  • Publication number: 20230136968
    Abstract: A barbecue spatula is taught having a handle that can attach to any ferromagnetic surface, and specifically to a side table of a grill. The handle of the spatula has a front side and a rear side, and the front side has a lower front side and an upper front side. The upper front side is attached to the rear side by a hinge element positioned at the distal end of the handle, allowing for the upper front side to swing out from the rear side. Magnets on the inside of the upper front side allow the attachment of the handle and the entire barbecue spatula to a side table of a grill. Ferromagnetic structures on the inside surface of the rear side keep the upper front side from swinging freely. This handle can be used for other barbecue tools, including barbecue forks, barbecue brushes, etc. The handle can also be used for other tools.

  • Patent number: 10368156
    Abstract: A configurable earbud retention and stabilization system is disclosed herein. The configurable earbud retention and stabilization system includes a bendable earloop configured to fit over an ear of a user, the bendable earloop having a first end and a second end oppositely disposed relative to the first end, the bendable earloop defining a clip aperture proximate to the first end, the bendable earloop configured to be deformed into a plurality of different positions so as to provide a customized fit for the user; and an earbud clip, the earbud clip forming a cavity configured to receive an earbud headphone therein, the earbud clip including a connecting member received within the clip aperture of the bendable earloop so as to detachably couple the earbud clip to the bendable earloop. In some embodiments, the bendable earloop includes an inner wire enabling the bendable earloop to be deformed into the different positions.

  • Patent number: 10097915
    Abstract: A system for earbud headphones holds the earbud headphone on during movement. The system has a ā€œCā€ shaped ear frame with a first end and a second end. The first end has an opening. The ear frame is formed from a soft plastic. A clip has a concave side that mates with an earbud headphone. A pin is attached to the clip and detachably extends through the opening in the ear loop. The opening has a spherically concave shape with a hole in the center. The pin has a ball shaped head that mates with the spherically concave shape to form a ball and socket arrangement. As a result, the clip is able to rotate 360 degrees. The stem of the pin is smaller than the hole and this allows the clip holding the earbud speaker to tilt.

  • Patent number: 9923351
    Abstract: A universal bracket for electronic device, electrical devices, and their cabling is made up of one or more interconnected bracket plates. Each bracket plate has a rectangular base having a first side and a second side. A number of standoff platforms are attached to the second side. The standoff platforms have a polygonal cross section with a number of sides. A hole extends through one of the sides. A number of screw holes are in the rectangular base. The universal bracket can be screwed or otherwise affixed to a mounting surface. A zip tie or other tie is used to hold electronic and electrical devices and associated wires semi-permanently to the universal bracket.

  • Publication number: 20130000564
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a refillable pet treat that has a rigid housing with a first face and a second face. A first cavity is in the first face of the rigid housing. A second cavity is formed in the first cavity. A solid surface forms the second face. The rigid housing is in the shape of a bone. The owner spreads their choice of dog food or other spreadable food in the first and second cavities. This allows the owner to select a low calorie food their pet likes. It also allows the owner to select a pet food that does not cause any adverse reaction in their pet. The treat may be frozen after the food is spread into the cavities. This increases the time it takes the pet to extract the food, which works their jaw calming the dog while significantly reducing the cost of the treat.
