Abstract: A luggage lock covering device for protecting a luggage lock from damage as well as protecting the luggage from damage caused by-the luggage lock. The luggage lock covering device includes a panel having a plurality of fold indentations therein such that a first portion, a second portion and a third portion are defined. The second portion is positioned between the first and third portions. The second portion includes an elongated slot extending therethrough. The elongated slot includes a size designed for removably receiving the luggage zipper. There is a fastening means for removably coupling the first portion to the third portion. The fastening means comprises a hook and loop fastening means that includes a loop portion and a hook portion.

Abstract: A combination wallet and billfold includes generally rectangular front and back planar wallet members joined along a bottom side and along two lateral sides. At least one of the front and back wallet members has an outside surface defining a currency face. The top side of the wallet members are un-joined to define a pocket between the wallet members where the pocket is configured to receive credit cards and similarly-sized documents. A U-shaped clip is secured to the currency face and is configured to secure paper currency to the currency face. The clip includes first and second generally converging leg portions connected to each other by a connecting portion urging the leg portions toward each other under compressive tension. A retaining strap has a first end joined to one of the lateral sides while a second end extends toward the other lateral side.

Abstract: An inside-out wallet designed to carry currency completely exposed on the outside face of the wallet, allowing for easy access to currency with pockets to carry credit cards. The wallet can be folded and conveniently and comfortably carried in a front pocket, eliminating a bulky object in the hip pocket. Access to the currency may be achieved without unfolding the wallet and the user can conveniently remove bills one at a time without disturbing other bills.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary hydraulic distributor comprising a primary rotary element (3) coupled to an actuating device and connected for rotation with a valve rotor, a secondary rotary element (5) coupled to a driven device and connected for rotation with a valve stator, the valve stator and the valve rotor mutually cooperating to control a double acting servomotor of the driven device, a limited relative angular displacement being permitted between primary and secondary elements (3, 5) on either side from a central rest position, and a reaction mechanism being provided in order to bias the primary element (3) toward the central rest position. According to the invention, the reaction mechanism consists of a pair of independent substantially U-shaped pistons (7) able to tilt within respectively one bore (12) of a pair of bores symmetrically provided in secondary element (5), the legs (15) of U-shaped pistons (7) engaging and biasing opposite radial ends (4) of primary rotary element (3).

Abstract: A multi-compartmented wallet is formed from a single piece of material in accordance with a predetermined pattern of cuts and fold lines. The generally rectangular material is initially cut leaving tab-like projections extending from both short edges. Slots are cut from a middle region of both short edges and extend inwardly for approximately one third of the length of the rectangle thereby dividing each short edge into two sections. Selected fold lines are pre-creased and each tab and a contiguous triangular portion of material is folded inwardly over the rectangle and the diagonal fold line is secured with adhesive, leaving the tab free. Opposed sections of the short edges of the material are then folded upwardly, and the short edges are pinched in the middle forming two opposed gathers that are perpendicular to the inward fold. The opposed gathers are interlaid to form compartments in the wallet. The completed wallet has fourteen pockets.
