An illuminatable assembly, and methods of making and using such an illuminatable assembly, whereby the illuminatable assembly can include at least one page and a support coupled to the page, whereby the support can be configured to support a light-emitting panel provided by a mobile computing device. When in an activated condition, the light-emitting panel can provide light to illuminate at least a portion of the page.

A hand held device for manually holding a multi-page document with a U-shaped element having a ring-shaped extension at one end of an elongated leg and a shorter leg parallelly spaced therefrom by a right angle extension at the opposite end of the elongated leg whereby the shorter leg is inserted between the pages along the inner side of the multi-page document's binding and the longer leg is positioned along the outer side of the multi-page document's binding such that a person can support the multi-page document with one hand by inserting, in part, a preselected finger of one hand through the ring-shaped extension.

An auxiliary binding jig is configured for assisting a plurality of binding members to bind a plurality of papers into a bound document, and includes an auxiliary plate body having opposite first and second planar surfaces, and a plurality of engaging holes extending through the first and second planar surfaces and each having a constriction which divides a respective engaging hole into two hole portions and which is formed by two press tabs defining therebetween a slot communicating with the hole portions. The press tabs are configured to press against an outer ring of each binding member when each binding member is inserted into a respective engaging hole through the slot so as to position each binding member on the auxiliary plate body.

The present invention provides a single-detent binder for holding loose-leaf paper sheets, which mainly includes a housing, one pair of symmetrically elongated baseplates, ring shaped components, a control component, and a pull rod. The control component is operable to move the rings for performing the locking and unlocking function. As the handle forms an essential and irreplaceable part of the whole mechanism, embodiments of the present invention disclose a single-detent binder with the control component constructed in a way to improve the durability of the internal components.

Generally, an illuminated assembly and methods for making and using illuminated assemblies. Specifically, an illuminated assembly including a plurality of pages, whereby each of the plurality of pages can be coupled to a light source which provides light to one or more page surfaces such that the light can be viewed by a viewer of the one or more page surfaces.

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.

A device that can be removably attached to an article, such as a book, tablet, journal, etc., and is useful for storing both related objects (e.g., pens, pencils, erasers, stylus, etc.) and unrelated objects (e.g., money, eye glasses, earbuds, checkbook, etc.). The device is preferably comprised of a backing, a sleeve attached to said backing, a pocket also attached to said backing and an implement holder attached to said pocket. In a further preferred embodiment, a second pocket or slot may be incorporated onto said sleeve and the device may also have at least one zippered enclosure.

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.

The present invention provides a single-detent binder for holding loose-leaf paper sheets, which mainly includes a housing, one pair of symmetrically elongated baseplates, ring shaped components, a control component, and a pull rod. The control component is operable to move the rings for performing the locking and unlocking function. As the handle forms an essential and irreplaceable part of the whole mechanism, embodiments of the present invention disclose a single-detent binder with the control component constructed in a way to improve the durability of the internal components.

A clip includes a resilient clip body and a pair of lever arms for opening and closing the clip body, which defines a chamber for retaining or bundling loose articles, such as cords. The clip body has a pair of lever contact zones disposed between a forward end portion and an arcuate rear portion, each of these zones and portions cooperating with the others to define the article-retaining chamber. The arcuate rear portion has a concave-inward shape and the forward end portion defines an opening at least when opened in response to an inward compressive force applied to the lever arms at a location spaced rearwardly from the lever contact zones of the clip body. Optionally, the resilient clip body defines an opening at the forward end portion, even when it is in a relaxed state, such as to facilitate selective removal of bundled articles from the chamber.
