Classification element for documents and the like

Abstract

Classification element for documents and the like, comprising at least fixing means ( 3 ) which make it possible for this classification element ( 1 ) to work in conjunction with a ring mechanism on the one hand, and whereby it comprises suspension means ( 6 ) on the other hand which make it possible for this classification element ( 1 ) to be provided in a suspended classification system.

1 . A classification element for documents and the like, comprising at least fixing means which make it possible for this classification element to work in conjunction with a ring mechanism on the one hand, and whereby it comprises suspension means on the other hand which make it possible for this classification element to be provided in a suspended classification system.  
     
     
         2 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , comprising a body with one or several holders, of the type which makes it possible for this holder or these holders to work in conjunction with the folded back of a document or the like.  
     
     
         3 . The classification element according to  claim 2 , comprising two of said holders which consist of hook-shaped elements which mainly extend parallel to the longitudinal direction of the classification element and which are directed towards one another with their free ends.  
     
     
         4 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , wherein the above-mentioned fixing means consist of two or several openings forming passages which can work in conjunction with the rings of a ring mechanism or the like.  
     
     
         5 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , wherein the above-mentioned suspension means consist of hook-shaped parts situated near both far ends of the classification element.  
     
     
         6 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , wherein the suspension means are part of parts which are at least partially retractable.  
     
     
         7 . The classification element according to claims  6 , comprising a body with one or several holders, of the type which makes it possible for this holder or these holders to work in conjunction with the folded back of a document or the like, wherein the partially retractable parts of which the suspension means are part, assume a position, when drawn in, which is such that the total length of the classification element is thereby equal to or almost equal to the length which is determined by the above-mentioned holder or holders.  
     
     
         8 . The classification element according to  claim 6 , wherein the above-mentioned partially retractable parts can be slid along a body extending in between.  
     
     
         9 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , wherein the suspension means are part of removable part, such that when these removable parts are removed, what remains is a classification element which can still work in conjunction with a ring system or the like.  
     
     
         10 . The classification element according to  claim 9 , wherein the above-mentioned removable parts consist of elements which can be slid on the far ends of a body comprising the above-mentioned fixing means.  
     
     
         11 . The classification element according to  claim 10 , wherein the above-mentioned body is provided with locking means which prevent the above-mentioned removable parts, after they have been provided on the above-mentioned body, to become detached from said body by themselves.  
     
     
         12 . The classification element according to  claim 11 , wherein the locking means consist of elastically bendable parts which, by bending, allow the above-mentioned removable parts to be removed from the body.  
     
     
         13 . The classification element according to  claim 1 , mainly consisting of a body in the shape of a lath extending in the longitudinal direction; of holders for documents consisting of hook-shaped elements provided in one piece on the far ends of the lath, extending mainly parallel to the longitudinal direction of the classification element and which are directed towards one another with their free ends; and of parts provided on both far ends of the body, extending in relation to said body, which are in turn provided with hook-shaped parts on their free ends which can function as suspension means.  
     
     
         14 . The classification element according  claim 13 , wherein the above-mentioned body consists of a profiled lath and in that the above-mentioned extending parts mesh over the profiled body.
