Agenda System

(i) Field of the Invention

This invention relates to an agenda system variously known heretofore as a calendar or diary.

(ii) Description of the Prior Art

Such calendars or diaries generally comprise a book having a marginal index number corresponding to the days of the month. The pages under each number of the index are divided into twelve sections, bearing the designation of the successive months and also the day of the week corresponding to the day of the month represented by the index, e.g. as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 1,368,672, patented Feb. 15, 1921 by G. Wilkinson. A salient feature of such diaries was that entires when made were permanently inscribed in the diary and could not conveniently be transferred to another location.

Attempts have been made to minimize the re-scribing of entries in a diary or other permanent record or chart. For example, Dazey in U.S. Pat. No. 3,115,351 patented Dec. 24, 1963, provided a solicitation kit for fund raising drives. The Dazey invention provided a multisheet individual contributor's pad where carbonized paper was employed and in which a single printing of the individual contributor's name provided various sheets that could be used on the material that would provide a record of the worker's name contacting the contributor, and would further provide a record of the periodic intended contribution of the contributor, as well as a receipt form.

Strom, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,915, patented Jan. 4, 1977, provided a consumer diary. The Strom invention provided a diary and reporting device which had a folder with top and bottom covers hinged together. When opened flat, an information entry sheet composed of a general data section or zone and an item data zone was exposed. The item data zone was keyed or indexed to data entry guide book pages for instructions as to what data to enter for each type of item reported. An entry index facilitated use of the guide book. All components of the folder were removable and/or replaceable, as by means of tabs or edges on each item engaging cooperating slots or pockets in the folder cover, to facilitate regular reporting and periodic changes in the survey information to be gathered.

Lockhart, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,129, patented June 26, 1979, provided a pharmaceutical record and label system. In one embodiment of the Lockhard invention, a backing sheet capable of storing information relative to pharmaceutical perscriptions had a first series of adhesively-backed pharmaceutical prescription label segments removably secured thereto, each label segment having formatted zones thereon for facilitating entry of typed information and accommodating simultaneous transfer of typewriter impressions to the backing sheet. A second series of supplemental data segments on the backing sheet provide for recording of supplementary information with respect of each label segment contemporaneously with the typing of the label segment. After removal of a prescription label segment from the backing sheet, the backing sheet had stored thereon both the formatted information as entered on the label segment, and necessary supplemental data so as to facilitate computerized pharmaceeutical accounting.

Pendergrass, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,400,017 patented Aug. 23, 1983, provided an integrated budget and check record book. In the patented register for recording budget items and check items, the register had a first plurality of sheets for recording budget items and a second plurality of sheets for recording check items wherein at least a portion of the second plurality of sheets was also reserved for recording a budget category. The first and second plurality of sheets were secured for movement about a central axis in book-like fashion and were independently movable with respect to each other for permitting alignment of longitudinal lines contained on the first plurality of sheets with longitudinal lines contained on the second plurality of sheets.

Martin, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,958, patented Dec. 25, 1984, provided a personal time management instrument. In the patented instrument, a sheet for personal time management was provided with an activity section and a calendar section to provide an entire week's scheduled activities over the same working hours each day. A plurality of such sheets could be incorporated into a book so as to provide a permanent record on a day-to-day basis of what was planned to be done and what had been done. The activity section had a wide vertical column with horizontal lines to define spaces in which an activity may be written. The calendar section had vertical subcolumns, one of which designated each day in the time period, while the other contained blocks which were subdivided to designate sequential times in a day.

