The present invention relates to a file binder that holds a plurality of stacked leaves, a printed matter set including the file binder, a printed matter suitable for installment into the file binder, and a manufacturing method suitable for manufacture of the printed matter.
As a means for binding a plurality of leaves (also referred to as the “leaf group”) on which monthly tables of a calendar and the like are printed, a means of catching up and binding a top part of the leaf group with a top fitting, a means of binding by bonding a binding tool with an adhesive liquid, a means of binding with rings passing through punched holes formed in a top part, a means of binding by letting a wire through a large number of punched holes formed along a top part, and the like are known (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
In these known means, the leaf group and the binding tool are integrally combined. Thus, in a case where a defective item of printing failure or the like is generated in some leaves among the leaf group, replacement of only the defective item is not easily performed, and there is a problem that the entire bound leaf group is unavoidably disposed. Additionally, in a case where a user disposes the bound leaf group after use, the leaf group and the binding tool are not easily separated. Thus, there is a problem that the leaf group is unavoidably disposed while the leaf group and the binding tool are combined.
Meanwhile, the same applicant has proposed file binders capable of detachably binding a leaf group and putting the leaf group on a table, a wall surface, or the like (for example, Patent Documents 3 to 6). Further, a file binder into and from which a leaf group is freely installed and detached, the file binder to be provided at furthermore low cost has been desired.

The present invention is achieved in consideration of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a file binder into and from which a leaf group is freely installed and detached, the file binder to be provided at lower cost. Another object of the present invention is to provide a printed matter set including the file binder, and a leaf group serving as an object to be bound. Further, still another object of the present invention is to provide a printed matter suitable for installment into the file binder. Further, yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method suitable for manufacture of the printed matter.
In order to solve the above problems and to achieve the above objects, a file binder according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a back side plate member, a projecting member, and a front side plate member. A lower end part of the back side plate member is bent forward. The projecting member projects forward from a part of the back side plate member higher than the lower end part. The front side plate member extends downward from a front end part of the projecting member. The front side plate member further extends downward beyond a front end edge of the lower end part of the back side plate member, and forms a gap from the front end edge.
With this configuration, a bag shape space having the gap on the side of the front side plate member at a lower end is formed between the back side plate member and the front side plate member. By folding upper end parts of a plurality of leaves and inserting the folded upper end parts into the bag shape space, the upper end parts of the plurality of leaves can be locked in the space. In such a way, only by stacking the plurality of leaves whose upper end parts are folded, the plurality of leaves can be simply bound. As one mode of the file binder, it can be formed in a mode suitable for hanging the plurality of leaves in a bound state, such as a mode where the back side plate member is formed in a mode suitable for attachment to a wall surface or the like. The plurality of leaves are not necessarily bound by glue or the like. Thus, after printing is done on the plurality of leaves, some leaves can be easily replaced.
In a state where the folded upper end parts of the plurality of leaves are bound each other by a simple and convenient means such as a stapler, the plurality of leaves can also be installed into the file binder. In this case, a provider of the plurality of leaves can provide the plurality of leaves in an unbound state to an end user, and binding by the means of a stapler or the like can be left to the end user. Thereby, the provider can easily replace some leaves after printing is done on the plurality of leaves. In any manner of installment, the plurality of leaves can be easily installed into and detached from the file binder. Thus, only the plurality of leaves can be easily separated and disposed. Further, a structure of the file binder is plain. Thus, in comparison to a conventional file binder requiring an open and close mechanism, the file binder can be manufactured at lower cost.
A file binder according to a second aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to the first aspect, further including at least one pillar shape protruding portion protruding backward from a back surface of the front side plate member. The at least one pillar shape protruding portion is placed lower than a lowermost end of the back side plate member, and extends backward beyond the front end edge of the back side plate member.
With this configuration, by forming at least one through hole in a common part in the vicinity of the upper end parts of the plurality of leaves and inserting the at least one pillar shape protruding portion into the at least one through hole, the plurality of leaves can be bound in a state where the leaves are less detachable from the file binder. Without folding the upper end parts of the plurality of leaves and without binding the upper end parts by the means of a stapler or the like, the plurality of leaves can be bound each other. Since the at least one pillar shape protruding portion extends backward beyond the front end edge of the back side plate member, the plurality of leaves extending to an exterior from the bag shape space through the gap between this front end edge and the front side plate member is less detachable from the at least one pillar shape protruding portion.
