Abstract
A combination of a writing instrument (19) and a notepad (11) or calendar wherein the writing instrument can be easily attached to and removed from the notepad or calendar. A through-hole (15) in the notepad or calendar is adapted to receive a pocket clip typically found on many conventional pens. Preferably the clip has an upwardly curved end (31) to facilitate insertion of the clip into the hole, especially where the notopad or calendar includes a number of sheets of paper requiring that the hole passes through each of the sheets. In a preferred embodiment, the through-hole is located near an edge of the notepad or calendar. Thus, a pen or other writing instrument can be secured to the notepad or calendar by inserting the clip through the hole.

S~ IARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a novel combination of a writing instrument and a notepad or c~lentlAr wL~cill the writing hl~ can be easily ~tt~çh~ to andS removed from the nntep~d or c~lPn-lAr. In a preferred emb~imrnt, the present invention provides a through-hole located near an edge of the n-)tepAd or r~lPnrl~r The through-hole is AdArted to receive a pocket clip typically found on many col.vclllional pens, Alth- -gh, preferably, the clip has an upwardly curved end to fArilitAte insertion of the clip into the hole, esper;~lly where the n<-tep~cl inrllldes a number of sheets of paper 10 ~ ;"g, in one embo~iimPnt~ that the hole pass through each of the shcets. Thus, a pen or other writing ihl~lulllelll can be secured to the n~ tepA~l or c~len~lAr by inserting the clip through the hole.
The plcîcl~.d embo~ provide a s1lperior mrth~l of holding the pen to the 15 lloh pad than the cc,llv~ ;onAl prArtire of simply clipping the pen to an edge of the ..ot~ l since the hole serves to limit muvclll~ of the writing iL~llullle.ll, reduçing the likelihood of the writing i~ uluelll l~o..~ g dislodged. .CimilArly, with respect to a r~lPn-l~r-writing hl~llull.e ~t combi~ ioll, the present invention is ~ ;or to clipping thc pen to an edge of the c~lrT-~lAr or ;,1 .;ug the pen to the c~ Ar by a string since the 20 pen would be free to swing aS people waLk past the r~lrnrl~r~ possibly e~lxi.~g m~rking.c on the wall on which the c~l~ntlAr is hAn~ing Further, the hole/clip combination can be shaped so that there is a snug fit ~l..~en the clip and the hole thereby ...i..i...ic;..g the chance of the clip "~ lly slipping out of the hole.
Accol.lillgly, the present invention provides a simplc .. Pr~ i.C.~ for AttA~'hing a writing instrument to a noteE~ad or c~lenrl~r~ and a simple ~hi~for removing thewriting hl~llulnell~ from the ..olgpad or c~lentl~r.

DETAILED DESCR~ ON OF THE INVENTION
In the following ~lcs~ )n, ~Ull~C~us details such as s~~ mZltP.ri~lc and confi~ .,.ti~ c arc set forth in order to provide a more complelt; .~ u~ g of the present invention. However, the present invcntion can be pnctir~l without those specifi~
details. In other i.~ s, well-known el~ are not dçsrribe~l explicitly so as not to obscule the present h.~lllio Figure 1 shows a ~l~ll~ embodiment of the present invention. A ...~
is shown having a front 13 and an idçntir~l back which is not shown. The back may be made of a stiff cardboard m~t-ri~l or it may simply be the last page of the notepad The noter~l in~ dP,s a number of paper pagec and the optional ~.l~d back 14. Instead30 of a n-tep~-l, a wall e~l~ntl~r or other item having a rclatively small number of pages having a ~ont and a back, with or without an optional cal.ll~ald back could also be used to implem~.nt the invention.
wo 95/0l882 ~) PCT/AUgllon365 Unique in the present invention is a through-hole 15 disposed through the pages of the notepad or c~ql~ontlqr and the optionql cardboard back 14, or as shown in Figure 3, through just the c~.ll,Oa,.l back, which in the Figure 3 embo~1impntis not optional. Thc purpose of the through-hole lS is to provide a point of qttq.~hmPnt for a writing 5 iusll.lluent 19. As shown in the pe,~pGc~;ve view of Figure 1 and Figure 3, the writing iu~llumelll 19, here a pen, is coupk~ to the notepad 11 via the through-hole 15. The coupling is ~qcrn...pliche~1 by a pocket clip 23, found on almost all cou~ nql pens and mqrkp,~
Figure 2 provides a side view of the nstepq.~l and pen combination illnstrqtP~d in Figure 1. As is f1P.t~ilPd in the drawing, the clip 23 of the writing iu~ lùelll 19 passes through the through-hole 15. A distal end 28 of the writing i~llunlenl 19 lies against the surface of the paper portion of~ p~d 13, or as sho~vn in the Figure 3 embo~im~nt, against the surface of the cal.ll,o~ b~ L ;.~g 14. A ~lv~hl~al end 25 of the clip 23 rides 15 at the lip of the through-hole 15. To fqrilit,te insertion of the clip 23 into the through-hole 15, çsper;qlly where the notep~qd in~lucles a mlmh~r of pages and/or a car~boa~ back making the ~-- t~d relatively thick, the clip may be confi~lred to include a portion 31 at the end of the clip which curves upward, away from the body of the writing iu~llulu~ 19.
To implov~; durability, the present invention provides that the through-hole 15 may be l~ulrol~d with another layer of n~tçri~l 35 if ~r~ss~ or ~1 ;rr~ A with a metal or plastic ring. Other techni~lues for stren~ g the through-hole 15 known in the art can be applied here as well.
Figure 4 is similar to Figure 3 excepting that the writing iL~IIuu~ is dispose~
on the side of the b~cking opposile from the side used to hold the notepad Figure S is an illl~ctr~tion of a mo lifi~d writing hl~llu~ t which instead of a clip 30 which is generally parallel to the body of the pen as best seen in Figure 2, has a clip which is ~:nrr~lly perprn~ r to the body of the wIiting hlslluuu~lll as shown in Figure S with two wing portions e~ g from the body of the writing hl~llullleùl. In thc Wo 95/01882 PCTIAU94/00365 _ 5 _ Figure S cmbo~ r~, instead of a through-hole 15, thc c~dl~oa,d b~ in~, if present, or paper, if there is no bA~L ;,~g, inrludes two pairs of slits or cuts 35a and 35b into which thc two wing portions of clip 33 are hls~lled as shown in Figure 6.
Naturally, the through-hole can be located on various other locations of the notep~d with the ~coc;~ d writing in~ co....ec~.,cl in various o,;r..~ . These v ;il;o~ are within the scopc and spirit of thc prcscnt invcntion as rlcfinr(l in the ~ pC~ ~ claims.
