What's the name of this thing that keeps notebook? 📒🤔

I would call it a coil binding Edit: upon research, this type of book is "wire bound" so that would be a wire binding. I found a [Pinterest page about different bindings ](https://pin.it/5dlDHlrc6)

I’d call that a spiral bound notebook, despite the fact that we can plainly see that the wire isn’t wound in a spiral. I don’t know the word for a non-spiral wire binding. Native speaker, plenty of time on earth to run across lots of these, never learned the word 🤷‍♂️

This is a type of wire binding called wire-O binding, twin wire binding, or double-O binding. Most people will call it a spiral binding, and won't be familiar with those other terms, so if you're trying to describe this accurately, I recommend saying it's a "non-spiral wire binding."

A spiral binder.

Binding

Comb?

It’s called a “coil.”

The general term for anything that holds a book or notebook together is “binding,” and this particular kind would be “spiral binding.” Though it’s not in a traditional spiral shape, many notebooks with a binding that’s made of a similar material are in a spiral shape; the name stuck even after the change in design.

I think that is called a plastic or wire comb binding (depending on material) A spiral binding is one continuous piece of metal or plastic that is fed through consecutive holes punched Olin the paper. Though if you described this as spiral bound I don’t think the average person would know the distinction.

This is a "ring binding"

the notebook is spiral-bound. so the metal part itself would probably be a spiral binding.

Wire or comb bound. Spiral is different.

Binding.

The part of a book or notebook that holds the pages together is called "the binding," and this notebook is a style that I would call a "ring binding," or perhaps a "parallel ring binding." It is similar to, but technically different from a "coil ring binding."

It's spiral binding. Please ignore the pedants who say it isn't, strictly speaking, a spiral. Their alternative terms are only used by a minority of native speakers.

I find those if I type "wire binding comb" into Google so I guess it's probably that

Most of the time I just call it a spine.

The image shows a spiral wire binding. There are also spiral plastic bindings. The plastic version uses flat bands of plastic instead of stiff round wires.

Your title makes no sense. Do you mean “this thing that **holds the** notebook **pages together**?

Long spring

Wire

I don’t know an “official” name of the metal wire piece, but in publishing we call this “spiral binding” or “spiral bound”.

I think the most common name I hear for it is "spiral" (hence spiral notebook) or maybe more generically refer to it as a "binding" or a "spiral binding".
