Abstract
A binder assembly has a partition or intermediate panel separating a ring binder compartment from a storage compartment. The binder assembly includes a spine, a rear cover, a front cover, and an intermediate panel. The rear cover and front cover are pivotally or flexibly mounted adjacent the spine. The rear cover and intermediate panel define a ring binder space for holding pages, closed on one side where the rear and front cover are secured to the spine, and being selectively open on the other three sides. A ring binder is mounted in the ring binder space near the spine. A front cover is pivotally mounted to the intermediate panel. The intermediate panel and the front cover define a storage space closed on one side where the front cover is secured to the intermediate panel and being selectively open on the other three sides. First and second zippers extend around the three open sides of the binder and storage space, respectively, to fully enclose contents of the binder assembly.
