Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the drawings showing the file cover 30 according to the embodiments. In the following description, the up-down, front-back, left-right in the drawings are used. The up-down, front-back, left-right are only used for facilitating understanding, and the expressions indicating the direction or position of the file cover 30 are not limited thereto. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the open file cover 30, FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the open file cover 30, FIG. 3 is a right side view showing the open file cover 30, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the open file cover 30, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the file cover 30 when the support piece 3 is rotated to the rear side and the second cover surface portion 12 and the fourth cover surface portion 14 are brought closer.

[0020] The file cover 30 includes a first cover portion 1 and a second cover portion 2. The first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are transparent. Note that the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 only need to be configured such that an image 23 (see FIG. 8) formed on the file covered by the file cover 30 can be visually recognized, and may be translucent.

[0021] The first cover portion 1 comprises a first cover surface portion 11, a second cover surface portion 12, and a support piece 3. The first cover surface portion 11 is substantially rectangular and extends in the vertical direction. The two long sides of the first cover surface portion 11 constitute the right side 11a and the left side 11b of the first cover surface portion 11. The right side 11a corresponds to the first side, and the left side 11b corresponds to the second side. The two short sides of the first cover surface portion 11 constitute the upper side 11c and the lower side 11d of the first cover surface portion 11.

[0022] The second cover surface 12 is roughly rectangular and extends in the vertical direction. The two long sides of the second cover surface 12 constitute the right side 12a and the left side 12b. The two short sides of the second cover surface 12 constitute the top side 12c and the bottom side 12d. The vertical dimension of the second cover surface 12 is slightly shorter than the vertical dimension of the first cover surface 11. The horizontal dimension of the second cover surface 12 is slightly shorter than the horizontal dimension of the first cover surface 11.

[0023] The first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 face each other front to back. The right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11 and the right edge 12a of the second cover surface 12 are connected. The right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11 and the right edge 12a of the second cover surface 12 form a single fold, and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 are folded so that they face each other front to back, with this fold as the boundary. The upper ends of the right edges 11a and 12a of the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 are approximately the same vertically. The lower end of the right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11 is located below the lower end of the right edge 12a of the second cover surface 12.

[0024] The upper edge 11c of the first cover surface 11 and the upper edge 12c of the second cover surface 12 are welded together. The left and right positions of the right ends of both the upper edges 11c and 12c of the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 are approximately the same. The left end of the upper edge 11c of the first cover surface 11 is located to the left of the left end of the upper edge 12c of the second cover surface 12.

[0025] The left edge 12b and the bottom edge 12d of the second cover surface 12 are not connected to any part of the file cover 30's structure. A gap, or in other words, an opening, is formed between the left edge 12b and the bottom edge 12d of the second cover surface 12 and the rear surface of the first cover surface 11.

[0026] The support piece 3 has an isosceles trapezoidal shape, with its upper base being longer than its lower base. The lower edge 11d of the first cover surface 11 and the upper base of the support piece 3 are rotatably connected. The lower edge 11d corresponds to the edge that intersects the first and second edges. As shown in Figure 5, the support piece 3 can rotate forward and backward using its upper base (the lower edge 11d of the first cover surface 11) as the pivot point. In other words, the support piece 3 can be folded forward and backward using its upper base as the crease.

[0027] The support piece 3 may be provided on the second cover portion 2 instead of the first cover portion 1. For example, the lower edge 13d of the third cover surface portion and the upper base of the support piece 3 may be rotatably connected. The lower edge 13d corresponds to the edge that intersects the third and fourth edges.

[0028] The second cover portion 2 has a third cover surface portion 13 and a fourth cover surface portion 14. The third cover surface portion 13 is substantially rectangular and extends in the vertical direction. The two long sides of the third cover surface portion 13 constitute the right side 13a and the left side 13b of the third cover surface portion 13. The right side 13a corresponds to the third side, and the left side 13b corresponds to the fourth side. The two short sides of the third cover surface portion 13 constitute the upper side 13c and the lower side 13d of the third cover surface portion 13.

