Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folder technology, and in particular to a folder that can be transformed into a support. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent No. 95225606.1, authorized on September 4, 1996, discloses a reading rack device with a foldable book support strip. It includes a book-supporting panel, a support base plate, and a book support strip connected by steel pins in a three-lobed hinge shape, as well as a diagonal brace frame, a book-pressing elastic band, and a spring-loaded folder. When the book support strip is open, it remains perpendicular to the book-supporting panel to support the weight of the book, keeping it tilted and preventing it from slipping, thus reducing reader fatigue. When the reading rack is folded up, all parts can be folded into a flat folder. The drawback of this prior art is that it requires additional diagonal supports to hold the book-supporting panel upright, and also requires additional book support strips to support the bag. This structural design complicates the folder's structure and directly increases production steps and costs. Therefore, improvement is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] For the first implementation method, please refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a folder, including a folder body, which includes a first fold 13, a second fold 11, and a third fold 12 integrally formed and sequentially connected along the length direction. The first fold 13 forms the bottom plate of the folder body, and the second fold 11 and the third fold 12 form the cover plate of the folder body. A spring clip 16 is fixedly provided at the middle of the connection between the first fold 13 and the second fold 11, and a spring clip cutout 18 is formed at the position of the second fold 11 corresponding to the spring clip 16. Several slots 14 are evenly distributed on the opposite sides of the first fold 13 in the width direction, and an extension insert 15 corresponding to the slot 14 is integrally formed on the opposite side of the third fold 12 away from the second fold 11. A protrusion 17 is formed in the middle of the pressure rod of the spring clip 16.

[0029] When used as a folder, the second fold 11 and the third fold 12 are respectively placed on top of the first fold 13, and the documents are placed between the first fold 13, the second fold 11 and the third fold 12 and held in place by the spring clip 16.

[0030] When used as a stand, the third fold 12 is folded back towards the first fold 13 until the extension blocks 15 on both sides are inserted into the corresponding slots 14. The item 10 is supported at the bottom by the protrusion 17 and backed by the first fold 13. This form can be used as a stand to hold items such as mobile phones, tablets, and books. The overall structure is simple and does not require additional structure to achieve the support function, saving process and production costs. It is also easy and quick to transform and has high applicability.

[0031] The number of slots 14 provided on opposite sides of the first fold 13 in the width direction is N, where N≥2. In this embodiment, there are 3 slots 14 on each side. Users can select the appropriate slots 14 according to their personal usage habits, so that the first fold 13 is at the required tilt angle.

[0032] Preferably, the inner side of the third fold 12 is provided with a storage bag 19 for storing some small items.

[0033] Preferably, the first flap 13 has hook-shaped folding surfaces 20 cut on opposite sides. When in use, the hook-shaped folding surfaces 20 on both sides fold outward to form a support platform, thereby allowing items to be placed on them.

[0034] Preferably, the inner surface of the third fold 12 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 21. When the bracket is in use, the anti-slip protrusions 21 provide an anti-slip function for the bracket, thereby ensuring the stability of the bracket.

[0036] For the second implementation method, please refer to... Figure 7-8 As shown, this utility model also provides a folder, including a folder body, which includes a first fold 13, a second fold 11, and a third fold 12 that are integrally formed and sequentially connected in the width direction. The first fold 13 forms the bottom plate of the folder body, and the second fold 11 and the third fold 12 form the cover plate of the folder body. Spring clips 16 are fixedly provided at the middle of the opposite sides of the first fold 13 in the length direction. Several slots 14 are evenly distributed in an orderly manner on the opposite sides of the first fold 13 in the length direction. An extension insert 15 corresponding to the slot 14 is integrally formed on the opposite side of the third fold 12 away from the second fold 11. A protrusion 17 is formed in the middle of the pressure rod of the spring clip 16.

[0037] When used as a folder, the second fold 11 and the third fold 12 are respectively placed on top of the first fold 13, and the document 23 is placed on the first fold 13 and held in place by the spring clip 16. The first fold 13 and the second fold 11 are respectively placed on the first fold 13.

[0038] When used as a support for item 10, the third fold 12 is folded in the opposite direction to the first fold 13 until the extension blocks 15 on both sides are inserted into the corresponding slots 14. Item 10 is supported at the bottom by the protrusion 17 and against the back by the first fold 13.

[0039] When used as a document 23 holder, the third fold 12 is folded back towards the first fold 13 until the extension blocks 15 on both sides are inserted into the corresponding slots 14. One side of the document 23 is held and fixed by the spring clip 16 on the side away from the second fold 11. After being turned, the document 23 can be reliably rolled towards the third fold 12 until the free end of the document 23 is inserted into the gap between the free end of the third fold 12 and the first fold 13, thereby fixing the outwardly turned document.

[0040] The above-described embodiments only illustrate two implementation methods of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent.
