Abstract

This application refers to a notebook comprising sheets from which an ink marking can be easily erased, and its use.

The notebook comprises at least two sheets of matte coated cardstock with a grammage range of 300 gr. to 500 gr., either printed or not, with front and back gloss plasticizing. The process of plasticizing uses a temperature range of 95 to 120°C.

From a practical point of view, the notebook now released may be used as a notepad, booklet or small agenda with blank, lined, checkered sheets, music staves, sports fields' drawings, such as football, basketball or any other sport activity or even tailored to each customer's needs.

Description

Technical Field

This application refers to a notebook and its use.

Background for the invention

The existence of notebooks is known by the state of the art, as booklets formed by an undetermined number of folded and sewn paper sheets.
These notebooks are useful for anyone to make drafts or take notes, but in particular they can be used for students to carry out consolidation exercises and take notes in class, for creative people to draft their projects, for holding brainstorming sessions, for children to learn how to write, to draw and to develop their skills, for coaches to study and give tactics to their players, for musicians to write their songs, for cooks to create their recipes.
However, these notebooks are not reusable, seeing that, after taking notes, it is not possible, in an easy and practical way, to erase the ink from the notebook, unlike the notebook now released.

Summary for the invention

This application describes a notebook comprising at least two sheets of matte coated cardstock with a grammage range of 300 gr. to 500 gr., with front and back gloss plasticizing.
In one embodiment, the sheets of matte coated cardstock used in the notebook are glossy.
In another embodiment, a correctable-type pen is used to write in the notebook.
This application also describes that in the notebook production process, the plasticizing stage is carried out at a temperature range of 95 to 120°C.
This application describes the use of the notebook as a notepad, booklet or small agenda with blank, lined, checkered sheets, music staves, sports fields' drawings.

General Description

This application refers to a notebook and its use.
Thus, the technical problem solved with the notebook here presented is to enable broad reuse ability, with the ink being very easily erased from the notebook, and the writing becoming very smooth.
The notebook comprises at least two sheets of matte or glossy coated cardstock with a grammage range of 300 gr. to 500 gr., either printed or not, with front and back gloss plasticizing, for the inner side. The process of plasticizing uses a temperature range of 95 to 120°C.
For writing in this book, any correctable pen may be used, preferably a black and/or red one.
During the development of this technical solution, numerous resistance and durability tests were carried out to the sheets, so that the notebook would be reusable and lasting.
After those analyses, it was possible to conclude that if the paper had less grammage, when cleaning the sheets, they could tear up, and the desired result would not be achieved. Thus, the ideal grammage was found to avoid the said situation and, also, while writing, the sheets do not show any marks after being erased.
Despite using a range of different class materials, the notebook is entirely recyclable.
From a practical point of view, the notebook now released may be used as a notepad, booklet or small agenda with blank, lined, checkered sheets, music staves, sports fields' drawings, such as football, basketball or any other sport activity or even tailored to each customer's needs.

Description of embodiments

Now, some embodiments will be described in a more detailed way, which however are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
This application refers to a notebook comprising at least two sheets of matte or glossy coated cardstock with a grammage range of 300 gr. to 500 gr., either printed or not, with front and back gloss plasticizing, for the inner side.