[0029] The fourth cover surface 14 is roughly rectangular and extends vertically. The two long sides of the fourth cover surface 14 constitute the right side 14a and the left side 14b. The two short sides of the fourth cover surface 14 constitute the top side 14c and the bottom side 14d. The vertical dimension of the fourth cover surface 14 is slightly shorter than the vertical dimension of the third cover surface 13. The horizontal dimension of the fourth cover surface 14 is slightly shorter than the horizontal dimension of the third cover surface 13.

[0030] In the second cover portion 2, the third cover surface portion 13 and the fourth cover surface portion 14 face each other front to back. The left edge 13b of the third cover surface portion 13 and the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface portion 14 are connected. The left edge 13b of the third cover surface portion 13 and the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface portion 14 form a single fold, and the third cover surface portion 13 and the fourth cover surface portion 14 are folded so that they face each other front to back, with this fold as the boundary. The upper ends of the left edges 13b and 14b of the third cover surface portion 13 and the fourth cover surface portion 14 are approximately the same vertical position. The lower end of the right edge 13a of the third cover surface portion 13 is located lower than the lower end of the right edge 14a of the fourth cover surface portion 14.

[0031] The upper edge 13c of the third cover surface 13 and the upper edge 14c of the fourth cover surface 14 are welded together. The left-right positions of the left ends of both upper edges 13c and 14c of the third cover surface 13 and the fourth cover surface 14 are approximately the same. The right end of the upper edge 13c of the third cover surface 13 is located to the right of the right end of the upper edge 14c of the fourth cover surface 14.

[0032] The right-hand side 14a and the bottom side 14d of the fourth cover surface 14 are not connected to any part of the file cover 30's structure. A gap, or in other words, an opening, is formed between the right-hand side 14a and the bottom side 14d of the fourth cover surface 14 and the rear surface of the third cover surface 13.

[0033] The vertical dimension of the left edge 11b of the first cover surface 11 is approximately the same as that of the right edge 13a of the third cover surface 13. In the vertical direction, the upper end position of the left edge 11b of the first cover surface 11 and the upper end position of the right edge 13a of the third cover surface 13 are approximately the same, and the lower end position of the left edge 11b of the first cover surface 11 and the lower end position of the right edge 13a of the third cover surface 13 are approximately the same. The left edge 11b of the first cover surface 11 and the right edge 13a of the third cover surface 13 are rotatably connected. The left edge 11b of the first cover surface 11 and the right edge 13a of the third cover surface 13 constitute a single pivot axis or fold. As shown in Figure 5, the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are rotatable to the right and left, respectively, with the left edge 11b of the first cover surface portion 11 (the right edge 13a of the third cover surface portion 13) as the pivot point. In other words, the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 can be folded to the right and left, respectively, using the left edge 11b of the first cover surface portion 11 (the right edge 13a of the third cover surface portion 13) as the crease. That is, the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are configured to be openable and closable.

[0034] The left-right dimensions of the first cover portion 1 (the dimension between the right side 11a and the left side 11b of the first cover surface portion 11, or the dimension between the right side 12a and the left side 12b of the second cover surface portion 12) are different from the left-right dimensions of the second cover portion 2 (the dimension between the right side 13a and the left side 13b of the third cover surface portion 13, or the dimension between the right side 14a and the left side 14b of the fourth cover surface portion 14). In this embodiment, the left-right dimensions of the first cover portion 1 are shorter than the left-right dimensions of the second cover portion 2.

[0035] Figure 6 is a front view showing the file cover 30 in a closed state, and Figure 7 is a partially enlarged front view of the area enclosed by line VII in Figure 6. Figure 6 shows the state in which the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are closed so that the second cover portion 12 and the fourth cover portion 14 face each other. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, when the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are closed, the left-right dimension of the first cover portion 1 is shorter than the left-right dimension of the second cover portion 2, so the left edge 14b of the fourth cover portion 14 is located to the right of the right edge 11a of the first cover portion 11. Therefore, the right edge 11a of the first cover portion 11 (first cover portion 1) is located to the right of the right edge 11a of the first cover portion 11 in the fourth cover portion 14 (second cover portion 2). The right-hand portion also functions as a handle. The user can easily open the file cover 30 by placing their hand on the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface 14.

