  • Patent number: 6158597
    Abstract: A hangable wall calendar has a stack of sheets that are bound at one edge with a spiral binding or other suitable flip binding. The calendar may have a stitch binding, or be cloth-bound or stapled. An elongated generally tubular hanger member for the calendar has a generally D-shaped profile, with a magnetic strip on the back and a slot running along a bottom wall. The slot is narrower than the diameter of the flip binding but large enough to accomodate the stack of sheets. The calendar can be slipped out of the holder and flipped to a different sheet, and then slid back into place. Alternatively, the hanger member can have a generally P-shaped profile.
