Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Incidentally, with the enforcement of the Plastic Resource Recycling Promotion Act, public opinion in Japan is increasingly calling for a reduction in plastic use. Therefore, adding a label pocket made of synthetic resin to the cover body to hold labels for headings, etc., is not desirable from the standpoint of reducing the amount of synthetic resin used.

[0006] This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a technology that can suppress an additional increase in the amount of synthetic resin used in a pocket file in which pockets for storing items such as documents are fixed to the inside of the cover, while making labels for headings etc. visible from the outside of the cover. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve these problems, the present invention employs the following configuration. In other words, the present invention is a pocket file comprising a cover body and a bag-shaped pocket body fixed to the inner surface of the cover body along the vertical direction of the cover body, The fastening portion to which the pocket body is fixed to the cover body includes a first fastening portion extending from the upper end to the lower end of the cover body, and a second fastening portion extending from the lower end to the upper end of the cover body. Between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, a label holding portion is provided in which the pocket body is not fixed to the cover body and a label can be held in the gap between them. The cover body has a label viewing section provided in a portion corresponding to the label holding section, and is formed to allow the label held in the label holding section to be visible.

[0008] According to the pocket file of the present invention, the fastening portion that fastens the pocket body to the cover body is The label holder is composed of a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion that extend along the vertical direction of the cover body, with the lower end of the first fixing portion and the upper end of the second fixing portion spaced apart in the vertical direction of the cover body. A non-fixed region is provided at the spaced-apart location where the pocket body overlaps with the cover body but is not fixed, and this non-fixed region may form a label holding portion. The label holding portion can hold a label, such as a header label, in the gap between the overlapped cover body and the pocket body, and the label can be viewed from the outside of the cover body through the label viewing portion formed on the cover body. Therefore, there is no need to additionally attach a synthetic resin bag-like portion (label pocket) to the outside of the cover body to hold the label, the function of the bag-like portion (label pocket) is ensured by the label holding portion, and an additional increase in the amount of synthetic resin used can be suppressed. The label holding portion may be transparent or translucent.

[0009] In the pocket file according to the present invention, the cover body includes a front cover, a back cover, and a spine, the pocket body is fixed to the inner surface of the spine, and the label viewing portion may be formed on the spine.

[0010] Furthermore, the spine may be made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material.

[0011] Furthermore, the cover body and the pocket body may be formed from a synthetic resin material, and the pocket body may be fixed to the cover body by heat welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0012] Furthermore, the length dimension of the label-holding portion along the vertical direction of the cover body may be 78 mm or more and 85 mm or less. If the length of the label-holding portion is excessively long (large), there is a concern that the adhesive strength of the pocket body to the cover body will be reduced due to the difficulty in ensuring sufficient length of the fixing portion (first fixing portion, second fixing portion). On the other hand, if the length of the label-holding portion is excessively short (small), there is a concern that the vertical dimension of the label held (clamped) by the label-holding portion will be limited. Moreover, there is the reality that many commercially available sticky notes are based on a length of 75 mm (width 25 x length 75 mm, width 75 x length 75 mm). Taking this into account, by defining the length dimension of the label-holding portion as described above, it is possible to ensure sufficient adhesive strength of the pocket body to the cover body while allowing labels of general size to be held universally by the label-holding portion, thereby providing a pocket file with excellent usability.

[0013] Furthermore, the pocket file according to the present invention can be provided as a file in which the label is attached (clamped, held) to the label holding portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a technology that allows labels, such as headings, to be visible from the outside of the cover of a pocket file while suppressing an additional increase in the amount of synthetic resin used. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0015] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a plan view showing the unfolded state of the pocket file according to Embodiment 1. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a rear view of the pocket file according to Embodiment 1 in its unfolded state, viewed from the outer surface side of the cover. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a plan view of a label that is attached to the label holder of a pocket file. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the unfolded state of the pocket file according to Embodiment 2. [Figure 5]FIG. 5 is a rear view of the pocket file according to Embodiment 2 in an unfolded state as viewed from the outer surface side of the cover body.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the pocket file according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that each configuration and combinations thereof in each embodiment are examples, and within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, addition, omission, substitution, and other changes of the configuration are possible as appropriate. Also, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, the up and down visually recognized in FIG. 2 are the "up and down (height)" of the file, and the left and right visually recognized in the same manner are the "left and right (width)" of the file.

