Abstract: A greeting card that selectively opens and closes. The greeting card assembly simulates a firework display in the background of a foreground message when opened. The greeting card assembly has a card section that contains an internal compartment covered by a top panel. A plurality of cutouts are formed through the top panel that are shaped as firework starbursts. LEDs are positioned within the internal compartment for selectively backlighting the cutouts. A light diffusing element is interposed between the cutouts and the LEDs. A speaker is positioned within the internal compartment for playing a digital soundtrack of exploding fireworks. At least one foreground panel is provided that is positioned a distance from the top panel when the greeting card assembly is opened. When viewed, the foreground panels stand in front of a card section that is playing a soundtrack and flashing lights behind starburst cutouts to simulate background fireworks.

Abstract: A 3D pop-up card assembly having a base card and a foldable figure that pops up when the base card is opened. The foldable figure is attached to the base card using a plurality of paper hinge constructs. Each of the paper hinge constructs has a first tab, a second tab and a transition section. The transition section contains fold lines along which each of the paper hinge constructs can fold. The first tab of each paper hinge construct is attached to the base card. The second tab of each paper hinge construct is attached to the foldable figure. When the base card is opened, each paper hinge construct can rotate in unaligned planes, therein applying tension to the foldable figure as the orientation between the base card and the foldable figure changes.

Abstract: A greeting card assembly having an electronics unit embedded into the card. The electronics unit plays a length of music containing consecutive notes that can be selectively played over the speaker. A graphic of at least one instrument is displayed in the card. At least one activation sensor is provided within the graphic. Each activation sensor can be triggered by touching the graphic where the activation sensor is located. When an activation sensor is triggered, the electronics unit plays only one, two or three notes from the length of music. In this manner, to play the full length of music, the activation sensor must be repeatedly triggered. By strategically positioning each activation sensor in the graphic of the instrument, the repeated triggering of the activation sensor provides an appearance that a user is actually playing the instrument depicted in the graphic.

Abstract: A pop-up toy device that has a housing with at least two sections. A spring-loaded post inside the housing operates between a retracted position and an extended position. The spring-loaded post extends a first section of the housing away from a second section of the housing when in its extended position. A groove and rest are formed in the spring-loaded post. A base is mounted in the housing that supports the spring-loaded post. A locking finger extends from the base and follows the groove in the spring-loaded post as the spring-loaded post moves between its retracted position and its extended position. The locking finger engages the rest in the groove and retains the spring-loaded post in its retracted position when said spring-loaded post is manually manipulated into its retracted position from its extended position.
