  • Patent number: 6203642
    Abstract: A support device for a computer mouse (mouse pad) comprises, extending over the lower foil made of foam material, at least one thin, colored liquid layer which is enclosed between two foils welded together along the edge in a liquid-tight manner and is visible through the transparent foil or foils. The liquid occupies the available cavity only incompletely and it spreads out in puddle-like patterns to define void spaces which change continuously due to the actuation of the mouse, thereby providing the mouse pad with an optically interesting appearance.

  • Patent number: 4856926
    Abstract: In a sheet binder (1), which consists of a rear cover (2) and a front cover (3) connected with each other by means of a folded spline strip (4), in the area between the rear cover (2) and the front cover (3), a strap (10) is provided in the area of the fold (5), this strap being connected with the binder (1). Prongs (13, 14) extending essentially parallel to the fold (5) are punched from the rear cover (2). The prongs (13, 14) are inserted for the binding of the sheets (15) into holes (16) provided in the strap (10) and then passed with their free ends downward through further holes (17) provided spaced apart from the holes (16) in the strap (10). To simplify the insertion of the prongs (13, 14) in the strap (10), the holes (16) have open through connections (16') toward the free end of the strap ( 10).