[0017] <Embodiment 1> FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an unfolded state (spread state) of a pocket file 1 according to Embodiment 1. The pocket file 1 is a file including a cover body 2 and a pocket body 3 fixed to the cover body 2. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pocket file 1 according to Embodiment 1 in an unfolded state as viewed from the outer surface side of the cover body 2.

[0018] The cover body 2 has a back cover 21, and front covers 22 and back covers 23 continuous to both left and right sides of the back cover 21. The back cover 21, the front covers 22, and the back covers 23 constituting the cover body 2 are integrally formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material. That is, in this aspect, the back cover 21, the front covers 22, and the back covers 23 in the cover body 2 are formed of, for example, a common resin sheet material. Also, the back cover 21 in the cover body 2 and the front and back covers 22, 23 are connected via folding lines 4, 4. As an example, the back cover 21, the front covers 22, and the back covers 23 have a rectangular shape, and their upper limit dimensions are equal to each other. Also, for example, the front covers 22 and the back covers 23 have the same size, and the width dimension of the back cover 21 is shorter than the width dimensions of the front covers 22 and the back covers 23.

[0019] Between the back cover 21 and the front and back covers 22 and 23, there are bending lines 4, 4 extending in the vertical direction. The bending lines 4, 4 are formed, for example, as heat hinge-like bending lines. For example, the bending lines 4, 4 can be formed by melting the surface on the inner surface side of the resin sheet material constituting the cover body 2 into a V shape using a press or the like.

[0020] The pocket body 3 forms a bag shape with the upper end side open in FIG. 1, and it is possible to accommodate objects to be held such as documents (papers) inside from its open end. The pocket body 3 is formed, for example, of a synthetic resin film material that is transparent or translucent. The pocket file 1 includes, as an example, a plurality of pocket bodies 3.

[0021] One side edge in the left - right direction of the pocket body 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover body 2 (back cover 21) via the fixing portion 5. In the pocket body 3, the side edge fixed to the inner surface of the cover body 2 (back cover 21) is called the "base end side edge 31", and the other side edge is called the "free end side edge 32". For example, the base end side edge 31 and the free end side edge 32 of the pocket body are parallel. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 211 is the inner surface of the back cover 21, reference numeral 221 is the inner surface of the front cover 22, and reference numeral 231 is the inner surface of the back cover 23.

[0022] The pocket body 3 includes a bottom edge 33 connecting the lower ends of the base end side edge 31 and the free end side edge 32, and an opening edge 34 connecting the upper ends thereof. The opening edge 34 of the pocket body 3 is open, and it is possible to accommodate objects to be stored such as documents (papers) inside the pocket through the opening edge 34 or take them out from inside the pocket. For example, the bottom edge 33 and the opening edge 34 of the pocket body 3 are parallel to each other and extend in a direction orthogonal to the base end side edge 31 and the free end side edge 32. The planar shape of the pocket body 3 is defined as a rectangular shape by the base end side edge 31, the free end side edge 32, the bottom edge 33, and the opening edge 34. As shown in FIG. 1, the pocket body 3 has a size that fits within the plane of the front cover 22 and the back cover 23.

[0023] For example, the pocket body 3 may be fixed to the cover body 2 (spine 21) by heat welding or ultrasonic welding. The pocket body 3 may be formed from a synthetic resin material suitable for welding (e.g., a thermoplastic synthetic resin film material or sheet material), such as a polypropylene film or a polyvinyl chloride film. The cover body 2 may also be formed from a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride (e.g., a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet material) that has excellent weldability with the pocket body 3.

