Abstract: A multi-purpose message board having a mounting panel and a plurality of spaces thereon with a multi-page permanent record unit, and a single sheet temporary record unit mounted in two of said spaces. The message board is formed of a single sheet of material with the spaces in the form of depressions molded in the single sheet, with the permanent record unit being a calendar with the pages wire bound at the top, and with the temporary record unit being a write on/wipe off plate or cork board. The mounting panel of the message board has a perimeter flange with a backboard having one surface mounted on the flange and magnets and eyelets carried on the other surface of the backboard. Containers are attached to the panel at some of the spaces. Containers may have a cup shape for holding articles and may have a frame for holding a note pad.

Abstract: A tray having a peripheral ridge that defines a tray opening for receiving articles. A tray lid having a first portion that forms a flat working surface and a second portion in sliding engagement with the tray between a closed position wherein the tray lid covers the tray opening and an extended position wherein the tray lid is adjacent the tray opening with the tray opening uncovered. The tray lid further includes a support ridge projecting below the flat working surface to support the flat working surface in a substantially level orientation when the tray lid is in the extended position.

Abstract: A notebook binder having a binder cover, a tray and a tray lid. The tray is fixed to the binder cover and has a peripheral ridge that defines a tray opening for receiving articles. The tray lid includes a first portion that forms a flat working surface and a second portion in sliding engagement with the tray between a closed position wherein the tray lid covers the tray opening and an extended position wherein the tray lid is adjacent the tray opening with the tray opening uncovered. The tray lid further includes a support ridge projecting below the flat working surface to support the flat working surface in a substantially level orientation relative to the binder cover when the tray lid is in the extended position.

Abstract: An improved binder attachment having a frame and an article, such as a calculator, mounted thereto. The frame includes a center portion and two arm portions. A slot engaging element is mounted to each arm portion so as to define an opening therebetween. The article is received in the opening and has a top edge surface and a bottom edge surface, each defining a slot for receiving the slot engaging elements. When the frame is attached to the binder, the article is permitted to slide along the slot engaging elements such that the article may be placed in adjacent face-up locations.

Abstract: A binder includes a notebook, a rotatable mounting assembly and an electronic processor secured to the notebook by the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a frame pivotally connected to an outer edge of a notebook cover and a slip case pivotally attached to the frame. The slip case releasably secures an electronic processor such that the processor can be rotated relative to the cover to any position between a retracted position adjacent the cover inside surface and a fully extended position adjacent the cover outside surface. At the same time, the electronic processor can be selectively rotated within the frame to face any desired direction.

Abstract: A pocket binder with a ring mount slidably seated in a compartment between the panels of the binder cover for attachment to a ringed binder. The ring mount may be partially extended from the compartment to expose a plurality of holes for insertion in a ringed binder. Alternatively, the ring mount may be retracted into the compartment to reduce the width of the pocket binder to a size capable of being stored in a suit pocket. A second embodiment discloses a pocket binder and ringed binder combination with the pocket binder attached to the ringed binder by the insertion of the rings through the holes in the pocket binder.

Abstract: A calendrical device is provided which selectively furnishes day and corresponding date information for successive years. The calendrical device includes a plurality of successive pages which are interconnected together and which are associated with a day identification mechanism that identifies the day corresponding to a given date. Each page contains an event indicating legend which has a separate date indicator corresponding to a separate date and separate day indicia that are characterized by a plurality of day indicators. Each of the day indicators corresponds to an individual day of a week and is arranged in a predetermined incremental day order relative to its counterpart day indicator occupying substantially the same location on a preceding page. The day identification mechanism includes a day identifying member that has a day marker.
