Abstract

Abstract A record keeping system comprises (1) a multiple sheet assembly including a label with an adhesive backing and registration means including an adhesive backed flap and (2) a master ledger sheet for recording a plurality of entries. The multiple sheet assembly is used with the master ledger sheet by securing the flap of the assembly to the back of the master ledger sheet in proper registration so that information provided on the label assembly will simultaneously be transferred to the master ledger sheet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 188 words
A record keeping system comprising, in combination: at least one master ledger sheet having a front and a back surface, the front surface being divided into a plurality of portions for receiving a like plurality of record keeping entries, said ledger sheet including indexing means corresponding to each of said portions; and at least one label assembly comprising first and second sheets, registration means for cooperating with said indexing means and including a flap for cooperating with said ledger sheet so as to superimpose said first and second sheets over a select one of said portions of said ledger sheet, said first and second sheets being detachably secured to one another so as to maintain said sheets in a superimposed relationship, said assembly further including pressure responsive duplicating means for transferring information from said first sheet to said second sheet and to said ledger sheet, said flap being detachably secured to one edge of at least one of said sheets and including means for securing said flap to said back surface of said ledger sheet so as to maintain said registration means in registration with said indexing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 188 words
A record keeping system comprising, in combination: at least one master ledger sheet having a front and a back surface, the front surface being divided into a plurality of portions for receiving a like plurality of record keeping entries, said ledger sheet including indexing means corresponding to each of said portions; and at least one label assembly comprising first and second sheets, registration means for cooperating with said indexing means and including a flap for cooperating with said ledger sheet so as to superimpose said first and second sheets over a select one of said portions of said ledger sheet, said first and second sheets being detachably secured to one another so as to maintain said sheets in a superimposed relationship, said assembly further including pressure responsive duplicating means for transferring information from said first sheet to said second sheet and to said ledger sheet, said flap being detachably secured to one edge of at least one of said sheets and including means for securing said flap to said back surface of said ledger sheet so as to maintain said registration means in registration with said indexing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 68 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said first sheet includes an adhesive coating on the back of said sheet, said assembly further including a third sheet disposed between said first and second sheets, said third sheet being treated on its front surface so as to be releasable from said adhesive coating of said first sheet and treated on its rear surface with said pressure responsive duplicating means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said first, second and third sheets each include a margin, said margins being secured together to maintain said first, second and third sheets in a superimposed relationship, said first and second sheets each including a portion removable from the corresponding margin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 76 words
A system according to claim 3, wherein said indexing means includes indicia indicative of a select one of said portions of said ledger sheet and said registration means includes an aperture through one or more of said first, second and third sheets positioned so as to expose select indicia of said indexing means through said aperture when said assembly is superimposed over said select one of said portions of said ledger sheet corresponding to said indicia.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
A system according to claim 4, wherein said aperture extends through the margins of said first, second and third sheets.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 72 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said second sheet further includes said pressure responsive duplicating means on only a portion of the rear surface of said second sheet, so that information written on one area of said first sheet will be transferred through said third and second sheets, while information written on another area of said first sheet will be transferred through said third sheet and not through said second sheet.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 79 words
A system according to claim 6, wherein said assembly includes a fourth sheet disposed between said third and second sheets, said fourth sheet including an area on its front surface for recording information written in said one area and said another area, and wherein said pressure responsive duplication means is on the back surface of said fourth sheet so as to transfer information written in said one area and said another of said first sheet to said second sheet.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 221 words
A pharaceutical record keeping system for providing permanent records of prescriptions filled, at least one receipt and a label for a prescription package, said system comprising, in combination: at least one master ledger sheet having a front and a back surface, the front surface being divided into a plurality of portions for receiving a like plurality of record keeping entries said ledger sheet including indexing means corresponding to each of said portions; and at least one multiple-sheet label assembly comprising at least two superimposed sheets, one of said sheets having at least a removable portion having an adhesive backing for securing said portion to said prescription package and the other of said sheets including at least a portion removable from said assembly so as to provide said receipt, said assembly further including pressure responsive duplicating means for transferring information from one of said sheets to the other of said sheets and to said ledger sheet, and registration means for cooperating with said indexing means and comprising a flap for cooperating with said ledger sheet so as to superimpose said sheets over a select one of said portions of said ledger sheet, said flap including means for detachably securing said flap to said back surface of said ledger sheet so as to maintain said registration means in registration with said indexing means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 221 words
A pharaceutical record keeping system for providing permanent records of prescriptions filled, at least one receipt and a label for a prescription package, said system comprising, in combination: at least one master ledger sheet having a front and a back surface, the front surface being divided into a plurality of portions for receiving a like plurality of record keeping entries said ledger sheet including indexing means corresponding to each of said portions; and at least one multiple-sheet label assembly comprising at least two superimposed sheets, one of said sheets having at least a removable portion having an adhesive backing for securing said portion to said prescription package and the other of said sheets including at least a portion removable from said assembly so as to provide said receipt, said assembly further including pressure responsive duplicating means for transferring information from one of said sheets to the other of said sheets and to said ledger sheet, and registration means for cooperating with said indexing means and comprising a flap for cooperating with said ledger sheet so as to superimpose said sheets over a select one of said portions of said ledger sheet, said flap including means for detachably securing said flap to said back surface of said ledger sheet so as to maintain said registration means in registration with said indexing means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 70 words
A system according to claim 8, wherein said assembly further includes a third sheet superimposed with and disposed between said two sheets, said third sheet being treated on one side so as to be releasable from said adhesive backing of said removable portion of said one sheet, and treated on its other side and said pressure responsive duplicating means so as to transfer and record information to said other sheet.
