A toilet having a first-magnet secured to the terminal end of the toilet's flush-arm and a second-magnet secured to the toilet's lid such that when the lid is in its open or up position, the two magnets align preventing the flush-arm from rotating upward to cause the toilet to flush. Conversely, when the lid is down and the two magnets are separated, the flush-arm can be rotated upward causing the toilet to flush. In another example, a magnet-attracting component, such as iron, cobalt or nickel, can be substituted for one of the magnets. A kit for retrofitting an existing toilet is also disclosed.

Apparatus to prevent a toilet from being flushed when the lid is up

A system and method for controlling multiple transponders in an aircraft to prevent the aircraft from becoming invisible to air traffic control. If a first transponder is turned off when the aircraft is airborne, a second transponder will automatically switch on. In some implementations, if the second transponder is turned off, a third transponder will automatically switch on. In one implementation, the third transponder cannot be turned off while the touchdown-relay confirms the aircraft is in the air. When the aircraft has landed, whichever one of the three transponders is on may be turned off. In some implementations the multiple transponders are arranged in a circular daisy chain.

The present disclosure is directed to a one-piece, injection-molded stackable rocking chair. More specifically, it is directed to the configuration of the rockers that join the rocking chair's front and rear legs. The rockers' interiors contain a plurality of closely-spaced thin-wall ribs configured so that the rocker's interior structure provides the rigidity and structural integrity necessary to pass the government and industry strength tests. The thin-wall ribs may be, for example, configured in a zigzag manner, forming acute angles with respect to the rockers' sidewalls to form triangular-shaped and/or parallelogram-shaped cells. The rockers' top surface may be open so that the thin-wall ribs and cells are visible from above and the rockers' bottom surfaces are closed to spread the weight of an occupied rocking chair over an area large enough to not damage the floor upon which the rocking chair sits. Alternatively, to provide a different aesthetic, the top may be closed and the bottom open. Two such rockers are integrally injection-molded with a rocking chair body to form a one-piece, injection-molded, stackable rocking chair, preferably in resin and preferably in a two-part mold.

The present disclosure is directed to a monobloc rocking chair. The rocking chair includes a seat, backrest, a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, and rockers extending between front and rear legs. The chair is molded of a single material include a downwardly opening cavity and formed to taper outwardly from top to bottom. The cavity is formed by the seat being supported directly from below by front legs and being supported directly from above by a backrest. Rear legs are spaced from the seat. This allows two identical chairs to nest when vertically stacked for compact shipping, storage, or display. The monobloc rocking chair can include one or more arms or be armless.

A Venetian, horizontal or mini-blind that incorporates a decorative edge treatment for the interior-facing long edge of the blind's slats. The exterior-facing long edge of the blind's slat remains straight, such that the exterior appearance is unchanged.

Interlocking drawer organizer

Closet organizer

A closet organizer adapted to be secured to a closet rod or rack having a switch actuated rotatable belt. A plurality of said hooks are mounted on the belt for holding ties or belts. A translucent lighting panel extends about substantially the entire outer periphery of the organizer. Lights are disposed in the organizer for illuminating the panel and providing light below the switch when the belt is rotated.
