The present invention relates to portfolios, and particularly to a portfolio with foldable handles which provides some buckling structures and retaining structures so that when the portfolio is opened or closed, the portfolio has a firm structure. The documents therein can be retained with a beautiful outlook.
Portfolios serve to store documents therein so that the documents can be stored effectively and orderly. In one prior art portfolio, the portfolio has a body, an open receiving space in the body; a slot at one side of the body; an upper cover which is foldable for sealing the receiving space; and a connector for connecting the upper cover to the upper side of the body.
In the prior art, the receiving space is divided into a plurality of sub-spaces by using a plurality of spacers. The spacers are fixed at two sides. However, in the prior art as the portfolio is at the open state, the cover is arranged disorderly so that it presents an unbeautiful outlook, when the portfolio is at a close state, there is only finite connecting elements being used to combine the cover and the body so that small or tiny objects in the receiving space are easy to fall out.
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a portfolio with foldable handles which provides some buckling structures and retaining structures so that when the portfolio is opened or closed, the portfolio has a firm structure. The documents therein can be retained with a beautiful outlook.
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a portfolio with foldable handles which comprises a body; a receiving portion in the body; the receiving portion having an opened receiving space; a plurality of spacers being placed into the receiving space; the receiving space being divided into a plurality of sub-spaces; two handles; a fastener unit having one fastener sheet and two fastener plates, the fastener sheet being positioned at an inner side of one handle; one fastener plate being positioned at an inner side of the receiving portion and being at the same side having the first buckle; another fastener plate being fixed to one inner side of another handle. In an open state, the fastener sheet is fixed to the fastener plate at the same side, and in a close state, the fastener sheet is fixed to the fastener plate at another side.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
each of two lateral sides of the body 1 has a second buckle 132. The first buckle 131 can be buckle to a respective one of the two second buckle 132. Thus, when the handle 11 is folded outwards and then downwards, the first buckle 131 can be buckled to the second buckle 132 so as to fix the handle to the body 1.
A buckling unit 112 has a buckling rope 1121 and one button 1122. One end of the buckling rope 1121 is fixed to one side of the handle 11. Other portion of the buckling rope 1121 is formed as a ring. The button 1122 is fixed to a lower side of the hole 111 of another handle 11 so that the buckling rope 1121 can pass through the holes 111 of the two handles 11 to be fixed to the button 1122. Thus the two handles 11 are retained without opening.
A fastener unit 113 has one fastener sheet 1131 and two fastener plates 1132. Referring to
Thus, by above mentioned structure, the handles 11 can be opened for receiving documents and finding document. Or the handles 11 are closed for storage and carrying out.

The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
