Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a calendar of the lunar calendar.
Background Art
[0002] A general weekly calendar displays the date, month, and day of the week on a unit sheet in either daily or monthly units, and stacks the unit sheets monthly. When the month changes, it is separated and the next month's display is shown. There are also calendars that are a single sheet for one year. Calendars that display two or three months at the same time have also been devised. For example, in JP-A-53-031420 and JP-A-2016-124169, 12 months are pre-folded and stored in a bellows shape monthly and pulled out every month to display three consecutive months. In Utility Model Registration No. 3151346 and JP-A-2004-017351, the first month of January and the last month of December are glued together to form a ring, and the ring is rotated to display only three months. In Utility Model Registration No. 3099940, two rings of six months are made and rotated. In JP-A-2005-153367, the display part of the end month is folded small and fastened with a clip to enable continuous display of two months. In JP-A-2016-124169, Utility Model Registration No. 63-136960, and JP-A-08-337079, the one-year calendar is folded in a bellows shape without forming a ring and pulled out every three months for display. In Utility Model Registration No. 3090192, it is also a method of connecting the one-year calendar and folding it in a bellows shape, pulling it out every three months for display, and fixing the end month by providing a hook on the upper stage. Prior arts such as removing the end month, moving the presentation location to display three consecutive months, etc. include Utility Model Registration No. 3164858, JP-A-2012-196963, Utility Model Registration No. 3156539, Utility Model Registration No. 3155775, JP-A-2002-103849, Utility Model Registration No. 3043345, Utility Model Registration No. 52-129352, Utility Model Registration No. 51-091054, Utility Model Registration No. 60-060268, Utility Model Registration No. 48-055945, etc., and devices such as providing protrusions and attaching adhesive tapes have been made to make it easy to move and fix the position.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] According to these conventional techniques, in any configuration, either the unit sheets are separated and used one by one functionally, or complicated operations and devices such as winding, peeling off, and folding are required, which do not meet the simple operations required in daily life. Also, in the peeling-off method, there is a drawback that records written in the past months cannot be viewed again. The method shown in Registered Utility Model No. 3090192 is a method of writing memos and schedules, etc., and records remain. However, there is a drawback that the folded bellows bundle slips down when the calendar is suspended vertically. An object of the present invention is to provide a writable 3-month continuous display calendar that eliminates such inconveniences and enables a 3-month display in ascending order of months that are always close from top to bottom.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] To achieve this object, in the calendar described in claim 1 of the present invention, an insertion and clamping clip and a hanging tool are provided at the lower end of the cover, and a plurality of pages are prepared in which the weekly calendars for two months each of January and February, March and April, May and June, July and August, September and October, and November and December, using paper twice the size of the cover, are arranged vertically in sequence. A horizontal crease is provided at the center of each of the plurality of pages to enable folding in half, and a calendar is created in which the upper end of the cover and the upper ends of the plurality of pages are connected by a plurality of rings. Next, the cover is opened, the insertion and clamping clip and the hanging tool at the lower end of the cover are lifted, and the calendar is hung vertically using the hanging tool.
[0006] In this calendar, first, the method starting from December of the previous year as shown in claim 2 will be described. Using the back surface of the cover as the upper section, the weekly calendar for December of the previous year is displayed, and the weekly calendars for January and February connected by the ring become the middle section and the lower section, completing a display in the order of three consecutive months in close succession. When January ends, the center of the page displaying January and February is folded along the crease, the folded part is lifted and fastened with the insertion and clamping clip near the hanging tool, so that the upper section is February, the middle section is March, and the lower section is April, resulting in a continuous display of the weekly calendar. By repeating this, the weekly calendars for three months are always continuously displayed from top to bottom.
[0007] Next, the method starting from January of the new year as shown in claim 3 will be described. This method is used when the December of the previous year is not required. First, the weekly calendar for January is displayed on the back surface of the cover, then the pages for February and March are connected by a ring, and a continuous display of three months including the January on the back surface of the cover is made, with the middle section being February and the lower section being March. When February ends, the center of the page displaying February and March is folded along the crease, the folded part is lifted and fastened with the insertion and clamping clip, enabling a continuous display of the weekly calendar with the upper section being March, the middle section being April, and the lower section being May. By repeating this, the weekly calendars for three months can always be continuously displayed from top to bottom.
Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the attached drawings. Here, an example starting from December of the previous year shown in claim 2 is presented. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which all pages of a continuous weekly calendar are folded and stored behind the cover.

[0014] Based on Figure 1, the features of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 1, on the cover sheet (1) of the continuous calendar of the present invention, there are a plurality of rings (2) upward, and behind the cover, there are a plurality of pages connected in series above and below the weekly calendars for two months each of January and February, March and April, May and June, July and August, September and October, November and December, and they are connected by the ring (2) in a folded state. A hanging tool (3) is installed at the center of the lower part of the cover.
[0015] In FIG. 2, it is a schematic perspective view of a folded portion of a plurality of pages in which the weekly calendars for two months each of January and February, March and April, May and June, July and August, September and October, and November and December are connected vertically, and those sheets are shown in a state of being connected by the ring (2) to the back of the cover as shown by (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) respectively.
[0016] In FIG. 3, it shows a state where the cover is opened so that the hanging tool comes on top, and the entire calendar can be hung by the hanging tool. There is an insertion and clamping clip very close to the hanging tool in this state. On the back surface (11) of the cover, the weekly calendar (19) for December of the previous year is displayed, and the pages (10) for January and February connected by the ring (2) are hanging below it. By doing so, it becomes possible to display the continuous weekly calendar for three months from December of the previous year to February of the new year. Behind the pages for January and February, a plurality of pages for two months each of March and April, May and June, July and August, September and October, and November and December are connected and hanging by the ring (2) as shown by (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) respectively as shown in FIG. 2. Features of the present invention
[0017] It is easy to come up with the idea of displaying the weekly calendar for December of the previous year before January of the new year, but such an example is not seen in a three - month continuous calendar. However, calendar users purchase the calendar not after January but during December. If there is no display for December at that time, they have to wait until January to use the calendar. To solve this inconvenience, in the present invention, the display for December of the previous year is provided, and it is devised so that writing and using a schedule to seamlessly continue into the new year for three consecutive months becomes possible as soon as the calendar is purchased. By this device, it becomes possible to use it continuously for three months across the years of December of the previous year, January, and February of the new year. Among torodan calendars, there are commercially available products that display up to the weekly calendars for January and February of the following year, but in reality, the display for December of the previous year is more convenient.
[0018] If you want to display the weekly calendars for January and February of the following year, it is also feasible with the present invention by adding pages for the display of January and February of the following year.
[0019] If it is not necessary to start from December of the previous year, it is okay to start from January of the new year as shown in Claim 3. In that case, the January part is displayed on the back of the cover, and the display on the subsequent multiple pages also rolls up monthly, but the mechanism itself is the same as the invention of the present application.
[0020] As described with reference to FIG. 4, when January ends, fold the page along the crease in the center of the page on which January and February are displayed, lift it upward, and insert and clamp it into the insertion and clamping clip (17) attached near the suspension tool on the back of the cover. By this simple operation, the weekly calendars for three months, February, March, and April, can be continuously displayed from top to bottom.
[0021] As described with reference to FIG. 5, when March ends, it shows the operation of folding the page in half along the crease in the center of the page on which March and April are displayed, lifting it, and inserting and clamping it into the insertion and clamping clip (17). By this simple operation, the weekly calendars for three months, April, May, and June, can be continuously displayed from top to bottom.
[0022] By repeating the operations shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the present invention has the feature that the weekly calendars for three months are always continuously displayed in the order of adjacent months at any time.
[0023] The creases provided horizontally in the center of each page of a plurality of pages where the displays for two months each, January and February, March and April, May and June, July and August, September and October, November and December, are connected vertically may simply be creased, or may be perforated or otherwise devised so that they can be easily folded.
[0024] Regarding the plurality of rings shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of independent rings may be used, or a connected ring formed by connecting a plurality of rings may be used. Further, the connected ring may be in a state of continuously connecting between the upper end of the cover and the upper ends of the individual pages of the plurality of pages.
