  • Patent number: 5102171
    Abstract: A greeting card is constructed of at least one or two panels of a sheet-form material having at least a portion of one surface of at least one of the panels being substantially smooth and non-porous. All surfaces of the panels are printable. A thin sheet of static cling vinyl overlies and is electrostatically adhered to the material's smooth non-porous surface. The sheet of static cling vinyl is adapted to be manually peeled from the flexible material and electro-statically selectively adhered any number of times to any other smooth, non-porous surface to display printing on the sheet or to decorate the other surface.

  • Patent number: 4502596
    Abstract: A display and storage pack, as for video game cartridges, is made of folded, flexible, sheet-form plastic. Side-by-side pockets are spaced along the length of the plastic by heat-sealed seams and hinge areas. The game cartridges have a substantial thickness, so the seams do not extend to the folded, bottom edges of the pockets but stop above such edges. The plastic then can accommodate the thickness of the cartridges without stretching or tearing. Cartridges are held firmly in the pockets by friction with the plastic, yet then can be easily inserted and removed. The pack is entirely flat when empty, and folds compactly, accordion-like, when entirely or partially filled. An elastic band affixed to a tab on one end of the pack holds it in its folded position. Handles allow carriage or hanging storage of the folded pack. When the pack is open the game cartridges are displayed for selection.
