STATEMENT RE: FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT(Not Applicable)
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention non-exclusively relates to a card such as a traditional business card, and in particular to a card comprising at least one integral flap for [tensionally] clippingly engaging the card to an edge of a paper sheet.
A major concern of persons who routinely present business cards along with other papers to potential clients, customers, and the like is that the recipients of these cards may well lose the cards, forget which cards should accompany which papers, or otherwise disconnect with the identities of the respective card providers. In other words, short of carrying a stapler, a supply of paperclips, or a roll of adhesive tape, there presently is really no manner in which a business card or similar product can be attached to papers, a folder cover, or any type of document.
In view of the present unavailability of easy attachability of a card product to a document, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a card product comprising at least one integral flap for providing clippable engageability of the card product along an edge of a paper sheet to thereby clippingly attach the card product to the sheet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a card comprising at least one integral flap for clippable engagability of said card along an edge of a paper sheet to thereby attach said card to said sheet. The card can be constructed of a paper product sheet material, a plastic sheet material, or other sheet material so long as the flap thereof and the remainder of the card are flexibly movable with respect to each other. Preferably, the flap is formed from the body of the card.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSAn illustrative and presently preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which:
Referring first to
The card 10 can be produced in multiples as currently performed by, for example, printing such cards twelve-up on a card stock sheet 22 (each card measuring about two inches by about three and one-half inches) and thereafter cutting the card stock sheet 22 along respective lines 24 to thereby produce one dozen separate cards 10. As shown in
While illustrative and presently preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail herein, it is to be understood that the inventive concepts may be otherwise variously embodied and employed and that the appended claims are intended to be construed to include such variations except insofar as limited by the prior art.
Claims
1. A card comprising at least one integral flap formed from the card for clippable engagability of said card along an edge of a paper sheet to thereby attach said card to said sheet.
2. A card as claimed in claim 1 wherein said card is constructed of a paper product.
3. A card as claimed in claim 2 comprising a plurality of said integral flaps.
4. A card as claimed in claim 1 comprising a plurality of said integral flaps.
5. A card comprising at least one generally V-shaped integral flap formed from the card for clippable engagability of said card along an edge of a paper sheet to thereby attach said card to said sheet.
6. A card as claimed in claim 5 wherein said card is constructed of a paper product.
7. A card as claimed in claim 6 comprising a plurality of said generally V-shaped integral flaps.
