Abstract

A desktop stationery set includes a body, a tape dispenser, at least one lighting element and a switch. The body has an insertion slot for holding memo sheets. The tape dispenser is located on the body to cut and dispense an adhesive tape. The lighting element and the switch are located in the body and are electrically connected to each other. The switch is exposed to the insertion slot. When a memo sheet is inserted into the insertion slot, the switch is triggered to activate the lighting element to generate light to provide an alert function.

Claims

1. A desktop stationery set having an alert function, comprising:

a body having an insertion slot for holding a memo sheet;

a tape dispenser located on the body for holding a reel of adhesive tape and cutting the adhesive tape;

at least one lighting element located in the body; and

a switch located in the body connecting electrically to the lighting element and exposed to the insertion slot such that insertion of the memo sheet into the insertion slot triggers the switch to activate the lighting element to generate light to achieve the alert function.

2. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the switch is a touch switch.

3. The desktop stationery set of claim 2, wherein the touch switch includes:

a first conductive blade connecting electrically to one electrode of the lighting element; and

a second conductive blade connecting electrically to another one electrode of the lighting element such that when the memo sheet is inserted into the insertion slot the first conductive blade is compressed to connect the second conductive blade to activate the lighting element to generate light.

4. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the touch switch is a conductive blade which has a first connecting section and a second connecting section, the first connecting section being connected electrically to an electrode of the lighting element, the memo sheet being inserted into the insertion slot and the memo sheet depressing the conductive blade, the second connecting section connecting electrically to an electrode of the lighting element, the lighting element emitting light.

5. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the switch is a photoelectric switch.

6. The desktop stationery set of claim 5, wherein the photoelectric switch includes:

a transmitter located in the body to emit a second light; and

a receiver located in the body to receive the light such that when the memo sheet is inserted into the insertion slot the second light is blocked from reaching the receiver to determine whether the lighting element to be activated to generate the light.

7. The desktop stationery set of claim 6, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are located on a same side of the insertion slot.

8. The desktop stationery set of claim 6, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are located on different sides of the insertion slot.

9. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the body further has a tape holding trough, the tape dispenser including:

a tape bracket located on the body above the tape holding trough to hold the reel of adhesive tape in the tape holding trough;

a cutter seat located on the body; and

a cutter located on the tape cutter.

10. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the body is made from a transparent material.

11. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the body further includes at least one pen housing for holding pens.

12. The desktop stationery set of claim 1 further including a lamp shade to couple with the lighting element, the lamp shade having a prism structure to disperse the light generated by the lighting element.

13. The desktop stationery set of claim 1 further including a circuit board located in the body to hold the lighting element, the switch being connected electrically to the lighting element through the circuit board.

14. The desktop stationery set of claim 1, wherein the lighting element is a light emitting diode.
