ABSTRACT:
A photo album assembly has a book-like cover formed of two sheets of plastic, edge sealed to afford front and rear cover panels hinged to a spine panel. In one embodiment each cover panel includes a pocket that receives a paperboard stiffener; in another embodiment stiffer material is used for the inner cover panel sheets. A pair of rectangular retainers are mounted on one cover panel, adjacent opposite ends of the spine panel; a plurality of long, thin binder members are mounted between the retainers, each binder member having slots at both ends that engage the retainers for this purposes. For each binder member there is a flexible hinge tape, having two adhesive-coated strips separated by a non-adhesive hinge strip; one adhesive strip mounts the hinge tape along the edge of the binder member, and the other adhesive strip mounts a photo on the binder member. Alternatively, the binder members may be of unitary construction, with just one adhesive strip for photo mounting. The album is usually shipped to the customer, complete with photographs, in a package assembled in an automated photo processing plant.
