ABSTRACT:
A portfolio of the notebook binder type, for holding and displaying a map, an index associated with the map, a writing pad, and writing implements. The portfolio has a front rigid cover including a pocket and a spring clip both located on the inner face. The pocket accepts the stiff backboard of a writing pad. The spring clip is used to retain the pad in the pocket. There is also a rigid rear cover having a pocket having a transparent inner face or a window, for retaining and revealing a map. A hinge pivotally attaches the front and rear covers, and includes hook and loop material for holding at least one writing implement on the inside surface of the hinge. The rear cover has a pivotally or hingedly attached flap of reduced width. The flap has a pocket for holding and displaying an index corresponding to the map, and has hook and loop material for holding the portfolio in the folded condition. The map, index, and writing pad are readily removable from the portfolio. The transparent faces or windows enable an ink marker or the like to be used to enter notes on the map or index, and to be readily erased, as by wiping. A preferred application of the novel portfolio is to enable a person, such as a shopper, to organize a local itinerary within a town or neighborhood, entering notes pertaining to selected stops or locations, while visually encompassing the entire itinerary.
