Frame calendar

Abstract

A frame calendar system. It comprises a frame assembly having a frame window. A portion of this frame window is covered by a transparent plate. A stack of calendar sheets each having a calendar date table and a calendar picture can be loaded into this frame assembly. The calendar picture is shielded and displayed behind the transparent plate while the calendar date table is exposed to facilitate memorandum writing and page turning without opening the frame assembly. A custom picture can also be loaded and displayed in lieu of the calendar picture. A spring clamp and magnets are disclosed for allowing a calendar sheet having only the calendar date table to be mounted on and removed from the frame without opening the frame assembly.

The invention having thus been described, the following is claimed:  
     
         1 . A calendar system capable of displaying a picture, comprising: 
 (A) a calendar having a calendar date table,    (B) a frame assembly having 
 (a) a frame window,  
 (b) a transparent plate, with its area substantially smaller than that of said frame window, placed behind said frame window for covering a portion of said frame window, and leaving the remaining portion of said frame window as an uncovered portion, and  
 (c) supporting means for simultaneously 
 (i) supporting said picture in said frame assembly and displaying said picture through said transparent plate, and  
 (ii) supporting said calendar in said frame assembly and exposing said calendar date table through said uncovered portion of said frame window whereby memorandum writing on said calendar date table can be achieved without disassembling said frame assembly.  
 
   
     
     
         2 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a spring for urging said picture toward said transparent plate.  
     
     
         3 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a backing plate.  
     
     
         4 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a stud for holding said picture.  
     
     
         5 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a stud mounted on said transparent plate for holding said picture.  
     
     
         6 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a spring clamp for supporting said calendar in said frame assembly without disassembling said frame assembly.  
     
     
         7 . The calendar system of  claim 1  in which said supporting means include a magnet for supporting said calendar in said frame assembly without disassembling said frame assembly.  
     
     
         8 . A calendar system comprising: 
 (A) a calendar having a calendar picture and a calendar date table,    (B) a frame assembly having 
 (a) a frame window,  
 (b) a transparent plate, with its area substantially smaller than that of said frame window, placed behind said frame window for covering a portion of said frame window, and leaving the remaining portion of said frame window as an uncovered portion, and  
 (c) supporting means for supporting said calendar in said frame assembly and 
 (i) for displaying said calendar picture through said transparent plate, and  
 (ii) for exposing said calendar date table through said uncovered portion of said frame window whereby memorandum writing on said calendar date table can be achieved without disassembling said frame assembly.  
 
   
     
     
         9 . The calendar system of  claim 8  in which said calendar having 
 (a) a calendar picture sheet having said calendar picture, and  
 (b) a calendar date table sheet having said calendar date table.  
 
     
     
         10 . The calendar system of  claim 9  in which said supporting means include a stud mounted on said transparent plate for 
 (i) dividing said transparent plate into a center area and a border area, and  
 (ii) holding said calendar picture sheet and displaying said calendar picture through said center area of said transparent plate.  
 
     
     
         11 . The calendar system of  claim 9  in which said supporting means include a stud mounted on said transparent plate for 
 (i) dividing said transparent plate into a center area and a border area, and  
 (ii) holding said calendar picture sheet and displaying said calendar picture through said border area of said transparent plate.  
 
     
     
         12 . The calendar system of  claim 11  in which said supporting means also include a spring for urging said calendar picture toward said border area of said transparent plate.  
     
     
         13 . The calendar system of  claim 9  in which said calendar picture sheet also has a border picture surrounding said calendar picture.  
     
     
         14 . The calendar system of  claim 13  in which said calendar picture and said border picture are separated be a perforation line.  
     
     
         15 . A vertically positioned calendar system, capable of displaying a custom picture, comprising: 
 (A) a calendar sheet having one calendar date table and one calendar picture, and    (B) a frame assembly having 
 (a) a frame window,  
 (b) a transparent plate, with its area substantially smaller than that of said frame window, placed behind said frame window for covering a portion of said frame window, and leaving the remaining portion of said frame window as an uncovered portion, and  
 (c) supporting means for supporting said calendar sheet and said custom picture in said frame assembly, and for displaying said calendar sheet and said custom picture in the following two displaying modes, one mode at a time: 
 (i) first displaying mode: simultaneously displaying said calendar picture through said transparent plate, and exposing said calendar date table through said uncovered portion, and  
 (ii) second displaying mode: simultaneously displaying said custom picture through said transparent plate, and exposing said calendar date table through said uncovered portion.  
 
   
     
     
         16 . The calendar system of  claim 15  in which said supporting means include a stud.
