Abstract: A new book has a single fundamental element to be learned by the child (such as a single letter of the alphabet, or a single number, or a single color) on the front cover. The internal pages bear images associated with the element, such as words that are spelled with the letter, or images of products that have the color. Magnetically-attracting elements are included in both the spine of the book and a flap that is attached to a fore-edge side of one of the covers. These elements allow the books to be linked side-by-side. A collection of books can be offered as a set, with a separate book for substantially each of the letters of the alphabet. A child can link the books together to spell words.

Abstract: A display bag for children's products has deformable panels with edges that form an opening that enables objects to be inserted into the bag. A display card adjacent to the back panel extends substantially the entire length and width of a transparent section of the back panel. A flap that is connected to the back panel, near the edge that defines part of the opening, extends across part of the width of the back panel and into the bag, covering a portion of the display card and helping to hold the display card in position.

Abstract: A transparent plastic bag or container which is adapted to be used with different products simply by switching descriptive cards which describe the bag's contents. A system for securing the cards in the bag is disclosed. This is achieved by providing an interior retaining strip along the top of the bag. A system for adhering velcro fasteners to plastic bags by means of zig-zag stitching is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for adhering hook-and-loop (e.g., “Velcro”) fasteners to plastic bags by means of zig-zag stitching is disclosed. The system lessens the likelihood that the fasteners will detach from the substrates or plastic panels to which they are attached.

Abstract: A self-supporting book having a resilient support member which is nested within the book when it is closed. Opening the book causes the support element to project outwardly from the bottom of the book, forming a base for holding the book upright, in a vertical position.
