A memo marking strip for use in marking a place between pages of a document is formed from a thin elongated rectangular strip. The rectangular strip is preferably formed from a heavy gauge paper material and may be provided with various forms of writing guide line indicia to enable an individual to make notes thereon. Numeric indicia is provided on opposite faces of the strip in a manner to allow the numeric indicia to be displayed in an upright orientation from any edge of a document. The memo strip is preferably provided in a set of memo strips consisting of a plurality of different color groups, with the strips of each group being sequentially numbered.
Claims18
A memo marking strip, comprising:
- a thin elongated rectangular strip having two opposite side faces defined by first and second elongated parallel side edges connected at opposite ends by first and second end edges, said first and second end edges extending parallel to each other and perpendicular to said elongated side edges;
- a first of said side faces having a first numeric indicia adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edges and said first end edge;
- a second numeric indicia on said first side face disposed adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edge and said second end edge;
- said first and second numeric indicia dipsosed at a 90 degree orientation relative to each other;
- a second of said side faces having third numeric indicia adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said second side edge and said second end edge;
- a fourth numeric indicia on said second side face disposed adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edge and said first end edge;
- and
- said third and fourth numeric indicia disposed at a 90 degree orientation relative to each other, whereby said memo marking strip may be oriented between pages of a document to selectively display said first numeric indicia in an upright position on a left hand edge of said document, or said second numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a top edge of said document, or said third numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a bottom edge of said document, or said fourth numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a right side edge of said document.
A method of marking a place between pages of a document, comprising the steps of:
- providing:
- a thin elongated rectangular strip having two opposite side faces defined by first and second elongated parallel side edges connected at opposite ends by first and second end edges, said first and second end edges extending parallel to each other and perpendicular to said elongated side edges;
- a first of said side faces having a first numeric indicia adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edge and said first end edge;
- a second numeric indicia on said first side face disposed adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edge and said second end edge;
- said first and second numeric indicia disposed at a 90 degree orientation relative to each other;
- a second of said side faces having third numeric indicia adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said second side edge and said second end edge;
- a fourth numeric indicia on said second side face disposed adjacent a corner portion formed by intersection of said first side edge and said first end edge;
- said third and fourth numeric indicia disposed at a 90 degree orientation relative to each other;
- and
- selectively orienting said memo marking strip between pages of a document to display said first numeric indicia in an upright position on a left hand edge of said document, or said second numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a top edge of said document, or said third numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a bottom edge of said document, or said fourth numeric indicia in an upright orientation on a right side edge of said document.
