  • Patent number: 7784203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hanger devices to secure a tablet to a post-like support member on an upright support surface. The hanger device includes an elongated header portion, a flap panel portion extending therefrom, and an attachment element to secure the tablet. The header portion includes an opening such as an elongate slot or a plurality of bores. The support member is selectively positionable along the length of the slot or in the bores such that the tablet is suspended under the force of gravity in a skewed orientation relative to the support surface. A pouch may be securable to the panel portion so as to be interposed between it and the tablet. The present invention also relates to a calendar assembly that incorporates the hanger device as well as a calendar having a header portion allowing it to be supported in a skewed orientation.

  • Patent number: 5186496
    Abstract: An improved photographic album for displaying aligned planar pages includes an elongated rigid spine defining a mounting surface on which a pair of spaced retainers are mounted. Each planar page has a flexible margin which carries an elongated flat hinge having hooks at either end projecting outwardly from the flexible margin toward the retainers. Each hook engages a retainer to hold the page firmly in place yet allow the page to pivot relative to the spine to flip the pages in the album. A pair of aligned notches are present in the front lip of each retainer to facilitate insertion of the hooks into the slots. One of the notches is a rounded bearing surface against which a hook can bear to flex the hook and allow the other hook to move toward engaging the other retainer. That other retainer has a ramped notch along which the second hook can ride and against which the second hook can flex to move into engagement with the retainer.

  • Patent number: 5040216
    Abstract: A photo album assembly has a book-like cover formed of two sheets of plastic, edge sealed to afford front and rear cover panels hinged to a spine panel. In one embodiment each cover panel includes a pocket that receives a paperboard stiffener; in another embodiment stiffer material is used for the inner cover panel sheets. A pair of rectangular retainers are mounted on one cover panel, adjacent opposite ends of the spine panel; a plurality of long, thin binder members are mounted between the retainers, each binder member having slots at both ends that engage the retainers for this purposes. For each binder member there is a flexible hinge tape, having two adhesive-coated strips separated by a non-adhesive hinge strip; one adhesive strip mounts the hinge tape along the edge of the binder member, and the other adhesive strip mounts a photo on the binder member. Alternatively, the binder members may be of unitary construction, with just one adhesive strip for photo mounting.
