A flexible, transparent plastic book cover has a pocket portion attached to the front cover portion containing various pages or a booklet containing emergency medical information. The book cover is particularly adapted to fit telephone directories of any thickness. The book cover has a front cover section having a pocket to slide over the front cover of a phone book, and a rear cover section having a sleeve for slidably receiving the back cover of a phone directory. The third section, which is hingedly attached to a forward portion of the front cover section and extends rearwardly therefrom, is adapted to mount a booklet containing medical information.

The disclosed device comprises a pair of hingedly connected pocket formations receiving data cards which are derived by folding and connecting a plurality of initially integral panels, the panels being formed by cutting and scoring a blank of paperboard of relatively light gauge, and thereafter being folded and secured so as to provide the hingedly connected pocket formations in each of which an end panel of the blank forming the data card is confined and is accessible through an open end so as to enable it to be torn loose and to be moved to different positions in the pocket thereby enabling data imprinted thereon to be viewed through window openings in a wall forming panel on which related data may be imprinted.

A foldable writing board made up of at least four panels attached by hinges or other attachment means so that the board can be folded out flat to become a full size writing board, folded in two to become either a taller or shorter noteboard (folded in a tent-like configuration) or folded in four to either store flat or to be set up as a small computer notepad. The panels are held together by three or more foldable attachment means that hold the panels together, but allow them to also fold along adjacent edges.

An article receiving apparatus and a method of forming an article receiving apparatus having an intermediate panel connected by a fold to a lateral panel on one side and by a fold in the opposite direction to the first fold to a panel connected on the opposite side. A bottom flap is formed by folding a portion of the three panels transversely to the longitudinal axes of the folds. The bottom flap is glued to one of the lateral panels. A pocket is formed between one lateral panel and the intermediate panel which opens at a first side of the article receiving device and the top portion of the article receiving device. Another pocket is formed between the other lateral panel and the intermediate panel, which opens on a second side of the article receiving device and at the top portion of the article receiving device.

A CD-ROM holder suitable for binding. In a preferred embodiment, the CD-ROM is sealed between two vinyl sheets by means of a heat sealing operation. A cardboard spacer is positioned around the CD-ROM in order to limit its movement and to provide a consistent thickness across a majority of the holder. The holder is then gathered with the signatures of the book and bound therewith, after which a portion of the holder is trimmed off in the book trimming operation. One of the heat seal lines on the holder provides a convenient tear line for removing the holder (and hence the CD-ROM) from the bound book.
