Abstract: A space-saving ring binder is in a collapsed position when not in use, for example, during packing, shipping, storage, occupying shelf space, and in an upright position when in use retaining paper. The thickness of the ring binder is significantly less when in the collapsed position than when in the upright position. The ring binder includes a cover portion and a binding portion attached to the cover portion. The binding portion has a plurality of rings rotatably attached to a toggling assembly. The rings are pivotal from a collapsed position in which the rings define an acute angle with the toggling assembly to an upright position in which the rings are substantially perpendicular with the toggling assembly. The rings may be permanently locked in the upright position.

Abstract: A liquid transfer device is disclosed which comprises a body having a wall defining a cavity within the body. Two hollow conduits extend from the cavity through the wall and project outwardly from the body. Two resilient tubes extend through the body and are attached in fluid flow communication to each of the hollow conduits. A roller clamp is provided within the cavity of the body for selectively applying or releasing compressive force on the resilient tubes to selectively permit or prevent fluid flow through such resilient tubes. A double lumen needle is attached to the body such that the needle engages the two hollow conduits projecting outwardly from the body. Each lumen within the needle is in fluid flow communication with one of the hollow conduits and thereby one of the resilient tubes. One of the resilient tubes is connected at its distal end to a liquid source to be transferred. The remaining resilient tube is connected at its distal end to a vacuum source.
