PAPER BINDING DEVICE
A paper binding device is configured to hold a plurality of paper sheets together utilizing aligned holes formed in each of the plurality of sheets. A plurality of bendable extensions extend from at least one flat first surface of a first elongated part. Each of the plurality of bendable extensions includes two cylindrically-shaped posts disposed adjacent to one another and separated by a gap. A plurality of bridges connect the two cylindrically-shaped posts along the gap. A second part includes a plurality of through apertures which are disposed from at least one flat second surface through to an opposite surface. A plurality of elongated channels are openly formed in the opposite surface. The plurality of bendable extensions are fitted through the plurality of through apertures and are configured to be manipulated by a user to bend and lock into the plurality of elongated channels.
Media binder
A media binder, comprising: a front surface board, at least one spine board, and a back surface board, wherein each board comprises an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface; a cover sheet wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of the spine board and a portion of a surface cover sheet, the surface cover sheet wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of at least one surface board and comprises a first marginal edge attached to the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board and a second marginal edge unattached to the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board; at least one spring clamp to secure physical media inserted between clamp edges of the at least one spring clamp; and a tension sheet attached to the at least one spring clamp and the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board.
Arrangements and assembly methods for a media binder and its components
A media binder has an inner assembly and a case assembly, The inner assembly includes inside boards pre-attached to a binding mechanism. Adhesive is placed on outward surfaces of the inside boards. The case assembly includes a cover sheet with at least one marginal edge attached to surface boards and at least one loose edge. To customize cover, a printed cover is inserted in-between the cover sheet and the surface board through an opening formed by the loose edge. The case assembly is then laminated. The laminated case assembly is combined with the inner assembly using the adhesive on the inside boards. A one-piece media binder has cover sheets wrapping around surface boards forming pockets. The surface boards are partially attached to paste downs. To customize cover, printed covers are inserted into the pockets, and the paste downs are then attached to the surface boards to seal loose edges.
Binding system for retaining bound components
A binding apparatus including a plurality of generally coaxially arranged binding coils. Each binding coil includes a pair of generally parallel wires terminating in a tip. Each binding coil is coupled to an adjacent binding coil by a connection portion extending generally parallel to an axis of the binding apparatus. At least one binding coil is directly circumferentially attached to itself, or to a connection portion.
DISK-BOUND SCRAPBOOK SYSTEMS WITH COVERED SPINE
A scrapbook system is disclosed. The scrapbook system includes a pair of covers an intermediate panel connecting the pair of pivotable covers, a stack of plural pages and a plurality of disks releasably mounting the pages on the disks between the covers. Each of the disks is circular and has a generally planar central section and an enlarged peripheral rim. The covers are pivotally connected to each other by an intermediate member. The disks are concealed from the outside of the scrapbook system when the covers are closed by means of a cover. At least some of the pages include at least one pocket for receipt of a keepsake item, with portions of at least some of the pages being transparent to enable one to view a keepsake item located in the pocket through the transparent portion of the page.
