WRITING PAD Filed May 12, 1943 Patented Oct. 3, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WRITING PAD Ervin G. Johnson, Eureka, Calif.
Application May 12, 1943, Serial No. 486,692
1 Claim.
This invention relates to stationery, that is, to a pad of note paper, and is an improvement upon the construction shown and described in my copending application Ser. No. 196,195, filed March 16, 1938, now Patent No. 2,342,348, issued February 22, 1944, of which this application is a continuation in part.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a pad of paper such that a limited number, as one, sheet thereof only, has freedom to hinge upon the rest of the pad, with the consequent advantage that the remainder of the sheets remain intact, do not dog-ear, and that the pad retains the character of a package of paper until the entire pad is used up.
Other objects and advantages will appear upon reference to the specification wherein characters of reference are directed to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is an isometric view of a pad incorporating the principlesof my invention; and
Figure 2 shows the relationship of two superimposed sheets of the pad of Fig. 1.
The pad may be considered to comprise superimposed groups of two sheets of paper, 2 and 4, in each group. The groups are assembled into a pad, such as shown in Fig. 1, and the pad is bound at both ends, as with binding 6, and staples 8, the staples forming the staple passages l through both ends of each sheet.
Each sheet is longitudinally slit partway across, as at [2, near one end, so as to leave only narrow connections as at l4. The binding staples 8 take effect between the slit and the nearest end of the pad. The dot and dash lines in Figure 2 show the projection of the slitted portions of each sheet of a group on the adjacent sheet of that group or the adjacent group. As before related, several groups are padded together by the staples 8, or equivalent, a suitable backing of cardboard 16 being provided if desired; without slitting the latter, however.
After such assembly, the side edges l8 are trimmed off, if desired, so as to remove the connections l4, and thus leave each sheet slit all of the way across. In practice, the sheets are made very long, the slits corresponding, and the binding is effected along the long edges. After binding, the assembly is cut into several pads, so that the trim is wasted only as to the ends of the long sheets, thereby effecting considerable economy.
In addition to the foregoing improvement, it is desirable to perforate or weaken each sheet individually near the end opposite the slitted end, as at 20, the line of weakness defining a stub portion 22 for each sheet. This stub portion overlies the slit portion of the adjacent sheets of the pad; thus confining, in a degree, the end edge of an intervening usable portion of a sheet between a stub portion remaining from a removed sheet and the underlying sheet. The end edge so confined is formed by the slit I 2. The intervening usable portion of a sheet is the portion between slit l2 and line of weakness 20.
Accordingly, the stub portions hold the free or slit edges of the usable portions down until the user desires to push them free, as by a slight rubbing action away from the stub.
I claim:
A writing pad comprising a plurality of sheets of paper of rectangular contour, each sheet havin a stub portion and a body portion divisible along a weakened severance line, the sheets being arranged to form a stack of sheets with alternate sheets in the stack arranged with the. stub portions at opposite ends of the stack and the ends of intervening sheets lying between stub portions of adjacent sheets, and means binding the adjacent stub portions only together to retain the ends of the intervening sheets.
ERVIN G. JOHNSON.