[0025] Regarding the <plurality of pages displaying the weekly calendars for two months, upper and lower> shown in claim 1, in the example shown in FIG. 1, it is 6 pages. However, as described above, if it is desired to display the weekly calendars for January and February of the following year, by adding the number of pages for the display of January and February of the following year, the present invention can also display the weekly calendars beyond January of the following year, and in that case, it will be 7 pages. Further, when displaying the weekly calendar for December of the next year as a list, or when displaying advertisements or the like, it is possible by increasing the number of pages. Therefore, it is preferable that the number of pages of the plurality of pages is 6 pages or more.
[0026] FIG. 6 shows a general weekly calendar for one month. In the weekly calendar of the present invention, in order to provide a writing space so that writings such as schedules can be made, it is preferable that the numbers representing the days are small. For that purpose, it is preferable that the number (21) is at the upper left of the day section (20), and further, it is preferable that the area occupied by the number is 1 / 4 or less of the day section (20).
[0027] In the three - month continuous display calendar of the present invention, every two months, the page is folded along the crease (13) and inserted into the insertion and clamping clip (10) provided on the cover, so that the page of the end month also remains in the calendar until the end of the year. By this operation, it becomes possible to accurately and without mistake trace the writing records of past events and the like. This advantage is a merit that cannot be obtained with the type that can be detached. Therefore, claim 4 is that in the three - month continuous display calendar of the present invention, the writing operation and the folding operation bring about a synergistic effect.
[0028] Although writing type calendars have already been put into practical use, it becomes possible to leave writing records by combining the three - month continuous display calendar method and the writing method of the present invention. After one year has passed, by saving the writing calendar, it becomes possible to save records on a yearly basis as annual records. This is an advantage made possible by the combination of the three - month continuous display method and the writing method of the present invention.
[0029] In the present invention, in order to fold the page of the ending month in half and insert it into the insertion - holding clip and maintain that state, a certain degree of stiffness is required for the paper used. If the flexibility is too high, it is difficult to insert it into the insertion - holding clip and there is a problem of sagging, so rigidity is necessary. As a standard, when evaluated with a paper aligned to a width of 2 cm using a general cantilever - type flexibility tester, the paper requires a rigidity of 12 cm or more, preferably 10 cm or more, and more preferably 8 cm or more. In the present invention, a tester of Yasuda Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture) was used, and a paper with a rigidity of 10 cm or more was used to create the three - month continuous display calendar of the present invention.
[0030] The features of the present invention are that the cover part and the papers of multiple pages are connected by a plurality of rings, the character display is suppressed small to enable writing, a seven - day week table for the previous December is displayed on the back of the cover so that the seven - day week tables for three months can be continuously displayed in the order of months closer to the upper, middle, and lower sections from December of the previous year, folding marks are provided in advance at the center of multiple pages every two months, the page of the ending month is folded along the folding marks and put away, an insertion - holding clip is provided for putting away, the paper is made to have rigidity for folding and putting away, and the writing record is left without being discarded by weaving and the review of the record is possible, etc. The combination of these is what characterizes the invention. Although these individual elements have already been shown in the prior art or are devices that can be easily conceived, the feature of the present invention lies in the combination of them.
[0031] Among the prior arts, the method of Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3090192 has a device that lifts and stores the month of completion and leaves a record, which is similar to the present invention. However, in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3090192, since it folds up 12 months in a bellows shape, there is a drawback that when the clasp is loosened, the folded bundle slips off. On the other hand, in the present invention, instead of folding it in a bellows shape, all the papers divided every two months are fixed and connected with a ring and suspended, so it never slips off, and there is a difference in that it overcomes that drawback, which is a new feature. Summary
[0032] Starting from the back of the cover, a calendar is provided that can display a three - month continuous weekly schedule by connecting the pages of the weekly schedule for two months. In the part of the weekly schedule, it is possible to write and display schedules for each day. By folding, inserting, and clamping the paper every two months, the written records until the end of the year are left, and it is possible to accurately trace past events and the like. The present invention can provide a writable three - month continuous display calendar.
