Abstract
A binding device for crimping or deforming a U-shaped channel around a plurality of sheets of paper comprises a stationary crimping bar and a rotatable crimping bar rotatable coupled above the stationary crimping bar. The rotatable crimping bar has coupled thereto a first weight member fixedly coupled in the center thereof wherein the first weight serves to provided a centralized force of gravitational pull to urge the rotatable crimping bar toward a crimping position. The stationary crimping bar has coupled thereto a second weight member fixedly coupled in the center thereof wherein the second weight member provides a centralized force of gravitational pull for stability.
Claims20
A binding device for crimping or deforming a U-shaped means for clamping around a plurality of sheets of paper comprising:
- (a) a stationary crimping bar;
- (b) a rotatable crimping bar rotatable coupled above said stationary crimping bar wherein said rotatable crimping bar is rotated between a crimping position and a non-crimping position;
- (c) a first weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said rotatable crimping bar;
- and,
- (d) a second weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said stationary crimping bar.
A binding device for crimping or deforming a U-shaped means for clamping around a plurality of sheets of paper comprising:
- (a) a stationary crimping bar;
- (b) a rotatable crimping bar rotatable coupled above said stationary crimping bar wherein said rotatable crimping bar is rotated between a crimping position and a non-crimping position;
- (c) a first weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said rotatable crimping bar;
- (d) a second weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said stationary crimping bar;
- (e) a pivoting handle member removably coupled to said rotatable crimping bar wherein said pivoting handle member moves said rotatable crimping bar between said crimping position and said non-crimping position, easily and effortlessly;
- and,
- (f) a stationary handle member removable coupled to said stationary crimping bar.
A binding device for crimping or deforming a U-shaped means for clamping comprising:
- (a) a stationary crimping bar;
- (b) a rotatable crimping bar rotatable coupled above said stationary crimping bar wherein said rotatable crimping bar is rotated between a crimping position and a non-crimping position;
- (c) a first weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said rotatable crimping bar wherein said first weight serves to provided a centralized force of gravitational pull to urge said rotatable crimping bar toward said crimping position;
- and,
- (d) a second weight member fixedly coupled in the center of said stationary crimping bar wherein said second weight member provides a centralized force of gravitational pull for stability.
