Definitions

  • This invention relates to a refillable sheet dispenser with flexibility in accommodating stacked note sheets, more particularly to a refillable sheet dispenser having a stack of note sheets bound to a supporting base using two elastically stretchable strips.
  • U.S. patent no. 5, 755, 356 discloses a conventional sheet dispenser that includes a housing 12 having walls defining a chamber 124 in which at least one stack of note sheets 11 is positioned.
  • the walls of the housing 12 include a bottom wall 121 and two opposite side walls 122, each of which has an extension 123 bent therefrom toward the stack of the note sheets 11.
  • the extensions 123 of the side walls 122 define a sheet-access slot 125 therebetween for removal of an uppermost one of the note sheets 11.
  • the conventional sheet dispenser is disadvantageous in that since the size of the sheet-access slot 125 is not adjustable, different sizes of the sheet-access slot 125 are required for different sizes of the stack of the note sheets 11, and that since the height of the housing 12 is fixed, the stack of the note sheets 11 to be accommodated in the chamber 124 is limited to one having a particular thickness and size corresponding to the height and the shape of the housing 12.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refillable sheet dispenser that is flexible in accommodating different quantities of stacked note sheets and that can overcome the aforesaid drawbacks associated with the prior art.
  • a refillable sheet dispenser that comprises: a supporting base having two opposite first lateral sides and two opposite second lateral sides, each of which extends from one of the first lateral sides to the other of the first lateral sides; at least one stack of note sheets supported on the supporting base within the first and second lateral sides of the supporting base, each of the note sheets having two opposite lateral edges, each of which is disposed adjacent to a respective one of the second lateral sides of the supporting base and each of which extends between the first lateral sides of the supporting base, each of the note sheets further having an adhesive-applied segment provided with a repositionable pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a non-adhesive segment extending from the adhesive-applied segment, the adhesive-applied segment of each of the note sheets being attached releasably to the non-adhesive segment of an adjacent one of the note sheets; and a binding unit having a pair of elastically stretchable strips held tensely on the supporting base and extending from one of the second lateral
  • Figs. 3 to 5 illustrate the first preferred embodiment of a refillable sheet dispenser with flexibility in accommodating different quantities of stacked note sheets according to this invention.
  • the refillable sheet dispenser 2 includes: a supporting base 22 having two opposite first lateral sides 220 and two opposite second lateral sides 221, each of which extends from one of the first lateral sides 220 to the other of the first lateral sides 220; a stack 21 of note sheets 211 supported on the supporting base 22 within the first and second lateral sides 220, 221 of the supporting base 22, each of the note sheets 211 having two opposite first lateral edges 2112 and two opposite second lateral edges 2111, each of which interconnects the first lateral edges 2112, each of which is disposed adjacent to a respective one of the second lateral sides 221 of the supporting base 22, and each of which extends between the first lateral sides 220 of the supporting base 22, each of the note sheets 211 further having an adhesive-applied segment 2113 provided with a repositionable pressure-sensitive adhesive 212, and a non-adhesive
  • the supporting base 22 is in the form of a flat panel.
  • One of the stretchable strips 232 abuts resiliently against the second lateral sides 221 of the supporting base 22 and the second lateral edges 2111 of the uppermost one of the note sheets 211, and the other of the stretchable strips 232 abuts resiliently against the second lateral sides 221 of the supporting base 22 and the second lateral edges 2111 of another one of the note sheets 211 under the uppermost one of the note sheets 211.
  • the binding unit 23 includes two elastic loop members 200, each of which has a binding segment 201 defining a respective one of the stretchable strips 232, and a holding segment 233 interconnecting two ends of the binding segment 201 and disposed underneath the supporting base 22.
  • Each of the loop members 200 is sleeved on an assembly of the supporting base 22 and the stack 21 of the note sheets 211.
  • the width (W) (see Fig. 4 ) of the sheet-access slot 231 is greater than 1mm, and the distance (L) between each of the stretchable strips 232 and an adjacent one of the first lateral edges 2112 of each of the note sheets 211 is greater than 4mm.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate how the uppermost one of the note sheets 211 is removed from the stack 21 of the note sheets 211 through the sheet-access slot 231, and how the non-adhesive segment 2114 of the next sheet 211 under the upper most one of the note sheets 211 is pulled to move through the sheet-access slot 231 during removal of the uppermost one of the note sheets 211 and is subsequently seated on an adjacent one of the stretchable strips 232 so as to be spaced apart from the next note sheet 211 by a gap 20.
  • Said adjacent one of the stretchable strips 232 is stretched and is moved to an upper position (see Fig. 5 ) during removal of the uppermost one of the note sheets 211, and is subsequently restored elastically to a lower position (see Fig. 6 ) to abut resiliently against the next note sheet 211 upon removal of the uppermost one of the note sheets 211.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate the flexibility of the refillable sheet dispenser 2 of the first preferred embodiment in accommodating thin and thick stacks 21 of the note sheets 211 by virtue of the elastically stretchable property of the stretchable strips 232.
  • the stretchable strips 232 remain abutting resiliently against the uppermost one of the note sheets 211 when the thickness of the stack 21 of the note sheets 211 is gradually decreased during use. Since the stack 21 of the note sheets 211 is bound to the supporting base 22 by the loop members 200, replenishment of the note sheets 211, whether a thick or a thin stack, can be easily conducted.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates a preferred structure of each of the loop members 200.
  • Each of the loop members 200 has a core of a bundle of elastic filaments 235 and an elastic sheath 236 enclosing the core.
  • the elastic filaments 235 can be intertwisted to form a strip, thereby dispensing with the elastic sheath 236, or each of the loop members 200 includes only one elastic filament 235 enclosed in the elastic sheath 236.
  • the filaments 235 and the sheath 236 are made from natural rubber.
  • Table 1 shows variation in the length of each of the loop members 200 for binding the stacks 21 of the note sheets 211 that differ in thickness, i.e., having different numbers of the note sheets 211, and that are each in the form of a 3"x3" paper.
  • the size of the supporting base 22 is 86mm ⁇ 86mm ⁇ 2mm.
  • Table 1 Numbers of the note sheets 400 300 200 100 50 25 1 0 Thickness of the stack, mm 40 30 20 10 5 2.5 0.1 0
  • the results of Table 1 show that the loop member(s) 200, when given a suitable elasticity, is capable of reducing correspondingly in length when the layer thickness of the stack(s) 21 of the note sheets 211 is gradually decreased, thereby constantly providing a suitable retaining force for retaining firmly the stack(s) 21 of the note sheets 211 on the supporting base 22 as well as for easy removal of the note sheets 211 from the supporting base 22.
  • Fig. 10 illustrates the second preferred embodiment of the refillable sheet dispenser 2 according to this invention.
  • the second preferred embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that each of the second lateral sides 221 of the supporting base 22 is formed with two retaining notches 225.