A file binder according to a third aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to the second aspect, wherein the at least one pillar shape protruding portion protrudes by such length that, when the back side plate member is abutted with a wall surface, a tip is substantially abutted with the wall surface.
With this configuration, when the file binder is attached to the wall surface in such a manner that the back side plate member is abutted with the wall surface, the at least one pillar shape protruding portion is substantially abutted with the wall surface. Thus, a posture of the file binder is stabilized on the wall surface.
A file binder according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to any of the first to third aspects, wherein at least one of right and left end edges of the back side plate member retreats to a center side with respect to a corresponding one of right and left end edges of the front side plate member.
With this configuration, a task of installing the leaves into the file binder performed by stacking the plurality of leaves and letting the leaves horizontally slide from at least one of the right and left end edges of the front side plate member and the back side plate member can easily be done.
A file binder according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to any of the first to fourth aspects, wherein an opening portion is formed in part of the front side plate member.
With this configuration, through the opening portion, printing done on a corresponding part of a leaf placed on the foremost side of the plurality of leaves can be seen.
A file binder according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to any of the first to fourth aspects, wherein at least part of the front side plate member is transparent.
With this configuration, through the transparent part, printing done on a corresponding part of a leaf placed on the foremost side of the plurality of leaves can be seen.
A file binder according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to any of the first to sixth aspects, wherein a through hole passing through a part of the back side plate member higher than the projecting member in a back and forth direction is formed.
With this configuration, by utilizing the through hole formed in the back side plate member, the file binder can be locked onto the wall surface or the like with a locking tool such as a pushpin. Since the through hole is placed in the part higher than the projecting member, the posture of the file binder is stabilized.
A file binder according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the file binder according to the second aspect, wherein the at least one pillar shape protruding portion has, at a tip part, a leaf stopping member having a step wall.
With this configuration, by forming at least one through hole in each of one end parts of the leaves, inserting the one end parts between the back side plate member and the front side plate member, and inserting the at least one pillar shape protruding portion into the at least one through hole of each of the leaves, the leaves can be held. Since the at least one pillar shape protruding portion has, at a tip part, the leaf stopping member having the step wall, the leaves are suppressed from carelessly dropping off the at least one pillar shape protruding portion.
A file binder according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter file binder according to the seventh aspect, wherein the at least one pillar shape protruding portion passes through the front side plate member, is movable back and forth with respect to the front side plate member by finger pressure of a human being, and has, at another tip part protruding forward from the front side plate member, a retaining member having a step wall
With the file binder of this configuration, by moving the at least one pillar shape protruding portion forward by finger pressure when installing the leaves, the one end parts can be inserted between the front side plate member and the back side plate member without curling the leaves. By moving the at least one pillar shape protruding portion backward by finger pressure after that, the pillar shape protruding portion can be inserted into the through holes of the leaves. In such a way, the leaves can be installed into the binder of the present configuration without curling the leaves. Since the at least one pillar shape protruding portion has the leaf stopping member and the retaining member at both the tip parts, the pillar shape protruding portion does not drop off the front side plate member.
A printed matter set according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is a printed matter set including the file binder according to any of the first to seventh aspects, the file binder having no characteristics of the second aspect, and a plurality of leaves installable into the file binder and having printing done on each of the leaves. Folding perforations are formed in the one end part in each of the plurality of leaves.
With this configuration, by folding the plurality of leaves along the folding perforations and installing the leaves into the file binder in a stacked state, the plurality of leaves can be simply bound. In a state where the folded one end parts of the plurality of leaves are bound by a simple and convenient means such as a stapler, the plurality of leaves can also be installed into the file binder.
A printed matter set according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter set according to the ninth aspect, wherein cutout perforations are formed at a position of the one end part in each of the plurality of leaves, and the position corresponds to a lowermost end edge of the front side plate member of the file binder when the plurality of leaves is installed into the file binder.
