Abstract
A photograph album for holding a plurality of leaves in a laterally disposed relation to each other. The album includes an elongate generally U-shaped binder for receiving an edge portion of the leaves. The binder includes a first and second retainer hingedly secured to opposing ends of the binder, such as with an integrally molded living hinge. The retainers are movable between an opened and a closed position. In the opened position, the leaves may be inserted into or removed from the binder. In the closed position, the free end of the retainers engage respective slots in the leaves to retain the leaves in the binder. The retainers include outwardly extending tabs to engage respective openings in the binder to thereby lock the retainers in the closed position. Other aspects of the invention includes a cover for the album and a storage folder for holding a plurality of the covered albums. The album is amenable to assembly using automated technology.
