ABSTRACT:
A fastener (50) fastening a paper retaining binder mechanism (18) to a binder (10). A plate (52) is deformable to attach the fastener to the binder mechanism by abutting the plate against the binder mechanism and then striking the binder mechanism with a tool (T) which deforms a portion of the binder mechanism and deforms the plate about the deformed portion for the deformed plate to capture the deformed portion of the binder mechanism. Accordingly, the fastener does not require a preformed rivet or eyelet for securing the fastener to the binder mechanism. A plurality of prongs () are formed with the plate and projecting therefrom. The prongs are used to attach the fastener to the binder by positioning the prongs adjacent a portion () of the binder and then engaging the prongs with the binder portion for the prongs to secure the fastener thereto.
