ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to a holding structure which retains a calendar in position for display of both month and picture, permits access to the sheet which has the calendar printed thereon and permits access to the calendar so that its page may be changed every month to maintain it in current condition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The most common calendar structure is the assembly of a plurality of pages which are stapled together along a center fold line. With the center fold line in a horizontal position, successive picture pages are positioned above the center line and successive calendar pages are positioned below the center line.
Conventionally, such calendars have a hole therethrough on the edge away from the center line. This hole permits hanging of the calendar on a suitable hanging projection, such as a nail or other similar projection. When supported in such a manner, the lower leaf can be raised and hung on the support, opening a new picture and new calendar month. Such a supporting structure is neither decorative nor secure. The calendar is unframed and thus presents an unfinished appearance. While the monthly calendar page is accessible, the fact that the entire calendar simply hangs from a single nail does not provide much security. Accordingly, there is a need for additional and more decorative support.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to aid in the understanding of this invention it can be said in essentially summary form that it is directed to a holder for a calendar for the support and display thereof. The holder comprises a backboard and a frame, including a calendar recess, with the frame being openable away from the backboard. When the frame is opened, the open calendar can be placed in the recess. When the frame is replaced, it holds the calendar in the recess. The frame is open in the front so that there is both visual and physical access to the front of the calendar as it lies open in the recess.
It is thus a purpose and advantage of this invention to provide a calendar display structure which accepts a calendar and holds it in place for viewing.
It is another purpose and advantage of this invention to provide a display structure for a calendar which displays both the picture and the calendar month sheet of the calendar, with at least the calendar month sheet exposed for physical access so that it may be marked upon.
It is another purpose and advantage of this invention to provide a calendar display structure which has an openable frame so that the frame can be opened, the calendar page turned and the frame thereupon closed to continue to support the calendar in an updated position.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may be best understood by reference to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
