  • Patent number: 5118213
    Abstract: A writing platform for a notebook, the writing platform including a writing table that can be elevated from a flat configuration to an elevated position along one edge adjacent the ring binder of the notebook so as to provide a slanted writing surface underneath one or more pages in the notebook. A riser is hingedly joined to the writing table and supports the edge of the writing table at a preselected elevation. Engagement means are included on the riser element and are used to releasably engage the rings of the ring binder to releasably support the writing table in a generally wedge-like orientation. The dimensional characteristics of the riser and the engagement means on the riser determine the elevation of the edge of the writing table.

  • Patent number: 5114259
    Abstract: A writing platform for a notebook, the writing platform including a writing table that can be elevated from a flat configuration to an elevated position along one edge adjacent the ring binder of the notebook so as to provide a writing surface underneath one or more pages in the notebook. A riser is hingedly joined between a basal element and the writing table and supports the edge of the writing table at a preselected elevation. Detent means are included on the basal element and are engaged by the writing table to releasably support the riser in a generally vertical orientation. The dimensional characteristics of the writing table, the riser, and the detent means determine the ultimate elevation of the edge of the writing table.
