Abstract
A memo block in the present invention is composed by a pile of notepapers. In a proper section near the fore edge of each notepaper is provided with predetermined designs or advertisement. The fore surface of the memo block is cut by a predetermined mode from the first page to the bottom page so as to form a wavy surface, and then the fore surface is pushed backward by a paper-regulating machine to form a proper slope. The rear surface of the memo block is also form a same slope with that of the fore surface. The rear outward slope is cut off to be a vertical plane surface, and then the rear plane surface is glued to form a spine. Thus, the designs or advertisement of he memo block can gradually change paper by paper and have the genuinely vivid and solid advertising effects because of the wavy and oblique fore surface.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a memo block with slant and wavy fore surface, more particularly to a memo block which is provided with predetermined designs or advertisement on the wavy fore surface so as to have the effects of being solid, vivid and attractive.




2. Description of the Related Art




Referring to

FIG. 1

, a conventional memo block


100


is composed by a pile of notepapers


101


, and in a proper section


102


near the fore edge of each notepaper


101


is provided with predetermined designs or advertisement. The rear edges opposite to the proper sections


102


of the pile of notepapers


101


are fixed together by glue to form a spine. The proper sections


102


near the fore edges of the notepapers


101


are obliquely cut from the first page


103


to the bottom page


104


to form an outward oblique surface


105


so as to make the designs or advertisement gradually change paper by paper and look vivid and solid.




However, the above-mentioned prior art of the memo block is found to have following defects:




1. The fore edges of the conventional memo block are cut to form an outward oblique surface (about 45 degrees) but it can only have the plane effect and can not present the solid effect.




2. While the mentioned conventional memo block being spread out, the displaying effect makes not so much difference from that of a spread-out common memo block.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a memo block which can substantially obviates the defects of the related conventional memo block.




An object of the present invention is to provide a memo block which is provided with a wavy fore surface so as to make the predetermined designs or advertisement look genuinely solid and vivid.




Another object of the present invention is to provide a memo block which can display a solid, vivid and attractive outlook while the memo block being spread out to form a semicircle so as to achieve the advertising effect and have visual sense of beauty.




To achieve these advantages, the present invention provides a memo block, which is composed by a pile of notepapers. In a proper section near the fore edge of each notepaper is provided with predetermined designs or advertisement. The fore surface of the memo block is cut by a predetermined mode from the first page to the bottom page so as to form a wavy surface, and then the fore surface is pushed backward by a paper-regulating machine to form a proper slope. The rear surface of the memo block also forms a same slope with that of the fore surface. The rear outward slope is cut off to be a vertical plane surface, and then the rear plane surface is glued to form a spine. Thus, the designs or advertisement of the memo block can gradually change paper by paper and have the genuinely vivid and solid advertising effect because of the wavy and oblique fore surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS




Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.




Referring to

FIGS. 2

to


9


, a preferred embodiment of a memo block in the present invention is composed by a pile of notepapers. Predetermined designs or advertisement are provided in the fore section


11


of each notepaper. The fore section


11


of the memo block


10


is cut by a predetermined mode


20


from the first page


12


to the bottom page


13


to form a wavy surface


14


. Then, the fore section


11


is pushed backward by a paper-regulating machine


30


to form a proper slope A (about 45 degrees), and thus the rear surface


15


of the memo block


10


also forms a same slope B with the slope A of the fore section


11


. After the protruding portion of the slope B of the rear surface


15


being cut off by a mode


20


to form a vertical plane surface C, the plane surface C is glued to form a spine. Therefore, the memo block with a slant and wavy fore surface is finished so as to make the predetermined designs or advertisement look genuinely solid, vivid and attractive.




While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.



Claims
