Abstract: An illumination system has a glove and an illumination device. The illumination device may be attached to an upper portion of the glove via first and second fastening materials. The illumination device includes a battery operably connected with a light source through a switch, for illuminating a selected part of a work space. A plurality of pliant support legs of the illumination device extend generally radially outwardly and downwardly, for supporting the housing upon the back of the hand. The first fastening material has a width and a length that are dimensioned so that the illumination device may be removably attached to the glove via the second fastening material to point in any of 360 degrees of rotation, such that the light source directs illumination in a selected direction with respect to the glove.

Abstract: A garment hanger comprises a header card and a clamp, the header card being preferably “free-floating” relative to the clamp to give a prospective purchaser a sense that the clamp is attached more to the garment than to the header card and that the card is thus disposable after purchase. In one embodiment, a hanger for displaying and holding an article such as a pair of gloves comprises a clothespin-like clamp comprising a pair of jaws resiliently biased about a pivot region to a closed, article-holding position, and a header defining an opening for receiving the pivot region of the clamp. Preferably, the opening in the header is larger than the pivot region of the clamp so as to provide for relative movement between the clamp and the header.

Abstract: A shock tube connector system comprises a substantially cylindrical detonator having a longitudinal axis a block body receiving the detonator therein, and an end cap. The detonator includes an axisymmetric exterior shell including a cylindrical main section, a cylindrical explosive end portion having a diameter less than the diameter of the main section, and a transition portion connecting the main section and the explosive end portion of the shell. An explosive charge is contained within the explosive end portion of the shell and is distributed along the longitudinal length of the explosive end portion. The explosive charge preferable comprises two portions of lead azide or a first charge portion of lead azide and PETN and a second charge portion of PETN. An initiating shock tube is operatively connected to the explosive charge via a delay element. The block body includes a housing within which the main section of the detonator is received.
