Elongate body 121 suitably is the solid that has the essentially rectangular section shape and 143 places have fillet 141 (or nose circle) in the opposite end.The lateral edges 147 of main body 121 is also suitably by top rake or otherwise round/flatten cunning, so that main body 121 does not have the sharp features that possibility tangles clothing or harm people.Main body 121 shown in the figure has roughly homogeneous thickness T1 (Fig. 4).Hole 145 is arranged on it along the longitudinal axis of main body 121 and is used to receive pin securing member 115 (as shown in the figure), rivet or is used for band mechanism 105 is fastened to each position between the end 143 of notebook strip of paper used for sealing 103 or other suprabasil securing members that other is fit to.For example, the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 has and the hole 145 of respectively holding 143 vicinities of main body 121 and the 3rd holes between two rings 123.Hole 145 is suitably spaced apart in the vertical with ring 123.

Each ring 123 comprises that first annular construction member and second annular construction member, 125, the first annular construction members and second annular construction member 125 extend and supported by elongate body 121 from elongate body 121.(Reference numeral for annular construction member and other paired structure can comprise that suffix " a " and " b " represent to refer to specific in the paired structure, still, when suffix can not influence the definition of explanation, will save suffix.) for example, the annular construction member 125 of each ring 123 suitably extends from the opposite side of main body 121, as shown in fig. 1.At least the end 127 of annular construction member 125 can relative to each other be moved between closing position (Fig. 1) and open position (Fig. 7).On closing position, annular construction member 125 forms roughly continuous, closed clasp together, is used to allow the loose-leaf LLP (Figure 10) by ring 123 keeps to move to another annular construction member 125b along described ring from an annular construction member 125a.On open position (Fig. 7), annular construction member 125 forms clasp discontinuous, that open, is used to add loose-leaf or removes loose-leaf from encircling 123.

When annular construction member is shown in an open position (Fig. 7), comprise that the band mechanism 105 of main body 121 and annular construction member 125 is in not deformation state.And on open position, annular construction member 125 is positioned in the roughly the same mode that the annular construction member with common metal band mechanism is shown in an open position.For example, on open position, the end 127 of annular construction member 125 is suitably roughly above main body 121.When being in when not being out of shape on the open position, the end 127 of annular construction member 125 also roughly extends internally toward each other.The straight dashed line prodger 151 of the end 127 of annular construction member 125 intersects each other with the angle A (Fig. 8) greater than about 75 degree not opening on the deformation position, described angle A is more suitably greater than about 85 degree, more suitably greater than about 90 degree, more suitably greater than about 120 degree, and more suitably be at least about 150 degree.Because page or leaf does not need to reorientate significantly so that page or leaf is shifted between annular construction member 125, when ring was shown in an open position, big relatively angle A was convenient to loose-leaf and is transferred to another annular construction member from an annular construction member.

Be not out of shape on the open position end 127 distance D 1 (Fig. 8) that is enough to allow to add an above loose-leaf (for example, a plurality of pages or leaves are stacked to together) and/or removes an above loose-leaf from ring that yet is spaced apart from each other.For example, as shown in Figure 7, when ring is in when opening not on the deformation position, suitably exist between the opposite end 143 of main body 121 and the roughly straight gap 135 of between the end 127 of the annular construction member above the main body 125, longitudinally extending.In illustrated embodiment, the width in gap 135 equates with the distance D of opening between the end 127 that is not out of shape annular construction member 125 1.On open position, gap 135 has no any structure of band mechanism, so that during loose-leaf can be inserted into gap between the end 127 of annular construction member 125 along the edge, and do not make the annular construction member distortion or make a page flexing.

Also expectation is, the distance D 1 between the end 127 of annular construction member 125 is enough little, so the user can easily be crossed gap 135 loose-leaf is moved to another annular construction member from an annular construction member.The distance D 1 that is between the end 127 that is not out of shape the annular construction member on the open position can change according to the size of ring 123.Usually, for bigger ring, the gap 135 between the end 127 of annular construction member is bigger, and for than circlet, the gap 135 between the end 127 of annular construction member is less.Generally speaking, distance D 1 is between about 10mm and about 45mm.For example, distance D 1 between the end 127 of the annular construction member of opening 125 is suitably selected from the group that comprises following value scope: (1) is under the situation with the annular construction member that is not more than about 1 inch (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 10mm and about 30mm; (2) has scope under the situation of the ring of about 1.0 inches extremely about 1.5 inches diameters (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 13mm and about 35mm; (3) has scope under the situation of about 1.5 inches extremely about 2.0 inches diameters (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 16mm and about 40mm; And (4) are under situation about having greater than the ring of about 2 inches diameter, between about 20mm and about 45mm.

