Description

149463

The invention relates to a stand-up folder for information carriers with two support members which can be folded out on the outside of their respective folder wall for supporting the folder wall when the folder is in its open position on its folder back.

German Offenlegungsschrift No. 10 38 007 discloses a standing folder of 5 the aforementioned type, in which the folder walls and the folder bottom consist of cardboard or plastic. In this known folder, the support means are formed by protruding patches on a metal arm pivotally mounted on the bottom of the folder about a pin. The projections have a sloping edge which limits the folding angle of the support members. 10 clamps or a rubber band are used as the holding element. This known standing folder is not entirely satisfactory for several reasons. One of these reasons is that the pivotable bearing on the folder bottom forms a weak spot, as the pin is loaded relatively strongly and is prone to being torn out of the cardboard or plastic bottom. In addition, the tap bearing wears easily. Nor are the primitive holding elements satisfactory, and finally it is not possible to fold up the walls of the pockets completely, i.e. bring these into a position in which they are in a plane flush with the plane of the pocket bottom.

In addition, a standing folder made of sheet material and formed as a container is known, in which on the end walls of the foldable container are arranged about pivotable pivot half halves, which in the unfolded folder can be used as support means and as a holding element has a lock. These stand-up folders are expensive due to their design as a container and are unsuitable for many uses for economic reasons. Nor with this known standing folder is it possible to bring the pocket walls in line with the plane of the bottom of the pocket.

German Offenlegungsschrift No. 10 25 382 also discloses a standing folder with two support members, which are hinged on each of the sides of the folder walls furthest from the back of the folder. This standing folder 30 has the disadvantage that the support means cannot be locked when the folder is in its open position on its back, and there is therefore nothing to prevent the lower edge of the support members from sliding on the support surface, so that the standing folder falls out to a completely open position. Another disadvantage of this known standing folder is that it takes up a lot of space when it is standing on its back in the open 35 position, as the support members are hinged on the upper side edge of the folder walls and therefore in the support position must extend obliquely outwards towards each side from these already outermost side edges.

The object of the invention is to provide a standing folder of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which all the mentioned disadvantages are eliminated.

This object is solved according to the invention by means of a standing folder designed as in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The standing folder according to the invention offers the advantage that it is not provided with pivots which are prone to wear and tear, and that the end sides of the standing folder can remain open. The holding element is of simple design and prevents information carriers from slipping from the closed folder. Since the support means, which can be folded in to close abutment against the pocket wall, can be brought into the support position independently of each other, it is possible to be content with supporting one, preferably the rear pocket wall, while the other pocket wall is in close abutment against this lying support means. can be folded out completely and thus enable convenient distribution of an accordion-like pull-out pocket row arranged in the folder for receiving information carriers. Since the support members are hinged on the folder wall itself and not on its upper edge, they take up only little space in their support position.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. In the drawing: fig. 1 is a perspective view of a folded standing folder without contents, fig. 2 is a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1 with storage pockets for information carriers arranged in the interior of the stand folder, FIG. 3 is a view of the device shown in FIG. 2, seen from below, FIG. 4 is a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1-3 showed the standing folder in the closed position.

In Figures 30, which are strongly schematized for the sake of simplicity, 1 denotes the folder ridge of a standing folder connecting two folder walls 2 and 3 to each other. Two support means 6 and 7 are preferably hinged on the outside of their respective folder walls 2 and 3 by means of welded hinge connections 4 and 5. The folding angle limiting means 8 and 9 of the support means serve to limit the folding angle limiting means 8, which in the case shown are foil folds. which can be folded along the lines AB. On the facing surfaces of the folder wall 2 and the support member 6 as well as of the folder wall 3 and the support member 7, holding elements 10 are arranged which can engage with each other over recesses 11 in the unfolding angle limitations. The holding elements preferably consist of closing parts which are held together by pressure against each other. The folder wall 2 gives at its upper edge into a slap-shaped flap formed by an extension of the folder wall. This flap 12 is connected via a foil hinge 19 to the folder wall 2. As can best be seen in fig. 2, a part 13 of a closure is arranged on one tab of the flap 12, the second part 14, which forms an insertion slot for the first part 13, is attached to the outside of the second folder wall 3. In fig. 2 it is further seen that to the inside of the folder wall 2 the upper edge 15 of a row of pockets 16 is attached, which along their upper edges are connected to each other and can be pulled out accordionically from each other.

FIG. 3 shows the underside of the folded standing folder. Here one can see through the recesses 11 the holding elements 10, which are formed by closing parts joined together by pressure against each other.

FIG. 4 shows the standing folder in its closed position, where the flap 12 during transport thereof, where it is rotated 180 ° relative to that in fig.

1, prevents an information carrier 17 from falling out. The standing folder is essentially open at the sides. Sliding information carriers at the sides are prevented by the pockets 16 in the area at their upper edge being closed by means of bridges 18.

In the drawing, the folder back 1, the folder walls 2 and 3, the support members 6 and 7 and the flap are shown in single lines. In practice, the said parts preferably consist of double-lying and reinforced welded plastic foils which are reinforced by means of cardboard inserts.
