摘要： A transaction product assembly includes a transaction product and a supporting backer. The transaction product includes an account identifier, a primary article, and a panel. The account identifier links the transaction product to at least one of an account and a record, and the account identifier is machine readable by a point-of-sale terminal. The primary article defines a substantially planar surface. The panel extends across the substantially planar surface to define a pocket between the panel and the substantially planar surface. The supporting backer is formed separately from the transaction product and includes a flap extending into the pocket to at least partially couple the supporting backer to the transaction product. Other products, assemblies, combinations and associated methods are also disclosed.

摘要： A transaction card assembly includes a transaction card, a foldable backer, and an article. The transaction card includes an account identifier fixedly connected thereto. The account identifier is machine readable by a point-of-sale terminal and links the transaction card to a financial account or record. The foldable backer supports the transaction card and defines an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and a viewing aperture extending from the interior surface to the exterior surface. The article is coupled with the interior surface of the foldable backer such that a portion of the article is viewable through the viewing aperture when the foldable backer is in a folded configuration around the article. Stored-value cards, combinations, methods of facilitating use of a transaction product and other embodiments are also disclosed.

摘要： A transaction product includes a housing and a transaction card. The housing defines a storage chamber and a substantially planar surface. The substantially planar surface defines a perimeter portion and a recessed portion surrounded by, spaced from, and extending substantially parallel to the recessed portion to define a recess. The housing includes opposing tabs extending from the perimeter portion, toward each other, and partially across the recessed portion. The transaction card includes a machine-readable account identifier linking the transaction card to an account or record remote from the transaction product and having a value available for use as payment toward a purchase. The transaction card defines two opposing edges each selectively secured between the recessed portion of the substantially planar surface and a different one of the opposing tabs.

摘要： A transaction product assembly includes a transaction product and a mechanical article. The transaction product includes an account identifier fixedly connected thereto, wherein the account identifier links the transaction product to an account and is machine readable by a terminal. The transaction product also includes a transmitting electrical assembly and at least one control button configured to interact with the transmitting electrical assembly in a manner causing the transmitting electrical assembly to output a radio frequency signal. The mechanical article includes at least one movable member, a receiving electrical assembly, and a motor. The receiving electrical assembly is configured to remotely receive the radio frequency signal output from the transmitting electrical assembly and to activate the motor. When activated, the motor induces movement of the at least one movable member relative to a remainder of the mechanical article in a manner consistent with the radio frequency signal.

摘要： A hollow, cylindrical clutch adapter that surrounds a screw-on end cap and prevents the transfer of excessive torquing forces to the end cap so as to avoid over-tightening the end cap to a threaded neck of a fluid reservoir, such as that common to a squeeze bottle. The squeeze bottle includes an outer body that surrounds the fluid reservoir and a hollow head that surrounds the clutch adapter and is rotatable relative to the outer body. The clutch adapter includes a series of parallel aligned splines or teeth projecting radially inward thereof so as to be respectively interspersed between the usual ridges that are molded into the end cap, whereby to insure that a rotational force applied to the clutch adapter will be transmitted to the end cap. The hollow head is rotated to apply a corresponding rotational force to the end cap via the clutch adapter located therebetween. Once the end cap has been sufficiently tightened against the neck of the fluid reservoir, any further rotation of the head will cause the clutch adapter affixed thereto to slip and rotate around the end cap, such that excessive torquing forces that are applied to the head will be dissipated by the clutch adapter.
