    Abstract: An anchor assembly for hanging an object on a wall includes a first anchor component and a second anchor component. The second anchor component is pivotably associated with the first anchor component for movement between an anchoring orientation and a non-anchoring orientation to enable staged installation of the anchor assembly into a wall. At least one wall penetrating retainer extends from each of the first and second anchor components. When the second anchor component is in the anchoring orientation a curved configuration of the wall penetrating extent of the retainer of the second anchor component opposes a curved configuration of the wall penetrating extent of the retainer of the first anchor component to form a jaw-type arrangement.

    Abstract: A system provides behavior therapy by including separate compartments, where one compartment holds an object visibly positioned as a reward for clearing an objective. The system includes a first receptacle. A second receptacle is coupled to the first receptacle. The second receptacle includes a compartment for receiving the object. Access to the compartment in the second receptacle is obstructed by a wall of the first receptacle. The apparatus further includes a magnetic lock. Access to the compartment in the second receptacle is provided in the event the magnetic lock is opened. The system further includes a magnetic key including a third magnet. When the magnetic key is placed proximate to the magnetic lock, the third magnet displaces the first magnet from the magnetic attraction to the second magnet to open the magnetic lock.

    Abstract: A glass with attached jewel device has an item of drinkware such as a glass, optically clear adhesive, and a jewel piece. The glass has a base, a wall extending up from the base, and a rim opposite the base. The wall curves upon two axes with different radii. The piece fits upon the curved wall and the adhesive adheres the piece to the wall. The piece has an outer surface and an opposite inner surface. The inner surface has at least three pads and a plurality of dimples that receive the adhesive and provide additional surface area making for a strong bond of the piece to the glass or drinkware. The adhesive fills the gap upon the edges of the piece to the wall. Alternatively, the adhesive covers the inner surface. The adhesive cures by illumination as from ultraviolet light.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-removable drinking straw device primarily comprised of a straw body and a locking member, wherein the locking member is further comprised of a locking notch and at least one vertical slit that forms at least one retention member on the locking member body. The locking member sits around the straw such that the straw and a portion of the locking member can be placed inside a juice box or a juice pouch. Once partially inside the juice box or pouch, the locking member can be pushed down on the straw body and locked into position by manipulating a protrusion of the straw body within the locking notch. In the deployed position, the retention members extend outwards from the body of the locking member such that the locking member hits the top wall of the juice box or juice pouch.

    Abstract: A mounting bracket lock may be configured to secure the mounting bracket of a window treatment housing to a rail of the housing. The mounting bracket lock may be slidably attachable to the rail and, when in a locked position, may prevent the mounting bracket from detaching from the rail. The mounting bracket lock may include a body that is mountable to the rail. The body may include a first portion that slidably attaches to the rail, and a second portion that receives a portion of the rail and a portion of the mounting bracket, thereby securing the mounting bracket in a locked position relative to the rail. The body of the mounting bracket lock may define one or more projections that extend therefrom, and that engage in a friction fit between corresponding surfaces of the mounting bracket when the mounting bracket lock is in the locked position.
