20090052979BINDING DEVICE FOR FILES AND BINDERS - A binding device for files and binders in which rings to be inserted into binding holes of an object to be bound are openably and closeably secured to a base plate so as to be opened and closed by an opening-closing mechanism including a rotationally movable lever. In the binding device, a first ring member and a second ring member are configured such that they are interlocked with the opening-closing mechanism including the lever so as to be opened and closed about respective pivot portions and provided in the lower end thereof by rotationally moving the lever. In addition, the first ring member and the second ring member are secured in an opened state when opened, and the lever is secured such that the first ring member and the second ring member are maintained in the opened state.02-26-2009
20090053012BINDING DEVICE FOR FILES AND BINDERS - A binding device for files and binders includes rings to be inserted into binding holes of an object to be bound which are openably and closeably secured to a base plate so as to be opened and closed by an opening-closing mechanism including a rotationally movable lever. In the binding device, a first ring member and a second ring member defining the binding rings are configured such that they are interlocked with the opening-closing mechanism including the lever so as to be opened and closed about respective pivot portions provided in the lower end thereof by rotationally moving the lever. The base plate is provided with a lever shaft receiver for pivotally supporting the lever of the opening-closing mechanism, and the lever shaft receiver is formed by punching the base plate and bending the punched portion upwardly.02-26-2009
20090067914BINDING DEVICE - A binding device having a binding member that operates at a binding position of objects to be bound has a structure with which the bound objects do not readily come off. The binding device includes a board having a bearing plate. A spring member and an operation lever are attached to a shaft inserted in the bearing plate and a turned-up part. Protruding pieces of a binding member are inserted in through holes of turned-up parts formed in the board. One end of the spring member is secured to the operation lever, and the other end is fitted in a through hole of a turned portion at the distal end of the binding member. By closing the operation lever, the binding member rotates around a line connecting the protruding pieces at both ends, thereby pressing down sheets of paper placed on the board with a pressing portion. At this time, the other end of the spring member presses the turned portion, thereby biasing the pressing portion.03-12-2009
