Abstract: A guidance channel radiating from each side of clip holding chamber centered on a flat plate. A prying tool slideably and rotatably held within each guidance channel by a spring strip. A split ring held snugly within the holding chamber. The tool tips are forced between the split ring coils, which are separated further by simultaneous rotation of the prying tool handles 90-degrees in opposite clock directions. A pellet placed inside folded bag material forms a bump. The material with bump is placed between the separated coils into the split ring interior. Reverse 90-degree handle rotation partly closes the coils around the bump. Withdrawing the prying tools completely allows the coils to fully close, capturing the pellet-containing material. Tool stops prevent the tool tips from entering the split ring interior too far into or away from the clip holding chamber. Suspension of the tool and bags facilitates production.

Abstract: A handheld programmable sign including a sign portion and a hand-grip portion mounted transverse to said sign portion and a keyboard/microprocessor mounted in the hand-grip portion for receiving input data and transmitting the input data to the microprocessor,. At least two display screen units are mounted as representing the sign portion including display screens for displaying the input data to observers, the screen units being foldable relative to one another between an operative open planar mode and an inoperative closed mode wherein the two screens are in parallel facing relationship. In the open mode the display screen units present input data electrically contained therein to an observer. In the inoperative closed mode the first and second display screen units are in a fully aligned parallel folded relationship and no data is transferred to an observer. A computer microprocessor/memory unit and a serial port wired thereto are optionally positioned in the hand-held portion.

Abstract: A hand-held programmable sign comprising a hand-grip portion and a sign portion having opposed front and rear sides and including an upper sign portion and a lower hand-held portion rotatably mounted to the sign portion midway transverse to the sign portion in the in-use mode. The hand-grip portion can be rotated between the in-use mode and a locked storage mode when the hand-grip portion is rotated into overlapping relationship with the sign portion. A keyboard system with a miniaturized keyboard processor including keys marked with indicia for letters of the alphabet, numerals, and other selected indicia is mounted on the hand grip portion for operator input. The sign includes a miniaturized computer microprocessor for processing input data received from the keyboard. A miniaturized light-emitting message display, preferably an LED display, is mounted on the front side of the sign portion for reading by an observer.

Abstract: A device for increasing comfort for a human in the sitting position that includes a unitary seat cushion having right and left side cushion portions for supporting the right and left innominate bones, respectively, of a user. Each right and left cushion portion has horizontal top and bottom walls that are separated by vertical distances, one of the vertical distances is preselected to be greater than the other vertical distance by a preselected distance that generally ranges between 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch.

Abstract: A portable programmable sign comprising a unitary T-shaped housing having opposed front and rear sides and including an upper sign portion and a lower hand-held portion mounted midway transverse to the sign portion. A keyboard system with a miniaturized keyboard processor including keys marked with indicia for letters of the alphabet, numerals, and other selected indicia is mounted on the hand grip for operator input. Operating keys are also mounted on the keyboard. The sign includes a miniaturized computer microprocessor for processing input data received from the keyboard. A miniaturized light-emitting message display, preferably an LED display, is mounted on the front side of the sign portion for reading by an observer. An electrical circuit in the housing joins the keyboard system, computer microprocessor, and the light-emitting message display are joined by an electrical circuit in the housing and which can be internally or externally powered.

Abstract: A ring display system for showing rings on a shelf of a showcase. The display system comprises a support structure, which includes a first flat surface having a first plurality of ring slots for mounting a first plurality of the rings and a second flat surface angled relative to the first flat surface and having a second plurality of ring slots for mounting a second plurality of the rings. The support structure is movable between first and second display positions, the first display position being when the first flat surface is oriented facing upward and angled toward customers for viewing and the second flat surface is oriented facing downward. The second display position is when the second flat surface is oriented facing upward and angled toward customers for viewing and the first flat surface is oriented facing downward.

Abstract: A theft prevention camouflage system for a radio-cassette unit including control means removably mounted in the dashboard of a motor vehicle. A cover is removably positioned at the dashboard for concealing the radio-cassette unit from view. A tongue member connected to the cover is adapted to be removably positioned in the cassette recess of the radio-cassette or cassette so as to act as a grip holding the cover in place over the radio-cassette unit around the frame. A protruding lip extending transversely from the inner surface of the edge of the cover and the inner surface of the cover define a hollow; the auditory control means are positioned in the hollow when the cover is mounted over the radio-cassette unit. The outer surface of the cover is generally of the same decorative scheme as the dashboard.

Abstract: A ring display system for showing rings on a shelf of a showcase including a support structure having a first platform defining a plurality of ring slots for positioning a plurality of rings and a second platform opposed to the first platform for displaying a second plurality of rings. The support structure is movable to either a first ring display position or a second ring display position, the first ring display position being when the first platform is oriented facing upward and the second platform is oriented facing downward, and the second ring display position being when the second platform is oriented facing upward and platform is oriented facing downward so that the support structure can be selectively reversed. The ring display system optionally includes a housing for removably holding the support structure in either the first or the second ring display position. The housing is hollow and has an inner shelf for holding the support structure.

Abstract: A display system for showing watches on a shelf of a showcase including a support structure having a first platform for positioning a plurality of watch collars mounting watches over a substantial area of the first platform and a second platform opposed to the first platform for supporting a plurality of independent watch displays mounting watch collars in turn mounting watches on selected areas of the second platform. The support structure is movable to either a full watch display position or a reduced watch display position, the full watch display position being when the first platform is oriented facing upward and the second platform is oriented facing downward, and the partial watch display position being when the second platform is oriented facing upward and the first platform is oriented facing downward so that the support structure can be selectively reversed in accordance with either high or low merchandise levels.
