Definitions
- the present invention provides an element for mutually binding two or more sheets of paper provided with perforator holes, comprising:
- a second end portion which can be provided with a decorative part which is wider than the insertion end portion and which extends relative to the insertion end portion in opposing direction from the body portion.
- the binding element according to the present invention is preferably applied in combination with round holes of a usual perforator such as is available in most offices (and households) , while the decorative part can be used in distinctive or humorous manner to draw the attention of the recipient of the sheets of paper to a logo or other message.
- fig. 1 shows a view in perspective of a preferred embodiment of a binding element according to the present invention
- fig. 2 shows a front view of the binding element of fig. 1 in use
- fig. 3 is a view in perspective of a second embodiment of the binding element according to the present invention in use.
- a binding element 1 according to the present invention (fig. 1 and 2) comprises a body portion 2, an insertion end portion 3 and a second end portion 4 which is provided with a decorative part 5 which can take different forms, such as the decorative part 5' of fig. 3.
- the decorative part 5 is preferably provided with a logo or other message printed thereon for the recipient of the report or contract formed by the sheets of paper S, S'.
- the decorative part 5' can likewise be printed and also be embodied in a desired colour composition.
- the body portion 2 and the end portions 3, 4 respectively are preferably manufactured from one piece of flexible metal, thus resulting in a low cost price and preventing the binding element from buckling during use. Silver-coloured metal is also easily visible.
- the transition between body portion 2 and insertion end portion 3 and the second end portion 4 is preferably formed by bends 6, 7 respectively so that the sheets of paper remain lying flat on a planar base.
- the embodiment of fig. 3 has the further feature that the insertion end portion 3' is provided with a locking element 8 which can be fixed non-releasably to insertion end portion 3' whereby the sheets of paper, for instance together forming a contract, are joined together insepa ⁇ rably.
- the locking element 8 can for instance be snapped into the hole 9 in the insertion end portion 3• such that locking element 8 cannot be removed without noticeably damaging the insertion element 3' .
- Locking element 8 has a dimension which is larger than the diameter of the perforator holes (not shown in fig. 3) and can for in ⁇ stance be provided with a logo or the seal of a lawyer or the like.
