Filed:

Apr 3, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/817250

Inventors:

Timothy Clegg - Torrance CA, US

International Classification:

G09F 1/00

US Classification:

4012403

Abstract:

A sound-producing folding insert for a magazine is disclosed. A foldable support structure comprises a primary page and a secondary page. The secondary page is folded upon itself to form a pocket that retains a sound emitting means. The sound emitting means includes an electronic microchip sound generating device that includes a switch means connected at one end to a slidable tongue mechanism that is attached at the other end to the primary page, such that upon opening of the folding insert by separating the primary and secondary pages the slidable tongue mechanism allows the switch means to close, thereby activating the sound emitting means. Conversely, closing the folding insert brings the primary and secondary pages together forces the slidable tongue mechanism to open the switch means, and thereby deactivating the sounds emitting means. The sound emitting means is relatively flat and includes a generally flat speaker mounted to the secondary page. Generally flat button batteries are included to power the device when the sound emitting means is activated.

Abstract:

A stored value card device comprises a scaled down model car having an upper body molded into a promotional object model such as a car in association with car accessory products. The model car may be a still model as well as an animated version with the assistance of an electric motor connected to the wheels and a remote controlled driving circuit installed inside the model. The model body is provided at its lower side a card dock and has a partially flat surface at its side and/or top surfaces to provide the viewers with the card identification as well as other information on the stored data. The card dock has an outer plate formed with a large rectangular opening and four perpendicular sidewalls and an inner plate in a two-tiered structure to form a pair of parallel guide slots between the two plates of the dock.

Abstract:

A food container has a box base with four side panels and four bottom flaps extending from the respective side panels to close the floor of the box base leaving the top open. The bottom flaps are so designed and glued together that the box sides can be folded flat for stacking and then unfolded into a box structure having its bottom wall closed automatically. The box base provides food-receiving area while carrying and serving the eatery. Raised from the top of the box base are circumferential edges defining a tray top. The tray top carries out the decorative role when it is popped open as is possible thanks to the inventive folding scheme implemented in the tray top. The tray top also has carrying handles for the user. The front face of the tray top in the serving mode can be decorated with various cutouts shaped as interesting objects.

Abstract:

An aroma visual message carrier is shaped into a card device for carrying multisensory messages to deliver two interchangeable images with a scent releasing mechanism linked to the very act of image change by a recipient. The carrier comprises an image changing frame including a still image member with a first image printed on it and a sliding image member with a second image print partially interlaced with the still image member so that a manual sliding action of the still image member brings the two images interchangeably fade in and out laterally through each other. The still image member has a deposit of scent material formed rearward of its visual side, and the sliding image member has at least one rough surface area on its visual side directly facing the scent deposit of the still image member to scratch and release the scent material to ambiance for the recipient to smell and see a creation of multisensory messages of the images and scent on the spot and; a medium holder adapted to be folded rearward of the visual side of the still image member of the image changing frame. The medium holder has a planar pocket for storing an electronic medium, which may be accessed at a later time through an electronic player to present data supplementary to the multisensory messages.
