Abstract
A stack of sheets bound on one end and supported by a backing sheet with dimensions of at least 25.5 by 33 inches. Individual sheets are removed from the bound stack of sheets with a horizontal microperfed line. Further, each sheet can be divided into nine 8.5 by 11 inch subsections using lines of weakening within the paper sheet whereby each 8.5 by 11 inch subsection can be easily folded or loaded into a copier, printer, scanner or shredder.
Claims25
A stack of sheets comprising:
- a plurality of paper sheets with dimensions of at least 25.5 by 33 inches each having a top surface which is flat, a bottom surface which is flat, a free end, two sides and a bound end;
- and
- a backing for supporting the paper sheets;
- and
- a means for securing the paper sheets and the backing together to form the bound end;
- and
- a horizontal line of weakening which enables the paper sheet to be removed from the bound end;
- and
- nine 8.5 by 11 inch subsections defined by lines of weakening;
- and
- whereby each 8.5 by 11 inch subsection can be removed from the paper sheet and loaded into a sheet fed machine.
A stack of sheets comprising:
- a plurality of paper sheets each having a top surface which is flat, a bottom surface which is flat, a free end, free sides and a bound end;
- and
- a backing means for support the paper sheets;
- and
- a means for securing the paper sheets and the backing together to form the bound end;
- and
- a plastic sheet attached to the bound end whereby the plastic sheet provides an erasable marking surface.
A stack of sheets according to claim 9, wherein the plastic sheet has contact clarity when placed in proximity to the paper sheet whereby the writing underneath the plastic sheet can still be viewed.
A stack of sheets comprising:
- a plurality of paper sheets with each having a top surface which is flat, a bottom surface which is flat, a free end, two sides and a bound end;
- and
- a backing means for supporting the paper sheets;
- and
- a means for securing the paper sheets and the backing together to form the bound end;
- and
- a sticker sheet attached to the stack of sheets.
A stack of sheets according to claim 16, wherein the sticker sheet contains diecut shapes for adhering the paper sheet to a substrate after it is removed from the stack of sheets.
A stack of sheets comprising:
- a plurality of paper sheets each having a top surface which is flat, a bottom surface which is flat, a free end, free sides and a bound end;
- and
- a backing means for support the paper sheets;
- and
- a means for securing the paper sheets and the backing together to form the bound end;
- and
- a horizontal line of weakening which enables the paper sheet to be removed from the bound end;
- and
- a combination of horizontal and vertical lines of weakening whereby each paper sheet can conveniently be folded upon the lines of weakening for storage and handling.
A stack of sheets comprising:
- a plurality of paper sheets each having a top surface which is flat, a bottom surface which is flat, free sides, a bound top end;
- and
- a horizontal line of weakening which enables the paper sheet to be removed from the top bound end;
- and
- a bound bottom end for attaching the paper sheets to the stack of sheets whereby the paper sheet is attached to the bottom end even after the paper sheet is released from the top bound end.
A method of subdividing a easel pad into a plurality of subsections for feeding into a sheet fed machine, which comprises:
- a) Dividing a easel pad sheet into a plurality of subsections;
- and
- b) Removing a subsection of the sheet of paper along lines of weakening;
- and
- c) Feeding the subsection into a sheet fed machine.
A method of erasably writing on a easel pad, which comprises:
- a) Attaching a repositionable plastic sheet to a easel pad;
- and
- b) Positioning the plastic sheet on top of a easel pad sheet;
- and
