Abstract

Abstract The mobile binding consists of two sheets (1 and 2) of cardboard, or similar semi-rigid material, which extend over the whole length of the binding and which are stuck to each other, except at least in the end portions of the spine, and an opening (8) is provided in the inner sheet of cardboard, perpendicular to each of these end portions. The elements holding the magazines consist of clips (9) substantially in a S-form one (9a) of whose end branches is designed to be inserted into the middle of a magazine to be bound (10); the other end branch (9b) is designed to be inserted through one of the openings (8) of the inner sheet of the spine. Each clip (9) is in molded plastic, its central branch (9c) being extended to beyond the portion (9e) where it connects to the first end of branch (9b), by an overlay (9d) in the immediate proximity to the inner sheet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 177 words
Mobile binding comprising two sheets of semi-rigid material, which extend over the whole length of the binding and which are struck to each other, except at least in the end-portions of a spine of the binding, an opening being provided in the inner sheet of material, perpendicular to the spine, and elements for holding magazines, consisting of a clip of substantially S-form at each end of the spine, each clip having two end branches, one of said end branches being adapted to be inserted into the center of a magazine to be bound and the other end branch being adapted to be inserted through one of the openings of the inner sheet at the spine, and each clip having a central branch extended beyond the portion where it connects to said other end branch by an overlay that lies closely adjacent said inner sheet when said other branch is inserted through said opening, said one end branch of the clip being thinner than said other end branch in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the clip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 177 words
Mobile binding comprising two sheets of semi-rigid material, which extend over the whole length of the binding and which are struck to each other, except at least in the end-portions of a spine of the binding, an opening being provided in the inner sheet of material, perpendicular to the spine, and elements for holding magazines, consisting of a clip of substantially S-form at each end of the spine, each clip having two end branches, one of said end branches being adapted to be inserted into the center of a magazine to be bound and the other end branch being adapted to be inserted through one of the openings of the inner sheet at the spine, and each clip having a central branch extended beyond the portion where it connects to said other end branch by an overlay that lies closely adjacent said inner sheet when said other branch is inserted through said opening, said one end branch of the clip being thinner than said other end branch in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the clip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
Binding according to claim 1, in which said other end branch lies in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of the clip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
Binding according to claim 1, in which said one end branch of the clip is pointed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
Binding according to claim 1, in which said other branch of the clip is pointed and its thickness decreases from the point at which it connects to the central branch to its end.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
Binding according to claim 1, in which the clips are of molded plastic material.
