Abstract:
A bound component including a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled together along a hinge. Each panel includes an outer covering and a substrate positioned in the outer covering, wherein the outer covering of the first panel is directly coupled to the outer covering of the second panel to form the hinge. The substrates of the first and second panels are not directly coupled together. The bound component further includes a reinforcement extending over or forming at least part of the hinge.
Abstract:
Two sheets of polyethylene are placed one behind the other and sealed together with heat or adhesive along multiple horizontal seams and one (1) vertical seam forming multiple individual cavities and provides a side opening for identifier plaques. The front polyethylene panel has cutouts. An adhesive layer is applied to the back of the rear polyethylene panel and a sheet of paper is applied to the adhesive layer to help keep the adhesive in place until removed and the storage component is adhered to a surface. The polyethylene sheets are translucent or transparent and allow the information displayed on identifier plaques to be seen clearly and also horizontally because of the horizontal pockets. The identifier plaque material is firm so it may be printed or engraved and inserted into cavities. These identifier plaques can easily be inserted and remove and re-inserted into the cavities.
Abstract:
Binders and binder spines are disclosed that provide for easy insertion of labels into binder slots and also easy removal and replacement of labels in the binder slots. One printed material binder according to the present invention comprises a hardcover binder having front and back binder panels that are joined at a binder spine. The spine has a transparent cover and the spine comprises a spine support that is longitudinally foldable to open a space between binder spine and transparent cover. This open space allows for insertion of labels between the binder spine and transparent cover. When the spine support is returned flat, the label is held between the binder spine and transparent cover.
Abstract:
A binder including a spine, a pair of covers pivotally coupled to opposite edges of the spine, and a storage component located on an outer surface of the spine. The storage component defines a storage cavity therein for receiving loose articles and includes an access door that is pivotable about an axis that extends generally parallel to the spine to provide access to the storage cavity.
Abstract:
An improved system for labeling the spine of a binder is disclosed. The system includes an improved flexible label leader to load labels into a binder slot. The leader includes a first end portion having an adhesive section for adhering a binder label thereto. It also includes a second end portion for pulling the label adhered to the first end portion into a binder slot and a middle portion between the first and second end portions that resides in said binder slot. The adhesive section of the first end portion in detachable from the remainder of the leader.
Abstract:
A binder for receiving and retaining papers includes first and second strips slidably connected to one another. Each strip includes spaced-apart fingers extending upwardly therefrom. The fingers of the first and second strips are offset from one another when the first and second strips are in a closed position. The first and second strips include releasable locking catches to retain the strips in a closed position, and release tabs for selectively moving the second strip into the open position. A cover having living hinges is attached to a lower surface of the first strip. The cover may include pockets on an outer surface thereof for accepting inserts, such as file hangers or printed labels.
Abstract:
A title page and insertion tool for binders including a title page having a generally rectangular configuration. The title page is dimensioned for being received within a clear pocket on a spine of a binder. A pulley is provided having a generally rectangular configuration. The pulley has a front surface, a rear surface, opposed short upper and lower ends and opposed long side edges. The front and rear surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the pulley each have an adhesive layer disposed thereon. Each adhesive layer has a protective covering removably disposed thereover.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a label holding device for loose leaf binders for facilitating the insertion and removal of labels. It is particularly suitable for binders having a centrally hinged back and consists of a label holder made of transparent, resilient material, which holder has vertical side flanges to engage respective slots along the outer edges of the back of the binder. The label holder is held to the binder back and is removable from said back by being bent apart by the flanges. The invention is chiefly characterized by having one end of each flange obliquely cut, and when the holder is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the binder back, the oblique ends of the flanges run up on the end edges of the slots during the separating tension of the flanges so that, with continued displacement, the flanges run completely out of the slots, thus allowing for the removal of the holder. The device also prevents the holder from running a short distance up on the slanting back portion, which displacement would prevent or make more difficult the opening of the binder back.
