Abstract
A holder for flexible material comprising a flat base on which the material rests and at least one hinged side flap adapted to fold over on top of an edge of the material to hold the material in positon, characterized in that beneath the/or each hinged flap an upstanding wall extends from the base to form a backstop and a corresponding flange descends downwardly from the flap adjacent the hinge, the flange and wall being so arranged and dimensioned that when the flange is opened by upward hinged movement from the base ready to receive an edge portion of material, the bottom edge of the flange rests on the upper free edge of the wall to keep the flap open, on closure of the flap the bottom surface of the flange being arranged to `cam` over the upper surface of the wall, the wall, flange and/or hinge resiliently moving until the flange is free of the wall to close down over material positioned on the base. Thus the material can rapidly be inserted into the holder in the correct position and firmly held in the holder by simple closure of the flap.
