Abstract
Abstract A removable page marker is formed from an elongated rectangular sheet of material folded back upon itself to form an upper and lower leg. The free end of the upper leg is bent back upon itself and extended between the upper and lower legs so as to yieldably bias against the lower leg. A fastener through the upper and lower legs forms a loop portion for holding an inscription sheet of printed matter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A removable page marker, comprising a generally rectangular sheet material folded upon itself to form an upper and lower leg extending from the fold thereof and generally parallel to each other, said upper leg having a portion of its free end bent back upon itself and extended between said upper and lower leg so as to be yieldably biased against said lower leg, said page marker adapted to receive the edge of a sheet of paper between the bent back end portion of said upper leg and said lower leg.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A removable page marker, comprising a generally rectangular sheet material folded upon itself to form an upper and lower leg extending from the fold thereof and generally parallel to each other, said upper leg having a portion of its free end bent back upon itself and extended between said upper and lower leg so as to be yieldably biased against said lower leg, said page marker adapted to receive the edge of a sheet of paper between the bent back end portion of said upper leg and said lower leg.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The page marker of claim 1, wherein said biased bent back end portion of said upper leg extends from the bend approximately midway back towards the fold connecting said upper and lower legs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The page marker of claim 1, further comprising fastener means connecting said upper and lower legs to form a loop portion between said fastener means and the fold connecting said upper and lower legs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The page marker of claim 3, wherein said sheet material is transparent and further comprising an inscription sheet removably inserted within said loop portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The page marker of claim 1, wherein said lower leg is longer than said upper leg and is adapted to form a lip for guiding said sheet of paper between said lower and upper legs.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The page marker of claim 5, wherein said lip has beveled corners.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
177 words
A removable page marker, comprising a generally rectangular sheet material folded upon itself to form an upper and lower leg extending from the fold thereof and generally parallel to each other, said upper leg having a portion of its free end bent back upon itself and extended between said upper and lower leg so as to be yieldably biased against said lower leg, said page marker adapted to receive the edge of a sheet of paper between the end portion of said upper leg and said lower leg. further comprising fastener means connecting said upper and lower legs to form a loop portion between said fastener means and the fold connecting said upper and lower legs, and wherein said fastener means is located adjacent the free end of said biased end portion, and forms a stop means adapted to stop the insertion of said sheet of paper inserted between the legs of said page marker, whereby the loop portion of said marker will project outwardly from said sheet of paper when the marker is removably affixed thereto.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
177 words
A removable page marker, comprising a generally rectangular sheet material folded upon itself to form an upper and lower leg extending from the fold thereof and generally parallel to each other, said upper leg having a portion of its free end bent back upon itself and extended between said upper and lower leg so as to be yieldably biased against said lower leg, said page marker adapted to receive the edge of a sheet of paper between the end portion of said upper leg and said lower leg. further comprising fastener means connecting said upper and lower legs to form a loop portion between said fastener means and the fold connecting said upper and lower legs, and wherein said fastener means is located adjacent the free end of said biased end portion, and forms a stop means adapted to stop the insertion of said sheet of paper inserted between the legs of said page marker, whereby the loop portion of said marker will project outwardly from said sheet of paper when the marker is removably affixed thereto.
