Abstract
A duplex binder assembly is provided that is comprised of two oppositely facing binders that share a common back cover. In this way, a symmetry is created which is lacking in known designs, which promotes more complimentary vertical storage with typical companion materials such as books.
Claims12
A binder comprising:
- a first cover having a first surface and a second surface generally opposite said first surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge;
- a first spine portion having a first surface, a second surface generally opposite said first surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein said first side edge is directly or indirectly pivotally coupled to a side edge of said first cover;
- a first binder mechanism mounted on said first surface of said first spine;
- an intermediary cover having a first surface and a second surface generally opposite said first surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein said first side edge is directly or indirectly pivotally coupled to said second side edge of said first spine portion;
- a second spine portion having a first surface, a second surface generally opposite said first surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein said first side edge is directly or indirectly pivotally coupled to said second side edge of said intermediary cover;
- a second binder mechanism mounted on said second surface of said second spine;
- a second cover having a first surface, a second surface generally opposite said first surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein a side edge of said second cover is directly or indirectly pivotally coupled to said second side edge of said second spine portion.
