CALENDAR Application filed April 9,

Our invention relates to improvements in calendars and particularly that type of wall calendar wherein there is provided a series of leaves folded upon themselves and form- 5 mg a pad, the leaves being so arranged that when one leaf is turned it exposes a monthly calendar and at the same time provides a memorandum pad. In certain of calendars of this type which are now on the market there is provided a pad the leaves of which are adapted to be folded upwardly to expose a calendar for a month and at the same time provide a memorandum. The upper portion of the pad is generally provided with a cover sheet on which is displayed suitable advertising matter. One of the objections to this type of pad has been found to be that the user will not bother to raise the cover sheet each time the pad is changed and as a result the cover sheet is hidden by the turned up sheets, thereby destroying the advertising value of the calendar.

It is one of the objects of our invention to provide a calendar of this character whereby the sheets may be unfolded to provide not only the monthly calendar sheet, but the memorandum pad, and at the same time unfolded in such a manner as to insure the display of the advertising carried on the cover sheet.

In the embodiment of our invention illus- V trated, in the accompanying drawings- Fig. 1 is a front elevation partly in section, of a pad embodying our invention;

Fig. 2 is an end view showing the pad folded in its normal and delivery position;

Fig. 3 is an end view showing certain of the sheets turned down;

Fig. 4: is a detail sectional view showing the securing eyelet and associated sheets, and

Fig. 5 is a detail front elevation, showing the manner of securing the pad sheets.

In the structure illustrated we provide a backing sheet 1 which may be formed of relatively heavy paper and is generally scored or creased along the center at the point 2 so that the pad may be folded into book form. This backing forms a support for the calendar pad which is made up of a series of leaves 3 which are secured intermediate of their ends 1928. Serial No. 268,432.

to the backing sheet by means'of staples 4. Eachof the pad sheets aboveand below the fold line has printed on one face a monthly calendar and on the opposite face memorandum data. The sheets are adapted to be folded at a central point as in a book formation and their free ends are secured to the backing sheet by an eyelet 7 which passes through the edges of the backing sheet and the pad sheets and provides an eyelet by which the pad may be hung from a nail. That portion of each sheet surrounding the eyelet is perforated as at 8 to permit the sheet to be readily disengaged from the eyelet and turned down.

The entire pad is provided with a cover sheet 9 which may be secured by a folded rib of metal 10 to the backing sheet. This cover sheet in use may be doubled upon itself to form a pocket 11. When the pad is initially delivered all of the sheets are folded in book form, the calendar sheets being secured in this folded position by means of the eyelet. lVhen the calendar is hung the backing sheet hangs straight down and the first sheet is released from the eyelet by tearing at the perforated points. This permits the first sheet'to unfold and drop down, exposing the first month of the year and leaving exposed on the back of the next succeeding sheet the memorandum data 5, which data, however, is protected and covered by the cover sheet 9. In this manner the cover sheet may never be hidden by the folding of the pad in use and the advertising value v of the calendar is maintained.

We claim as our invention:

1. A calendar comprising a plurality of calendar sheets secured together intermediate of their upper and lower edges in book leaf form, a fastener securing the free edges of said calendar sheets together, said sheets being perforated around said fastener to permit the same to be torn free therefrom and a cover sheet secured at its upper edge to the.

calendar sheets and having its opposite edge free, said cover sheet being adapted to overlie the upper half of the calendar sheets when the same are unfolded.

2. A calendar comprising a plurality of sheets folded at an intermediate line to one side of the middle, a back, fastening means securing the wider sections of the folded sheets to the back along a line parallel with the fold line, a cover sheet overlying the group of folded sheets, and an eyelet passed through and securing together the back sheet, the edges of the entire group of folded sheets and; the cover. sheet, the narrower section of each of the folded sheets being weakened along a tear line embracing the eyelet.

In Witness whereof, we have hereunto set out hands at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 6th day of April, A. D. one thousand nine humdred and twenty-eight.
