Abstract (en)

A ring binder mechanism for retaining loose-leaf pages includes an elongate housing, a first and second hinge plate, at least one ring for holding the loose-leaf pages, and an actuator mounted on the housing. Each ring includes a first ring member and a second ring member. The first ring member is mounted on the first hinge plate for movement with the hinge plate relative to the housing between a closed position and an opened position. The first hinge plate has a first hinge member and the second hinge plate has a second hinge member. The hinge members are disposed at a distance from the mid-plane that is the same as or less than the greatest distance between the upper surface and the mid-plane. An actuator is mounted on the housing for pivotal movement relative to the housing for moving the rings from their closed position to their opened position.
