Abstract: An apparatus for pivotally connecting a binder to a support surface, to enable the binder to be moved between stored and accessed positions relative to the support surface. The apparatus is adapted to protect a book enclosed in the binder in stored position. The apparatus includes a link, secured to the support surface, and a yoke, pivotally interconnected between the binder and link. The yoke is adapted to press hingedly-mounted opposed covers of the binder together, upon movement to the stored position, so as to firmly enclose the book mounted in the binder, to effectively protect such book from damage thereto when so stored. The yoke is further adapted to enable pivoted movement of the binder, limited to prevent overtravel, for efficient access to the book mounted in the binder.

Abstract: An apparatus for enabling movement of a binder between stored and readable positions relative to a support, including a first link, securable to the support, contoured in shape, and a second link, securable to the binder, interconnectable with the first link, contoured in shape, slidably movable along a portion of the contour of the first link which extends in two planes, such that the binder is movable therealong between stored and readable positions, to enable access to and reading of the book enclosed in the binder, such as telephone directories, and storage thereof relative to the support, such as a shelf in a telephone enclosure, in a convenient and efficient manner.

Abstract: An apparatus for enabling movement of a binder between stored and readable positions relative to a support. The apparatus includes means for enabling movement of the binder in a substantially off-horizontal plane relative to the support, and means for enabling movement of the binder in a substantially off-vertical plane relative to the support, connected to the substantially off-horizontal plane movement enabling means. The apparatus further includes means for closing the binder in the substantially off-horizontal plane relative to the support upon completion of storage of the binder. The apparatus still further includes means for stopping movement of the movable plate portion of the substantially off-horizontal movement enabling means upon completion of storage of the binder. The apparatus still further includes means for biasing the covers of the accessed binder relative to the back of the non-accessed binder upon completion of access to such binder.
