Abstract: Decorative structures comprising a flexible sheet-like member simulate universal conceptions of the appearance of floating and fixed ghosts. A structure for simulating a universal conception of the appearance of a floating ghost comprises a flexible sheet-like member draped over a support member, such as a balloon, to form a composite structure. The composite structure is suspended from a support structure to simulate the appearance of a floating ghost. A decorative structure for simulating a universal conception of a fixed ghost comprises a support bag member having a filling therein, and a flexible sheet-like member placed over the support bag member and having facial indicia simulating an appearance of a face of a ghost thereon. The free ends of the sheet-like member are secured to the ground at spaced apart positions, to provide a generally inverted conical shape, so that the resultant structure can flutter when subjected to wind or the like.

Abstract: A garage door cover assembly for use on an exterior surface of a garage door of the type having a plurality of door panels permitted to rotate relative to each other when the garage door moves from a closed position to an open position is provided. The garage door cover assembly includes a plurality of horizontal cover panels and, for each cover panel, fixing members to couple the panel to a garage door panel. The cover panels are provided with fanciful holiday, seasonal, or other celebratory indicia. The indicia on the panels together form a composite illustration. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover panels are made from a flexible, waterproof polyethylene.

Abstract: A garage door decorative cover assembly for use on an exterior surface of a garage door made of a plurality of door panels permitted to rotate relative to each other when the garage door moves from a closed position to an open position includes at least one flexible cover panel, a fixing component, and a weighted holding mechanism. The flexible cover panel has a first end, a second end, a front surface and a back surface. The fixing component fixedly attaches the first end of the cover panel to the surface of the garage door, and the weighted holding mechanism couples the second end of the cover panel to the surface of the garage door such that the cover panel is coupled to the garage door is in both open and closed positions. The weight of the holding mechanism maintains the cover panel in a taut state whether the garage door is open or closed. The cover panel is provided with fanciful holiday, seasonal, or other celebratory indicia.

Abstract: A spider-like decorative structure comprising a main bag member having a filling therein, and made of flexible material. A plurality of elongated bag-like tubular members, each having a filling material therein, are arranged adjacent the main bag member at spaced apart locations around the periphery of the main bag member so as to extend from the main bag member. The main bag member simulates the appearance of a body portion of the spider-like decorative object, and the leg members simulate the appearance of legs of the spider-like decorative object. The legs may be connected to the main bag member at the portions which are adjacent the main bag member, and the free ends of the legs are preferably connected to the ground or other support structure for the spider-like decorative object. A support member is provided for raising an articulated intermediate portion of each of the leg members to further simulate the appearance of bent legs of a spider-like decorative object.

Abstract: A rotatable organizer includes a container having a circular flat bottom, a circumferential cylindrical side wall secured at the outer periphery of the flat bottom, and a plurality of compartments formed on the flat bottom and within the side wall; a main pivot nub formed centrally on the flat bottom for rotatably supporting and spacing the container from a support surface; and a plurality of spaced apart, off-center support nubs on the flat bottom in surrounding relation to the pivot nub for raising the flat bottom off of the surface during rotation of the container and for reducing the area of contact of the rotatable organizer with the support surface during rotation thereof, the support nubs being positioned on the flat bottom in at least one concentric circle with the main pivot nub at the center of each the concentric circle, so as to reduce the area of contact of the rotatable organizer with the support surface and to provide an air cushion between the undersurface of the bottom wall and the support su

Abstract: A desk set with integrally formed swivel clamping means which can be injection-molded without use of a cam-action mold. The swivel clamping means comprises four semicylindrical clamping members (28) inclined toward each other to form a socket for a ball (26) attached to an accessory support stem (24) for holding a pen (30), a clock (32), or the like. To increase friction between the ball (26) and the socket, the socket clamping members (28) each include an inwardly pointing lip (46) and the surface of the ball (26) is covered with alternating slots (38,42) and ridges (40,44).
