Abstract: A holographic product with sealed edges which will resist delamination before and after attachment to a substrate when exposed to moisture or abrasion resulting from ordinary usage. The holographic product comprises a transparent abrasion resistant moisture impervious plastic top layer, an adhesive bottom layer, an intermediate reflective surface or layer and a seal along the entire perimeter. The seal is preferably produced by a hot cutting tool.

Abstract: An improved process for cutting and simultaneously sealing the cut edges of holographic materials comprising cutting with a hot cutting tool. Suitable cutting tools include a steel rule die, a hot tipped cutter, and a laser. The resulting product can be attached easily to a substrate and will resist delamination even when attached to a substrate such as a textile material that will be subjected to ordinary washing and drying.

Abstract: A product and process comprising a layered hologram and diffraction grating which will resist deterioration from abrasion and moisture as a separate article of commerce or when attached to a substrate (especially fabrics). Such resistance is accomplished by sealing the edges of the layered product and thereby protecting the embossed surface that produces the hologram image or the iridescent diffraction grating pattern. When attached to a substrate by a moisture impermeable adhesive, detachment from the substrate is also inhibited. The combination of holographic art with a printed graphic is thereby perfected.

Abstract: A small working station for several persons located in a large interior, including a cluster of individually partitioned areas surrounding a central unit supplying controlled air circulation to the areas; the sizes and shapes of the areas and the number thereof being readily adjustable, as needed from time to time; and the areas containing vertically adjustable shelf and desk work surfaces as well as rotatable or extendable article holders for each reach to anyone.

Abstract: A container used for nibbling snack food, including a receptacle and a top cover made of flexible material, the cover having crossing slits forming a circle of tongues which when flexed downwardly by a person's fingers reaching inside for picking up the food, thus form a self-closing dispensing opening through the cover.

Abstract: A kit for singular screen printing on T-shirts, including a carrier loaded with a row of overlapping stencils and a mask for shielding around a printing area.

Abstract: A hologram being adhered to a textile fabric by means of a silk screen printing ink while at the same time printing a graphic on the textile; the ink embedding the hologram edges therein and the ink containing an ingredient to bond with the hologram.

Abstract: An enclosed area, such as a cabinet, having a section for items and also a separate section containing an air circulating system contained within the cabinet.

Abstract: A needlework hoop set including a pivotable loop between opposite ends of the inner hoop; the loop operating with a mechanism that expands the inner hoop against an outer hoop.

Abstract: A pair of interfitting hoops for holding a fabric therebetween during needlework application, and a take-up mechanism on the inner ring keeping the interfit frictionally snug; the take-up mechanism being pivotable from a retracted position to an extended position for hanging on a wall hook or nail and displaying the needlework design applied to the fabric.
