Abstract: A paper fastener has a base piece with a pair of prongs which may be passed through a pair of keyed slots in a top piece and latched to the top piece to hold stacked papers together. Two latching covers hingedly extend from ends of the top piece. The prongs are folded inwardly against the top piece and the latching covers are folded over the prongs, and the prongs and the latching covers are engaged on a top surface of the top piece. Second teeth on downward facing sides of the folded latching covers engage first teeth on upward facing surfaces of the folded prongs, thereby preventing the prongs from sliding back through the keyed slots. The base piece and the top piece are disconnected by first releasing the latching covers, and then releasing the prongs, so that the top piece can be easily removed to add more pages to a stack of papers or to disassemble the stack of papers.

Each of the base-forming members (17,17) has first and second operating portions (22,23) that move when the base-forming members (17,17) are moved relative to each other. The second operating portions (23,23) move away from each other and press the binding legs (13,13) onto their binding positions when the first operating portions (22,22) are moved toward each other. The binding legs (13,13) are released and the first operating portions (22,22) move away from each other when the second operating portions (23,23) are moved toward each other.

Abstract: A stationery organizer is provided having parallel, C-shaped members that are threaded through the aligned apertures of numerous stationery products. The C-shaped members have adjacent first ends joined by a connecting member, and have second ends that are curved upwardly, rearwardly and inwardly, then joined to define a hook. The C-shaped members are joined by a curvilinear spring member that has a first end spaced apart from the connecting member such that an aperture is formed. The hook is insertable through the aperture only by compressing the curvilinear spring member. Once inserted the hook catches the connecting member as the compression of the curvilinear spring member is lowered, although sufficient compression load remains in the curvilinear spring member to cause the hook to bear upon the connecting member to secure the closure. Only a subsequent compression of the curvilinear spring member will disengage the hook from the connecting member for release.

Abstract: A spiral coil is used when stacking a plurality of sheets each having a plurality of holes punched at a constant pitch, and binding the sheets by inserting the spiral coil therethrough. The spiral coil has a different pitch from that between the holes of the sheets. The spiral coil may be densely wound or have a different pitch from that of the sheets. A bookbinding device is prepared for inserting the spiral coil through the holes in the sheets. The bookbinding device has the same pitch as that between the holes, and has an engaging portion at an end thereof for engagement with the spiral coil. The bookbinding device is inserted through the holes such that the spiral coil follows it and is plastically deformed, thereby binding the sheet. The spiral coil after the plastic deformation is held at a pitch after the deformation.

Abstract: A cord lock device for releasably securing a hinged object in a closed position includes a first cord loop projecting from a first side of a hinged object and a second cord loop projecting from a second side of a hinged object, the first and second cord loops projecting generally towards one another.

The elongate base part has opposite longitudinal edges, a bottom surface, and a top surface. The top surface is mounted with a ring binder unit that is adapted for binding removably loose-leaf document holding sheets. Each of the first and second casing parts has an outer casing surface, a recessed inner casing surface opposite to the outer casing surface, and a hinge edge connected pivotally to a respective one of the longitudinal edges of the base part such that the first and second casing parts are movable between folded and unfolded positions relative to the base part.

Abstract: An automatic teller machine has not only a main store comprising a number of cassettes (38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48) holding stacks of banknotes but also faster operating auxiliary stores (4 and 5) which hold limited numbers of the most popular denominations of banknote. A request for cash is met, if possible, from the auxiliary stores (4 and 5). This enables the machine to provide a service at a faster rate than the rate of dispensing from of the main store. The auxiliary stores are replenished from the main store, preferably at times during which the machine is not in the process of dispensing notes to a customer.

Abstract: A media folder or book binder provided with a rotor having elastic bands stretched between pins on its opposite ends has mounting brackets which are mechanically fastened to the spine of the folder. The brackets have trunnions facing inwardly toward the opposite ends of the rotor to journal the rotor. An important aspect of the invention is that each bracket is provided with a shroud which inhibits or prevents bands from disengaging with their supporting pins as a folded sheet is removed from or installed on the rotor under a strand of the band. In effect, winding-up of the bands during relative lateral movement of a sheet still occurs, but the adverse twisting affect of enabling the bands to slip off pins is prevented. The folder has straps fixed thereto and preferably formed integrally therewith at opposite ends of the folder's spine. These straps interact with latches on the mounting brackets to firmly hold the brackets in place mechanically.
