My invention relatesfto calendar making,-l a-nd more'specifically` to an improved method; by which calendars comprising pendent leaves Awith exhibitionsin serial'order on cor- ,5 responding faces of the leaves may be madeV in an economical and facile manner;

For illustration of the practice'of thein'- vention,4 I will refer to the production of cerf ltai-n calendars, making reference to diagrams 10 shown in the accompanying drawings; these diagrams and the description with reference thereto being exemplary of methods embodying the invention. i A 'In said drawings: Fig. l'is adiagram ofa sheet'prepared for use in making a'calendar of twelve leaves to" exhibit calendar tables for the twelve months of the year on the fronts'of the leaves;

Fig.y 2 is a perspective view of a completedv Fig. 3 is a diagram of a sheet for making a calendar of eight leaves including front and back covers and having exhibitions in serial order on the fronts ofthe leaves andrin "25T continuing serial order on the backs of the leaves when the calendar isreversed and the y leaves are turned over from back to front ;V

Fig. 4: is a diagram of asheet similar to Figi d l prepared for making a two year calendar. In a method embodying my invention, a calendar is made up by imposing vcalendar page exhibitions,comprising or including exhibitions of calendar tables,.fo`n a sheetv in an arrangement whereby the sheetk can be 85 folded between the exhibitions so asvto'term'inate with a final saddle fold of superposed parts of the 'sheet and with the exhibitions vertical and headed toward the saddlefold y v and in serial orderor properV sequence on corf responding faces ofthe successive layers-of the folded sheet, or partly in serial order `'on the fronts of said layers and the remainder in continuing reverse serial order `on the 45 backsof said layers; then folding the sheet as aforesaid, stitching or binding along vthe saddle fold, and cutting or trimming fthe;`

folded sheet along the fold lines other than at the saddle fold; A complete finished caiaendar may be made up `in this wayfrom a" or reverse 'side of uch for printed sheet and fastening devices s instance as'two stitches or staples.

dor' exam-ple, I will first refer to an illustrative method of producing a calendarof twelve pendentfleaves having exhibitions comprising tablesfor the successive months of the year 'appearingin serial order on the frontsffpof the successive leaves; 'For produc lar calandar, .which remaining exhibitions are for convenience Ymerely diagrammatically. ,in

i dicated Symbols 'comprising abbreviations ornames 'of the successive months of the yearlj -1Lxhibitions on the obverse or front side `ofthesheet are represented by symbols in full" line's' ,`,andjexhibitions on the opposite y y the sheet are indicated .byv symbols in dotted lines.A f The shee'trepresentedinFig..l may be 0011-' sidered as comprisingwon eachside twelve page Jspaces 'bounded by the margins and imaginarylines herein indicatedV by the dash aiiddot'llines'I-l, Q /2, Qaa, 3-3, StL-3a,

and %Li,"whichrareuntended foldy lines ofthe sheet. Itwill be observed that theobverse or front 'sidevof` the sheetbears the calendar` v exhibitions comprising the tables vfor the a1- ternate months of January, March, `May,"

July,fSeptember and November, which oc-r cupyf alternate page spaces on the sheet. "All the exhibitions are arranged vertically with respect `to the horizontalfold line ii-4, the exhibitions above the line being therefore in vertedV with respect tothose below the line. The `exhibitions above t'hehorizontal liner are'in staggered or checkeredrelation to thos'e'below `the line, or inother words the exhibitions ofeither side of the Vhorizontal fold line come opposite-the blank spaces-at the 1 opposite side of the Vline. 0n the opposite or reverseside'p-of the sheet are imposed the ex# A hibitions comprising calendar tables .for the posite the blank spaces of the front or obverse made so that the leaf portion 5 ofi the sheet side of the sheet. The sheet is intended to be folded as aforesaid with a final saddle fold by which the first or January table will ap; pear on the front of the folded vsheet superposed on theother tables,`and the order in which the various exhibitions are imposed on particular way in which the sheet is to be folded on the vertical fold lines before-folding on the horizontal fold line to produce the saddle fold. i

as illustrate-d, will be folded first byv doubling or folding the sheet on the central vertical fold line 1`-l, this fold being made in such a and' registering fold .lines 3v-8 and fia-.39; f

the fold on the lines 2-'-2 and 2al being is turned to the left and brought 'facedownward on the leaf portion Gof the shee'tlbear'- ing theMay calendar table; whilethefold on theV registering-fold lines 3-43 'and' 5a-3a is made in the opposite direction so that thel leaf portion 7 of thesheet bearing the J anuvary table is turned to the back.A This brings all the sheet illustrated in Fig. `1 superposed on the areas occupied by the leaves 7 and `8. 'A Vfinal fold is then made by cross-folding on the horizontal line lf-4: in such direction as to leave the leaf portions? VVand 8 exposed or on the' outside. VThe sheet thus folded 40 will have itsexhibitions'inserial order onjcorrespondingV faces of superposed layers or leaf portions of the .folded sheet. Thel folded sheet may be bound at saddle fold, as for example by a pair of stitches or staples uniting thesuperposed parts of the folded sheet. In y the diagram injFig.` l, l have indicated by dots at 41 andby crosses at 42 the points Vwherethe Vright and left-'hand kstaples will f A perfora. f tion at may be made through all the layers of the folded' sheet vadjacentY the stitched respectively pierce the paper.

