Description

The present invention relates to a device comprising spaces

  daily and weekly allowing simultaneous reading of the notes written in a weekly space and in at least one daily space. The invention further relates to a method of

manufacture of such a device.

  French patent No. 1 093 060 describes a device for storing fixed information, useful indications and notes made over a specific period. Such a device is more particularly a pocket book allowing with the least pain and great certainty to record notes and to keep various information and indications. This device is made up of a pocket notebook fitted with a removable sheet assembly system, a certain number of loose sheets necessary for the period envisaged, under which are fixed sheets bearing information, sheets intended to receive notes and index sheets used to separate the sets of the various kinds of sheets, and in addition a special receptacle arranged to keep these sheets outside the pocket book. Some slips are daily slips and others are monthly slips. This device is such that one can removably join only a few daily sheets and a monthly sheet, while the receptacle can contain many daily sheets and monthly sheets. The purpose of this device is to allow the user to carry only a few sheets while the other sheets are contained in the receptacle. It therefore saves space and weight since the user takes only a few sheets into his book, while most of the sheets are kept in the receptacle. Such a device does not allow the simultaneous reading of a weekly sheet and daily sheets. In addition, this device has the drawback that the sheets are removable and are therefore liable to be lost. Finally, the device comprises a housing, which

  increases the manufacturing cost.

  French patent application No. 2 680 133 describes a notepad book with daily and weekly space for simultaneous reading. This system is made up of single sheets making up the daily space and double sheets making up the weekly space and the meeting space on the front, with various and variable general information on the back. In addition double sheets complete the set

  with an annual organization space.

  The notepad book includes: - a series of simple sheets making up the daily space; - a series of double sheets constituting the weekly space; - a series of double sheets constituting an annual space; - a series of double sheets with general information. The double sheets form shirts which, when folded in half, have a width greater than that of the single sheets. Each double sheet has the weekly space on the front and the back

the general information area.

  Such a device makes it possible to simultaneously read the weekly space when the double sheet constituting the weekly space is unfolded. This device is therefore impractical to use since it requires the folding of the weekly double sheet which when unfolded makes it possible to read the general information space. The present invention is clearly distinguished from the aforementioned patent applications by overcoming in particular the drawbacks mentioned above. The invention therefore aims to provide a device allowing the simultaneous reading of a weekly space and at least one daily space. The invention further aims to provide a method of manufacturing a device allowing the simultaneous reading of a weekly space and

at least one daily space.

  The invention therefore relates to a device comprising an assembly of sheets F 1, of dimensions L × H, joined along their median M, and of an assembly of sheets F2 of dimensions L × H / a, a which can vary between 2 and 4, for example being equal to 2, the leaves F2 being joined along their median, the leaves F1 forming, on one of their upper or lower part, the weekly space and on their other lower or upper part two daily spaces, the F2 sheets forming

daily spaces.

  Preferably, the sheets F1 form alternately on their upper parts and their lower parts the spaces = weeklyS and the sheets F2 are joined alternately to the sheets

  F1 in the lower and upper parts of the latter.

  More preferably, the sheets F1 relate to their lower and upper parts, alternately 7 columns for the 7 days of a week, a column to mention the name of the month, the number of the week, the monthly calendar of the current month, the legend of

  vacation as well as a space with various information.

  The device according to the invention is such that a sheet F1 carries on its lower part the first and the sixth daily spaces of a week and the following sheet F'l carries on its upper part the first

  and the sixth daily spaces for the following week.

  The sheets F2 carry the second, third, fourth and

fifth daily spaces.

  The weekly spaces are in column, while the daily spaces can be of various presentations and with multiple uses. The sheets F2 each bear on their front side the daily spaces of the second and fifth daily spaces, the back side comprising the daily spaces of the third and fourth

daily spaces.

  The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing such a device. The method of manufacturing such a book consists in performing a particular folding of a sheet of paper previously printed. This sheet F3 has the dimensions L3 = 2L and H3 = 2H, for example, but of

  preferably L3 = 79.8 cm on H3 = 54.8 cm.

  This sheet is folded over its entire length L3, longitudinally along a fold line P1 distant from H / a from the free edge of the sheet. An inverted fold is carried out with respect to the first along a fold line P2 distant from H / a from the other free edge of the sheet, in order to obtain a sheet folded in three. Then we fold, in rolled folds, along a fold line P3, parallel to H, which is the median of the sheet folded in three, to obtain a sheet folded in six, and we fold again the sheet folded in six according to ule fold line P4 which is the median of this sheet,

  to obtain a sheet folded in twelve.

  This sheet is then joined along the edge B4, for example by means of staples, a seam or by gluing. Then, cut along the edges B3, B5 and B6 to separate the sheets of the device which are

connected by edge B4.

  The following description, with reference to the drawings appended as

  limiting rDn examples will help to better understand how

  the invention can be put into practice.

  Figure 1 is a view of the device according to the present invention, in the open position; Figure la is a view of the device according to the present invention, the first half of the sheet F2 being about to be turned; Figure 2 is a view of the device according to Figure 1, the first half of the sheet F2 carrying the second and third daily spaces have been turned; Figure 3 is a view of the device of Figure 2, the second half of the sheet F2 carrying the fourth and fifth daily spaces having been turned; Figure 4 is a view of the alternate device of Figure 1, the

  second sheet F1 carrying the weekly space having been turned.

