ABSTRACT:
A display and storage tray for a stack of photographs, card-like objects or the like, includes a housing, a retaining member, a plurality of slots, at least one guiding member and a lifting member. The housing has an interior that forms a recess that is adapted to hold the stack of photographs. The retaining member is coupled to the housing to retain the stack of photographs within the recess of the housing. A first opening slot is formed between the guiding member and the retaining member, and is adapted to permit the removal of one of the photographs from the stack at a time. A guiding member is coupled to or formed as a part of the housing to guide a photograph back to the bottom of the stack of photographs when one photograph is to be placed back in the stack of photographs in the recess of the housing. A second opening slot is formed between the back of the housing and the a guiding member, and is adapted to permit insertion of one or more photographs to the bottom of the stack of photographs. A lifting member is coupled to the housing and is adapted to press against the bottom of the stack of photographs. The lifting member helps to maintain the stack of photographs within the recess of the housing. The back surface of the housing is configured to form a channel with an opening that leads from the interior to an exterior of the housing. This channel is used to hold the negatives that were used to produce the plurality of photographs contained within the housing. The tray includes a frame support tab and at least one tab slot for receiving the frame support tab. The frame support tab is inserted into the tab slot to support the tray in an orientation that permits the tray to be used as a photograph frame.
