AI Technical Summary
Conventional clear files are limited in functionality, allowing only two-dimensional graphic display and cannot accommodate moving articles within their structure.
A thin film sheet material is Thomson processed to form a bag-shaped cover with a band, enabling articles to move within the cover when the file is moved, and is secured by adhesive tabs.
The solution allows for a dynamic display of articles within the clear file, enhancing its utility and preventing them from falling out.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention is primarily concerned with a novelty item that can be used for a variety of purposes and is highly convenient for film sheet materials. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional clear files were uniform in shape and could only be used as clear files, so they were simply discarded after use. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] Conventional clear files could only display graphics through printing, and could only express advertisements and characters in two dimensions. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] A thin film sheet material that has been subjected to offset printing is Thomson processed to form a bag-shaped cover, inside which constituent articles do not fall off and the articles move within the bag-shaped cover when the clear file is moved back and forth and side to side. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] Figure 1 is an exploded view of the mechanical clear file (1) of this invention. The mechanical clear file (1) comprises a cover (H1), a fold (a) connected to (H2), and four items (p1), (p2), (p3), and (p4). The majority of the cover is punched out using a Thomson process, and a band (O) is partially attached to (H2) at (b). A hole (K) about 4 cm in diameter is drilled in the center of the fold (a) connecting covers (H1) and (H2). Cover (H1) also has adhesive tabs (n1) and (n2) at the top and bottom for pressure bonding.
[0007] Figure 2 shows the folded state of the mechanical clear file (1) of this invention. At this time, the mechanical file (1) overlaps the cover (H1) by folding (H2) (O) along the fold lines (a) and (b), and the cover (H1) is fixed in place by the adhesive tabs (n1) and (n2) for crimping, forming a bag-like shape. At this time, the tip of the band (O) is exposed through the hole (K) in the center of the fold line (a).
[0008] Figure 3 shows the part folded according to crease diagram 2 folded again with crease (g) to form a clear file. At this time, by pulling out the tip of the band (O) exposed from the hole (K) in the center of crease (a) while pressing the surface of the cover (H1), the four items (p1), (p2), (p3), and (p4) held by the band (O) remain inside the cover (H1), which has its top and bottom pressed together.

Claims
1. A Karakuri clear file is characterized by having an item with an area similar to that of a continuous cover portion, with a crease created by Thomson processing on the side of the part that corresponds to the cover of a normal clear file, and also having a strip-shaped item that has been punched out by Thomson processing from approximately the center of the right side of the item and partially fastened, and four items that have been given arbitrary shapes by Thomson processing on both sides and fastened in a state where most of the parts have been punched out.
2. The clear file described in claim 1 is a Karakuri clear file characterized in that a belt-shaped item or an item with the same area as the cover is folded inward using the fold lines made by Thomson processing as a fulcrum, and is then pressed together by the adhesive tabs on the top and bottom of the cover to form a bag-like shape.
3. When the belt-shaped object with four items described in claim 1 is folded along the creases, the cover and the items with the same area as the cover protrude their tips from holes made in the part where the creases are continuous. At this time, by holding the cover with your hand and pulling out the belt-shaped items protruding from the holes, the four items that were attached to the belt-shaped item will fall off and remain inside the bag-shaped clear file cover.
4. 2. The tangled clear file according to claim 1, wherein the printing on the material is performed by printing pictures, letters, or photographs on the back side of the material using offset printing or inkjet printing.
