CALENDAR/EXECUTIVE PLANNER WITH REPOSITIONAL DIRECTORY SECTION

Abstract: A booklet (10) having pages (11) devoted to presentation of calendar days and pages (13) for notational information mounted by repositionable adhesive (14, 15, 16).

Description: This invention pertains to a calendar/executive planner booklet having a repositional directory section. Many busy people carry or have on their desks a booklet which sets forth a calendar showing the days of each month, perhaps with each month of a year provided. Usually space is provided under each day for engagements to be written down. The past booklets also have provided directory sections, where permanent information is recorded, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers. However, in the past at the end of the calendar period, the entire booklet had to be discarded, along with the directory section. This has meant that the directory sections had to be re-created for the next booklet. The present invention relates generally to a calendar/executive planner type booklet which is provided with one or more blank plages, preferably at the back, whereon directory sheets are mounted by repositional adhesive. In this way, when a booklet has been used to the end of the calendar period, the directory sheet or sheets may be moved to a similar location in the next booklet. Discussion of Prior Art Newman in US Patent 2,731,746 describes a calendar in which a directory or memorandum strip may be placed next to removable calendar sheets. Therefore, the same memorandum strip may be used with different calendar sheets. The disclosure does not involve booklets or directory sheets mounted by repositional adhesive. In Wade US Patent 871310, a repositional adhesive is used, but only to take a marker tab from a sheet thereof (like a sheet of stamps) and position the tab on the calendar at a given date as a reminder. Hamburger et al, US Patent 696098, is to a calendar in which tabs may be removed as the days pass. Schwarz, US Patent 823702 is to the same effect. Also US Specification No. 3290059 (Newman) describes a reminder system including a message keeping book containing a plurality of pages with each page corresponding to a different day in the year and labels associated therewith the labels comprising a flexible strip having a writing surface on one face and re-usable pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the other face to be transferred from one page to another within the diary. Gebrauchsmuster DE U 8602075 relates to wall calendar having sheets which pertain to a calendar with additional information carriers removably affixed to the sheets by adhesive. British Specification No. 332119 (Letts) describes a notebook or diary with a plurality of pages and a tab or flap secured to the notebook cover so that it can be placed between the pages to form a marker and also serves as a pocket to receive a season ticket or card. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a calendar and notational information booklet system for conveying notational information from one of such calendar and notational booklets to at least one of a succession of such calendar and notational booklets, said system comprising:- a booklet having a plurality of sheets fastened together and pre-printed with calendar indicia, at least one other page other than a sheet printed with calendar indicia, at least one notational information sheet for accepting and retaining notational information on one side thereof, having repositional adhesive on the other side thereof, and mounted by said adhesive on said at least one other page and removable therefrom for transfer to at least one of a succession of said booklets, characterised in that the at least one notational information sheet has indicia on said one side and has the repositional adhesive located along 1 to 3 of the marginal edges of the other side, and in that said at least one notational information sheet is transferrable to a said other page of at least one of a succession of booklets. In a preferred embodiment, the or each of the at least one other page of the booklet is rectangular and the or each of the at least one notational information sheet is rectangular of similar size so that its edges are substantially co-terminus with those of the at least one other page when mounted thereon. Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is an isometric view of a booklet according to the invention in partially open form. Figure 2 is a view of the booklet laid open to the January pages. Figure 3 is a view of two notational sheet pages with the booklet laid open thereto. Figure 4 is a view of the back side of one of the notational sheets shown in Figure 3. Detailed Description of the Illustrative Embodiment of the Invention Figure 1 shows an illustrative booklet 10 of the invention, with the pages spread from one another to show the arrangement of pages. The booklet is made up of a stack of sheets 11 fastened together as by staples 12 along a central fold line to thereby provide pages for presenting calendar information and/or support for notational information sheets. Figure 2 shows the booklet laid open to present the days of the month of January. Figure 3 shows the booklet laid open to present two pages 11a following the December pages. These pages have mounted thereon notational information sheets designated 13. Information such as addresses and telephone numbers may be placed on sheets 13. Figure 4 shows the rear surface of a sheet 13, with strips of reuseable adhesive 14, 15 and 16 along three margins thereof. However, one margin 17 is not provided with adhesive. When sheet 13 is pressed against one of the pages of the booklet it will adhere thereto, except that one may use a fingernail, letter opener or the like to gain a hold on the sheet 13 to remove it from the page. In use, the notational sheets may be mounted in a calendar booklet which is printed for a given year. However, at the end of that year, the notational sheets easily may be removed and placed in a new booklet printed for the new year. In this way the notational information need not be rewritten. The foregoing embodiment is described only for illustrative purposes, and other embodiments of the invention will be apparent from the illustration. Therefore, the scope of the invention is to be determined from the appended claims.

Claims: A calendar and notational information booklet (10) system for conveying notational information from one of such calendar and notational booklets to at least one of a succession of such calendar and notational booklets, said system comprising:- a booklet (10) having a plurality of sheets (11) fastened together and pre-printed with calendar indicia, at least one other page (11a) other than a sheet printed with calendar indicia, at least one notational information sheet (13) for accepting and retaining notational information on one side thereof, having repositional adhesive (14) on the other side thereof, and mounted by said adhesive on said at least one other page (11a) and removable therefrom for transfer to at least one of a succession of said booklets, characterised in that the at least one notational information sheet (13) has indicia on said one side and has the repositional adhesive (14) located along 1 to 3 of the marginal edges of the other side, and in that said at least one notational information sheet is transferrable to a said other page (11a) of at least one of a succession of booklets.
