Abstract: A utility pocket clip may include an inner garment layer. A utility pocket clip may include an outer garment layer connected to the inner garment layer and cooperating to form at least a portion of a pocket. An utility pocket clip may include a loop located within the pocket, the loop comprising, a material strap having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side comprises a first connection and the second side comprises a second connection, where in the first connection and the second connection are secured within the pocket, wherein the loop is spaced a first distance from a first side of the pocket, a second distance from a top of the pocket, and a third distance from a bottom of the pocket.

Abstract: Comprising a body (1) having a neck (4) which comprises at least one opening (2) which is covered by a lid (3) characterised in that: the neck (4) comprises at least a mouth (7), that defines the opening (2), and a recess (5) in the walls of the neck (4), both the mouth (7) and the recess (5) having an elliptical shape, being the major axis of the ellipse of the mouth (7) and of the recess (5) between 5-15% longer than the minor axis, the lid (3) comprises an extension (6) shaped as an ellipse directed towards the inner side of the lid (3), the major axis of the ellipse of the extension (6) being between 5-15% longer than the minor axis, the ellipse of the mouth (7) is smaller than the ellipse of the lid (3), the recess (5) has a frustoconical configuration that defines an angle ?, and the extension (6) has, in its inner face (9), which is located in front of the recess (5), an inverted frustoconical configuration with respect to the frustoconical configuration of the recess (5), having an angle ? and th

Abstract: A method for shifting a segmented gear may include rotating a gear cluster including a first gear and a coaxial second gear using a power transfer mechanism (e.g., a belt or a chain). The power transfer mechanism defines a plane and is wrapped partially around the first gear. and wherein the first gear has a plurality of gear segments independently movable (e.g., pivotable or translatable) into and out of the plane. A plurality of radially transitionable sliders are rotated in tandem with the first gear, and each of the sliders is operatively coupled to a corresponding one of the gear segments of the first gear. In sequence, each segment of the first gear is moved out of the plane of the power transfer mechanism by urging the slider in a radial direction using a segment actuator, such that the power transfer mechanism wraps at least partially around the second gear.

Abstract: There is described a servicing connection for connecting an electrical device to a supply outlet, wherein live and neutral contacts of the supply outlet are isolated from live and neutral contacts of the device, but a connection is maintained between earth contacts of the supply and the device. The connection may be embodied as an adaptor for interposition between a conventional supply outlet and a conventional power inlet of the device, or may be in the form of a power inlet capable of receiving a supply cord in alternative “servicing” and “operation” positions. There is also described a connection in the form of a power cord for use with a conventional power inlet, and having an additional connector engageable with the power inlet to make an earth connection only.
