Abstract

A dual-purpose file folder includes a main body with a bearing plate, upper/lower and left/right folded plates. A first mobile folded plate includes two first folding flanges, and a first insertion strip on the first folding flange. A second mobile folded plate includes two second folding flanges, and a second insertion strip on the second folding flange. A folding locating position includes folding insertion holes. A framing locating position includes framing insertion holes. When the strips on the folding flanges are inserted into the folding insertion holes, the folded plates of the main body can be covered onto the bearing plate in a folding state. Alternatively, when the insertion strips are inserted into framing insertion holes, the folded plates of the main body can be incorporated into a standing frame, thus forming a holding space with the bearing plate.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A dual-purpose file folder comprising:
 a main body comprising a bearing plate; and upper/lower and left/right folded plates arranged around the bearing plate in a foldable state;   a first mobile folded plate comprising two first folding flanges, which are separately arranged at both ends of the right folded plate of the main body in a foldable state; and a first insertion strip is formed on the first folding flange;   a second mobile folded plate comprising two second folding flanges, which are separately arranged at both ends of the left folded plate of the main body in a foldable state; and a second insertion strip is formed on the second folding flange;   a folding locating position comprising first and second folding insertion holes; the first folding insertion hole is arranged on the right folded plate, and the second folding insertion hole on the left folded plate;   a framing locating position, arranged on the upper and lower folded plates of the main body comprising two first and two second framing insertion holes;   when the first and second insertion strips on the first and second folding flanges are separately inserted into the first and second folding insertion holes of the folding locating position, the upper, lower, left and right folded plates of the main body can be covered onto the bearing plate in a folding state, meanwhile a locator is used for limitation purpose; alternatively, when the first and second insertion strips are separately inserted into first and second framing insertion holes of the framing locating position, the upper, lower, left and right folded plates of the main body can be incorporated into a standing frame, thus forming a holding space with the bearing plate.   
     
     
         2 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second folding flanges are provided with retaining groove at two adjacent sides; the first and second insertion strips are protruded towards the end from the retaining groove. 
     
     
         3 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second folding flanges are provided with a curved breaking joint, so the first and second insertion strips are protruded correspondingly to the curved breaking joint. 
     
     
         4 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein said locator comprises an elastic strip and a hook; said elastic strip is connected with the upper folded plate of the main body, and the hook is arranged correspondingly on the lower folded plate. 
     
     
         5 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein the upper and lower folded plates of the main body are defined to form an internal surface and an external surface; the first and second folding flanges on the left and right folded plates are aligned with either the internal surface or the external surface. 
     
     
         6 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein a spaced flange is arranged between the bearing plate and the upper/lower, left/right folded plates. 
     
     
         7 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein these two first framing insertion holes are separately arranged on the upper and lower folded plates. 
     
     
         8 . The structure defined in  claim 1 , wherein these two second framing insertion holes are arranged separately at interval on the upper and lower folded plates.
