  • Publication number: 20210120783
    Abstract: A two-handed retractable dog leash that provides two gripping handles integrated into a retractable leash. This eliminates problems handling large, strong and aggressive dogs by using the strength of both of the user's arms. The length of the handle allows enhanced control of the lease position to avoid becoming wrapped, by the dog, with the leash.

  • Patent number: 10612747
    Abstract: A linear light fixture with gap filler elements. The fixture comprises two primary structural components: a base and a light engine, which may be removably attached. The base comprises a body with end panels at both ends and is mountable to an external structure. The light engine comprises the light sources, an elongated lens, and any other optical elements that tailor the outgoing light to a particular profile. A gap filler element is disposed between the light engine and the end panels at one or both ends of the base to fill the space between those elements, giving the appearance that the light engine extends continuously to the end panel and eliminating direct imaging of the light sources outside the fixture. External reflectors may also be included to further shape the output beam.

The light engine comprises the light sources, an elongated lens, and any other optical elements that tailor the outgoing light to a particular profile. External reflectors are included to further shape the output beam. The reflectors may be shaped to define louvers which direct some of the emitted light in a direction opposite the primary emission direction, e.g., as uplight. The fixtures may be connected in a serial arrangement using a joiner.

  • Patent number: 4166534
    Abstract: A number of articles, such as jars, are packaged in a sleeve made from a blank of foldable sheet material. The blank comprises a top panel, a number of spaced apart side forming panels, a pair of strip panels hingedly joining the side forming panels and opposite pairs of bottom forming panels provided by the sheet material between adjacent side forming panels as extensions of the strip panels. The top panel abuts one end of the jars; the side panels extend alongside the jars so that the jars are visible in the space between them; and the strip panels are turned outwards so that the bottom forming panels of each pair project mutually inwards and overlap in abutment with the other end of the jar.
