Abstract: A notepad includes multiple sheets that are arranged into a stack. Each sheet has a first major face, a second major face, and a perimeter edge at which each of the first and second major faces terminate. The notepad also includes an adhesive disposed on a portion of the second major face of each sheet such that the portion of the second major face of each sheet releasably adheres to a corresponding portion of the first major face of an underlying sheet. The portion being disposed with the adhesive lies adjacent to a portion of the perimeter edge of a corresponding sheet for forming a releasably bonded side of the stack. Also, the stack is twisted about a common central axis of the sheets present therein such that the notepad has a spiral shape.

Abstract: A dispensing structure (102) for dispensing sheets, such as notes (106) or flags, that is adapted to be removably coupled with a support structure. A dispensing assembly comprising a stack (104) of sheets, such as notes or flags, and the dispensing structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tape dispenser for dispensing tape from a tape roll received therein. In one embodiment, the tape dispenser comprises a main body with a mandrel adapted to receive and releasably retain a tape roll, and wherein the mandrel allows rotation of the tape roll about a mandrel axis. It further includes a cutting arm comprising a blade attached to the main body for cutting the tape and positioned at a distance from the mandrel axis. The tape dispenser further includes an attachment unit for temporarily and releasably attaching the tape dispenser to a furniture, wherein the main body is pivotably attached to the attachment unit, and wherein a pivot axis is perpendicular to a mandrel axis.
