  • Patent number: 6827812
    Abstract: A framing device, used for displaying items such as photographs, certificates and the like, includes a translucent sheet-like material having an outward side and an inward side, both having a common continuous edge. An adhesive is applied along the inward side adjacent to the continuous edge in such a manner that a portion of such edge remains adhesive-free. A sheet of backing material has a first side and a second side and the first side of such foam is positionally secured by the adhesive and with respect to the translucent material. And a release liner is attached to the second side of the backing material. The adhesive-free portion of the edge and the sheet of backing material define a slot permitting insertion and removal of an item to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 6106014
    Abstract: A photo/photo cartridge delivery/storage packet is particularly suited for the products of Advanced Photo Systems (APS) processing. Such packet has first and second sheet-like cover members disposed in spaced, substantially parallel planes. Each member has a spine-adjacent edge and a sheet-like spine interconnecting the cover members along such edges. A plurality of sheet-like photos is between the cover members and is removably/replaceably secured to the spine by adhesive. There is a structural element against either the second cover member or an additional insert card for securing the photo cartridge associated with the photos. The packet may also have a fold-over flap which aids in securing the photographs in the packet.

  • Patent number: 5974715
    Abstract: An article for framing a visual work includes a framing member, the rear surface of which has first and second adhesive portions. A transparent sheet adheres to the first portion and a bifurcated cling film adheres to the second adhesive portion. A pocket is formed between the sheet and the film for receiving the visual work. A method for making an article for framing a visual work includes providing a framing member having a rear surface and adhering a transparent sheet on the first adhesive portion of such surface. A cling film is mounted on a second adhesive portion of the rear surface and in a manner such that the cling film overlays the transparent sheet. The cling film is bifurcated by slitting it, thereby providing an access slot for inserting the visual work between the sheet and the film.

  • Patent number: 5709496
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing and protecting in a coordinated manner developed film and printed photographs, particularly those associated with the Advanced Photo System ("APS"). Such apparatus is comprised of a sheet-like article configured for binding at one end having an opposing free edge, a first and second surface, and opposing first and second free edges perpendicular to the binding edge. A transverse crease extends along the article defining a flap that is used to secure the film container. A print storage device and film container are attached to the article in such a manner as to allow the flap to fold back over the container thereby securing the it by allowing the container to fit through a hole in the flap while the flap adheres to the sheet-like article.
