US 2006/0188710 A1 · PAD WITH SELECTIVELY ACTIVATED ADHESIVE

Abstract

The inventive pad has a plurality of sheets stacked on top of one another. Each sheet having opposing, writeable first and second surfaces, opposing upper and lower edges, and opposing first and second side edges. A securing mechanism is disposed on the second surface and proximate to the upper edge of the sheet. The securing mechanism includes (a) first and second raised elements and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive. Each element has an application surface and is aligned generally parallel to and spaced apart from one another. The adhesive has an exposed surface and is disposed between the first and second raised element. The height of the adhesive, as measured from its exposed surface to the second surface is shorter than the height of either raised element, as measure from its application surface to the second surface. The sheets are attached together forming the pad.

A pad comprising:

a plurality of sheets stacked on top of one another, each sheet having opposing, writeable first and second surfaces, opposing upper and lower edges, and opposing first and second side edges;
a securing mechanism disposed on the second surface and proximate to the upper edge of the sheet, the mechanism comprising (a) first and second raised elements, each having an application surface and aligned generally parallel to and spaced apart from one another, and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive having an exposed surface and disposed between the first and second raised element, wherein the height of the adhesive, as measured from its exposed surface to the second surface is shorter than the height of either raised element, as measured from its application surface to the second surface;
and
a means for attaching the plurality of sheets together.

An pad comprising a plurality of sheets in a stack, each sheet having opposing writeable first and second surfaces, opposing upper and lower edges, and opposing first and second sides and a selective adhesion mechanism disposed on the second side of the sheet, the selective adhesion mechanism comprising:

first and second raised elements disposed proximate to the upper edge of the sheet and generally parallel to and spaced apart form one another, each raised element having an application surface;
and
a repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive having an exposed surface and disposed between the first and second raised elements,
wherein the height of the adhesive, as measured from the exposed surface of the adhesive to the second surface of the sheet is shorter than the height of either the first or the second raised element, as measured from the its application surface to the second surface of the sheet, and
wherein the first and second raised element and the adhesive are continuous from the first side to the second side edge of the sheet.
