ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a holder, in particular a wall holder, for flip boards and flip pockets and flip sheaths which are provided in the region of the upper and lower end of one of their edges with swivel bearings for pins arranged in each case in a row at the upper and lower edge of the holder.
Holders of the above type are widely used, in particular in offices, laboratories, workshops and supermarkets. They are easy to manipulate and permit the user rapid access to information contained in subject indexes, lists, standard sheets, price lists and similar documents. Holders of the type described are known which comprise a metal basic body and plastic injection-molded parts connected thereto by rivets, the injection-molded parts being provided with a row of pins in each case. The reasons for the multipartite design of the known holders are to be found in the fact that an attempt was being made, on the one hand, to ensure the stability of the holder by means of its metal basic body and, on the other hand, to keep the costs for producing the rows of pins within reasonable bounds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the object of the invention to provide a holder of the type under consideration whose basic body can be produced in one work operation together with the rows of pins, and which meets high demands with regard both to its stability and to its production costs. This object is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the holder has a shell-shaped basic body constructed as an injection-molded part and with a rear wall which is provided in the region of the pins with windows whose height is greater than the length and whose breadth is greater than the diameter of the pins, one edge of each window being aligned in each case with the inside of an end wall of the basic body bearing the pins of in each case one row of pins.
The holder according to the invention offers the advantage that, in conjunction with accessories formed by roller-shaped inserts, it can be more effectively adapted than known holders to spatial and application-specific features. The use of clamping jaws for holding the inserts permits not only rapid and convenient attachment as well as exchange of said inserts, but also, in the case of the use of the holder in conjunction with holding columns, permits the height and/or angular position of the holder with respect to the holding columns to be set in a fashion adapted to the respective situation.
