  • Patent number: 11103068
    Abstract: A modular wall organization system including one or plural board assemblies. Each of the board assemblies includes a frame and at least one planar panel held by the frame. Some of the frames include hollow frame sections and corner nodes, which connect the frame sections. The frame sections are configured to be used with hangers for mounting various types of accessories on the board assembly or for connecting plural board assembles together. Some of the accessories are trays, baskets, rolls of writing material, and panel insert assemblies. The panel insert assemblies include various panels, such as cork-boards, dry-erase boards, chalk-boards, fabric-boards, slat-boards, letter-to boards and other types of boards or panels. Some of the frames are in the form of solid frame sections.

  • Patent number: 10878731
    Abstract: A modular wall organization system, e.g., modular bulletin board system, including plural board assemblies. Each of the assemblies includes corner nodes which are configured to be connected to other corner nodes to enable the assemblies to be connected in various configurations on a wall either horizontally or vertically or horizontally and vertically. The assemblies may be framed or frameless. The systems also include clips and adhesive mounting pads for mounting the assemblies on a wall.

  • Publication number: 20170120665
    Abstract: A scrapbook system is disclosed. The scrapbook system includes a pair of covers an intermediate panel connecting the pair of pivotable covers, a stack of plural pages and a plurality of disks releasably mounting the pages on the disks between the covers. Each of the disks is circular and has a generally planar central section and an enlarged peripheral rim. The covers are pivotally connected to each other by an intermediate member. The disks are concealed from the outside of the scrapbook system when the covers are closed by means of a cover. At least some of the pages include at least one pocket for receipt of a keepsake item, with portions of at least some of the pages being transparent to enable one to view a keepsake item located in the pocket through the transparent portion of the page.

  • Patent number: 9428000
    Abstract: A scrapbook and/or photo album system is disclosed. The system includes a top cover panel, a bottom cover panel, a stack of plural pages, a replaceable spine and plural fasteners. The spine is a unitary member made up of a plurality of disks fixedly secured together by a common rod. Each of the pages has an inner edge including a plurality of generally mushroom shaped slots. Each of the disks is circular and has a generally planar central section and an enlarged peripheral rim shaped to mate with and be received in a respective one of the slots of the page to secure each page to the spine. The common rod of the spin includes plural hollow portions, each configured to receive a respective fastener to secure the cover panels to the spine.

  • Patent number: 8921709
    Abstract: An RF shielding device for mobile devices includes a conductive grid having horizontal and vertical wire traces in electrical contact with each other; a conductive trace disposed around the perimeter of the conductive grid, the conductive trace being in electrical contact with both ends of each of the horizontal and vertical wire traces; a first insulating film disposed on a top surface of the conductive grid; and a second insulating film disposed on a bottom surface of the conductive grid and the conductive trace. The first insulating film and the second insulating film are of a transparent material. The first and second insulating films are transparent, thus allowing viewing of the display of a mobile device on which the RF shielding device is disposed. The vertical and horizontal wire traces are spaced to form a grid that is opaque to signals in the frequency ranges utilized for mobile communication.

  • Patent number: 8270929
    Abstract: An RF shielding device for application to mobile devices includes an RF blocking screen material configured to cover a front face of the mobile device. The screen material includes a grounding material that contacts a body portion of the mobile device for grounding the screen material to the mobile device. The RF shielding device allows proper operation of a touchscreen interface. The RF shielding device may be configured as a self-adhesive material dimensioned to cover a substantial portion of the front face of the mobile device. Alternatively, the RF shielding device may be constructed as a case or protective shell.