With this configuration, while utilizing the lowermost end edge of the front side plate member of the file binder, the plurality of leaves can be cut and removed along the cutout perforations in order from the foremost side with the one end parts left. One mode of the printed matter set is for example suitable for a monthly calendar.
A printed matter set according to an eleventh aspect of the present invention is a printed matter set including the file binder according to any of the first to seventh aspects, the file binder having the characteristics of the second aspect, and a plurality of leaves installable into the file binder and having printing done on each of the leaves. A through hole is formed at least one spot in one end part of each of the plurality of leaves, the at least one spot corresponding to the at least one pillar shape protruding portion of the file binder when the plurality of leaves are installed into the file binder. Cutout perforations are further formed at a position of the one end part of each of the plurality of leaves, the position corresponding to a lowermost end edge of the front side plate member of the file binder when the plurality of leaves are installed into the file binder.
With this configuration, by inserting the at least one pillar shape protruding portion into the at least one through hole of each of the plurality of leaves and installing the leaves into the file binder, the plurality of leaves can be simply bound. While utilizing the lowermost end edge of the front side plate member of the file binder, the plurality of leaves can be cut and removed along the cutout perforations in order from the foremost side with the one end parts left. One mode of the printed matter set is for example suitable for a monthly calendar.
A printed matter according to a twelfth aspect of the present invention is a printed matter including three or more leaves bound at one side. Each of the three or more leaves defines a plurality of through holes formed along the one side in a vicinity of the one side, the through holes being formed at spots that substantially match between the three or more stacked leaves, and a cutout punched hole row formed along the one side at a position in a vicinity of the one side, the position being more distant from the one side than the plurality of through holes, the punched hole row being formed at a position that substantially matches between the three or more stacked leaves.
With this configuration, by inserting the plurality of pillar shape protruding portions of the file binder according to one aspect of the present invention into the plurality of through holes of the printed matter, the printed matter can be installed into the file binder. While utilizing the lowermost end edge of the front side plate member of the file binder, the plurality of leaves can be cut and removed along the cutout punched hole row in order from the foremost side with the one end parts left. Since the printed matter of the present configuration is already bound before being installed into the file binder, the printed matter is convenient to be handled. The printed matter of the present configuration is for example suitable for a monthly calendar or a daily calendar. The cutout punched hole row includes for example so-called cutout perforations and so-called cutout slits.
A printed matter according to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter according to the twelfth aspect, wherein the three or more leaves are four or more leaves bound by saddle-stitching at one side. The cutout punched hole row is formed more distantly from the one side successively or in a stepwise manner from the inner leaf toward the outer leaf among the four or more leaves, and thereby, the cutout punched hole row is formed at a position that substantially matches between the four or more stacked leaves.
With this configuration, although the four or more leaves are bound by saddle-stitching, the printed matter in which the cutout punched hole rows are formed at positions that substantially match each other between the four or more stacked leaves is realized.
A printed matter according to a fourteenth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect, wherein the four or more leaves are sixteen leaves, and include a leaf group in which monthly tables of a calendar for a common year are successively printed on respective regions, each of the regions being more distant from the one side than the cutout punched hole row.
The printed matter of this configuration can be used as a monthly calendar in which the leaves can be cut along the cutout punched hole rows by installing the printed matter into the file binder according to one aspect of the present invention. Further, since the leaves are sixteen, the present configuration is advantageous when the printed matter of the configuration is manufactured by performing printing on and folding one or a plurality of printing sheet.
A printed matter according to a fifteenth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect, wherein the four or more leaves are thirty-two leaves, and include a leaf group in which daily tables of a calendar for a common year and month are successively printed on respective regions, each of the regions being more distant from the one side than the cutout punched hole row.
The printed matter of this configuration can be used as a daily calendar in which the leaves can be cut along the cutout punched hole rows by installing the printed matter into the file binder according to one aspect of the present invention. Further, since the leaves are thirty-two, the present configuration is advantageous when the printed matter of the configuration is manufactured by performing printing on and folding one or a plurality of printing sheet.
