Looseleaf binder

Description

The FIGURE is a perspective view of a looseleaf binder showing my new design, the looseleaf binder being opened and viewed from the inside. The front and rear of the looseleaf binder are conventionally flat and unadorned.

The characteristic feature of my design resides in the configuration of the interior pocket panel which has straight open edges parallel to the top and bottom edges of the looseleaf binder, said open edges being of different heights and diagonally connected by a straight edge joined to and below the lower pocket portion with an inverted arch all as shown.
