Definitions

  • CH-A-243 783 is a flat and elongate binding element with an insertion end portion, a second end portion and a body portion being wider than the end portions and positioned therebetween, wherein the transitions between the body portion and the end portions are formed by preformed bends.
  • the present invention provides an element for mutually binding two or more sheets of paper provided with perforator holes as defined in claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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 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 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 inseparably.
  • 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 instance be provided with a logo or the seal of a lawyer or the like.

Claims (5)

  1. Élément de reliure destiné à relier entre elles deux ou plusieurs feuilles de papier, les feuilles étant dotées de première et deuxième perforations, ledit élément de reliure comprenant :
    une portion de corps sensiblement plate et allongée d'une longueur à peu près égale à une distance définie entre les perforations ;
    une portion d'extrémité d'insertion en alignement avec la portion de corps ; et
    une deuxième portion d'extrémité qui peut être décorée, ladite deuxième portion d'extrémité s'étendant par rapport à la portion d'extrémité d'insertion dans une direction opposée par rapport à la portion de corps,
       les transitions entre la portion d'extrémité d'insertion et la portion de corps et entre la portion de corps et la deuxième portion d'extrémité étant formées par des coudes préformés respectifs et la longueur fixe de ladite portion de corps correspondant à la distance entre deux perforations ;
    caractérisé en ce que
       la portion de corps, la portion d'extrémité d'insertion et la deuxième portion d'extrémité sont fabriqués à partir d'une seule pièce de métal résistant, qui est difficile à déformer, conférant une forme fixe à l'élément de reliure,
       ladite portion d'extrémité d'insertion a une largeur inférieure au diamètre des perforations, de sorte que la portion d'extrémité d'insertion peut être insérée sans la tourner dans la première perforation et ensuite dans la deuxième perforation ; et
       ladite portion de corps a une largeur inférieure ou égale à celle des perforations, de sorte que la portion de corps peut être insérée sans la tourner dans la première perforation.
  2. Élément de reliure selon la revendication 1, dans lequel la deuxième portion d'extrémité est dotée d'une pièce décorative qui est plus large que la portion d'extrémité d'insertion.
  3. Élément de reliure selon la revendication 2, dans lequel la pièce décorative est plus large qu'une perforation.
  4. Élément de reliure selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1, 2 ou 3, dans lequel ledit élément de reliure est doté d'un élément de verrouillage.
  5. Élément de liaison selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel la portion d'extrémité d'insertion, la portion de corps et la deuxième portion d'extrémité ont sensiblement la même largeur.
