US Patent:

41942426, Mar 18, 1980

Filed:

Sep 22, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/725535

Inventors:

Robert Robbins - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A method and a system are provided wherein an interest rate fluctuates according to the ratio of a borrower's funds on deposit with the lender, to the borrower's outstanding indebtedness (or to the outstanding indebtedness combined with line of credit) at any time, and for the duration of a selected period of time. The ratio of the borrower's funds on deposit with the lender, to the borrower's loan balance (or to the borrower's loan balance combined with line of credit), forms a Compensating Balance. This method and system provide for each individual lender to set a "par point", which is the Compensating Balance required by the lender in order for the borrower to qualify for a pre-determined interest rate. The interest rate of the loan automatically fluctuates inversely to the fluctuation of the borrower's Compensating Balance from the "par point". As the Compensating Balance increases, the interest rate decreases, and as the Compensating Balance decreases, the interest rate increases.

Filed:

Apr 27, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/034034

Inventors:

Mark A. Turetsky - New York NY

International Classification:

B65D 7300

US Classification:

206466

Abstract:

A display card for holding and dispensing articles includes rows of attached, protruding, tear-off tabs formed by cutting and bending a sheet which is semi-rigid and tearable. The tabs are generally keyhole-shaped with the head end of the keyhole being rounded and the stem end remaining attached to the card when the tabs are formed. By flexing, the rounded tab end is inserted through a lesser diameter hole in the article for display, thereby locking the article to the card. The article which may be in form of a product or package for a product may be removed from the card by pulling which causes the tab to tear until it separates from the card. A transverse slit in the card below each tab limits the extent of tearing. Articles remain attached regardless of card orientation until the article is intentionally removed.
