Abstract
Provided is an insertion device for paper sheet materials into window pockets. The invention is composed of two elongated flat prongs composed of a stiff but flexible material that are joined at one end to form a handle. Paper sheet material is placed between the elongated flat prongs which act as a shield therefor during insertion of the invention into a window pocket. A finger placed on a protruding edge corner of the paper sheet allows withdrawal of the invention from the window pocket without removing the paper sheet. The invention may be used for extraction of the paper sheet as well.
Claims2
A device for inserting and removing sheet material with respect to a pocket, said pocket being defined by an outer overlay surface and an inner surface, said device comprising:
- pair of prongs, each prong of said pair of prongs having a mutually similar length, width and thickness, each said prong being oriented in mutual parallel relationship, each said prong having a thin thickness as compared with said width, said length and said width of each said prong forming a substantially rectangular shape which defines a first face and an opposite second face, each first face of said pair of prongs being in mutual adjacency, each of said prongs further being flexibly joined at one end so as to permit the sheet material to be placed between each said first face of said pair of prongs, each said prong of said pair of prongs being dimensioned so that said pair of prongs and the sheet material may be both inserted into the pocket and removed from the pocket with only an extreme end portion of the sheet material contacting the pocket, said pair of prongs being structured to guide the sheet material into a seating position in the pocket when said pair of prongs is moved inward relative to the pocket, said pair of prongs being structured to frictionally interact with the sheet material so as to remove the sheet material from said seating position in the pocket when said pair of prongs is moved outward relative to the pocket except when the outer overlay surface of the pocket is pressed against said extreme end portion of the sheet material thereby trapping the sheet material between the outer overlay surface of the pocket and the inner surface of the pocket.
