(54) A self-adhesive notepaper film


(57) A self-adhesive notepaper film (10) which is used to address the shortcomings of common notepaper including: possible curling and disengagement from attached surface. The self-adhesive notepaper film comprises: paper (11), plastic film (12) and viscous glue (13). The paper is fully mated with the plastic film, and the viscous glue is partially or fully applied to the other surface of the plastic film for the purpose of adhesion. Multiple sheets of the aforementioned self-adhesive notepaper film are overlapped for easy and repetitive access. As the paper is mated with the plastic film, and the elasticity of the plastic film is bigger than the residual stress on the surface of the paper, the self-adhesive notepaper film could be attached firmly on the object without curling.




Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION


1. Field of the Invention



[0001] The present invention relates generally to an improved structure of notepaper, and more particularly to an innovative one which is designed with self-adhesive notepaper film.

2. Description of Related Art



[0002] Notepaper pads, or sets, are known in which a viscous glue is coated onto the surface of common notepaper, and then multiple notepaper sheets are overlapped to form a notepaper set. While tearing the notepaper from the set, the internal fibres of the notepaper will be damaged, leading to possible curling of the notepaper.

[0003] When a sheet of notepaper is torn from the set and attached to an object, the curling notepaper will affect the adhesion of viscous glue, leading to disengagement of the viscous glue from the attached surface due to damage of the fibre.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION



[0004] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a self-adhesive notepaper film, which could prevent curling or disengagement from a surface to which it has been attached after tearing from a notepaper set and/or to provide an alternative to existing products.

[0005] Technical means are adopted to design a self-adhesive notepaper film which comprises: paper, plastic film and viscous glue. The paper is fully mated with the plastic film, and the viscous glue is partially or fully applied to the other surface of the plastic film such that the viscous glue is used for adhesion and the paper for writing. A complete single self-adhesive notepaper film is formed in this way. Multiple sheets of self-adhesive notepaper film are overlapped to form a self-adhesive notepaper film set of economic applicability. When tearing a single self-adhesive notepaper film from the set, the minor damage and curling of the notepaper could not lead to curling effect of the self-adhesive notepaper film, and the self-adhesive notepaper film can be attached firmly onto object since the paper is mated with the plastic film, and the elasticity of plastic film is bigger than the residual stress of paper.

[0006] The features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS



[0007] 

FIG. 1: an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention;

FIG. 2: a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention;

FIG. 3: a sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention; and

FIG. 4: a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention that multiple sheets of self-adhesive notepaper film are overlapped.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION



[0008] FIG. 1 discloses an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention, wherein a single self-adhesive notepaper film 10 comprises: a sheet or layer of paper 11, plastic film 12 and viscous glue 13. As is known in the art, the paper sheet is a fibrous material comprising cellulose fibres typically obtained from wood, although as is known, other vegetable sources such as, for example, cotton, esparto, flax and hemp are also used.

[0009] Firstly, the plastic film 12 is mated with the paper 11, then the viscous glue 13 is applied to the other surface of the plastic film 12, thus forming a brand new self-adhesive notepaper film 10.

[0010] FIG. 2 discloses a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention, wherein the paper 11, plastic film 12 and viscous glue 13 are implemented as per aforementioned modes, so as to obtain a complete self-adhesive notepaper film 10.

[0011] FIG. 3 discloses a sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention. The self-adhesive notepaper film 10 is a composite of layers comprising the paper 11, plastic film 12 and, taking the plastic film 12 as its centre, the paper 11 is attached on its upper surface and the viscous glue 13 is applied on its lower surface. No stress damage occurs due to the absence of fibre tissue of the plastic film 12. As the residual stress on the surface of the paper 11 is much smaller than the elasticity of the plastic film 12, the self-adhesive notepaper film 10 can be attached firmly on an object without curling when it is torn from a notepaper set and attached on any surface.

[0012] FIG. 4 discloses a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of the self-adhesive notepaper film of the present invention, wherein multiple sheets of self-adhesive notepaper film 10 are overlapped so as to form a complete self-adhesive notepaper film set from which the sheets can be torn to realize economic benefits for the users.

[0013] The above is a detailed description of the technical features of the present invention based on a typical preferred embodiment. However, it should be appreciated that the present invention is capable of a variety of embodiments and various modifications, and all such variations or changes shall be embraced within the scope of the following claims.


Claims
