A file cover restraining device includes a strut-like restraining member for bridging the inside surfaces of the file cover members and constructed from first and second elongate strut members interconnected for relative longitudinal sliding movement thereby to adjust a length of the restraining member to match the separation of the cover members and retained in a selected position by manually operable latches. The first strut member has a hook on an end thereof remote from the second strut member, a first cover mounting portion being pivotally connected to an end of the second strut member remote from the first strut member and having adhesive for attachment to an inside surface of one cover member and, a second cover mounting portion has adhesive for attachment to an inside surface of the other cover member and is formed with an eye. The hook and eye are releasably engaged by pivotal movement of the restraining member toward the spine.

A file cover restraining device for a loose leaf binder of the type having a pair of substantially rigid cover members hingedly joined to respective opposite, parallel, longitudinal edges of a substantially rigid spine for receiving between them stacked papers and comprising a restraining member for maintaining the cover members closed spaced apart in parallel relation comprising first and second elongate strut members interengagable for relative longitudinal sliding movement thereby to adjust a length of the restraining member to substantially match a separation of the cover members to a width of the spine and manually operable, detent latching means on the strut members for latching the strut members in a selected position of adjustment, the first strut member having a first catch means on an end thereof remote from the second strut member, a first cover mounting portion pivotally connected to an end of the second strut member remote from the first strut member and having means for attachment to an inside surface of one cover member and, a second catch means releasably engagable with the first catch means and having a second cover mounting portion with means for attachment to an inside surface of another cover member; so that, when the respective mounting portions are attached to respective cover members adjacent respective free edges thereof remote from the spine, the first and the second strut members can be manually interengaged and slid relatively together to adjust a length of the restraining member to match a separation of the cover members to a width of the spine and the first and second catch means brought into releasable engagement by pivotal movement of the restraining member, so that the restraining member bridges the inside surfaces of the cover members retaining them in closed condition spaced apart in parallel relation.
