Abstract
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.
Claims23
A component system comprising:
- a component;
- a first binding system non-slidably coupled to said component and configured to be selectively coupled to a first binding mechanism;
- and
- a second binding system slidably coupled to said component and movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the second binding system configured to be selectively coupled to a second binding mechanism that is different from said first binding mechanism.

A component system comprising:
- a component;
- a first binding system coupled to said component and configured to be selectively coupled to a first binding mechanism;
- and
- a second binding system coupled to said component and movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the second binding system configured to be selectively coupled to a second binding mechanism that is different from said first binding mechanism when in the extended position;
- wherein said first binding mechanism includes one or a combination of a twin wire binding and a spiral wire binding, and wherein said second binding mechanism includes a three ring binding.

A component system comprising:
- a component;
- a first binding system coupled to said component and configured to be selectively coupled to a first binding mechanism;
- and
- a second binding system coupled to said component and configured to be selectively coupled to a second binding mechanism;
- wherein the first binding system is fixedly coupled to said component and the second binding system is slidably coupled to said component;
- wherein the second binding system includes a panel having a plurality of holes extending therethrough, the panel of the second binding system configured to be moved between an extended position and a retracted position.
3 more elements
A component system comprising:
- a component having a binding edge;
- a first binding system coupled to said component proximate said binding edge, said first binding system having a plurality of holes and configured to be selectively coupled to a first binding mechanism;
- and
- a second binding system coupled to said component proximate said binding edge and configured to slide between an extended position and a retracted position, said second binding system having a plurality of holes of a different size than said plurality of holes of said first binding system, the holes of said second binding system configured to be selectively coupled to a second binding mechanism;
- wherein the plurality of holes of the second binding system extend at least partially beyond the binding edge of the component in the extended position, and wherein the plurality of holes of the second binding system do not extend beyond the binding edge of the component in the retracted position.
