. DESK-PAID.

To all whomz'tmay concern: Be it knownthat I, MrLroN VVEINMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago,1in the county of Cook and State oflllinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Desk-Pads, of which the following in a specification.

This invention relates to desk pads and hasffor its object to provide a new and im proveddevice of this description; The ordinary deskpad as now used consists a calendar with a sheet for each day, the sheet being provided with space for making notes,

of things are to be done or remembered and memoranda of various kind. With a desk pad of this description it is now necessary 1n case the notes represent unfinished business ori memoranda otany kind that must be carried over, to rewritethese notes each day upon the succeeding sheet. Thls req hires extra work and is exceedingly in convenient.

One of the objects ofniy invention to provide a desk pad wherein it is unnecessary torewrite the various notes and memoranda, such notes wh'en once written remaining on thepad and in view until the matters to which they relatehave beenfinished, whereupon the portion of the pad containing that can be torn oil so that new menioranda can be placed upon the pad.

Other objects of the invention are set forth in the following description and claimed in the claims hereto appended.

Referring to the-accompanyingdrawing,

neathl piece, and the paper sheets, and enter screw The sheets'of paper are preferably perforated at 10 so that the various sections may be easily and quickly torn oli when desired.- i

1 lVhcn the pad is in uselthe sheets of paper placed in position and then the device placedon the desk or other place where it is to he used. The incline ofthe upper face ofthe base and of the paper-sheets Specification of ietters Patent. Patented N0 v. 2%, 1 921 makes it easy to read the variousnotes on i i the 1 several sections.

Any desired memoranda can be placed on the'var ous sections of the pad. Things that are related he placed onthe samesection. WVhen the rnemoranda on any sheet becomes obsolete, that sheet is torn off and new 'meinoranda placed on the sheet under- Tt will thusbe seen that itis not necessary untilthey become obsolete, and then the top sheets or the sections torn ofi. As any one note ecoines obsol te it c'anbe canceled by running a pen or pencilthrough it. it will thus be seen that I have here. a desk pad to rewrite the n enioranda each day, but that the notes can be left on the various sections which avoidsthe rewriting of the memoranda eachgday, which. permits the classi- ,ii cation ofmemoranda and which is a con- 3 venientand labor saving and efiicient dei vice. d v

The base l is higher at one. end than at the other and'fis provided wth an inclined iace upon winch the sheets of paper are piaced so as to alwayswbein an inclined position, and there is an extension connected with said face in alinenient'with the sheets' of paper and, which carries a sectional calendar or" any su table kind. It will thus be seen that the'used memoranda can be removed by removing the sectionsof the sheets of paper and'that this removal is independ ent of the calendar.

lidesired one of the sections can be used as calendar having the days of the month arked thereon in'the usual manner, and a sheet from this section can be torn ofleach day without in any manner interfering with the niernoradna on the other sections.

I The base can be used over and over again as itis only necessary when the desired number of sections of the sheets have been used, to remove what remains and place another series of sheets in position on such base. The base will therefore last indefi-I' nitely The sheets maybe dividedintoaections in any desired mannerbut I preferto have the paper entirely severed at the meet 1 lar construction shown.

Ming edges ofthe-sections so that they, can be more easily' removed. As illustrated in Figs. 1' and 2 there is shown an extension;

connected ith thebase and in alinement With the sheets, which extension carries; a sectional calendar, the sections of Which as illustrated represent one month.

I have described in detail a'particaular construction embodying the invention,'but it is of course evident that the parts may be varied in many particulars without departing from the spirit of the invention as embodied in the claims hereto attached, and I therefore do not limit myself to the particu- I claim LA desk pad'comprising a base havinga portion which is supportedby the desk, said basebeing higher at one .end than at the other and having an upper inclined face,

I a plurality of sheets of paper carried by said-base and resting upon said inclined face so that one end of said sheets is lower than the other end, each sheet being divided into i r a series of sections upon which 'memoranda jmay be placed, a holding piece: of rigid material'on the top of said sheets and at one edge-thereof and covering a small portion of said sheets, said holding piece removably holding the edges of said plurality of sheets of paper in position on SitlCl' base, the material of the said sections being perforated substantially in 'alinement With-the edgeof said holding pi'eceso that the sections may be separately and independently removed of'said sheets of paper being removable While the holding piece is in position, an extension connected With; said base and in alinement With said sheets, said extension carrying a sectional calendar, the sections independent of said calendar.
