A paper fastening device (10) for securing a stack of papers (40) in superposed relation without creasing or deformation of the papers is disclosed. The paper fastening device (10) includes a flexible body portion (12) comprising a pair of generally flat members (14, 16) which are interconnected by flexible hinges (18, 38) such that stacks of paper (40) of variable thicknesses can be inserted therebetween. A clamping member (20) is integrally formed with the body portion (12) against the stack of papers (40) and retain them in the clamping member under spring tension. In one embodiment, the device (10) is fabricated entirely from a sheet of flexible plastic material and folded into its function configuration. In this version a conventional steel binder clip (22) is disposed within the clamping member (20) to provide the spring tension for the clamping member (20). In an alternative embodiment the entire device (10) is molded from a thermoplastic material in its completed configuration. The fastening device (10) is provided in different configurations for attachment to the corner of the paper stack (40) or, in the alternative, to a lateral edge of the paper stack (40). |
