Abstract
Abstract A device for mounting a writing pad structure having dual faces on opposite sides, comprises a frame structure having parallel members which may be inserted in a folder or compendium. A transverse member is connected between the parallel members and slides along the length thereof. The writing pad structure is hingeably mounted on the transverse member such that the writing pad structure can be turned over to expose either face thereof, the transverse member sliding along the parallel frame member, to permit writing to take place on the exposed face. The writing pad structure remains substantially within the zone defined by the parallel frame members.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure having respective faces on opposite sides thereof, the device comprising a support structure having first and second elements spaced parallel to define therebetween a zone for receiving the writing pad structure, a transverse member connected between said spaced elements and for sliding motion along the length thereof, and mounting means for the writing pad structure hingeably mounted on the transverse member such that the writing pad structure can be turned over to expose either face thereof when the mounting means is displaced hingeably about the transverse member and the transverse member slides along the first and second elements, whereby the writing pad structure can be moved between respective positions substantially within the said zone for permitting writing to take place on the exposed face.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
132 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure having respective faces on opposite sides thereof, the device comprising a support structure having first and second elements spaced parallel to define therebetween a zone for receiving the writing pad structure, a transverse member connected between said spaced elements and for sliding motion along the length thereof, and mounting means for the writing pad structure hingeably mounted on the transverse member such that the writing pad structure can be turned over to expose either face thereof when the mounting means is displaced hingeably about the transverse member and the transverse member slides along the first and second elements, whereby the writing pad structure can be moved between respective positions substantially within the said zone for permitting writing to take place on the exposed face.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 1, in which the first and second parallel spaced elements are in the form of a pair of parallel wire frames which may be fitted to a compendium, or any flat surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which a pair of struts connect respective ends of the frame elements, the struts being affixed in to the compendium, or flat surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
84 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which the frame elements are connected by means of one strut at corresponding ends of the frame elements, and a U-shaped wire frame depends from the other corresponding ends of the frame elements (with or without the addition of a strut connecting these other ends), the U-shaped wire frame being capable of insertion into a pocket of a compendium thereby providing a frame structure removable from the compendium, or flat surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which the whole frame structure is integrally formed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which the whole frame structure is formed from lengths of wire suitably welded together.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
55 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which the transverse member for sliding motion connected between the spaced elements is in the form of a wire strut having rings attached at either end, the rings being mounted on each of the respective spaced elements to allow sliding motion therealong.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 7, in which the rings are welded to the wire strut.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 7, in which the strut and rings are integrally formed from a single wire piece.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which the writing pad structure is a dual pad structure, having writing pad surfaces on both sides thereof in a head to toe arrangement.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which a hinge structure for hingeably mounting the pad structure on the transverse member is formed integrally with the pad structure.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
52 words
A device for mounting a writing pad structure according to claim 2, in which a hinge structure for hingeably mounting the pad structure on the transverse member is formed from a separate structure comprising a card which is folded around the transverse member and to which two pads may be removably mounted.
