  • Patent number: 7487999
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a repetitive language kit combined with a series of early reading experiences that facilitate the teaching of reading to pre-readers. The kit is comprised of an assembly of pages that present a photographic site for receiving a personalized photograph and a text site for receiving repetitive and personalized text relating to the photograph as part of a theme. A binder secures the pages between front and back covers and provides movement of the pages through an arc. Cards having repetitive text corresponding to the repetitive text of the pages reinforce and further the reading skills of the pre-reader. The process for creating the book comprises memorializing an experience between a person and pre-reader through photographs, affixing the photographs to the pages of the kit, compiling the pages into a bound book and reading the book to the pre-reader who memorizes and play reads along.

  • Patent number: 6997480
    Abstract: A cord lock device for releasably securing a hinged object in a closed position includes a first cord loop projecting from a first side of a hinged object and a second cord loop projecting from a second side of a hinged object, the first and second cord loops projecting generally towards one another. The second cord loop includes an engagement loop section temporarily formed therein, the engagement loop section being extended through the first side of a hinged object adjacent one end of the first cord loop. The engagement loop section engages one end of the first cord loop, the one end of the first cord loop passing through the engagement loop section such that the first cord loop is intertwined with the second cord loop and thus the first and second cord loops cooperate to generally prevent access to the interior of a hinged object on which the first and second cord loops are mounted.