Other proposed solutions to this problem have been suggested in the form of auxiliary sheets which could be adhesively secured to various areas of preprinted sheets. For example, Osborne, in U.S. Pat. No. 1,979,283, patented Nov. 6, 1934, provided an accounting system. In the Osborne system, a chart was divided into numbered rows, or columns, and coupons were furnished which were adapted to be secured to the chart with the coupons arranged in rows at right angles to the numbered rows, the various coupons in any row overlapping shingle-wise, so that each attached coupon became associated with a certain specific numbered row or column. Thus, if the first-mentioned rows or columns were numbered from unity consecutively, the number at the head of the last column in which a coupon was attached indicated the number of coupon row. Each coupon was formed with dried adhesive on a portion of the back thereof adjacent one end for a region corresponding to the width of a numbered column. The matter it represented, was printed or written on the face of the coupon. Near the opposite end from the gummed region, the rate or other numeral on which the computation was to be based was printed on the face. When such coupons were secured to the chart, in a horizontal row, for instance, the coupons of the same rate being arranged in the same row, and overlapping each other so that each successive coupon was attached in a succeeding vertical column, then the total amount for any particular row of coupons would be the product of the rate on the coupon times the number at the head of the column to which the last coupon was attached.

Johnson, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,116,470, patented Sept. 26, 1978, provided a medical information form for a plurality of individual reports. The patented form included a base or carrier sheet which was selectively coated with pressure sensitive adhesive which was concealed by a protective removable release sheet. The release sheet was subdivided into a plurality of interconnected, independently-removable panels, each of which concealed an area of the base or carrier sheet and a portion of the adhesive pattern which was to be occupied by a single report.

Another and significantly different attempted solution to the problem was provided by Townsend, in U.S. Pat. No. 1,070,084, patented Aug. 12, 1912, as a so-called procrastenator's calendar. In that invention, a calendar was provided which included separate extra memorandum pads in connection with the calendar which were independent of the divisions of time insofar as the memoranda on the pads may remain in sight regardless of the disposal made of the sheets of the main calendar pad as time elapsed. Hence, it was said to be possible to keep the memoranda in sight until the different matters referred to therein were attended to, regardless of the lapse of time.

(i) Aims of the Invention

Nevertheless all these proposed solutions did not solve the problem of avoiding making repetitive entries in a diary or calendar.

(ii) Statement of Invention

This invention therefore provides a universal agenda system unrestricted by a specified year. Such universal agenda system includes a pair of covers, i.e. a front cover and a back cover; and a plurality of sections between the covers. Such sections include a primary divider sheet section comprising a plurality of primary divider index sheets assembled in book-like form between the covers, each primary divider sheet being of a selected first width and being provided with a projecting primary marginal index tab bearing primary indicia on the front face thereof, all tabs of this divider sheet section being visible when the front cover is opened. The sections include a secondary section disposed in operative association with the primary divider index sheet section, the secondary section comprising a plurality of sheets, each sheet being provided with a projecting secondlary marginal index tab, each tab bearing an indicia on the front face thereof, the width of each sheet including its projecting secondary marginal index tab being of a width equal to, or less than, the width of a primary divider sheet without its projecting primary marginal index tab. The secondary section includes (i): a twelve-index-sheet combination, each sheet of that combination being provided with a projecting marginal index tab bearing an indicia indicative of one of the twelve months of the year, in descending sequence on the front face thereof. It also includes (ii): a selected primary divider index sheet provided with a projecting primary marginal index tab bearing the indicia "THIS MONTH" on the front face thereof, for selective insertion immediately before the index sheet designating the present month. It also includes (iii): a selected primary divider index sheet provided with a projecting primary index tab bearing the indicia "NEXT MONTH" on the front face thereof for selective insertion immediately before the index sheet designating the next month. It also includes (iv): a thirty-one-index-sheet combination selectively insertable between the "THIS MONTH" primary divider index sheet and the "NEXT MONTH" primary divider index sheet, each sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination being provided with a projecting marginal index tab bearing an indicia indicative of one of a possible maximum of thirty-one days of a month in descending sequence, on the front face thereof. Finally, it also includes (v): a selected primary divider index sheet provided with a projecting primary marginal index tab bearing the indicia "TODAY" on the front face thereof, for selective insertion immediately before the index sheet designating the present day of the present month. Finally, the agenda system includes a plurality of selectively-movable, inscribable sheets, each sheet being smaller in size than each of the index sheets of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination. Each sheet of the secondary thirty-one-index-sheet combination or the selectively-movable sheet is provided with a coating of a selected adhesive over a restricted area thereof, the selected aadhesive allowing the selectively-movable sheet to be affixed to, and removed from, the sheets of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination a plurality of times. Instead of the selected sheet of the thirty-one index sheet combination being used to hold the selectively movable inscribable sheets, a blank sheet of an optional tertiary section may be used.

