ABSTRACT:
A binding structure for binding together sheets of paper having multiple openings along a margin thereof is provided. The structure comprises a male connector panel having multiple openings along its edge and a female connector panel fastened to the back panel of a one-piece report cover by means of adhesive, extending adjacent and parallel to the second hinge and distanced to allow enough room for the tab-shape on the male connector panel to be inserted to the center opening of the female connector panel without interfering with the adhesion of the female connector panel to the back panel of the cover. An elongated binding element is provided extending adjacent and parallel to the margin of the sheets of paper and the male connector panel edge. The male connector panel is disposed on a bottom side of the elongated binding element. A one-piece report cover is provided having a front panel, a center spine panel, a back panel, a first hinge and a second hinge. The first and second hinges are formed integral with the one piece cover and define pivotal connections between the front panel, the center spine panel and the back panel. The front panel is pivotal along the first hinge and second hinge so that the front panel is pivotally position able on top of the sheets of paper when in a closed position. The front panel, the back panel, and the sheets of paper are approximately parallel to one another allowing the structure to lay substantially flat.
