Abstract:
A modular notebook system includes a cover having a plurality of surfaces. The system also includes a binding coupled to the plurality of surfaces via a flexible and/or foldable material. The binding forms a magnetic spine by having at least one magnetic pad configured to receive a magnetically attractive binding element.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a novel notebook system in which stacks of one-side-bound inner paper sheets are replaced, wherein a plurality of pockets are formed at a plurality of positions in an inner face of an outermost cover sheet, a first or last paper sheet of the stack of one-side-bound inner paper sheets is removably inserted into the pocket selected by the user, and, therefore, the handwriting direction or position may be freely changed according to the user's selection. According to the present disclosure, the user can freely change the position of the stack of one-side-bound inner paper sheets, and thus can make notes or handwriting in a convenient way. When the stack of one-side-bound inner paper sheets are completely used, the stack may be replaced with a new stack of one-side-bound inner paper sheets, which can save money and waste material.
Abstract:
Devices and methods are described that can allow or are configured to allow a user to attach and remove or interchange different stationery articles to a binding mechanism, for example, a substantially cylindrical binding mechanism.
Abstract:
An ordered stack of bound sheets may comprise a set of printed product information sheets. An individual bound sheet may comprise a single printed product information sheet or may comprise a plurality of printed product information sheets. Each of the individual printed product information sheets may be detached from the ordered stack of bound sheets in the order in which the printed product information sheets are presented. The individual printed product information sheets (which are detached from the ordered stack in order) may be connected to structures in the stores based on a planogram for a set of products for display in the store. The order of the printed product information sheets may match an order in which the sheets are positioned based on the planogram.
Abstract:
A binding system for binding a set of media sheets, including first and second binder pieces, each including an end cap, a retainer, a cylinder and a connection mechanism. The retainer has an arc-shaped cross-section having an associated arc angle thereby providing an opening slot that extends along a length of the retainer. The retainer and the cylinder are connected to the end cap such that the cylinder is positioned within the retainer. The binder pieces are adapted to bind the set of sheets of media by inserting the set of media sheets into the first and second binder pieces such that the media sheets are wrapped around the cylinders and extend out of the opening slots in the retainers, and engaging the connection mechanisms to connect the first and second binder pieces together.
Abstract:
Sheets are bound to form a bound document by fastening together the sheets and a binding strip. A spacer is applied to a back sheet adjacent to the feet of the fasteners. A wraparound portion of the binding strip is folded around the spine edges of the sheets so that adhesive on the strip contacts the spacer or the back sheet farther from the spine than the feet of the fasteners. The adhesive is affixed to the back sheet. The binding strip includes a spacer adjacent to the heads of the fasteners, protruding above the face-attachment portion at least as far as the heads of the fasteners do.
Abstract:
A bound document has front, back, and interior sheets with spine edges. The document has a binding strip and fasteners binding the sheets and the binding strip together. The strip has a flexible substrate with a face-attachment portion through which the fasteners are driven, and a wraparound portion that is bent so adhesive on the wraparound portion contacts the back sheet farther from the spine edge of the book than the feet of the fasteners. The strip also has a first spacer affixed to the interior surface opposite the face-attachment portion so that a fastener area is defined, the spacer at least as thick as the protrusion of the heads of the fasteners above the face-attachment portion.
Abstract:
A sheet stock having a flexible hinge area is described. The sheet stock includes a substrate having an opening and gap stiffener, and a flexible film covering the opening and defining a flexible hinge area in the region of the opening and gap stiffener covered by the film. Methods for producing sheet stock having a flexible hinge area are also described. The sheet stock may be used in printing, binding, and in other applications.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to a file note device for use with a file or stack of sheets bound together by way of one or more binding members disposed through substantially aligned apertures in the sheets, the file note device comprising a planar body including a note zone; and an engagement zone located adjacent an edge portion of the planar body. The engagement zone comprises at least one pair of spaced apart teeth defining a binding member recess therebetween, wherein at least one tooth defines a retaining formation for removably retaining the binding member in the binding member recess, in use. It will be noted that the invention also relates to a bound file comprising one or more file note file note devices in accordance with the invention and a method of providing a note on a file or stack of bound sheets.
Abstract:
A note taking binder gives the user the ability to take notes while dealing neither with the cumbersome tablet PC interface, nor with the fear of running out of battery life. The notes taken with the note taking binder can be photographed more easily than standard pencil and paper notes due to the thickness of the dry erase pages that make up the binder. The pages can also be erased more easily so that the pages can be reused numerous times. This gives the user practically all the benefits of taking and storing notes digitally on his or her digital device of choice. The binder is better than taking notes on a digital device because the notes can be taken and remain visible for extended periods of time without fear of battery depletion. Moreover, the binder allows the user to erase individual characters or diagrams as they are writing.