[0024] Next, the fastening portion 5 that secures the pocket body 3 to the cover body 2 (spine 21) will be described. The fastening portion 5 includes a first fastening portion 51 located on the upper end UE side of the cover body 2 (spine 21) and a second fastening portion 52 located on the lower end BE side of the cover body 2 (spine 21). The first fastening portion 51 and the second fastening portion 52 extend along the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21). In the example shown in Figure 1, the first fastening portion 51 and the second fastening portion 52 are arranged coaxially so as to pass through the center line CL1 that passes through the center in the width direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21) and extends parallel to the vertical direction.

[0025] The first fastening portion 51 extends from the upper end UE side to the lower end BE side of the cover body 2 (spine 21). In the example shown in Figure 1, the first fastening portion 51 extends in a straight line from the upper end UE or its vicinity toward the lower end BE side. The second fastening portion 52 extends from the lower end BE side to the upper end UE side of the cover body 2 (spine 21). In the example shown in Figure 1, the second fastening portion 52 extends in a straight line from the lower end BE or its vicinity toward the upper end UE side of the cover body 2 (spine 21).

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the sum of the lengths of the first fastening portion 51 and the second fastening portion 52 along the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21) is smaller than the vertical (height) dimension of the cover body 2 (spine 21). Furthermore, the first fastening portion 51 and the second fastening portion 52 are spaced apart so as to be separated in the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21). As a result, a non-fastened area is formed between the first fastening portion 51 and the second fastening portion 52 where the pocket body 3 is not fastened to the cover body 2 (spine 21). In this embodiment, the pocket file 1 has a label holding portion 6 formed by this non-fastened area, which holds labels such as headings in the pocket file 1. In other words, the label holding portion 6 is formed by being surrounded by the lower end of the first fixing portion 51, the upper end of the second fixing portion 52, the inner surface 211 of the cover body 2 (spine 21), and the pocket body 3. The label inserted into the gap formed between the inner surface 211 of the cover body 2 (spine 21) and the pocket body 3 is held between the two, and the lower end of the first fixing portion 51 and the upper end of the second fixing portion 52 restrict the vertical movement of the label, thereby enabling the label to be attached (held) in the pocket file 1. In Figure 1, the area enclosed by the dashed line between the first fixing portion 51 and the second fixing portion 52 is an example of the area of ​​the label holding portion 6, and for convenience, this area is marked with dot hatching.

[0027] Figure 3 is a plan view of a label 7 attached to the label holder 6 of a pocket file 1. However, the form of the label 7 shown in Figure 3 is just one example of a label that can be attached to the label holder 6, and is not limited to this. In the example shown in Figure 3, the label 7 is formed as a sheet having a roughly square planar shape. Reference numeral 71 indicates the label display surface of the label 7. The label display surface 71 of the label 7 is the surface that displays the headings of the pocket file 1. Of the label 7, the surface located on the back side (back side) of the label display surface is called the "back side (back)". When the label 7 is viewed from the front from the label display surface side, the top, bottom, left, and right edges are called the label top edge 72, label bottom edge 73, label left edge 74, and label right edge 75. The label 7 is formed from, for example, a sheet of paper, but its material is not particularly limited. Reference numeral CL2 indicates a center line that passes through the center in the width direction of the label 7 and extends parallel to the vertical direction.

[0028] On the label display surface 71 of label 7, a first label display area 76 is formed in the center in the width direction, and a second label display area 77 is formed to the side of the first label display area 76 with a gap in between. The extent of the first label display area 76 and the second label display area 77 is shown by a dashed line in Figure 3. The width dimensions of the first label display area 76 and the second label display area 77 are set to be equal to the width dimension of the spine 21 on which the label holding part 6 is formed. The first label display area 76 has, for example, the product name of the pocket file 1 pre-printed (as a default). The second label display area 77 is a free space for, for example, the user of the pocket file 1 to freely write headings by hand or attach a sticker label with headings printed on it. Perforations 78 are provided at the boundary between the second label display area 77 and the areas on both sides of it, extending from the upper edge 72 to the lower edge 73 of the label. Furthermore, the label display surface 71 may have explanatory labels 79A to 79C printed on it to explain how to use the label 7, as shown in Figure 3. The presence or absence of perforations 78 and explanatory labels 79A to 79C on the label 7 is optional. Also, the label 7 shown in Figure 3 has multiple label display areas on the label display surface 71, but is not limited to this.

