ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a set which can be printed on, consisting of a flat supporting sheet and a plurality of flat repositionable adhesive information carriers which each have a front and a back and which are provided on their back with a layer of contact adhesive.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
So-called “adhesive notes” have been known for some years in the art. These are small-format, usually yellow pieces of paper which are provided on the back at the top edge with a weak contact adhesive, so that such handwritten notes can be removed again, even from sheets of stationery and brochures, without leaving a residue.
Hitherto these notes have been written on by hand. However, there are numerous possible uses which make a computer-written small note appear desirable. In this way identical notes could be set up in a simple manner and would be easily legible.
Therefore it has already been proposed to dispose a plurality of adhesive notes beside and below one another on a A

size supporting sheet in order that they can then be printed on with the aid of a computer and printer. However, if only one single note is to be provided with information, the use of this known supporting sheet is relatively awkward, since first of all the position of a note which has not yet been pulled off from the supporting sheet must be determined and correspondingly transferred to the computer program being used. Moreover, the supporting sheet remains as waste after all adhesive notes have been written on and detached.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention, therefore, is to make further developments to the set which can be printed on in such a way that one single adhesive note can be printed on in a simple manner and in addition the waste material which accumulates is reduced.
This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterising features of. According to the invention all adhesive information carriers are disposed above one another and staggered with respect to one another on the supporting sheet in such a way that the first adhesive information carrier with its layer of contact adhesive is detachably disposed on the supporting sheet and the next adhesive information carrier in each case is disposed with its layer of contact adhesive detachably on the front of the adhesive information carrier lying below it, wherein in each case a region of the front of the underlying adhesive information carrier is not covered by the adhesive information carrier lying above it.
Due to the arrangement of the adhesive information carriers above one another the waste material can be reduced to a minimum. With the set according to the invention the uppermost adhesive information carrier in each case can be printed on. The adhesive information carrier which has been printed on can be detached from the set particularly easily because of the staggered arrangement of all adhesive information carriers. The next adhesive information carrier can then be printed on and pulled off in an analogous manner. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the pending claims as well and are explained in greater detail below with reference to the description of an embodiment and the drawings, in which:
