Sheet Material Patents (Class 24/DIG9)
  • Patent number: 5516114
    Abstract: A game board and plurality of game pieces, are provided, called "jumpertop clipper disks". A jumpertop clipper disk is fun because it may be jump-flighted by flexing it between thumb and forefinger, aiming, and quick-releasing, so that it will jump forth as an aimed, self propelled projectile, toward positively scored targets and negatively scored hazards. This requires skill in aiming and quick-releasing to hit targets and avoid hazards. Clipper disks may be decorated with indicia and logo. They may be clipped onto clothes, hair, school books, and personal effects as decorations. They may be linked, one to another, to form a chain of identifiable, collectible disks, for team identity. Score is kept for each jump-flight. The highest net score for player or for team, is the winner.

  • Patent number: 4332060
    Abstract: A spring clip having a pair of opposing flat holding members the leading ends of which are resiliently pressed against each other to clip sheets of paper or the like therebetween and opposing ear-like projections which extend widthwise from the side edges of the opposing holding member, respectively, and serve to open the leading ends of the holding members in cooperation with opening means of a special device for applicating clips. In contrast with a conventional spring clip of the same type, the disclosed clip has no levers pivoted to the leading ends of the holding members, which are used to open the leading ends of the holding members for the purpose of inserting therebetween the sheets to be clipped, and, therefore, is advantageous since the clipped sheets are not prevented by the levers from being turned up.
