ABSTRACT:
This invention concerns a box (receptacle) for holding and displaying photographs, in the form of a somewhat flattened parallelepiped, inside which one or more tidily stacked photographs of suitable format can fit exactly, and the first of which, starting from the top of the pile, is clearly visible from the outside of the box, in that the lid of the latter possesses a sizeable central window closed by a sheet of transparent material, thus obtaining the optical effect of making said photograph-holding box into a simple photograph frame, without giving any clues that would enable its primary function as a photograph holder to be seen or surmised. The box for holding photographs, according to the invention, is characterized by certain constructional aspects that render both its use and assembly particularly simple. According to one aspect of the invention the receptacle consists of a prop and a universal support, capable of sustaining the receptacle when positioned on an inclined plane, whichever side it happens to be resting upon; equally original is the provision of an elastic clip, incorporating the release button that, when pressed, causes the lid to automatically swing open.