A printed matter according to a sixteenth aspect of the present invention is the printed matter according to any of the twelfth to fifteenth aspects further including another leaf whose outline substantially matches with outlines of the four or more leaves when stacked on the four or more leaves. The another leaf defines a plurality of other through holes formed at spots that substantially match with the respective plurality of through holes of the four or more leaves when the another leaf is stacked on the four or more leaves, and another cutout punched hole row formed at a position that substantially matches with the respective cutout punched hole rows of the four or more leaves when the another leaf is stacked on the four or more leaves.
With this configuration, the another leaf can be installed into the file binder according to one aspect of the present invention together with the four or more leaves by inserting the another leaf between the four or more leaves or stacking the another leaf on the leaves. With the present configuration, the another leaf may be inserted between the four or more leaves or may be stacked on the leaves, or may be not yet inserted or stacked in order to leave it to an operation of a user or the like.
A seventeenth aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect, including the followings: that is, performing printing on each of two or more printing sheets, and forming cutout punched hole rows in a vicinity of and on both sides of a center-folding reference line along the reference line for each of the printing sheets in such a manner that a distance from the reference line is different between the printing sheets; folding, after performing the printing and forming the cutout punched hole rows, each of the two or more printing sheets in such a manner that the reference line remains one or overlies itself; stacking the folded two or more printing sheets in such a manner that the reference lines overlie each other and the printing sheet having the shorter distance is placed on an inner side when the printing sheets are bound; saddle-stitching the two or more stacked printing sheets on the overlying reference lines; cutting, while keeping the two or more saddle-stitched printing sheets in a state where the printing sheets are folded along the reference lines, three sides of the entire two or more printing sheets; and forming, while keeping the two or more saddle-stitched printing sheets in a state where the printing sheets are folded along the reference lines, a plurality of through holes passing through the entire two or more printing sheets along the reference line and between the reference line and the cutout punched hole rows of each of the printing sheets.
With the manufacturing method of this configuration, the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect of the present invention is obtained by sheet printing. The phrase “folding each of the two or more printing sheets in such a manner that the reference line remains one or overlies itself” will be additionally explained. When the center-folding reference line is one for each printing sheet and the printing sheet is folded in a folio, the reference line is not broken and this corresponds to a case where the reference line remains one. When the center-folding reference line is one for each printing sheet and the printing sheet is folded in a quarto or more, this corresponds to a case where the printing sheet is folded so that the reference line overlies itself to make one line. When for example two parallel center-folding reference lines are provided for each printing sheet and the printing sheet is folded in an octavo or sixteenmo, this corresponds to a case where the printing sheet is folded so that all the two reference lines overlie themselves to make one line.
An eighteenth aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect, including the followings: that is, performing printing on a predetermined region in each of two or more rolls of long printing sheets, and forming cutout punched hole rows in a vicinity of and on both sides of a center-folding reference line along the reference line for each of the printing sheets in such a manner that a distance from the reference line is different between the printing sheets; cutting out the predetermined region from each of the two or more rolls of long printing sheets; folding each of the two or more cut printing sheets in such a manner that the reference line remains one or overlies itself; stacking the two or more folded printing sheets in such a manner that the reference lines overlie each other and the printing sheet having the shorter distance is placed on an inner side when the printing sheets are bound; saddle-stitching the two or more stacked printing sheets on the overlying reference lines; cutting, while keeping the two or more saddle-stitched printing sheets in a state where the printing sheets are folded along the reference line, three sides of the entire two or more printing sheets; and forming, while keeping the two or more saddle-stitched printing sheets in a state where the printing sheets are folded along the reference line, a plurality of through holes passing through the entire two or more printing sheets along the reference line and between the reference line and the cutout punched hole rows of each of the printing sheets.
With the manufacturing method of this configuration, the printed matter according to the thirteenth aspect of the present invention can be obtained by rotary printing at lower cost.
According to the present invention as described above, the file binder into and from which the leaf group is freely installed and detached, the file binder to be provided at lower cost is realized. Further, the printed matter set including the file binder, and the leaf group serving as an object to be bound is obtained. Additionally, the printed matter suitable for installment into the file binder is obtained. Further, the method suitable for manufacture of the printed matter is obtained.
The objects, characteristics, features, and advantages of the present invention will be elucidated by the following detailed description and the attached drawings.
