Abstract:
A method of attaching book pages to a credit card sized cover by use of rectangular molded plastic assembly that includes, a folded molded plastic sheet and a page binder. The sheet has recessed portions that allow the thickness of a standard plastic credit card to be entrapped within the folded plastic assembly a pair of retaining blades are positioned within the folded assembly at an angle so that the blade portion is facing away from the plastic credit card. As the card is pushed into the folded plastic sheet it is prevented from being pulled out because of the blades. Each half of the folded sheet has a plurality apertures located adjacent and parallel to the living hinge. The apertures receive a spiral wire binding to retain a plurality of printed pages so that the pages form a book and the credit card sized sheet forms a book cover.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to a flexible photo album where the photos are printed on fabric pages and the pages bound together. More specifically, this invention relates to a unique method of collecting and arranging photographs, text and associated artwork digitally and printing that arrangement on a foldable page pair. The page pairs are cut from a soft flexible material and placed back to back with quilt batting between them, coupled together with serge type stitching around the perimeter of said page pair. Page pairs are stacked on the cover-back pair and the spine of the album is sewn in the middle and the page pairs are folded over at the spine forming the Quietbook.

Abstract:
A shopping bag is provided that can be transformed for use as a file holder for storing documents and items such as a large envelope. The shopping bag includes a rectangle-shaped body part formed by a pair of front and back sheets, handles provided to the open side of the body, and a file part that is integrally formed with the body and that is turned into a rectangle-shaped file holder when separated from the body. The file part includes a separation line to be used for separating the file part from the body, a joint line formed inside of the separation line along the two sides of the separation line, at which the front and back sheets are joined together, and a cut-out part formed as a part of the separation line to be used as a starting point for separating the file part from the body.
Abstract:
An illuminated assembly, and methods of making and using such an illuminated assembly, whereby the illuminated assembly includes a panel and at least one sheet coupled to the panel, the sheet capable of overlaying engagement with the panel. The sheet can include a sheet front surface opposite a sheet back surface, and at least one light transmission portion disposed therein, whereby the light transmission portion can communicate between the sheet front and back surfaces. Further, the illuminated assembly can include a light source operatively coupled to the panel, whereby in an activated condition, the light source can provide light to the panel. Following, the light can be transmitted from the panel through the light transmission portion of the sheet such that the light can be viewable by a viewer of the sheet front surface.
