A toe clip is designed for placement on a pedal for facilitating disengagement of a user's foot. The toe clip includes a foot strap member for capturing a user's foot. The strap member includes strap elements for engaging surfaces of the user's foot. A coupler is provided for selectively coupling the foot strap member to the pedal for facilitating the release of the user's foot from its capture by the toe clip. The coupler includes a bracket member coupled to the pedal, and a magnet member coupled with the bracket member. The coupler also includes a release member coupled to the foot strap member and magnetically coupled to the magnet member. A hinge is provided for hingedly coupling the release member to the bracket member, and a spring is provided for biasing the release member into engagement with the magnet member.

A retaining device suitable for removably interconnecting a battery with the housing of an electrical apparatus. The retaining device has a bracket connected to the housing. The bracket is provided with two stanchions adapted to receive the battery in a battery retention channel therebetween. A small latching channel facing outside of the battery retention channel is formed on one of the stanchions. A clamp having a latch is pivotably connected to the bracket at a location near the other of the stanchions. The assembly is operated by inserting a battery in the battery retention channel, pivoting the clamp until the latch is near the latching channel, and temporarily elastically deflecting the clamp until the latch can be engaged with the latching channel.
