Abstract: Discloses sheet of printable media, such as paper, of a special format for printing, preferably by computer, images (such as charts) which are too large to fit on conventional sized sheets of printed paper, and a method for printing such images. The images are printed in sections onto standard sized paper sheets segmented into a retained portion and a removable portion with a glue strip along one side of the retained portion. The sections of the image are printed on the sheet to predetermined margins extending parallel to the sheet edges. The printing may include inconspicuous marks along a registration boundary to facilitate registration of a pair of sheets. The removable portion is separated from the sheet along a segmentation line that coextends with a registration boundary and two sheets with adjacent portions of an image are overlapped until their portions of the image are in register to present a continuous image without gap or overlap.

Abstract: A record book or pad and a method of manufacturing such a book or pad has a stack of sheets in sets A. Each set A consists of a primary sheet P disposed between secondary sheets OS and US. Both faces of the sheet P are provided with a reactive coating 4 of duplicating material and each face of the secondary sheets OS and US which opposes the primary sheet P in the set is provided with reactive coatings 5 of duplicating material. When a marking is applied to the sheet OS for recording a message, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet OS causing the coatings 4 and 5 between the sheets OS and P to inter-react and form a duplicate marking on a one face of the sheet P. Similarly when a marking is applied to the secondary sheet US, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet US causing the coatings 4 and 5 between sheet P and US to inter-react and form a duplicate of the marking on the second face of the sheet P.

Abstract: A record pad of paper sheets includes a number of stacked sets of sheets. Each set comprises a quadrate top sheet having top and bottom faces and for receiving indicia on its top face and having a first edge; a quadrate record sheet having top and bottom faces and for receiving transferred indicia from the top sheet on its top face, and having a first edge extending generally parallel to and outwardly from the first edge of the top sheet to define a margin; a transfer mechanism (such CF and CB constructions) is disposed between the top and record sheets for transferring indicia from the top sheet to the record sheet; and repositionable adhesive is provided on the top sheet bottom face at the top sheet first edge for releasably connecting the top sheet to the record sheet. The pad also includes mechanical fastener or adhesive for securing the record sheets in the pad of stacked sheets together at the margins.

Abstract: A method and device is described for recording and storing handwritten telephone messages. The device comprises a box structure which houses a roll of duplicating recording paper having a top sheet and a continuous bottom sheet. The roll of paper is unrolled in the box structure and across a writing surface visible through the window area on a front cover plate attached over the front portion of the box structure. The user records the message on one of a plurality of message outlines on the top sheet in the window area. The leading edge of the bottom sheet is attached to a sleeve member also housed inside the box structure. A handle is attached to the sleeve member which is used to selectively rotate the sleeve member to collect the bottom sheet thereon forming a collection spool which may be removed from the box structure and stored in a convenient location.

Abstract: A hinge system for an album, such as a photograph album, includes a plurality of leafs each having a backing layer. The backing layer of each album leaf is folded along its inner edge to form interlocking portions which engage corresponding portions on adjacent leafs to interconnect the leafs. An album cover assembly includes a bracket along the spine of the album for retaining at least one of the interlocking portions to hold the interconnected leafs in the album. The hinge system relies upon the elements formed by folding the backing layer of the album leafs and eliminates the need for additional binding or hinge elements, such as wires, posts or rods that add to the cost and complexity of the album leafs.
