Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a binder that can bundle papers together for storage and transportation. [Background technology]

[0002] Cardboard boxes are now commonly used in businesses and homes as containers for transporting items such as home deliveries, and they need to be disposed of after transport, but even if they are crushed and flattened, they are inconvenient to carry around as they are, and especially at home, cardboard boxes are collected on specific days, and until then the cardboard sheets need to be stored, and as the number of sheets increases, it is often difficult to find a place to store them. It would be nice to have a warehouse to store cardboard boxes and other paper bundles (hereinafter referred to as cardboard, etc.), but if there is not one, they will end up in spaces such as the living room, kitchen, or entrance, and in this case, leaning them against something saves space, but they slip and need to be tied down with plastic string every time, making storage a pain.

[0003] Prior Art Document 1 discloses a punching and tying device. This technology involves punching holes in cardboard boxes for tying them together for disposal. The device consists of a pole with a sharp tip and a hook notch, and a base that supports the pole. During use, the bundled cardboard is pierced, and after piercing, a string is hooked onto the hook notch at the tip of the pole that penetrates the cardboard sheets. The string penetrates the cardboard sheets and is then pulled out, tying the cardboard sheets together. The document also discloses a safety cap attached to the tip of the pole to further secure the cardboard sheets after piercing. However, such a pole requires the user to grip the cardboard sheets each time during transportation or storage, which can lead to slippage. Furthermore, the sharp tip of such a pole increases the risk of injury during use, making it unsafe for use in households where children are present. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Figure 5] 5 is a fifth embodiment of the binding tool according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The bundling tool of this embodiment is used when bundling cardboard boxes or the like for storage and transportation. The binder comprises a handle 1 (main body) with a frame of a C-type or a shape equivalent thereto (e.g., F-type), and one or more rod-shaped bodies 2, each of which has a screw mechanism (a threaded hole in the main body) at one end thereof and penetrates the screw mechanism to the other end. At least one of the rod-shaped bodies 2 has a recess at the tip for hooking a string, and the other end of the rod-shaped body 2 has a handle 3 for operating the screw mechanism. The other end of the handle 1 (main body) has a fixed part 4 connected to the tip of the rod-shaped body 2. The handle 1 (main body) comprises multiple members, and the multiple members are connected at one end and the other end of the main body so that they can move away from or toward each other. The rod-shaped bodies preferably have tapered tips, and preferably have sharp, pointed tips. Furthermore, the material is preferably metal from the standpoint of durability, specifically iron, stainless steel, copper, etc. Stainless steel is most preferred as it is resistant to rust.

[0010] The bundling tool safely pierces cardboard boxes and the like with a rod-shaped body 2, and bundles them together with a handle 1, allowing for easy transport and carrying using the handle 1. By using multiple bundling tools, the tools can be stored upright, making them easy to transport, and they can be tied together with a string. The handle 1 of the bundling tool is characterized by the tip being made up of a rod-shaped body 2.

[0011] The handle 1 is preferably U-shaped or arched, similar to a C-clamp, but any shape, such as a heart or star shape shown in Figure 2, may be used as long as it performs a similar function. The distance between the two ends of the handle 1 is preferably 10 to 20 cm. If the distance between the two ends is less than 10 cm, work becomes difficult and fewer cardboard boxes can be bundled. If the distance is greater than 20 cm, the number of cardboard boxes to be carried increases, which may make the box heavy. When there are only a few cardboard boxes, the knotted cardboard boxes tend to dangle unstably, making knotting difficult. The handle 1 can be made of any material that can be fixed, such as wood, metal, or plastic, but metal is preferred for its durability.

[0012] A rod-shaped body 2 equipped with one or more screw mechanisms is provided at one end of the handle 1. The rod-shaped body 2 can be a metal body having a diameter of 0.5 to 1 cm and a shape such as a polygonal pillar, cone, or cylinder. The tip of the rod-shaped body 2 can be any shape that can penetrate materials such as cardboard, but it is preferable that it is sharp and pointed. The tip of the rod-shaped body 2 is preferably tapered with an angle of 30 degrees or less, preferably 15 degrees or less, and most preferably 10 degrees or less, and it is preferable that it is sharp and pointed in order to perforate cardboard, etc.

[0013] It is preferable to provide a recess at a position slightly away from the tip of the rod-shaped body 2. This recess allows a string to be hooked onto it, and the string can be passed through a piece of cardboard or the like, pulled out, and knotted. The recess may have any shape as long as it can hook the string.

[0014] The other end of the rod-shaped body 2 has a handle for operating the screw mechanism. The handle can be knob-shaped, rod-shaped, or any other shape as long as it rotates the screw mechanism and allows the tip of the rod-shaped body 2 to be separated from, fixed to, or brought close to the other end of the main body. The handle can be made of any material, such as wood, metal, or plastic, but metal is preferred for its durability. "Approachable" means that the tip of the rod-shaped body can be brought close to the other end.

