in a standard pad holder designed to hold a cardboard-backed
pad of paper without interfering with use of the pad and other
standard features of the pad holder" (specification, page 1).
More specifically, on page 2 of the specification, it is noted
that
"[t]here is a need for a pad holder insert which can
provide additional storage in a typical pad holder
so as to enable the user to store and carry
additional items in the pad holder without the need
to resort to a portfolio or briefcase. Such an
insert should prefer-ably be available in a number
of different configura-tions to hold a variety of
different items, such as computer diskettes, a
calculator, keys and coins, and so forth. It is
desirable that such an insert be easily inserted and
that it not interfere with the use of the pad of
paper, inside flap pocket, and other standard
features of the pad holder. It is also desirable
that such an insert be easily removable for those
times when it is not needed, or so that it can be
replaced with a different insert adapted to hold
different items as the user may desire.
Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on appeal
