• a detachable connection such as a layer of weak glue 9 or similar
• flyleaf 2 that only serves for holding the bundle of documents to be bound during the binding, can be produced in a material of lesser quality, for example paper
• the back sheet 3 will be produced in a better quality, for example ' white thin cardboard, as shown in figure 4.
• binding element or binding file according to the invention will preferably be applied with a universal binding element as described in the Belgian patent no. 8801155 that is in principle formed by a front sheet 11 that possibly only shows a limited width which for example is equal to the width of the part 7 of the binding element; a back sheet 12 and a spine 13 formed by adhesive means which consist of a glue meltable under the influence of heat which with heating and then cooling can provide for an adhesive connection both to the inside and to the outside.
• a bundle of documents to be bound will be installed in a universal binding element 11, 12, 13 as shown in figure 6 whereby, either the aforementioned front sheet 11, if this is as large or almost as large as the size of the documents 14, will form the actual front sheet of the binding, or if this front sheet 11 only has a width which is equal to or almost equal to the width of the part 7, as shown in figures 6 through 8, the front sheet will be formed by the first sheet 15 of the documents to be bound.
• front sheet according to the invention can be produced and printed in this manner without being dependent upon the binding.
• the layer of glue 13 will be heated in a suitable known manner in order to obtain that the documents 14 and the first document 15 are secured in the layer of glue 13, on the one hand, and the spine 4 of the binding element 1 is secured with the layer of glue 13, on the other hand.
• the removal of the flyleaf 2 is hereby possible because the adhesive force of the layer of glue 9 is very small compared to that of the layer of glue 8.
• FIG. 9 through 11 an application is shown whereby the binding element according to the invention, as shown in figures 1 through 5, is applied with a universal binding element that in this case is formed by a front sheet and a back sheet, each normally with small height, respectively 11 and 12, and attached to the inside of this front sheet, respectively back sheet, a removable flyleaf, respectively 16 and 17.
