Vending machine

A safety gate has a frame with top and bottom assemblies spaced apart in a vertical direction and with opposed side assemblies spaced apart in a horizontal direction in a deployed configuration. A length of the top and bottom assemblies is extendable and retractable to adjust a width of the frame between the opposed side assemblies. A flexible barrier is connected to and supported by the frame. A one-way jack mechanism is carried on each of the top and bottom assemblies. The length of the top and bottom assemblies can be extended without actuating the jack mechanisms to adjust the frame to a desired width to loosely fit a space between two surfaces. The one-way jack mechanisms, when actuated, incrementally further extend the length of the top and bottom assemblies such that the frame interferingly fits between the two surfaces under compression.

Safety gate

Embodiments of the invention provide a water safety device used to increase participant visibility by passing water craft. The device is worn by the participant on his or her wrist and activated upon need at which time a flag is uncoiled and extended above the water. Upon conclusion of the need for visibility, the flag is replaced around the participant's wrist and ready for the next use.

Safety device for improved visibility of water sports participant

A safety gate has a frame with spaced apart top and bottom assemblies and spaced apart side assemblies in a deployed configuration. The top and bottom assembly length is extendable and retractable between the opposed side assemblies. A flexible barrier is connected to the frame. A one-way jack mechanism can be carried on each of the top and bottom assemblies. The length of the assemblies can be extended without actuating the jack mechanisms to adjust the frame to nearly fit a space between two surfaces. The jack mechanisms, when actuated, incrementally further extend the top and bottom assemblies so the frame interferingly fits between the two surfaces under compression. The frame can be reconfigurable between a compact configuration and the deployed configuration. The side assemblies can include latches that lock the frame in the deployed configuration.

Recyclable hanger

A tool for aiding marking or cutting is described. A V-shaped member having an edge formed at an exterior apex of the V for guiding a marker or cutting tool. The exterior surfaces of the V-shaped member may have a material applied having a higher coefficient of friction than that of the V-shaped member. The edge at the apex of the V may have two substantially planar surfaces, each of which forms a complimentary angle with the interior apex angle of the V, or a thin metal portion formed in the exterior apex of the V so that an edge thereof protrudes sloping towards a surface on which the tool is laid. A graduated scale may be applied to an exterior surface of the tool at a location near the apex.

Ruler with safety shield

A water cooler caddy device for use in conjunction with a water cooler or other beverage dispenser. The water cooler caddy has an arcuate inner surface as an interface with the water bottle and is sized such that it may be placed over the water bottle and slid down so that it either rests on an upper surface of the water cooler, or is supported by the side of the water bottle. The water cooler caddy may have a gap in the circumference so that the radius of the inner surface may be temporarily increased to facilitate installation. Partitions are used to form compartments to contain service items.