[0015] It is preferable that the other end of the handle 1 has a fixing part for storing the tip of the rod-shaped body 2. The fixing part can have any shape as long as it can fix the other end of the handle 1 and the tip of the rod-shaped body 2, but it is preferable that it has a shape that will not slip off during storage or transportation after penetrating the cardboard or the like. In particular, it is most preferable that it has a structure that can store and fix the tip of the rod-shaped body.

[0016] The main body of the handle 1 comprises multiple members, and the multiple members are connected by a connecting part 5 so that one end and the other end of the main body can move in a direction away from or towards each other. The connecting part 5, which allows the one end and the other end of the main body to move in a direction away from or towards each other, can be located anywhere as long as it allows the cardboard or the like that has been inserted into the rod-shaped body 2 to be smoothly removed from the rod-shaped body 2, but in order to allow the one end and the other end of the main body to move smoothly in a direction away from or towards each other, it is preferable that the multiple members be connected by a hinge or the like, or that the multiple members be in contact with each other and connected in a slidable manner.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting portion 5, which allows one end and the other end of the main body to move in directions away from or towards each other, may be provided with a means for fixing the one end and the other end of the main body so that they do not move in directions away from or towards each other when storing or transporting cardboard boxes or the like. [Example]

[0018] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a binding tool according to the present invention. In Figure 1, the device consists of a rod-shaped object 2 (2) made of iron, C-shaped, with a 15-cm-long screw mechanism at one end and extending to the other end. The other end of the rod 2 has a handle 3 (3) measuring 5 cm in length and approximately 3 mm in diameter for rotating the screw mechanism. The other end of the handle 1 has a fixed portion 4 with a 4-mm-long cylindrical recess near the other end of the rod 2. The main body of the handle 1 has two components, and the two components are connected by a hinged portion 5 that allows one end of the body to move toward or away from each other. The tip of the rod 2 has a recess 6 for hooking a string, and the tip of the rod is sharpened like a needle. With this structure, 10 cardboard sheets can be lined up and pierced with the rod to store them as a bundling device. Furthermore, by hooking a vinyl string into the recess at the tip of the pierced rod and pulling it out, the string can be passed through the cardboard, and the string can be tied together and collected. We were able to confirm the convenience of being able to add additional cardboard boxes, etc. at any time while using it as a bundling tool. [Example]

[0019] FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the binding device according to the present invention. In Figure 2, one end of a heart-shaped iron handle 1a has a tapered rod-like body 2 equipped with a screw mechanism 15 cm long that reaches all the way to the other end, and the other end of the rod-like body 2 has a heart-shaped knob-like handle 3a for operating the screw mechanism, and the other end of the handle 1a has a fixing part 4 for fixing the tip of the rod-like body 2, and part of the handle 1 has a connecting part 5 for opening and closing, and the tip of the rod-like body 2 has a recess 6 for hanging a string. By operating the screw mechanism, cardboard etc. can be perforated with little force, and binding can be performed by hanging a string on the recess near the tip. [Example]

[0020] FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the binding device according to the present invention. In Figure 3, the binding tool is characterized by having a C-shaped handle 1 made of iron, a rod-like body 2a at one end that is about 15 cm long and has a screw mechanism extending partway from the base end to the other end, with a blunt tip, a handle 3 at the other end of the rod-like body 2a for operating the screw mechanism, a recessed fixing part 4 at the other end of the handle 1 into which the tip of the rod-like body 2a fits, a connecting part 5 at part of the handle 1 for opening and closing, and a recess 6a at the tip of the rod-like body 2a for hooking a string. Since the distance between both ends of the handle 1 can be easily changed even if the position of the opening and closing part is changed, it is possible to more easily perforate and bind cardboard and the like. [Example]

[0021] FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of a binding tool according to the present invention. In Figure 4, the binder has a rod-shaped body 2 at one end of a handle 1b and equipped with a screw mechanism that reaches the other end, a wooden handle 3b at the other end of the rod-shaped body for operating the screw mechanism, a fixing part 4a at the other end of the handle 1b for fixing the tip of the rod-shaped body 2, a connecting part 5a at the body of the handle 1b that allows one end and the other end of the body to slide toward or away from each other and where the two parts come into contact, and a recess 6 at the tip of the rod-shaped body for hooking a string. By using an F-shaped handle as shown in Figure 4, unlike a C-shaped handle, the position at which the handle is held can be freely changed, making drilling, binding, and transporting easier. [Example]

[0022] FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the binding device according to the present invention. In Figure 5, the binder has two rod-shaped bodies 2 each equipped with a screw mechanism about 18 cm long at one end of a C-shaped iron handle 1c that reaches to the other end, a knob-like handle 3c at the other end of each rod-shaped body 2 for operating the screw mechanism, a fixing part 4 at the other end of each handle 1c for fixing the tip of each rod-shaped body 2, a connecting part 5 at a part of the handle 1c for opening and closing, and a recess 6 at the tip of at least one of the rod-shaped bodies 2 for hooking a string. By using multiple rod-shaped bodies, it is possible to prevent cardboard boxes and the like from falling due to their weight when transporting them, and to prevent damage to the cardboard boxes and the like.
