Abstract
A page holder for a photo album is described wherein photo pages can be conveniently entered or removed from a photo album. Hinge retainers are placed on lower and upper ends of the spine of the photo album. In the preferred embodiment, each hinge retainer is formed of a pair of spaced-apart pier segments, an end wall and an overlying bridge segment so as to form a holding space in which the hinge ends of a photo page are retained. The bridge segments have slots that are aligned and oriented generally along the spine so as to freely pass the hinge ends. A closure element laterally slides along the bridge segments so as to cover or open the slots. Several embodiments are described.
