Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention is a notebook-type calendar that can continuously display three months (or more than three months) horizontally.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0002] Normally, calendars are often displayed with two months continuously shown horizontally in wall-mounted, desktop, or notebook types. However, when checking the schedule for March in the January and February calendars, for example, operations such as turning the next page have to be done each time.
[0003] Also, in the above example, there is a problem that it is difficult to imagine the February → March calendars in a continuous form.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] The present invention is designed to be able to continuously display three months (or more than three months) horizontally.
Effects of the Invention
[0005] Stress such as having to turn the next page every time is eliminated, and it has become a format that makes it easy to check the schedule.
[0006] Also, practical usability has been devised. By creating in a format where three months are taken as a single unit, and the three months starting from an odd month (for example, January, February, March) are displayed closer to the right side of the notebook open page, and the three months starting from an even month (for example, February, March, April) are displayed closer to the left side of the notebook open page, it has become a format that is easy to use with few operations without confusion.
Brief Description of the Drawings
[0007] [Figure 1] It is a cutaway view of three months starting from an odd month. [Figure 2] It is a cutaway view of three months starting from an even month. [Industrial applicability]
[0008] This could be used as a new format for stationery, schedule books, diaries, etc.
Claims
[Claim 1] This calendar-style planner allows you to view three months of calendars side-by-side. Furthermore, by unfolding the folds, you can view more than three months side-by-side. The three months starting from odd-numbered months are positioned towards the right side of the spread, while the three months starting from even-numbered months are positioned towards the left side, creating a regular, easy-to-open folding mechanism.
