Method using a jig for affixing an adaptor to the bottom of a business

Abstract

A jig that may be used to temporarily position a thin adaptor so that it can be attached near the bottom edge of a small, generally planar member such as a card (e.g., a conventional business card or photo, etc.). The jig controls the placement of adaptors and cards with respect to one another, so that each card/adaptor combination will be neatly aligned and spatially balanced. On one of the adaptor's faces there is provided a strip of adhesive that is adequate to permanently attach the adaptor to the bottom portion of a card. The adaptor's lower portion has a set of spaced notches that are designed to mate with (and be held by) a set of rails on a conventional holder, such as a desk-top holder manufactured by the Rolodex Corporation. A generally planar member that makes up the body of the jig, and a set of spatial locating elements is permanently affixed thereto. The generally planar member may be integrally molded into the top of a plastic box that serves as a storage container for a plurality of adaptors. By combining a storage container for adaptors with an alignment jig for connecting those adaptors to business cards or the like, there will be less risk of a secretary having adaptors on hand but not being able to find the alignment jig to efficiently use them. The storage container also provides an effective way of merchandising both the adaptors and the alignment jig.
