The front plate 43 has one engaging portion 431. The engaging portion 431 is for being restricted by the recess 10 of the base 1.

The sheath 4 can be operated to switch between a swinging state (fig. 4, 5 and 6) and a binding state (fig. 8 and 9), in which the sheath 4 forms an included angle with the pressing handle 3, each sliding portion 421 is located at the bending section 324 of the corresponding sliding slot 321, furthermore, an end of the sheath 4 far away from the pressing handle 3 contacts one end of the base 1, and the engaging portion 431 is limited in the recess 10. In the binding state, the sheath 4 is parallel to the pressing handle 3, each sliding portion 421 is located at the extending section 323 of the corresponding sliding slot 321, and is blocked by the blocking portion 322, and the blocking portion 322 is used for blocking the sliding portion 421 from moving from the extending section 323 to the bending section 324. The upper end of the engaging portion 431 of the sheath 4 is blocked by the limiting portion 331, and the lower edge of the sheath 4 abuts against the abutting portion 332.

In the present embodiment, the length of the sheath 4 is substantially equal to the maximum distance between the base 1 and the pressing handle 3 in the swingable state, and in another variation of the present embodiment, since the pressing handle 3 is pivotally provided to the base 1, the engaging portion 431 of the sheath 4 may be restricted by the recess 10 after the pressing handle 3 is moved closer to the base 1, whereby the length of the sheath 4 can be made equal to an arbitrary distance between the base 1 and the pressing handle 3. In the swingable state, the length of the sheath 4 is substantially equal to the distance between the base 1 and the pressing handle 3, that is, the length of the sheath 4 covers the paper insertion opening and the ends of the base 1 and the pressing handle 3 near the paper insertion opening on the upper and lower sides of the paper insertion opening in the swingable state.

Referring to fig. 3, 4 and 5, when the sheath 4 is not used, the sheath 4 is in the swingable state, and at this time, each sliding portion 421 of the sheath 4 is located at the bending section 324 of the corresponding sliding groove 321, and the engaging portion 431 of the sheath 4 is limited in the recess 10, so that the sheath 4 can stably connect the pressing handle 3 and the base 1, and the sheath 4 covers the binding area 111. Furthermore, the user can also erect the embodiment as shown in fig. 6, and contact the top plate 41 of the sheath 4 with the desktop (or other planes), so that the area of the invention contacting the desktop is reduced, and the effect of conveniently storing the desktop or other planes is achieved. In addition, because the top plate 41 of the sheath 4 is arc-shaped, the invention can swing under force without toppling like a rocking horse (or a tumbler), thereby achieving the effect of entertaining users.

Referring to fig. 7, 8 and 9, when a user wants to bind, the user only needs to apply force to disengage the engaging portion 431 of the sheath 4 from the concave portion 10, and to displace the sheath 4 along the direction in which the sliding slot 321 extends, so as to move each sliding portion 421 along the respective bending section 324 to the corresponding extending section 323, thereby operating the sheath 4 into the binding state, so that the binding area 111 is exposed, and the user can place paper. It should be noted that each stopper 322 blocks the corresponding sliding portion 421, so that the sheath 4 can be stably connected to the pressing handle 3 without sliding in the binding state.
