ABSTRACT:
A support device for bound materials, such as a notebook binder holder pages of computer software documentation, holds the bound materials in two distinct positions. In a first position, front and back covers, along free edges thereof, are received by tracks in the support device which hold the front and back covers in a substantially parallel position to each other. The support device is otherwise essentially open so that the entire spine and substantially all of the front and back covers are easily seen. In a second position, one side of the support device includes a pair of angled notches formed therein which receives lower free edges of the front and back covers. Turning the support device onto its other side, allows the user of the device to place the bound materials in the second position, supported in the notches in an open, raised or easel position for easy access and use. Means for spreading covers of the bound materials apart and into the parallel position includes a guide wall which gradually separates one cover from the other cover. The guide wall is relatively lower in height than inside walls of the device which define tracks for the free edges of the covers. Integral ramp portions of the means for receiving the covers interconnect the guide wall to the inside wall.
