Description

  The present invention relates to a notebook in which horizontally long daily entry fields for one week are arranged vertically and a time scale is entered in each daily entry field.

  There have been proposed notebooks with various configurations that allow you to write a schedule. Depending on the user of the notebook, there may be many categories of items to be written, such as work schedules, family schedules, and even their own schedules. In particular, when there are a wide variety of jobs and it is necessary to write the schedules of those jobs in duplicate in time, for example, a schedule of contacting the other company during the work (such as a telephone call) may be written. Housewives with work may also need to write their own schedules as well as work and family and children.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a schedule table in which time can be entered in a daily entry column (see FIG. 4). In this schedule table, the date and day (1) are arranged in the vertical direction at the left end, and a 24-hour time zone (2) extending rightward along the upper edge of this table is provided. ) Is a schedule table in which two schedule auxiliary lines (3, 4) are arranged per day in parallel with this time zone (2) and can be entered in the upper and lower two columns. In this case, you can form two columns in the upper and lower columns for each day, and the upper row can be used to schedule, for example, appointments with other people such as work relationships, and the lower row can be filled with items for scheduling your own action schedule. (Paragraph 0015).

  Also, here, in the entry column for each day, a time auxiliary line (5) extending downward from a position corresponding to the time of the time zone (2) on the upper edge of the page is provided, and this auxiliary line (5) is used as a meditation. It is described that the scheduled time is written in a dark line at positions on the schedule auxiliary lines 3 and 4 corresponding to the scheduled time (paragraphs 0011 and 0015).

  In Patent Document 2, a scale for 12 hours a day is added to the upper and lower (or left and right) daily dividing lines in the horizontal (or vertical) long daily entry column, and the upper (or left) dividing line There is disclosed a schedule that allows entry for 12 hours from morning to evening in the lower part (right side) and entry for 12 hours from evening to the next day in the lower part (right). That is, the upper half (left half) of the entry field is filled with the schedule from the morning of the day to the evening, and the lower half (right half) of the same day is written from the evening of the same day to the morning of the next day.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-19369 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-158469

  The one disclosed in Patent Document 1 has two auxiliary lines per day in the daily entry column to form two entry spaces in the daily entry column. For those who are busy with work such as a company or work at home, the time schedule of the entry is easily confused. In this case, there is a problem that the schedule is difficult to write and read. For example, when entering a daily entry column for one week on one page, the time described in the time zone (2) at the upper edge of this page is shown in order to clarify the time of the entry column for each day. Since the time auxiliary line has been extended to the entry field every day, this time auxiliary line has become a hindrance to entering the schedule, and there has also been a problem that it becomes difficult to complete.

  The document disclosed in Patent Document 2 is to enter the working time of the day (6 am to 6 pm) and the evening time (6 pm to 6 am the next day) separately on the top and bottom or left and right. However, there is a problem that when writing multiple types (several categories) of schedules such as work schedules and family schedules, the entries are complicated and difficult to confirm. In this case, the entry area is divided into the upper half (left half) for work, the lower half (right half) for home use, and the upper and lower (left and right) time scales from 6 am It is also possible to decide until 6pm. However, in this case, only two types of upper and lower (left and right) description areas can be secured, and there is a problem that it is not possible to divide into three or more categories.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can be clearly divided into three or more types (categories) without being confused, and indicates the time for traversing multiple entry fields every day. An object of the present invention is to provide a notebook having a diary column that eliminates the need for providing a time auxiliary line and facilitates entry.

  According to the present invention, the object is to arrange a weekly horizontal entry column on the left page in the vertical direction, and each day entry column has a diary column with a time scale in the longitudinal direction. It is a notebook, a plurality of dividing lines for dividing the entry column for each day in the left and right direction, a time scale attached to these dividing lines, and a plurality of divisions within the width of the entry column for each day. This is achieved by a notebook having a diary column, wherein the auxiliary line is marked at a position corresponding to the time scale.

  According to the present invention, since the plurality of auxiliary lines are provided in parallel with the dividing line for dividing each day within the width of the dividing line for each day sandwiched between the dividing lines for dividing each day, 3 It can be divided into the above-mentioned entry fields, and three or more types of schedules (for example, schedules for work, home, self, etc.) can be divided and entered in each entry field. This makes it possible to fill in these schedules neatly without confusion. In particular, even when these scheduled times overlap, it can be clearly divided and entered.

  Further, since these auxiliary lines are marked at positions corresponding to the time scales assigned to the dividing lines for dividing the day, it is not necessary to put auxiliary lines indicating the time for crossing the entry column every day. For this reason, the entry field is not divided by the time auxiliary line, and it becomes easy to write a schedule or the like.

The top view which shows one Example of this invention Enlarged view showing the daily entry fields that are part of the left page Plan view showing an example of use of this embodiment The figure which shows the well-known example currently disclosed by prior patent document 1

  If there are two auxiliary lines that sort the inside of the entry column for each day and the entry column for each day is divided into three lines, it is possible to enter the schedules of the three categories separately (claim 2). In this case, an entry column for one week can be set to 27 lines (3 rows × 7 days) for a normal vertically long notebook-sized page, and the width of the entry column can be made easy to enter. However, according to the present invention, the daily entry column may be divided into four or more lines according to the size of the notebook and the purpose of use.

  It is desirable that the auxiliary line is a thin and inconspicuous dotted line and a broken line than the partition line, and a mark attached to the auxiliary line is a small point provided at a position corresponding to the time scale. In this case, since the auxiliary lines and marks are inconspicuous, the auxiliary lines become inconspicuous when filling in the entry fields divided into a plurality of lines, and do not get in the way when entering a schedule or the like.

