Sliding rotatable binder attachment

An attachment for a binder comprising:

• a frame having a center portion and two spaced-apart arm portions that extend from said center portion;
• a means associated with the frame for rotatably attaching the frame to the binder;
• a first slot engaging element mounted to one arm portion and a second slot engaging element mounted to the other arm portion, the slot engaging elements mounted in opposed relationship to each other;
• an article having a front surface, a top edge surface and a bottom edge surface, the top edge surface defining a slot that slidably receives the first slot engaging element and the bottom edge surface defining a slot, parallel to the slot in the top edge surface, that slidably receives the second slot engaging element;
• and
• each slot having a first end and a second end such that when the frame is attached to the binder and when said first and second slot engaging elements are adjacent the first ends of their respective slots, the front surface of the article may be placed in a face up position at a first location relative to the binder and when said first and second slot engaging elements are adjacent the second ends of their respective slots, the front surface may be placed in a face up position at a second location adjacent to said first location.

A binder/attachment combination, comprising:

• a binder having a front cover, a rear cover and a spine securing the front and rear covers, each cover having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
• a frame rotatably mounted to the binder having a center portion and two spaced-apart arm portions that extend from said center portion;
• a first slot engaging element mounted to one arm portion and a second slot engaging element mounted to the other arm portion, the slot engaging elements mounted in opposed relationship to each other;
• an article having a front surface, a top edge surface and a bottom edge surface, the top edge surface defining a slot that slidably receives the first slot engaging element and the bottom edge surface defining a slot, parallel to the slot in the top edge surface, that slidably receives the second slot engaging element;
• and
• each slot having a first end and a second end such that when said first and second slot engaging elements are adjacent the first ends of their respective slots, the front surface of the article may be placed in a face up position at a first location relative to the binder and when said first and second slot engaging elements are adjacent the second ends of their respective slots, the front surface may be placed in a face up position at a second location adjacent to said first location.

A binder/attachment combination,

• a binder having a front cover, a rear cover, a spine securing the front and rear covers and a plurality of openable rings;
• a frame having a center portion and two spaced-apart arm portions that extend perpendicularly from said center portion, said center portion having a plurality of apertures for engagement with the openable rings;
• a first slider piece rotatably mounted to one arm portion and a second slider piece rotatably mounted to the other arm portion, each of said slider pieces having inwardly facing elongated surfaces that define a plurality of concave depressions;
• a first plurality of ball bearings associated with the concave depressions of the first slider piece and a second plurality of ball bearings associated with the concave depressions of the second slider piece;
• an article having a front surface, a top edge surface and a bottom edge surface, the top edge surface defining a slot that slidably receives the first plurality of ball bearings and the bottom edge surface defining a slot, parallel to the slot in the top edge surface, that slidably receives the second plurality of ball bearings;
• and
• each slot having a first end and a second end such that when the frame is attached to the binder and when said first and second slider pieces are adjacent the first ends of the their respective slots, the front surface of the article may be placed in a face-up position at a first location on one side of the openable rings and when said first and second slider pieces are adjacent the second ends of their respective slots, the front surface may be placed in a face-up position at a second location on the other side of the openable rings.
