Abstract
Abstract A PLURALITY OF ALBUM PAGES ARE BOUND TO THE FRONT AND REAR ALBUM COVERS BY MEANS OF A PAIR OF STRAPS WHICH ARE THREADED THROUGH SLOTS IN THE COVERS AND HINGE ELEMENTS ON THE PAGES. THE PAGES AND COVERS ARE POSITIONED ON A SUPPORT SO THAT THE HINGE ELEMENTS ON THE PAGES ARE ARRANGED IN A PAIR OF REGISTERING ROWS, AND A PAIR OF STRAP ENGAGING MEMBERS ARE EXTENDED THROUGH THE RECESSES DEFINED BY THE HINGE ELEMENTS TO ENGAGE ONE END OF EACH STRAP, THE OTHER END OF EACH STRAP BEING SECURED TO ONE COVER. THE STRAP ENGAGING MEMBERS ARE THEN SIMULTANEOUSLY SHIFTED IN A RETURN DIRECTION TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PULL ONE END OF EACH STRAP THROUGH THE HINGE ELEMENTS, THE STRAPS THEN BEING SECURED TO THE OTHER COVER.