[0036] The left-right dimension of the first cover portion 1 may be longer than the left-right dimension of the second cover portion 2. In this case, the portion of the second cover surface portion 12 (first cover portion 1) to the right of the left edge 13b of the third cover surface portion 13 (second cover portion 2) functions as a handle. The left-right dimension of the first cover portion 1 may also be the same as the left-right dimension of the second cover portion 2.

[0037] The attachment of the file cover 30 to the file 20 will be described. Figure 8 is an explanatory front view illustrating the attachment of the file cover 30 to the file 20, Figure 9 is an explanatory perspective view illustrating the attachment of the file cover 30 to the file 20, Figure 10 is a front view showing the file 20 with the file cover 30 attached, and Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XI-XI in Figure 10.

[0038] File 20 comprises a first surface portion 21 and a second surface portion 22. The first surface portion 21 is substantially rectangular and extends in the vertical direction. The two long sides of the first surface portion 21 constitute the right and left sides of the first surface portion 21. The two short sides of the first surface portion 21 constitute the top and bottom sides of the first surface portion 21. A notch 21a is formed on the right side of the first surface portion 21. An image 23 is formed on the front surface of the first surface portion 21. The image 23 may also be formed on the rear surface of the first surface portion 21 and on the front and rear surfaces of the second surface portion 22. The method of forming the image 23 is not limited. For example, the image 23 may be formed by printing or handwriting.

[0039] The second surface 22 is roughly rectangular and extends vertically. The two long sides of the second surface 22 constitute the right and left sides of the second surface 22. The two short sides of the second surface 22 constitute the top and bottom sides of the second surface 22. The vertical dimensions of the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are approximately the same. The left and right dimensions of the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are approximately the same. The entire left sides of the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are connected. The entire bottom sides of the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are connected. As shown in Figure 8, the second surface 22 is visible from the front through the notch 21a. The portion of the second surface 22 visible from the front through the notch 21a functions as a handle. Note that the notch 21a is optional.

[0040] The upper edges of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 are not connected to any of the components of the file 20. The right edges of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 are not connected to any of the components of the file 20. A gap, in other words, an opening is formed between the upper edges of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22, and a gap, in other words, an opening is formed between the right edges of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22.

[0041] The first surface portion 21 is inserted into the gap between the first cover surface portion 11 and the second cover surface portion 12. The first surface portion 21 is housed inside the first cover portion 1. The second surface portion 22 is inserted into the gap between the third cover surface portion 13 and the fourth cover surface portion 14. The second surface portion 22 is housed inside the second cover portion 2. As shown in Figure 11, the support piece 3 is bent to the rear and inserted between the second surface portion 22 and the third cover surface portion 13. The bottom of the file 20 is supported by the support piece 3 and the first cover surface portion 11. This prevents the file 20 from falling out of the file cover 30.

[0042] As shown in Figure 10, the image 23 in file 20 is visible through the transparent file cover 30. Furthermore, even with the file cover 30 attached to file 20, the desired documents can be held between the second cover surface 12 and the fourth cover surface 14. The user can also place merchandise such as photographs, stickers, or badges related to the image 23 between the first cover surface 11 and the first surface 21, or between the third cover surface 13 and the second surface 22. In other words, the file cover 30 is a useful item for supporting one's favorite idol or character.

[0043] In the file cover 30 according to this embodiment, the file 20 is covered by the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2. The image 23 formed on the file 20 is also visible through the file cover 30. Therefore, damage to the file 20 during use can be suppressed. In other words, it is possible to achieve both the use of the file 20 and the protection of the image 23 formed on the file 20. Furthermore, since deterioration of the image 23 is prevented, the user can view their favorite image 23 in a clean state every time they use the file 20.

[0044] Furthermore, when the file cover 30 is closed, the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface 14 and the right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11 are in different positions. Therefore, when a user opens the file cover 30, they can easily reach for the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface 14 or the right edge 12a of the second cover surface 12, making it easy to open the file cover 30.

