ABSTRACT:
A report cover, which can secure papers therein and may itself be secured into a ring binder. The interior portion of the spine, which lies between the front and back pages of the cover, includes a securing device for loose papers. The securing device can be cooperating pronged fasteners and apertures, clamps or clasps. The exterior portion of the spine includes a plurality of apertures, which are spaced apart from each other. The distance between the apertures is adapted to be complementary to the spacing between the prongs of a ring binder, more specifically prongs of a three-ring binder. The apertures in the spine may be formed within the exterior portion of the spine or may be offset therefrom, by spring clips, which are movably attached to the exterior portion of the spine. The apertures in the exterior portion of the spine receive the prongs of the ring binder.
