Abstract: A dispensing structure (102) for dispensing sheets, such as notes (106) or flags, that is adapted to be removably coupled with a support structure. A dispensing assembly comprising a stack (104) of sheets, such as notes or flags, and the dispensing structure. The dispensing structure comprises: a first clamping member (118) defining a first end (120) and a second end (122); a second clamping member (146) pivotally coupled to the first clamping member, the second clamping member defining a third end (148) and a fourth end (150), the second clamping member comprising: abase plate (152) defining an aperture (154); a retention element (182) laterally spaced apart from the base plate to define a space (184) therebetween, wherein a stack of a plurality of sheets are disposed within the space; and a plunger (200) slidable within the aperture of the base plate; and a biasing member (218) connected to the first clamping member proximate the first end thereof and to the second clamping member proximate the third end thereof, wherein the biasing member is adapted to bias the second end and the fourth end of the first and second clamping members, respectively, towards the support structure for coupling the dispensing structure with the support structure. The retention element (182) includes a first plate (186) and a second plate (188) longitudinally spaced apart from the first plate such that a slot (190) is defined therebetween, and wherein at least one of the sheets of the stack is adapted to pass through the slot.

Abstract: A notepad includes multiple sheets that are arranged into a stack. Each sheet has a first major face, a second major face, and a perimeter edge at which each of the first and second major faces terminate. The notepad also includes an adhesive disposed on a portion of the second major face of each sheet such that the portion of the second major face of each sheet releasably adheres to a corresponding portion of the first major face of an underlying sheet. The portion being disposed with the adhesive lies adjacent to a portion of the perimeter edge of a corresponding sheet for forming a releasably bonded side of the stack. Also, the stack is twisted about a common central axis of the sheets present therein such that the notepad has a spiral shape.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a retrofit sensor module for use with a protective head top with a helmet and a visor. The sensor module includes a sensor housing and an attachment mechanism. The sensor housing encloses a head presence sensor to sense when the protective head top is being worn. The sensor housing also encloses a position sensor to sense the position of the visor relative to the helmet. The retrofit sensor module further comprises an attachment mechanism secured to the housing. The attachment mechanism mates with a first hinge component of a hinge assembly in the protective head top to removably install the sensor module into the protective head top, wherein the hinge assembly allows the visor to move relative to the helmet.