At least one annular construction member 125 elastically deformable of each ring 123 move to closing position (Fig. 1) so that will encircle from open position (Fig. 7).As shown in the figure, each ring each annular construction member 125 deformable of 123 and with respect to main body 121 move in case between open position and closing position shift(ing) ring.For example, each in the annular construction member 125 is constructed such that suitably this annular construction member has the relative flexible segmentation 133 adjacent with main body 121, and wherein main body 121 supports the relative inlexibility segmentation 131 of the end 127 that extends to annular construction member.In illustrated embodiment, the flat relatively segmentation of the hinge connection (for example, " hinges ") between main body 121 and the hard relatively segmentation 131 is extended and is formed in flexible segmentation 133 for the sidepiece 147 from main body 121 of annular construction member 125.

Can be by changing annular construction member in main body 121 with hold the size and dimension of the section of annular construction member 125 when extending between 127 to control the pliability of the segmentation 131,133 of annular construction member.As shown in the figure, the flexible segmentation 133 of annular construction member 125 is included in its attenuation part with thickness T 2 (Fig. 5) of thin position less than the thickness T 1 of main body 121.As shown in Figure 6, flexible segmentation is associated with arc recess 137, and arc recess 137 is producing attenuation speed faster and producing the attenuation speed that reduces at the part adjacent with the minimum thickness with flexible segmentation with harder segmentation 131 places.

Each attenuation part can be associated with the arc recess 137 of attenuation part above and below, as shown in Figure 6.The attenuation part can also be associated with single arc recess.For example, flexible segmentation 133 can have the single arc recess 137 below the attenuation part, so that the top of attenuation part is concordant with the upper surface of main body 121, as shown in Figure 6A.What can expect is to make the upper surface of flexible segmentation 133 concordant with the upper surface of main body 121, to reduce the risk that loose-leaf may be tangled or tear when the inner surface along ring 123 slides.Should be understood that described herein is a kind of mode that obtains relative flexible attenuation annular section with the arc recess of explaination, and existence makes the alternate manner of flexible circular member part in scope of the present utility model.It is to be further understood that arc recess 137 does not need to produce the flex section of annular construction member.

The section shape of each annular construction member 125 is along most of at least length substantially constants of harder segmentation 131 relatively.Especially, each annular construction member 125 has segmentation, described segmentation has substantially invariable section shape, described section shape is along the periphery (for example, circular, substantially elliptical or roughly oval) that is at least about 25mm for 1 inch ring, is at least about 35mm, is at least about 48mm and has the continuously smooth shown in Fig. 5 A for the arc length that 3 inches rings are at least about 74mm for 2 inches rings for 1.5 inches rings.Because this shape minimizes surface area and the loss of caloric restriction and pressure during forming processes, the inventor has determined to expect that the long relatively segmentation for each annular construction member 125 uses the circular section shape.Be convenient to like this produce high-quality part in the required time decreased of each cycle of plastic-blasting shaped device making.And because section shape is around its periphery level and smooth continuously (for example, being circular), this section shape does not exist in loose-leaf may be increased wearing and tearing or damage the edge of loose-leaf or angle and make paper move more smoothly along ring when ring 123 moves.The part adjacent with flex section 133 of hard relatively segmentation 131 little by little and smoothly is transformed into the shape of the flex section of annular segments from the circular section shape.

For annular construction member 125 is moved on the closing position, annular construction member as shown in Figure 9 strain with form closed hoop (for example, by curved end 127 (Fig. 9 (a)) toward each other up to end intersection or overlapping (Fig. 9 (b)).Compare to show by annular construction member 125 and know that the relative thin that the flexing of noticing annular construction member 125 is focused on the flexible segmentation 133 of annular construction member 125 is partly located (closing position) among (open position) and Fig. 5 among Fig. 8.When being in the close position (Fig. 9 (c)), annular construction member 125 is setovered so that move towards open position by intrinsic elastic restoring force wherein.

Maintenance system 161 (Fig. 5 and Fig. 7-9) is exercisable, so that prop up the biasing of the elastic restoring force in the annular construction member annular construction member 125 optionally and is releasedly remained on the closing position.In illustrated embodiment, maintenance system 161 comprises the formation portion 163 on the end 127b of an annular construction member 125b, described formation portion 163 can operate with the formation portion 165 on the end 127a that engages another annular construction member 125a, makes relatively moving away from closing position between the end 127 of formation portion 163,165 restriction annular construction members 125.As shown in the figure, for example, the first formation portion 163 suitably is included on the direction with the longitudinal axis almost parallel of main body 121 from the extended post of end 127b, and the second formation portion 165 comprises opening, and the direction that described opening extends along the longitudinal axis almost parallel ground with main body connects end 127a and can operate and catch described post when being inserted in the described opening with the described post of box lunch releasedly.

For ring is moved on the closing position, the annular construction member distortion so that relatively the end 127 of annular construction member reach the position that overlaps each other so that the post 163 on the first end 127b aims at the opening 165 among the other end 127a, as shown in Fig. 9 (b).Then, the end 127 of mobile annular construction member is so that be inserted into post 163 in the opening 165 along the direction with the longitudinal axis almost parallel of main body 121.Post 163 and opening 165 have suitable size and dimension, return from described opening so that described post is resisted in the friction between described post and the described opening.For example, the size of opening 165 and post 163 and tolerance can be designed as the formation stationary fit.As long as described post remains in the described opening, the joint between the edge of post 163 and opening 165 hinders moving of annular construction member, so that separate the end 127 of annular construction member.

