Abstract:
A desktop calendar that has first and second rigid panels with top portions that are connected to each other, a plurality of pages each has a top portion with apertures that are rotatably connected to the top portions of the rigid panels by rings or a spool. The calendar also includes a graphic panel that can be at a flat state or an open state, and that includes a front and back panels that are connected to each other along a folded line. A front bottom edge of the front panel is foldabley connected to a front side of a first page, and a back bottom edge of the back panel is foldabley connected to a back side of a second page that is adjacent to the first page.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for thermoforming synthetic paper, more concretely for thermoforming holding strips consisting of synthetic paper, the strips being used to produce sheet-holding devices of a specific configuration. Said devices can be used in the assembly of sheet holders such as calendars, white sheet dispensers or information cards.
Abstract:
A desk leaf base includes a base and a binder. The base is formed of a trapezoidal tubular body that is formed in a trapezoidal shape in a side view, closed from a bottom surface to a certain height in both sides, and opened in an upper portion therefrom. An inclined front wall of the tubular body is removed from one side to the other side, in a range from the certain height to a height higher than the certain height and lower than a top surface. The binder is mounted along an elongated top surface of the base, and includes an elongated body and a plurality of rings. The elongated body is mounted along the top surface of the base with an approximately same width as the top surface. The plurality of rings are mounted on the body and capable of opening and closing. Each of the plurality of rings includes linear portions that protrude from the body so as to extend inclining upward on front and back sides when closing. Accordingly, the desk leaf base which allows the leaf group to easily be replaced is achieved.
Abstract:
A desk storage system for efficiently organizing various office implements using modular components assembled in one of a plurality of configurations according to user preference. The desk storage system includes modular components attachable to one another by connectors mounted on the periphery of the modular components. The connectors enable lateral and, selectively, angular tilt adjustment of adjacent modular components. A strong, rigid shelf is also provided for supporting the modular components, while also allowing the lateral and angular tilt adjustment of the modular components. The system further includes stacked trays selectively adjustable relative to one another. The trays are stacked using stacking brackets readily engageable between paper trays, while providing a strong, rigid connection.
Abstract:
A calendar pad support is molded as a generally planar plastic sheet having a stepped width strip or tongue formed into the sheet comprising a first rectangular portion hinged near the lower edge of the sheet and a second rectangular portion wider than the first and hingedly connected thereto. Notches are formed into the sheet adjacent to the end of the first portion and a tab is formed at the distal end of the second portion by elimination of the corners of the distal end of the second portion during molding with the tab being sized to fit within and be retained by the first and second notches when the first portion of the tongue is folded rearwardly away from the sheet and the second portion of the tongue is folded forwardly toward the sheet. Severable links connect the tongue to the sheet in the as-molded condition. A channel formed of the same material as the sheet and engaging the outer edges thereof opens to the rear of the sheet and extends beyond the front surface to present a matted outer surface of the channel to frame the calendar pad secured to the front of the sheet. Molded posts are formed into the front surface of the sheet and nylon threaded members having expanded heads are retained within smooth bores through the posts to hold the calendar pad to the support device. The sheet and channel include reinforcing ribs.
Abstract:
A greeting card having a front leaf, a center leaf and a rear leaf is formed of a single piece of paper folded into quarters and cut at the upper edge of the center leaf, enabling the center leaf to move from a position where it overlies the rear leaf to a position where it overlies the front leaf. Pictorial material on the center leaf has the same shape and location as pictorial material on the underlying leaves; and, the center leaf has transparent cutouts which expose textual or pictorial material on the underlying leaves.
Abstract:
A calendar has transparent overlay pages which carry opaque calendar data areas and opaque picture portions which are superimposed on an underlying picture, with the opaque picture portions depicting the underlying obscured portions at a different season of the year.An overlay sheet with a transparent area is movable to positions where it overlies either a first base sheet or a second base sheet. An opaque picture portion in the transparent area is formed to be camouflaged when overlying one of the base sheets; and, the opaque picture portion presents a visible pictorial element when it overlies the other base sheet. An opaque area on the overlay sheet causes messages first to be concealed when the overlay sheet is in one position and then to be revealed when the overlay sheet is moved to its other position.
