Abstract
A loose leaf binder having a supporting base or lower cover member and a top cover member interconnected by post assemblies receiving a plurality of paper sheets together with a bar mounted on the post assemblies for longitudinal movement thereon with the bar being retained in adjusted position by magnetic attraction between the bar and post assemblies. Each of the post assemblies are constructed of rigid telescopic members.
Claims8
A loose leaf binder for loose leaf sheets or brochures and enabling individual sheets or brochures to be removed or added without taking the binder apart and without removing additional sheets or brochures, said binder comprising a supporting base, a top member spaced from the base and adapted to receive a plurality of loose sheets of material therebetween, a plurality of post assemblies extending between the supporting base and top member for receiving and mounting the loose leaves, each post assembly including a pair of tubular members with one of the tubular members being supported from the supporting base and the other of the tubular members being supported from the top member, the inner ends of the tubular members being disposed in telescoping relation to enable variation in the length of each post assembly, and a hold down means which adheres to at least one of said tubular members and is adjustable relative thereto for holding said sheets or brochures in place by exerting pressure thereon.
A loose leaf binder comprising a supporting base, a top member spaced from the base, a plurality of loose sheets of material therebetween, at least one post assembly extending between the supporting base and top member and receiving and mounting the loose leaves, said post assembly including a pair of telescopic members with one of the telescopic members being supported from the supporting base and the other of the telescopic members being supported from the top member, the inner ends of the telescopic members being disposed in overlapping relation to enable variation in the length of the post assembly without separation of the telescopic members, a retaining bar longitudinally movably supported on the post assembly in engagement with a stack of loose leaves, said retaining bar including magnetic means thereon, said post assembly being constructed of material subject to magnetic attraction whereby the retaining bar will be retained in adjusted position but movable along the post assembly when manual pressure is exerted thereon.
