  • Patent number: 6461712
    Abstract: A foam sign made from a laminated substrate and several cuts outs die cut from the substrate. The laminated substrate contains a foam layer with a thickness of from about 0.5 to about 3.0 inches, wherein the foam has a density of from about 1.2 to about 2.0 pounds per square foot; the substrate also contains plastic sheets adhesively joined to the top and the bottom of the foam layers, wherein the plastic sheets have a thickness of from about 0.007 to about 0.03 inches; and the laminated substrate also has several cavities designed to receive the cut outs. The cut outs are disposed within such cavities such that the top surfaces of the cut outs are either above or below the top surfaces of the laminated substrate.

  • Patent number: 6159577
    Abstract: A magnetic modifiable sign system comprised of a plastic substrate, a layer of magnetic ink, a layer of ultraviolet curable white ink, a layer of ultraviolet curable colored ink, and a multiplicity of flexible magnetic sheets which are removably and magnetically attached to the layer of magnetic ink through the layer of ultraviolet curable white ink. The distance between the top surface of the layer of magnetic ink and the top surface of the layer of ultraviolet curable colored ink is less than about 0.006 inches.

  • Patent number: 5752720
    Abstract: A pad comprised of three leaves, each of which preferably has a numerical indicia displayed on each side of it. Each leaf is joined to two other leaves by means of a first segment of adhesive tape and a second segment of adhesive tape. The end portions of each of such tape segments are contiguous with one of said leaves, but the middle portions of the tape segments are not contiguous with such leaves.

  • Patent number: 5364057
    Abstract: An improved panel holder is disclosed for hanging posters and other sheet material and which can be either wall mounted or suspended from a ceiling. The holder includes two longitudinal extruded panels each having a longitudinal C-shaped flange situated along one of the panel edges. One flange is inserted within the other one to form a longitudinal interlocking hinge connection. The panels are movable with respect to each other in a transverse direction about this hinge coupling between an open and a closed position. The flanges are dimensioned in such a way that rotation of the panels with respect to one another in the transverse direction results in one of the flanges being elastically deformed during the first part of the motion, with the resulting stored elastic energy being abruptly released during the second part of the panel motion, thereby giving rise to the holder snapping open or closed.
