DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring now in detail to the drawings for the purpose of illustrating preferred embodiments of the present invention, the wall and desk calendar display device 10 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, comprises a basic panel 11 covering a color vinyl cover sheet 12, a hanger hole 13 disposed in the center of a color vinyl top portion 14, a transparent vinyl front cover 15 extending from a transparent vinyl top cover 16, a pair of both transparent lower corner pockets 17 for locking a pair of both end corners 18 of the front cover, and a transparent back pocket cover 22 for forming a back pocket 21 so as to inserting a memory enhancing sheet 23 thereinto. Also, the back pocket cover 22 has a slot portion 30 for easily handling the memory enhancing sheet 23.

After the front cover 15 is opened, a calendar pad 20 such as a plurality of successive calendar sheets is inserted into the top cover 16 and the pair of both lower corner pockets 17. Thereafter, the front cover 15 is closed and the pair of both end corners 18 are easily inserted into the pair of both lower corner pockets 17 since the pair of both end corners 18 have a gradually reduced side configuration 19, respectively. Then each of the plurality of successive calendar sheets 20 has imprinted thereon indicia 24, for example, representative of the name of year, month, day-dates, and an advertisement 25 as shown in FIG. 5.

Accordingly, the calendar display device 10 including the calendar pad 20 is used as a desk calendar and the user may record current and near future events of transient significance on the space in the vicinity of each day-dates or the transparent vinyl front cover 15. Also, if necessary, the other calendar sheets 20 can be recorded after taking out the lower ends of the calendar sheets 20 from the pair of both lower corner pockets 17, respectively. The transparent vinyl top cover 16 forms a pocket for tightly inserting the upper ends of the calendar pad 20 thereinto. Furthermore, it is easily showed the name of year, month, week, and the advertisement 25. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the front cover 15 may be folded at a line of the name of week when the front cover 15 is opened.

The hanger hole 13 of the calendar display device 10 is vertically supported the same on any convenient hook or similar suspending means. Therefore, the calendar display device 10 including the calendar pad such as the plurality of successive calendar sheets 20 is used as a wall calendar and the user may record current and near future events of transient significance on the space in the vicinity of each day-dates or the transparent vinyl front cover 15.

The calendar display device 10 further includes a decorative line 26 disposed between the top portion 14 and the top cover 16, many kinds of decorations 28 disposed on edges of transparent vinyl members of the front cover 15, the back pocket cover 22, and both corner pockets 17. Also, the calendar display device 10 further includes a color vinyl decoration 29 disposed on edges of the basic panel 11 and a pair of hole side decorations 27 disposed on both side portions of the hanger hole 13.

The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included in the scope of the following claims.
