Definitions

  • FIG.4 RING MECHANISM FOR LOOSE LEAF BINDERS Filed Oct. 9. 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 FIGS FIG.4
  • This invention is concerned with a ring mechanism for loose leaf binders and the like, and more specifically with a snapping mechanism wherein divided ring halves are supported by a pair of carrier rails which are positioned in side-by-side relationship within a cover rail with outer longitudinal edges of the rails being confined by corresponding beveled edges of the cover rail.
  • the ring halves have been arranged vertically in relation to the carrier rails and they protrude upward and outward with their legs extending through openings in the cover rail.
  • the sheets of written material, which have been threaded onto the ring halves therefore rest onesidely on the cover rail and do not lie against the lower binder cover up to the apertured edge of the sheet. Since the body of the arched cover rail is of substantial height, the written material can never lie fiat across its total surface. This not only impairs the capability of writing on it smoothly, but the cover also loses space for the stored page material with which it is filled by an amount equal to the thickness of the cover rail.
  • the object of the invention consists of constructing a known ring mechanism with the characteristics of the species as explained in the first paragraphy, in such a manner, that a loss of space equal to the thickness of the body of the cover rail is avoided, so that the sheets of written material will come to lie flat on the lower cover and thus the holding capacity of the ring half on which the sheets are threaded will be increased by the thickness of the body of the cover rail.
  • the execution of the mechanism for accounting purposes and similar purposes is achieved by attaching a mechanism to the edge of a supporting plate in such a manner that the receiving half, which has been prolonged in the shape of a Lshaped half, is guided around the body of the mechanism, around the plate, and is attached according to the invention to the lower face of the pertinent carrying rail.
  • a bookkeeping sheet which is not needed can be turned over around the whole ring by 360 and will then take its place below the supporting plate.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-section through gne form of a closed binder mechanism with the ring halves extending into the carrier rails;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section through one ⁇ fOI'ITl of binder mechanism in opened position
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section through another modification wherein a turn-down ring is prolonged into the shape of a J, the ring halves being closed;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-section through the mechanism in accordance with FIG. 3, the ring halves being open;
  • FIG. 5 is a view wherein a loose leaf board is provided with the ring structure of FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the ring mechanism is formed in a known manner by two carrier rails c and d which have been braced against each other with their inner edges in side-by-side relationship and with their longitudinal outer edges clamped in a cover rail e.
  • One-half a of the ring is arranged vertically in relation to the carrying rail 0 and protrudes with its leg through suitable openings in the cover rail e.
  • the free end of the ring element a meets the free end of a ring element b.
  • the ring element 12 extends downwardly beyond the cover rail 2 and then is bent at an angle to form the leg b
  • the leg b extends laterally below the cover rail e and is again bent at an angle, being rigidly afiixed to the carrier rail d at f.
  • This short bent portion between b and f in the forms of FIGS. 1 and 2 is of such length that the bent leg b lies in the plane of the binder cover.
  • the ring element B is elongated to a point considerably below the plane of the board x, the leg B being spaced from the cover x and cover rail E. This permits a 360* rotation of the filler pages and the utility of this is well illustrated in the view of FIG. 5, wherein this structure is applied to a loose leaf board, such as those in common laboratory use.
  • the combination comprising at least one cover member
  • said cove-r member having a plurality of transverse grooves cut therein; a resilient cover rail secured to said cover member, said cover rail having turned side edges; a first and second carrier r-ail nested in side-by-side relationship between the turned side edges of said cover rail, the combined width of said carrier rail being greater than the distance between said side edges when said cover rail is unstressed whereby said carrier rail may be moved between two over-center positions; a plurality of cooperating paired ring elements, said paired ring elements being positioned adjacent to said cover member grooves, one of said paired ring elements being secured to said first carrier rail, the
