Abstract: The rings of a loose leaf ring binder are selectively locked and unlocked by a locking member which travels within a slot on the spine of the ring binder. The leaf springs of the loose leaf ring binder have notches formed below a portion of the slot. Therefore, when a W-shaped locking prong of the locking member is aligned with the notches, the leaf springs can freely flex upwardly and downwardly allowing the rings of the loose leaf ring binder to open and close. However, when the W-shaped locking prong is not aligned with the notches, the W-shaped locking prong is urged against the leaf springs thereby maintaining the leaf springs in a downward position thereby locking the rings of the loose leaf ring binder in a closed position. The locking member further includes a locking tab to maintain the locking member within a locked position within the slot.

Abstract: A holder for sheet material frictionally secures the sheet material intermediate a back plate and a plurality of rollers. A rigid planar plate in converging relationship to the back plate guides the rollers against the back plate to compress the sheet material against the back plate and frictionally retain the sheet material. On exertion upon the sheet material of a pulling force generally in the plane of the back plate, the compressive force will be increased and withdrawal of the sheet material will be prevented. A pulling force exerted upon the sheet material at a substantial angle with respect to the back plate will urge the rollers along the rigid planar plate away from the back plate resulting in removal of the compressive force and permitting release of the sheet material.