[0029] As described above, the label 7 illustrated in Figure 3 is attached (held) to the label holding part 6 of the pocket file 1 by being inserted into the gap between the inner surface 211 of the cover body 2 (spine cover 21) formed in the non-adherent area of ​​the pocket body 3 and the pocket body 3. In Figure 1, the label 7 attached to the label holding part 6 is shown by a dashed line. The label 7 is attached to the label holding part 6 so that the label display surface 71 faces the inner surface of the cover body 2.

[0030] Here, the length of the label holding portion 6 along the top and bottom of the cover body 2 (spine 21) may be set to be the same as the top and bottom dimensions (height dimension) of the label 7, or slightly larger (for example, by a few millimeters). This allows for smooth attachment of the label 7 to the label holding portion 6 of the pocket file 1. Furthermore, the label 7 attached to the label holding portion 6 is less likely to fall out of the label holding portion 6 against the user's intention, providing a pocket file 1 that is easy to use.

[0031] In addition, although not shown in the diagram, when the pocket file 1 is closed, that is, when the fold lines 4,4 are folded, if the width of the label 7 attached to the label holder 6 is greater than the distance between the fold lines 4,4, the label 7 will be folded along the fold lines 4,4, thereby restricting its movement in the width direction. As a result, the label 7 can be attached to the label holder 6 more securely.

[0032] Incidentally, the reality is that many commercially available sticky notes are based on a length of 75 mm (25 mm wide x 75 mm long, 75 mm wide x 75 mm long). Therefore, the length of the label holding part 6 may be between 78 mm and 85 mm. This prevents the length of the label holding part 6 from becoming excessively long. In other words, it becomes easier to secure the length of the fixing part 5 (first fixing part 51, second fixing part 52), and sufficient fixing strength of the pocket body 3 to the cover body 2 can be ensured. Also, since the length of the label holding part 6 will not become excessively short, the vertical dimension of the label 7 held (clamped) by the label holding part 6 is not restricted.

[0033] As described above, while ensuring sufficient adhesion strength between the pocket body 3 and the cover body 2, a standard-sized label 7 can be universally held by the label holding part 6, providing a highly user-friendly pocket file 1. Of course, by defining the length of the label 7 as described above, the label 7 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the label holding part 6, and moreover, the label 7 attached to the label holding part 6 is less likely to fall out against the user's intention, resulting in a highly user-friendly product.

[0034] Furthermore, the cover body 2 of the pocket file 1 has a transparent or translucent label viewing area 8 provided in the area corresponding to the label holding portion 6. In the example shown in Figure 1, the label holding portion 6 is provided on the spine 21 of the cover body 2. Therefore, the label viewing area 8 is formed in the area of ​​the spine 21 corresponding to the label holding portion 6. For example, at least the transparent or translucent label viewing area 8 is formed in the area of ​​the spine 21 where the label holding portion 6 is formed. In Figure 2, the dot hatching area shows an example of the area where the label viewing area 8 is formed. Of course, as will be described later, the spine 21 may be formed of a transparent or translucent material not only in the area corresponding to the label holding portion 6, but also in a wider area (for example, the entire spine 21).

[0035] As described above, the label viewing section 8 is transparent or semi-transparent, allowing the user (e.g., the user) to see through the label viewing section 8 to the label 7 attached to the label holding section 6. In other words, the user can see the label 7 (label display surface 71) located inside the cover body 2 (spine 21) from the outer surface side and identify the headings, etc., displayed on the label display surface 71. Furthermore, according to the pocket file 1 of this embodiment, there is no need to additionally attach a label pocket made of synthetic resin to the outside of the cover body 2 to hold the label 7. The function of the label pocket is ensured by the label holding section 6, and an additional increase in the amount of synthetic resin used can be suppressed. In other words, it is possible to provide a pocket file 1 that allows the label 7 for headings, etc., to be visible from the outside of the cover body 2 while suppressing an additional increase in the amount of synthetic resin used.

