Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a punch/binding machine, and more particularly to a punch/binding machine for loose-leaf papers and a binding module thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a schematic assembly view and a schematic exploded view of a first-type binding mechanism of a conventional punch/binding machine for loose-leaf papers disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,522. The conventional first-type binding mechanism 1 is used to pull a plastic comb 2 (FIG. 3). The conventional first-type binding mechanism 1 includes a binding module 10 and a transmission device 18. The binding module 10 includes a pushing board 11, a lower board 12, a moving seat 13, and an upper board 14. The transmission device 18 includes a handle 15, a link 16, and two eccentric cams 17.

The pushing board 11 has two guide shafts 111, a plurality of lower blocks 112, and a plurality of upper blocks 113. The guide shafts 111 are respectively located on two sides of the pushing board 11. The lower blocks 112 are located on a lower surface of the pushing board 11. The upper blocks 113 are located on an upper surface of the pushing board 11.

The lower board 12 is located below the pushing board 11 for the pushing board 11 to slide on the upper surface thereof. The lower board 12 is a fixed element, and has two grooves 121 and a plurality of fixing combs 122. The grooves 121 are respectively located on two sides of the lower board to allow the lower block 112 of the pushing board 11 to slide therein. Due to the limitation of the grooves 121, the pushing board 11 can only move linearly to and fro. The fixing combs 122 are located at the front end of the lower board 12 and vertical to the lower board 12.

The moving seat 13 is located above the pushing board 11 in order to slide on the upper surface of the pushing board 11. The moving seat 13 has a plurality of shifting rods 131 and a plurality of slanted slots 132. The shifting rods 131 are located at the front end of the moving seat 13, and are positioned at a slanted angle towards the moving seat 13. The slanted slots 132 are used to accommodate the upper block 113 of the pushing board 11, such that when the pushing board 11 moves to and fro, it can guide the moving seat 13 to move laterally and back and forth.

The upper board 14 is a fixed element and is located above the moving seat 13. The upper board 14 has a plurality of slot apertures 141 for the fixing combs 122 and the shifting rods 131 to pass through, and the shifting rods 131 are movable in the slot apertures 141.

One end of the handle 15 is used to receive an external force, and the other end is secured to the link 16. Two ends of the link 16 are respectively secured to an eccentric cam 17. Each of the eccentric cams 17 has a guide slot 171. The guide slots 171 are respectively associated with the guide shaft 111 of the pushing board 11, so that when eccentric cams 17 rotate, they can drive the pushing board 11.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of the actuation of the conventional first-type binding mechanism. First, the plastic comb 2 is placed on the upper board 14, and the fixing combs 122 press against it. Then, an external force is exerted on the handle 15, so as to drive the link 16 and the eccentric cams 17. The rotation of the eccentric cams 17 drives the pushing board 11 to move backward, thus driving the moving seat 13 to move rightward, such that the shifting rods 131 also move rightward to enter the plastic comb 2. Then, the pushing board 11 moves backward continuously to drive the moving seat 13 to move backward, such that the shifting rods 131 also move backward to pull the plastic comb 2.

The first-type binding mechanism 1 of the conventional punch/binding machine for loose-leaf papers has the following disadvantages. The binding module 10 is formed by stacking four plates, thus having more components and being inconvenient to assemble. In addition, the moving seat 13 moves laterally and back and forth, thus having a large resistance and being easily worn.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of the actuation of a second-type binding mechanism of a conventional punch/binding machine for loose-leaf papers disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,522. The conventional second-type binding mechanism 3 is used to clamp a wire comb 5 (FIG. 6). The conventional second-type binding mechanism 3 includes an upper clamping block 31 and a lower clamping block 32. The upper clamping block 31 and the lower clamping block 32 are L-shaped plates. After paper sheets 4 are placed in the wire comb 5, the paper sheets 4 and the wire comb 5 are placed together in the space between the upper clamping block 31 and the lower clamping block 32. Finally, another transmission device (not shown) is used to drive the upper clamping block 31 to move downward to clamp the wire comb 5.

In the conventional punch/binding machine for loose-leaf papers, the conventional first-type binding mechanism 1 and the conventional second-type binding mechanism 3 are two different mechanisms respectively. Since they are driven by different transmission devices, the two mechanisms require large spaces, and have a large number of components.

