  • Sound deadening mechanism for a ring binder
    Publication number: 20040151531
    Abstract: A binder including a flat and a ring mechanism coupled to a mounting surface of the flat. The ring mechanism includes a chassis and a hinge blade coupled to the chassis. The hinge blade is movable between a first and a second position. A ring half is coupled to the hinge blade, the ring half movable between a closed position, when the hinge blade is in the first position, and an open position, when the hinge blade is in the second position. A sound deadening mechanism in the form of a dampening member is positioned at least partially between the chassis and the mounting surface to prevent the hinge blade from directly engaging the inner surface of the chassis.
