Arrangements and assembly methods for a media binder and its components

A method for creating an inside assembly of a media binder, comprising:

• attaching a tension sheet to an interior cavity defined by a spring clamp, wherein the spring clamp comprises opposing clamp edges that are to move resiliently toward and away from one another between a closed state and an open state and the tension sheet is extended over at least one of the clamp edges;
• attaching an inwardly facing surface of a board to the tension sheet over the clamp edges;
• applying a layer of adhesive to an outwardly facing surface of the board;
• and
• placing an alignment assembly including at least one of a hole and a pin on the outwardly facing surface of the board to enable the inside assembly to align with a case of the media binder.

A media binder, comprising:

• an inside assembly, comprising:
• at least one spring clamp, wherein each spring clamp (1) comprises opposing clamp edges that are to move resiliently toward and away from one another between a closed state and an open state and (2) defines an interior cavity to receive physical media during the open state,
• at least one tension sheet, wherein each tension sheet (1) attaches to the interior cavity and extends over at least one of the clamp edges and (2) is to transmit an opening force from at least one inside board of the inside assembly to the at least one spring clamp,
• at least one inside board, wherein each inside board comprises an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface, the inwardly facing surface is attached to the at least one tension sheet over at least one of the clamp edges, the outwardly facing surface comprises a layer of adhesive, and
• an alignment assembly including at least one of a hole and a pin placed on the outwardly facing surface of the at least one board;
• and
• a case assembly, comprising:
• a front surface board, a spine surface board, and a back surface board, wherein each surface board comprises an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface,
• a cover sheet, wherein the cover sheet is wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of the front surface board and comprises at least one marginal edge attached to the inwardly facing surface of the front surface board, and
• a printed cover in between the cover sheet and the front surface board;
• wherein the outwardly facing surface of the at least one inside board is attached to the inwardly facing surface of at least one of the front surface board and the back surface board using the layer of adhesive on the outwardly facing surface of the at least one inside board.
