Abstract: A brand identification system or label holder for use with a garment hanger or other display device includes first and second panels hingedly connected along upper lateral edges. The panels are movable from an open position to a closed position wherein inner faces of the panels are in opposed relationship. The panels include opposed clamps or hooks which are positioned to snap over the display device when the panels are in the closed position. A living hinge between the panels resiliently biases the panels towards an open position to increase the clamping force generated by the clamp members. A product information card or label may be positioned between the panels.

Abstract: A restraining harness to hold a child in a highchair is disclosed consisting of an elongated panel having strategically placed VELCRO hook and loop type fasteners thereupon such that the panel will encompass completely a range of highchair backs ranging in heights from 17 inches to 8 inches, the panel always arranged and attaching to itself such as to firmly engage the highchair back and present the same end emerging at the top of the highchair back. Further, only the loop-type VELCRO hook and loop type fasteners are presented to the backside of a child. A plurality of straps operably attached to the panel pass parallel over the child's shoulders to a holding strap, and then converge to a single strap passing through the child's legs and under-the-seat to rejoin the panel. A chest encircling strap is operably attached to the panel and the shoulder straps.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved headrest of a car seat, and more particularly to a headrest of a car seat which includes a base member mounted on back of the car seat with an adjustable control mechanism provided in hollow legs of the base member and a head member connected with a beam of the control mechanism. In this manner the headrest is positionally and/or angularly adjustable to suit all tastes.

Abstract: A system for warning an effective restraint limit of a seat belt, comprising a seat slidably adjustable in a to-and-fro direction and tiltably adjustable, a seat belt for restraining an occupant seated on the seat, a sensor device for detecting an effective restraint limit of the seat belt, a notice device for notifying the occupant of the result as detected by the sensor device, characterized in that the effective restraint limit of the seat belt as detected by the sensor device is a reclining angle corresponding to a position of the seat as slidably adjusted.

Abstract: A lightweight chair capable of stacking for storage purposes is provided with collapsible, adjustable arms. The arms can be raised to a desired height where they automatically lock in place for use. The lock assembly can be manually released in order to adjust the height of the arms and coil springs prevent the arms from inadvertently collapsing against the seat frame and possibly injuring the hand of the user.

Abstract: An improved inflatable warning sign having a flashing light contained within the sign and a magnetic base to retain the sign to the roof or truck lid of a disabled vehicle. The sign as inflated is a prismatic triangele to maximize the visible rectangular area for lettering and minimize the wind resistance.In the preferred embodiment the light within the sign is red and the inflated bag is white with black lettering. The white bag disperses the red light within evenly, thus permitting much more effective use of a single incandescent bulb within a translucent red covered box.

Abstract: An illuminated sign is comprised of single piece molded plastic front, intermediate and rear frame members which are substantially coextensive with the width of the sign. All of the characters are formed on the intermediate frame member and they fit into a front frame which serves not only as a support but as a means for masking those parts of the intermediate frame which connect between characters, for example, and which should not be illuminated. The sign is hingedly mounted to a fixed support member which, in turn, supports fluorescent tubes which run along the length of the sign for illuminating the characters to make them visible at night as well as during the daytime. The sign swings down on its hinges to its normal readable position wherein it is secured to the support member by means of quarter-turn fasteners which effectuate a seal for compressing a gasket which is interposed between the sign and the supporting structure.
