Abstract: This innovation provides access to a non intrusive, personal trash collection receptacle, for use by an airline passenger during a flight. This is provided by the placement of a flexible plastic storage bag, located and connected to a fold down tray table hinge mechanism incorporated within a seat back on the aircraft. Such a storage bag may be attached to a cooler, or ice chest to provide hikers with a convenient way to temporarily store trash for responsible disposal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a germination device for a plant seed comprising a plant seed receptacle (2) arranged to receive a plant seed. The device further comprises a hydrocel (4) comprising a water reservoir (10) and an air chamber (12). The hydrocel (4) is arranged to receive the plant seed receptacle (2). The device further comprises a seedbase (6) arranged to receive at least a portion of the hydrocel (4) and adapted to provide heat and/or water to the hydrocel (4). The device further comprises a biodome (8) arranged to engage the seedbase (6).

Abstract: The present invention provides a child safety seat installed within a motor vehicle, including both upper portions of a harness web threaded through a pair of sleeves surrounding that portion of the web proximate a child's chest area. It is an object of this invention to eliminate the disadvantages of the harness webs, tangs and buckle, falling into the depression or concavity formed by the contours of the seat, interfering with placing a child within the seat. The upper portions of both webs are required to be connected laterally to offer protection against separation in the event of a sudden deceleration. The sleeves therefore include a latchable connector to selectively couple or uncouple one sleeve to another. A magnet is positioned upon each sleeve, and metallic strips embedded within the seat sides.

Abstract: A closure, set within an aperture of a container end wall, for gas tight containment of dissociating gasses that emit from carbonated beverage, whereby the container, such as a beverage container, becomes pressurized. The closure device, manufactured of a suitable plastic material, set within an aperture in a container end wall, includes a rim seal with an annular locking recess surrounding the aperture in the container end wall, providing a liquid and gas-tight seal. The rim seal includes a depending tapered inner wall, protruding into the container interior, with the larger diameter open to the container interior. Additionally, the rim seal is fitted with a narrow strip hinge on a lower aspect, and locking members located on an upper aspect. A sealing panel, having a small diameter gas vent hole, is set within the rim seal, connected by the narrow strip hinge. This panel is formed with a tapered outer depending wall with a like taper to the rim seal, such that the tapers cooperate in sealing engagement.
