The present invention generally relates to waste containers and, more particularly, relates to a locking device for waste containers. The locking device is gravity actuated to an opened position on tilting of the container for dumping. The locking device allows the lid of the container, when the container is in an upright position, to be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the container. When the container is tilted from the upright position, e.g. to empty the contents of the container, the locking device is gravity actuated to allow the lid to open.

Locking device and method

The present invention provides a locking device for a waste container that keeps the lid of the container closed when the container is knocked over on its side, as may arise from a sudden jerking or jarring motion, such as by impact with the ground, to prevent spillage of its contents. The locking device allows the lid to open automatically when the waste container is tipped over by a dumping operation. The locking device includes a sliding block slidable between a locked position and an open position, and a pendulum weight detachably attached to a magnet, when detached from the magnet, the pendulum weight blocks the sliding block from sliding to the open position. When attached to the magnet, the pendulum weight allows the sliding block to slide to the open position.

Locking device for waste container and methods

The present invention provides a locking device for containers, such as waste containers. The locking device comprises a rolling member. When the locking device is in its upright position, the rolling member blocks the locking device from being able to rotate to an open position. When the locking device is tilted, the rolling member rolls to its release position which allows the locking device to rotate to the open position. The locking device also include a manual release mechanism for a user to manually place the rolling member into the release position, so that he/she can manually open the locking device when it is in the upright position.

Locking device and methods

The locking device is provided for waste containers. The locking device allows the lid of the container, when the container is in an upright position, to be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the container. When the container is tilted from the upright position, e.g., to empty the contents of the container, the locking device is gravity actuated to allow the lid to open automatically. The locking device is also provided with a manual release for manually opening the container.

Locking device and related methods

The invention generally relates to a closure device for waste containers, particularly residential or commercial waste containers. In particular, the invention relates to a waste container closure device which prevents the lid from opening when the container is accidentally tipped over on its side. The closure device contains two straps: a right side strap and a left side strap; two mounting devices: a right side mounting device and a left side mounting device; and one or more elastic members. Those components cooperate to allow the straps to connect over the top of the lid of the waste container to remain closed when it is accidentally tipped on its side.

Closure device for waste container

Locking device

A collapsible flotation device is provided and includes an inflatable member forming a closed loop and defining at least in part a first opening within the closed loop. The inflatable member has a first portion positioned to be a back support and a second portion configured to be disposed beneath a leg of the user, a floor of the first opening being disposed between the first and second portions. The inflatable member defines a second opening providing access of a foot of the user to water. The second opening has a smaller axial length than the first opening such that a third, forwardmost portion of the closed loop is positioned to be a foot support member.

Collapsible flotation device

The present invention generally relates to waste containers and, more particularly, relates to a safety locking device for waste containers. The locking device contains a base unit and a pivoting unit pivotally mounted to the base unit. The base unit contains a pinion member, having a cam thereon, non-movably attached to the base member. The pivoting unit includes a lock casing defining a cavity which houses a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism contains a locking member which is pivotally movable between a blocking position to prevent relative movement between the pivoting unit and the base unit, and a release position to permit the relative movement between the pivoting unit and the base unit.

A cigar ventilating implement includes both a cylindrical punch and a piercing member such as a needle or spike. The punch and piercing member are sequentially extendable in response to a continuous twisting motion of a knob, with the sequencing being controlled by multiple slotted guide cylinders, a pair of actuator/driving cylinders, and a detent mechanism that initially prevents and subsequently enables relative rotation of the actuator and guide cylinders. Retraction of the punch and piercing members is carried out upon reverse rotation of the knob.

Cigar ventilation implement

A cigar ventilating implement includes both a cylindrical punch and a piercing member such as a needle or spike. The cylindrical punch and piercing member are extendable from a housing of the implement by gripping laterally extending flanges or pins and pressing on an actuator. One or two coil springs may be provided to bias the punch and/or piercing member to a retracted position, and a retaining member may be provided to latch the punch in the extended position.

A fastening device for connecting identified openings, including: an elongated main body member defining a longitudinal axis, the main body member having a first end portion and a second end portion at opposite ends of the longitudinal axis; first and second tip end members located at the first end portion and second end portion of the body, respectively, the first and second tip end members each adapted to fit through one of the identified openings; and a first deformable interference portion located between the main body member and the first tip end member, and a second deformable interference portion located between the main body and the second tip end member; where the first and second deformable interference portions are each normally located in a rest state where they define an outer dimension that prevents their passage through one of the identified openings. Other embodiments, features and methods are also described.

Fastening devices and methods

Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof can include a unitary or one-piece body having first and second ends configured and operative to be coupled together or to be coupled to their respective complement in another of said fastening devices. The first end can include a ring or annular portion and a projection that are sized and shaped to fit around an anchor and in an orifice, respectively, of the second end. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof according to embodiments may be used with items, including footwear, apparel, luggage, a backpack, a bag, a purse, a boxing glove, a punching bag, football or lacrosse shoulder pads, or the like.

Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof

A collapsible flotation device is provided that uses a coilable spring coupled to a panel to collapse the device when the spring is coiled, and to expand the device when the spring is uncoiled configuration. The spring can be contained within a sleeve along the outer portion of the panel. A support member that traverses the panel is provided. An inflatable bladder disposed about a part of the outer portion of the panel and coupled to the support member buoyantly supports a body weight of a user. The combination of the inflatable bladder and the support member provide support for a user in a seated position on the panel. Many configurations are disclosed, including a multi-user collapsible flotation device, multiple connected single-user flotation devices, and so forth. A back support member and a headrest, both of which can be inflatable, provide additional support for a user to maintain a seated position on the panel. A foot support member is provided for the comfort of the user.
