Remote-activation locks designed to permit unlocking and/or locking of the lock without physical manipulation of the lock are articulated to a product/good in a manner so as to deny one or more benefits associated with the product/good.

Remote-activation lock system and method

A cooking oil container has a filter cup retained at the upper end thereof. The filter cup retains a planar circular filter at the lower end and a seal between the filter holder and the bottom of the filter cup prevents oil from overflowing around the circumference of the filter holder to avoid the filter. The filter cup is spaced from the inner walls of the container to allow air to escape from the bottom of the container. The top of the container has a grip ring and the inverted top is useable as a drip tray for the filter cup while oil is being poured out of the container.

Container for storing a liquid such as cooking oil

A retainer for holding a plurality of waterfowl decoys has at least three arms pivotally mounted on a pin so as to be moveable between a first position in which the arms are aligned parallel to each other for storage and a open position in which the arms are angularly oriented with respect to one another. The device includes a locking pin for fitting into a first set of holes in the three arms for locking the arms in the first position and fitting into a second set of holes in the arms for locking the arms in the second position. The device further includes a moveable post at the end of each arm for retaining a waterfowl decoy and a ratchet engagement between the post and the arm to permit manual movement of the post with respect to the arm to its desired orientation to retain the post in the desired orientation after it has been positioned without requiring the tightening or untightening of screws and the like.

Waterfowl decoy mounting device

A storage and multi-positional display apparatus, particularly suited to dental equipment and materials, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cover having individual rigid segments which are hinged together, with a storage tray secured to one of the segments. The apparatus can be transformed from a storage position wherein the segments are folded to form an enclosure surrounding the tray and protecting its contents, into one of many angled display positions wherein the tray is exposed. The angled positions mount the tray at an angular orientation best suited to the particular user performing a particular dental procedure, while the cover and tray provide for aseptic conditions and minimized cross-contamination of the dental equipment and material.

Blanks of stiff material such as corrugated cardboard are foldable to form an ottoman and an arm chair.

Furniture made of foldable materials

A modular light unit is disclosed which has a housing including an openable access panel with an electric lamp mounted in the housing. The housing has opposed ends which respectively mount male and female double insulated electrical connector plug means therein for electrically connecting the light unit to another light unit. The double insulated connector is formed with fully isolated terminals.

A tibial resector guide having an angularly adjustable head controlled by a thumb actuated slide mechanism. The head may be positioned in a plurality of predetermined angular orientations in the anterior-posterior plane. The cutting head guide includes angled side walls which permit the guide to have a narrow aperture yet allow the saw blade to completely pass through the tibia. Further, the tibial resector of this invention includes a telescoping rod and a length adjustment mechanism adjacent the head for providing small height adjustments for positioning the head. The length adjustment member includes an enlarged thumb wheel to ease operation. A pinning platform is connected to the adjustment member such that it is shiftable with the adjustment member relative to the guide head. The pinning platform permits the surgeon to pin the upper end of the instrument to the patient's leg preventing movement of the instrument during resection. After pinning, the head may be further adjusted in height by rotating the adjustment member. The instrument further includes a sliding ankle adjustment to provide proper alignment of the guide with the tibia and femur.

Tibial resector guide

An item of foldable furniture has a first blank for a top portion and one or more second blanks for pedestals. The top blank is rectangular in shape with a plurality of parallel scores such that the blank may be folded for storage and shipping. A first score midway along the length of the first blank such that the top of the furniture is folded along its longitudinal centerline and has second and third scores such that the item of furniture may be folded and inserted into a package for shipping. Each pedestal is constructed of a second blank which also has a plurality of longitudinal scores dividing the pedestal blank into sections. When the ends of the pedestal blank are joined, a pedestal is formed. A double score is provided between a first and a second of the sections of the pedestal such that the first and second sections can be folded around a third and fourth section in order that the pedestal may be folded for storage and shipping along with the top.

A storage system for holding athletic equipment comprising a body member having a first side, a second side, a back opening, and an inside surface communicating with the back opening. The inside surface has a first and second inside arcuate surface respective in the first and second side of the body member. A pair of rib members is integrally bound to the inside surface of the body member. Each rib member has a rib lip protruding therefrom. The rib lip of each rib member protrudes towards each other such as to define a rib opening there between. A lower and upper height adjustment member is slidably disposed within the body member against the first and second inside arcuate surface. A first external channel member is connected to the first side and has a first channel opening, and a second external channel member is connected to the second side and has a second channel opening. A first bracket is slidably disposed in the first external channel for supporting and retaining athletic equipment, such as a bicycle, off a support surface, such as the floor. Similarly, a second bracket is slidably disposed within the second external channel for supporting and retaining athletic equipment off the support surface. A method for storing a bicycle.

Storage system for holding athletic equipment and a method

A hinge assembly is disclosed. A jamb cover of the assembly is adjustably mounted relative to a wall jamb. An adjuster sub-assembly is mounted within the jamb cover. The adjuster sub-assembly includes a bracket with a nut mounted thereon. An adjuster screw, the head of which is secured in a keyhole slot of the wall jamb, threadably engages the nut. A leaf spring is attached to the bracket, and a hinge member for the door extends through the jamb cover and contacts the leaf spring. The hinge is thus concealed from view.
