do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Albums made according to this invention have each leaf made in the shape of a
receptacle or case for containing a number of photographs, address cards or the
like. The leaf or case is made of cardboard or other suitable material and' of any
desired depth for holding the pile of photographs desired, and of the size that the
album is to be.-In the top of the leaf I cut out one or more openings suitable for
the size or sizes of photographs to be inserted, and cover the back with the
cardboard. The front is then covered with cardboard having cut out parts corre-
sponding with those named but with inner edges projecting in places beyond the
inner edges of the cut out under part namely along the bottom of the photograph,
along each side up to within a short distance of the top, and along the top but at
the latter place both the top of the leaf and the covering cardboard are cut out to
make room for the finger and thumb to be inserted to pull the photograph out from
under the covering bottom edge. The photograph is of the length or depth of the
part cut out in the covering cardboard or rather a trifle shorter. To pull one out
it is by inserting the finger and thumb in the part named lifted so far that it may
be lifted out after having passed the two lateral projecting edges.
The projecting edges prevent the photograph in the leaf or casing from dropping
out whatever the position of the photograph may be, while at the same time
permitting their being conveniently inserted or taken out.
I
When say four photograph openings are made in one leaf or case two above
and two below it is convenient to make each opening-for inserting finger and
thumb run right through from the two lower photograph openings to the two
upper ones.
The leaves or cases may be of cardboard, papier maché or other suitable
material,

page_text: I, ALEXIS KÖHL of 10 Herluf Trolles Gade Copenhagen Denmark Civil Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
:
Albums made according to this invention have each leaf made in the shape
of a receptacle or case for containing a number of photographs address cards or
the like.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a plan view of such a "leaf" and
Figure 2 a transverse section through same on lines a, b, c, d.
The leaf or case is made of cardboard or other suitable material and of any
desired depth for holding the pile of photographs desired and of the size that the
album is to be. In the top of the leaf I cut out one or more openings t u v w
suitable for the size or sizes of photographs to be inserted, and cover the back with
the card board. The front is then covered with cardboard having cut out parts
corresponding with those named but with inner edges projecting in places beyond
the inner edges of the cut out under part namely along the bottom of the
photograph at g h i k along each side up to within a short distance of the top such
as to the points f and i and along the top at m n but at the latter place the top;
both the top of the leaf and the covering cardboard are cut out such as at x to make
room for the finger and thumb to be inserted to pull the photograph out from under
the covering bottom edge. In the case of two spaces in the height of the leaf as
here shown these spaces are joined at ¹ to make room for the finger and thumb to
be inserted. The photograph is of the length or depth p of the part cut out or
rather a trifle shorter. To pull one out it is by inserting the finger and thumb in
the part or lifted so far that it may be lifted out after having passed the two
lateral projecting edges gf and k l.
f
These projecting edges. prevent the photograph in the leaf or casing from
dropping out whatever the position of the photograph may be, while at the same
time permitting their being conveniently inserted or taken out.
When say four photograph openings are made in one leaf or case two above and
two.below it is convenient to make each opening for inserting finger and thumb
run right through from the two lower photograph openings to the upper ones as
shown at and already stated.
The leaves or cases may be of cardboard papier maché or other suitable material
and be got up or ornamented in any desired manner.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
A box shaped album leaf having one or more recesses of a size to receive photo-
graphs which are held in place by projecting edges or parts which are interrupted
at two opposite sides for withdrawing and inserting the photographs, the recess or
recesses being also formed with a cut out part for inserting a thumb and finger
when withdrawing or inserting a photograph substantially as described and
shown.