Additional twelve-index-sheet combinations and thirty-one-index-sheet combinations, for indicating months and days of the month, respectively, as in (i) and (ii) above, may be provided for insertion in other sections of the agenda system, such as a RECORDER section, a GOALS ACHIEVED section, and so on.

This invention also provides a method of using the above-described universal agenda system. The method comprises the first step of providing, between a front cover and a back cover, a plurality of primary divider index sheets assembled in book-like form, each primary divider sheet being of a selected first width and being provided with a projecting primary index tab bearing primary indicia on the front face thereof, all the tabs being visible when the front cover is opened. The next step is disposing a secondary section in operative association with the primary divider index sheets, the secondary section comprising a plurality of sheets, each sheet being provided with a projecting secondary marginal index tab, each tab bearing an indicia on the front face thereof, the width of each sheet including its projecting secondary marginal index tab being of a width equal to, or less than, the width of the primary divider index sheets without the projecting marginal index tab. At least one secondary section which is so disposed includes: a secondary twelve-index-sheet combination, each sheet of that combination being provided with a projecting marginal tab bearing an indicia designating one of the twelve months of the year, in descending sequence on the front face thereof, and a secondary thirty-one-index sheet combination, each sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination being provided with a projecting marginal tab bearing an indicia designating one of a possible maximum of thirty-one days of a month in descending sequence, on the front face thereof. The next step comprises selectively inserting a selected primary divider index sheet provided with the projecting primary marginal index tab bearing the indicia "THIS MONTH" on the front face thereof, immediately before the index sheet designating the present month. The next step comprises selectively inserting a selected primary divider index sheet provided with a projecting primary index tab bearing the indicia "NEXT MONTH" on the front face thereof immediately before the index sheet designating the next month. The next step comprises selectively inserting the thirty-one-index-sheet combination between the "THIS MONTH" primary divider index sheet and the "NEXT MONTH" primary divider index sheet. The next step comprises selectively inserting a selected primary divider index sheet provided with a projecting primary marginal index tab bearing the indicia "TODAY" on the front face thereof, immediately before the index sheet designating the present day of the present month. The next step comprises inscribing a selected message on at least one of a plurality of selectively-movable, inscribable sheets, each sheet being smaller in size than each of the sheets of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination, and either the selected sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination or the selectively-movable sheet being provided with a coating of a selected adhesive allowing the selectively-movable sheet to be affixed to, and removed from, the sheet of the thirty-one-index combination a plurality of times. The next step comprises affixing the inscribable sheet bearing the inscribed message to a first selected region of a selected sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination designating the present day of the present month or to an optional tertiary sheet associated with the secondary thirty-one-index-sheet combination. The next step comprises, at a later time, removing the inscribable sheet bearing the inscribed message from the first selected region of the selected sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination, or from an optional tertiary sheet associated with the secondary thirty-one-index sheet combination, and affixing the same inscribable sheet bearing the inscribed message either to the reverse face of the "TODAY" primary divider index sheet, or to a selected sheet of the thirty-one-index-sheet combination, or to an optional tertiary sheet associated with the secondary thirty-one-index sheet combination. The next steps involve moving the "THIS MONTH" and the "NEXT MONTH" primary divider index sheets monthly to satisfy the requirements of steps (C) and (D); and (K) moving the "TODAY" primary divider index sheet daily to satisfy the requirements of step (F).

