Buying guide
A lever arch file is a standing ring binder with a riveted arch mechanism. A lever opens, closes and locks the arches, and space-saving slots are cut into the cover of the standing file. The design comes from Louis Leitz in Germany.[1]
The group is a single hard-cover file of 307 × 282 × 85 mm, marked "A-Z" in the catalogue. On board, lever arch files hold the paperwork kept by subject: correspondence, port and cargo papers, maintenance records and copies of certificates. The master or the chief officer orders them with the stationery.
How to specify it
Give the paper size, the spine width and the number of files. The catalogue item is 85 mm wide. The neighbouring groups list narrower arch files, with a clip fastener (A4 "semi-small") and a lock fastener (307 × 270 × 60 mm "small"), and two- and four-ring hard-cover files. Name the group you want, so a lever file is not replaced by a ring binder.
Check the punching of the papers. In ISO-paper countries, A4 binders use two holes 80 mm apart under ISO 838; the four-hole pattern has no ISO standard. A4 is 210 × 297 mm. Japan also uses a 30-ring system for A4 and a 26-ring one for B5, a different punching altogether.[1][2]
Questions buyers ask
- What is the hole spacing for a lever arch file?
- For A4 in ISO countries, two holes 80 mm apart (ISO 838). North American three-ring binders use 108 mm (4¼ in) spacing, so their punched paper does not fit.
- What is the difference between a lever arch file and a ring binder?
- A lever arch file is a ring binder whose arch rings are opened and closed by a lever and lock shut. It is a standing file with slots in the cover. A plain ring binder has rings you open by hand.