It is roughly concordant each other that the shape of the end 127 of annular construction member 125 also is designed to the opposed face 171 of suitable opposite end, and any gap minimum between the opposed face of annular construction member, so as at page or leaf from an annular construction member moves to another annular construction member time restriction loose-leaf hangs in the maintenance system chance.And, the minimum clearance of section shape between annular construction member of the lap of the end 127 of the annular construction member 125 that is in the close position (Fig. 5 B) along its periphery level and smooth continuously (for example, circular).In addition, the section shape of set end of annular construction member 125 that is in the close position (Fig. 5 B) is similar to the section shape along the segmentation with constant section shape (Fig. 5 A) of each annular construction member.The whole section shape of the closed hoop of illustrated embodiment is the constant from start to finish of the harder relatively segmentation 131b from the relative harder segmentation 131a of an annular construction member 125a to relative annular construction member 125b above overlapping ends 127 and maintenance system 161.

In order to open ring, move and (Fig. 9 (d)) away from each other, so that from opening 165, return post 163 and the end 127 of annular construction member is separated from each other the end 127 of annular construction member 125 and the longitudinal axis almost parallel of main body 121.In case the end 127 of annular construction member 125 is separately, the elastic restoring force in the annular construction member and/or by user's applied force annular construction member is moved back into their open position.Because need be separated from each other with the power of the longitudinal axis almost parallel ground effect of main body 121 end 127 with annular construction member 125, maintenance system 161 prevents because the loose-leaf applied force of being held by environmental protection and will encircle 123 and by mistake open.Weight by ring 123 loose-leaves that kept applies power towards an above annular construction member 125 of the radially outer traction of open position sometimes on ring.The inventor has realized that, improbablely between the conventional operating period of band mechanism 105 be on ring, to apply the power that is easy to along the end 127 of annular construction member being separated with the direction of the longitudinal axis almost parallel of the main body 121 of band mechanism by the weight of ring 123 loose-leaves that kept.For example, impossiblely be, the weight of loose-leaf can be applied on the end 127 of an annular construction member 125, and along this end of longitudinal traction, the end of another annular construction member is held or along opposite vertically being pulled simultaneously.Yet, possible is, the any longitudinal force that is applied to by the weight of loose-leaf on the end 127 of an annular construction member 125 also will be applied on the end of another annular construction member, tend to the end of mobile annular construction member conjointly, so that described end keeps connecting rather than the separation that becomes.Therefore, maintenance system 161 can advantageously be designed to allow the user who wants to open ring 123 and open ring 123 relatively easily, and meanwhile provides the resistance of essence to stop being not intended to that the weight of the loose-leaf that is kept by ring causes encircling to be opened.

Figure 11-15 shows second embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 205.Except cited below, illustrated embodiment 105 is similar substantially among this embodiment and top illustrated and Fig. 1-10.As shown in figure 13, the main body 221 of this band loose-leaf binder has the integral thickness T3 greater than the integral thickness T1 of aforesaid main body.In addition, main body 221 has top 255 and the downward sidepiece 257 that extends from described top.Also reinforce main body 221 by rib 275 (Figure 12).Especially, main body 221 has a longitudinal rib 277 that extends along the central axis of main body.Longitudinal rib 277 extends between the relative round nose 243 of main body 221 from start to finish.Main body 221 also be included in extend between the sidepiece 257 of main body and with a series of cross ribs 279 of longitudinal rib 277 approximate vertical.Along the encircling 223 identical axial positions with each and have cross rib 279 of main body, wherein said each ring 223 is to construct with the roughly the same mode of above-mentioned ring 123.As shown in the figure, also exist along the cross rib 279 of the main body axial location between the ring 223 (for example, the midpoint between ring).The rib 277,279 of main body 221 and sidepiece 257 expect more that for the capacity owing to thinner main body 121 resulting increases than above-mentioned band loose-leaf binder mechanism 105 application of more steady structure provides more steady structure.The structure with ribbing of main body 221 also uses and is compared to the required material less material of solid construction body with same intensity.

