Bookbinding jigs and methods of bookbinding using them.

Abstract

The objective is to provide a jig and a binding and storage method that utilizes it, which allows for binding or creating a book-like format without destructive processing such as binding, perforating, or gluing paper or printed materials; which allows for increasing or decreasing the number of pages; which enables organization, sorting, and re-editing; which facilitates storage in existing binders and other jigs, as well as storage and management of each binding format; and which has the function of easily returning the binding format corresponding to pages to a single-sheet state as needed. [Solution] Paper is passed through a jig having an opening corresponding to the paper width and the binder mechanism, or an opening corresponding to both. The paper is then folded in half in the middle to create a bound book-like format, and each jig, or multiple jigs, are stored by binding them together in a binder or other binding device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method that can bind multiple single sheets of paper into a bound book or a format equivalent to a bound book simply and quickly without performing destructive processing, and can easily add or delete sheets corresponding to pages, bind them to an existing binder, etc., and easily return them to the state of single sheets.

Background Art

[0002] There are various single sheets of paper on the market. In addition, with the spread of personal computers, printing has become more personalized, and the opportunities for individuals and companies to print have increased. Also, a large number of documents have been digitized and replaced by printed forms such as stapled pamphlets and leaflets with fewer pages that simplify information and the method of providing it.

[0003] As a known method for efficiently managing many single sheets of paper, printed materials with a small number of pages, etc., generated with the digitization of character information and the personalization of printing, methods such as using binding machines or binders such as staplers and adhesives to bind them are used. Also, in the case of pamphlets with a small number of pages bound in the middle, when using an existing binder for sorting and storage, it is necessary to make holes according to the binder part. Also, in order to sort and store the bound single sheets of paper, it is necessary to further perform processing such as using binders or storage tools such as binders and attaching hanging strings.

[0004] For any method, since destructive processing such as perforating the paper itself or applying an adhesive is performed, part of the recorded information such as printing may be lost and it may become an irreparable state. Also, in order to return to the state of single sheets again, further destructive actions such as removing needles or cutting the adhesive part are required. Furthermore, when it becomes necessary to insert a page in between, the processing becomes more complicated and the paper and the recorded content may be severely damaged.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a jig that can bind or create a book-like format from multiple single sheets of paper or small-page brochures, leaflets, etc., without destructive processing such as binding or gluing, allows for increasing or decreasing the number of sheets of paper corresponding to pages, enables organization, sorting, and re-editing, facilitates storage in existing binders and other jigs, and facilitates storage and management according to the book format, and has the function of easily returning the book format corresponding to pages to a single-sheet state as needed, as well as a bookbinding and storage method using this jig. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a binding jig having a structure with an opening corresponding to the width of the paper and the binding mechanism of a pre-made binder, or both, as well as the structure of the jig and a method of using the jig for storage and organization in a form suitable for the purpose. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] Without destructive processing of the paper, it is possible to easily and quickly bind documents or create a format equivalent to a bound book. As needed, individual sheets can be created, or additional sheets equivalent to pages can be added. This facilitates the aggregation, separation, division, organization, and storage of various types of paper, allowing for document storage and rebinding without damaging important records or information on the paper. Furthermore, when the paper is discarded, it is easily recycled as it does not contain impurities such as needles, thread, or glue. Additionally, by making the jig itself from paper or easily recyclable materials, 100% recycling is possible. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] As shown in 101 of Figure 1, a jig may be used that has multiple openings on a flat plate, such as an opening 105 corresponding to the width of the paper and an opening 106 corresponding to the binding mechanism of a pre-made binder; or as shown in 102, a jig may have an opening 107 on a flat plate that corresponds to both the width of the paper and the binding mechanism of a pre-made binder; or a jig with a shape like 103 or 104, which has openings like 101 or 102 made by bending a rod-shaped material. Alternatively, a jig with a shape that has a similar function may be used.

[0009] Using jig 101 as an example, as shown in 201 of Figure 2, the required number of single sheets or multiple single sheets folded in half, or bound materials such as saddle-stitched paper, are passed through the opening 105.

[0010] Move the jig of the present invention in the direction of the arrow as shown in 202, and position it on the back of the printed material as shown in 203.

[0011] As shown in 204, if you want to return the paper to a single sheet, remove only the necessary sheets from the jig in the direction of the arrow. If you want to add more sheets, insert the necessary number of sheets in the correct order in the direction of the arrow.

[0012] As shown in Figure 3, 301, the jigs can be bound in a pre-made binder, or hung on a hook as shown in 302, for storage, organization, and safekeeping. They can also be bundled together with binding rings as shown in 303, or each jig of the present invention can be stored as a single bound item as shown in 304.

[0013] Because of its simple structure, it is easy to process and produce, can be manufactured at low cost and introduced into civilian use, and because it is molded from a single material, it is also easy to recycle. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
