Patent number: 7395621Abstract: The invention is a promotional structure, such as a greeting card, which is collapsible to fit into a flat envelope for mailing, and which unfolds into the shape of a recognizable type of building, such as a house. Some of the panels are flexibly joined to one another while others (or portions of others) carry reusable fasteners, such as ribbons corresponding to complementary holes on adjacent panels. When the structure is unfolded and the fasteners join the corresponding panels, the panels define the building's shape and its promotional theme. The design provides a structure well suited for distributing promotional material in a medium that is different than traditional greeting cards or brochures, and the structure may be fabricated either from a plurality of panels secured to each other or from the die-cutting and scoring of a single sheet of material.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2006Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Inventor: Anna G.

Patent number: 7004377Abstract: A food serving apparatus having a flat food-supporting member consisting of a material sized to prevent served food from contacting unsanitary surfaces, and having sufficient rigidity, to support one or more food items. The food-supporting member has at least one food-retaining portion integrally formed adjacent thereto which extends upward, or can be positioned upward by a user, relative to the food-supporting member, in a manner which increases rigidity of the member. The food-supporting member has at least one bendable cross-section tangent to at least one user-breakable joint of a food-retaining portion to allow separation of the separable joint(s). Breaking of the joint(s) allows a user to bend the food-supporting member downward and away from food supported to facilitate the eating experience. The apparatus accommodates a variety of shapes and optionally includes a fold-over tab to assist a user in securing food beneath the tab and above the food-supporting member.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2002Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Inventor: Darrell J.
