D-Rings?
ReplyDeleteI just received one of my latest findings: It's a Chronoplan Version Midi (equal to Personal size), and I am surprised that it has D-Rings. This means that the backplate is mounted to the backcover, leading to increased total thickness.
Are D-Rings specific to some models, or Chronoplan in general? Are there any other brands/models using D-Rings?

P.S.: For those who'd be interested in the details: It's an Eva Padberg Limited Edition "viola" (dark purple). The design and the leather are just awesome!
The rings in the organiser in the Ipad Case/Organiser such as the Malden and Fusion are mounted to the back cover of the organiser, but they are conventional round rings not D shaped rings (20mm as well)

So it looks like D-rings are rather unusual for organisers.
DeleteHaving the mechanics attached to the backcover leaves the paper stack in place, allowing to open the planner without moving the paper a quarter turn around the rings. And there is no risk for the bottom papers to warp into the ring end.
D-Rings are somewhat special. Especially moving large portions is awkward. But in closed state, the paper stack has a straight edge, not curved as with round rings.
The main effect is that there is a little less width, but more thickness with backcover mounted ring mechanics.

Time Manager?
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes it looks like D-Rings were used at least on some A5 models.
DeleteApart from their portable models (such as Goldline), all TMI (Time Manager) binders were designed for desk use and had removable D-ring mechanisms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim. I think "desk use" is the key. From a quick search, I already noticed that among the brands using D-Rings, mostly A5 and Personal models have such.
DeleteAs I already mentioned, the main advantages of D-Rings are having a straight paper stack, and no "paper traveling" when opening. This makes sense for desk use.
