Abstract
A combined book closure and indexing device includes a continuous loop adapted for encircling a cover of a book and a plurality of the pages therein to provide a demarcation between the read and unread portions of the book. A closure loop connected to the indexing loop is utilized to circumscribe the book and protect the pages by securing the book in a closed position.

A combined book closure and page indexing device for use with a book having a front cover and a back cover and a plurality of pages interposed therebetween, comprising yieldable page indexing means adapted for snug securement around at least one of said front and back covers along a longitudinal axis with respect to the book and over a selected number of pages, further including book closure means connected to the page indexing means at a common locus, said book closure means being adapted for selectively circumscribing the front and back covers along at least one of a transverse axis with respect to the book and the longitudinal axis for simultaneously securing the book in a closed position.
A combined book closure and page indexing device as claimed in claim 16 wherein the book closure means is comprised of a continuous loop.
A combined book closure and page indexing device as claimed in 14 wherein the page indexing means is arranged orthogonally with respect to the book closure means and parallel to the surface of the page when the book is retained in the closed position.
A combination closure and page indexing device for separating a plurality of pages contained between an interconnected front and back cover comprising indexing means including a first yieldable loop member, said loop member being adapted for encircling at least one of the front and back covers and a selected number of pages, said first loop member further extending along a longitudinal axis with respect to the covers, indexing means including a second yieldable loop member, said second loop member being connected to the first loop member at a common locus and being further adapted for circumscribing the front and back covers along at least one of a transverse axis with respect to the covers and the longitudinal axis to simultaneously secure the pages between the covers.
