AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The Memory Box is a device for holding and transporting a plurality of substantially planar objects, such as photographs, along with a CD or DVD and / or a memory card. The Memory Box is composed of a front cover and a back cover movably connected by a spine member. The covers include a means for keeping the Memory Box closed. A pocket is attached to the inside of the front cover or the back cover. The pocket is open on one side, allowing the insertion of photographs. This pocket is referred to as the “photograph pocket.” The open side of the photograph pocket is adjacent to the spine member, so that when the Memory Box is closed, the spine member covers the open side of the photograph pocket and prevents objects stored in the photograph pocket from falling out.

Problems solved by technology

These cases may, with some difficulty, be labeled by the consumer, but the cases do not include a convenient means for storing photographs.

These cases lack a convenient means for labeling, and the memory card cases do not include a means for storing photographs.

These envelopes may be labeled by writing on the outside of the envelope, but envelopes are an undesirable storage means because paper or cardboard envelopes provide less than optimal protection for the photographs.

The envelopes also lack a convenient means for storing a disk or memory card.
