  • Patent number: 7007353
    Abstract: A buckle arrangement for releasably connecting two parts of an object that includes a post which projects out at right angles from one part, and a ring-shaped body which is connected to the other part and which is received by the post. The ring-shaped body carries latching shoulders which engage with a waist in the post and which can be released from the post by applying pressure against two exposed press keys connected to the latch shoulders. The buckle arrangement can be used between a lateral end-part of an upper edge-region of a carrier pouch in a child-supporting harness and a chest strap included in the harness, or for mutually connecting the ends of a belt belonging to a babysitter.

  • Publication number: 20060000002
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for controlling dataflow on a databus, especially for avoiding reception problems by a receiver unit. The databus (12) connects at least one receiver unit (11) to one or several transmitter units (11). The method comprises the steps of transmitting by said receiver unit on said databus a control data sequence to be received by said transmitting units, which alter transmission mode.

  • Patent number: 6736299
    Abstract: A baby-carrying harness has fitted thereto a baby carrying pouch which includes a front wall that has at least one free side edge (24) which can be fastened to an adjacent harness chest strap (31) by means of a connecting device (41, 32) for supporting the front wall (22) of the carrier pouch on the harness (1) and define a baby leg opening between the front wall (22) and the chest strap (31) beneath the connecting device. The connecting device includes a hook fastening (75, 43; 32, 33) which has a downwardly extending finger (43) that engages a male part (75, 43) fitted on the front wall (22), and a finger-receiving female part (32, 33) carried by the harness (1, 31), wherein the upper part of the male part is connected to the front wall. The upper portion of the male part is joined to the front wall (22) in the proximity of the finger, at least in the region of the free end of said finger.

  • Patent number: 6637614
    Abstract: A child's plate includes a food bowl (10) which is supported by a surrounding raised rim (1) one upper edge-part (3) of which connects with the upper edge-part (11) of the bowl (10) and the other, lower rim part (2) of which defines a support plane (4) with which the rim rests on a planar support surface around the whole of its periphery. The rim (1) is adapted to support the bowl (10) above the support surface. The rim (1) slopes outwardly and downwardly from its upper edge towards its bottom edge (2). The inner wall surface of the bowl (10) and the outer wall surface of the rim (1) define a downwardly divergent angle of at least 20°. The bottom edge (5) of the rim (1) includes friction enhancing means (3) which counteracts displacement of the plate (1) on a planar support surface on which the plate rests. The vertical wall surface (12) of the bowl has in the vicinity of the free edge of the bowl wall a surface part (15) against which a perpendicular force can be applied with the finger of one hand.

  • Patent number: 6575273
    Abstract: A bag comprising a body (3) which has a lid (1, 2) on at least one of its two mutually opposing sides, wherewith the bottom edge of the lid is hinged to the bottom part of the body, wherein the lid (1, 2), which is substantially rigid, has an outwardly arched outer surface which is adapted to lie tangentially to the underlying bag supporting surface (55) at a distance from the area in which the bag (3) is supported by said surface (55) when the lid (1, 2) has been opened out. When in contact with the underlying supporting surface, the rim of the lid pitches a plane that defines with the underlying supporting surface (55) an angle that is greater than 5°. The bag includes means (12) adapted for limiting the maximal angle to which the lid can be opened relative to the body to a value at which the lid will lie tangentially to the bag supporting surface (55).

  • Patent number: 6487943
    Abstract: A torque-limiting screwdriver includes a shank disposed within a handgrip. A rear end of the shank engages the handgrip to enable an axial force to be transmitted from the handgrip to the shank. A release mechanism is provided to transmit rotation from the handgrip to the shank. The release mechanism is axially movable relative to both the handgrip and the shank and is spring biased into rotation transmitting relationship with the shank, whereby the rotation transmitting force applied to the shank is substantially independent of the axial force applied from the handgrip to the shank.

  • Patent number: 6339851
    Abstract: A toilet seat includes a seat ring (10) and means (14, 15, 16) for positioning the same relative to a toilet bowl. The positioning means include at least one pair of interconnected arms (14, 15) which are movably mounted on the seat ring (10) and capable of being brought synchronously to positions in which they engage the toilet bowl. The arms (14, 15) of each pair are designed for engagement with opposite inner surfaces or outer surfaces of the toilet bowl and are interconnected so as to move synchronously in opposite directions as they are brought to their positional settings.
