ABSTRACT:
A book, such as a loose-leaf binder, containing pages for writing thereon, has a rigid back cover with a hanger at the top edge thereof, and an underlying prop flap hinged to the bottom edge thereof and providing a free edge for engaging a wall, door or the like upstanding support surface to hold the book in a desk simulating position when the hanger is suspended from the surface to thereby present the pages in a comfortable writing position. The hanger is preferably an elongated downwardly opening channel strip secured along the top edge of the back cover to mate with an upwardly opening channel strip secured on the door, wall or the like. The book preferably has a rigid front cover which is also equipped with a similar downwardly opening channel strip to mate in the door or wall mounted strip thereby holding the book in rigid opened position so that both sides of pages may be presented for writing. A second prop flap on the front cover is not necessary.
The book desk is especially useful in the form of a loose-leaf ring binder serving as a patient's record book in hospitals where the book may be kept in a patient's supply cabinet in the patient's room and easily and quickly mounted on a door of the cabinet to provide a desk for use by the doctor or other hospital personnel in entering records. The pages are removed from the binder to form a permanent hospital record when the patient is discharged and the binder is then available for the records of successive patients occupying the room.
