Abstract
A storage container holding photographs and/or negatives in segregated chambers in which a central polypropylene frame is wrapped with a resin coated non-acid paperboard membrane. The membrane is spaced away from the frame by a variety of projections so as to form the chambers. The central frame is rigid and dimensionally consistent to allow stacking of the containers even though the paperboard membrane is flexible and forms 3 exterior walls of the container.
Claims21
A container for storing photograph prints and/or negatives comprising:
- a central molded plastic frame;
- a flexible membrane shaped and adapted to wrap about said frame;
- projecting means on said frame adapted to space said membrane from said frame so as to create at least one chamber between said frame and said membrane, said at least one chamber being sized to accept photograph prints and/or negatives therewithin;
- and
- stacking projections extending out from said frame and beyond said membrane to allow stacking of one container upon another.
A container for storing photograph prints and/or negatives comprising:
- a central molded plastic frame having an open end wall;
- a flexible membrane shaped and adapted to wrap about said frame and form a top wall for the container;
- projecting means on said frame adapted to space said membrane from said frame so as to create a chamber between said frame and the top wall of said membrane, said chamber being sized to accept a stack of horizontally disposed, adjacent photograph prints;
- and
- a plastic cap integrally hinged on said frame, said cap adapted to capture and retain said membrane in a position that encloses the end wall of said frame and an end wall of the chamber for the stack of photograph prints.
