A reminder card having a printed message is printed directly on the mailing envelope on the rear lower portion of the envelope and is perforated for easy removal. The reminder card is slipped into a window pocket on the front face of the envelope to display the reminder message. A base for forming the envelope into an upstanding display is formed by bending a flap on the bottom rear of the envelope upward into an arc and adhering the flap to a gummed flange formed from the outer edge of the sealing flap of the envelope to create a triangular shaped display capable of remaining upright. A magnetic strip glued to the envelope allows the envelope to be secured to a vertical ferrous surface.

Reminder display envelope

An envelope, bag or other mailing device for preventing the shifting of an item located within the envelope and a method for making the same is provided. The envelope includes a front panel, a back panel and at least one protrusion. The back panel is coupled to the front panel to form an interior portion formed between opposed interior surfaces of the front and back panels. The protrusion is coupled to one of the opposed interior surfaces and extends into the interior portion of the envelope. In another embodiment, a second protrusion is coupled to the other side of opposed interior surfaces and extends into the interior portion of the envelope. The protrusions are adapted tp associate with one another to protect items contained within the envelope from external forces and prevent the item from moving around within the interior portion of the envelope.

Packaging envelope and method for making the same

A flexible die is provided which incorporates a base die and a superimposed interchangeable cutting or embossing die. The base die is generally planar and is adapted to securely receiving the superimposed interchangeable die thereon. Protruding upwardly from the outer face of the base die is a raised cutting portion, a raised embossing portion, or both, which raised portion is adapted to cut, form, or emboss the outer periphery of a blank or substrate. The superimposed interchangeable die is generally planar, and includes a raised cutting or embossing portion protruding upwardly from the outer face thereof, which raised portion is adapted to cut, form or emboss a portion of the blank or substrate. At least a portion of the superimposed interchangeable die is adapted to be received onto at least a portion of the base die.

Interchangeable flexible die

A combination envelope and greeting card having a detachable card structure which is removable from the envelope and can function separately as a greeting card. Portions of some of the panels of the envelope can be separated from the envelope along lines of perforation, forming cards having two or more panels. The combination envelope and greeting card structure can also comprise a detachable display strip which includes an adhesive display assembly for securing the card structure when displayed in a standing position. Photograph retaining structures can also be included on one or more card panels.

A motive pump assembly comprising a hollow housing having an inlet valve and outlet valve for a fluid to be pumped, an inlet valve for a motive fluid operatively between open and closed positions, a vent valve and means for simultaneously opening and closing the inlet valve and vent valve for the motive fluid, and a float and over center linkage mechanism operatively connected to said valve actuating means, whereby the mechanism snaps over center when the float is located at upper and lower limit positions thereby producing a pumping action of fluid to be pumped through the housing and positive stop means ensuring over center tripping action of the linkage when the float is at opposing upper and lower limit positions.

Pressure motive pump assembly comprising a float, an over center linkage mechanism, and a pair of positive stop or abutment means for ensuring over center tripping action

A self-sealing envelope having an adhesive assembly positioned in such a manner so as to both adhesively secure the seal flap and adhere the envelope to another surface. When the seal flap of the envelope is in its closed position, the seal flap is received by, and only partially covers, a first portion of the adhesive assembly, with a second portion of the adhesive assembly remaining exposed. This first portion of the adhesive receives and seals the closed seal flap. The exposed second portion of the adhesive assembly is adapted to adhesively receive a surface, such as a package, another envelope, or other suitable surface, thereby retaining the envelope on such surface.

A necktie molding device, comprising a longitudinally tapered, elongated, hollow member for forming a knot-like appearance in a necktie to be worn by a person. The necktie molding device also includes an extended base member.

Necktie molding device and method of using

A combination hand washer and back scrubber, comprising an elongated strip of fabric, having two lateral edges, transverse, expansible strips attached to a first side of said fabric strip, each transverse strip extending substantially the entire width of said fabric strip, said transverse, expansible strips including sponge strips and abrasive strips aligned on said first side in an alternating manner, a water absorbent strip attached to an opposite second side of said fabric strip, said water absorbent strip being non-abrasive to skin, and a transverse elastic hand strap of elongated dimension, attached at opposite ends to said respective lateral edges of said fabric strip at approximately the midpoints thereof to form a loop for retaining said fabric strip in a folded position and for allowing the hand of a person to fit within said loop to use said combination hand washer and back scrubber as a wash cloth.