[0045] Furthermore, the support piece 3 supports the bottom of the file 20. This prevents the file 20 from falling out of the file cover 30.

[0046] Furthermore, the first surface portion 21 is inserted between the first cover surface portion 11 and the second cover surface portion 12, and the second surface portion 22 is inserted between the third cover surface portion 13 and the fourth cover surface portion 14. Therefore, both sides of the first surface portion 21 and both sides of the second surface portion 22 can be protected. In other words, the image 23 can be protected regardless of which surface of the first surface portion 21 or the second surface portion 22 the image 23 is formed on.

[0047] In the above-described embodiment, the file cover 30 does not need to have a support piece 3. Also, the entire lower edges of the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 of the file 20 are connected, but they do not need to be connected.

[0048] Figure 12 is a rear view showing the file cover 30 in an open state, relating to Modification Example 1, in which the configuration has been partially changed. In Modification Example 1, the right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11 and the right edge 12a of the second cover surface 12 are welded together. The upper edge 11c of the first cover surface 11 and the upper edge 12c of the second cover surface 12 are connected. The upper edge 11c of the first cover surface 11 and the upper edge 12c of the second cover surface 12 form a single fold, and the first cover surface 11 and the second cover surface 12 are folded so that they face each other front and back, with this fold as the boundary.

[0049] The left edge 13b of the third cover surface 13 and the left edge 14b of the fourth cover surface 14 are welded together. The upper edge 13c of the third cover surface 13 and the upper edge 14c of the fourth cover surface 14 are connected. The upper edge 13c of the third cover surface 13 and the upper edge 14c of the fourth cover surface 14 form a single fold, and the third cover surface 13 and the fourth cover surface 14 are folded so that they face each other front to back, with this fold as the boundary.

[0050] (Example of change 2) Figure 13 is a rear view showing the file cover 30 in an open state, relating to Modified Example 2, in which the configuration has been partially changed. As shown in Figure 13, in Modified Example 2, the left side of the first cover portion 1 and the right side of the second cover portion 2 are not connected, and the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 are separate. Also, the first cover portion 1 does not have a support piece 3. However, the first cover portion 1 may have a support piece 3. Also, the second cover portion 2 may or may not have a support piece 3. The first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 can individually cover the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22, respectively. Note that the file cover 30 may consist of only one of the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2.

[0051] (Example of change 3) Figure 14 is a rear view showing the open file cover 30 according to modified example 3, in which the configuration has been partially changed. The second cover surface 12 of the first cover part 1 has an L shape along the upper edge 11c and the right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11. The second cover surface 12 comprises an upper band-shaped portion along the upper edge 11c of the first cover surface 11 and a right band-shaped portion along the right edge 11a of the first cover surface 11, with the right end of the upper band-shaped portion and the upper end of the right band-shaped portion being connected. That is, the second cover surface 12 does not have to be configured to completely cover the rear surface of the first surface 21 of the file 20, but may also partially cover it, or it may have a configuration that hooks onto the edge of the rear surface of the first surface 21. Note that the right end of the upper band-shaped portion and the upper end of the right band-shaped portion do not have to be connected.

[0052] The fourth cover surface portion 14 of the second cover portion 2 is L-shaped, following the upper edge 13c and left edge 13b of the third cover surface portion 13. The fourth cover surface portion 14 comprises an upper band-shaped portion following the upper edge 13c of the third cover surface portion 13 and a left band-shaped portion following the left edge 13b of the third cover surface portion 13, with the left end of the upper band-shaped portion and the upper end of the left band-shaped portion being connected. That is, the fourth cover surface portion 14 does not have to be configured to completely cover the rear surface of the second surface portion 22 of the file 20, but may also partially cover it, or it may have a configuration that hooks onto the edge of the rear surface of the second surface portion 22. Note that the left end of the upper band-shaped portion and the upper end of the left band-shaped portion do not have to be connected. In modified example 3, the first cover portion 1 and the second cover portion 2 may be separated, as in modified example 2. Also, the support piece 3 may not be provided.
