  • Patent number: 4957205
    Abstract: A computer disk holder for disks of the three and one-half inch format attachable to a three-ring notebook with snap rings is disclosed. The disk holder includes a frame of relatively rigid plastic having tabs formed along an edge thereof so that the disk holder can function as a page flipper for documentation when connected into the notebook. Disks are inserted into the disk holder along guide means and received by retention means. Bias means are biased as the disk is inserted into a compartment of the disk holder defined in part by the guide means. Once the bias means are biased, the disk is held in place by the retention means and the bias means.

  • Patent number: 4793633
    Abstract: A support device for bound materials, such as a notebook binder holder pages of computer software documentation, holds the bound materials in two distinct positions. In a first position, front and back covers, along free edges thereof, are received by tracks in the support device which hold the front and back covers in a substantially parallel position to each other. The support device is otherwise essentially open so that the entire spine and substantially all of the front and back covers are easily seen. In a second position, one side of the support device includes a pair of angled notches formed therein which receives lower free edges of the front and back covers. Turning the support device onto its other side, allows the user of the device to place the bound materials in the second position, supported in the notches in an open, raised or easel position for easy access and use.

  • Patent number: 4687226
    Abstract: A support device for bound materials, such as a notebook binder holding pages of computer software documentation, holds the bound materials in two distinct positions. In a first position, front and back covers, along free edges thereof, are received by slots in the support device which hold the front and back covers in a substantially parallel position to each other. The support device is otherwise essentially open so that the entire spine and substantially all of the front and back covers are easily seen. In a second position, one side of the support device includes a pair of angled notches formed therein which receive lower free edges of the front and back covers.
