Single booster binder mechanism

A binder mechanism comprising:

• a housing;
• first and second ring bases positioned within the housing;
• a first ring portion attached to the first ring base and a second ring portion attached to the second ring base;
• a slide positioned within the housing and operatively engaged with the first and second ring bases;
• and
• an actuator positioned adjacent the housing and operatively engaged with the slide whereby the actuator selectively positions the slide to pivot the first and second ring bases with respect to each other.

A binder comprising:

• front and rear covers;
• a spine pivotally attached with at least one of the front and rear covers;
• and
• the binder mechanism attached to the spine, the binder mechanism comprising:
• a housing;
• first and second ring bases positioned within the housing;
• a first ring portion attached to the first ring base and a second ring portion attached to the second ring base;
• a slide positioned within the housing and operatively engaged with the first and second ring bases;
• and
• an actuator positioned adjacent the housing and operatively engaged with the slide whereby the actuator selectively positions the slide to pivot the first and second ring bases with respect to each other.

A binder mechanism comprising:

• a housing;
• a first ring base and a second ring base positioned within the housing;
• at least one first ring portion attached to the first ring base and at least one second ring portion attached to the second ring base;
• a slide operatively engaged with the first and second ring bases, the slide is selectively positionable relative to first ring base and the second ring base;
• and
• an actuator operatively engaged with the slide such that the actuator is configured to selectively position the slide whereby the slide allows the first and second ring bases to pivot to position the first ring portion and the second ring portion to an open position and allows the first and second ring bases to pivot to position the first ring portion and the second ring portion to a closed position.