Figure 16-27 illustrates the 3rd embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 305.Except cited below, the band mechanism 105 of explanation is roughly the same among this band mechanism 305 and Fig. 1-10.The main body 321 of the band loose-leaf binder among this embodiment has with the main body 121 of first embodiment 105 to be compared with respect to encircling different orientations.Especially, main body 321 is for having the roughly dull and stereotyped of corresponding main surfaces 355.Annular construction member 325 extends from the first type surface 355 of main body 321.By to the roughly similar flexible segmentation 333 of the flexible segmentation 133 of first embodiment annular construction member 325 being attached to main body, and it is basic identical to encircle 323 open and close and ring recited above 123.Band mechanism 305 also comprises installing plate 357, and described installing plate 357 is suitable for being fastened to notebook strip of paper used for sealing 103 or other substrate.Installing plate 357 suitably is pivotally connected to the main body 321 to band mechanism 305.For example, as shown in the figure, installing plate 357 is connected to main body 321 in main body with ring 323 roughly relative sides by hinges 359.As mentioned above, but installing plate 357, main body 321 and encircle 323 and suitably form one by molded polymeric material.When installing plate 357 was fastened to the spine 107 of notebook strip of paper used for sealing 103 or other substrate, main body 321 can pivot on hinge 359 with respect to substrate and installing plate, shown in Figure 22-27.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, the type of the band mechanism shown in Figure 16-27 is sometimes referred to as " turning to ", because pliability, " turn to " be set to panel 109,111 flexings are bent back on self and with loose-leaf be arranged so that some pages on the top of panel and some pages below panel, as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 28-33 illustrates the 4th embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 405.Except cited below, this band mechanism 405 and mechanism recited above 105 are basic identical.And the annular construction member 125 of said mechanism 105 move with ring be installed in by many common metal ring binders of the type on the metal shell institute hinge supported plate similar substantially, the moving and the ring of the arc mechanism of common metal bar mobile similar substantially of the open and close of the ring 423 of the mechanism shown in Figure 28-33.But the ring 423 of this mechanism 405 comprises annular construction member 425b that can move with respect to main body 421 and basic fixed its can be during ring 423 open and closes with respect to the main body perception another annular construction member 425a of moving.Removable annular construction member 425b has flexible relatively segmentation 433, and flexible relatively segmentation 433 is connected to main body 421 with above-mentioned flexible segmentation 133 annular construction member 123 is connected to the roughly the same mode of the main body 121 of mechanism 105 with removable annular construction member 425b.Another annular construction member 425a suitably comprises from main body 421 upwardly extending roughly straight cylindrical bars.Mechanism 405 comprises the maintenance system 461 similar substantially to above-mentioned maintenance system 161.As mentioned above, but main body 421 and ring 423 suitably form one by molded polymeric material.

Figure 34-42 illustrates the 5th embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 505.Except cited below, this band mechanism 505 is similar substantially to said mechanism 205.In this band mechanism, each annular construction member 525 is connected to main body 521 by hinges 533, described hinges 533 with the direction of the longitudinal axis almost parallel of main body 521 on extend along main body.But main body 521, hinges 533 and annular construction member 525 form one together by molded polymeric material.

As shown in Figure 36, hinges 533 is positioned at groove 581 along the opposite side portion 547 of main body 521.Especially, with reference to Figure 40, the thinnest segmentation 559 of each hinges main body 521 axially on extend and be positioned within the adjacent side 547 of main body 521.In addition, the thinnest segmentation 559 is within the sidepiece 547 in main body 521 on ring 523 open position and the closing position and remain within the sidepiece of main body when annular construction member is mobile between open position and closing position.As Figure 41 and shown in Figure 42, the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 is limited by the upper surface of hinges and the arc recess 537 in the lower surface.When ring 523 is in when opening not on the deformation position, arc recess suitably has the big relatively radius of curvature in about 2.0mm scope extremely at about 0.5mm.When ring 523 is in the close position on (Figure 40), since the distortion of hinges 533, the shape difference of recess 537.Except above being mentioned, relevant with the shape of recess 537 here statement refers to when ring 523 and is shown in an open position and the shape of hinges 533 recess when being in not deformation structure.

The shape of arc recess 537 is designed to form the longitudinal extension rib 557 outside the thinnest segmentation 559 that is positioned at hinges 533.Rib 557 is suitably supported fully by the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533, so that the thinnest segmentation of hinges only is the rib of main body 521 and the connection between the remainder.The outer edge of rib 557 is suitably with sidepiece 547 rough alignment of main body 521 or be positioned at slightly outside the sidepiece 547 of main body 521.Rib 557 has the roughly thicker thickness T 3 of thickness T 4 of thin segmentation than hinges 533 at its outer edge place.For example, rib 557 in the thickness T 3 at its outer edge place suitably at about 1.5mm to the scope of about 5.0mm, and the thickness T 4 of the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 is suitably at about 0.25mm extremely in the scope of about 0.9mm.

The cardinal extremity of annular construction member 523 is attached to the rib 557 of corresponding hinges 533 at the outer edge place of rib.The thickness T 3 of each rib 557 at its outer edge place suitably approximates the thickness T 5 of the cardinal extremity that is attached to rib of corresponding annular construction member 523.Arc recess 537 produces level and smooth transformation between the outer edge of the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 and rib 557.Because hinges 533 increases along arc recess continuously from the speed of the thickness increase of the thinnest segmentation 559 outside mobile hinges 533, the bulk strength and the durability of hinges have increased.And arc recess 537 extends from the position of position outside the thinnest segmentation of hinges within the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 in the mode of continuous bend.Therefore, the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 is constructed to the thin linear segment that extends axially of hinges.For example, when watching in profile, shown in Figure 40-42, the thinnest segmentation of hinges only is an a single point, and hinges 533 is transformed into smoothly within this point and outside big thickness.

