Definitions

• This invention relates to files for holding the con- tents such as cards, photographs or prints of same size and same shape, and particularly concerns improvements in the design of the mounting method thereof.
• albums are classified into Self Adhesive Style, Slip-in Style, Flip-up Style,
• This invention provides an album with a unique mount ⁇ ing method of holding photographs or the like. Preferably, it is so handy, cheap and easy to use and hold that all of the above mentioned disadvantages of the previously known albums are overcomed.
• the album according to this invention comprises a • transparent front cover, an inside cover, a back cover and an adhesive tape made of a flexible material. Since the contents are mounted onto the adhesive tape one over anoth ⁇ er, the contents are easily turned over without being dog- eared and compact in spite of a mounting capacity of a lot of contents of the present album compared with the pre ⁇ viously known albums.
• Contents as the term is used here ⁇ in means post cards, name cards, photographs, advertising
• this invention has the advantage of mounting and holding the contents on the adhesive tape instead of
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the album to which this invention is applied;
• FIG. 2 is a view illustrating the inside of this al- 20 bum according to this invention.
• FIG. 3-A shows the contents such as photographs or the like of same size
• FIG. 3-B Illustrates the neatly arranged contents in order for being mounted on a sheet; 25_ FIG. 3-C is a side view of the contents of FIG. 3-B;
• FIG. 4 shows a first modification of this invention in which a reversible adhesive tape is,used instead of the self-adhesive tape;
• FIG. 5 shows a second modification of this invention 30 wherein the front cover is bonded to the inside cover by heat treatment
• FIG. 6 is a side view of the contents being mounted on a sheet one after another;
• FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the inside of the circle 35 in FIG. 6;
• FIG. 8 shows how the contents are turned over
• FIG. 9 is a third modification of this invention where- in the protruding part is inserted into the slot when keep ⁇ ing the album;
• FIG. 10-A is a fourth modification of the present in ⁇ vention in which folding line is removed and a separate . means is provided for connection of the front cover and the back cover;
• FIG. 10-B is a fifth modification of this invention wherein the back cover is removed and thus the adhesive tape, is used as a back cover and a mounting sheet; and
• FIG. 10-C is a sixth modification of this invention wherein the separately adhesive tape is provided between the front cover and the back cover.
• FIG. 1 and 2 The type of an album to which this invention is pri- marily but not exclusively applicable is shown in FIG. 1 and 2, and comprises a f ont cover 1 of any transparent ma ⁇ terial, ai .inside cover 2 , a back cover 3 r and an adhesive tape 4 of a suitable length D.
• the album may be constructed of two covers and one adhesive tape as shown in FIG. 5 and 10-A.
• the album may further be made.- of one cover and one adhesive tape as seen in FIG. 10-B.
• the in ⁇ side and back covers are made of any suitable material such as paper, synthetic leather that appears to be high-grade.
• Side parts of the covers la and 2a are folded inward from the front coveri and the inside cover 2 along folding lines lc and 2c respectively.
• the side parts of covers la and 2a serve to protect side edges of contents 6 that may be exposed, from fading away or being crumpled.
• a string 9 stretched out from a part lb will be fastened to a round- shaped button 10 on the back cover 3 for .tying up the al ⁇ bum, the string having a suitable length.
• the adhesive tape 4 is positioned between the inside cover 2 and the back cover 3, the tape being made of any flexible material, thereby the contents 6 are turned over Without being dog ⁇ eared as seen from FIG. 8.
• a • hole 2e of any shape is formed at any-suitable.place on the inside.cover 2 ' through which the contents can be identified.
• the inner end of the front cover adheres to one end of the tape 4 and the inner end of the inside cover 2 is attached to the inner end of the front cover by previously known conven ⁇ tional way such as glue.
• the back cover has an adhesive tape 7 together with a protective cover 7a and a pocket 8 on the inner surface thereof for keeping films or any matters related with the contents. For instance, one edge of a film cover is attached onto the adhesive tape 7 after removal of the protective cover 7a.
• the contents are of preferably same size and on@- end 6a thereof are attached to the tape 4 overlapping one another.
• the contents are con ⁇ - secutively overplaced to the left side and thus forms the shape of a series of steps having a run d.
• the contents are not easily scattered and lost except by artificial power due to the various excellent known adhe ⁇ sives. While, the removal, change and insertion of the con- tents are easily made due to a simple construction.
• FIG. 4 a first modified form of this invention is found.
• This structure corresponds identically to that il ⁇ lustrated in FIG. 1 and 2 except that a flexible but non- adhesive tape 4a together with a reversible adhesive tape 4b is used instead of the self-adhesive tape 4.
• FIG. 6 and 7 there are provided small spaces A between the contents 6 to facilitate in turning over the contentseasily.
• the FIGS. 6 and 7 shows how the contents are mounted on the holding part. That is, the removable protective cover 5 is removed along cutting lines 5a in turn, as the contents are mounted thereon one after another. Alternatively, there may be no cutting lines in the tape, in which case, the contents are overlapped to be in the shape of lozenge as shown in FIG, 3-C having each space therebetween. Thereafter, the loz ⁇ enge-shaped contents are mounted onto the adhesive tape 4. In either case, the contents are safely kept in place since the attached parts 6a are firmly attached onto the tape.
• FIG. 9 still another modified form of the present invention.
• This structure corresponds identically to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 except that a protruding part 9b,- (0 f the end of part lb, is inserted into the slot 9a formed X ⁇ n the back cover 3 instead of using " the string and the button for tying up the album.
• FIG. 10-A still a further modification of the present invention is found.
• This structure corresponds identically to that seen from FIG. 5. except that the folds: ing line lc formed on the front ⁇ over 1 is removed and the front cover 1 connects to the back cover by a special means.
• FIG. 10-B another modified form of the present invention is illustrated.
• This structrue corresponds sub ⁇ stantially identical to that illustrated in FIG. 5 except that a separate back cover 3 is not required and the front cover becomes shorter by the length of the part lb.
• FIG. 10-C a still another modification of the present invention is found.
• This structure corresponds essentially identical to that shown in FIG. 10-B except that a separate back cover is provided.
