Abstract
File binder structure including multiple bent hooks arranged side by side. One end of the bent hooks is integrally connected together by a connecting strip. The other end of the bent hooks is bent into short plates. A stop slat with I-shaped cross-section is connected to the open end of the bent hooks. The connecting strip and short plates are respectively inserted into two channels formed on two sides of the stop slat. The bent hooks are conducted through the row of holes of the papers and then the stop slat is fitted with the short plates of the bent hooks and the connecting strip to fix the papers. It is very easy to assemble the stop slat with the bent hooks and disassemble the stop slat from the bent hooks. Therefore, it is very convenient to increase or decrease the number of the papers or replace the papers.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention is related to a file binder structure which enables a user to quickly connect and locate papers and conveniently increase or decrease the number of the papers or replace the papers.




Conventional notebooks can be divided into fixed type and loose-leaf type. With respect to the fixed type notebook, one side of the papers is integrally stitched with a string. With respect to the loose-leaf type, a plastic coil or a semicircular metal binder is conducted through a row of holes of the papers, whereby the papers are fixed and can be turned. The conventional fixing measures both have some shortcomings. With respect to fixed type, the number of papers cannot be increased or decreased as necessary. With respect to the loose-leaf type, although the number of papers can be increased or decreased as necessary, it is uneasy to assemble or disassemble the coil or binder.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a file binder structure including multiple bent hooks arranged side by side. One end of the bent hooks is integrally connected together by a connecting strip. A stop slat with I-shaped cross-section is connected to the open end of the bent hooks. The above structure has the following advantages:




1. The stop slat can be easily drawn away from the bent hooks to disassemble the file binder structure.




2. It is very easy to assemble the stop slat with the bent hooks to connect and locate the papers which can be turned for easy reading. Also, it is very easy to disassemble the stop slat from the bent hooks. Therefore, it is very convenient to increase or decrease the number of the papers or replace the papers.




The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT




Please refer to

FIGS. 1 and 2

. The file binder structure


1


of the present invention has multiple bent hooks


10


arranged side by side. One end of the bent hooks


10


is integrally connected together by a connecting strip


11


. The other end of the bent hooks


10


is bent to form an inward extending short plate


12


. A stop slat


20


with I-shaped cross-section is connected to the open end of the bent hooks


10


. The connecting strip


11


and short plates


12


are respectively inserted into two channels


21


formed on two sides of the stop slat


20


.




In actual use, as shown in

FIG. 3

, the bent hooks


10


are conducted through the row of holes of the papers and then the stop slat


20


is fitted with the short plates


12


of the bent hooks


10


and the connecting strip


11


. At this time, the papers are connected and located and can be turned for easy reading. The stop slat


20


can be easily detached from the bent hooks


10


for increasing or decreasing the number of the papers.




According to the above arrangement, it is very easy to assemble the stop slat


20


with the bent hooks


10


and disassemble the stop slat


20


from the bent hooks


10


. Therefore, it is very convenient to increase or decrease the number of the papers or replace the papers.




The above embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
