Patent number: 5988685Abstract: The present invention provides a new customizable folio or report cover system that is useful for presenting customized optical characteristics to both the outer and inner faces of a folio cover. The customized optical characteristics are presented at the outer and inner faces of the folio cover as the result of selective replacement of insert sheet(s) that are placed into a pocket formed between the outer and inner faces of the folio cover. The outer and inner faces of the folio cover each have at least one cutout section(s), of any desired shape or design, through which selective part(s) of the replacement sheet(s) can be viewed. The insert sheet(s) have optical characteristic(s) that are different from those of the outer and inner faces of the folio cover, at least in those areas of the insert sheet that can be seen through the cutout section(s).Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Post-Fax Inc.Inventors: Larry Leibe Mogelonsky, Douglas G.

Patent number: 5890774Abstract: The present invention provides a new customizable folio system that is useful for presenting selectable optical characteristics to one face of a folio cover. The selectable optical characteristics are presented at one face of the folio cover as the result of selective replacement of insert sheet(s) that are placed into a pocket formed between the outer folio cover sheet and an inner backing sheet. Either the outer front face of the folio cover, or the inner backing sheet has at least one cutout section(s) therein, of any desired shape or design, through which selective part(s) of the insert sheet(s) can be viewed. The insert sheet(s) have optical characteristic(s) that are different from those of either the outer front face of the folio cover or the inner backing sheet, at least in those areas of the insert sheet that can be seen through the cutout section(s).Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1996Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Post-Fax Inc.Inventors: Douglas G.
