To all whom it ma concern:

Be it known that HUGH E. Snnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Calendars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in calendars.

In my Patent No. 1,291,19 I have disclosed a calendar so constructed as to provide means whereby when the sheets con-- taining the data concerning any particular month could be turned back to expose the opposite side of the sheet containing memoranda, and a pocket to receive and'inclose such used sheets. The construction furthermore provided means whereby at the end of the year-when the calendars usefulness is.

over, the sheets were so arranged that they could be preserved inbook form for future reference.

My present invention aims to improve theconstruction heretofore covered, in that means are provided for conveniently folding the used sheets and retaining same in a pocket, improved means being provlded for securm the sheets in the pocket.

calendar.

. Fig. 5 is a detail section of the securing of i the cal- The numeral 1, indicates a base preferably made of cardboard, scored on the lines 2, and 3, to afford convenience in folding. The

ortion of the base beyond the score line 3, orms a flap 4, adapted to be folded over the main portion of the bod 1, and is provided with-an opening 5. T e body ortion 1, is provided with an opening 6, w ich is 7, and the flap 4' is then fol 1n alinement with an openin 5, when the flap 1s folded down on the ody portion, and vertically straddling the opening 6, is a loop 7. Y The loop is formed of a single piece of metal, arched at its center at 8, and forms a projection. From the .ends of the arched portion extend legs 9 which are forced through the base 1, and their termif nals are bent over at 10 and clenched to provide a means for holding the projecting 102p 1n fixed position on the base.

. plurality of sheets-indicated at 11, and folded at their centers as at 12, are secured to the base 1, the folds being securedto the base bystaples 13, along thescore line 2, thereby forming a hinged connection be tween the sheets directly below the lower edge of the flap 4, as shown in Fig. 1. The sheets 1 l are formed with alined openings 14:, and in allnement with these openings there is formed in the base 1, an opening 15.

The openings 1415 and the opening 6, in the base 1 are spaced equal distance from the score line 2, so that when a sheet is turned on its hinge, its openin 14, will fit over the loop 7, and register wlth the openm 5 in the flap.

l'Dach sheet when folded forms two separate calendar sheets, and on the front surface of each is printed the month, the day and date, while on the rear surface of said sheet are lines, numbers and characters, to indicate the dates of the month re resented on the front side, to note memoran a in connection with events happening during the month. When in use the various sheets re resentmg the months are folded to ban own on the base portion 1, and when fol ed'up the opening or openings 14 engage over the loop ed on the score line 3 and incloses the used sheet, or sheets A locking device, preferably a pencil for convenience is passed through the arched port1on of the loop-as shown in Fig; 1, which holds the flap in position and confines the used sheets in the pocket formed by the flap and the base portion. By using the pencil as a locking means, it is always handy to make notes on the rear of a used sheet, and at the same time it affords a means to secure the flap and retain the used sheets in position and prevents them falling After the calendar year is over and all of the sheets are used, and in order to preserve the memoranda made durin the year, the

lower portion 17 of the base is folded onthe score line 2, and the opening 15 engages over the loop 7 and incloses the used sheets. Then the flap 4 is folded over the flap portion 17, and the opening 5 engages over the loop 7, and the pencil serves as a means to lock the sheets in book form as shown in Fig. 3.

What I clairfeis:

1. A calendar comprisin a base provided with a loop projection, a plurality of leaves hinged to the base, and formed with openings to engage over said projection when the leaves are in one position on the base, and

'means extending through the loop projection and bearing beyond the same on the leaves essence I fitted over said projection to hold the leaves against displacement. I t

2. A calendar comprising a base, a plurality of leaves connected to the base, a secun ing loop carried by the base above the connection of the leaves thereto, said leaves being formed with openings to engage over said loop when the leaves are turned upwardly on the base, and a member to be extended through the loop and bear on the leaves in both directions beyond the same, the loop having such a dimension in one direction as to alone provide for sup orting said means tl'fitlfiSVGTSB the leaves an in contact there- Wit In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
