  • Publication number: 20080289159
    Abstract: The inventive concept is an identification clip that is made of a flat plastic material and formed into a U-shaped form. One of the legs of the U-shape has a flat outer surface to place indicia thereon either in writing or in a decal form. The other leg of the U-shaped form has lateral corrugations thereon to enhance the friction force when the clip is applied to a bundle of materials. Both of the legs of the U-shaped form are diverging from each other toward the U end. This will enlarge the loading capacity of the clip. The U end of the clip has a longitudinal bulge on its outer surface to increase the tensioning of the clip as the clip encounters heavier bundles. The open ends of the both legs of the U have upturned edges thereon to make it easier when applying the clip to any object. That object may be a bundle of fabric folded upon itself in several layers or it may be a stack of fabrics or papers etc.

  • Patent number: 6775075
    Abstract: The invention discloses a magnifying assembly that may be clamped on printed sheets or pages in a book. The assembly consists of two part. One part is an elongated magnifying glass having a flat bottom and half circle shape top. The other part is a holding element that has a receiving cage at one and an extending flat section adjacent the cage. The magnifying glass is inserted into the cage to be held therein. The magnifying glass may slide in the cage to change the size of the assembly. The friction between the bottom of the magnifying glass and the holding element is increased by providing an upstanding friction knob at one end of the holding element, by providing an upstanding friction knob on a flexible element intermediate the one end and the cage and by angling the cage relative to the flat section. thereby, by pushing the magnifying glass into the cage the flat bottom of the magnifying glass will force the cage and the flat section into a straight line.

  • Publication number: 20040061038
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a support for a pattern in front of a person in the process of doing embroidery work. This process involves a two-handed process will doing embroidery or other work while at the same time displaying the pattern from which the work at hand progresses. To this end, there is a support to display the pattern in substantially the eye sight of the person doing the embroidery. The support may clamped to an arm chair of an upholstered piece of furniture at home or the upper thigh of a leg when the upholstered piece of furniture is not available such as in the waiting room of a physician or others. The support device can be clamped to a substantially circular structure and carries a display device for a pattern of the work in progress. The support device has either a flexible support rod or one that is rigid. In either case the hands of the person performing the task of embroidery or other work are free to move at will.

  • Patent number: 6398087
    Abstract: The invention is directed toward an embroidery and aid assembly that is made up of a plate having an aperture therein. A magnifying glass is mounted over the aperture and maintained over the base plate at a slight spacing so that an embroidery pattern can slipped under the magnifying glass and over the base plate. The bottom of the magnifying glass has a sight line thereon so that a reader can clearly see the stitch progression and clearly identify a particular line on the pattern in the process of stitching. The bottom plate has various ways of retaining embroidery implements thereon, thus making it an assembly, while the magnifying glass is an aid to the embroidery process. A bag is designed to contain the above noted embroidery assembly, thus making it kit. The bag has on one edge thereof a hook to hang the bag at a point of sale. Another edge of the bag has a zipper thereon, while the opposite edge of the zipper edge has a pocket fold thereon to enable the bag to expand to a larger size.
