Abstract: A film storing device is provided for storing a plurality of film assembly each including an image bearing film which is attached to a sheet-like mount. The film storing device comprises a pair of translucent sheet materials which are laid one over the other and bonded together along bonding areas including a plurality of longitudinally extending bonding areas and a plurality of transversely extending bonding areas defining a plurality of substantially rectangular storing sections to form a storing pocket in each of the storing sections between the pair of the translucent sheet materials. One of the sheet materials is formed with cutouts for forming an inlet to each storing pocket. A translucent image area is formed in each of the storing sections so that image on the film of the film assembly stored in the storing pocket can be visually observed through the pair of translucent sheet materials.

Abstract: A sheet-like storing element for storing an optical recording disc. The storing element is formed at one side with one or more rectangular frames each of which have a circular frame formed therein. In the circular frame, there is a cutout portion which is formed by cutting off a portion of an area which is surrounded by the circular frame. The circular frame is interrupted or cut-off in the vicinity of at least one of corners of the rectangular frame. The sheet-shaped storing element has a film of a flexible material which is attached thereto at a side where the circular frame is formed so that the area surrounded by the circular frame is covered thereby. The circular frame of the storing element has an inner diameter which is larger than the outer diameter of the recording disc which is to be stored in the storing element.

Abstract: A file sheet binder including a plurality of binding units arranged in parallel. Each of the binding units comprises a flat, elongated base plate and one or more gripping sections, each including a pair of gripping members provided at one surface of the base plate. The paired gripping members have edges which are opposed to each other to form a slit therebetween so that a file sheet can be gripped at an edge portion by the edges forming the slit. An opening is formed in the base plate between the paired gripping members. The gripping members and the base plate are manufactured as an integral part by molding a plastics material. The opening is adapted for removing a core which is used in molding process for defining a space between the paired gripping members.

Abstract: A file sheet storing device comprising a first sheet made of a transparent material and adapted to cover one side surface of a file sheet, a second sheet made of a transparent or an opaque material and adapted to cover the other side surface of the file sheet. The first and the second sheets are connected together to form a bag-shaped cover along three edge portions leaving the remaining edge portion at least partially unconnected to provide an opening for insertion of a file sheet. The bag-shaped cover is formed along one of the three edge portions with a bonded portion for binding the cover to a book-shaped binder. The cover is further formed along the edge portion where the bonded portion is provided with a line of attachment between the first and the second sheets for preventing the file sheet from being displaced toward the edge portion where the bonded portion is formed.

Abstract: A recording disc filing device for storing optical recording discs such as compact discs. The filing device includes a recording disc filing sheet having a plurality of recording disc storing sections for receiving recording discs, respectively. The recording disc storing sections are arranged in a predetermined pattern. The filing device further includes a leaflet filing sheet having leaflet storing sections for receiving leaflets carrying information on recorded contents in the recording discs stored in the recording disc storing sections. The leaflet storing sections correspond in number to the recording disc storing sections. The recording disc filing sheet and the leaflet filing sheet are arranged so that the leaflet storing sections in the leaflet filing sheet are located at positions corresponding to the recording disc storing sections in the recording disc filing sheet.

Abstract: A filing binder comprising a plurality of elongated binding members made of a resilient material. Each of the binding members has a groove extending along the length of the binding member and formed with a slit opening opened at one side of the binding member. The groove is of a cross-sectional configuration which is enlarged from the slit opening toward transverse inward direction. The binding members are arranged in side-by-side relationship with the slit openings directed to the same orientation and connected together by flexible or hinge connection. A file sheet is provided for engagement with the slit opening in the binding member. The file sheet is provided with a dust cover of a transparent material which covers the opposite sides of the file sheet.

Abstract: A file sheet for filing information recording media in which the information recording media can be inserted in and extracted from either of an upper and a lower direction. Therefore, it is also possible to bind a single kind of file sheet in a spread apart manner.

Abstract: The overhead projector include a lower plate disposed on a housing of a main body of the overhead projector. The lower plate can rotate about a light axis of a condenser lens and has a transparent portion facing at least the condenser lens. A projection lens is supported above the condenser lens and an upper plate is disposed under the projection lens. The upper plate is supported vertically resiliently with respect to the projection lens and has a transparent portion at least facing the condenser lens. The upper plate is able to rotate about a light axis of the condenser lens. When images projected on a screen lie sideways or upside down, the upper and lower plates which are interposing a film therebetween are rotated. Thus, the directions of the projected images are correctly adjusted.

Abstract: A yacht model or a full scale yacht includes a hull and a mast is provided on the hull to extend upward from the hull to support a main sail. A spinnaker is provided in front of the mast and the spinnaker is made of a plastic material and formed in a bulged configuration to possess an appearance of receiving wind. The spinnaker has a top portion connected to an upper portion of the mast in a manner which allows a turning movement of the spinnaker about the mast. Booms may be provided between the mast and a lower portion of the spinnaker for maintaining the lower portion of the spinnaker in a position spaced from the mast while allowing the turning movement. The lower portion of the spinnaker is connected at the opposite sides to a rear portion of the hull through strap like flexible connecting members.

Abstract: A sailing boat model adapted for exhibition and for actual sailing on water includes a hull, a keel provided on a bottom portion of a midship of the hull to extend downward from the hull, a rudder provided on a bottom portion of a stern of the hull, a mast provided on the hull to extend upward from the hull, sails connected to the mast, the hull, the keel, the rudder, the mast and the sails having relative dimensions which simulate an actual sailing boat, and a balancing weight comprising an auxiliary keel including a keel body to be detachable attached to and extend downward from the bottom of the hull and a balancing mass provided on a lower end portion of the keel body for up-and-down movement relative to the keel body.
