  • Publication number: 20250031890
    Abstract: A package delivery apparatus for securing delivered packages includes a flexible bag, a security strap, and a locking mechanism. The flexible bag is configured to accommodate one or more packages and includes an opening adjustable between an open position and a closed position. The security strap is integrated with the bag and cinches around the opening. The locking mechanism selectively allows the security strap to move in one direction to secure the closed position. The locking mechanism includes a housing, a lock element, a ratcheting mechanism, and a handle mechanism. The security strap extends through the housing and the ratcheting mechanism and is coupled to the handle mechanism. Moving the handle mechanism to an extended position cinches and locks the bag closed. The lock element is selectively actuated to disengage the security strap from the ratcheting mechanism and allow the bag to be re-opened.

  • Publication number: 20230139235
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a head-worn oxygen tube device that can be used in conjunction with head-worn oxygen tubes or other head-worn masks. The device is primarily comprised of a body with a first end having at least one fastener and a second end having at least one fastener. The device can be worn on the head of the user such that each oxygen tube can be secured by the fastener. Due to the length of the body, each fastener sits above each ear of the user such that each oxygen tube no longer rests on the ears of the user. However, the device still allows a nasal cannula to be worn and used.