  Figure 4a is a view of the device according to Figure 4, the first half of the sheet F'2 being about to be turned; Figure 4b is a view of the device according to Figure 4, the first half of the sheet F'2 carrying the second and third daily spaces having been turned; Figure 4c is a view of the device according to Figure 4, the second half of the sheet F'2 carrying the fourth and fifth daily spaces having been turned; Figure 5 is a view illustrating the initial sheet F3 used to manufacture the device according to the invention; Figure 6 is a view illustrating the sheet F3 of Figure 5, after the two longitudinal folds P1 and P2; Figure 7 is a view illustrating the sheet of Figure 6, mentioning the location of the folds P3 and P4 Figure 7a is a view illustrating Figure 7, in perspective Figure 8 is a view illustrating the sheet of Figure 7, after a first folding = along the center line P3 Figure 9 is a view of the sheet of Figure 8 after a second folding along the center line P4 There is shown in Figure 1, a book according to the present invention, in the open position . This book has a height H and a width L in the open position. This book comprises an assembly of sheets F1 which are rectangular, of dimensions L × H. These sheets are joined by their median M. For example, they can be stapled or sewn according to their median M. The book according to the present invention further comprises rectangular F2 sheets, dimensions W x H / a. a which can vary from 2 to 4, for example a is equal to 2. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sheets F2 are therefore half the dimensions of the sheets F1. The sheets F1 and F2 can be rectangular, but they can possibly be square, namely H = LU2. We also mentioned that H is greater than LU2, but we can predict that H is less than L / 2. Therefore, F1 sheets can have any dimensions, but F2 sheets have a

dimension of L x H / a.

  According to the invention, the sheets F1 form alternately on their lower parts and their upper parts two daily spaces,

  while the sheets F2 form only daily spaces.

  Thus, in Figure 1, we see that the sheet F1 has on its lower part on one side of the median M, the space of the first daily space, while in Figure 3, we see that the sheet F1 has on its lower part, on the other side of the median M, the space of the

sixth daily space.

  As can be seen in the Figures, the sheets F1 form alternately on their upper parts and their lower parts the weekly spaces. Thus, the sheet F1 represented in Figures 1 to 3 forms on its upper part the weekly spaces Eh which are in columns and which are eight in number, corresponding to the days of the week and a column for mentioning the name of the month, the number of the week, monthly calendar of the current month, holiday legend and various other information. The following sheet F'1 shown in Figures 4 and 4a forms on its lower part the weekly spaces E'h of the following week. The sheet F1 forms on its lower part the first and the sixth daily space, while the sheet F'1 following the sheet F1 carries on its upper part the first and the sixth daily space of the following week. Likewise, the sheet F "1 (not shown) following the sheet F'1 will bear on its lower part the first and sixth daily spaces. The sheets F1 bear on their lower and upper parts,

  alternately, the first and sixth daily spaces.

  The sheets F2 carry the second, third, fourth and fifth daily spaces. As can be seen in the Figures, the weekly spaces are in columns, while

  each daily space occupies a page.

  The sheets F2 each bear on a front side and a back side two daily spaces, the second and fifth daily spaces being located on the front side while the third and the

  fourth day areas are located on the back side.

  The method of manufacturing the device according to the present invention

  is described in more detail with reference to Figures 5 to 9.

  This process is such that one performs a folding of a sheet F3 pre-

  printed like that shown in Figure 5. This sheet has a width of 2L and a height of 2H. After having been folded four times, according to the folding lines from P1 to P4, this sheet forms sheets F1 of width L / 2, in closed book position, and of height H and sheets F2 of width U2, - in closed book position , and of height H / a, a being

  between 2 and 4, for example equal to 2.

  First, a fold is made along a fold line P1 which is parallel to the longitudinal free edge B1 of the sheet F3. This fold is done

according to Arrow FL1.

  Then a second fold is made along a fold line P2 which is parallel to the longitudinal free edge B2 opposite B1, of the sheet F3. This fold is made according to arrow FL2, in the opposite direction to the direction of arrow FL1. We then obtain the sheet shown in Figure 6 which is

folded in three.

  Thirdly, a folding is carried out along a folding line P3 which is the median of the sheet folded previously in three. We

obtains a sheet folded in six.

  Fourthly, a folding is carried out along a folding line P4 which is on the median of the sheet previously folded in six. A sheet folded in twelve is then obtained, which has two vertical edges B3 and B4 obtained by folding on the fold lines P3 and P4 and two horizontal edges B5 and B6 obtained by the fold lines P1 and P2. To form a book, it is enough to assemble several sheets folded in twelve and to secure it by sewing, staples or by gluing, along edge B4. Then cut the edges along the edges B3, B5 and B6 to separate the sheets from the book. A book is thus obtained by assembling sheets FI at the heart of which sheets F2 are inserted alternately in a lower or upper position relative to the

leaves Fl.

  It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the

  description above of one of its embodiments, capable of

  undergo a certain number of modifications, in particular in the printed information desired by the different users, without however departing from the scope of the invention in the field of

  organization and time management.
