Abstract

A continuous photo mount comprising a mount body comprising a surface sheet and a rear sheet, said rear and surface sheets affixed to each other so as to form at least one pocket having an open portion whereby said pocket is adapted to receive a sheet-like object, wherein said pocket has a window for viewing said object, and at least one hole through one of said surface sheet and said rear sheet, and an adhesive means for affixing said object to said mount sheet body through at least one of said holes.

Claims

1. A continuous photo mount comprising a mount body comprising a surface sheet and a rear sheet, said rear and surface sheets affixed to each other so as to form at least one pocket having an open portion whereby said pocket is adapted to receive a sheet-like object, wherein said pocket has a window for viewing said object, and at least one hole through one of said surface sheet and said rear sheet, and an adhesive means for affixing said object to said mount sheet body through at least one of said holes.

2. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 having a plurality of pockets aligned end to end and wherein said mount body is foldable at a portion between at least one pair of said pockets.

3. The continuous photo mount of claim 2 wherein said surface and rear sheets are continuous sheets, said pockets are aligned in the longitudinal direction of said sheets, and said windows have a length which is parallel to said longitudinal direction and a height such that said height to length ratio corresponds to the aspect ratio of reproducing equipment.

4. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein said pocket is significantly larger than said window in at least one dimension.

5. The continuous photo mount of claim 2 wherein said pockets are formed by sealing said surface and said rear sheets at portions which are about midway between two adjacent windows.

6. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein said pocket is of sufficient size to accommodate therein an elongated object.

7. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein a data recording space is provided in a non-window portion thereof.

8. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein said object is affixed to said surface sheet or said rear sheet so that the sheet adjacent to the rear portion of said object is colored or patterned with a chromatic or achromatic color.

9. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein said pocket is capable of receiving an intermediate mount having a predetermined opening which corresponds at least in part with said window.

10. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein a plurality of said holes are present.

11. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein a terminal end mark is provided on the longitudinal end of said photo mount.

12. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein a positioning mark is provided for positioning said object relative to said window.

13. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 having a plurality of pockets laid end to end in a two dimensional pattern.

14. The continuous photo mount of claim 13 wherein the ratio of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of said two dimensional pattern is coincident with an aspect ratio of reproducing equipment.

15. The continuous photo mount of claim 3 wherein said aspect ratio is 3:

4.

16. The continuous photo mount of claim 14 wherein said aspect ratio is 3:

4.

17. The continuous photo mount of claim 1 wherein said means for affixing said object is a portion of adhesive tape applied over said hole wherein contact between said adhesive tape and said object affixes said object in position.
