Abstract: An index card assembly which allows selective adherence of an index card to a mounting surface is disclosed. A base paper layer of the index card has a front side and an opposite back side. The paper layer has an upper edge with a portion of the paper layer removed to define a paperless zone which includes a gap across the upper edge. A cover layer having an outer face and an inner face is adhered by pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on its inner face to the front side of the paper layer. The cover layer is aligned to cover the paperless zone with a top of the cover layer extending across the gap of the paperless zone. The adhesive on the inner face of the cover layer is thus exposed across the paper zone on the back side of the paper layer. The thickness of the paper layer prevents the adhesive from contacting a surface abutting the back side of the paper layer in the absence of the application of a threshold level of pressure against the outer face of the cover layer.

Abstract: A sheet dispenser for a stack of removable sheet has a transparent or translucent upper housing member. The dispenser provide visual feedback to a user upon removing a sheet from the stack.

Abstract: The invention provides an article having a plurality of sheets stacked on top of one another. Each sheet has opposing, first and second surfaces, opposing upper and lower 730 edges, and opposing first and second side edges. Disposed on the first surface and adjacent to the lower edge of the sheet is a securing mechanism that has an adhesive disposed between first and second raised elements. The first and second raised element each has an application surface. The pressure sensitive adhesive has an exposed surface. The height of the adhesive, as measured from its exposed surface to the second surface is shorter than the height of either raised element, as measured from its application surface to the second surface. The sheets are attached together using various means.

Abstract: Sheet dispensers, which provide feedback to a user or provide a unique function to a user, are disclosed. Visual, audio, aromatic, or other types of feedback may be provided to a user by the sheet dispenser. Sheet dispensers suitable for use as a switch, a room deodorizer, a flame-generating device, or a combination thereof are disclosed. A method of activating a switch-controlled object is also disclosed. Further, a method of making sheet dispensers is also disclosed.
