Document holder with a retaining pocket to prevent falling of documents from the document holder

Abstract

A document holder includes rectangular first and second sheets having first and second sides connected together to define a document-receiving space between the first and second sheets. A pocket is formed on a corner of the first sheet within the document-receiving space, and defines a pocket space that is in spatial communication with the document-receiving space and that is adapted to receive a corner of a document which is received in the document-receiving space.
