  • Patent number: 7527219
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for storing gift wrapping articles comprising: a hollow cylindrical body having open end portions and defining an inner surface and an outer surface between the open end portions; a pair of annular flanges extending radially outward from the outer surface at the open end portions; and a centerpiece disposed circumferentially along the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical body. The centerpiece comprises a central recess, and a plurality of cut out channels extending radially from the central recess to the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical body to form a plurality of truncated pie-shaped sections. The hollow cylindrical body is capable of holding multiple layers of a first gift wrapping article (multiple layers of ribbon) on the outer surface between the annular flanges. The truncated pie-shaped sections are flexible enough for removably receiving a second gift wrapping article (a wrapping paper roll) through the central recess.

  • Patent number: 7476832
    Abstract: A mounting system comprising at least one mounting assembly is disclosed. A mounting assembly is used to mount at least one solar panel. The mounting assembly includes a support base, a rotating base, a first motor assembly, a solar panel base and a second motor assembly. The rotating base is mounted on the support base and rotates about its vertical axis by the help of the first motor assembly, which is disposed between the rotating base and the support base. The solar panel base is coupled to the rotating base through a set of links, which transfers the rotation of the rotating base to the solar panel base. The second motor assembly is disposed on the rotating base and it provides a tilting movement to the solar panel base, which enables solar panel base to tilt at a plurality of angle from the horizontal surface of the rotating base.
