  • Publication number: 20030010728
    Abstract: A highly functional desk organizer includes a base (10) with a bottom surface (12) and a top surface (16), (108) with a thickness that is relatively small in relation to the periphery of the base (10). An array of three pockets (26), (28), (30); (110), (112), (114) is located on the top surface (16), (108) that includes a relatively shallow pocket (28), (112) in the center of the array and is adapted to receive and provide support for a note pad, and the two side pockets (26), (30); (110), (114) on each side of the central pocket (28), (112) which are deeper than the central pocket (28), (112) and adapted to receive paper clips, rubber bands, business cards or the like. Two cylindrical pockets (32), (34); (116), (118) are located in the top surface (108) and are substantially identical and relatively deep in relation to the central pocket (28), (112).

  • Publication number: 20020147092
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a device for seizing flat material (1). The device includes a transfer cylinder (6) rotating about an axis and having an outer surface (16). A cutting cylinder (3) cooperates with said transfer cylinder (6) and has at least one knife assembly (5) mounted thereon. A set of product seizing elements (7) is arranged in the outer periphery of said cutting cylinder (3), actuable about a common center point (11). Tips (25) of said product seizing elements (7) cooperate with counterparts (9) on the surface (16) of said transfer cylinder (6).

  • Patent number: 6367652
    Abstract: A cup holder for a conventional beverage cup that has a generally inverted frusto-conical side wall and an upper access opening surrounded by a radially outwardly extending peripheral bead adapted to be connected to a disposable lid by a snap fit within a downwardly and radially outwardly depending peripheral skirt on the lid. The insulated cup holder includes a double walled insulating vessel including an inner liner and an outer liner spaced therefrom to define an insulating space and snugly receives a conventional cup so as to insulate the contents of the cup to assist in maintaining its temperature at a desired level.

  • Patent number: 6158736
    Abstract: A sheet diverting system for the delivery of products arriving in a stream into at least one of two paths. A first supply belt acting in conjunction with a second supply belt transport a printed product held therebetween. A rotatable sheet diverting lobe diverts the printed product to one of a first delivery path and a second delivery path. A first delivery belt is guided around a first deflection roller and together with the first supply belt defines the first delivery path. A second delivery belt is guided around a second deflection roller disposed vertically and horizontally offset with respect to the first deflection roller and together with the second supply belt defines the second delivery path for the printed product.

  • Patent number: 5743517
    Abstract: A signature ejecting assembly for use in a folding apparatus in a printing press. A first rotatably mounted surface is provided, and a second rotatably mounted surface is movingly mounted on a bracket. The first and second rotatably mounted surfaces located within the product transfer area or nip of the folding apparatus. The second rotatably mounted surface exerts a positive drive force upon loosely held or bunched signatures during start-up, thereby ejecting the signatures and preventing jams in the folding apparatus.
