ABSTRACT:
A binding device is provided for holding sheets of paper and other material of diverse sizes and shapes which allows the paper/material to be easily removed and reinserted. The device includes a rigid frame, first and second lips formed on the rigid frame (the second lip including a first set of teeth), a flexible spring member and at least one adjustable spacer block adjustably positioned on the spring member. One end of the spring member is attached to the first lip. A second set of teeth is formed at the other end of the spring member. The spring member is placed in a closed position by maneuvering the spring member to align the first and second sets of teeth. When the spring member is in the closed position, the paper/material is held securely between the at least one adjustable spacer block and the base surface.
