Abstract: Enclosed is a connecting apparatus for a cartridge of a learning device for connecting a cartridge having software to a main body of the learning device. When a user only rotates the cartridge to a supporting frame direction in such a condition that the cartridge is inserted, a connector supporting holder having the connector moves to an upper direction. Accordingly, a printed circuit board of the cartridge connects to the connector exactly. Consequently, the connecting failure between the cartridge and the connector can be prevented and the inserting and withdrawing operation of the cartridge are easily executed because the inserting and withdrawing operation of the cartridge are executed before and behind the connecting operation of the connector.

Abstract: A clip for securing cut sheets of image bearing medium to a notebook or picture book is provided that has an inverted U-shape. The clip is made of an elastic material that has a latch on either end to attach to a cavity in either a notebook, picture book, or similar device. The clip can be made symmetrically so that it can be operated while in a reversed orientation. By producing the clip as a detachable piece, repairs to a picture book become trivial because one can discard the broken clip and simply replace it without needing to discard the entire picture book. Furthermore, this type of paper binding means is ideal for children and the handicapped as the clips can be made of low enough rigidity to enable them to be simply operated, while reducing the odds of accidents resulting from sharp edges or metallic parts. Manufacturing efficiency is increased because the clips and the notebooks can be produced separately and sold disconnected.
