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.

Relates to an improved universal industrial product to be installed on an existing binding or spiral binding machine, capable of binding in all existing binding systems that allow to perform a single set of oblong perforations, according to the paper size, and in which the support or receive the rings, spirals, or combs and binder having multiple size rings, which are currently formed by using machines with different perforation steps. Includes perforation dies having an oblong shape.

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.

The GameKitt is a spiral bound notebook style flip-through with a front and back cover. It is bound on the long side (top) with horizontal content. It can be generic or team specific. The GameKitt comes with a standard pre sharpened #2 graphite pencil. The GameKitt contains a plastic transparent receptacle sleeve, a Welcome page, GameDay page, PreGame page, a Key page, Innings pages, and a PostGame page. The function of the GameKitt is to retain a detailed record of a day at the ballpark. It is intended to record all of the circumstances, conditions, personal observations and events involved with or relating to the experience of attending a professional baseball game. The purpose of the GameKitt is not only to retain a playby-play account of the game, but also to keep a more comprehensive, meaningful record of the entire experience that can later be referred to for either historic or nostalgic purposes.

A loose-leaf binder comprises a back and a loose-leaf coil. The back comprises a lower sheet and an upper sheet. Each side of the back is formed with a track having a downward opening. At least one end of the back is formed with an open end portion. Each lateral side edge of the lower sheet is formed with a slightly upwardly projecting flange. The lower sheet is formed with at least one engaging slot corresponding to the open end portion of the flange. The loose-leaf coil to be selectively disposed below the back is formed with continuous C-shaped portions by bending a wire. Each end of each C-shaped portion is formed with a track section to slide in the track of the back. The track section can be selectively engaged and restricted within the engaging slot of the lower sheet of the back.

A loose-leaf binder device comprises a back, two end plugs that can selectively close two ends of the back, and a loose-leaf coil for binding inner pages and selectively disposed below the back. The back is formed with an insert slot. A retaining hole communicating with the insert slot is formed on a portion of the back abutting upon an end edge. The end plug is integrally formed with a resilient member to be inserted into the insert slot. A top surface of the resilient member is formed with one post corresponding to the retaining hole of the back. A free end of the resilient member is formed with an upward compressing edge. Thus, the post on the resilient member can be actuated through a compressing edge according to the resilient member of the end plug so that the post is selectively engaged with or disengaged from the back.

A helical coil is inserted into holes at an edge of a book by a machine which is adjustable for different diameters of coil. The face of the book sits on a platen and the coil is driven by a roller while the edge of the book is supported on a plurality of spine formers having an arced surface for shaping the edge of the book and an end of the book is engaged by a side lay member at an angle to incline the holes at the angle to receive the turns of the coil. The flat spine formers are carried on supports which rotate so as to allow the turns of the coil at the pitch angle to pass the spine formers. For different book thickness and coil diameter, the arced shape of the spine formers, the spine former angle and the lay angle are changed manually.

A bound collection of leaves having a spine and a method of its manufacture are disclosed. Each leaf of a first plurality of leaves of the bound collection includes a first pattern of tabs by which that leaf is bound. The tabs of the first pattern are distributed along a binding axis of that leaf that is parallel to a spine axis of the spine. Each leaf of a second plurality of leaves of the bound collection includes a second pattern of tabs different than the first pattern by which that leaf is bound. The tabs of the second pattern are distributed along a binding axis of that leaf that is parallel to the spine axis. Each tab of the first pattern and second pattern of tabs extends in a direction orthogonal to the binding axis from within an unbound region to a binding-side edge of that leaf.
