Abstract: A method of fabricating a book from a bound stack of sheets and a hardcover assembly having first and second relatively rigid cover sections separated by a spine region. A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed over the inner surfaces of the cover sections, with there being a pair of release liners covering both the pressure sensitive adhesive layers. The book is assembled by placing the hardcover assembly on a surface and removing one of the release liners from one of the pressure sensitive adhesive layers. The bound stack is then positioned on the hardcover assembly, preferably using a guide apparatus to ensure proper positioning, so that the one end sheet of the stack and the and assembly will become attached by the exposed pressure sensitive adhesive. The stack is then folded away from the hardcover assembly in a manner such that the user can access and remove the second release liner thereby exposing the remainder of the adhesive on the one cover section.

Abstract: A form that incorporates either a label or card such that the form can be reliably printed on by the end user and manufactured less expensively. The integrated label form includes a top printable substrate and a liner substrate mated together by an adhesive. The top printable substrate serves at least partially as removable portions capable of being reapplied. Weakened lines of substrate may be provided to define removable portions on the top printable substrate. The form also may include a similar printable substrate mated to the other side of the liner by adhesive. Weakened lines of substrate also may formed in the second substrate to define removable portions. The integrated card form includes a printable substrate and a first and second laminate mated to the substrate and together by an adhesive. Weakened lines of substrate and first laminate define an integrated removable portion capable of being held in the form by the second laminate and easily removed manually when desired.

Abstract: A form 1 has a detachable card 3. A peel glue layer 22 adheres a support layer 21 to the card 3. The card 3 is a blank produced by punching the form 1 up to the support layer 21. The blank is held in the form by the peel glue layer 22 and support layer until removed.

Abstract: A calendaring and journal device is disclosed which is configured to enable the organized and compartmentalized recordation and annotation of appointments and notes within a structure which is designed to save paper while still giving an expanded capability for note-taking. The calendaring and journal device of the present invention is also structured to provide quick and easy access to the information annotated in any week and to enable the selective movement of information from one section to another without having to re-enter notes or information.

Abstract: A form (1) with a detachable card (3) is disclosed. A support material (2) is glued on the back of the form and contains besides a support layer (21) a layer of glue (22) that may be peeled off the card. The card (3) is a blank held by the supporting layer (21) within the form and produced by punching (31, 32) through the front of the form up to the supporting layer (21). The card may be punched all around its periphery without leaving any punching bridges.

Abstract: A transparent overlay device for placement over printed material wherein notations can be made on the transparent overlay device over the printed material without leaving permanent markings on the printed material is disclosed. The transparent overlay device comprises:(a) a transparent sheet for substantially covering and protecting the printed material, the transparent sheet being capable of receiving notations thereon;(b) attachment means for removably attaching the transparent overlay device to the printed material without damaging the printed material; and(c) a notation border attached to the transparent sheet along at least one edge of the transparent sheet, the notation border being capable of receiving notations thereon without substantially blocking any of the printed material underlying the transparent sheet.

Abstract: An article for forming a protective cover for a book has a first sheet for forming a protective cover with an adhesive coating and a backing sheet. One sheet has delineations facilitating the removal of surplus portions of the first sheet in the regions of the ends of the spine and corners of the book being covered. The spine delineations may be convergent series of regularly spaced parallel lines. The corner delineations may be regularly spaced parallel lines which traverse corner regions. The backing layer is formed as three separately removal portions whereby the book spine and each book cover may be covered in separate steps.

Abstract: In a bookbinding apparatus and method, a catalog is bound in book form and includes a back cover having a plurality of equidistantly-spaced openings extending therethrough adjacent an inner edge of the back cover, and a price list includes a substantially double or single width front cover having apertures extending through a free edge thereof and registerable with the openings of the catalog back cover.

The book cover is particularly adapted to fit telephone directories of any thickness. The book cover has a front cover section having a pocket to slide over the front cover of a phone book, and a rear cover section having a sleeve for slidably receiving the back cover of a phone directory. The third section, which is hingedly attached to a forward portion of the front cover section and extends rearwardly therefrom, is adapted to mount a booklet containing medical information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to protective covers for books having two cover sections and pockets for receiving book covers, locking flaps for locking the protective covers to the book covers, an adjustable spine section to accommodate books of different thicknesses, and a tear-away strip to hold together the two cover sections until they are ready for use.

Abstract: A cover sheet is provided for a newspaper having a plurality of adjacent sheets of newsprint of equal width and length with a vertical fold and a horizontal fold intersecting the vertical fold. The cover sheet is equal in length to the adjacent sheets and slightly more than one-half the width of the adjacent sheets. A back portion of the cover sheet overlies and coincides completely with the back of the newspaper. A first fold in the cover sheet coincides with the vertical fold to form a front portion substantially narrower than the front portion of the newspaper. The front portion overlies a narrow band of the front of the newspaper along the vertical fold. A second fold in the cover sheet intersects the first fold and coincides with the horizontal fold. Printed material on the cover sheet is arranged transverse to the printed material on the newspaper.