(iii) Other Features of the Invention

The cover may be a loose leaf book which is adapted selectively to hold a plurality of sections, each of which includes a plurality of sheets. Alternatively, the cover may be a cylindrical prong type cover, of the type used as Accounts books. Furthermore, the cover may be of the types known by the trade marks ACCO or DUO TANG. The size of such cover is variable and can range from a wall-chart size to a letter-size or legal-size binder, to a pocket-size binder.

The plurality of sections, and the indexed sheets, may be selected to satisfy the particular needs of many individuals in many professions. They may be assembled to be especially useful in an agenda or registry system, action work book; or a diary or records system, action recorder, log book; or as a wallboard or chart-type system for use as a monthly or yearly calender, as a production chart or as a planning and achievement chart.

When used as an agenda or diary system, the various sections and indexed pages may be selected at will to include many of the following: a removable transaction or accounts payable pouch; a registry section including indexed monthly and daily sheets, namely: twelve narrow sheets respectively bearing the marginal index tabs JAN, FEB, etc. and thirty-one narrow sheets respectively bearing the marginal index tabs 1, 2, 3, etc.; with a wide "THIS MONTH" index sheet being adapted to be moved monthly to a location immediately before the index sheet designating the present month; with a wide "NEXT MONTH" index sheet being adapted to be moved monthly to a location immediately before the index sheet designating the next month; with the narrow thirty-one index sheets always being between the "THIS MONTH" and the "NEXT MONTH" index sheets; and with a wide "TODAY" index sheet adapted to be moved daily to a location within the thirty-one index sheets to such sheet designating the present day; a "RECORDER" section, or diary or log; and a name register in conjunction with alphabetic index markers. In the "THIS MONTH" section the messages, appointments or transactions for particular days of particular months, which are inscribed on the special sheets, are primarily affixed, for later movement to the "TODAY" section. The "TODAY" section may include on the left-hand sheet page, a supply of such inscribable sheets and a calendar of the year and/or month. On the right hand sheet page facing the left hand-sheet, the messages, appointments or transactions for that day, which are inscribed on the selectively-movable sheets, may be attached.

In the "RECORDER" section, the messages, appointments or transactions, which were previously in the "TODAY" section, may be placed, for remainder or for posterity. In the "name register", names and telephone numbers of business associates and/or business cards and/or names and telephone numbers of friends may be placed via the special inscribed sheets or by means of a special adhesive member, i.e. a tape or the double-faced adhesive tabs having a release sheet therein, of the type known by the trade mark KWIK MOUNT self-adhesive tabs, as manufactured for Hutchins and Patrick, Ottawa, Canada., for the business cards.

Additional sections may be included for special disciplines or professions. Non-limiting examples include:

For a salesman, a sales agenda as follows: a "completed" section, for sales or other contract which has been signed; a "pending" section, for awaiting for a prospect to sign a contract, for the purpose of a follow-up: a "later" section for possible future sales or prospects; and an "abandon" section for cancelled items.

For a home budget: a "payable" section; a "paid" section; a "receivable" section; a "received payment" section; and a "miscellaneous" or "loose-ends" section.

For a goal planner: a "life chart" section; a "brain storm" section; a "motivator" section including philosophical and/or inspirational sayings or phrases; a "goals proposed" section; a "goals achieved" section, aa diary log; a "goal activity" chart; and a "goal progress" chart.

In addition, an "auxiliary" or "recorder" book may be provided which may include a chronologically arranged and an indexed or transaction recorder section, (transferred from the "agenda" book); a "goals achieved" section (transferred from the "goal planner book) and/or a name and/or business card posted section, (transferred from the "name registry" section)

The selectively-movable inscribable sheets are preferably those sold by the trade mark POST-IT which includes a minor portion coated with a low-adhesion, pressure-sensitive adhesive so that the sheets may be affixed aand removed a plurality of times. Alternatively, an ordinary sheet or business card may be affixed by means of a double-faced tape and/or tab as described above having both surfaces coated with such adhesive. A single-faced such tape having such weak adhesive is known by the trade mark of MAGIC PLUS removable transparent tape. Still further, the base sheets may be coated with selected areas of such adhesive and then may be covered by a removable backing strip so that inscribed messages and/or appointments and/or business cards may be temporarily affixed thereto.

