Abstract
A writing platform for a notebook, the writing platform including a writing table that can be elevated from a flat configuration to an elevated position along one edge adjacent the ring binder of the notebook so as to provide a slanted writing surface underneath one or more pages in the notebook. A riser is hingedly joined to the writing table and supports the edge of the writing table at a preselected elevation. Engagement means are included on the riser element and are used to releasably engage the rings of the ring binder to releasably support the writing table in a generally wedge-like orientation. The dimensional characteristics of the riser and the engagement means on the riser determine the elevation of the edge of the writing table.
Claims13
A writing platform for a notebook having a ring binder comprising:
- a writing table;
- a riser joined to one edge of said writing table for elevating said edge of said writing table;
- and
- engagement means on said riser for releasably engaging rings of said ring binder and thereby simultaneously elevating said edge of said writing table adjacent said ring binder to provide said writing platform.
A writing platform for a notebook having a ring binder comprising:
- a riser element removably mountable to rings of said ring binder;
- a writing table hingedly mounted to said riser element;
- and
- engagement means on said riser element for releasably engaging rings of said ring binder, said engagement means comprising a detent means for releasably supporting said riser element in a generally vertical orientation relative to said writing table.
A method for providing a writing platform in a notebook having a ring binder comprising:
- forming a writing table as a planar surface;
- preparing a riser element by forming a rigid strip having a pair of spaced, ring-engaging fingers, said fingers being configured to releasably engage a pair of correspondingly spaced rings of said ring binder;
- hingedly joining said riser element to writing table along an edge, the width of said riser element determining the distance said edge of said writing table can be elevated by said riser element;
- and
- mounting said riser element in said notebook by engaging said rings with said fingers.
