  • Patent number: 7370447
    Abstract: A display device comprises a flexible body portion including an upper portion, a lower portion and a base portion. The upper and lower portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the upper and lower portions so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the upper and lowers portion away from one another when in an assembled condition. The lower and base portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion away from one another when in an assembled condition such that the base portion supports the upper portion and the lower portion in a generally upright orientation.

  • Patent number: 7036256
    Abstract: A display device comprises at least first, second and third plates each having forward and rearward surfaces wherein the second plate is rearward of the first plate, and the third plate is rearward of the second plate. A biasing member permits relative movement of adjacent plates between retracted and expanded positions upon pulling the first plate forwardly. The retracted plates are in registration with one another whereby generally only the forward surface of the first plate is exposed for viewing information to be displayed thereon from a position generally forward of the display device. The plates in the expanded position are biased toward the retracted position and oriented such that the forward surface of the first plate, the rearward surface of the second plate and the forward surface of the third plate are exposed for viewing information to be displayed thereon from a position generally forward of the display device.

  • Patent number: 6793188
    Abstract: A book retention device comprises a sleeve for accommodating a book with a binder hole extending therethrough. The sleeve includes a first side cover, a second side cover, and a back cover. The sleeve defines a hole for being placed in registration with the binder hole of the book. A suspending member has a first end for being secured to an external mounting surface, and a second end defining a hole for being placed in registration with the hole defined by the sleeve. The hole of the sleeve and the hole of the suspending member cooperate to permit a fastener to be received through the holes of the suspending member, the sleeve, and the book for securing the book to the external mounting surface and for permitting the sleeve and book accommodated therein to pivot relative to the suspending member in order to adjust the position of the book.

  • Patent number: 6606880
    Abstract: An inflatable container comprises a support wall defining a storage cavity. The support wall includes a flexible material forming at least one air chamber that when full of air or other gas forms a structure for holding ice and other material received within the storage cavity of the support wall. A drainage compartment communicates with a generally lower portion of and is disposed external to the storage cavity defined by the support wall for drawing melted ice away from the storage cavity and into the drainage compartment.

  • Patent number: 6532691
    Abstract: A display device includes a rigid back cover to be attached to a mounting surface. A rigid front cover is positioned in overlying relationship to the back cover for showing product identification information, and a rigid panel is provided having a grip portion and a support portion for holding an information sheet. The panel is between and movable relative to the covers from a retracted position to an extended position. The panel in the retracted position has the support portion underlying and hidden by the front cover and the grip portion projecting outwardly from the front cover for providing access to pull the panel to the extended position. The panel in the extended position has the support portion projecting outwardly from the front cover, whereby the information sheet is hidden by the front cover when the panel is retracted, and the information sheet is exposed when the panel is extended.
