Carrier and storage binder for fabric samples

A carrier and storage binder for samples of sheet-form material disposed in stacked relationship comprising

• a structurally rigid rear panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and side edges extending therebetween,
• a header secured by hinge means to said rear panel at the top edge thereof in upwardly projecting relationship, said header adapted to receive fabric sample sheets in retained relationship to said rear panel,
• a structurally rigid front panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and side edges extending therebetween with said front panel hingedly interconnected with said rear panel at one side edge thereof for selective swinging movement relative to that edge between a closed position disposed in superposed relationship to said rear panel with the sample sheets interposed therebetween and an open position wherein said front panel is disposed to permit visual inspection of the samples, and
• securing means adapted to selectively interconnect with said header and said front panel for securing said front panel, header and rear panel in rigidly fixed relationship when said front panel is swung to a closed position relative to said rear panel, said securing means including fastening means having first and second mechanically interengageable fabric-type hook and loop elements with one element mounted on said header and the other mounted on said front panel.

A carrier and storage binder for samples of sheet-form material disposed in stacked relationship comprising

• a structurally rigid rear panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and side edges extending therebetween,
• a header secured to said rear panel at the top edge thereof in outwardly projecting relationship, said header adapted to receive fabric sample sheets in retained relationship with the samples extending therefrom in superposed relationship to said rear panel, said header being of elongated channel-form having spaced flanges interconnected along an edge of each by a web, a first one of said flanges disposed in coplanar relationship to said rear panel with a second one of said flanges spaced a distance from the first flange to receive a marginal edge portion of sheet-form material samples disposed in overlying relationship to said rear panel,
• a structurally rigid front panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and side edges extending therebetween with said front panel hingedly interconnected with said rear panel at one side edge thereof for selective swinging movement relative to that edge between a closed position disposed in superposed relationship to said rear panel with the sample sheets interposed therebetween and an open position wherein said front panel is disposed to permit visual inspection of the samples, said front panel having a vertical extent substantially equal to the combined vertical extent of said rear panel and header whereby said front panel, when swung to a closed position overlying said rear panel, will overlie the second of said header flanges, and
• securing means adapted to selectively interconnect with said header for maintaining said header in rigidly fixed relationship to said rear panel, said securing means includes fastening means having cooperatively interengageable elements which are mounted on respective opposed surface portions of said second header flange and said front panel.

• a structurally rigid front panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and side edges extending therebetween with said front panel hingedly interconnected with said rear panel at one side edge thereof for selective swinging movement relative to that edge between a closed position disposed in superposed relationship to said rear panel and said header with the sample sheets interposed therebetween and an open position wherein said front panel is disposed to permit visual inspection of the samples, said front panel having a vertical extent substantially equal to the combined vertical extent of said rear panel and said header, and
• securing means adapted to selectively interconnect with said header and said front panel for maintaining said header in rigidly fixed relationship to said rear panel.

• a structurally rigid front panel having a bottom edge, a top edge and a side edge extending therebetween,
• a second header secured to said front panel at the top edge thereof in upwardly projecting relationship, said second header adapted to receive fabric sample sheets in retained relationship with the samples extending therefrom in superposed relationship to said front panel,
• hinge means interconnecting said rear and front panels along their respective side edges for enabling relative swinging movement of said panels and respective headers between a closed position with the panels and headers disposed in superposed relationship and an open position permitting visual inspection of the samples retained by each header, and
• securing means adapted to selectively interconnect with said headers when said headers and panels are in a closed position for maintaining each header in rigidly fixed relationship to its respective panel, said securing means including a first and second mechanically interengageable elements which are mounted on respective headers.
