Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A binder comprising a foldable cover and spine structure having a pair of cover portions separated by a spine portion, support structure overlying the inner face of said spine portion and affixed to the cover and spine structure so as to extend longitudinally of the spine portion, and a pair of mounting members each mounted upon said support structure and movable thereon longitudinally of said spine portion so as to vary the spacing therebetween, each said mounting member being provided with at least one slot extending transversely of the direction of movement of the mounting members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A binder comprising a foldable cover and spine structure having a pair of cover portions separated by a spine portion, support structure overlying the inner face of said spine portion and affixed to the cover and spine structure so as to extend longitudinally of the spine portion, and a pair of mounting members each mounted upon said support structure and movable thereon longitudinally of said spine portion so as to vary the spacing therebetween, each said mounting member being provided with at least one slot extending transversely of the direction of movement of the mounting members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A binder as claimed in claim 1 wherein said support structure is secured directly to the spine portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
A binder as claimed in claim 2 wherein the support structure comprises a support member extending substantially the full length of said spine portion, the longitudinal marginal edges of said support member defining a pair of longitudinal support rails, each mounting member having inwardly bent side edges which grip said rails to provide frictional resistance to sliding movement of the mounting members along the length of the rails.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A binder as claimed in claim 3 wherein said marginal edges of said support member are resiliently deformable towards each other and said longitudinal marginal edges resiliently bear against inside faces of said side edges of said mounting members to provide said frictional resistance.
