The present invention relates to the technical field of stationery, in particular to a binder capable of turning paper by 360 degrees.
Binder is a very common tool in daily life. Binder is usually used to hold loose files, which can be easily stored or taken out. Binder can be reused for subsequent storage of other files. Binder has a ring inside for firmly holding loose files. However, the files stored in the traditional binder can only be turned 180 degrees, which will occupy a large space when used, and the traditional binder itself is bulky and inconvenient to carry.
U.S. patent Ser. No. 05/846,447 provides a binder assembly that is durable and easy to operate. The binder includes an integral trunk made of elastic plastic material, and a plurality of pairs of matched clamping rings are mounted on the trunk. However, the design of this clamping ring may be bent or damaged during use, and the binder can only be turned 180 degrees.
U.S. patent Ser. No. 08/806,056 provides a ring binder for fixing perforated paper and the like, which includes an annular metal. The annular metal is composed of a pair of blades, and the blades can move relatively. This design may require more force when opening and closing, and it is not simple and convenient to use.
U.S. patent Ser. No. 09/061,940 provides a paper binder with strong bearing capacity. This binder is a paper binding device, which controls the binder to open or close through a single device to store paper, but it is not flexible and convenient in the process of use and carrying.
Based on the above problems, it is necessary to put forward a brand-new binder, which can make the turning angle of files larger and more convenient for reading and writing. At the same time, through the unique retaining ring design, it makes the storage and arrangement of files simpler and more efficient, making the work simpler and more efficient, and further improving the experience.
The present invention provides a binder capable of turning paper by 360 degrees, which includes a main body and at least one retaining ring,
The present invention also provides a binder capable of turning the paper by 360 degrees, which includes a main body and at least one retaining ring,
The present invention also provides a binder capable of turning the paper by 360 degrees, which includes a main body and at least one retaining ring,

Further, the main body 1100 has a base point 1500, and the base point 1500 forms a fixed end 1510 on the main body 1100. The fixed end 1510 extends away from the main body plane 1001 and forms an upper free end 1511 or a lower free end 1512 respectively, and the fixed end 1510 extends in the direction of the width. In order to make the paper turn over better, the extended width distance is not greater than the width of the main body 1100. When extended by a width distance, an opposite lower free end 1512 or upper free end 1511 will be formed, and the formed upper free end 1511 and lower free end 1512 will continue to extend and be joined away from the main body 1100, so that the retaining ring 1200 has a path for the paper to turn 360 degrees.

In another embodiment, as shown in
In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the base point structure constituting the retaining ring 1200 can also be other quantitative features, which are not limited to the quantitative features applied in the present invention, as long as the retaining ring 1200 can be constructed so that the paper can be turned over 360 degrees.
In the process of using the binder 1000, it is necessary to punch the collected files. The hole is punched so that the document can be fixed by the retaining ring 1200. The location and size of the perforation need to match the retaining ring 1200.
Next, the paddles 1300 at both ends of the binder 1000 are pressed to open the retaining ring 1200 so that files can be put into the retaining ring 1200. When placing, it is necessary to pay attention to the order and direction in which the files are placed, so as to ensure the convenience when the files are consulted later. Finally, the retaining ring 1200 is closed to fix the file and prevent the file from failing off when moving the binder, thus completing the storage and sorting.
In the broad sense of the present invention, the binder 1000 which can turn the paper by 360 degrees can also be used in other scenes and fields, mainly including: offices, where binders are common stationery for sorting and saving files, making file management more convenient and efficient; or school, students can use binders to organize and save class notes, homework, test paper, etc.; or the library, the library can use binders to sort out and save the borrowing records of books and the classified information of books, or a hospital, which can use binders to sort out and save patients' medical records, examination reports, etc. or family, where binders can also be used to organize and save various documents, such as financial records and important documents of family members.
In a word, the binder that can turn the paper by 360 degrees and its usage greatly improve the efficiency and convenience of file management. No matter in school, office or library, you can use this binder wherever you need to organize and save documents. At the same time, due to its characteristic of being capable of turning 360 degrees, users can consult files more conveniently and quickly.
To sum up, the application of the present invention provides a brand-new binder, which can realize 360-degree turning of files, so that users can consult files more conveniently without turning the binder back and forth, thus improving the consulting efficiency and being more convenient to read and write. At the same time, through the unique retaining ring design, it makes the storage and arrangement of files simpler and more efficient, makes the work simpler and more efficient, and further improves the experience. When in use, it is only necessary to punch the files to be stored and sorted, then align the holes on the files with the retaining ring, put them in the retaining ring, and close the retaining ring to complete the storage and sorting. This method is simple and easy, which greatly improves the office efficiency.
