Abstract
A booklet storage includes a first storage member that includes a first receiver portion and a second receiver portion connecting with the first receiver portion; and a second storage member that includes a third receiver portion and a fourth receiver portion connecting with the third receiver portion, wherein the first storage member and the second storage member together receive a booklet in combination, and wherein a first width between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the third receiver portion and a second width between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the fourth receiver portion are different from each other.
Claims24
A booklet storage comprising:
- a first storage member that includes
- a first receiver portion and a second receiver portion connecting with the first receiver portion;
- and
- a second storage member that includes
- a third receiver portion and a fourth receiver portion connecting with the third receiver portion,
- wherein the first storage member and the second storage member together receive a booklet in combination, and
- wherein a first width in a first configuration between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the third receiver portion is different than a second width in a second configuration between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the fourth receiver portion, wherein in the first configuration, the first receiver portion and the third receiver portion are disposed as bottom portions of the first storage member and the second storage member, respectively, and in the second configuration, the second receiver portion and the fourth receiver portion are disposed as the bottom portions of the first storage member and the second storage member, respectively,
- wherein the first storage member includes
- a plurality of first attachment portions used to attach the first storage member to an attachment member when the first width is formed with the second storage member, and
- a plurality of second attachment portions used to attach the first storage member to the attachment member when the second width is formed with the second storage member,
- wherein the second storage member includes
- a plurality of third attachment portions used to attach the second storage member to the attachment member when the first width is formed with the first storage member, and
- a plurality of fourth attachment portions used to attach the second storage member to the attachment member when the second width is formed with the first storage member, and
- wherein the relative positional relationship between the plurality of first attachment portions and the plurality of third attachment portions when the first storage member and the second storage member are arranged to form the first width is substantially identical to the relative positional relationship between the plurality of second attachment portions and the plurality of fourth attachment portions when the first storage member and the second storage member are arranged to form the second width.