The file binder 101 has a back side plate member 2, a projecting member 3, and a front side plate member 6. The back side plate member 2, the projecting member 3, and the front side plate member 6 are for example formed by integrally molding plastic. The back side plate member 2 includes a main body part 4 and a lower end part 5 extending downward therefrom. The main body part 4 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to be along the wall surface to which the file binder is to be attached. The lower end part 5 is bent forward with respect to the main body part 4. In
The projecting portion 3 projecting forward is coupled to a part of the back side plate member 2, and the part lies on the upper side of the lower end part 5 and on the lower side of an upper end edge, for example, in the vicinity of center of the main body part 4. In the example of
The front side plate member 6 extends downward beyond a front end edge 80 of the lower end part 5 of the back side plate member 2, and forms a gap 81 from this front end edge 80. With this configuration, a bag shape space 7 is formed between the back side plate member 2 and the front side plate member 6. The space 7 has the gap 81 at a lower end thereof on the side of the front side plate member 6. In the example of
A through hole 1 passing through in a back and forth direction is formed in an upper end part of the back side plate member 2. By inserting a nail, a pushpin, a screw, a hook, or the like into this through hole 1, the file binder 101 can be easily attached to the wall surface.
An end edge 8 of the back side plate member 2 on the lower side of the projecting member 3 and on the right side when seen from the back side retreats closer to the center than a corresponding end edge of the front side plate member 6 on the right side. This configuration is to facilitate a task of attaching the plurality of leaves to the file binder 101. An advantage of the retreating end edge 8 will be described later with reference to
As shown in

As shown in
The cutout perforations 12 of the leaf group 201 are formed to be placed at a position corresponding to a lowermost end edge 85 of the front side plate member 6 (refer to
Even when the monthly table 50 is cut and removed, the remaining part of paper 13 corresponding to a part on the upper side of the cutout perforations 12 remains in the bag shape space 7. The user can see printing 20 done on a front surface of the foremost remaining part of paper 13 through the opening portion 9. For example, as the printing 20, by placing an advertisement of a sponsor or the like of the leaf group 201 as a calendar, the advertisement or the like can be not cut and removed but continuously displayed.

By taking a procedure in the reversed order to the procedure of installing the leaf group 202 into the file binder 103, the leaf group 202 can be easily removed from the file binder 103. Thereby, the user can easily separate the disused leaf group 202 from the file binder 103 and dispose. The file binder 103 can be re-used for installment of a new leaf group 202. A provider of the leaf group 202 only needs to provide the new leaf group 202 when the already-provided leaf group 202 is disused due to an end of the year or the like. The provider of the leaf group 202 can also provide a leaf group 202 exclusive to the file binder 103, and thereby can maintain a relationship with the user. Further, the leaf group 202 can be provided to the user in a state where the leaves are stacked on each other. Thus, even in a case where printing failure or the like is generated in some leaves in the leaf group 202, those who provide the leaf group 202 such as a calendar provider can easily replace only the defective leaves with non-defective leaves. The advantages relating to the file binder 103 described above are also applied to the file binders 101 and 102.

As a configuration to make the pillar shape protruding portions 15 separate parts, a mode of pushing rivet-shaped and headed pillar shape bodies into through holes passing through the front side plate member 6 in the back and forth direction can be adopted. Alternatively, simple pillar shape bodies may be inserted into through holes passing through the front side plate member 6 in the back and forth direction or bottomed holes formed on the back surface of the front side plate member 6, and the pillar shape bodies may be secured to the front side plate member 6 with an adhesive. The present invention is not limited to the above examples but it is obvious for those skilled in the art that various modes can be adopted as the configuration to make the pillar shape protruding portions 15 separate parts.
In the file binders 101, 104, 109, the opening portion 9 is formed in part of the front side plate member 6. However, instead of forming the opening portion 9, at least part of the front side plate member 6 may be made of a transparent material. With this configuration, the user or the like can also see the printing done on the remaining part of paper 13 of the leaf group 201 or the like from the front side. It should be noted that the term “transparent” indicates such transparency that texts and the like can be visually recognized, and for example, a mode that the material is colored to the extent of not preventing visual recognition of texts and the like is included.
