A saw blade holding and storage apparatus includes a plurality of flexible pockets. Each of the flexible pockets has a back wall and a front wall joined along their bottom and lateral edges. Each of the pockets has a top edge having an opening extending therein and defining a primary opening. The pockets each have an approximately same width and height with respect to each other. The width of the pockets is a distance between the lateral edges. The plurality of pockets includes pockets having one or more sleeves configured for receiving at least one of a plurality of saw blades. Each of the sleeves includes lateral and bottom boundaries formed by attached portions of the front and back walls.

A circular saw blade storage apparatus includes a panel having a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge. The first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other. A first housing is hingedly coupled to the first edge and a second housing is hingedly coupled to the second edge. The first and second housings each have a top side having a plurality of slots therein. The first and second housings may each be positioned on the panel so that the top sides face each other. Each of a plurality of saw blades may be removably extended into one of the slots so that the blades are stored within the housing.

A quick-on cap (10) is provided for engaging a filler neck (22). The cap (10) includes a closure for closing the mouth of the filler neck (22) and a gripping mechanism for gripping the filler neck (22) to establish a fuel vapor seal between the closure and the filler neck (22). The closure includes a core (18) and a sleeve (14) that is movable relative to the core (18). The sleeve (14) carries a sealing ring (34) that is configured to seal against the filler neck (22). The gripping mechanism is coupled to the core (18) and sleeve (14) and grips the filler neck (22) to compress the sealing ring (34) between the sleeve (14) and the filler neck (22) in response to movement of the core (18) relative to the sleeve (14) in a cap-installation direction. The closure also includes a handle cover (12) coupled to the core (18) to make it easy for a user to move the core (18) relative to the sleeve (14) in the cap-installation direction an amount sufficient to actuate the gripping mechanism. The sleeve (14) is formed to include a passageway extending therethrough and containing the cylindrical core (18). The core (18) is rotated a fraction of a turn relative to the sleeve (14) to actuate the gripping mechanism.

Quick-on fuel cap

A filler neck includes an internal tube that is movable to open and close the filler neck. The movable tube is formed to include a fill passageway that extends therethrough and is configured to deliver fuel from a fuel-dispensing nozzle to a vehicle fuel tank when the filler neck is open. The 'moving' fill passageway is closed when the filler neck is closed and opened when the filler neck is opened. An inlet opening into the moving fill passageway is formed in an outer end of the movable tube and an outlet opening for discharging liquid fuel from the moving fill passageway for delivery to the fuel tank is formed in an inner end of the movable tube. A fill passageway closure member is appended to a filler neck conduit and positioned to lie in a filler neck vent passageway in spaced-apart relation to the mouth of the conduit. The movable tube is positioned in the conduit for movement in the vent passageway to cause the fill passageway to engage or disengage the fill passageway closure member so as to control opening and closing of the filler neck during the after refueling.

A layered label for containers and the like. The label has for the outermost layer, a thin scratchable surface that when scratched, reveals a contrasting color below. By scratching through the surface of the label, one may legibly write information on the label. The label allows consumers to conveniently record information on an article with a fingernail and therefore without the need for a writing implement. The label may be a single layer of scratchable coating over a contrasting color on the surface of the container, or it may be three layers, in which the scratchable coating is the top layer applied over a base label of contrasting color with pressure sensitive adhesive and a peel away backing on the bottom layer.

Scratch-off marking label

An assembly is provided for controlling filling of a vehicle fuel tank having a filler neck. The assembly includes a capless fuel and fuel vapor handling system for controlling a filling operation of a fuel tank and the discharge of fuel vapors from the tank and filler neck both during and after the filling operation.