[0036] The label-visibility portion 8 of the cover body 2 only needs to be formed in the portion corresponding to the label-holding portion 6. For example, the cover body 2 of the pocket file 1 in this embodiment may have a spine 21 made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material. Of course, only the portion of the spine 21 in which the label-visibility portion 8 should be formed (the portion corresponding to the label-holding portion 6) may be made of a transparent or translucent material, or the entire spine 21 may be made of a transparent or translucent material. In addition to the spine 21 of the cover body 2, the front cover 22 and / or back cover 23 may also be made of a transparent or translucent material.

[0037] Furthermore, the pocket file 1 may be distributed to the market with the label 7 attached to the label holding part 6. For example, when the pocket file 1 is sold, the label 7 may be attached to the label holding part 6 in such a manner that the first label display area 76 of the label display surface 71 is positioned inside the spine 21. By sliding the label 7 attached to the label holding part 6, the user can arbitrarily select whether to position the first label display area 76 or the second label display area 77 inside the spine 21. In addition, since perforations 78 are provided at the boundary between the second label display area 77 and the areas on both sides of the label 7, it is easy to position the second label display area 77 inside the spine 21, and it is also easy to fold the label 7 along the perforations 78. Thus, the pocket file 1 according to this embodiment allows switching between the label display areas 76 and 77 with a simple action, and is highly user-friendly.

[0038] As explained in Figure 3, since the label 7 has an explanatory label 79A printed on it, the user can intuitively and easily recognize that they can switch between the label display areas 76 and 77 by sliding the label 7 attached to the label holder 6 in the direction of the arrow related to the explanatory label 79A. Of course, the user may attach a different label to the label holder 6 instead of the label 7 shown in Figure 3. Typically, a commercially available sticky note may be attached to the label holder 6. As described above, the label holder 6 of the pocket file 1 has a length suitable for attaching sticky notes of a size that is commonly available.

[0039] Up to this point, examples have been given of the form in which at least the label viewing area 8 is formed from a transparent or translucent material. However, in addition to this form, for example, the portion of the spine 21 corresponding to the label holding portion 6 may be cut out, and the label viewing area 8 may be formed by the cut-out hole (cut-out opening). In this form, the label 7 held by the label holding portion 6 is exposed without being covered by the spine 21, so the label 7 can be viewed without relying on transparency. Therefore, it is not a question whether any part of the cover body 2 is formed from a transparent or translucent material or not. This also makes it possible to increase the degree of freedom in the material used for the pocket file 1.

[0040] In such cases, if the label 7 is to be held in the gap between the inner surface 211 of the spine 21 and the pocket body 3, it is preferable that the vertical length of the label viewing portion 8 be shorter than the vertical length of the label holding portion 6 (the distance between the lower end of the first fixing portion 51 and the upper end of the second fixing portion 52). By doing so, when attaching the label 7 to the label holding portion 6, the portion of the spine 21 corresponding to the difference in distance between the two will come into contact with the label 7, making it easier to hold the label 7.

[0041] In another embodiment, the label holding portion 6 may be formed by the lower end of the first fixing portion 51, the upper end of the second fixing portion 52, the pocket body 3, the inner surface 221 of the front cover 22, and the inner surface 231 of the back cover 23, and the label 7 may be held in the label holding portion 6 by either side of the label 7 contacting the two inner surfaces. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the width of the label 7 is set to a dimension greater than the distance between the fold lines 4, 4, but the relationship between the vertical lengths of the label viewing portion 8 and the label holding portion 6 is not specified.

[0042] <Embodiment 2> Next, we will describe the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2. The basic structure of the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2 is the same as that of the pocket file 1 described in Embodiment 1.

