Abstract: A tree stand system is provided. The tree stand system may include a tree stand. The tree stand may include a frame post, a platform portion engaged with the frame post, and a seat portion engaged with the frame post. Further, the tree stand may include an upper engagement device and a lower engagement device each configured to engage a structure. One of the upper engagement device and the lower engagement device may define a convex edge configured to extend toward the structure to allow the tree stand to roll against the structure to select a horizontal angle that the tree stand faces. The tree stand system may further include one or more of a ladder, a hoisting apparatus, and an accessory. The accessory may include a bow holder accessory or a hunting device accessory.

Abstract: A packaging for an implantable medical device such as a heart valve wherein the implantable medical device is immersed in a liquid medium. The packaging comprises ajar and a lid assembly having a seal and a ridge therebetween, the ridge being adapted to contact the seal. At least one circumferential leg is interposed between the lid assembly and the jar. The leg maintains a predetermined spacing between the lid and the jar and may be loaded in compression. The lid assembly may comprise a lid and an overcap. The overcap may turn independently of the lid and may apply compressive pressure to the lid over the ridge and seal. The lid and overcap may be coupled together by, for example, mating snap hooks. At least one of the lid or overcap may have a plurality of snap hooks. At least one of the plurality of snap hooks may be of different length than other of the snap hooks, whereby an asymmetric force may be applied to the lid when the overcap is loosened from the jar.

Abstract: A cap and Luer connector arrangement with an improved external seal is provided for a fluid transfer connector or fitting that has a nozzle with a surrounding annular collar located coaxially within a surrounding sealing lip. The cap includes a structure of resilient material which defines an end wall, an annular, inner sleeve extending from the end wall, and an annular, outer skirt extending from the end wall to define an annular receiving channel between the outer skirt and the inner sleeve. At least a portion of the inner sleeve has an inner surface for sealingly engaging the nozzle. A distal end of the outer skirt includes a seal region having a V-shaped cross-sectional crevice. The Luer connector sealing lip and seal region are distorted when the sealing lip is received into the crevice during initial screwed-on installation of the cap to the Luer connector, forming an external seal.
