DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(13) An advantageous embodiment especially for demanding conditions is a water-resistant writing pad with water-resistant covers and stone paper sheets which have been put together using e.g. spiral binding technique according to FIGS. 1 to 8. In a very advantageous embodiment the photoluminescent writing pad can be introduced under each separate page/sheet and secured to the spiral wire. The writing pad can also be fastened from various directions, for example upper edge, sides, lower edge or the writing pad can be unfastened. The writing pad can also be used as an interleaf.

(14) In a very advantageous embodiment the writing pad enables reading and writing of necessary information of any given time.

(15) In an advantageous embodiment of the photoluminescent writing pad according to the invention a spiral bound notepad is put together from one of the edges using e.g. spiral binding technique according to FIGS. 1 to 8, the writing pad is fastened to a back cover with a sticker 5 and it has notches 4 for securing it to the spiral wire.

(16) Furthermore, an advantageous embodiment is use of the writing pad in a spiral bound notepad or notebook, wherein note sheets are water-resistant stone paper or similar water-resistant material.

(17) Furthermore, an advantageous embodiment is suitability of the writing pad to demanding conditions.

(18) An embodiment is a photoluminescent writing pad 1 that is fastened to a back cover 2b, opposite a front cover 2a, of a notebook or a spiral bound notepad 2 and arranged to be turned to a page 3 of the notebook or spiral bound notepad. The writing pad includes a front side 7a and a back side 7b, with surface 6 on a front side of the writing pad. When the writing pad 1 is arranged such that the surface 6 is under a writing page of the notebook or spiral bound notepad, the writing pad is able to gleam through the writing page thus enabling reading and writing in darkness. The writing pad 1 comprises notches 4 for accommodating a spiral wire, especially spiral or wire or similar binding, of a notebook or notepad for securing the writing pad 1 also from another end under the page of the notebook or spiral bound notepad to function as an interleaf.

(19) In an embodiment the writing pad 1 comprises printed lines or check pattern covering a part or all of the writing pad.

(20) In an embodiment note sheets of the photoluminescent writing pad are stone paper or similar water-resistant material. Note sheets can be pages that can be written onto.

(21) It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that embodiments are not limited to the examples described above but may vary within the scope of the claims. In this context material of the photoluminescent writing pad can be instead of e.g. coated plastic sheet other suitable materials, e.g. aluminium-based material. In this context also the notches for securing the writing pad can be altered if necessary.
