  • Sheet retaining devices such as binders having pockets with corner locks
    Publication number: 20060055167
    Abstract: A sheet retaining device such as a folder or a binder that incorporates a corner lock for preventing papers from dislodging therefrom. The sheet retaining device has a front cover and a back cover. Each of the covers has a top edge, a bottom edge, an outer edge, and an inner edge. A first primary flap is connected to the back cover along the outer edge and the bottom edge thereof to form a pocket that is adapted to receive one or more pieces of sheet material. A secondary flap is connected to the back cover along the inner edge and the top edge thereof to form a corner lock adapted to retain corner of sheet material retained in the sleeves. Accordingly, when a piece of sheet material is retained in the pocket, the secondary flap acts as a corner lock on the free corner of the sheet material, tending to retain this free corner and the sheet material in the pocket, even if the sheet retaining device is turned upside down or sideways.
