Abstract: A blotter having a flexible blotter backing and a rigid mount with two slanted slots. The ends of the backing are mounted at two opposite side edges into the mount slots along with the edges of the blotting material. Serrations along the edges of the backing are positioned within the mount slots and bear against the ends of the blotting material. The blotter material impacted edges and the inherent flexibility of the backing provide for the firm retention of the blotting material to the mount.

Abstract: A universal blotter mount apparatus having a flexible blotter backing whose two side edges are received by inwardly and upwardly facing slanted retaining lips located on the surface of a mounting plate. The mounting plate is inserted into a recessed portion of another blotter top or many be formed integral therewith. The edges of the blotter paper and its flexible flush mounted backing are retained together only by their inherent flexible bent condition and the mount's lips. To remove or replace them, the backing and any inserted blotting paper is simply bent to a more severe angle and lifted from the retaining opposite side mounting lips.
