A method for thermoforming synthetic paper is provided, more concretely for thermoforming holding strips of synthetic paper, the strips being used to produce sheet-holding devices of a specific configuration. The devices can be used in the assembly of sheet holders such as calendars, white sheet dispensers or information cards.

A machine for applying support members to opposing sides of opposing edges of a sheet material includes a support tab applicator assembly that applies a first portion of a support tab along a longitudinal edge of a first side of the sheet material, a support tab finisher assembly that applies a second portion of the support tab disposed opposite the first portion to a second side of the sheet material disposed opposite the first side, and a hole punch assembly that cuts a hole through the sheet material. The machine also may include a strengthening film applicator assembly that applies a strengthening film along a longitudinal length of the first side of the sheet material and/or across the support tab.

An erasable loop scheduler for use with a calendar system is disclosed. The erasable loop scheduler may have a board and a loop system. The board has a first and second side, each having a viewing pane that displays a different portion of the loop system. The loop system includes a grid system that can be configured like a calendar. The calendar system allows recurring appointments to be recorded from a previous calendar and stored adjacent to the erasable loop scheduler. The erasable loop scheduler allows a user to write out a full month of dates and appointments on the first side of the board and another full month of dates and appointments on the second side of the board. Once a row of events has passed, the loop system can be advanced, at which point the row of past events moves to the second side of the board.

The present invention provides a calendar desk pad, comprising a base member, a plurality of monthly calendar pages bound to the base member, wherein the calendar pages have at least one perforation or fold line located between the days or weeks on the calendar.

A calendar system including a ring-bound paper calendar having a plurality of paper calendar sheets secured to a ring binding mechanism, the paper calendar configured such that each paper calendar sheet can be exposed by flipping the sheets above it out of the way using the ring binding mechanism, and a transparent dry erase sheet detachably coupled to the calendar, the transparent dry erase sheet configured, when detachably coupled to the paper calendar, such that the dry erase sheet can be placed on top of an exposed paper calendar sheet to permit a user to view the paper calendar sheet below the transparent dry erase sheet, wherein the user may write directly onto the exposed paper calendar sheet in a permanent manner, and write on the transparent dry erase sheet in a semi-permanent manner.

An erasable display system featuring a frame with front and back portions forming a hollow center, connected by first and second side panels containing rod-receiving apertures. First and second rods extend rotatably between the side panels, supporting a continuous loop of flexible writeable film that advances through user rotation. The system may include an eraser mechanism that automatically cleans the film during rotation, with adjustable pressure capability. Side panels can incorporate holders for markers and erasers. The film features a specialized coating for effective marking and erasing.
