First Claim
1. A bulletin board upon which objects are to be secured for display, comprising:
- a support backing having a first predetermined length dimension as defined between an upper edge portion of said support backing and a lower edge portion of said support backing, and a first predetermined width dimension as defined between opposite side edge portions of said support backing; and
a tablet mounted upon said support backing and comprising a single stacked array of a plurality of sheets, wherein each one of said plurality of sheets is substantially the same size as said support backing, except for at least one marginal area defined between at least one edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets and at least one of said upper, lower, and opposite side edge portions of said support backing, in that each one of said plurality of sheets has a second predetermined length dimension which is substantially the same as said first predetermined length dimension of said support backing such that an upper edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets is disposed within the vicinity of said upper edge portion of said support backing while a lower edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets is disposed within the vicinity of said lower edge portion of said support backing, and a second predetermined width dimension which is substantially the same as said first predetermined width dimension of said support backing such that opposite side edge portions of each one of said plurality of sheets are disposed within the vicinity of said opposite side edge portions of said support backing; and
wherein further, each one of said plurality of sheets has adhesive material coated upon a first side thereof, a second side of each one of said plurality of sheets is non-coated, and said adhesive material is characterized by means of a predetermined tack level which is sufficiently strong such that objects can be adhered thereto, throughout the expanse of each one of said plurality of sheets as defined by said second predetermined length dimension and said second predetermined width dimension, so as to be displayed upon said bulletin board when the adhesive-coated side of an outermost one of said plurality of sheets is exposed, and yet said plurality of sheets can be individually separated from each other when a new sheet of said plurality of sheets is to be exposed so as to serve as a fresh outermost one of said plurality of sheets upon which objects are to be adhered for display upon said bulletin board.

Abstract
A new and improved bulletin board comprises a rigid support or backing member, and a tablet comprising a stacked array of adhesive-coated sheets, mounted upon the rigid support or backing member, wherein each one of the adhesive-coated sheets is adapted to have various different objects, such as, for example, notices, memos, notes, bills, pens, pencils, coupons, or the like, adhered thereon. By forming the bulletin board so as to comprise the plurality of adhesive-coated sheets, an exposed adhesive-coated sheet, whose tack level has degraded with time, may simply be removed from the tablet or stacked array of adhesive-coated sheets so as to expose a new or fresh adhesive-coated sheet which can now be used to again securely adhere objects upon the bulletin board.

-
providing a support backing having a first predetermined length dimension as defined between an upper edge portion of said support backing and a lower edge portion of said support backing, and a first predetermined width dimension as defined between opposite side edge portions of said support backing; and
mounting a tablet upon said support backing wherein said tablet comprises a single stacked array of a plurality of sheets, wherein each one of said plurality of sheets is substantially the same size as said support backing, except for at least one marginal area defined between at least one edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets and at least one of said upper, lower, and opposite side edge portions of said support backing, in that each one of said plurality of sheets has a second predetermined length dimension which is substantially the same as said first predetermined length dimension of said support backing such that an upper edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets is disposed within the vicinity of said upper edge portion of said support backing while a lower edge portion of each one of said plurality of sheets is disposed within the vicinity of said lower edge portion of said support backing, and a second predetermined width dimension which is substantially the same as said first predetermined width dimension of said support backing such that opposite side edge portions of each one of said plurality of sheets are disposed within the vicinity of said opposite side edge portions of said support backing; and
