ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to an accessory kit for organizing a specific group of related items. More specifically, the present invention relates to an organizing kit specifically for a photo album, scrap book, or the like with the necessary accessories for organizing and maintaining the same.
It is, of course, generally known to provide a photo album for displaying, for example, pictures or other items that are generally flat in nature. Such organization and assembly often requires many components, tools, fastening means, and other items to complete the assembly. Often these components are stored in various locations within, for example, an individual's home. Many photo albums and scrap books require mounts or special adhesives for attaching the photos or other items to the pages of the book. Likewise, other photo albums and books are known which have sheets that are removably attached to each of the pages. The pictures or items to be mounted on the page lay between the removable sheet and the page of the photo album.
More recently, photo albums and scrap books have become more artistic and creative in nature including use of colored pages, such as black. The pages are typically heavier weight construction-type paper. Often, individuals secure their photos or other items and then place their own written notes or the like on those pages to create a story book type album of personal photos and memorabilia. Such photo albums, however, require either distinctly colored ink that will be visible on the colored pages of the photo album or the use of stickers or the like for placement on the pages.
After the books are assembled, it is often difficult to locate the pictures organized therein. In addition, some pictures are often difficult to view without the use of, a magnifying glass, or the like, particularly by the elderly or individuals having vision problems.
A need, therefore, exists for an improved kit or assembly for organizing and assembling photos and/or other items and simplifying the organization and the ability to locate photos after the same are organized. Furthermore, a need exists for improving the ability to view the photographs following their organization.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an assembly and a kit including a photo album with pages for mounting photos and/or other items and the necessary components for organizing, displaying, and subsequently viewing and locating those photos.
To this end, in an embodiment, the present invention provides an assembly. The assembly has a front cover and a back cover connected along one side of each cover to pivot with respect to one another. A plurality of pages is connected between the front cover and the back cover. A plurality of compartments is formed in the back cover wherein each of the plurality of compartments contains at least one component necessary for display and organization of the plurality of pages.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a camera.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a recorder.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a digital organizer.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a pen.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a mounting device.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is scissors.
In an embodiment, at least one of the components is a stamp pad.
In an embodiment, a magnifying sheet is attached to the back cover.
In an embodiment, a plurality of grooves are provided on the back cover slidably attached to the magnifying sheet to allow adjustment in height of the magnifying sheet.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a kit is provided. The kit has a container having a base having a plurality of compartments and further has a cover attached to the base wherein the cover encloses the base and the plurality of compartments. A book has a plurality of pages in one of the plurality of compartments in the base of the container. A plurality of compartments necessary for display and organization of the book is provided wherein each of the plurality of compartments of the container includes at least one of the plurality of components therein.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a camera.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a recorder.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a digital organizer.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a pen.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a mounting device.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is scissors.
In an embodiment, one of the plurality of components is a stamp pad.
In an embodiment, a magnifying sheet is attached to the container.
It is, therefore, an advantage of the present invention to provide an assembly and a kit for organizing and displaying photographs.
Another advantage to the present invention is to provide an assembly and a kit for assisting in locating, for example, photographs.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide an assembly and a kit that assists in viewing photographs following assembly and organization of the same in, for example, a photo album or scrapbook.
A still further advantage is to provide an assembly and a kit including all necessary components for taking photographs, organizing the photographs following processing, and viewing and locating those photographs.
Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from, the detailed description of the presently preferred embodiments and from the drawings.
