Abstract: Subject of the invention is a clamping mechanism particularly for files consisting of two document covers, which are linked by a back part, featuring a clamping mechanism with two sorting adapters which are permanently attached to the base plate and which hold the punched documents, as well as two flexibly attached locks in bearings on the base plate, which by way of the operating handle of the clamping mechanism move into the open or closed position of the clamping mechanism. The flexibly attached locks                                         are interconnected by a knee, which is subjected to the force of a spring, also integrated into the base plate, while in the operating position the knee is also linked to a cylinder, which is located on a lever, that can be rotated around the axis, attached to the bearing base of the base plate and can be operated by the operating handle. In the locked position of the flexibly attached locks and vertical position of the lever, the knee is pressured down against the force of spring, while after the start of                                       the opening procedure of the flexibly attached locks by way of the operating handle the knee is released by turning the lever by a certain rotation angle. It is anticipated that the knee (7) which links the flexibly attached locks (6) features in the centre an additional knee (9) which is located perpendicularly, enclosing with the first knee (7) an angle of 90 degrees and featuring actually the shape of an arc, while in the operating mode the knee is linked to the lever (13) cylinder (15) which can be                                           rotated around axis (11) and fitted to the bearing base (10) in such a way that the cylinder (15) in the locked position of the flexibly attached locks (6) is in the vertical direction linked in particular to the highest point of the knee (9), while when the flexibly attached locks (6) are in the open position and thus after the completed rotation of the lever (13) which can be rotated around axis (11) and flexibly attached by a certain rotation angle, the cylinder is linked to the horizontally located                                           part (16) of the knee (7) which are interconnected by the flexibly attached locks (6). for files consisting of two document covers, which are linked by a back part, featuring a clamping mechanism with two sorting adapters which are permanently attached to the base plate and which hold the punched documents, as well as two flexibly attached locks in bearings on the base plate, which by way of the operating handle of the clamping mechanism move into the open or closed position of the clamping mechanism.
