  • Patent number: 10565906
    Abstract: A project display board and base. With side panels folded over a central panel of the project display board, an adhesive panel, which adheres to one of the side panels, is detachably connected to one side panel via perforations and another side panel is detachably connected to the base via perforations. After severing both perforations, the side panels are pivoted to diverge relative to the central panel to allow self-standing upright. The base is then connected to the project display board by inserting base projecting inserts through panel slits of the project display board. The base is then folded along its own creases so as to define top and bottom surfaces that are parallel to each other and define a front surface perpendicular to both. The side edges of those top and bottom surfaces are inclined to converge away from the front surface.

  • Patent number: 10559234
    Abstract: A surface-variable pixilated visual block display system includes a pegboard having a regular array of apertures, arranged in perpendicular rows and columns, and a plurality of blocks, each of which has six faces. A generally square base face is equipped with a central peg having an axis that is normal to that face, and that fits within any of the apertures. The base face is surrounded by four intersecting quadrilateral side faces. A sixth generally rectangular top face, which intersects the side faces, is non-parallel to the base face. It is contemplated that the blocks can be colored differently. Intersecting edges of the faces are preferably radiused and corners of the block are preferably double radiused. Pegboard apertures are spaced so that each block can spin about the peg axis without physically touching adjacent blocks whose side faces are either mutually perpendicular or mutually parallel.
