Abstract: A binding device for files and binders in which rings to be inserted into binding holes of an object to be bound are openably and closeably secured to a base plate so as to be opened and closed by an opening-closing mechanism including a rotationally movable lever. In the binding device, a first ring member and a second ring member are configured such that they are interlocked with the opening-closing mechanism including the lever so as to be opened and closed about respective pivot portions and provided in the lower end thereof by rotationally moving the lever. In addition, the first ring member and the second ring member are secured in an opened state when opened, and the lever is secured such that the first ring member and the second ring member are maintained in the opened state.

Abstract: A binding device includes binding rings, a holding member having a length that enables the binding rings to be arranged at a distance from each other, and an operating member movably fixed inside the holding member such that the respective bases of the binding rings are secured onto a surface of the operating member at a distance to secure the binding rings to the holding member. In this binding device, the operating member includes a pair of operating pieces which move within the holding member in a longitudinal direction of the holding member. The base of one of the binding rings is secured to one of the operating piece, and the base of the other binding ring is secured to the other operating piece.

Abstract: A binder that can be opened/closed relatively easily by manually handling the tops of binding rings includes a holding member having a sufficient length to allow binding rings to be arranged with a spacing therebetween, and an operating member fixed movably to the inner side of the holding member such that the binding rings anchored to the surface thereof are fixed to the holding member. The operating member includes a pair of operating pieces movable along the longitudinal direction of the holding member within the holding member, and a pivot shaft formed along the abutting edges of the pair of operating pieces. Further, an opening/closing member is provided to move the operating pieces within the holding member in the longitudinal direction of the holding member while rotating the pair operating pieces around the pivot shaft in the directions to open the binding rings.
