Abstract: A surgical stapler includes a first stapler half including an anvil surface having a plurality of staple forming pockets, and a second stapler half configured to releasably couple with the first stapler half. The second stapler half is operable to deploy staples toward the anvil surface. The stapler also includes a projection positioned on one of the stapler halves and extending laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the stapler. The stapler halves are configured to pivot relative to each other about the projection. The stapler further includes a locking member positioned on the other of the stapler halves. The locking member is configured to translate along the longitudinal axis of the stapler between a locked state in which the locking member selectively captures the projection and an unlocked state in which the locking member selectively releases the projection. The locking member is biased proximally toward the locked state.

Abstract: A holiday lights strand hanger (18), having a clip arm (20), cylindrical hinge (24) and mounting plate (32), is utilized to mount holiday lights on a building year-round which can be moved from a storage position behind a facia board (16) to a display position below the facia board (16). The clip arm (20) holds the wire portion of a strand of holiday lights. The clip arm (20) is attached to the cylindrical hinge (24) and can be moved between the display position and the storage position by rotating the hinge (24). The hinge (24) is connected to a mounting plate (32) attached to the facia board.
