ABSTRACT:
A flexible sheet protector is disclosed in one presently preferred embodiment as including first and second transparent sheets having at least one retaining pocket formed therebetween. Formed in spaced-apart relation to the retaining or receiving pocket of the flexible sheet protector is a securement portion comprising at least one through-bore having an internal periphery being dimensionally sufficient for engaging one or more retaining members of a loose-leaf binder. Operably disposed between the retaining pocket and the securement portion of the flexible sheet protector is a flexible pocket. Structurally, the flexible pocket preferably comprises an elongated body having at least two opposing sealed sides, an opening formed adjacent an opening of the retaining pocket, and a sealed end disposed contiguous the closed end of the flexible sheet protector. The structural disposition of the flexible pocket in relation to the retaining pocket and the securement portion provides a means for flexing or bending the sheet protector along the dimensional length of the elongated body of the flexible pocket, rather than inadvertently bending the contents of the retaining pocket upon manipulation of the sheet protector.
