Abstract:

Apparatus for supporting binders includes a binder insert securable in a binder having a planar portion with a first edge proximate a spine of the binder. A second portion of the binder insert extends from the first portion beyond the cover of a binder and has a transverse portion. The transverse portion slides within a tubular member with an elongated slot. When the tubular member is attached to a horizontal support surface, inserting the transverse portion in the tubular member enables the binder to be supported by the insert with the binder spine lying in a vertical plane.
