Abstract: Provided is a hose including a first connector assembly including a regulator assembly, a second connector assembly, and a hose assembly coupled to the first and second connector assemblies. The hose assembly includes an inner hose member having first and second ends, an outer hose member having first and second ends, a first hose connector assembly coupled to the first ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the first connector assembly, and a second hose connector assembly coupled to the second ends of the inner hose member and outer hose member and the second connector assembly.

Abstract: A window cover may include a cover body, a mounting feature, a first roll-up-securing feature, a second roll-up-securing feature, a pull-strap, and a weight. The cover body can be moved between a rolled-up position and a deployed position. The mounting feature may be secured to a first side of the cover body and can attach the cover body above a window. The first roll-up-securing feature is secured to a second side of the cover body. The second roll-up-securing feature is secured to the first side of the cover body and is configured to engage the first roll-up-securing feature to retain the cover body in the rolled-up position. The pull-strap may be attached to the first side of the cover body and is accessible when the cover body is in the rolled-up position.

Abstract: A security device can be provided to selectively restrict or prevent the opening of a sliding door, sliding window, or other sliding panel or other closure. For example, the security device can include a base plate that selectively engages a barricade member (or lock rail). While the barricade member is engaged with the base plate (in a locked state), the barricade member and base plate cooperate to restrict or prevent the sliding door, window, panel or other closure from moving to an open position (or moving out of a closed position). The barricade member can be moved relative to the base plate (to an unlocked state) to allow unrestricted movement of the sliding door, window, panel or other closure. The security device can include stop members that may restrict or prevent complete removal of the barricade member from the base plate.

Abstract: An improved strap tie-down device that includes two primary components, namely a base frame and a lever arm, and further includes a cam and a locking mechanism.

Abstract: Components and devices are disclosed which are made from or otherwise include a protective material configured to release corrosion protection molecules. These exemplary components and devices can be included with trailer hitch mounts, hitch mount assemblies, and associated hardware to provide protection against rust and corrosion.

Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a valve that may be opened and closed using a thixotropic or “stress yield” material, or other material that temporarily changes phase upon application of energy to the material. More particularly, some embodiments may include a valve that is opened and closed using a granular gel that is a temporary phase change material.

Abstract: Snap cap devices configured to be inserted within an associated firearm are disclosed. The exemplary snap cap devices are made from or otherwise include a material configured to release corrosion protection molecules.

Abstract: A folding table or work surface configurable between an assembled configuration and a bundled configuration. The folding table generally includes a body with one or more collapsible sidewalls, one or more shelves, and a lid.

Abstract: A shelf edge system which can be easily and conveniently attached to an existing shelf system, and which has a display system capable of attracting the attention of shoppers in a store.

Abstract: A door security apparatus includes a storage container including a slot, a door-locking member and a sensor assembly. The door-locking member is removably disposed within the slot of the storage container. The sensor assembly is associated with the door-locking member. The sensor assembly is configured to detect removal of the door-locking member from the slot of the storage container.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for porous polymer materials that include an ordered array of voids separated by a polymer framework. The porous polymer material can have a recovery state where the voids are in an uncollapsed state and iridescent color, and a deformed state having voids in a collapsed state that is non-iridescent or substantially transparent. The materials can have regions of both states simultaneously. Also described are methods for fabricating a polymer material as above, as well as chromogenic sensors including the polymer material. The sensors can have hidden anti-counterfeiting patterns, hydrophobic/oleophobic properties, and chromogenic transformation can be triggered by various stimuli such as solid target compounds, light energy, and more.

Abstract: Corrosion preventative devices configured to be inserted within a storage container are disclosed. The exemplary corrosion preventative devices are made from or otherwise include a material configured to release corrosion protection molecules.

Abstract: A door security device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, and a connector. The door member can include a slot having openings in at least one end and in an outer face. An end of a first leg of the connector can have a shape configured to mate with the first slot to permit the first leg to slide into the first slot such that the first leg extends out of the first slot through an opening in the outer face of the door member and such that a distal end of the second leg interferes with a surface of a door frame to prevent rotation of the swinging door relative to the door frame.

Abstract: A custom packaging center for custom selecting and custom packaging canned and/or container goods and a novel box for use with the custom packaging center.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to storage boxes commonly used to organize and store items such as school-related supplies that may be carried by a student. The storage boxes generally include a lid and a base. The base optionally includes a divider which provides for two or more storage portions within an interior of the base, while also acting as a functional grip on the outside of the box. A latch mechanism is provided which securely latches the lid and base together in a closed configuration.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser adapted to dispense liquid from a beverage container. The liquid dispenser includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The liquid dispenser includes an electric powered pump that is configured to cause fluid to flow into the bottom portion when the electric powered pump is activated. The bottom portion is fluidly connected or interconnected to the top portion such that fluid which flows into the bottom portion is configured to flow out of the bottom portion and to the top portion.
