The present invention aims to eliminate such problems.

Another object of the present invention is not only to solve the above-mentioned problems, but also to make it possible to selectively view all the photos inserted into the pocket file from the outside with the cover closed.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, the pocket album according to claim 1 includes a frame cover having a window, a back cover continuous to the frame cover, and a plurality of pocket parts arranged in a row so as to be foldable at the boundary part. It comprises a transparent pocket file and a cut-and-raised piece that is provided on the back cover and becomes a leg for raising the cover when it is raised, and one end side of the pocket file has a width dimension approximately half of the pocket part. A bendable extra length portion is provided, and one end of the extra length portion is fixed to a substantially central portion of the back cover, so that all the pocket portions can selectively face the window. It is characterized by what it did.

Further, the pocket album according to claim 2 includes a frame cover having a window, a back cover continuous to the frame cover, and a plurality of pocket parts arranged in a row so as to be foldable at the boundary. It is equipped with a transparent pocket file and cut-and-raised pieces that are provided on the back cover and serve as legs for raising the paper when raised, and a band is stretched between the top and bottom or between the left and right sides of the back cover. , characterized in that the pocket file is slidably held in the pocket arrangement direction by the band and the back cover, so that all the pockets can selectively face the window. .

Furthermore, the pocket album according to claim 3 includes:
A frame cover having a window, a back cover continuous to the frame cover, a transparent pocket file in which a plurality of pockets arranged in a row are arranged in a row so as to be foldable at the boundary, and a transparent pocket file provided on the back cover. and a cut-and-raised piece that becomes a leg for raising the cover when the backing paper is raised, and locking portions are provided at one end and the other end of the backing paper, and either of the locking portions is provided. The present invention is characterized in that one side end of the pocket file can be detachably and selectively fixed to the pocket, so that all the pocket parts can be selectively exposed to the window.

[Function] According to the pocket album of claims 1, 2, and 3, the photos placed in each pocket of the pocket file can be viewed as an album by opening the cover.

According to the pocket album according to claim 1, an extra length portion having half the width of the pocket portion is interposed between one side end of the pocket file and the pocket portion closest to the one side end. Let me,
By choosing whether to fold the extra length in one direction or the other, and by changing the way the pocket file is folded,
All pockets can be selectively made to face the window on the frame cover. That is, for example, if the extra length that is approximately half the width of the pocket section is bent in the direction toward the frame cover, the side edge of the first pocket section adjacent to the extra length will be folded between the frame cover and the back cover. It will be located near the border.
Therefore, by folding all the pocket parts after the second pocket part into a bellows shape on the back side of the first pocket part and sandwiching them between the back cover and the frame cover, it is possible to insert the pocket part into the first pocket part. A photo will be facing a framed paper window. Also, while keeping the bending direction of the extra length as it is,

Similarly, by changing the way the pocket file is folded, the photos inserted in even-numbered pockets such as the 6th, 8th, etc. can be made to face the window on the frame cover and be visible from the outside. can.

On the other hand, in the case where the pocket file is slidably held in the direction of arrangement of the pocket parts, the pocket part that slides the pocket file and is held between the band and the back cover is changed, and the pocket part other than the pocket part where it is held is changed. By changing the folding mode of the pocket part as described above,
Any pocket can be made to face the window on the frame cover.

In addition, locking portions are provided at one end and the other end of the back cover, and one end of the pocket file can be selectively and detachably secured to either of these locking portions. , when one side end of the pocket file is fixed to a locking part provided at one side end (for example, the end on the cover side of the frame), the pocket after the second pocket is attached to the first pocket. By folding it to the back side of the pocket, the photo inserted in the first pocket can be exposed to the window on the frame cover. By leaving the fixed position as it is and changing the folding mode of the pocket file in various ways as described above, the photos inserted in the third, fifth, etc. odd-numbered pockets can be placed in the window of the frame cover as appropriate. You can do it. Conversely, fix one side end of the pocket file to the locking part provided at the other end of the back cover (for example, the end opposite to the frame cover), and attach the front of the first pocket part to the back cover. By polymerizing the second pocket part, one side end of the second pocket part can be positioned at the boundary between the back cover and the frame cover. Therefore, by folding the third pocket part and the subsequent pocket parts on the back side of the second pocket part, the photograph inserted in the second pocket part can be made to face the window of the frame cover. Then, by leaving the fixed position as it is and changing the folding mode of the pocket file in various ways as described above, the photos inserted in the even-numbered pockets such as the 4th, 6th, etc. can be placed in the window of the frame cover as appropriate. You can make them appear.
