Abstract:
The present invention is a folder, particularly adapted for containing and viewing photographic prints or the like. The folder includes a front cover and a rear cover foldably connected to the front cover at a spine or binding area. The folder includes an integral interior pocket and selectively releaseable closure. The binding area includes adhesive securing means for removably securing the contents in the folder. The invention also encompasses a flat blank for forming the folder.
Abstract:
A media binder, comprising: a front surface board, at least one spine board, and a back surface board, wherein each board comprises an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface; a cover sheet wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of the spine board and a portion of a surface cover sheet, the surface cover sheet wrapped around the outwardly facing surface of at least one surface board and comprises a first marginal edge attached to the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board and a second marginal edge unattached to the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board; at least one spring clamp to secure physical media inserted between clamp edges of the at least one spring clamp; and a tension sheet attached to the at least one spring clamp and the inwardly facing surface of the at least one surface board.
Abstract:
A board book album having stiff pages with “hidden pockets,” each pocket holding two photographs, back-to-back, that are framed in die cutout openings in each page. Spacers inside the bound and unbound edges of each page allow the page to accommodate the thickness of the photographs without damaging the binding. Each photograph is protected by a piece of clear plastic. Each page can have a small concave notch along its unbound edge in order to allow a user to turn the pages more easily. The cover can have a frame attached thereto for holding a photograph. The album is sturdy enough to be handled by a small child without the photographs being damaged.
Abstract:
A one-piece panel for the display of a plurality of photos and other card-like items on a flat surface such as a refrigerator door constituted of resilient plastic sheet material into which U-shaped die cuts form numerous integral downward- and upward-pointing tabs. The tabs are made accessible for extension from their original position planar to the body of the panel by means of contiguous cutouts so that they can be used to hold in place display items whose edges are inserted under them.
Abstract:
An album (10) for photographs and similar collectible items comprising a cover (1) in which at least one window (2) is formed for display of a photograph or other flat object. The window is formed by a window frame mounting base (102) having an L-shaped cross sectional profile and a window frame cover (101) having an L-shaped cross-sectional profile.
Abstract:
An apparatus for protecting a layout of loose elements of a draft scrapbooking page includes a flat work surface dimensioned to receive thereon a scrapbooking page and an overlay. The overlay is magnetically cohered to the work surface when the overlay is placed over the work surface in covering disposition to a scrapbooking page, including scrapbooking elements loosely placed on such scrapbooking page, located between the overlay and the work surface. The improvement is characterized in that the apparatus includes, under the work surface, an array or matrix of more than twenty magnets by which the overlay is cohered to the work surface as a result of magnetic force of attraction between the magnets of the array and the overlay. The array may magnets arranged in a rectangular pattern or in a concentric elliptical pattern including, for example, a concentric circular pattern or a concentric non-circular pattern.
Abstract:
Device for displaying media as a wall border or banner. The device includes a transparent front member attached to a rear member with at least two pockets for displaying media. The device includes an adhesive layer on a rear surface of the rear member, allowing it to be mounted on a substantially smooth mounting surface. In different embodiments the adhesive layer is permanently or removably adhesive.
Abstract:
A photo/photo cartridge delivery/storage packet is particularly suited for the products of Advanced Photo Systems (APS) processing. Such packet has first and second sheet-like cover members disposed in spaced, substantially parallel planes. Each member has a spine-adjacent edge and a sheet-like spine interconnecting the cover members along such edges. A plurality of sheet-like photos is between the cover members and is removably/replaceably secured to the spine by adhesive. There is a structural element against either the second cover member or an additional insert card for securing the photo cartridge associated with the photos. The packet may also have a fold-over flap which aids in securing the photographs in the packet.
