Abstract:

A reinforcement for a corner mounting hole in a sheet of paper is disclosed. The reinforcement comprises a corner shaped pocket member made of paper or other similar material. The pocket includes a front wall and a back wall, each of which is coated on its inside surface with a layer of a moisture activated adhesive. Each wall further includes a hole which is located so as to be in registration with the corner mounting hole in the sheet of paper when the corner shaped pocket member is mounted onto the corner of the sheet. In using the reinforcement, the inside surfaces of the front and back walls are first moistened. The pocket is then slidably mounted onto the corner of the sheet of paper and then fixed in place with the holes in registration with the mounting hole to be reinforced. The reinforcement is especially useful in repairing or reinforcing the corner mounting holes in sheets of computer printout paper.
