Abstract: A method for forming an item by partially fusing selected portions of two sheets together. A non-heat-sensitive barrier sheet is inserted between two heat-sensitive sheets. The sheets are stamped with a die to fuse portions of the heat-sensitive sheets together remote from the barrier sheet. The barrier sheet and waste heat-sensitive sheet material is removed to leave the item. The method has particular application to stamping envelopes from a clear flexible vinyl material in a single continuous stamping operation.

Abstract: A device for storing and providing ready access to cards having a substantially rigid base member with a continuous rectangular wave-shaped slit therein. The slit forms a first set of tabs and a second set of tabs. The device further includes translucent card holders mounted on the base member for storing the cards. Each card holder has complementary slots for receiving the first set of tabs. The second set of tabs retain each card holder in place to prevent disengagement from the first set of tabs. Each card holder can be flipped to provide access to other card holders.

Abstract: A device for retaining information sheets in close proximity to a display screen, including a frame member and a pair of leg members. A locking device releasably locks one of the leg members in discrete predetermined positions with respect to the frame member. A retention member is coupled to at least one of the leg members and the frame member for releasably retaining the information sheets. A clamp secures the device to the display screen, so that the information sheets are retained in close proximity to the display screen.
