Abstract

A paper binder comprises a spine 1 with two bars 2 joined to its sides and flexible hinges 4 which permit the bars to be folded outwards and backwards. A clamp 3 joins the spine at its ends, their backs connected to the face end of the spine. Flexible hinges 4 permit the clamps to be folded backwards onto the face of the spine. When bars are folded backwards a channel 6 is created through which material is inserted. When clamps 3 are folded backwards (7, Fig. 3) onto the face of the spine they fasten the bars in their backwards folded position and secure material in its channel. <IMAGE>

Description

MULTIPURPOSE BINDER This invention relates to a multipurpose binder. Binders are well known devices used for securing sheets of paper.

This invention relates to a multipurpose binder that can be used for securing various material and not only sheets of paper. The invention comprises a spine with two bars, each joined to its ides. At the ends of the spine is a clamp, its back joining the face end of the spine. Flexible hinges permit both bars to be folded outwards and backwards. When both bars are folded backwards a channel is formed through which material is inserted. Flexible hinges permit clamps to be folded backwards onto the face of the spine fastening the two bars in backwards folded position and securing material in its channel.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings in which Fig.1 shows the multipurpose binder with spine, bars folded outwards, clamps and flexible hinges.

Fig.2 shows the multipurpose binder with bars folded backwards and channel that is formed when both bars are in this backwards folded position.

Fig. 3 shows the multipurpose binder with both bars and clamps folded backwards.

Referring to figure 1 the multipurpose binder comprises a spine (1) with two bars, each joined to its side (2), two clamps (3) each joined to the ends of the spine their backs connected to the face end of the spine and flexible hinges (4) at the parts where bars and clamps join spine.

Figure 2 shows the multipurpose binder with both bars foldcd backwards (5) and creating a channel (6) through which material is inserted.

Figure 3 shows the multipurpose binder with bars folded backwards (5) and clamps folded backwards (7) onto the face of the spine fastening the folded bars in their backwards folded position and securing material in its channel. This is its binding position.

Claims

CLAIM

A multipurpose binder that can be used for securing various materials and not only sheets of paper and comprises a spine with two bars each joined its sides, and two clamps each joined to the ends of the spine their backs connected to the face end of the spine. Flexible hinges permit bars to be folded outwards and backwards and allow clamps to be folded backwards onto the face of spine. The invention is adapted to such that when the bars are folded backwards a channel is created through which material is inserted. When clamps are folded backwards material in its channel is secured.
