Abstract

A ring binder (100, 200, 300) adapted to be secured to a cover (112, 212, 312) includes a substantially rigid upper plate member (102, 202, 302) supporting a pair of pivotable lower plates (104a, 104b, 204a, 204b, 304a, 304b) having a plurality of rings (106, 206, 306) disposed thereon, and a set of fingers (108, 208, 308) integrally formed with the ring binder and adapted to secure the ring binder to the cover.

Description

Ring-type binder

The present invention relates to a kind of ring-type binder, particularly a kind ofly be adapted to pass through at least one fixture and be fixed in ring-type binder on the strip of paper used for sealing.

Usually, ring-type binder is fixed on the strip of paper used for sealing by at least one rivet, and this rivet has the head and the deformable afterbody that can cooperate with strip of paper used for sealing, and this afterbody matches with the depression on ring-type binder top.

The shortcoming of this design is: must make and offer the rivet of assembler's ring-type binder and respective shapes and size, this rivet is suitable for ring-type binder is fixed on the strip of paper used for sealing.The unaccommodated rivet of size or shape just might be offered the assembler mistakenly.Assembling process is not only required great effort but also easily make mistakes.Especially, if the rivet action fails correctly to carry out, ring-type binder and/or strip of paper used for sealing just may be damaged.

Therefore, the objective of the invention is to propose a kind of ring-type binder that can overcome above-mentioned defective.

The present invention proposes a kind of ring-type binder that is suitable for being fixed on the base member, this ring-type binder comprises the last structure that is essentially rigidity, should go up the pivotable structure down of support structure, a plurality of annulus elements are installed on this time structure, it is characterized in that, this ring-type binder comprises at least one fixture integrally formed with it, and this fixture is suitable for this ring-type binder is fixed on the base member.

Advantageously, this fixture can form with last structural entity.

Last structure can be downward-sloping at each end easily.

Advantageously, fixture can be deformable, so that ring-type binder is fixed on the base member.

Usually, fixture can comprise a plurality of deformable retaining elements, and each retaining element all comprises a sharp element that is come to a point by last structure downwards.

Advantageously, sharp element can be suspended from the periphery of structural opening downwards, and by the central longitudinal axis directed outside of this opening, this opening can be circle or hexagon in fact.

Below present invention is described for the embodiment by the accompanying drawing indication.

Figure 18 represents the ring-type binder shown in Figure 15 cutaway view along the D-D line when annulus being arranged and be fixed on the base member.

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, according to ring-type binder of the present invention, indicate with 100 usually, it comprises the last panel element 102 that is essentially rigidity, and this upper plate member supports a pair of pivotable lower plate 104a and 104b.Lower plate 104a and the 104b motion that can be pivoted relative to each other each other is so that annulus 106 is optionally opened in due form or closed.

Each end at ring-type binder 100 all has two collets 108.Fig. 3-6 shows in more detail, and pawl 108 is integrally formed with last panel element 102.Pawl 108 is outwards stung out by last panel element 102, is essentially hexagonal hole 110 by moulding shown in Fig. 3.Pawl 108 is extended downwards by

last panel element

102, and 110 longitudinal axis stretch out along the hole.As shown in Figure 5, pawl 108 for example is pressed among the clamp strip of paper used for sealing 112.Because in extrusion process, pawl 108 is outward-dipping, combining so further being strengthened between ring-type binder 100 and the strip of paper used for sealing 112.

See Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 again, be depicted as second embodiment according to ring-type binder of the present invention, this ring-type binder indicates with numeral 200.Similar to first embodiment described above, ring-type binder comprises the last panel element 202 that is essentially rigidity, and this upper plate member supports a pair of pivotable lower plate 204a and 204b.Lower plate 204a and the 204b motion that can be pivoted relative to each other each other is so that annulus 206 is optionally opened in due form or closed.

Each end at ring-type binder 200 all has two collets 208.Fig. 9-12 shows in more detail, and pawl 208 is integrally formed with last panel element 202.Pawl 208 is outwards stung out by last panel element 202, and the hole 210 that comes down to circle shown in Figure 11 is by moulding.Pawl 208 extends downwards from

last panel element

202, and 210 longitudinal axis stretches out from the hole.As shown in figure 12, pawl 208 for example is pressed among the clamp strip of paper used for sealing 212.Because in extrusion process, pawl 208 is outward-dipping, combining so further strengthened between ring-type binder 200 and the strip of paper used for sealing 212.

Figure 13 and 14 is depicted as the 3rd embodiment according to ring-type binder of the present invention, and it indicates with 300.Approximate with second embodiment described above, ring-type binder 300 comprises the last panel element 302 that is essentially rigidity, and this upper plate member supports a pair of pivotable lower plate 304a and 304b.Lower plate 304a and 304b can relatively move pivotally each other, and annulus 306 is optionally opened or closure in due form.

Each end at ring-type binder 300 all has two collets 308.Figure 15-18 shows in more detail, and pawl 308 is integrally formed with last panel element 302.Pawl 308 is outwards stung out by last panel element 302, and forms hole 310.Pawl 308 extends downwards from

last panel element

302, and 310 longitudinal axis is protruding along the hole.As shown in figure 18, pawl 308 for example is pressed among the clamp strip of paper used for sealing 312.Because pawl 308 is outward-dipping in extrusion process, therefore the combination between ring-type binder 300 and the strip of paper used for sealing 312 is further strengthened.

Show that more than the present invention need not to use rivet, the latter needs an independent riveted joint step in assembling process.The existence of rivet also may injure workman and/or user.Outer surface at strip of paper used for sealing does not have rivet to help to improve the outward appearance of strip of paper used for sealing yet.Find that simultaneously before ring-type binder and strip of paper used for sealing were separated, so design can withstand 80 pounds pulling force.

Be appreciated that above embodiment has only shown function mode of the present invention, and any variant of making according to this all should be within the scope of the present invention.For example, according to the needs of different situations, all can comprise a cover or three collets at each end of ring-type binder.
