Abstract
Abstract My invention teaches the use of self spiraling bands preferably of transparent materials adapted to be flexible and used as binding means around a stack of materials. The bands are secured to a base plate and arranged to have movable identification tags attached to the bands which have spaced perforations throughout their length and provide means for securing the bands each to the other. These tags are positioned in specific places along the bands to identify the stop or start of different items at different heights within a stack. The aforesaid base plate has removable casters readily attachable to it when it is desired to carry stacks of materials in greater quantities that cannot be carried about by hand. In addition my stacking device is used as a display rack for items, books or pamphlets and a sample is supported in open or closed condition for easy examination of an item, book or pamphlet contained in the stack, and other contents of the stack may be removed from the stack while an item, book or pamphlet is on display.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A packaging and stacking device for materials comprising; a base plate for supporting materials to be stacked and packaged, a first flexible self spiraling band secured to said base plate and extending from both sides of said base plate, and at rest in coiled condition, a second flexible self spiraling band secured to said base plate and disposed at right angles to said first band and extending from both ends of said base plate and at rest in a coiled condition, said first and second bands arranged to be overlapped generally at right angles to one another about said stack of materials to secure said materials in a package, and; attachment means for securing said overlapped bands to hold said materials in a secured package.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A packaging and stacking device for materials comprising; a base plate for supporting materials to be stacked and packaged, a first flexible self spiraling band secured to said base plate and extending from both sides of said base plate, and at rest in coiled condition, a second flexible self spiraling band secured to said base plate and disposed at right angles to said first band and extending from both ends of said base plate and at rest in a coiled condition, said first and second bands arranged to be overlapped generally at right angles to one another about said stack of materials to secure said materials in a package, and; attachment means for securing said overlapped bands to hold said materials in a secured package.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A packaging and stacking device as set forth in claim 1 having; at least one removable element for identifying materials in said package and said element being removably secured to at least one of said bands.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
97 words
A packaging and stacking device for materials as set forth in claim 1 having; a plurality of holes in said bands, said self spiraling bands being transparent, flat identification tabs slidably retained on said bands and having holes adapted to be aligned with said holes in said bands, legend plates slidably retained in said flat identification tabs interposed between said flat tabs and said transparent bands and having holes for alignment with said holes in said tabs and said transparent bands, and; removable fasteners securing said tabs and legend plates at a point along said transparent bands.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
331 words
A mobile packaging, stacking and display device for materials adapted to be stacked comprising; a base plate for supporting said materials on said base plate having spaced elongated side slots parallel and adjacent sides of said base plate and other spaced elongated end slots adjacent to ends of said base plate, a continuous side band of flexible self spiraling material extending down around a side and upwardly through one of said side slots and across the top of said base plate to span a space between the side slots and extending down through the other of said side slots and up and around the other of said sides of said base plate, and equal lengths of said side band retained on each of the sides of said base plate, another continuous end band of self spiraling material extending down around an end of said base plate and upwardly through one of the said elongated end slots and across the top of said base plate to span a space between the said end slots and extending down through the other of said end slots and up around the other side of said base plate, and equal lengths of said end band retained on each side of said base plate, said base plate having a hole centrally located and peripheral holes centrally located adjacent the sides of said base plate for securing said bands to said base plate, a multiple of spaced holes throughout the length of said bands and selected holes in said bands adapted to be indexed with said hole in said base plate, a removable fastener securing said bands at right angles to each other on said base plate through said selected holes and said hole in said base plate, said bands adapted to be removably wrapped around said stack of materials to secure said stack In a bundle; and; removable fasteners to secure said bands in tightly wrapped condition around said stack to provide a rigid bundle of materials.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
331 words
A mobile packaging, stacking and display device for materials adapted to be stacked comprising; a base plate for supporting said materials on said base plate having spaced elongated side slots parallel and adjacent sides of said base plate and other spaced elongated end slots adjacent to ends of said base plate, a continuous side band of flexible self spiraling material extending down around a side and upwardly through one of said side slots and across the top of said base plate to span a space between the side slots and extending down through the other of said side slots and up and around the other of said sides of said base plate, and equal lengths of said side band retained on each of the sides of said base plate, another continuous end band of self spiraling material extending down around an end of said base plate and upwardly through one of the said elongated end slots and across the top of said base plate to span a space between the said end slots and extending down through the other of said end slots and up around the other side of said base plate, and equal lengths of said end band retained on each side of said base plate, said base plate having a hole centrally located and peripheral holes centrally located adjacent the sides of said base plate for securing said bands to said base plate, a multiple of spaced holes throughout the length of said bands and selected holes in said bands adapted to be indexed with said hole in said base plate, a removable fastener securing said bands at right angles to each other on said base plate through said selected holes and said hole in said base plate, said bands adapted to be removably wrapped around said stack of materials to secure said stack In a bundle; and; removable fasteners to secure said bands in tightly wrapped condition around said stack to provide a rigid bundle of materials.
