  • Publication number: 20150075044
    Abstract: Custom LED light panel displays (20, 20a, 20b) are provided, equipped with transparent media covers (22), replaceable, image-bearing media sheets (24), and support and illumination assemblies (26) having backing panels (38) supporting the sheets (24). The sheets (24) are located between the covers (22) and the backing panels (38), and can be readily replaced without disassembly of the displays (20, 20a, 20b). The displays (20, 20a, 20b) are illuminated by means of peripheral LED lights (86) disposed about central panel sections (50) forming a part of the backing panels (38). The LED-emitted light may be4 scattered or changed in color to achieve different illumination patterns.

  • Patent number: 8241727
    Abstract: Decorated three-dimensional articles (64, 78, 82, 86) may be produced having wall structure (66-72) with distortion-free images (40a, 40b) appearing through the inner and outer surfaces of the wall structure (66-72). Preferably, a sheet of paper stock (38) is imprinted on both faces with mirror images (40a, 40b), and the stock (38) is applied to a light-transmitting substrate (44) so that the image (40b) appears through the substrate (44), thereby yielding a blank (50). A plurality of lines of weakness (54) are formed in the blank (50) by laser ablation extending through the image (40a) and stock (38), but not through the image (40b), in order to define spaced apart bend areas (56). The substrate (44) is then heated along the bend areas (56), and the blank (50) is formed about a mandrel (62). If desired, the formed blank (50) may be completed by addition of a base (74).

  • Publication number: 20070000793
    Abstract: Novelty dispensing packages (20, 66, 102) are provided which include a base (22, 68, 104) presenting one or more concavities (40, 86, 88) adapted to receive a stack (28, 74, 76, 110) of individually dispensable, image-bearing, adhesive tabs (30). The packages (20, 66, 102) also include preferably transparent upper covers (24, 70, 106) which mate with the bases (22, 68, 104), as well as image-bearing panels (26, 72, 108) which are sandwiched between the bases (22, 68, 104) and the covers (24, 70, 106). Preferably, the visible images on the panels (26, 72, 108) relate to the images provided on the individual tabs (30).
