Description

The invention relates to a cassette album, in particular for postage stamps, consisting of a ring binder for album pages which can be stacked on the rear cover, a cover and secured by means of openable rings, which are then connected to a cover of four ; and a cover itself for receiving the ring binder, the spine of which closes the slip opening.

In the case of the cassette binder , the ring binding mechanism is attached to the back of the cover, the front cover of which is placed on the top album page or an inserted cover page to close the ring binder.

This arrangement of the ring binding mechanism has the disadvantage that the ring binder can hold relatively few album pages for a certain width of its spine and a certain thickness of the album pages.

The invention is therefore based on the object of increasing the capacity of a cassette album for album pages while keeping the dimensions of its slipcase unchanged.

This object is achieved according to the invention in a cassette album of the type mentioned at the beginning in that the front cover of the cover is missing and that the rings are removed from their spine and connected to their rear cover. This advantageously ensures that a relatively large number of album pages (approx. 50 7. more) can be accommodated in the ring binder. - A further advantage of the lack of a front cover of the cover of the ring binder is that after the spine has been folded away, the ring binder can be pulled out of the slipcase by the rings, which can also be done by touching the spine, which is still intended and suitable for closing the slipcase opening.

and with a flap hinged to this back

which can be placed on an outer surface of the slipcase and ■ if necessary, detachably connected to this slipcase surface. This

The slipcase design has the particular advantage that the cassette album according to the invention is dust-proof, as desired by many collectors. D«-.bi»'5 can be used as a detachable connection

elegant appearance.

In the preferred embodiment, it is further provided that the drawer flap is secured to its three free

Edges are each provided with a rectangularly formed cover strip, which, when the flap is placed on, covers the adjacent outer surfaces of the slipcase and thereby not only reinforces the impression of a rich design of the cassette album according to the invention, but also prevents the slipcase flap from being displaced in its support plane in relation to the slipcase body, thereby dangerously loading the weak points - the long joints between the movable slipcase back on the one hand and the slipcase flap and slipcase body on the other.

The cassette album according to the invention also consists in the embodiment of a ring binder (10) for album pages (12) and of a slipcase (14) for holding the ring binder.

The cover of the ring binder (10) has, as usual, a rear cover (16), but no front cover, but only a spine (20) formed onto the rear cover (16) via a material I weakest I Ie (18), from which the usual ring binding mechanism (22) with rings that can be opened (22.1) is moved over the linear material weak point (IS) to the rear cover (16), to which its immovable part is firmly connected, so that the album pages (12) provided with holes for the rings to pass through can be stacked on the rear cover (16) without the stacking order being affected by the position of the spine

(20) whose width is at least as large as the height of the ring binding mechanism (22) measured perpendicular to the plane of the rear cover (16), preferably the same size, in any case as large as the correspondingly measured height of the slipcase (1A). - Of course, the entire ring binder (10) fits into the slipcase (1A) without being able to move within it.

via a weak point in the material (26) hinged to its own back (28) the size of the opening (2A). A flap (32) of the slipcase (1A) is hinged to the edge of the slipcase back (28) opposite the linear material weakest point (26) via a weak point in the material (30), which flap is not provided on the linear material weak point (30), but on all three other edges with a rectangular cover strip (34) formed at right angles. The dimensions of the flap (32) and its cover strips (3A) are such that the flap (32) of the slipcase (1A) can completely cover its outer surface (36) on one broad side, while its cover strips (34) can at least partially cover the three other exposed outer surfaces of the slipcase (14).

To open the closed cassette album, the flap (32) of the slipcase (14) is removed from its outer surface (36) by pivoting it away from the slipcase (1A) together with the slipcase spine (28) until it lies with the slipcase spine (28) on the flat base of the slipcase (H). Then, after folding down the cover spine (20) of the ring binder (10), the ring binder is pulled out of the slipcase (1A) using its rings (22.1) and/or its spine (20) until its rear cover (16) lies on the flap (32), with the spine (20) resting on a cover strip (34).

Of course, the entire ring binder (10) can be removed from the flap (32) with cover strip (34) if desired.

Closing the opened cassette album is done in the reverse order of the steps described by reversing them.
