Appeal No. 98-2036
Application 08/589,250
Drake discloses a record pad which is described in the
following terms:
A record book or pad is manufactured with record
sheets 2 and removable sheets 1 disposed in pairs.
Image transfer element is provided for transferring
manuscript notes 7, 7a from sheet 1 to sheet 2 in a
pair. Each removable sheet 1 has a line of weakness
5 whereby a portion 1a of that sheet can be torn
from a spine part 3 of the book or pad. Each
portion 1a has on its underside surface a region 9
of low tack adhesive by which that portion can be
attached temporarily to a receptive surface remote
form the book. The low tack adhesive is preferably
applied as a strip 8 with a width sufficient to
extend from the spine part of each removable sheet
1, over the line of weakness 5, to provide the
region 9 on the removable portion 1a [Abstract].
With further regard to the location of the low tack
adhesive, Drake teaches that
it is preferred that the low tack adhesive is
applied so that it extends as a strip along a
marginal edge part of each removable sheet and which
marginal edge part comprises the spine part and that
the strips of low tack adhesive are of sufficient
width to extend from the spine part, over the lines
of weakness and on to the respective removable sheet
portions to form the regions of low tack adhesive on
those portions. By this arrangement, the low tack
adhesive along the spine part of the removable
sheets assists in binding these sheets to their
respective immediately underlying record sheets.
