A ring mechanism has an elongate body made of a moldable polymeric material and rings for holding loose-leaf pages. Each ring includes a first ring member and a second ring member. The first ring members are movable relative to the housing and the second ring members between a closed position and an open position. At least one ring member for each ring is a separately formed ring member and comprises a ring portion and an anchor connected to the ring portion. The at least one separately formed ring member is formed separately from the body. The anchor of the separately formed ring member is secured to the body for pivoting movement relative to the body. The anchor can be received in a receptacle in the body adapted to receive the anchor.

A ring binder mechanism has at least two semi-ring pairs, which are arranged spaced apart from one another and which each consist of two semi-rings (20, 20), the semi-rings (20) of a first group and the semi-rings (20) of a second group being rigidly connected to one another in a grouped manner in the area of their roots and thereby kept spaced apart from one another. Mutually complementary locking bar elements (44, 44), which, in the closed position, are locked to prevent pivoting of the semi-rings relative to one another, are arranged at the ends of the semi-rings (20, 20) of at least one of the semi-ring pairs. In a free position, the semi-rings (20, 20) allocated in pairs span a common radial plane (46), and the locking bar elements (44, 44) thereof are spaced radially apart from one another, and in the locked position, the locking bar elements (44, 44) are coupled to one another with a form fit in all directions within the tangential plane (48) of the rings (19) which intersects the locking bar elements (44, 44) and is perpendicular to the radial plane (46).

The present disclosure provides a ring binder mechanism comprising a first member having a locking element, a second member having a slot, and with the second member being pivotally connected to the first member by one or more pivoting arms. The ring binder mechanism further comprises a plurality of rings, each ring having a first ring portion on the first member, and a second ring portion on the second member. Herein, the locking element is configured to engage with the slot, to lock the first member and the second member with respect to each other and dispose the ring binder mechanism in a closed position; and to disengage from the slot when applied with an external pressure, to allow for relative movement of the first member and the second member with respect to each other and dispose the ring binder mechanism in an open position.