Hinges 533 has the axial length L 1 (Figure 36) than axial length L 2 length of annular construction member 525 separately.The axial length of the thinnest segmentation 559 by measuring hinges is determined the axial length L 1 of hinges 533.The length L 1 of hinges 533 suitably is at least three times of axial length L 2 of annular construction member 525.As another example, the length L 1 of hinges 533 suitably be at least about one inch 5/8.The axial length of hinges 533 is shorter than the groove 581 that receives hinges 533.Therefore, between the end of the end of the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges and groove, there is little gap 583 at the place of end to axial of hinges 533.The size in gap 583 can change in scope of the present utility model.Because with the main body 521 of band mechanism 505 and being moved apart of hinges 533, gap 583 is favourable at the end place of groove 581 in gap 583.Because gap 583, the axial end of the thinnest segmentation 559 of hinges 533 can move with respect to main body 521 during moving between open position and the closing position at annular construction member 525.If gap 583 is also limited or is avoided main body 521 that the axial end of hinges 533 is connected directly to the stress that the side of groove 581 may cause transverse to the gap and concentrate.Gap 583 is suitably relatively little, so that the sidepiece 547 of main body 521 provides better shielding (for example, during using mechanism, protection hinges 533 avoids the accident collision with other object) for hinges 533.

Band loose-leaf binder mechanism 505 also comprises maintenance system 561, and maintenance system 561 optionally and releasedly remains on annular construction member 525 on the closing position.Except cited below, maintenance system 561 is similar to above-mentioned maintenance system 161.With reference to Figure 37 and Figure 38, the interlocking formation portion on the end 527b of an annular construction member 525b comprises from having free-ended main body 521 axially extended at least one prodger 563 (for example, post).As shown in Figure 38, for example, the interlocking formation portion on another annular construction member 525a suitably extends axially opening 565 for what be used to receive prodger 563.

The size of opening 565 suitably is designed to: when annular construction member 525 when non-holding position moves to the holding position, with respect at least one prodger 563 of the inside elastic compression of the radial axis of opening.Opening 565 suitably is suitable for: when prodger is inserted in the opening, radially inwardly push prodger 563 along a plurality of different directions.Equally, prodger 563 suitably is suitable for: when prodger is inserted in the opening, apply radially outer power on opening 565.Opening 565 suitably has elongated slightly (for example, oval) section shape, as shown in figure 42, although opening can have other shape in broad range of the present utility model.Shown in the arrow on Figure 39, annular construction member 525 moves mobile basic identical with for above-mentioned maintenance system 161 during ring 523 open and closes.

As shown in Figure 37 and Figure 38, prodger 563 suitably comprises at least a plurality of fingers 575 that the free end in prodger is spaced apart from each other.The quantity of finger can change in scope of the present utility model.In Figure 37 and Figure 38, each prodger 563 has the concentrated area and forms two fingers 575 that extend axially post.In illustrated embodiment, finger 575 is connected to the end 527b of annular construction member 525b and keeps separated from one another along the whole length that extends axially post/prodger 562 at their cardinal extremity place.Yet what can envision is that finger 575 can only be separated from each other along a part that extends axially prodger 563.For example, finger can be separated from each other at the free end of prodger, and be connected to the cardinal extremity place of end of annular construction member in the prodger of prodger not separated each other.

At least one space 571 is included in the prodger 563 and is suitable for making: when interlocking formation portion 563,565 was mobile between holding position and non-holding position, at least a portion in described space formed portion's elastic compression by the interlocking on the end 527a of relative annular construction member 525a.In illustrated embodiment, extend between the finger of prodger 563 in space 571.Especially, space 571 suitably from the free end shaft of prodger to extending to prodger 563.As shown in Figure 38, space 571 suitably is the elongate slit that extends between finger 575.The slit that forms space 571 suitably laterally extends perforation prodger 563 from start to finish between the opposite end of prodger.The axial length that connects prodger 563 is roughly extended in the space 571 suitably cardinal extremity from the free end to the prodger from start to finish.And in illustrated embodiment, space 571 comprises that 571a of first between finger 575 and the cardinal extremity that extends across prodger 563 enter the second portion 571b among the end 527b of annular construction member 525b.As shown in Figure 40, for example, the space 571 suitably side from the free end of the prodger 563 on the side of the end of annular construction member to the end 572b of the annular construction member relative with described prodger extends axially end 527b by annular construction member 525b from start to finish.

