Abstract
An apparatus for storing items in the volume formed within the rings of a ringed notebook or ringed binder. A main plate member having a plurality of spaced openings therethrough is provided. The spaced openings are arranged and sized so as to accommodate the rings of a ringed notebook or a ringed binder. A storage mechanism is provided for storing at least one selected item. The storage mechanism extends from the main plate member into the volume formed within the rings. Thus, this volume, which is normally unused, can be utilized to store the selected item. In one embodiment the storage mechanism includes a snap on holder. This snap on holder may comprise a storage plate member, locking mechanism and a storage item receiving element. The locking mechanism is associated with the storage plate member for securely attaching the storage plate member to the main plate member. The storage item receiving element extends from a first end of the storage plate member wherein during use of the apparatus the storage item receiving element extends into the volume formed within the rings. In a second embodiment, the storage mechanism is integrally connected to the main plate member.
