Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0007] FIG. 1 is a visual embodiment of the present invention and depicts a top view of a sticky note notebook in an open position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The inventor provides a unique system for dispensing, holding, sorting, arranging, and managing sticky notes. The present invention is described in detail in the following drawing, which represents one of potentially multiple embodiments of the present invention.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a visual embodiment of the present invention and depicts a top view of a sticky note notebook in an open position.

[0010] A sticky note notebook is constructed of pages made of durable plastic material, meaning material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be molded into solid objects.

[0011] A plurality of plastic pages in a sticky note notebook provides a user with numerous pages, each designed to hold a small stack of refillable sticky notes. This design provides the user with several sticky note surfaces to write on, as used sticky notes may be easily transferred from the plastic pages. The plastic pages themselves are not designed to be written on. The different plastic pages can be used for, but not limited to, dispensing, holding, sorting, arranging, and managing sticky notes. When a plastic page is emptied of sticky notes, the user refills the plastic page with a sticky note stack, and the process is repeated.

[0012] Certain embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, sticky note notebooks made in a variety of sizes. The size of a sticky note notebook depends on the size of the sticky notes a user chooses.

[0013] One embodiment of the present invention (as pictured in drawing FIG. 1), is not much larger than the standard 33 sticky note and is an ideal size for a user to carry around in a pocket or purse. That size of the embodiment depicted in the present invention is designed to hold a collection of plastic pages. The user can put a small stack of sticky notes on each plastic page.

[0014] Certain embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, sticky note notebooks made in a variety of sizes. As an organizational tool, an embodiment of this invention in a larger size enables users to plan and aids them in keeping track of their goals. By using a sticky note notebook as an organizational tool, users can break down their goals into smaller action items that can be written on separate sticky notes. Having each step written on a separate sticky note allows users to move around, arrange, sort, prioritize, make plans for, and keep track of all their notes. In essence, the process enables users to stay organized.

[0015] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, the cover is comprised of a front cover (1) and a back cover (6). The cover, which in this preferred embodiment is rounded on all corners, can be the same height or slightly taller than the inside plastic pages; however, it is always slightly wider than the inside plastic pages, thereby preventing the inside plastic pages from extending beyond the cover (due to the curvature of the binding) when the sticky book notebook is closed.

[0016] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, the inside pages (2) are made of sturdy, yet flexible, plastic with a surface that allows self-adhesive notes to stick without dis-attaching themselves through multiple transfers. The inside plastic pages are not designed to be used as material for note-writing, but are intended to be used for the attachment of sticky notes. This purpose, however, is not limited in scope.

[0017] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, the inside plastic pages can be rounded on all 4 corners (but are only rounded on the binding edge in this preferred embodiment).

[0018] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, the sticky note notebook can be made with as many pages (5) as the binding allows, however, room should be left for users, if they choose, to affix a small stack of sticky notes on several or all pages.

[0019] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, the binding uses the 3:1 ratio Wire-O binding method (3).

[0020] In FIG. 1, which shows one embodiment of the present invention, holes (4) can be punched with a binding machine.
