Benefits of technology

"The invention is a picture storage protection apparatus that can prevent exposure damage to stored pictures. It consists of a picture receptacle and a protective sheet or flap that can cover the exposed portion of the stored pictures. The protective sheet is made of a material that can protect against damage, such as ultra-violet light blocking, splash blocking, and anti-glare. It can be attached to the picture receptacle or picture display pocket using adhesives, nails, hinges, or other closure devices. The protective flap can be removably attached or closed against the storage compartment using flexible attachment devices or mating snaps. The technical effects of this invention are that it is simple, inexpensive, and widely accepted."

Problems solved by technology

While the extending portion of a stored picture can be easily gripped, to enable people to select and / or remove stored pictures more easily, the extending portion is exposed to possible damage, such as edge-curling of the picture, ultra-violet light, splashing of liquid, and dust.
