Abstract: A simple device for transporting materials is formed of a sheet of a flexible plastics material of generally tear drop shape to define a front tapered converging portion connected directly to a rear semicircular cupping portion. A rope passes through a pair of transversely spaced holes at the front edge to define a forwardly extending handle portion. The rope extends rearwardly along each side of the front portion to a hole at or adjacent a rear edge of the side edge and is covered by a stiffening tube. The rope passes through holes at the rear cupping portion to define a rear portion of the rope outside the sheet across the rear covered by a stiffening tube engaged over the rear portion of the rope.

Abstract: A book is formed from a number of rigid pages each formed from a stiff material. All of the indicia on the pages are formed from a material having luminescent properties and also having a thickness on the page to form a relief pattern on the page. The luminescent also includes colored pigment providing different colors on the page. The indicium elements on each page are arranged relative to the next adjacent page so that they do not overlap when the pages are closed. An edge bead is applied onto relatively thick page edges to illuminate the edges and to provide a soft feel to the edges.
