  • Patent number: 4488366
    Abstract: A calender structure includes linking apparatus for displaying, in a linked and continuing fashion, time sequences shown on separate pages thereof. The individual pages are provided with specific hinging structures to permit simultaneous viewing of the last portion of one month and the first portion of a next month, for example, so that a continuing display is provided for linked time sequences notwithstanding the fact that such sequences are provided on separate pages. A single hinging operation results in the continuing display, thus avoiding the necessity for repeatedly turning between two calander pages at periods approaching an end of the month.
