  • Patent number: 11845296
    Abstract: A method and system of attaching rivets to secure sheets of paper together. The rivets have a head, a recess, a skirt and a tail. A tool is configured so that the tail fits through a hole in the tool. Before the tail is inserted into the hole in the tool, the tail is inserted through two holes in the paper(s) and then in the hole in the tool. Pressure is placed on the paper by pressing downward on the tool thereby causing the paper(s) to snap into the recess, thereby securing both pieces of paper together.

  • Patent number: 10004303
    Abstract: A customizable bracelet or belt that has a matrix of evenly spaced holes all around the article. Inserts such as pegs, rhinestones, and charms are configured to be inserted through any of the holes and will be snugly secured inside the hole. In this way, a very large number of configurations can be designed by a user by using different combinations of the inserts. The configurations can be in a particular pattern, spell words, etc.

  • Patent number: 8579671
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer software to provide a kit which allows an operator to construct a variety of vehicles such as cars, boats, hovercraft, airplanes, etc. The operator can use software to select characteristics of the vehicles, and then print out sheets of paper or other thin material that can then be folded into a vehicle. Motors can be inserted into each vehicle in order to propel the vehicle. The kit can also comprise special tools which allow for forming the paper or other material into particular three dimensional shapes. The kit can also comprise a remote control transmitter and receiver so that the vehicles can be controlled remotely.

  • Patent number: 6027391
    Abstract: A kit for assisting in the fabrication of a model is disclosed. Such kit includes a compact disk positionable within the computer for being read and for the issuing of commands to the printer in response to input from a user. The compact disk includes a plurality of separate and distinct programs, each program representing a particular model to be fabricated. Each program includes instruction data adapted to be printed out by the printer and read by a user. Each program further includes template data adapted to be printed out and used by a user in the fabricating of a model. The instructions and templates correspond to the program selected by a user. The templates are adapted to be printed out by the printer and cut by the user in accordance with the printed out instructions in a correlated manner in response to commands from the computer and input from the user from any particular program on the compact disk.
