Abstract
Abstract A photographic album page of the type comprising a relatively opaque center lamina having exposed adhesively coated surfaces, and a pair of transparent overlay members adapted to be selectively adhered thereto on the inner surface, photographic prints being positionable therebetween to be retained by such adherence. The adhesive is applied to the surfaces in such a manner as to be discontinuous in circular areas of critical sizes and interstitial distance, whereby when the transparent overlay is peeled, no chattering occurs.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
In a photographic album page including a relatively opaque lamina having an adhesively coated exposed planar surface and a relatively transparent overlay selectively adhered to said adhesively coated surface to retain a photographic print therebetween, said page being of substantially rectangular planar configuration, and having upper, lower and first and second side edges, the improvement comprising: said adhesively coated surface having a plurality of substantially disconnected adhesive-bearing areas so positioned upon said lamina as to avoid the formation of a continuous straight line passing through the center of adjacent adhesive areas further than the distance between two said areas in a direction other than parallel to said upper and lower edges, said areas being of circular configuration, and of diameter ranging from approximately 0.03125 inch to 0.1875 inch, and being positioned to have an interstitial distance in a direction parallel to said upper and lower edges ranging from 0.0156 inch to 0.250 inch, said adjacent rows having sufficient overlap so that the areas provide uniform release as the overlay is lifted.
