OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an advertising notebook, i.e. a notebook of the
type which groups a plurality of advertisements, which can generally be accompanied
by coupons which give "discounts" or offer any other type of promotion.
[0002] The object of the invention is to achieve an advertising notebook that satisfactorily
fulfils the basic function for which it has been intended, preventing its rejection
or loss by the consumer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] As is known, the association of different types of professionals with the aim of
reducing advertising management costs is frequent, and at the same time offering a
better service to the possible clients, by means of the sending of advertising notebooks
which group them together and which, consequently, permit any user to gain access
at a specific time to any type of professional which they may need.
[0004] There are different types of notebooks, which range from those that solely include
information, to those which also include discount coupons, or other promotional elements
intended to encourage the consumption of the products or services which they offer.
[0005] These types of notebooks, with optimal theoretical results from the advertising point
of view, do not accomplish the practical result that is desired, and that is due to
the fact that they constitute elements which are difficult to save, so that they are
frequently misplaced, and are therefore not accessible particularly at that moment
when it is required to take a piece of information therefrom.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The advertising notebook proposed by the invention has been devised and structured
to satisfactorily resolve the abovementioned drawbacks, so that it is able to remain
perfectly stored, localized and accessible at all times.
[0007] To do this, and more specifically, the notebook proposed is structured from any conventional
notebook, with any type of information inside, as well as with any normal promotional
element therein, but with the special feature that it is complemented with a plate
of magnetic nature, i.e. with a permanent magnet, which permits the attachment of
the notebook to the door of a refrigerator or to any other metal facing, whereto a
magnet is capable of attaching.
[0008] In this way the notebook in question is attachable to the refrigerator door of a
dwelling, this constituting its habitual place, so that faced with the need to remove
any information therefrom, it is known beforehand where the notebook is located and
this is easily accessible to remove said information.
[0009] From this basic structuring, it is feasible that the magnetic sheet, i.e. the permanent
magnet, is duly integrated in the aforementioned notebook, such as, for example, joined
to the external face of the back cover thereof by means of a suitable adhesive; however,
said magnet could constitute a physically independent element of the notebook, although
it accompanies it in its distribution, which is attachable to said notebook by the
final user thereof, in which case, the adhesive layer for attaching the magnet to
the notebook must be protected by a waxed, silicone or such like, paper sheet, which
is detachable when it comes time for attachment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0010] In order to complement the description being carried out and with the object of helping
towards a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance
with a preferred practical example of embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached
as an integral part of said description, wherein the following has been represented
in an illustrative and non-limitative character:
Figure 1 Shows, according to a perspective view, an advertising notebook carried out
in accordance with the object of the present invention.
Figure 2 Shows a rear perspective view of the same notebook.
Figure 3 Shows, finally, a profile of the notebook of the previous figures.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0011] In view of the figures shown, it can be observed that the advertising notebook proposed
by the invention, like any conventional notebook of this type, is constituted by means
of a cover (1) wherein is housed a plurality of sheets (2), conveniently attached
by means of one or more staples (3), said notebook bearing advertising spaces corresponding
to different advertisers on each and every one of its sheets, with the basic idea
that said notebook stores sufficient information so that, in the face of any contingency
by the person who has it in their power, they can have a professional to the respect
in a moment's time.
[0012] Therefore, the notebook proposed focuses its novel characteristics on the fact that,
preferably on the external face of its rear cover (4), it incorporates, duly attached
thereto, a permanent magnet (5), materialized in a laminar body of little thickness,
which barely affects the general thickness of the notebook, and which permits the
attachment thereof to the door of a refrigerator or any other similar metal element,
as has been previously stated.
[0013] Said plate or sheet constituted by the permanent magnet (5), due to its own dimensions
as regards thickness, hardly interferes in the general thickness of the notebook and
is attached thereto, for example, by means of a contact adhesive (6), although, and
has already been stated above, the permanent magnet (5) can initially be independent
of said notebook and be attached thereto by its final recipient or user.
[0014] The possibility also exists that the entire cover (1) of the notebook is materialized
in the aforementioned permanent magnet, given that the market offers very thin magnets,
of very wide surface dimensions and with a high degree of flexibility, which besides
improving the attachment of the notebook to the refrigerator or metal support, would
permit the maintenance of the perfectly stable closure of the notebook in resting
situation on said refrigerator.
1. Advertising notebook, of the type which incorporates a plurality of sheets, conveniently
bound, bearing information and optionally promotional coupons or such like, characterized in that it incorporates a plate of magnetic nature, i.e. a permanent magnet, which permits
the attachment of said notebook to a refrigerator or to any other metal element of
a dwelling or such like.
2. Advertising notebook, according to claim 1, characterized in that the aforementioned plate of magnetic nature is attached to any suitable place of
the notebook, preferably to the external face of the rear cover thereof, by means
of an adhesive of suitable nature.
3. Advertising notebook, according to claim 1, characterized in that the plate of magnetic nature constitutes a physically independent element of the
notebook, provided on one of its faces with a layer of adhesives for attachment to
the aforementioned notebook, protected by a waxed, silicone or such like sheet of
paper, so that the attachment of the plate to the notebook is carried out after access
is made thereto by the user of said notebook.
4. Advertising notebook, according to claim 1, characterized in that the plate of magnetic nature consists of a thin, flexible, laminar body, which constitutes
the cover of the notebook.
