To get from a sheet of cardboard an element including an assembly of parts suitable for forming a block with conventional detachable sheets and including a conventional pen, the die-cutting and simultaneous creasing of the sheet lead to form: a) a first rectangular or square element intended for the application of a block of paper; b) a second rectangular element on a first side of the first element and of a width equal to the thickness of the block; c) a third rectangular or square element on the adjacent side of the second element and is intended to cover notebook; d) a fourth rectangular element on a second side of the first element, contiguous and of width equal to the thickness of the block; e) a fifth rectangular element, contiguous to the fourth element and of a height suitable for covering the head of the block of paper.

Identifying indicia for use with a spiral notebook having a predetermined length and thickness. An elongated member includes a first elongated portion and a second elongated portion. A retaining member is provided at an end of the first elongated portion for securing and locking the elongated member relative to spiral turns of a spiral notebook. Identifying indicia may be positioned on an outer surface of the first elongated portion. The elongated member is adapted to be retained, secured and locked relative to the outer surface of the spiral turns of the spiral notebook by inserting the second elongated portion within the spiral turns of the spiral notebook and looping the first elongated portion to be disposed on an outer surface of the elongated spiral of the spiral notebook with the end of the second elongated portion being inserted within the retaining member.

A component system comprising a component and a first binding system coupled to the component and configured to be coupled to a first type of a binding mechanism. The system further includes a second binding system movably coupled to the component and configured to be coupled to a second type of binding mechanism that is different from the first type of binding mechanism.

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.

Disclosed is a punching apparatus, for a coil bound notebook, which divides into many an object to be bound such as a notebook, a book, an album and the like, then punches same while sequentially moving same and enables easy feeding of the object to be bound, for which the punching has been completed, to a subsequent coil binding position. A punching apparatus for a coil bound notebook, according to the present invention, has first and second alignment plates which are provided on a table on which an object to be coil bound is placed, a punch for punching into the object to be bound binding holes into which a coil spring is inserted, and a moving means for the object to be bound for moving the object to be bound to and from the punch. The moving means for the object to be bound comprises: a main body having a lower plate which is mounted on a support, a vertical plate which is fixed on the lower plate, and an upper plate which is fixed on the vertical plate so as to have the central part open; an LM guide having a rail which is fixed on the main body and a block which is coupled to the rail; a saddle which is fixed on the block of the LM guide and has a plurality of step layers formed on one side; a plurality of unit moving units which have formed thereon clips, dividing the object to be bound and holding single sheet bundles, to become sequentially higher and each of which is mounted on each of the step layers of the saddle; and a saddle moving unit which has a supporting plate fixed on the saddle, a first cylinder of which an operating shaft is fixed on the supporting plate, a fixing plate for fixing the rear of the first cylinder, and a screw rod for screw coupling one side of the fixing plate, coupling a handle to the front end and rotatably mounted on frontal and rear supporting plates fixed on the main body.