In the above description, the examples in which the file binder is used while hanging the leaf group 201, 202 or the like are shown as use of the file binder. However, the file binder 101, 102 or others is not limited to the use in which the leaf group 201, 202 or the like is hanged, but can be used for other purposes. For example, the leaf group 201, 202 or the like is placed on a desk or carried in a bag in a state where the leaf group is bound in the file binder 101, 102.
The file binder 311 has a front side plate member 313, a projecting member 315, and a back side plate member 317. The front side plate member 313, the projecting member 315, and the back side plate member 317 are for example formed by integrally molding plastic. The back side plate member 317 includes a main body part 318 and a lower end part 319 extending downward therefrom. The main body part 318 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to be along the wall surface to which the file binder is to be attached. The lower end part 319 is bent forward with respect to the main body part 318. In
The projecting member 315 projecting forward is coupled to a part of the back side plate member 317, and the part lies on the upper side of the lower end part 319 and on the lower side of an upper end edge, for example, in the vicinity of center of the main body part 318. In the example of
The front side plate member 313 extends downward beyond a front end edge 320 of the lower end part 319 of the back side plate member 317, and forms a gap 322 from this front end edge 320. With this configuration, a bag shape space 349 is formed between the back side plate member 317 and the front side plate member 313.
In the file binder 311, pillar shape protruding portions 321 protruding backward from the back surface of the front side plate member 313 are formed. In the example of
End edges of the back side plate member 317 on the lower side of the projecting member 315 and on the right and left sides when seen from the back side retreat to the center. This configuration is to facilitate a task of attaching the plurality of leaves to the file binder 311 to be described later with reference to
A through hole 325 passing through in the back and forth direction is formed in an upper end part of the back side plate member 317. By inserting a nail, a pushpin, a screw, a hook, or the like into this through hole 325, the file binder 311 can be easily attached to the wall surface.
Two through holes 307 are formed along the one side 303 in the vicinity of the one side 303 in each leaf in the printed matter 301. The through holes 307 are formed at spots that substantially match between the stacked leaves. The through holes 307 are also formed at a position and with size with which the pillar shape protruding portions 321 can be inserted when an end part of the printed matter 301 on the side of the one side 303 is inserted into the gap 322 between the front side plate member 313 and the lower end part 319 of the back side plate member 317 of the file binder 311.
In each leaf in the printed matter 301, a cutout punched hole row 305 is formed along the one side at a position more distant from the one side 303 than the through holes 307. The punched hole row 305 is formed at a position that substantially matches between the stacked leaves. Further, the punched hole row 305 is formed at a position that matches a lowermost end edge of the front side plate member 313 when an end part of the printed matter 301 on the side of the one side 303 is inserted into the gap 322 of the file binder 311. The daily table is printed on a leaf major part 310 more distant from the one side 303 than the punched hole row 305.
As shown in
When right and left positions of the printed matter 301 are set at predetermined final positions, by undoing the curl of the printed matter 301, the pillar shape protruding portions 321 are inserted into the through holes 307. As a result, as shown in
The punched hole row 305 of the printed matter 301 is formed to be placed at a position corresponding to the lowermost end edge of the front side plate member 313 in a state where the printed matter 301 is installed into the file binder 311. Therefore, as shown in
In the printed matter 301, by cutting and removing the daily table along the punched hole row 305 for each day, only an upper end part 308 of the printed matter ranging from the one side 303 to the punched hole row 305 is left at the end. The upper end part 308 of the printed matter 301 having no daily table can be easily removed from the file binder 311 by taking a procedure in the reversed order to the procedure of installing the printed matter 301 into the file binder 311. Thereby, the user can easily separate the disused upper end part 308 of the printed matter 301 from the file binder 311 and dispose as shown in
In order to manufacture the printed matter 30, firstly, as shown in
Printing is done on the recto and the verso of the printing paper sheets A, B. The printing may be the sheet printing or the rotary printing. Upon the sheet printing, after the printing paper sheets A, B for example having A1 size are prepared, the printing exemplified in
In a process of printing, cutout punched hole rows 333 are formed on both sides of the binding spine line 331 at an equal distance. Upon either the sheet printing or the rotary printing, the punched hole rows 333 can be formed in a form of adding to the printing process. Upon the sheet printing, the punched hole rows 333 can be formed in each of the printing paper sheets A, B on which the printing is to be done by a so-called “Thomson” device. Upon the rotary printing, by preparing a drum for forming the punched hole row in line with four printing drums corresponding to four colors, the punched hole rows 333 can be formed in the roll shape sheet.