Moreover, a third-type binding method for loose-leaf papers utilizes a plastic coil 6 (FIG. 7). In the conventional method, the plastic coil 6 is rotated directly by a finger, so that the plastic coil 6 is spirally rolled into the holes of the loose-leaf papers. The method has the disadvantage of inconvenient operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a punch/binding machine and a binding module thereof to solve the above problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a punch/binding machine, which comprises a transmission device, a body, and a binding module. The transmission device receives an external force. The body is used to support the transmission device. The binding module comprises a fixing rod, a fixed comb plate, an upper board, a guide element, a moving seat, and a lower board. Two ends of the fixing rod are fixed on the body. The fixed comb plate has a plurality of fixing combs, and each of the fixing combs has a flute. The fixed comb plate is fixed on the fixing rod. The upper board has a plurality of slot apertures for the fixing combs to pass through, and the upper board is fixed on the fixing rod. The guide element is located on one side of the upper board in order to push a plastic comb in the flutes of the fixing combs. The moving seat has a plurality of shifting rods. The moving seat is located below the upper board, such that the shifting rods pass through the slot apertures of the upper board and pull the plastic comb. At least one end of the moving seat is connected to the transmission device, so as to be driven by the transmission device to move linearly to and fro. The lower board is located below the moving seat for providing the moving seat to slide on the surface thereof, and the lower board is fixed on the fixing rod.

The present invention has the following advantages. The binding module is formed by stacking three plates, i.e., the upper board, the moving seat, and the lower board, thus having a small number of components and being easily assembled. In addition, the moving seat only moves back and forth, thus having less resistance, and it cannot be easily worn out. Furthermore, the binding module has three types of binding functions simultaneously, and only one transmission device, i.e., the transmission device, is required to achieve the driving function, thus requiring a smaller space.

FIG. 11 shows a schematic view of the actuation of a second-type binding function of the binding mechanism according to the present invention. The second-type binding function of the present invention is used to clamp a wire comb 5, and the actuating manner is described as follows. First, the wire comb 5 is placed in the interval between the front clamping block 87 and the rear clamping block 88, so as to be attracted by the magnet 89. Then, the papers 4 are placed in the wire comb 5. Finally, the transmission device 9 is used to drive the moving seat 85 and the front clamping block 87 to move backward to clamp the wire comb 5.

A third binding function of the binding mechanism of the present invention is rolling a plastic coil 6 (FIG. 7) into the holes of the papers, and the actuating manner is described as follows. First, the paper sheets 4 are placed in the interval between the front clamping block 87 and the rear clamping block 88. Then, the plastic coil 6 is placed between the front roller 872 of the front clamping block 87 and the rear roller 882 of the rear clamping block 88. Finally, the front roller 872 or the rear roller 882 is rolled manually or in another manner, thus spirally rolling the plastic coil 6 into the holes of the papers 4.

The present invention has the advantage that the binding module 8 is formed by stacking three plates i.e., the upper board 83, the moving seat 85, and the lower board 86, thus having a small number of components and being easily assembled. In addition, the moving seat 85 only moves back and forth, thus having less resistance, and it cannot be easily worn out. Furthermore, the binding module 8 has all three types of binding functions, and only one transmission device, i.e., the transmission device 9, is used to achieve the driving function, thus requiring a smaller space.

Referring to FIG. 12, a front view of the fixed comb plate of the bonding mechanism according to a second implementing aspect of the present invention is shown. The fixed comb plate 82B has a plurality of fixing combs 821B, and the upper end of fixing combs 821B has a uniform width. Each fixing comb 821B has a protruding portion 8211B and a guiding inclined portion 8212, and the protruding portions 8211B and the guiding inclined portions 8212 of the adjacent fixing combs 821B can be used to clamp the plastic comb 2. The fixed comb plate 82B further includes a plurality of screw holes 8213 for a plurality of screws passing through to be locked on the fixing rod 81.

Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, a schematic side view and a schematic top view of the fixed comb plate of the bonding mechanism according to a third implementing aspect of the present invention are respectively shown. In this implementing aspect, the fixed comb plate 82C is a movable element, and is substantially the same as the fixed comb plate 82 of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, only except that the fixed comb plate 82C does not have screw holes but has a plurality of elongated guide slots. A plurality of pins passes through the fixing rod 81, the guide slots of the fixed comb plate 82C, and the moving seat 85. After being locked, the fixed comb plate 82C can move left and right. In order to match the fixed comb plate 82C, a pivot portion 852B of the moving seat 85B is designed to be an elongated guide slot, and the right connecting lever 96B has an inclined side edge 963. Moreover, one end of the fixed comb plate 82C is further connected to a spring 97, a roller bracket 98, and a roller 99. One end of the spring 97 is connected to the fixed comb plate 82C, and the other end is connected to the right-side body 74 (FIG. 9). One end of the roller bracket 98 is locked on the fixed comb plate 82C with screws, and the other end is connected to the roller 99. The roller 99 contacts the inclined side edge 963 of the right connecting lever 96B, and slides thereon.

The actuation of the fixed comb plate 82C is described as follows. An external force is applied onto the first end 911 of the handle 91, so as to drive the right crank 94 to rotate. At this time, the right crank 94 drives the right connecting lever 96B. As the pivot portion 852B of the moving seat 85B is an elongated guide slot, the right connecting lever 96B moves forward, such that the inclined side edge 963 of the right connecting lever 96B pushes the roller 99. Then, the roller 99 drives the roller bracket 98 and the fixed comb plate 82C to move to the right side of FIG. 13.

While several embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art. The embodiments of the present invention are therefore described in an illustrative but not restrictive sense.
