Abstract

The index cards have cut off inner corners to allow easy insertion and removal.
Claims20
An indexed display device comprising:
- a protector for holding generally planar displays having:
- a generally planar front cover;
- a generally planar rear cover;
- means for connecting said generally planar front and rear covers together;
- a plurality of envelopes, each having:
- a closed first edge attached at a first said means for connecting said generally planar front and rear covers together;
- a closed second edge opposite said first edge;
- a closed third edge perpendicular to said first edge;
- and
- an openable fourth edge, said closed second edge including:
- at least one slit therein positioned spaced from said third and fourth edges;
- and
- at least one planar index member in positionable in one of said envelopes, said at least one index planar member including:
- a first index edge positionable adjacent said closed first edge;
- a second index edge positionable adjacent said closed second edge having:
- an index tab positioned along said second index edge for insertion through said slit and out of said envelope;
- and
- a third index edge extending between said first and second index edges, said third index edge having:
- a first portion for resting on said closed third edge;
- and
- a second portion curved away from said closed third edge when said first portion is resting on said closed third edge.