Because space 571 extends across the cardinal extremity of prodger 563, there is not too unexpected variation in the thickness of position forming polymer material that is connected to the end 527b of annular construction member 525b at the finger 575 of prodger.This provides several advantages, for example when moulding paradigmatic structure contingent mitigation problem when removing inhomogeneous cooling afterwards from mould.Can improve the durability of prodger 563 like this.And because space 571 connects the end 527b of annular construction members, the part farthest of the end 527b of annular construction member 525b is connected to the remainder of annular construction member by a pair of arm 579 of 571 the opposite side above and below of space (for example) in the space.When prodger 563 is inserted in the opening 565 in the end 527a of another annular construction member 525a, arm 579 can be atomic degree ground flexing, concentrate to help to relax the stress that (for example, is connected to the position of the end 527b of annular construction member 525b) in the prodger 563 at finger 575.This also can improve the durability of prodger 563 and the performance of maintenance system 561 in a plurality of open and close in the cycle.Mechanism 501 can also be convenient to remove in space 571 from mould.

Figure 58-63 illustrates the tenth embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 1005.Except cited below, this band mechanism 1005 is basic identical with said mechanism 505.Hinges 1033 and above-mentioned hinges 533 are basic identical except following 2: hinge 1033 is not arranged in groove along the sidepiece of main body 1021, and hinge between adjacent ring 1023 (for example, continuously along the whole sidepiece of main body) extend, so that a plurality of annular construction member 1025 is fixed on the main body by the single-unit activity hinge.For example, suitably have single-unit activity hinge 1033 on each sidepiece of main body 1021, described single-unit activity hinge 1033 is supported on all annular construction members 1025 on this sidepiece of main body, is used for moving between the open position of pivot swivel 1023 and the closing position.As shown in Figure 63, hinges 1033 suitably has enough pliabilities, with allow a ring annular construction member 1025 of 1023 be independent of its annular construction member be connected to the same campaign hinge adjacent ring annular construction member and pivoted.Band mechanism 1005 comprises the maintenance system 1061 similar substantially to above-mentioned maintenance system 561.

Figure 64-72 illustrates the 11 embodiment of band loose-leaf binder mechanism 1105.Band mechanism 1105 comprises the elongate body 1121 that supports a plurality of rings 1123 (for example, three rings as shown in fig. 1) that are used to keep loose-leaf.But main body 1121 suitably forms a monolithic construction of being made by molded polymeric material.

With reference to Figure 64 and Figure 67, the sidepiece 1157 that main body 1121 has top 1155 and extends downwards from described top.Main body 1121 in the illustrated embodiment has the essentially rectangular shape and at the fillet 1141 at its 1143 places, opposite end.Also suitably proached talent or otherwise rounded/flatten cunning in the upper edge angle 1147 of main body 1121, so that main body does not have the sharp features that possibility tangles clothing or harm people.Main body 1121 has in each position between the end 1143 that band mechanism 1105 is fastened to notebook strip of paper used for sealing 103 or other suprabasil rivet, pin securing member or other securing member (not shown) that is fit to of being used to admit along vertical axial main body of main body and connects the hole 1145 of main body.For example, as shown in Figure 64, the main body 1121 in the illustrated embodiment has and the contiguous hole 1145 and the 3rd holes between two rings 1123 of every end 1143 of main body 1121.Hole 1145 is suitably spaced apart with ring 1123 in the vertical.The band mechanism body is fastened to the alternate manner of substrate, comprises that those methods that do not need the hole in the main body are within scope of the present utility model.

Also use from the top 1155 extended ribs 1175 (Figure 65) of main body and reinforce main body 1121.Especially, main body 1121 has the longitudinal rib 1177 (for example, two longitudinal ribs) that extends between ring 1123 along the central axis of main body between the sidepiece 1157 and roughly.Cyclic rib 1185 extends around hole 1145.Between two segmentations of cyclic rib 1185 at a longitudinal rib 1177 of extending in the hole between two rings 1,123 1145.Another longitudinal rib 1177 in the illustrated embodiment is from extending continuously to encircling contiguous position with another with the position of ring 1123 vicinities.Main body 1121 also be included in extend between the sidepiece 1157 of main body and with a series of cross ribs 1179 of longitudinal rib 1177 approximate vertical.Cross rib 1179 suitably intersects with longitudinal rib 1177 in each position along the axis of main body 1121.The sidepiece 1157 of rib 1175 and main body 1121 uses the material less material more required than the solid construction body with same intensity to provide steady structure as main body.

Each ring 1123 comprises first annular construction member and second annular construction member 1125, and described first annular construction member and second annular construction member 1125 extend and supported by elongate body 1121 from elongate body 1121.For example, the annular construction member 1125 of each ring 1123 suitably extends from the opposite side portion 1157 of main body 1121, as shown in Figure 64.Annular construction member 1125 can relative to each other move between closing position (Figure 64-65) and open position (Figure 70 and Figure 71).

