Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0304247A2] A binder assembly comprises a cover 210, 211, 212 to which is securable a ring binding mechanism 215 which includes a base plate 216. The base plate 216 is secured to the cover by a two-part fastening device 218 comprising a male part 219 having a threaded shank 221 which passes through registering holes 222 and 223 in the cover and base plate and which is adapted for screw-threaded engagement with a female part 224. The female part 224 is formed from plastics and is integral with a manipulating part 225 which may be snapped off after the fastening device has been secured in place. Alternatively, the male part may pass through the base plate of the ring binding mechanism and engage a female part in the cover. The female part, instead of being a separate element, may comprise a blind hole integrally formed in the cover. The two parts of the fastening device may be in snap-in, rather than screw-threaded, engagement.
