In addition, a portion of the strip 14 where the concave strip 16 is not formed,
That is, a substantially L-shaped portion including a portion protruding substantially perpendicularly from the base material 12 is used as the spelling body 14a for engaging with the spelling hole Ph of the document P. This spelling 14
The length a is the maximum thickness of the document P that can be bound to the binding device 10.

A flat strip-shaped hinge member 18 is formed integrally with one end of the base material 12 in the width direction. Hinge member 18
Are arranged so as to extend in the thickness direction of the document P to be bound so that the thick document P can be bound. Further, the hinge member 18 has three fold curves 20 extending from one end to the other end in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the hinge member 18 is bent. The three fold curves 20 are
As shown in FIG. 3, each of the hinge members 18 is formed to be thin so as to be depressed in a substantially U-shaped cross section from both outer sides to the inner side in the thickness direction. Since the fold curve 20 is thus formed, the hinge member 18 is easily bent at the fold curve 20.

On the other end of the hinge member 18 in the width direction, a holding member 22 is integrally formed with a folding curve 20 interposed therebetween. That is, the holding member 22 is connected to the base material 1 via the hinge member 18.

The sandwiching member 22 is disposed to face the base material 12 by being folded back by the hinge member 18 in the direction indicated by the one-dot chain line arrow in FIG. It is for doing. On the other end in the width direction of the holding member 22, the positions substantially corresponding to the two strips 14 when the holding member 22 is bent on the base material 12 are moved from the other end in the width direction as shown in FIG. Two notches 24 are formed by being cut into a substantially rectangular shape so as to extend to the center. As shown in FIG. 3, the sandwiching member 22 between the two cutouts 24 is formed to have a substantially arcuate cross section in order to improve strength and enhance aesthetics. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the vicinity of the two notches 24 of the holding member 22, two flat linear ribs 26 extending in the longitudinal direction of the holding member 22 are respectively provided from the main surface of the holding member 22. It is formed thick so as to protrude. The rib 26 reinforces the vicinity of the notch 24 of the holding member 22 to improve the strength.

Furthermore, both the outer two longitudinal notches 24 of the clamping member 22 is formed as shown in FIG. 3, respectively in a flat plate shape. Then, protruding ridges 28 having a substantially T-shaped cross section are formed so as to protrude from their main surfaces. As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding ridges 28 as the engaging members of this embodiment are formed in a rail shape extending linearly from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the holding member 22 to the vicinity of the notch 24, respectively. As shown in FIG. 7,

[0022] Further, in the spelling tool 10, the concave portion 16
Since the ridges 28 and the ridges 28 are respectively provided in a straight line, the fitting positions can be shifted and adjusted in the longitudinal direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the thickness of the document P to be bound is small, the strip 14 is bent near the center of the binding body 14a, and the concave strip 1 is bent.
6 is fitted to the ridges 28 near both ends of the substrate 12. In this case, the portion of the spelling body 14 a that extends upward from the spelling hole Ph is bent so as to extend onto the holding member 22.
Therefore, the excess spelled body 14a without engaging with the document P
Are arranged along the holding member 22.
The spelling device 10 is not bulky and looks good. On the other hand, FIG.
As shown in (B), when the thickness of the document P to be stapled is large, the strip 14 is bent near the boundary between the binding body 14a and the recess 16 and the recess 16 is cut into the base material 12. It is fitted with the ridge 28 near the notch 24. Therefore, the spelling hole P of the document P extends over the entire length of the spelling body 14a.
h, and can bind a thick document P. As described above, in the binding device 10, the length of the binding body 14a that engages with the binding hole Ph of the document P can be adjusted according to the thickness of the document P to be bound.

In the spelling device 10, the free end of the strip 14 is fixed to the holding member 22, so that a document or the like can be prevented from falling out of the strip 14, and the holding member 22 can be fixed by the strip 14. . Therefore, documents and the like can be securely bound. In addition, this spelling device 10
Since the base material 12, the strip 14 and the holding member 22 are integrally formed and the number of components is reduced to one, it can be easily manufactured by, for example, injection molding, and the component cost and the manufacturing cost are low. Also, since the file is made of a synthetic resin, the file can be fixed to the cover by an ultrasonic welding method or the like to assemble the file.
