PAPER-TRACKER
is a device that uses two transparent sheets of plastic,
folded and nested, to form offset layers of plastic, held
together with a binding mechanism to create a pressure
region between the layers of plastic. PAPER-TRACKER retains
a document inserted between the plastic tabs by
electrostatic and frictional force between the sheet
material and the document.
A significant advantage of PAPER-TRACKER is that the binder
mechanism does not hold the documents. Instead,
electrostatic forces and a pressure region adjacent to the
binder mechanism combine to retain the documents. Therefore,
the containment of the documents does not rely on gravity,
on an active mechanical clipping mechanism, or on an
adhesive or on a pin. PAPER-TRACKER permits easy, 1-hand,
insertion and removal of the documents without damaging the
documents in any manner, and without moving any of the other
displayed documents.
