Abstract
Abstract The binding (1) has a stub (2) and, emerging from the stub, one or several filing sheets (3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Each sheet comprises one or two vertical strips (8,9) covered with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer protected by a protective film. The thickness of the strips (adhesive layer and protective film) is equal to the thickness of a compensation sheet (12) provided between two sheets of the binding (1), so as to permit emplacing an interposed filing sheet. The invention is applicable to filing, particularly of account sheets or the like.
