Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ring binder with an improved starting lever The ring for opening and closing the ring binder, and more particularly, relates to a starter lever having a cushioning member to improve the tactile characteristics of the starter lever. 2. Description of the Background Art. Threaded ring binders are known which have a rigid upper plate to support a pair of hinged leaf plates that can be pivoted relative to each other. Many half-rings are attached to the hinged leaf, causing the hinged leaf to pivot, opening and closing the ring in a snapping action, which is performed by the two ends of the ring binder. Caused by the movement of the starting lever. Printed by employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the conventional printing rods are generally made of stamped gold, and have sufficient rigidity to transmit the force required to open and close the ring. However, the snapping action will generate uncomfortable vibration force to the user's finger, and because the starting lever is formed of nickel-plated metal, the starting lever becomes slippery, making it easier for the user's finger to The starting lever slips, which may also cause injury to the user. In addition, the conventional starting lever has a lip turning outward near most of the periphery to stiffen and strengthen the starting lever, and the edge of the lip may be sharp, and when the user wants to press the closing ring with his finger At this time, the paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -4-467833 1 A7 _. B7_ 5. The invention description (2) will be uncomfortable. As shown in U.S. Patent No. 5 2 3 4 2 7 6 a cover has been provided for the starter lever. The purpose of this cover is to make the metal starting lever easier for the stapler operator and / or to increase the starting lever so that more leverage can be used. The lid is made of two plastic pieces with hinges, which are grasped together to completely receive the starting lever. Unfortunately, plastic covers can easily break, especially the tiny connecting posts that hold the two halves together. The edges of the hinges are sharp, especially at the corners, and the gaps between the snapped halves can collect dust and dirt. Moreover, hinges are easily broken. In addition, the lid is stiff and large and heavy, about three times the size of the starter lever, resulting in an unattractive appearance. Therefore, there is a need in the technology of the ring binder, that the ring binder is convenient to use and anti-slip, and reduces the uncomfortable shock force when the ring is snapped when the ring is opened and closed.

Description of the invention (9) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) One outside 5 4. The inside 5 2 is about when the buffer member 50 is installed on the fin The surface closest to the ring 2 8 when 4 2 is on, and the outer surface 5 4 refers to the surface farthest from the ring 2 8 when the buffer member 50 is mounted on the fin 4 2. The inner surface 5 2 is engaged by a user's finger to pivot the starting lever 3 0, and the ring member 2 8 is moved to the open position, and the outer surface 5 4 is engaged by the user's finger to pivot the starting lever 3. 0, and the ring member 28 is moved to the closed position. A convex protrusion 56 is located on the inner surface 52 of the buffer member 50. The outer surface 54 of the buffer member 50 has a substantially flat surface. The buffer member 50 further includes an upper wall 58, a lower wall 60, and a pair of side walls 62. An opening 64 is a slit 66 located in the lower wall 60 and extending into the body of the buffer member 50. The slit 66 forms an approximately rectangular recess in the buffer member 50. The width of the slit 66 is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the distance between the side edges 44 of the fins 42. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, to install the buffer member 50, the fins 4 2 pass through the opening 64 freely and slide into the slits 66 of the buffer member 50. The cushioning member 50 is squeezed down on the flap 4 2 until the top edge of the flap 4 2 is installed at the end next to the slit 6 6 6 8 The member 50 is preferably held on the fin 42 by frictional engagement between the inner surface of the slit 66 and the outer surface of the fin 42. To increase this frictional engagement, the inner surface of the slit 66 is preferably a flat flat surface to reduce the surface contact between the slit 66 and the fin 42. Moreover, where the stomach cushioning member 50 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber or elastomer, the frictional contact is enhanced to prevent the cushioning member 50 from moving from the flap 4 2 '-12.
