Abstract: The present invention is a tool and method for imprinting encoded messages on a food product. The tool comprises an imprinting device that engages with the opening of a container that holds the food product. The imprinting device has a geometric configuration with at least 5 flat planes. The imprinting device functions as a lid of the container. Each of the flat plane contain the following symbols: a long line, a shorter liner, a large half-circle, and a shorter half-circle, and a small circle designating a period The method of the system involves creating each number and alphabet in the English language utilizing five designated symbols incorporated on each plane of the cube.

Abstract: An imprinter for creating impressions of designs in media such as buttercream, fondant, gum paste, modeling dough, and cookie dough for decoration. The imprinter includes a retainer having a retainer body and at least one retaining portion and a lock configured to be received by the retainer. The lock has a lock retaining portion engageable with the retaining portion of the retainer to selectably secure the lock to the retainer.

Abstract: In order to create preconditions, in a web-fed rotary press, for good format variability of the printed products and economic utilization of the printing material, at least two printed pages of different heights are arranged in the circumferential direction on a form cylinder.

Abstract: A flexible die is provided which incorporates a base die and a superimposed interchangeable cutting or embossing die. The base die is generally planar and is adapted to securely receiving the superimposed interchangeable die thereon. Protruding upwardly from the outer face of the base die is a raised cutting portion, a raised embossing portion, or both, which raised portion is adapted to cut, form, or emboss the outer periphery of a blank or substrate. The superimposed interchangeable die is generally planar, and includes a raised cutting or embossing portion protruding upwardly from the outer face thereof, which raised portion is adapted to cut, form or emboss a portion of the blank or substrate. At least a portion of the superimposed interchangeable die is adapted to be received onto at least a portion of the base die.

Abstract: The method of printing an integral design on the leaves of a blind with one round of processing includes setting up printing plates for designs expected to be printed, and then the designs on these printing plates are compressed by a printing roller and printed on the leaves at the same time. Next, these leaves with printed designs on them are dried, collected and tied up, possible to produce by a large number with one round of processing, to lower processing cost and greatly beautify leaves of a blind.

Abstract: A stamp playset includes a book-like case supporting a plurality of symbol pads together with an elongated inking pad and a generally cylindrical roller stamp. The roller stamp includes a cylindrical housing within which a cylindrical roller is supported. The cylindrical roller defines a plurality of attachment slots which receive attachment flanges of selected symbol pads. The symbol pads are arrangeable in a variety of sequences as desired. The roller further supports a symbol cube having a plurality of symbol elements. The symbol cube is rotatably supported to facilitate alignment of a selected one of the plurality of symbol elements thereon within the sequence of symbols to be roller stamp.

Abstract: A cartoon generation system is provided including at least one figurine each having at least a pair of members with at least one of the members pivotally coupled to one of the other members. The members of the figurine each have at least one substantially planar face which remains in coplanar relationship with the substantially planar faces of the remaining members.

Abstract: A stamp and a method for stamping is described in which rubberbands are placed on to a stamp body. One of the side surface of the stamp body is then pressed onto an ink pad. The surface of the stamp body is pressed onto a media so as to produce an image on the media. Any of a number of different geometry's of stamp bodies and rubberbands may be used to form a variety of images. The stamp body has grooves formed within it such that the rubberbands may be secured to the stamp body. Multi-colored images and patterns may be formed by using either multi-colored stamp pads or making multiple images by using a number of stamp pads having different colors.

Abstract: A kit for imparting a geometric pattern onto a fabric to impart a desired mark as provided. The patterns are utilized for quilting a final design on a cloth quilt. The organization includes a stamp in cooperation with a knee pad, wherein the stamp includes a body with a geometric pattern mounted thereon. A modification of the invention includes a stamp body permitting mounting of various patterns theron.

Abstract: An applicator for applying a paint design along the border of a wall includes a holder having a planar base, a handle extending from one side of the base and a hook-and-loop fastener on an opposite side of the base for attaching in any desired position a sponge or other member for holding paint and applying it to the wall. The hook-and-loop fastener carries a grid so that the paint holding and applying member can be located in a precise position on the base of the holder relative to edges of the base and to other paint holding and applying members.

Abstract: An apparatus capable of being used by a child for the production of rubbings includes a housing which is divided into a first section and a second section. The second section is hinged to the first section. At least two elements are located in the first section. Each of the elements has a plurality of independent surfaces with raised relief indicia located on the surfaces. The elements are rotatably mounted in the first section so as to locate at any one time one of the surfaces on each of the elements in a working plane. Each of the surfaces so located in the working plane is capable of supporting material which is capable of receiving a rubbing. The second section is positionable on the first section in a holding position, so as to hold the material against the surfaces in the working plane during the production of the rubbing. The rubbing is produced by drawing a crayon or the like over the surface of the material to transfer the outline of the raised relief on to the material.

Abstract: An improved print roller for applying dye to a textile material in a predetermined pattern is provided wherein the core of the roller, which is operatively supported in a rotatable position by a shaft, is encapsulated with a cover formed of a substantially impervious elastomeric material. Dye applicators are then bonded to the cover.

Abstract: A marking device in the form of a branding iron having a plurality of sets of marking elements in the form of line segments mutually positioned and oriented to comprise line elements common to a plurality of recognizably different characters, together with a releasable latching arrangement for positioning selected ones of said elements in a working plane for application to an animal to be identified.

Abstract: A hand printing stamp for transferring ink from an ink pad to a sheet of paper or the like, including movable portions on the printing face of the stamp so that different images may be reproduced from one stamp. In the embodiment disclosed, the movable parts include arms, legs and the head of a figure so that the figure may be reproduced in a plurality of articulated positions.