At least one annular construction member is independent of main body and forms.Shown in Figure 72, for example, each annular construction member 1125 suitably is independent of main body 1121 and forms.Each annular construction member 1125 also is independent of other each annular construction member and forms.Each annular construction member 1125 has the annular section 1137 that is fastened to anchor log 1131, and anchor log 1131 can be installed as and be used to the moving with respect to main body 1121 that pivot.But each the single annular member 1125 that comprises annular section 1137 and each anchor log 1131 thereof suitably is formed integrally as one (for example, by the plastic-blasting forming processes) by molded polymeric material.Annular construction member 1125 suitably by allow the annular construction member strain with utilize to above-mentioned maintenance system 161,561,661,761,861 in any suitably similar substantially maintenance system 1161 come the material of closed hoop 1123 to make.Annular construction member 1125 can be by making with main body 1121 or annular construction member identical materials, and main body can be made by the different materials in scope of the present utility model.

The main body 1121 of mechanism 1105 has rib 1175 and sidepiece 1157, and described rib 1175 and sidepiece 1157 are configured to define the receiver 1135 that is used to admit and keep anchor log 1197.Anchor log 1131 and receiver 1135 suitably are constructed to make anchor log to snap onto at the assembly process of band mechanism 1105 in the receiver, so that annular construction member 1125 is fastened on the main body 1121.It is suitably contiguous with the opposite side portion 1157 of main body 1121 to the receiver 1135 of annular construction member 1125 to be used for each.As shown in Figure 65 and Figure 66, each receiver 1135 is a boundary with the segmentation of sidepiece 1157, from the inwardly spaced longitudinal extension rib 1181 of sidepiece with at two cross ribs 1179 that the side to axial of ring 1123 is breathed out mulberry.In the embodiment shown in Figure 65, rib 1175 is constructed to make and has gap 1183 between the receiver 1135 of the annular construction member 1125 that is used for each ring 1123.Yet, should be understood that the structure of the rib 1175 shown in the figure only is an example, and in scope of the present utility model, have the alternate manner that main-body structure is become to receive annular construction member anchor log 1131.

Shown in Figure 72, each annular construction member anchor log 1131 is relatively little elongate rod (the substantial cylindrical bar that for example, has circular section as shown in the figure).Receiver 1135 in the main body 1121 is suitable on the orientation of the longitudinal axis almost parallel that receives bar 1131 and bar 1131 is remained on bar and main body 1121.Main body 1121 suitably has keeper 1191, and keeper 1191 is orientated as and extended transverse in each receiver 1135, so that anchor log 1131 is remained in the receiver.For example, as shown in Figure 66 and Figure 69, keeper 1191 laterally inwardly extends towards the longitudinal centre line of main body from the sidepiece 1157 of main body 1121.Keeper 1191 suitably is constructed to make and can snaps onto in the receiver 1135 at band mechanism 1105 assembly process anchor logs 1131.

In main body 1121, there is the opening 1167 that extends the upper surface that connects main body from keeper 1191.Opening 1167 suitably is positioned at the roughly top of laterally inwardly extending keeper 1191, so that only there is void space above keeper in main body.The people who is familiar with the plastic-blasting forming technique will be appreciated that opening 1167 allows to use how simply and continue the design of long mould than the situation of the equivalents that does not have opening produce main body 1121 in the plastic-blasting forming processes.For example, opening 1167 is suitably made to the prodger of the upper surface extension of keeper by a side from mould.These prodgers help stationary body 1121, have produced the mould design of not undercutting of the part keeper 1191 of mould.Yet, can use the main body that does not comprise any opening, and not depart from scope of the present utility model.

Shown in Figure 66, on the sidepiece 1157 of each keeper 1191 that the vicinity that recess 1111 is positioned at main body 1121 and annular construction member 1125 are relative.Recess 1111 separates the part of the carrying keeper 1191 of sidewall 1157 remainder with sidewall.Be convenient to the part flexing of the carrying keeper 1191 of sidewall 1157 like this when snapping onto in the receiver 1135 at anchor log 1131.

As shown in Figure 66, suitably to be received within the side of end of receiver 1135 wherein contiguous related with the qualification cross rib 1179 of cross rib 1179 for the end of anchor log 1131.Therefore, anchor log 1131 and cross rib 1179 keep annular section 1137 and recess 1193 registrations, therefore the size of recess can be designed to annular section provides basic gap, and the lengthwise position that does not cause annular construction member 1125 moving around significantly or beat with respect to main body 1121.This also allows the annular section 1137 of annular construction member 1125 to move between open position and closing position, and the side of the recess 1193 that do not wear and tear.

In case keeper 1191 provides the main resistance that removes annular construction member anchor log 1131 from receiver 1135 on the appropriate location although anchor log snaps onto, the further feature spare of keeper 1191 and main body 1121 provides relative little resistance for the annular construction member 1125 that is kept pivots with respect to main body.For example, anchor log 1131 has the section shape of circular, and the shape with the surface that the comprises keeper 1191 anchor log vicinity main body 1121 is designed to meet substantially the exterior cylindrical surfaces of anchor log, therefore main body be the pivot of the anchor log in the receiver 1135 move (for example, around consistent with the axis of anchor log and with the pivot axis of the long axis almost parallel of main body) relatively little resistance is provided.Therefore, the user can be easy to manually that the annular construction member 1125 of each ring 1123 is mobile between open position and closing position by the annular construction member in the pivot receiver 1135.

