  • Patent number: 5549267
    Abstract: A frame assembly for use on a device such a computer monitor having a front viewed surface surrounded by a housing. The frame assembly includes a stiff frame having generally planar front and rear surfaces that includes elongate border portions having inner edge surfaces that define an opening through the frame corresponding in shape to the front viewed surface. The rear surface of the frame can be attached along the front surface of the housing with the opening in the frame aligned with the front viewed surface, and a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to the frame is accessible along the front surface of the frame so that sheets of paper and other objects can be releasably adhered thereto. The frame assembly can be supplied as a part of a composite that can provide other separable smaller bulletin boards or frames that also can have pressure sensitive adhesive accessible along their front surfaces.

  • Patent number: 5158205
    Abstract: The combination of (1) sheets of note paper in a stack with each of the sheets having a narrow band of adhesive coated on its bottom surface along one edge by which the sheet is adhered to the top surface of the adjacent sheet in the stack, the sheets being stacked with the band of adhesive of adjacent sheets at alternate opposite sides of the stack, and (2) a dispenser comprising a housing closely receiving the top, bottom and first side surfaces of the stack of sheets. The housing includes a top wall of flexible material adjacent the top surface of the stack, which top wall has through flanking slits parallel to and flanking side surfaces of the stack and generally centered along those side surfaces, and spaced edge surfaces extending between the flanking slits. The flanking slits and edge surfaces define two opposed flap like portions of the top wall and a slot through the top wall between the flap like portion through which slot projects a portion of the uppermost sheet in the stack.
