Patent number: 8341861Abstract: Disclosed is a display structure in which an insertion opening, slide grooves, a first fitting portion and a ridged portion along which the display plate bends when the display plate is bent arranged in the loading sections of a support body in a suitable manner to ensure that when the display plate is inserted into or removed from the loading unit, a force is exerted on both sides of the display plate in either the direction from the display surface side to the rear surface side thereof or the direction from the rear surface side to the display surface side thereof, and a force is exerted in another direction at the center region of the display plate. As a result of configuring in this manner, the display plate deforms so that the entire display surface side comes to have a convex or concave shape, thereby allowing the display plate to be attached to or detached from the support body without forcible localized deformation of the display plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Inventor: Teruaki Matsushita

Patent number: 6434872Abstract: A film cut into a screen is correctly and easily fitted onto a slide mount. For this purpose, the slide mount is formed by joining a mount and a cover together, and windows are opened in the central portions of the mount and the cover, respectively. A film-placing portion is provided surrounding the window of the mount, and positioning pins are studded at four corners of the film-placing portion so as to be corresponded to engaging holes at both side portions of the film. Positioning holes are perforated in the periphery of the window of the cover at positions opposed to the positioning pins. The film is placed on the film-placing portion, and the positioning holes of the cover are brought into engagement with the positioning pins of the mount while the cover is being depressed onto the film. Then, the engaging holes of the film engage with the positioning pins, and the film is correctly fitted onto the slide mount.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Inventor: Minoru Inaba

Patent number: 6318012Abstract: A post plastic lens photographic slide mount made from a plastic slide mount includes a first and second plastic frame portions connected along an outer border with a pocket into which a photographic film slide can be inserted. A top plastic lens and a bottom plastic lens that can be introduced to the plastic slide mount. The plastic lenses can be added at the same time the photographic film slide is inserted into the plastic slide mount, or the lenses may be added after the plastic slide mount has been assembled. The lenses are held in place by a tongue and groove arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: James A. Truc

Patent number: 6105297Abstract: A stereo slide mount system that can reproduce an accurate stereo effect to facilitate a mounting operation and accurate positioning. A transverse or vertical alignment or positioning guide is used to position the stereo slide film in combination with longitudinal positioning pins. In one embodiment, the vertical positioning guide comprises a plurality of pins, and in another embodiment a plurality of raised edges. A set of plural types of stereo slide mounts 1 (#0 to #n) in which the width W of windows stepwisely decreases with each mount having the same window pitch Pw and different window widths W. A base frame is provided with positioning pins for engaging perforations on the film, and a cover frame is provided with pin holes to be engaged with the positioning pins. The positioning pins and the pin holes are provided at positions such that the inner vertical edges of the windows are brought into agreement with the inner edges of the pictures of the film.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Inventor: Minoru Inaba

Patent number: 6105296Abstract: A stereo slide mount can reproduce an accurate stereo effect to facilitate easiness of mounting operation and accurate positioning. Plural types of stereo slide mounts 1 (#1 to #n) that widths W of windows stepwisely decrease have the same pitch Pw of the windows and different width W of the windows and fitting pitches of right and left films. A base film is provided with a positioning pin 6 for engaging perforations of the film, and a cover frame is provided with pin holes 7 to be engaged with the positioning pins 6. The positioning pins 6 and the pin holes 7 are provided at positions that the inner vertical sides of the windows are brought into agreement with the inner edges of the pictures of the film. The stereo slide mount having smaller widths of the windows increases gap width (P.sub.0, P.sub.1, P.sub.2, . . . ) between two sets of right and left positioning pins 6 to extend the pitches of the right and left films, and the outer masking amounts of the right and left films increase.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1997Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Inventor: Minoru Inaba

Patent number: 6065235Abstract: A one-piece or two-piece slide mount, having a window and an inner receiving chamber for the slide film which can be introduced into the mount from a narrow side thereof, and at least two guide ribs running in the direction of insertion, located outside the window on two sides in the transverse direction to the direction of insertion and non-slidably fixing this film transverse to the direction of insertion and on the plane of the inserted slide film. These guide ribs form an insertion aid. Over a longer initial guide portion (7) starting from the insertion entrance in the transverse direction to the direction of insertion (E), the two guide ribs (5, 6) as an insertion aid have a much greater distance between them than the width of the slide film and with an inclined transition portion (8) in the direction of insertion (E) merge into a fixing portion (9). Such fixing portions (9) are spaced apart in the same transverse direction corresponding to the width of the slide film.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: L+N Plast-Vertriebs GmbHInventor: Arnold Neuhold
