Abstract: A fastener for cabinets is provided, which can be easily adjusted to securely fasten together the paired handles of a cabinet, regardless of their spacing. The cabinet fastener includes a housing having, on one side, a latch opening of predetermined width, a finger opening disposed adjacent the latch opening and a stop disposed between the latch opening and the finger opening. One end of a flexible, elongated band having two ends passes through an opening in the housing on the side opposite the side having the latch opening, and is adjustably retained in said housing. A resilient primary latch is disposed at the opposite end of the band, which has a normal width greater than the width of the latch opening and is adapted to resiliently deflect to a smaller width to fit through the latch opening and spring back so that a portion of the primary latch protrudes into the finger opening and engages the stop, preventing the primary latch from being pulled from the latch opening.

Abstract: A plush toy for an infant, e.g., a ball or the like, has a plurality of rings each having a pair of plush arms of a size to be grasped by an infant. The rings include a first center ring having a center portion with the pair of arms bearing a display of a face on a first surface, and an outer ring defining an open center portion, whereby the display may be glimpsed between the arms of the rings. In a preferred embodiment, the first center ring bears a display of a face on first and second opposite surfaces, and the rings include a first outer ring disposed adjacent the first surface of the center ring and a second outer ring adjacent the second surface of the center ring. A method and toy made by the method are also described.
