Referring now to the iirst nine figures of the drawing, it will be noted that the rst embodiment of this invention comprises a binder IIJ having a plurality of rings I I andat least one 4looseleaf I 2. The binder and its rings may be conventional in every respect. It is the loose-leaf I2 which alone constitutes the heart of this invention, although it is best used in connection with a binder of the general character shown in Fig. l. Each loose-leaf I2 comprises an outer layer or wall of relatively stiff material I5, a second outer layer or wall of equally stiff material I6 spaced'.
` top edge of each said layer adiacent `one of the side edges thereof. A plurality of holes 2B is formed in each of said outer layers, `along the opposite side edge thereof, these holes lbeing spaced to conform to the spacing of rings II, in binder I 0. It is by means of. these holes that each loose-leaf member I2 maybe mounted in binder I (I.
A- spacer 2I is provided between the two outer layers I5 and I6, and it will be noted in Fig. 8 that this spacer has a backbone portion`22 which liesl along that marginal edge of the two outer members in which holes 2D are formed. This backbone 22 is also provided with holes corresponding to, and registering with holes 20, formed in the two outer layers I5 and I6. Integral with said backbone 22 is a plurality of laterally extending ngers 23a, 23h, 23e, 23d` and 23e which extend along the top and bottom edges'of the two outer layers I5 and I6, and yalso between each pair of adjacent cut-outs orV windows II.v The bottom finger 23e extends the full width of the two layers I5 and I5. The other fingers 23a to 23d'. inclusive, have rounded ends which are spaced from the side edge of said layers I5 and I6. Corresponding tosaid fingers 23d to 23d inclusive are marginal spacers 24a to 24d inclusive. These marginal spacers lie along the edge of the two layers i5 and IE, spaced a predetermined distance irom the rounded ends of iingers 23a to 23d inclusive. These marginal spacers also have rounded inner end portions, facing the rounded end portions of their corresponding iingers. It will also be noted that marginal spacers 24a, to 24d, inclusive, are aligned respectively with iingers 23a, to 23d, inclusive. An adhesive or other means may be used to fasten said fingers 23a to 23e and spacers 2i and 24a to 24d inclusive to the two layers l5 and I6 of leaf I2. In the preferred form of this invention however, these spacers are integral with one of the layers (see Fig. 9) and they are fastened by means of an adhesive to the other layer.
Four compartments are thereby formed between the two outer layers I 5 and I6 and fingered spacers 23a to 23e inclusive. Each compartment is adapted to receive an insert 3U such as is shown in Fig. 2. Each insert 3B comprises a pair o1 spaced outer layers 3| and 32 respectively, and a plurality of individual inserts or mounts 33 which serve as spacers between said outer layers 3I and 32. Outer layers 3| and 32 are identical with each other and each comprises a sheet or strip of transparent material such as transparent cellulosic or other plastic material. The dimensions of these strips of transparent material are such as to enable them to be inserted into the several compartments thus formed between the outer layers I5 and I5. Their respective lengths are just short of the lengths of ngers 23a to 23d inclusive, and their` respective widths also just fall short of the distances which separate said iingers 23a to 23d inclusive. Strips 3| and 32 are therefore dimensioned to enter the compartments above referred to but it will be understood that their dimensions are somewhat larger than those of cut-outs II and hence there will be little danger of strips 3I and 32 falling through said cut-outs I'I.
Transparent strips 3|" and 32 serve as retaining walls for individual :inserts 33 and they also serve as windows through which the obverse and reverse sides of such coins 35-as1may be mounted therein, may be seen. Each individual insert 33 comprises a substantiallyrectangular meme ber which may be imperforate or may have-one or more holes 36 formedtherein to' accommodate at least one coin 35, the vthickness ofthe material of which said insert 33 is made being suicient to enable saidinsert to accommodate the coin. The length of each insert .33, that is, the
distance between its top and bottom edges, should it is desired to mount in saidinsert 33. Hence it will appear in Fig. 2 that a plurality of inserts corresponding to insert-'33 is provided, said inserts being of varying dimensions as to their width, but all of them beingequal in length or height. i
As these inserts 33 may vary in size, so may they vary, as has already beenl indicated, in the number and sizeof their respective coincut-outs 36. The arrangement'of these inserts between any given pair of outer layers of transparent strips 3I land 32 may be varied at will. The sequence which they follow may be determined by .the manufacturer oi"A the album, and the loose-v leaf may be labeled accordingly, or the sequence of said inserts may be determined bythe user or the album and he may accordingly label the looseleaf in which these inserts are mounted, to correspond with the chosen arrangement of parts.
It will be readily apparent that each complete assembled insert 30, comprising the two outer strips and the plurality of individual inserts lying in between, may very readily be inserted between the two outer layers I5 and I 6 of loose-leaf y I2 and it may equally readily be removed there- .from (See Fig. 2.)
