ABSTRACT:
The invention is a holder for cheques and similar items, the holder being of unitary plastic construction with a pair of prong-like members being cut from a backing. The prong-like members of the holder in one form of the invention each have a stem portion and an enlarged outer end, the enlarged outer ends being adapted to pass through apertures in a series of sheets to hold those sheets on the backing. In a second form, the holder is formed from a plastic sufficiently resilient that the prong-like members attempt to return to the plane of the backing after being extended out of that plane. In this form of the invention, the pair of prong-like members are cut from the backing such that they are both directed generally toward each other. The pair of prong-like members can be extended through a pair of apertures in a series of sheets when the backing is flexed. After such flexing, the prong-like members attempt to return to the plane of the backing and in so doing act to hold the sheets against the backing. In a third form, the pair of prong-like members are cut from the backing such that they are directed generally away from each other. As with the second form, the prong-like members attempt to return to the plane of the backing after being biased to extend out of that plane for receiving a series of sheets.
