'lo all whom it lmay eoncem:

Be it known that'A I, WALTER BAKER, a citir 4record can be readily and quickly obtained.

Another object of the invention is to provide an album wherein the records will be protected against breakage or damage by scratching or the like In the drawing, forming a portion of this I specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the sev eral views Figure l, is a perspective view of the album showing` the same in partly open position. Fig.V 2 is a transverse section through the cover member of the album. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through one of the leaves of the album. i

My improved album comprises a cover l which may be constructed of any suitable material, and as shown, the member 2 of the cover is provided with a pair of arcuate socket. members 8 into which the similar prong members -i on the member 5 of the cover are adapted to be extended, the said ,members 3 and l cooperating so as to form a leaf retainer.

The leaves ot the cover are identically constructed and each comprises an internisdiate sheet of cardboard or other suitable rigid material (i and outer similar layers oit material 7 and 8. The materials 7 and 8 are each provided with a central aperture i). The leaf is covered by cloth or other suitable pliable material l0, and as shown, the material is pressed into Athe openings 9 in the members or materials 7 and 8 and preferably passed, at ll, to the member G. Strips of materiall are secured to the leaves so as to partly close the openings t). These strips :und the openings 9 define pecketsv for the disk records, shown. inFig. 3 of the drawing. -'`hese pockets are open, at 13, so as vto permit of the insertion of the record into or the removalof the same from the pocket. .fidjaeent to the open ends of the pockets, the walls oit the openings 9 are tlared, as shown at lei, so 4as to torm guiding surfaces to facilitate the removal of the record.

llithdrawin an` or ejecting devices are employed for removing the records from the pockets, and as shown, these devices are each constructed from a single piece of flexible material lsueh as tapel one end of the material being secured in any suitable wellknown manner in the pocket and extended downwardly thereinto, at 1G, and across the bottom of the pocket, at l?, and then upwardly at 18, and downwardly, at 19. The portion 19 forms a manipulating tab which may be grasped by the hand when it is desired to remove the record. It will of course be understood that the tape is placed between the record and the material 6 so that on drawing upwardly on the tape `the record will be moved upwardly as shown in the dot-ted lines in Fig. 3 of the drawing.

Any suitable number oi" leaves f may be provided and the leaves are preferably numbered, at Q0. The members 2 and 5 respectively, of the cover are correspondingly munbered, at 2l, providing an index on which the names of the records may be written. A suitable, lock such as the one shown at 2Q, is provided ior holding the members 2 and 5 respectively, el the cover closed.
