Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a binder capable of bundling papers for storage and transportation. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, cardboard boxes are commonly used in companies and homes as containers for delivery and other transportation, and must be disposed of after transportation, but even if the cardboard boxes are crushed and flattened, they are inconvenient to carry around as they are, and especially at homes, cardboard boxes are collected on specific days, and until then the cardboard sheets must 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 and other paper bundles (hereinafter referred to as cardboard, etc.), but if there is no such place, they will have to be stored in spaces such as the living room, kitchen, or entrance, and in this case, leaning them up will save space, but they are slippery, so they need to be tied up with plastic string one by one, making storage a pain.

[0003] Prior Document 1 discloses a punching and tying device. This technology is a device for punching and tying cardboard sheets with a string, which is composed of a pole with a sharp tip and a hook notch and a base that supports the pole, and when using the device, the bundled cardboard sheets are pierced, and after the pole penetrates the cardboard sheets, the string is hooked on the hook notch at the tip of the pole that penetrates the cardboard sheets, and the cord is passed through the cardboard sheets by pulling it out, and the cardboard sheets can be tied together. It is also disclosed that a safety cap is provided at the tip of the pole to further tie the cardboard sheets together after the pole penetrates. However, such a pole requires the user to grab the cardboard sheets every time during transportation or storage, which causes the user to slip. Furthermore, such a pole has a sharp tip when in use, which increases the possibility of injury, and is therefore unsafe to use, especially in a home environment where children are present.

[0009] The bundling tool of this embodiment is used when bundling cardboard boxes or the like for storage and transportation. The binding tool has a handle 1 (main body) of a frame of C type or a shape having an equivalent function (such as F type), and one or more rod-shaped bodies 2 that penetrate the screw mechanism (screw hole in the main body) at one end of the handle 1 and reach the other end, at least one tip of the rod-shaped body 2 has a recess for hanging a string, the other end of the rod-shaped body 2 has a handle 3 for operating the screw mechanism, and 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) has a plurality of members, and the plurality of members are connected to one end and the other end of the main body so that they can move in a direction away from or toward each other. The rod-shaped body preferably has a tapered tip, and is preferably a rod-shaped body with a sharp tip. In addition, the material is preferably metal from the viewpoint of durability, and specifically, iron, stainless steel, copper, etc. are preferable. Stainless steel, which is less likely to rust, is the most preferable material.

[0010] The bundling tool can be safely used to pierce cardboard boxes or the like with a rod-shaped body 2, and can be bundled together by integrating the pieces with a handle 1, and can be carried using the handle 1. By using multiple bundling tools, the bundling tool can be stored upright, can be easily transported, and can be tied together with a string. The handle 1 of the bundling tool is characterized in that the tip is made of a rod-shaped body 2.

[0011] The handle 1 is preferably U-shaped or arch-shaped like a C-clamp, but may be any shape such as a heart or star shape as shown in FIG. 2, as long as it fulfills 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, the work becomes difficult and the number of cardboard boxes to be bundled decreases, and if it is more than 20 cm, the number of cardboard boxes to be carried increases, which may make the cardboard boxes heavy, and when the number of cardboard boxes is small, the knotted cardboard boxes move unsteadily and make knotting difficult. The material of the handle 1 may be any material that can be fixed, such as wood, metal, or plastic, but metal is preferable for 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 cylindrical shape with a diameter of 0.5 to 1 cm, or a polygonal column, cone, cylinder, or the like. The tip of the rod-shaped body 2 may have any shape that can penetrate materials such as cardboard, but it is preferable that the tip 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 the tip is sharp 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 the string to be hooked and passed through a cardboard or the like through which the string is passed, and the string can be pulled out and knotted. The recess may have any shape as long as it is a shape that allows the string to be hooked.

[0014] The other end of the tip 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 enables 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 preferable 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 may 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 shift during storage or transportation after penetrating the cardboard or the like. In particular, it is most preferable that the structure be such that the tip of the rod-shaped body can be stored and fixed.

[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 for enabling 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 so long as the cardboard or the like that has been inserted into the rod-shaped body 2 can be smoothly removed from the rod-shaped body 2, but in order to enable 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 are connected by a hinge or the like, or that the multiple members are in contact with each other and connected movably so as to slide.

[0017] In addition, the connecting portion 5, which enables 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, etc. EXAMPLES