saddley fold to provide a Yconvenient means for suspending the calendar, the f Various duced ,a calendar vsuch as shown in Fig. 2,-

comprising twelve pendentleaves provided* by six saddlerfolded sheets which `are sub-l points for the perforations being indicated in thediagrani -atj50. All the edges Aof the folded calendar sheet may be trimmed except at the saddle fold. There will thusbeV pro` to they back` of; the calendar, In Fig. f2, the

, central vertical'fold line l-,l in a direction l The sheet, havingtheexhibltions imposed.

stitches or staples at the saddle fold are in# dicated at 4l and 41h.

The principle explained may be applied, for example, to the production of a calendar of only eight leaves including front and back covers and having twelve pages of calendar tables', for instance tables for the twelve months of, the year, by utilizing both sides of the sheet'.` For the production of such a calendar, I may impose the page exhibitions on alsheetias indicated by the diagram of- Fig. 3. This sheet comprises eight page spaces on each side, and is intended to be folded therebetween first by folding on the to bring the'left-hand half of the .sheety under the right-hand half` ofthe sheet, then` folding the doubled sheet on the registered foldlines 2 2 and 2-2a in a direction to superpose the cover'portions 9 and l0 onthe rest of the` sheet, and then cross-folding the super posed parts of the sheet on'the horizontal fold line'll-Vvina direction to leave the .cover sheet portions l9 and 10 exposed or on theloutside, so thatthe front cover leafportionv) is superposed'ontherest of the sheet. It, will be observed that the first/half" of theexhibitions (comprising the front Vcover exhibition, the tables for January to nJune inclusive, and the exhibition, if any,`onthe inside of the back cover) are imposed on alternate spaces ori-'opposite sides of the sheet, in an'arrange-` ment generally similar to,that.explained.With referenceV to Fig, l. Thus, Aon' .the sheet in VFig. 3,".the exhibitions comprising the front cover pageand the January, February and March tables occupy alternate leaf portions of the sheet belowthehorizontal fold line g' the .front cover page and February table appearing on alternate spacesontheobverse or front side of the sheet, andthe January andfMarchtab'les appearing on the oifsetj 'alternate'.spaces on the opposite or. reverse side ofthe sheet. VAbove the horizontal fold Y line, the exliibitionscomprising the April, May and June tables and the exhibitions, if.l anyon the outside .of the .back cover simil larlyfoccupy alternate leafv portions of the sheet thefAprilV and June tables being onV the obverse side of the sheet and the others.

on the reverse side. Onthe obverse side orl` frontof the sheet', the said exhibitions com-f prising the front cover .page and February table below the horizontal fold line are staggered in relation to the said exhibitions comprising'the'April and June tables above the horizontal fold liner; [and likewise on the reverse sideof the sheet the J anuaryrandlf VMarch tables are on spaces staggered or checkered. in relation 'to the 'spaces occupied Y bythe MayV table andinside page of the back cover. The secondhalf of the calendar pages (comprising the outside of the back cover,

; the tables for July to December inclusive, and the exhibitions, Vif any, on the insideY ofthe .i1-.acatar sheet on the next adjacent leaf portion theref of; and so on as indicated in the: drawing. In Fig. 3, the points at which the stitches or staples will connect the superposed portions tions made in the folded sheet or completed calendar will be in the secured leaves, are indicated by the numerals 41, 112 and 50 in the same manner as in Fig. 1. TWhen theV sheet of Fig. 3 is folded in the manner heretofore stated, stitched along the horizontal fold line and cut along the vertical fold lines, there is produced a calendar ofeight leaves, l provided by four stitched saddle folded sheets whichare subdivisions of the original sheet, the exhibitions of which are in'sequence half on the frontsof the calendar leaves and the remaining half on the backs of the lea-ves In other words, after turning over the leaves from ront to back to display succes sively the tables for January to June inclusive, the calendar may be reversed and the leaves turned successively from bach to front to display successively the tables for July to December inclusive.

