Abstract

A notebook 1 has front cover 3 and back cover 4 jointed by a spiral fastening 5 to retain paper sheets 8. On the inside of the front cover 3 is a calculator 2 with touch pad 10 and solar powered LCD 12. Because the LCD 12 is solar powered, the calculator 2 switches on when the notebook is opened.

Description

NOTEBOOK
The invention relates to a note book.
5 When writing notes in a notebook, it is often necessary to also use a calculator.
It is an object of the invention to simplify the process of using a notebook and a calculator at the same lo time.
Accordingly, the invention provides a notebook having a calculator mounted therein.
15 Having a calculator mounted inside the notebook means that a calculator will always be present whenever the notebook is being used.
Preferably, the calculator is such that it switches on 20 when the notebook opens, and switches off when the notebook closes. Such an arrangement is convenient, and prevents the calculator from being left switched on when the notebook is 25 closed, and therefore not being used.
For a better understanding of the invention, a specific embodiment will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which: Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a notebook according to the invention in its closed position; and
Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the notebook of Fig. 1 in its open position.
The notebook shown in Figs. 1 and 2 has mounted therein 5 a calculator 2.
The notebook 1 comprises a front cover 3 and a back cover 4, the two covers 3, 4 being joined together along one edge by a spiral fastening 5, each turn 6 of which passes 10 through a pair of aligned holes 7 in the two covers 3, 4.
The notebook also comprises a plurality of sheets of paper 8, sandwiched between the two covers 3,4. Each of the sheets of paper 8 is provided with a plurality of holes 9 along one edge, each hole 9 being aligned with the 15 corresponding hole 9 in the other sheets 8, so that each turn 6 of the spiral fastening 5 passes through a set of aligned holes 9.
On the inside of the front cover 3 of the notebook 1 is 20 a calculator 2. The calculator 2 comprises a touch pad 10 having thereon various mathematical symbols 11 and a solar powered LCD 12. Because the LCD 12 is solar powered, the calculator 2 switches on when the notebook 1 is opened, and switches off when, or soon after, the notebook 1 is closed.
25 The calculator 2 has a life span of 500 hours.
