Abstract

A calendaring and journal device is disclosed which is configured to enable the organized and compartmentalized recordation and annotation of appointments and notes within a structure which is designed to save paper while still giving an expanded capability for note-taking. The calendaring and journal device of the present invention is also structured to provide quick and easy access to the information annotated in any week and to enable the selective movement of information from one section to another without having to re-enter notes or information.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A calendaring and journal device comprising:

a paper-retaining member configured to engage a plurality of paper sheets in consecutive arrangement, said paper retaining member being adjustable to disengage a number of paper sheets therefrom;
a plurality of first-dimensioned paper sheets, each having a first edge structured to be engaged by said paper-retaining member and each said first-dimensioned paper sheet having a selected length dimension and a selected width dimension, said plurality of first-dimensioned paper sheets further comprising:
at least one weekly scheduling page demarcated with annotation blocks corresponding to the seven days of the week and being positioned in alignment with an imprinted indica of a day of the week, each said annotation block also being demarcated to provide annotation sub-blocks corresponding to morning, afternoon and evening divisions of each day;
and
at least one task page for positioning next to said at least one weekly scheduling page to provide a first weekly spread section, each said at least one task page having a top being imprinted with a current calendar month;
a plurality of second-dimensioned paper sheets positionable between said first-dimensioned paper sheets and each having a first edge structured to be engaged by said paper-retaining member, each said second-dimensioned paper sheet having a length dimension which is less than said selected length dimension of said first-dimensioned paper sheets thereby providing a manipulable top margin;
A plurality of third-dimensioned paper sheets positionable between said first-dimensioned paper sheets and each having a first edge structured to be engaged by said paper-retaining member, each said third-dimensioned paper sheet having a width dimension which is less than said selected width dimension of said first-dimensioned paper sheets thereby providing a manipulable side margin;
and
a turn guide comprising two planar locator members selectively positionable between one or more consecutively-arranged paper sheets to enable a simultaneous movement of said consecutively-arranged paper sheets, said turn guide being sized to extend beyond one said dimension of said first-dimensioned paper sheets to provide a graspable member facilitating manipulation of said turn guide.
