  • Patent number: 7475505
    Abstract: A notebook-like display device includes a mounting panel, or pair of conjoined panels, mountable to a wall, a pair of guide brackets, and a set of display leaves, the leaves being mounted to the support brackets and manipulated by a demonstrator and like personnel with one hand, in a flipping manner, freeing the user's other hand to perform tasks related to use of the display device. The panels and leaves are generally planar, rectangular, and substantially rigid, such as of a high density polymer, composite, or fiberboard. The leaves are constrained by retention elements, received in the support brackets, for movement between first and second positions, respectively, wherein the leaf is revered but in superposed generally parallel relation with one and the other side of the panel and other of the leaves. Magnets or other holding devices operate between the leaves and panel(s) to retain the leaves in each position.

  • Patent number: 5318734
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for making thin panels having a urethane core and hinges for interconnecting them. A frame is secured to a support bed, and a sheet of paper is placed inside the frame into overlying relation to the bed. Plural board members are then placed inside the frame so that they overlie the peripheral borders of the sheet of paper and so that they are held in position by the frame. Tubular members are positioned in bores formed in the board members so that they extend into the area bounded by the extrusion members, and the innermost end of the tubular members are taped over to prevent foam intrusion. A second sheet of paper is then placed over the frame and a rigid top plate is lowered into overlying relation to the second sheet of paper so that the frame is sandwiched between the bed and the top plate. Foam is then injected into the cavity defined by the board members and the sheets of paper through a port formed in a board member.
