  • Patent number: 10264871
    Abstract: A device for storing and carrying items. The device includes a storage section. A binder holder is connected to and extends from a front wall of the storage section. The binder holder includes first and section connection arms extending from the binder holder on a side opposite the connection to the front wall. The first and second connection arms extend in opposite directions from the binder holder. A first connector extends from a first side wall of the storage section for mating with the first connection arm. A second connector extends from a second side wall of the storage section for mating with the second connection arm. When the first connector mates with the first connection arm and the second connector mates with the second connection arm, the binder holder forms a pouch with the front wall for selectively receiving an item therein.

  • Patent number: 9335789
    Abstract: A device for selectively and releasably mounting a handheld electronic device to a surface. The device includes a mounting plate and a base plate. The mounting plate includes a top surface having a female connector. The mounting plate may be secured to the surface. Alternatively, the mounting plate may include a rigid member extending around a recess through the surface. The base plate receives the handheld electronic device within a first side thereof and includes a male connector spaced and extending from a side of the base plate opposite the first side. The male connector has a size and shape similar to the size and shape of the recess. Insertion of the male connector into the recess and rotation of the male connector to be misaligned with the recess causes the base plate and handheld electronic device to be releasably locked to the mounting plate. The male connector on the base plate or the mounting plate may also be used detached from a surface as a handle for holding the electronic device when in use.

  • Patent number: 8590939
    Abstract: A multi page product hang tag includes at least one overlay sheet having pages hingedly attached to a spine with the spine attached to a backing sheet. The backing sheet is attachable to a displayable product, e.g., a binder. Each overlay sheet has an interruption between each page and the spine connected by laminate material that forms a hinge along each interruption. In manufacture, an indicia carrying sheet, e.g., stock, is formed to remove material defining each page and spine along with the hinge-defining interruption therebetween. At least one bridge of the sheet extends between each page and spine above and/or below its corresponding interruption. After laminating the formed sheet, additional forming removes each bridge producing a multi-paged overlay sheet that is in turn attached to a backing sheet to form a product hang tag in accordance with the invention.
