Container

A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latch assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. The lid may have a handle that has a stowed and a carry position, where the handle may be maintained in the stowed position until acted upon by a first force greater than a threshold force to move the handle from the stowed position to the carry position. Similarly, when in the carry position, the handle may be maintained in the carry position until acted upon by a second force greater than the threshold force to move the handle from the carry position to the stowed position.

A pair of garden shears is provided with a debris catcher that is attached to the back edge of each blade. Each debris catcher is transversely curved to extend over the blade and terminate in an upper edge that faces the upper edge of the other catcher. The catcher upper edges abut with one another to grip plant material therebetween and hold such plant material after it is cut by the blades. In addition, the transversely curved body of the catcher forms an upwardly facing, upwardly curved trough that is effective to catch small amounts of plant debris when the shears are being used in a vertically inclined position. The catchers are preferably molded from a plastic material and are flexible relative to one another to accommodate larger amounts of plant material.

A device and method for very rapidly and accurately tuning each string of a guitar by contacting the string perpendicularly in order to change the tension in the string. The device is located at a position between the bridge of the guitar and the end of the guitar string. A tensioning member consisting of a shaft and disk is located perpendicularly to each string. The disk has a string engagement means which contacts the string. The tensioning member is connected to a stepping motor. The stepping motor causes the tensioning member to displace axially. The vertical movement of the member causes the disk to contact the string perpendicularly and change the tension in the string, causing the string to become tuned.