The punched hole rows 333 are formed in the vicinity of the binding spine line 331 in parallel with the binding spine line 331. A distance from the binding spine line 331 to the punched hole row 333 is set to be shorter in the printing paper sheet B than in the printing paper sheet A. As a preferable example, in the printing paper sheets A, B supposed to be folded in an octavo, the difference is set to be four times more than thickness of the printing paper sheets A, B.
The printing is done on a major region more distant from the binding spine line 331 than the punched hole rows 333. As one example, a page number 339 is printed on each of the signatures 337. In the printed matter 330 after completion of saddle-stitching, for example, an odd-numbered page is the recto, and an even-numbered page is the verso. In the signatures 337, a front page of the calendar or a monthly table is printed on the odd-numbered page, and a printed matter in a different category from that of the odd-numbered page such as an advertisement or a catalog is printed on the even-numbered page.
Next, as shown in
Next, three sides of the printing paper sheets A, B already saddle-stitched as shown in
The printed matter 330 is installed into a file binder 351 formed as the same as the file binder 311 shown in
The file binder 351 has a through hole 347 formed in the upper end part of the back side plate member 317 and passing through in the back and forth direction. The through hole 347 has a long hole extending right and left and a cut going toward the upper end side in a center part thereof. The cut is suitable for hanging the file binder 351 onto a nail, a hook, or the like protruding from the wall surface or the like. The long hole is formed in the same way as an opening portion of a magnet holding base disclosed in Patent Document 3, and detachably holds a magnet body 357 of a particular shape disclosed in Patent Document 3 (
As shown in
Between the leaves in the leaf group of the printed matter 330, the punched hole rows 305 only need to be placed at positions that practically, that is, substantially match with each other, allowing slight displacement. Similarly, regarding a positional relationship between the punched hole rows 305 of the leaf group and the lowermost end edge of the front side plate member 313, the punched hole rows and the lowermost end edge only need to be placed at the practically, that is, substantially same positions.
As shown in
The example in which the two printing paper sheets A, B are respectively folded in an octavo in order to manufacture the printed matter 330 formed by binding the sixteen leaves has been shown. However, other methods such as a method of respectively folding four printing paper sheets into a quarto and a method of respectively folding eight printing paper sheets into a folio can also be adopted. Upon a folio folding, since one printing paper sheet is only center-folded along the binding spine line 331, the one binding spine line 331 is not broken in the middle but remains one. In order to manufacture the printed matter 301 formed by binding thirty-two leaves, various methods such as a method of respectively folding two printing paper sheets into a sixteenmo, a method of respectively folding four printing paper sheets into an octavo, and a method of respectively folding eight printing paper sheets into a quarto can be adopted. When a sixteenmo folding is adopted, the punched hole rows 333 may be formed on both sides of each of the two binding spine lines 331 in the printing paper sheet. The printing paper sheet is folded in such a manner that the two binding spine lines 331 completely overlie each other.
Preferably, the file binder 361 is formed by insert molding of plastic in such a manner that the pillar shape protruding portions 363 pass through the front side plate member 313. Thereby, the pillar shape protruding portions 363 receive appropriate frictional force from the through holes 369 to such an extent that the pillar shape protruding portions are movable in the back and forth direction by finger pressure of a human being.
In order to install the printed matter 330 into the file binder 361, firstly, as shown in
In addition to the embodiments shown above, various modified modes can be adopted in the present invention. For example, the mode of the saddle-stitched printed matter is exemplified as the printed matter 301, 330. However, the through holes 307 and the punched hole rows 305 may be formed in a non-wire stitched printed matter bound by glue or the like. Further, the stopping members 367 may be formed in the tip parts of the pillar shape protruding portions 321 (