Also expectation is, distance D between the end 1127 of the annular construction member 1125 that is shown in an open position 2 is enough little to move to another annular construction member with loose-leaf from an annular construction member so that the user can be easy to cross gap 1197.As shown in Figure 71, the opening of annular construction member 1125 of crossing open position suitably is subjected to annular construction member to engage restriction with the plane surface that strip of paper used for sealing 103 or band mechanism 1105 are fastened to its other substrate.Distance D 2 between the end 1127 of the annular construction member 1125 that is shown in an open position can change according to the size of ring 1123.Usually, for bigger ring, the clearance D 2 between the end 1127 of annular construction member 1125 is bigger, and for than circlet, the clearance D 2 between the end 1127 of annular construction member 1125 is less.Distance D 2 is usually between about 10mm and about 45mm.For example, distance D 2 between the end 1127 of the annular construction member of opening 1125 is suitably selected from the group that comprises following value scope: (1) is under the situation with the annular construction member that is not more than about 1 inch diameter (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 10mm and about 30mm; (2) has scope under the situation of the ring of about 1.0 inches extremely about 1.5 inches diameters (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 13mm and about 35mm; (3) has scope under the situation of the ring of about 1.5 inches extremely about 2.0 inches diameters (perhaps have under the situation at non-circular ring and be equal to loose-leaf maintenance capacity), between about 16mm and about 40mm; And (4) are under situation about having greater than the ring of about 2 inches diameter, between about 20mm and about 45mm.

Figure 73 illustrates another embodiment 1205 of band loose-leaf binder, and except cited below, this band loose-leaf binder and above-mentioned band loose-leaf binder 1105 are basic identical.The receiver 1235 that is used for the main body 1221 of anchor log 1231 in this embodiment has the axial length above the axial length of anchor log.For annular construction member 1225, recess 1269 and recess 1293 at interval must at interval must be far away than above-mentioned corresponding recess 1111.When anchor log 1231 snapped onto in the receiver, recess 1211 still allowed the part flexing of the carrying keeper 1291 of sidewall 1257, but owing to these parts that increased the length sidewall are stronger.Main body 1221 comprises the stop part 1269 in the receiver, the end of the position of described stop part 1269 and anchor log 1231 is contiguous, annular construction member 1225 is remained on respect to main body 1221 and the expectation axial location that is formed on the recess 1293 of the sidewall 1257 that is used for annular construction member.

Because annular construction member 1125 forms separately with main body 1121, a plurality of mechanisms 1105 can transport under the state of dismounting to reduce cost of transportation and to assemble after being transported to.For example, can in a container, transport several main bodys 1121, and have a plurality of annular construction members 1125 at identical or different another container in transit.Selectively, main body 1121 and annular construction member 1125 can in same containers, transport together (for example, in a polybag or other candidate's container with main body, perhaps in another polybag or other candidate's container with annular construction member).The band mechanism 1105 of dismounting takies than transporting the required much smaller spatial volume of the band mechanism that is in assembled state, and this may save great amount of cost.

Another advantage that annular construction member 1125 and main body 1121 are separated is, ring 1123 can be easily made by the material with color different with main body 1121.And some annular construction members 1125 on the particular organization 1105 can easily be made by the material with color different with other annular construction member on the same mechanism.

And the quality of the annular construction member 1125 of mechanism 1105 has bigger influence for the overall performance comparison main body 1121 of mechanism 1105.Therefore, if comparing with the performance standard of annular construction member, the performance standard of main body 1121 reduced, then the performance of band mechanism 1105 can not reduce (for example, so that make that cost is cheap and/or obtain being used to making main body be easier to the material that can recycle such as polypropylene etc.) greatly.

And same body 1121 can be used in combination with the annular construction member 1125 that is configured to make different-diameter ring 1123.For example, in an embodiment of the method for making band mechanism, in the equal dies of plastic-blasting forming machine or in a plurality of equal dies of an above plastic-blasting forming machine, produce a plurality of main bodys 1121.An above main body 1121 is assembled into the annular construction member 1125 with first structure.Other main body 1121 is assembled into together with the annular construction member 1125 with different second structures with first structure (for example, diameter is big, circular rings to D shape ring etc.) more than one.By dissimilar annular construction member 1125 interchangeably the ability of the main consuming body 1121 single mould design that allows only to use single mould and/or be used for main body make dissimilar band mechanisms.Reduced design and mfg. moulding die cost like this with the band mechanism of making number of different types.

Be individually formed although form each annular construction member of each ring of the embodiment shown in Figure 64-73, should be understood that, of annular construction member who is used for each ring can form with main body in scope of the present utility model.For example, be used for an annular construction member of each ring can be suitably for forming and be fixed to the vertical segmentation on the main body with main body, and another annular construction member forms separately and snaps onto in the main body with main body as mentioned above for the embodiment shown in Figure 64-73.
