(54) | Binding apparatus |
(57) s Apparatus for binding papers or other sheet material (32) having two apertures
therein comprises a longitudinally extensible member (20) and two threading rods (24)
attached to the ends of the extensible member. The points of attachment (28) are near
to but spaced from one end of the rods so as to form projecting tails (30). When the
rods have been putted fully through the apertures in the stack of papers, they are
folded down on to the stack. The projecting tails (30) prevent the rods (24) from
being withdrawn through the apertures. The apparatus may be used without or with covers
having apertures in the spine for the extensible member (20). |
