| 20090304436 | RECYCLABLE RING BINDER APPARATUS WITH QUICK RELEASE RING METALS - A recyclable ring binder apparatus comprises a ring metal incorporating a set of binder rings that are formed of a pair of ring halves. The ring metal can be firmly fastened to a spine section of a binder hardcover by utilizing a post and a small arched snap clamp with a tap. The tap of the snap clamp can be pressed around a neck of the post utilizing a quick release clipping mechanism. The snap clamp can be accessed with an index finger and slid away from the post to remove the ring metal from the hardcover. The ring metal, the hardcover, the snap clamp and the post can be quickly separated into their perspective categories due to the clipping mechanism. Hence, it retains conformance of all components of the ring binder apparatus for recycling without increasing development and production cost. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20120301211 | Two-way moving structure of a paper folder - A two-way moving structure of the paper folder contains a bottom plate, each including two grooves formed on two sides thereof respectively; two retaining members, each including an insertion and an abutting portion connecting with the insertion, the abutting portion including a receiving area formed on a bottom end thereof and an fastening rib fixed on an inner side of the receiving area; wherein the insertion of the retaining member is inserted into the groove of the bottom plate; two movable member, each including a side slab and at least one post extending outward from an inner side of the side slab, wherein the side slab includes a lock shaft, and the lock shaft of the movable member is placed in the receiving area of the retaining member and is abutted against by the fastening rib, and the two posts of the movable member are connected together. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20140050517 | DISASTER SAFE DOCUMENT BINDER - A disaster-safe document binder includes rigid frame components: a front cover panel, a back cover panel, a spine assembly, and an apron. The rigid frame components form a book-like structure sized to store documents. The spine assembly includes a plurality of mounting rods that extend across the width of the spine assembly and are removably and rotatably coupled to each support member of spine assembly. The mounting rods physically support documents hanging vertically downward from the linear mounting brackets. The spine assembly includes a locking bar or locking pin that slides within a channel of a support member of the spine assembly to release or close the mounting rods within the spine assembly. The disaster-safe document binder formed from a metal that will not rust, emit harmful gases, or stain or discolor documents contained therewithin. The disaster-safe document binder is sealed closed to control an internal micro-climate within the binder. | 02-20-2014 |

| 20120027503 | QUICK-RELEASE, LOOSE-LEAF MATERIALS CAPTURE MECHANISM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A quick-release capture mechanism for loose-leaf binders. Generally, the capture mechanism comprises binder posts and a retention clip that selectively and releasably attaches to a free end of the posts. The posts often comprise a tubular section and a post head with a recess defined between the two. In some cases, the retention clip is a rail having a plurality of elongated apertures that are configured to slidably and releasably engage with a plurality of posts, simultaneously. The apertures can have any suitable characteristic. For instance, the apertures can comprise a first width, a second width, and means for retaining a binder post within either the first or the second width. In such instances, while the first width is sized to allow the post head to be inserted perpendicularly therein, the second width is sized to receive the post's recess while preventing the head from passing perpendicularly therethrough. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090047057 | EXTENDABLE ELASTIC DOCUMENT FASTENER - This invention is an extendable elastic document fastener for fastening from one single document to any amount or thickness required, because its elastic string can be obtained in every length required and its ends can be given a pointed shape to pass them more easily through the documents. Fastening is carried out in a practical and quick manner and without damaging the documents, since one can add or extract documents practically at any time. This fastener is very resistant and adaptable to all types of climates. It will not stain the documents because it is not made of metal. It eliminates the need for stitching and for traditional fasteners, which, as I have learned from experience, damages the documents. It saves time and costs and reduces damages to the documents; it is adequate for conserving any type of archives. It offers the advantage of allowing one to view information printed on the middle of the documents close to the fastener that is not easily accessible, by pulling at the center towards the ends without the risk of tearing the documents, since it is elastic and does not damage the punch holes on the document. To make copies, one need only loosen the string, separate the top plate from the document to be copied, place the string in the fastening tracks, and then open the documents completely as desired. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20080298882 | LOOSE-LEAF BINDING STRUCTURE - A loose-leaf binding structure comprises: a connecting unit with hooks, each having a first bent plate, a second bent plate corresponding to the first bent plate, and an arc plate connected to the first and second bent plates, and each arc plate has a connecting portion proximate to the second bent plate and connected to each hook; and a position limit unit, having a guide track on each side of the position limit unit, such that the position limit unit is movably coupled to first and second bent plates by the guide track. Each hook passes through the loose pages and binds the covers between the first and second bent plates and the position limit unit, and thus hiding the connecting unit to give a loose-leaf binder with a flat and even surface, and allowing users to dispose the binder neatly and flatly or writing on the loose page easily. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100028073 | Apparatus and method - A ring binding apparatus comprises a channel-form guide ( | 02-04-2010 |
| 20140079464 | MEDIA BINDER - A case assembly of a media binder includes a front surface board and a back surface board. Each surface board includes an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface and a cover sheet, and each cover sheet is wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of one of the surface boards. A marginal edge is attached to the inwardly facing surface of the surface board, and another marginal edge is unattached to the inwardly facing surface of the surface board. An end of the unattached marginal edge includes an extra edge extended from the unattached marginal edge, and the extra edge is folded against the unattached marginal edge. The unattached marginal edge is attached to the inwardly facing surface of an adjacent surface board to form a corner wrap around a corner of the adjacent surface board. | 03-20-2014 |
