SUSPENSION DEVICE FOR DOCUMENT STORING TUBE

Abstract: Suspension device for document storing tube in a system, in which tubes are placed next vertical so that their intersection areas cover the suspension area as much as possible. The suspension device is composed of a plate strip (1) which on a lower edge has a couple of scores (2) with hooks (3), which make possible to suspend the tube on projections inside a usual cover, principally intended to facilitate extraction of the cover. The lower edge of the plate strip (1) may compose several couples of scores (2) with hooks for suspending of tubes of various dimension and every score can form couple of scores with hooks (3) together with another score for suspending of at least two tubes of different dimension.

Description: Suspension device for document storing tube Often it is practically to store large documents rolled in a tube with closed ends. By this they are protected against da¬ mage and light. In the tube they may even be send by post with¬ out special packing. For saving place tubes may be placeable so, that their intersection areas cover the suspension area as much as possible. Tubes of different length may be suspended from same level but for saving more place also in a third pla¬ cing axle direction it is possible to store tubes of various length at various level. FI patent 61 658 contains a storing system for like documents. The tubes are stored there in vertical position by means of two bearing pins fixed in shoulder of selfbearing tubes. The unsatis¬ factory of this system is really these bearing pins, which must be fixed for making possible to suspend the tubes. The enclosed invention dismiss this unsatisfactory. The inven¬ tion is known from the nearly restricted facts in the characte¬ ristic parts of the patent claims. On the enclosed figures an example of the invention is presented. Figure 1 show the suspension device from one side Figure 2 show one to the storing tube suitable cover from upper side Figure 3 show the cover of the tube in cross-section The suspension of the tube 6 on the suspension device is made by means of projections 7 on the inside of the usual cover of plastic material, which projections normally are made on the cover to facilitate extraction of the same. Therefore it is not necessary to do anything on the tube or on its cover to perform the suspension. Of course the cover can also be fixed on the tube by some known manner if wanting security. The suspension device is compsed of a plate strip 1, which on a lower ' -edge has several couples of scores 2 with hooks 3 with dimensions forvarious kinds of tubes. For reducing the scores it is a matter-of-fact to do so that every score form a couple of scores with another score at least for two tubes of different dimensions. The upper edge of plate strip can be formed with incisions 4 without hooks for fixing an address-label or labels. The lower edge of plate strip can be formed with grooves 5 at the ends for placing the plate strip in a frame work or if this step is not made on another way except various possibilities.

Claims: Claims 1. Suspension device for document storing tube in a system, where the tubes are placed next vertical so that their intersection areas cover the suspension area as much as possible characterized in that the suspension device is composed of a plate strip (1) which on a lower edge has a couple of scores (2) with hooks (3), which make possible to suspend the tube on projections inside a usual cover, principally intended to facilitate extraction of the cover. 2. A suspension device according to claim 1 characterized in that the lower edge of the plate strip (1) has several couples of scores (2) with hooks for suspending of tubes of various dimen¬ sion. 3. A suspension device according to claim 2 characterized in that every score form a couple of scores (2) with another score at least for two tubes of different dimension. 4. A suspension device according to claim 1 characterized in that the upper edge of plate ships (1) has one incision (4) or more for fixing an address-label or labels.
