Abstract: A checkbook folder of integral three-ply construction includes a transverse hinge separating front and back cover panels. The folder is formed by an outer, transparent, rectangular sheet and two smaller, rectangular, inner sheets of synthetic plastic material each being superimposed in edge-to-edge relation with opposite edge portions of the outer sheet and the sheets are bonded together along their peripheral edges. Each cover panel includes a pocket having an opening facing toward the hinge of the folder. An opaque, unitary fibrous insert, imprinted on at least its outer surface, is disposed within the pockets and includes a fold line which corresponds to the transverse hinge.

Abstract: A belt buckle construction is disclosed which has a keeper with a frame and tongue pivotably disposed on the outer end thereof for interengagement with the longitudinally perforated end of a flexible belt strap. The keeper also includes a rearwardly opening sleeve to receive the inner end of the belt strap, which may be of the reversible type. The sleeve includes an upwardly opening undercut slot which exposes a surface portion of the inner end of the belt strap. A combination belt loop and belt clamping member transversely engageable within said slot and including a projecting portion for engaging and releasably clamping the inner end of said belt within the sleeve of said keeper. This construction enables the belt to be cut to any desired length and/or reversed from one side to the other. The belt loop portion of said clamping member serves to receive and retain the outer end of the belt flat against the underlying end of the belt for a neat appearance.
