Abstract
Abstract A photographic album page formed of a single blank of paper progressively folded to form three plies including apertured outer laminae and a centrally disposed inner lamina therebetween. Photographic prints are positioned and frictionally maintained between one of the outer laminae and one surface of the inner lamina to be removed or adjusted as desired. The inner lamina includes laterally extending projections positioned outwardly of the side edges of the outer laminae to facilitate insertion of prints into pockets formed therebetween. By forming the entire page from a single elongated web, a continuous line operation employing automated production machinery is possible.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A photographic album page comprising: a unitary blank of paper having a principal longitudinal axis, including a first lamina imperforate throughout its extent and having a pair of opposed longitudinal edges, a freE transversely-extending end edge and an oppositely disposed fold edge, said first lamina having a plurality of laterally extending tabs projecting outwardly of said longitudinal edges; a second lamina hingedly interconnected to and foldably overlying said first lamina and having longitudinal edges coaxially disposed with the longitudinal edges of said first lamina, said second lamina having substantially uniformly sized apertures extending through the plane thereof in elongated areas perpendicular to said longitudinal edges, said second lamina being interconnected to a surface of said first lamina in elongated areas to define a first set of print-retaining pockets underlying said apertures, and accessible from openings thereto adjacent said laterally extending projections; and a third lamina similar to said second lamina, hingedly interconnected to said second lamina and interconnected to an opposite surface of said first lamina to define a second set of pockets substantially congruent to said first set of pockets, and accessible from openings disposed adjacent an opposite surface of said tabs.
