Abstract
A binding system (1) comprising a stack of sheet (2), each with a binding side (3) with attachment means for the connection of the sheets. The binding side of a sheet possesses an alternating sequence of tabs and notches. One sheet can be attached to an adjacent sheet by interlocking its tab (4) into the notches between the corresponding tabs of the adjacent sheet. The tabs fit exactly into these notches to provide a seamless connection between these sheets. Thus this binding system provides for a quick, user-friendly binding system without requiring separate and cumbersome attachment means.
Claims12
Binding system comprising:
- at least two stackable sheets that are mutually connectable at a common binding side by attachment means,
- tabs comprised by the attachment means at the binding side, the tabs projecting from the sheets and the tabs comprising a base width being the width of the tab at substantially the binding side of the sheet,
- notches defined between the tabs, the notches having a base width, characterized in that:
- the base width of the tabs and the notches is substantially the same,
- the tabs of a first sheet are suitable for folding into the notches of an adjacent sheet to provide for a mutual attachment of those sheets along the binding side along a straight folding line, and in that,
- the tabs each comprise a main section having a protrusion or a lug at one or both sides that are projecting from this main section and that are defining open recesses along the edge of the sheet from which the tab projects whereby
- a part of the base of the main section of a tab substantially fits into a recess of the tab of an adjacent sheet.