[0043] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the unfolded state of the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2. Figure 5 is a rear view of the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2 in the unfolded state, viewed from the outer surface side of the cover. In the following, for components of the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2 that are common with the pocket file 1 described in Embodiment 1, the same reference numerals are used, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0044] In the pocket file 1 described in Figure 1, the fastening parts 5 (first fastening part 51 and second fastening part 52) ​​are arranged in a single row at a position passing through the center line CL1 of the spine 21. However, in the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2, the fastening parts 5 (first fastening part 51 and second fastening part 52) ​​are arranged in two rows in the width direction of the spine 21. Furthermore, in the pocket file 1A according to Embodiment 2, for example, the width dimension of the spine 21 is wider than that of Embodiment 1, and the number of pocket bodies 3 fixed to the cover body 2 (spine 21) is also greater than that of Embodiment 1. In other respects, the pocket file 1A has substantially the same structure as the pocket file 1 according to Embodiment 1.

[0045] In the example shown in Figure 4, the fastening portion 5 provided on the spine 21 includes a pair of first fastening portions 51A, 51B and a pair of second fastening portions 52A, 52B. The pair of first fastening portions 51A, 51B are arranged parallel to each other with a gap in the width direction of the spine 21. Similarly, the pair of second fastening portions 52A, 52B are arranged parallel to each other with a gap in the width direction of the spine 21. Note that both the pair of first fastening portions 51A, 51B and the pair of second fastening portions 52A, 52B extend along the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21).

[0046] The first fixing portion 51A and the second fixing portion 52A are spaced apart so as to be separated in the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21). Similarly, the first fixing portion 51B and the second fixing portion 52B are spaced apart so as to be separated in the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21). As a result, a non-fixed area is formed between the pair of first fixing portions 51A, 51B and the pair of second fixing portions 52A, 52B where the pocket body 3 is not fixed to the cover body 2 (spine 21), and this non-fixed area functions as a label holding portion 6. For example, the first fixing portion 51A and the second fixing portion 52A are coaxially positioned at the same location in the width direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21). For example, the first fixing portion 51B and the second fixing portion 52B are coaxially positioned at the same location in the width direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21).

The second fastening portions 52A and 52B extend in a straight line from the lower end BE of the cover body 2 (spine 21) or its vicinity toward the upper end UE to an intermediate position.

[0048] For example, in the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21), the positions of the upper ends 511 of the first fastening parts 51A and 51B and the positions of the lower ends 512 of the first fastening parts 51A and 51B may be equal. Also, for example, in the vertical direction of the cover body 2 (spine 21), the positions of the upper ends 521 of the second fastening parts 52A and 52B and the positions of the lower ends 522 of the second fastening parts 52A and 52B may be equal. A label holding part 6 is provided in the non-fastened area sandwiched between the lower end 512 of each first fastening part 51A and 51B and the upper end 521 of each second fastening part 52A and 52B.

[0049] In the cover body 2 of the pocket file 1A, a transparent or translucent label viewing section 8 is provided in the area corresponding to the label holding section 6. This makes it possible to view the label 7 attached to the label holding section 6 from the outside of the cover body 2 through the label viewing section 8, achieving the same technical effects as the pocket file 1 according to Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the fastening sections 5 (first fastening section 51 and second fastening section 52) are arranged in two rows on the spine 21 has been described, but configurations with three or more rows are also possible.

[0050] While embodiments of the pocket file according to this disclosure have been described above, the pocket file according to this disclosure is not limited by the embodiments, but is limited only by the claims. For example, in each of the embodiments described above, an embodiment in which the pocket body 3 is fixed to the spine 21 of the cover body 2 has been described, but the position in which the pocket body 3 is fixed to the cover body 2 is not particularly limited. For example, the pocket body 3 may be fixed to the front cover 22 or the back cover 23. In other words, as long as the label 7 attached to the label holding part 6 formed on the inside of the cover body 2 is visible from the outside of the cover body 2 through the label viewing part 8, the pocket file according to this disclosure can adopt various embodiments.
