twice the thickness of the rest of the base 21. A hole pattern 26 is formed in the region of the reinforced area, and the hole pattern 26 consists of a total of 16 mounting holes 26a, which are arranged in two columns and eight rows and are adjacent to each other. The mounting holes 26a are used to insert the locking lugs 41, or to plug into the guide area 44 of the mating partition plate 40 (see Figure 6 ).

[0057] Figure 6 A side view of the divider plate 40 is shown.

[0058] The gripping portion 42 of the partition plate 40 designed as a cat's ear is arranged in the upper corner area. Directly adjacent to the gripping portion 42, a transverse protrusion 43 is arranged on the outer side of the partition plate. With the help of these transverse protrusions 43, the pivotable partition plate 40 is set in a predetermined position. In the lower edge area of ​​the partition plate 40, two downwardly protruding locking lugs 41 are arranged. A guide area 44 with a central recess is arranged between them, wherein the two downwardly protruding areas of the guide area 44 can be engaged in different mounting holes 26a respectively. Similarly, the locking lugs 41 are arranged so that they each engage in another adjacent mounting hole 26a of the lower box part 20. When the partition plate 40 is removed from the lower box part 20 or the partition plate 40 is pivoted, the grooves in the partition plate 40 and the gripping portion 42 can be used to improve the operation of the partition plate.

[0059] The user's fingers can be inserted into the openings on the partition plate 40, thereby making it easier to operate the partition plate 40.

[0060] Each partition plate 40 is pivotable about a pivot axis located in the bottom 21 of the lower box portion 20 , and extends substantially parallel to the narrow side walls 23 a , 23 b of the lower box portion 20 .

[0061] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, each partition panel 40 can be pivoted from its shown stop position in the direction of the narrow side wall 23a into a second stop position. Each partition panel 40 is designed in the form of a stylized cat face and has gripping surfaces 42 designed as "cat ears" in their upper corner regions, which allow easier handling, for example when pivoting the respective partition panel. The partition panel is detachably connected to the base 21 of the lower box part 20.
