4 Claims.

My invention relates to improvements in calendar pads and itmore especially consists in the features pointed out in the claims.

The purpose of my invention is to provide a simpliiied calendar pad which may be stocked by dealers without accumulating any out-of-date goods; that by reason of its availability. for any day of any week of any month in any year it serves a vital economic purpose; that is selfcontained, requiring no accessories of any kind; that requires no complicated instructions forV its eiective use; that combines any desired form of supporting or backing which projects from beneath the edges of the assembled calendar sheets;

N that has one of the projections positioned adjacent the edge of the consecutively numbered 3l sheets of the pad on which the names of the week days are printed in register from sheet to sheet and progressing from day to day from sheet to sheet; that may have the twelve months of a year imprinted along another edge of the sheets in duplicate and in register from sheet to sheet or the twelve months may be printed on the adjacent projection instead; that by reason of the projections pencil marks or other indications can be made thereon adjacent a selected month and adjacent a day of the week of the first sheet corresponding to the first day of the selected month; and if desired the pad may have a supporting flap attached. for insertion in a holder in case it is specifically applied to pocket use.

The prime purpose is that the pad can be brought into use at any time by making a pencil or other indication on the projections of supporting back opposite the week day that corresponds to the rst day of a selected month and then making another indication on the projection at the desired month.

With these and other ends in view I illustrate on the accompanying drawing such instances of adaptation as will disclose the broad underlying features without limiting myself to the specific details shown thereon and described herein.

Figure l is a front view of a completed pad removed from a pocket holder, showing alongside a modification of the position of the names of the month.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing a pad when used with supporting iiap.

Fig. 3 is a side view similar to Fig. 2 showing a modified flap.

Fig. 4 is an inside elevation of a pocket holder.

Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing the numbered corners of some of the successive sheets.

In marketing my device I may use whatever alternatives or equivalents of construction that varying conditions of use may demand without departing from the broad spirit of the invention,

192.1. serial No. 572,104

(ol. 28s-'2) In one exemplication a backing or supporting sheet l may have a folded iiap 2 which. can be arranged as shown in Fig-2 with thestaples 3 passing through the flap or as shownin Fig. 3 without the staples passing through it. The sheets 4 comprising the calendar are held on the back by staples 3 or otherwise. They may be assembled as separate loose sheets on any desired support.

The sheets are consecutively numbered from 1 to 31 inclusive and each sheet along one edge has im rinted the seven days of a week consecutively arranged on each sheet and progressively staggered but in register with each other.' from sheet to sheet adjacent the plain projecting nedge 5 of the support 1. The support or separate backing sheet 1 projects at 6 from beneath the assembled sheets. It may have printed thereon the twelve months of a year consecutively from January toDecember inclusive or the months as stated may be printed in duplicate on the sheets and in register from sheet to sheet.

In putting the pad into use for, say, September 1931 a pencil cross or other indication is made on the margin 6 adjacent September and another pencil cross or other mark is made on the margin 5 opposite the day of the week found on the iirst sheet which corresponds to the first day of the selected month, viz., Tuesday, as shown in Fig. 1.

It is immaterial to what speciiic use my pads may be put. Desk pads, appointment pads, eX- pense accounts, and wall calendars, are only a few of the practical adaptations.

The pads are made up as monthly units each and they may have a blank space with the legend Year printed on each sheet. As the pads are only about #-0 inch thick the uncertainties of parallax do not enter Vinto an observation of the marks made at the selected month and the week day indication.

The holder may be of any desired style. A slit 8 is formed on the inside lining of one half of the holder 7 instanced in the drawing to receive the ap 2. The holder may fold onto itself and have various pockets in the left hand portion or if desired another slit 8 may be formed on the left hand side in order to at one time carry two pads to serve the current month on the left half and the following month on the right half of the holder. Such an arrangement doubles the usefulness of the pad, as in many instances it is vitally necessary to note data a month ahead. When each month is used the pads may be filed in any suitable manner for future reference.

It is of course obvious that instead of a pocket holder a desk stand may be substituted and a unit pad secured thereon in any desired manner by any well known ring or snap fasteners (not shown).

What I claim is:

1. In calendar pads, a plurality of sheets consecutively numbered from 1 to 31 inclusive each sheet having printed alongside one edge the seven days of a week in register with each other from sheet to sheet and in consecutive advancing order from sheet to sheet, a support on which the sheets are assembled said support projecting from beneath the sheets adjacent the names of the days of the week, and also projecting adjacent another edge of the sheets on which edge indicia representing the twelve months of a year are imprinted both projecting edges adapted to receive pencil or other indications adjacent a selected month, and adjacent the day of the week corresponding to the first day of the selected month.

2. In calendar pads, a plurality of separate sheets consecutively numbered and assembled to present the numerals in sequence from the top downward each sheet having printed near one edge the seven days of the week in consecutive order advancing from day to day in register with each other from sheet to sheet, a support for the assembled sheets projecting from beneath the assembled sheets adapted to receive markings indicating a selected month and the week day corresponding to the first day of the selected month, and means for holding the sheets assembled as a unit.

3. A unitary calendar pad, comprising a plurality of consecutively numbered sheets having the seven days of a week imprinted consecutively adjacent one edge of the sheets in register from sheet to sheet and in advancing order from sheet to sheet, a support for the sheets having margins that project from beneath the unit, and indicia representing the twelve months of a year grouped adjacent another edge of the sheets whereby indications may be made on the margin in association with a selected month and the week day of the rst sheet corresponding to the first day of the selected month.

4. A unitary calendar pad, comprising a plurality of consecutively numbered sheets having the seven days of a Week imprinted consecutively adjacent one edge of the sheets in register from sheet to sheet and in advancing order from sheet to sheet, an extra sheet having margins that project from beneath the unit, and indicia representing the twelve months of a year grouped adjacent another edge of the sheets whereby indications may be made on the margins of the extra sheet in association with a selected month and the week day of the rst sheet corresponding to the rst day of the selected month.
