  • Patent number: 5076722
    Abstract: In a loose leaf binder the left (2a, 3a) and the right prong parts (2b, 3b) are each disposed on a common carrier plate (4). The carrier plates (4) are pivotably connected to a base plate (5) and can be depressed using a lever (8) against the force of coil springs (11) into a position in which they lie flat on the base plate. By pulling gently on the end of the catch (10) the binder is released and opens due to the force of the springs (11). Even in the opened state it is still possible to turn the sheets from one prong part to another without such turning being hindered by the lever.

  • Patent number: 4863042
    Abstract: The file tray comprises a plurality of superposed file boxes (1-3) interconnected by guide-rods (4-7) in such a way that an upper box can be spaced from a lower one. For the purpose of limiting their rotation, the guide-rods are provided with stop means comprising blocking ridges (16) on heels (4a-71, 4b-7b) joined to the guide-rods. The heels co-operate with rims projecting toward the guide-rods from the edges of the boxes.

  • Patent number: 4545484
    Abstract: The filing case is particularly suitable for filing diskettes and has a plurality of divider plates spaced one behind the other, provided with projecting labelling tabs and, together with parts of the case bottom and sidewalls, bounding a filing compartment. Each divider plate has two mutually resilient legs, the free ends of which can be inserted in slots in the case bottom, the slots associated with the legs of an individual divider being disposed in a straight line. In order particularly to save on material, the divider plates are disposed in even numbers, are formed identically to one another, and are narrower than the distance between two sidewalls by at least approximately the width of a labelling tab.
