Abstract:
A new and improve photograph album page for displaying a plurality of photographs of a wide variety of sizes in a convenient manner comprising, in combination:a rectangular backing sheet of a flexible opaque material, preferably paper and having an upper edge and a parallel lower edge about 13 inches in length and having an interior edge and a parallel exterior edge about 12.5 inches in length, the backing sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface with a horizontal centerline and a vertical centerline forming an exterior region between the vertical centerline and the exterior edge and an interior region between the vertical centerline and the interior edge;a plurality of small holes formed through the exterior region of the backing sheet including a lower line of three horizontally aligned holes between the horizontal centerline and the lower edge and an upper line of three horizontally aligned holes between the horizontal centerline and the upper edge;an additional plurality of small holes formed through the interior region of the backing sheet including an inner line of two vertically aligned holes closely spaced from the interior edge and in alignment with the holes of the upper line and the lower line respectively and an outer line of two vertically aligned holes distantly spaced from the interior edge and closely spaced from the vertical centerline;a rectangular transparent large bag fabricated of a flexible plastic material, preferably polypropylene, for receiving and displaying photographs, the large bag being formed of an upper layer overlying the upper surface of the sheet and a lower layer overlying the lower surface of the sheet with a sealed upper edge adjacent to the upper edge of the sheet, a sealed lower edge adjacent to the lower edge of the sheet, a sealed closed edge adjacent to the exterior edge of the sheet and an unsealed open edge receiving the exterior region of the sheet and located in proximity to the vertical centerline for the passage of photographs to be received and supported by the large bag;a rectangular transparent small bag fabricated of a flexible plastic material, preferably polypropylene, for receiving and displaying photographs, the small bag being formed of an upper layer overlying the upper surface of the sheet and a lower layer overlying the lower surface of the sheet with a sealed upper edge adjacent to the upper edge of the sheet, a sealed lower edge adjacent to the lower edge of the sheet, a sealed closed edge adjacent to the interior edge of the sheet and an unsealed open edge receiving the interior region of the sheet and located in proximity to the vertical centerline for the passage of photographs to be received and supported by the small bag and with a small rectangular space formed between the open edges of the large bag and the small bag;heat sealed couplings between portions of the bags and through the holes to form a unitive page with three similarly sized pockets in the exterior region and a plurality of dissimilarly sized pockets in the interior region; andtwo spaced circular apertures extending through the small bag and the sheet adjacent to the interior edge to facilitate mounting the page and similar pages into an album.
