A binding mechanism is provided for securing compact disc sleeves and other sheet material in a notebook binder (10) or wallet (10) and which preferably can be quickly and selectively opened and closed by utilizing a resilient strap locking mechanism (28). In order to secure the sheets in the binder (10), the user initially verifies that a tab (34) is in an unlocked position, thereby aligning locking strip slots (30) and slots (38) integrated into the spine. Once the strap (4) is threaded through the desired amount of sheets, its end (40) is slid through the slots (30) and (38), thereby curling It under the locking mechanism (28). Next, the locking strip tab (34) is slid into the locking position and interconnected to the binder (10), preferably by a snap (36). |