In Fig. 4, l have diagrammatically indicated how a sheet similar to that shown in Fig. 1 may be pre-pared by utilization of all the page spaces for making up a calendar having a continuing series of exhibitions in reverse order on the backs of the leaves, in accordance with the principle embodied in the calendar made up from the sheet of Fig. 3. The sheet. represented in Fig. 4 is prepared 1 for making up a twelve `leaf calendar which will serve for two years, `With a reversal of the calendar at the end ofthe first year, the tables for one year being in serial order on the fronts of the leaves and the tables for the next year being in serial order on the Abacks of the leaves commencing at the back. F or example, the sheet is printed with page exhibitions comprising monthly calendar tables for the years 1928 and 1929. IThe sheet of Fig. 3 is identica-l with the sheet of Fig. 1 in respect to the page spaces, intended fold lines and mode of folding, and with respect l to the arrangement and order of the monthly tables for one year, in this instance the year 1928. On the page spaces'on both sides of the sheet alternating with those occupied by the 1928 tables, the y1929 tables are imposed. rlhe orderof the 1929table'is of course reversed; the January i929 table being opposite the December 1928 table, andthe other .1929 tables being as indicated.

What I claim is: i

l. A method ofproducing a calendar comsuccessive calendar Vprising:leaves and having exhibitions in- .cluding calendar tables 1n serial @order yon corresp oriding--l lfaces of successiv leaves,

VchairacterizedEby providing asheetbfa ver 'ti al dimension'suilicient' for theY lengths Tof ,.1 .tvv-'o .individual leaves and of a horizontai diinens'ion suicient for the Widths of .half the numberof leaves,l imposing said exhibitions half on one side and half on the -,opposite;side '-iofithe sheetV in twozhorizontal rows of; verh of the folded sheet, and at which the perforaiside instaggered positions at opposite sides 1, o irhe'inedial horizontal' line of the sheet and ,iti-sh the exhibitions arranged with' their heads toward 'said medial'horizontalline and in suchpositions and order Aas to bring thei-n in sequence en correspondingfacesof successive laps ofthe sheet when folded as here'- y inafter mentioned, folding 'the sheet vertically between the exhibitions and thenl crossh folding thexsame on ysaid `medial horizontal line, cutting the foldedsheet along the 'vertical fold 'lines `and stitchiiig the folded por y tions ofthe sheet together along-the horir/.ontal fold line, "thereby producing :stitched ddle folded sheets comprising subdivisions of the original sheet aiid'fornjiing a collection oftl pendent leaves having upright exhibit-ions serial order on the corresponding faces of successive leaves. f

E2. A method of producing'a calendar comprising leaves and having exhibitions including calendar tables in serial order on corresponding faces of successive leaves, Vwhich is characterized by providing a sheet having a length dimension substantially equal to the length of an individual leaf multiplied by an even number, folding said sheet a plurality of times on lines between the exhibitions to terminate with a final saddlefold perpen-l dicular to the length dimension, imposing said exhibitions on the sheet before foldingy in the positions necessary to bring them after folding into the desiredsequence on corresponding faces of successive leaves with their heads toward said` saddle fold, cutting the folded sheet alongthe fold lines .other than the saddle fold,and binding the saddle fold, thereby producing a bound collection of saddle folded sheetscomprising subdivisions of the original sheet andproviding the said leaves and having the said exhibitions in serial order on the corresponding faces of the successive leaves and headed toward the binding ofthe leaves. Y

3. A method of producing a calendar comprising leaves and having exhibitions including calendar tables in serial order on corresponding faces of successive leaves and reverse faces of successive leaves, characterized kby providing a sheet of a vertical dimension sufficient for they lengths of two individual leaves and of a horizontal dimension sufficientv gli Y sides of the medial-horizontal line v'of the-sheet l vfor thefvvidths-of half'the number of leaves,`

imposing said exhibitionsv on the opposite side of the sheet in vertical positions at oppowith the heads of the exhibitions toward said line,' half of the exhibitions being'im'- posedlac'cording to claim lV in such positions and order as to bring them in sequence on corresponding faces of successive layers of the -sheet When folded as hereinafter mentioned and the remaining half being similarly im# posed in the alternating positions andV in such order as to bring them in a reverse sey Y quence on the reverse sides of said layers of f the folded sheet,V folding the sheet on the vertical lines betvve'enthe exhibitions and then cross-folding the same on said'medial horizontal line, cutting the folded sheet along the vertical fold lines and stitching along the horizontal fold line, thereby producing Y stitched' saddle folded `sheets comprising subdivisionslof vthe original sheet and forming a collectionof pendent leaves'with upright exhibitions half in serial order onithe fronts v of the leaves and the remaining lhalf in reverse serial order on thebacks of the leaves.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to. this specification.
