Abstract (en)

A ring binder (10) is disclosed as including a ring binder mechanism (12) and a cover (14), in which the cover (14) includes two tabs via which the ring binder mechanism (12) is releasably securable to the cover (14), the ring binder mechanism (12) including an upper housing supporting a pair of pivotable plates to which a number of half-rings are attached, in which the plates are pivotably movable between a first position in which the half-rings are closed, and a second position in which the half-rings are open, in which the tabs are engaged with the plates when the plates are in the first position, and thus to prevent movement of the plates relative to the tabs. There is also disclosed a ring binder mechanism (12) releasably securable to a cover via two tabs, in which the ring binder mechanism (12) includes an upper housing supporting a pair of pivotable plates to which a number of half-rings are attached, in which the plates are pivotably movable between a first position in which the half-rings are closed, and a second position in which the half-rings are open, in which the plates are, when in the first position, adapted to be engaged with the tabs and thus to prevent movement of the plates relative to the tabs. <IMAGE>
