Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clear file having holes for stapling documents. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there have been paper alignment devices for staplers that are connected to a stapler to prevent a stack of papers from shifting when stapling (see Patent Document 1), and double punch staplers that have a structure in which two staplers are connected together (see Patent Document 2). Furthermore, there is a clear file (see Patent Document 3) in which notches of different shapes and positions are formed on the edges for the purpose of making it easier for visually impaired people to classify and search documents stored therein. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-88168 [Patent Document 2] Publication No. 54-084690 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3236357 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, these prior art techniques have the following problems. (a) The prior art described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 requires the installation of dedicated equipment, and neither prior art is versatile, posing problems in terms of securing storage space when not in use and effective use of assets. (b) In the prior art described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the devices were large and bulky, making it difficult to carry them around in a bag or the like on a daily basis, and it was not possible to take them out and use them when and where needed. (c) The prior art described in Patent Document 3 is intended to identify the inserted documents by the difference in the shape and position of the notches. However, since the shapes and positions of the notches are different for each document, it is not possible to staple documents in a predetermined position on a stack of papers in an orderly manner without shifting the stack of papers. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A clear file is made by folding a rectangular backing in half to form a front sheet and a back sheet, and gluing the bottom sides of the two opposing back sheets together. A hole or a notch is provided at the end of the clear file as a through-hole that runs from the front sheet to the back sheet. In this case, the through-hole may be only a hole or only a notch, or may be any combination of a hole and a notch. This is a clear file having the above features. Effect of the Invention

[0006] After inserting a stack of documents into the clear file of the present invention and aligning the edges of the stack, the documents can be stapled in the holes or notches provided, and the file can be used for storing or sending documents as is. This makes the file highly versatile and allows for effective use of assets. In addition, the clear file of the present invention is thin and not bulky, so it can be easily carried in a bag together with a stapler, and can be taken out and used when and where it is needed. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 13 is a front view of the present invention in which the through-portion is a hole. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a development view of the present invention in which the through-portions are holes. [Diagram 3] FIG. 13 is a front view of the present invention in which the through-hole is a notch. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a development view of the present invention in which the through-hole is a notch. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The rectangular sheet is folded at the folding edge (3) to form the front sheet (1) and the back sheet (2). Next, the front sheet (1) and the back sheet (2) are bonded at the adhesive part (7) to obtain a clear file (10). At the end of this clear file (10), a hole (4) or a notch (5) is provided that penetrates from the front sheet (1) to the back sheet (29). Note that the hole (4) and the notch (5) may be formed at a predetermined position so as to penetrate the front sheet (1) and the back sheet (2) before the clear file (10) is formed, and may be provided on the folding edge (3) side, on the finger loop (thimble) (6) side, or on both the folding edge (3) side and the finger loop (thimble) (6) side. The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, a stack of papers to be stapled is placed in the clear file (10), the edges of the stack are aligned, and then the stack is stapled in the provided holes (4) or notches (5). After stapling, the stack of papers can be stored or sent while still in the clear file (10). [Explanation of symbols]
