Patent ID: 7735679

Claim:
A refillable sheet dispenser, comprising: a supporting base having two opposite first lateral sides and two opposite second lateral sides, each of which extends from one of said first lateral sides to the other of said first lateral sides; at least one stack of note sheets supported on said supporting base within said first and second lateral sides of said supporting base, each of said note sheets having two opposite lateral edges, each of which is disposed adjacent to a respective one of said second lateral sides of said supporting base and each of which extends between said first lateral sides of said supporting base, each of said note sheets further having an adhesive-applied segment provided with a repositionable pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a non-adhesive segment extending from said adhesive-applied segment, said adhesive-applied segment of each of said note sheets being attached releasably to said non-adhesive segment of an adjacent one of said note sheets; and a binding unit having a pair of elastically stretchable strips held tensely on said supporting base and extending from one of said second lateral sides to the other of said second lateral sides of said supporting base in such a manner to traverse said stack of said note sheets, said stretchable strips being spaced apart from each other to define a sheet-access slot therebetween for extension of said non-adhesive segment of an uppermost one of said note sheets therethrough; wherein said supporting base is in the form of a flat panel, one of said stretchable strips abutting resiliently against said second lateral sides of said supporting base and said lateral edges of the uppermost one of said note sheets, the other of said stretchable strips abutting against said second lateral sides of said supporting base and said lateral edges of another one of said note sheets under the uppermost one of said note sheets, and wherein each of said second lateral sides of said supporting base is formed with two retaining notches separated by a retaining tongue, said binding unit including an elastic loop member that has two binding segments, each of which defines a respective one of said stretchable strips, said elastic loop member further having two holding segments, each of which interconnects and cooperates with said binding segments to define a generally U-shaped end portion of said elastic loop member that hooks at said retaining tongue formed between said retaining notches in a respective one of said second lateral sides of said supporting base.
