Abstract: A liquid powered assembly including a housing; a removable bottom base; a seal; an electrolyte battery assembly; and, a liquid powered device. The housing includes an upper end portion and a lower end portion. The housing has a volume therein for containing an electrolyte solution. The lower end portion has a fluid inlet. The removable bottom base is removably attached to the lower end portion of the housing. The removable bottom base has a bottom surface for supporting the liquid powered assembly. A seal engages the housing and the removable bottom base for providing fluidic sealing engagement therebetween. An electrolyte battery assembly is positioned within the housing. A liquid powered device is operably attached to the electrolyte battery assembly. To provide operation, the housing and the removable bottom base are detached relative to each other and the housing is turned substantially upside down to allow filling of the housing via the inlet.

Abstract: A USB device for a ring binder includes a main body including a first and a second opposing substantially planar surface so as to be easily accommodated in a ring binder. The main body has a cavity formed therein. A USB element is positioned within the cavity of the main body. A narrow flanged portion extends from the second planar surface of the main body. The narrow flanged portion includes a plurality of spaced openings extending therethrough. At least one of the openings is so sized to provide access to selected rings of a ring binder.

Abstract: A notebook insert that includes a housing including a first rigid substantially flat plate having a first set of a plurality of spaced holes formed therethrough a first side thereof. The first set of holes is adapted for engagement with the rings of a ringed notebook. The first rigid flat plate further has a second set of a plurality of spaced, stepped holes formed therethrough a second side thereof. The housing further includes an opening in a central portion thereof and a plurality of spaced hinges. The hinges are located on a side edge of the central portion defined by the opening. A second rigid plate has a first side hingedly connected via the spaced hinges to the first rigid plate. The second plate has a shape substantially matching the shape of the central opening so when the second rigid plate is in a stowed position it may be supported within the central opening. The second plate includes spaced projections formed on an upper surface thereof.

Abstract: The attachment apparatus includes a thin functional assembly and a clip assembly. A first portion of the thin clip assembly is rotatably, or alternatively slideably connected to the thin functional assembly. A clip portion of the thin clip assembly, which is connected to the first portion, provides attachment to a checkbook cover.

Abstract: A combination book and storage assembly which includes a book having a substantially flat portion thereon and a storage apparatus securely attached to the book. The storage apparatus includes a rigid plate securely connected to the flat portion of the book and a storage assembly connected to the rigid plate. The storage assembly has two opposed surfaces for receiving at least one selected item positioned therebetween.

Abstract: A ringed notebook or ringed binder and having spaced grasping arms. The glue stick assembly includes a cylindrical housing assembly with an outer diameter in a range of between 0.38 and 0.58 inches. The cylindrical housing assembly is securable by spaced grasping arms of the storage apparatus. A glue stick is positioned within the cylindrical housing assembly. The glue stick assembly enhances the modular characteristics of the storage apparatus.

Abstract: A thin appointment timer that can be easily incorporated with the user's organizer ensemble. It includes a housing, a keypad assembly, an indicator assembly, an electronic assembly, and an alarm system. The housing supports the keypad assembly. The keypad assembly includes a touch sensitive membrane with a plurality of depressible keys, each key representing a pre-programmed particular time that may be selected by pressing it's associated key. The indicator assembly is supported by the housing and includes at least one circular portion having a plurality of illuminatable regions which are presented thereon as spaced clock positions. Each position corresponds to a pre-programmed time and is illuminatable in response to the depression of a depressible key. The electronics assembly is contained within the housing and is in electrical communication with the keypad assembly and the indicator assembly. The alarm system is also supported by the housing and is a portion of the electronics assembly.

Abstract: An organizer assembly for removable attachment to a host ringed notebook or ringed binder having a plurality of rings. The ringed notebook or ringed binder is of the type having a front cover and rear cover with looseleaf pages positionable therebetween, the looseleaf pages having smaller perimeters than the covers. The organizer assembly includes an organizer insert assembly attachable to the rings of the ringed binder or ringed notebook. The insert assembly assembly includes a relatively thin plate member having a side edge. The insert assembly further has a terminal section thereon which depends from the side edge and extends beyond the perimeter of the looseleaf pages. The terminal section has an increased thickness so as to fill a portion of a void between the front and rear covers.
