Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reusable greetings card with removable elements which are suitable for composing a personalised message.
  • the traditional card is thus disadvantageous since each time new message has to be communicated a new card has to be used.
  • the object of the present invention is that of providing a greetings card which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages, whereby anybody can easily compose a personalised entertaining message and which moreover has such a structure that it allows it to be reused for a virtually unlimited number of messages.
  • the main object of the present invention is achieved by a greetings card comprising at least one main sheet in paper material or the like bearing writings and/or illustrations defining a message of greetings or one of another kind, a board having a surface on which is possible to write by a suitable felt pen whose writings are dry wipable and means for fastening said board to said main sheet.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the greetings card of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 4.
  • the card of this preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a card which comprises a main sheet 11 in paper material bearing writings 31 and an illustration 32 defining a greetings or romantic message or one of another kind, a metal plate 12 attached to said main sheet which is plasticised or surface-treated with suitable and fully known coatings, for which it is not necessary therefore to provide any indication or description, so as to define a board whereon surface it is possible to write, using a suitable felt pen 29, and dry-erase merely by passing a rag or the like (not shown) over the board.
  • the main sheet 11 is folded along an intermediate transverse line 15 defining the four sides of a traditional card whereof only the internal sides 16,17 are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • a pocket or housing 18 for holding said plate 12 is provided on the main sheet, extending longitudinally from the transverse edge 19 for part of the width of the main sheet and crosswise for the entire height of the main sheet, having ends 20, 21 which coincide with the lateral edges of the sheet.
  • Said pocket or housing 18 also has a window 22 for vision of or access to the plate 12, consisting of a quadrangular aperture provided at one internal side of the card.
  • said pocket with said window for vision of said preservable sheet is formed, as it is better shown in Figures 2 and 3, by a sheet 33 with a central hole applied onto the disposable sheet 11 and glued thereto along there of its edges 34, 35, 36 and which is open along the superior edge 37 for withdrawing said board 12 from sad pocket 18 of the main sheet 11.
  • auxiliary and separate illustrative elements 13, 14 are provided. These auxiliary illustrative elements 13, 14 are engageable and disengageable with said plate or board 12. The adhesion or removal of said auxiliary illustrative elements 13, 14 from the surface of said plate is particularly facilitated, the latter and said auxiliary elements being formed respectively by parts in ferromagnetic material and permanently magnetised material, in order to perform a magnetic attraction between said auxiliary illustrative elements 13, 14 and the board 12.
  • the main sheet is entirely made of ferromagnetic material while the auxiliary illustrative elements have a lower layer or portion 23, 24 in a permanently magnetised material and an upper layer 25, 26 whereon a cartoon character and the cloud containing the words of the cartoon are printed.
  • auxiliary elements 13 and 14 which can be attached to and detached from said plate and which, as shown in the figures, represent a cartoon, the user can easily self-compose a greetings card representing an imaginative message indicative of a personal situation.
  • illustrative and/or informative elements are also provided, printed directly and indelibly on the aforementioned plate.
  • Said preprinted elements in this case consist of squares 27 a cartoon characters 28 and the cloud containing word 28' thereof in order to facilitate writing on the preservable sheet and to personalise further the same sheet respectively.
  • suitable means are provided to maintain the pen in contact with the greetings card.
  • said support means consist of an annular band 30 firmly fastened to the main sheet 11 wherein said felt pen 29 is inserted and attached to the paper sheet of the note along one of its transverse edges.
