Abstract: Anti-sweep devices which are operable to contain a plurality of packages disposed on a base within a cover or housing, and dispense packages one at a time. A door for accessing a product such as a package is disposed at a front portion of the device. The base includes a pusher axially aligned with the long axis of the base. A sled, lift plate, product retention tab, a sled biasing element and a means for retarding a biasing force imparted by the sled biasing element are positioned below the base. The sled is slidably oriented along the longitudinal axis of the base and has a door contacting end and sled biasing element couple to the opposite end. The sled is engageable to the means for retarding a biasing force imparted by the sled biasing element.

Abstract: A self-ligating orthodontic bracket has an archwire slot, two outer tracks extending in an occlusal-gingival direction on the outer lateral surfaces of the bracket, and a vertical trough extending in an occlusal-gingival direction between the outer tracks. A clip has two parallel outer arms and a central tongue between the outer arms. The outer tracks of the bracket slidably engage the outer arms of the clip and the central tongue is slidably engaged by the vertical trough of the bracket, thereby allowing the clip to slidably move between an open position in which the outer arms of the clip are retracted from the archwire slot to allow an archwire to be placed into the archwire slot, and a closed position in which the outer arms of the clip extend across the archwire slot to retain the archwire in the archwire slot.