(iii) Essential Features of the Invention

It is important for the successful operation of the loose-leaf book embodiment of this invention that there be complete visibility of the tabs within each section. Thus, there is a critical interrelationship between the width of the primary marginal index sheets, the secondary marginal index sheets and any blank or lightly printed auxiliary or supplemental base sheets which may optionally be used in a tertiary section.

For example, the primary marginal index sheets may be 87/8" wide, including the tab but only 83/8" wide excluding the tab. The secondary marginal index sheets may be 83/8" wide including the tab, and includes two essential sub-sections, namely

(a) first secondary marginal index sheets (namely thirty-one index sheets representative of the thirty-one possible days of the month)

and (b) second secondary marginal index sheets (namely twelve index sheets representative of the twelve months of the year)

If auxiliary or supplemental base or blank sheets are used in an optional tertiary section, they may be 8" wide and need not include any tabs.

The two essential components may be used for affixation of adhesive-coated sheets and/or the two essential components may be preprinted with various inscriptions.

As noted above, the secondary divider sheets and the base sheets are narrower than the primary divider sheet to provide the essential visibility. Alternatively, the index sheets may use different widths of extended tabs to provide the essential visibility.

The complete rear face of the Dec section, 117 is shown, the pages of that section being omitted for clarity. It also shows the full front face of the primary divider index sheet 118 designating "GOALS ACHIEVED" and the index tab only of the primary divider sheet 120 designating "NAME ROSTER" is also seen on front inside cover 115.

Within the "GOALS ACHIEVED" section are sheets which are adapted to show the progress towards goals. These are not shown in detail since there are many examples of pre-printed pages, but could include a "goal activity chart" and a "goal progress" chart.

FIG. 17 shows the full rear (left-hand) face of one of the sheets 119 within the "GOALS ACHIEVED" section on inside front cover 113. It also shows the index tabs of the previous primary divider index sheets bearing the index tabs "GOALS ACHIEVED" (118) and "RECORDER 1985" (114) on the inside front cover 113, as well as the front face of the primary divider index sheet 120 designating "NAME ROSTER".

FIG. 18 shows the full rear (left-hand) face of the primary divider index sheet 120 designating "NAME REGISTER" as well as the full front face of the first secondary index sheet 121 designating the letter A of the "NAME REGISTER" alphabetic section. The index tabs only of the secondary sheets designating the alphabet "B-Z" are also seen on rear inside cover 115.

In use, as appointments, meetings, schedules, etc, are made or developed, they are inscribed for the one and only time on the POST-IT sheet, and placed in the proper time slot, i.e. the month and day. Each month, the "THIS MONTH" indexed sheet 16 is moved to the current month, e.g. MAY. Each day, the "TODAY" index 17 is moved to the proper day of the month, e.g. 26, and any appointments, meetings, etc. for that day are automatically seen on the right hand sheet.

Once the appointments, meetings, etc. are completed, the sheet bearing the inscribed message for such appointments, meetings, etc. is placed in the appropriate section, i.e. the month and day of the "RECORDER" section. On the other hand, if appointment, meeting, etc is rescheduled, the sheet bearing the inscribed message is placed in the appropriate "NEXT MONTH" section, to be met automatically as the "TODAY" indexed sheet is inserted therein.

The "NAME ROSTER" section is used for the alphabetic placement of names, addresses and telephone numbers which are inscribed on the POST-IT sheets and placed at the appropriate alphabetic indexed section. This section may also be used for the placement of business cards, using an adhesive system, e.g. the KWIK-MOUNT system previously described, at the appropriate alphabetic indexed section.
