Abstract
A file (1) includes: a cover member (2); a base plate (4) fixed to the inner surface of the cover member (2); first and second rod members (5, 6) standing vertically and mutually parallel on the base plate (4) with a certain gap between them; a pressure plate (7) orthogonal to the rod members (5,6) for pressing an object to be filed (S) toward the base member (4), through which the rod members (5, 6) pass, and that is shiftable so as to approach toward and recede from the base plate (4); and a locking mechanism (8) that is capable of locking the pressure plate (7) with respect to at least one of the rod members (5, 6) at any desired position in the longitudinal direction of the rod members (5, 6), so that it cannot shift in the direction to recede from the base plate (4).
Claims17
A file for filing an object to be filed such as documents or the like, characterized by comprising:
- a cover member comprising a front cover, a side cover and a rear cover;
- a base plate fixed to an inner surface of said rear cover;
- a first rod member that extends vertically with respect to said base plate from a first end portion that is fixed at a first location on said base plate;
- a second rod member that extends vertically with respect to said base plate from a second end portion that is fixed at a second location on said base plate that is spaced by a certain gap toward said side cover from said first location;
- a pressure plate for pressing the object to be filed toward said base late, having first and second guide holes through which said first and second rod members respectively pass, and shiftable parallel to itself so as to approach toward and recede from said base plate while maintaining an attitude substantially orthogonal to said first and second rod members;
- and
- a locking mechanism that is capable of locking said pressure plate with respect to at least one of said first and second rod members at any desired position in a longitudinal direction of said first and second rod members, so that said pressure plate cannot shift in a direction to recede from said base plate.
A filing mechanism for filing an object to be filed such as a document or the like, characterized by comprising:
- a base plate;
- a first rod member that extends vertically with respect to said base plate from a first end portion that is fixed at a first location on said base plate, and formed with a receiving surface on a side surface portion for receiving and stopping an edge portion of the object to be filed;
- a second rod member that extends vertically with respect to said base plate from a second end portion that is fixed at a second location on said base plate that is spaced by a certain gap from said first location in the opposite direction to said receiving surface;
- a pressure plate for pressing the object to be filed toward said base member, having first and second guide holes through which said first and second rod members respectively pass, and shiftable parallel to itself so as to approach toward and recede from said base plate while maintaining an attitude substantially orthogonal to said first and second rod members;
- and
- a locking mechanism that is capable of locking said pressure plate with respect to at least one of said first and second rod members at any desired position in the longitudinal direction of said first and second rod members, so that it cannot shift in the direction to recede from said base plate.
