Abstract: A collection apparatus for storing prolate photos belongs to the technical field of cultural relic protection equipment and includes multiple drawable arched drawing-type plates disposed in the cabinet, which enables the prolate photos to be fully flattened without repeated and memory curling. At the same time, a magnetic plating board is embedded in the bottom of every arched drawing-type plate, and a plurality of soft magnetic strips are placed on the surface of every arched drawing-type plate, and the magnetic attraction is formed between the magnetic plating board and the soft magnetic strip for fixing the prolate photos. As a result, the collection apparatus is reasonable in design and convenient to use, and is able to durably and stably protect prolate historical photos.

Abstract: A horizontally-aligned, adjustable scroll including scroll assemblies frictionally and/or mechanically engaging a base pedestal. The scroll also includes a fixed display horizontally-aligned between the scroll assemblies. The scroll is adjustable by moving the scroll assemblies forward and backward to improve positioning of the fixed display.

Abstract: The wrist note pad has an elongated housing having its respective ends pivotally connected to the opposite ends of a wrist fastening band. Within the housing is a scrolled paper roll journaled adjacent its one end and a take-up roll shaft journaled adjacent its opposite end. A rewind knob and a paper feed knob are both positioned outside of the housing and are connected to the respective scrolled paper roll and take-up roll shaft positioned within the housing. A writing surface cover is attached by a hinge to the top surface of the wrist note pad and it has a pair of longitudinally spaced laterally extending slots therein through which the scrolled paper would be threaded to provide a writing surface atop the cover.

Abstract: A device for displaying the definition of words listed alphabetically in sequence on a continuous roll of tape. The tape is rolled past a display window between two rollers each linked by a belt to a reversible motor. A cursor is externally slidably mounted on the housing so as to travel under manual pressure transversely to the direction of travel of the tape, with an electrical contact brush internally mounted to the cursor above the tape which makes contact with a metal idler roller under the tape when the cursor is positioned so that the brush passes through a hole in the tape. A hole is located in the tape at the beginning of each set of words of each letter of the alphabet, with the transverse location of such holes corresponding to markings on the housing to which the cursor may be aligned.

Abstract: A manually adjustable indicating device such as a wall or desk calendar, a price board or the like includes a housing structure having a central flat base plate with overturned side edges defining a storage cavity on each side of the base plate together with support plate means slidable into the housing structure between a pair of spaced guides formed along the side edges of the flat base plate and a plurality of spaced apart flanged ribs formed on the support plate so as to receive the edges of a self-coiling tape and thereby to hold that portion of the tape which is adjacent the support plate means in flat face contacting relation therewith and so as to allow the coiled ends of each tape to occupy the storage cavities on each side of the base plate, each tape having visually observable indicia thereon which may be changed by simple manual finger touch whereby the portion of the tape which is exposed is moved and whereby one end of the tape is uncoiled and the other end is coiled.

Abstract: A compact note scroll includes a base on which a pair of rotatably mounted shafts carry an elongated strip of paper, an intermediate portion of which is accessible for writing thereon through a window aperture in a case which covers the base. The case has a wrist strap and the device may be worn on the wrist in the manner of a wrist watch. The shafts may be manually rotated to advance fresh portions of the strip of paper successively into registry with the window aperture.
