Abstract: A device for personal entertainment equipment incorporates a spring-loaded sleep switch unit, on/off bypass switch and power supply, wherein the source equipment is turned off as soon as the user falls asleep or otherwise relaxes grip on the sleep switch unit.

Abstract: A portable light for laptop computers comprising a battery pack and a light assembly selectively engageable in a use position with the light assembly extending perpendicular from the upper portion of the battery pack and slidably engaged within mounting clips on the battery pack, and a stored position wherein the battery pack is received substantially co-linear with the light assembly within a storage pocket in the light assembly.

Abstract: An accessory clip including an elongate planar base panel, an upstanding end panel integral with one end of the base panel, and a top panel integral with the end panel and overlying the base panel in upwardly spaced substantially parallel relation thereto. The top panel is of a substantially lesser length than the base panel. The base panel is selectively engageable beneath an elongate portable light both longitudinally coextensive therewith in a stored position, and transversely thereof in a use position wherein the base panel extends substantially laterally beyond the light. The clip is frictionally engaged with the light in both positions.

Abstract: A mount for magnifying lenses including a U-shaped clip having front and rear panels with the front panel relatively shorter than the rear panel and with the lower edge of the front panel pivoted to the rear leg of an L-shaped bracket. The bracket includes a forward leg extending from the rear leg and terminating in a forward edge having a slot therein opening into an interior pocket adapted to receive a mounting tab of a magnifying lens.

Abstract: A portable desk light including a flat thin battery case with laterally spaced battery chambers defining an upwardly opening channel therebetween. The channel receives an elongate support arm pivoted therein for movement between a first position completely received within the channel and an upwardly pivoted and longitudinally extended position. A bulb mounting lamp housing is pivoted to the upper end of the support arm for positioning relative to a support surface upon which the battery case rests.

Abstract: A portable light including a flat battery case with a lamp housing pivotally joined thereto for movement between a first position in parallel overlying relation to the battery case and within the peripheral confines thereof and a second fully opened position projecting outwardly from said battery case generally parallel thereto.

Abstract: A portable light including a flat battery case with a lamp housing pivotally joined to one edge thereof and projecting therefrom for movement between a closed position generally coplanar with the battery case and an open position pivoted upward therefrom. In the closed position the open face of the lamp housing closes against and is protected by a closure plate rigid with and extending from the battery case. The bulb in the lamp housing is automatically illuminated in response to an open pivoting of the lamp housing relative to the battery case through switch contacts which engage in response to pivotal movement of the lamp housing.

Abstract: A compact flashlight comprising a rectangular housing including a front wall mounting a substantially coextensive lens. A reflector mounts within the housing immediately rearward of the lens and defines, in conjunction with a rearwardly directed bulb mount, a pair of battery chambers laterally to opposed sides thereof. A frictionally mounted removable rear wall is received within peripheral recesses and closes the housing, cooperating therewith for the retention of batteries within the battery chambers. The rear wall similarly retains an externally accessible switch.

Abstract: A combined mailer and easel-type display frame is formed from a planar blank and comprises first and second overlying panels defining a picture-receiving and displaying pocket. A third panel integral with the lower panel along a fold line coextensive with the open mouth of the pocket is selectively folded between a first position overlying the pocket and closing the mouth thereof and a second rearwardly diverging position defining a support easel. A brace panel is integral with the third panel and includes an outer tongue portion selectively engaged through a slot in the lower panel to secure the third panel in both positions thereof. The brace panel, inward of the tongue, includes a finger-accommodating gripping opening for facilitating manipulation of the tongue. The brace panel is defined by multiple parallel sections with fold lines therebetween for a controlled manipulation of the brace panel for engagement and disengagement of the tongue.

Abstract: An inexpensive collapsible picture frame is formed from a single blank of cardboard and includes two adjacent panels, one of which has a cut-out window between which a picture may be inserted; the other of these panels having a lock slot cut therein and a glue tab assembly. A support panel having tapered sides is folded rearwardly from one edge of the panel having the cut-out window to permit the frame to be oriented on a surface in either a horizontal or vertical viewing format, and an easel brace panel folds from the end of the support panel toward the two adjacent panels and has a lock tongue engageable in the lock slot to retain the frame in assembled condition wherein the two adjacent picture receiving panels are bowed into a convex shape to aid in frictionally retaining the picture and to reduce glare in use.
