Patent number: 8079470Abstract: A themolaminating film for receiving a blister portion in the construction of a reusable package is described. A base blister portion configured to receive some form of media or material is molded from a formable heat sealable polymer such as PETG. A film consisting of a first layer of an amorphous polyester such as APET for heat sealing to the PETG, a second layer of a polyester such as PET, and an adhesive layer is used to laminate a graphical paper based cover thereby allowing the laminated cover to be heat sealed to the blister portion. In a preferred embodiment, the PET and APET are preferably coextruded.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Inventor: Anthony Trajkovich

Patent number: 8047365Abstract: A foldable case for storing a multimedia device including a first protective sheet, a second protective sheet and a connecting unit is disclosed. The second protective sheet is used for securing the multimedia device. The connecting unit disposed between the first protective sheet and the second protective sheet may serve as a hinge with respect to which the first protective sheet is foldable over the second protective sheet. The connecting unit has an earphone receiving cavity, and a magnetic element is located in the earphone receiving cavity for magnetically attracting a wireless earphone. Moreover, as the wireless earphone is in the proximity of the earphone receiving cavity, the magnetic element magnetically attracts the wireless earphone so that the wireless earphone may be accommodated within the earphone receiving cavity.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Inventors: Pi-Fen Lin, Man-Chun Wei, Hsiao-Hsuan Wei

Patent number: 7967139Abstract: The present disclosure relates to medical packaging for the accommodation of medical supplies. The medical packaging discussed herein has a plurality of panels, including a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, that are releasably secured together to establish a first sterile environment between the first panel and the second panel for the retention of a first medical supply, and a second sterile environment between the second panel and the third panel for the retention of a second medical supply. The panels are configured for relative movement such that movement of the first panel relative to the second panel reveals the first medical supply without compromising the second sterile environment, and movement of the second panel relative to the third panel reveals the second medical supply. The panels are arranged for sequential separation in accordance with the steps of the procedure in which the medical supplies are employed.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Tyco Healthcare Group LPInventor: Benjamin Brinker

Patent number: 7946424Abstract: A design board container enabling the arrangement and temporary positional securement of beading elements is provided. The container includes a base member and a lid member preferably in hinged relationship with one another. The base member and lid member include a design liner and lid liner, respectively, formed of a resiliently deformable and preferably compressible material. The liners are preferably substantially planar, i.e., a flat surface, so as to allow for free form designing unconstrained by preset channels. By closing the container, the lid surface engages the design surface and beading elements such that the beading elements deform the design liner and are positionally secured between the design liner and the lid liner. The surfaces of the lid liner and the design liner preferably comprise gripping members, such as filamentary or hair-like elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: DPG USA Inc.Inventor: Nikhil Gupta

Patent number: 7854319Abstract: A multifunctional cover device with a detachable PDA device includes a front cover, a back cover, and at least one rotatable accessory panel connected to the front cover at one side for holding the PDA device and a lighting lamp. The accessory panel is mounted at a concave surface of the front cover when it is folded and at this time, the lamp and the PDA device are aligned with the windows of the front cover. When the accessory board is rotated through 180 degrees from the concave surface of the front cover, it forms an extending front cover panel. According to another structure, the accessory board is slidably mounted in the hollow front cover. Therefore, the user is able to use the PDA device while reading and writing with illumination and sound by playing the PDA device.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2005Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Inventor: Yimwai Yau