  On the right page, other auxiliary lines provided on the extension of the partition line and the auxiliary line on the left page are attached, and among these other auxiliary lines, the auxiliary line on the extension of the partition line is added to the day. If other auxiliary marks are attached at the same interval as the mark provided on the auxiliary line in the entry column, the schedule can be entered up to a time width exceeding the time width of the left page (for example, from 6 am to 10 pm). Therefore, it is convenient for a particularly busy person who needs to make a plan until late at night (claim 4). It should be noted that the other auxiliary lines attached here are inconspicuous colors, dotted lines, and broken lines as in the case of the partition line on the left page, and the other marks are preferably small points similar to the mark on the left page. In this case, the right page can also be used as a normal memo page, and the degree of freedom in selecting the method of use increases depending on the purpose of use of the notebook.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state in which a notebook according to the present invention is opened. A left page is a schedule entry page 10 for a user to fill in, and a right page is a memo page 12. These pages 10 and 12 are vertically long, and can be opened and closed left and right around the vertical binding portion 14. A tag indicating each month from January to December is provided on the side edge of the memo page 12, and a page of a desired month can be opened. In this embodiment, the page for the last week of March is opened.

  In the left page 10, seven daily entry fields 16 from Monday to Sunday that are long in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) are provided in parallel from top to bottom. That is, the daily entry column 16 is divided by horizontal dividing lines 18. Above the uppermost sorting line 18, a year name and a month name are written at the left end. These sorting lines 18 are obtained by arranging points along a straight line, and a time scale 20A from 6 o'clock to 21 o'clock is attached every 3 hours between the dot sequences, and every hour during each hour. Small dots (small black circles) 20B are equally spaced.

  In addition, between the scale 20A and the small point 20B for every hour, a smaller point is attached every 30 minutes. In the present invention, these time scales 20A and small points 20B and the smaller points that become marks every 30 minutes are also simply referred to as time scales 20 hereinafter. Note that the sorting line 18 and the time scale 20 are drawn with thin lines and small numbers, or are lightly colored, so that they are not conspicuous so as to prevent them from interfering when a schedule is entered.

  Each day entry field 16 partitioned by the sorting line 18 has a date 24 at the left end, a day of the week 26 below it, and an anniversary date. In each daily entry column 16, two auxiliary lines 28 are provided horizontally to separate the inside of the width vertically except for the vicinity of the left end. These auxiliary lines 28 are dotted lines in which small dots are arranged horizontally, and marks 30 made up of small dots are attached to these auxiliary lines 28 at positions corresponding to the lower side of the time scale 20A (see FIG. 2). These auxiliary lines 28 and marks 30 are drawn in a light color and not so conspicuous like the sorting lines 18. As a result, the width of each daily entry column 16 is divided into three lines by two auxiliary lines 28.

  The right page 12 is provided with other auxiliary lines 32 (32A, 32B) provided on the extension of the partition line 18 and the auxiliary line 28 of the left page 10. Of these other auxiliary lines 32, the auxiliary line 32A on the extension of the partition line 18 is the same as the auxiliary line 28 in the daily entry column 16. The auxiliary line 32B on the extension of the auxiliary line 28 is obtained by omitting the mark 30 indicating time, and the entire length is a dotted line or a broken line. Similar to the partition lines 18 and the auxiliary lines 28 in the daily entry column 16, these auxiliary lines 32 are drawn in a light color and not so noticeable.

  Next, a usage example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. “01 January 2015” (“3 March 2015” in FIGS. 1 and 2) and the year and month are entered on the left side of the schedule entry page 10 along the outside of the daily entry field 16. Using space 1 (black circle 1), you can write your goal for one week (for example, the goal of “Summarizing business talks for company K!”). In the space 2 (black circle 2) of the daily entry column 16 at the top (Monday), the event of the day is displayed in the space on the left side of the auxiliary line 28, and the entry line of three lines separated by the auxiliary line 28 is used. Fill out the schedule in different categories.

  For example, the upper row shows the company's schedule, the middle row shows the schedule with business partners (Company C, Company K, etc.), and the lower row shows their own personal schedule (synchronization meeting, class meeting, etc.) Decide to fill in. The user can freely decide the classification of the categories to be entered in each line. At this time, the scheduled time is marked with a circle at the start and end times of the schedule using the time marks 20A and marks 20B, 30 attached to the upper and lower daily dividing lines 18 and auxiliary lines 28, respectively. It can be made easier to see by connecting with a dark solid line.

  Conventionally, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the daily entry field is divided by the schedule auxiliary line (3), and this entry field is further divided by another schedule auxiliary line (4) to fill in two lines. There is a notebook with columns. However, in this conventional system, there is no mark that serves as a measure of time on the schedule auxiliary lines (3, 4). For this reason, a time auxiliary line (5) extending downward from a position corresponding to the time of the time zone (2) provided separately at the upper edge of the page is provided. Without this time auxiliary line (5), it is difficult to accurately write the scheduled time for each day, and when this time auxiliary line (5) is present, it becomes an obstacle to filling in the entry field. On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present application, such inconvenience is eliminated.

  Further, in this embodiment, there is another auxiliary line 32 on the right page 12, and the auxiliary line 32A on the extension of the partition line 18 has a mark indicating time. It is possible to write a schedule that cannot be written to (space 3 (black circle 3) in FIG. 3). That is, by using this right page 12, it is possible to write a schedule for 24 hours.

  In this vacant space 4 (black circle 4) on the right page 12, notes relating to the schedule written on the left page 10 can be freely written. Further, as is clear from FIG. 1, since a space 5 (black circle 5) is provided as a blank at the bottom of the left page 10 and is continuous at the bottom of the right page 12, reflection of the action for one week and the achievement of the schedule. You can enter the next week's assignments, themes, etc. here. That is, this space 5 (black circle 5) can be used to write a review item for one week, which is convenient.
