Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an article and related system for hauling and deploying rope, including a main body having an upper portion defining a rim portion forming at least a portion of a primary opening into an interior chamber of the main body, a divider wall separating the interior chamber into at least two separate compartments inside the main body, a lid extending from the upper rim of the main body, the lid movable between a first orientation allowing access to the primary opening and a second orientation at least partially covering the primary opening, the lid having a peripheral edge forming a continuous extension of the rim portion that defines the portion of the primary opening, the lid including a loop structure at a central location on a free edge of the lid and an elongated seam binding attached to and covering the entirety of the peripheral edge and the rim portion, the seam binding forming a load bearing structural loop and a guide surface along the length of the rim portion and periph

Abstract: A device includes a first part and a second part. The first part comprises a first fastening tool (FT1) and a first receptor (R1). The second part comprises a second receptor (R2) for engaging with the first fastening tool (FT1), and a movable latch (L) for engaging with the first receptor (R1). A single act of engaging the first fastening tool (FT1) with the second receptor (R2) to establish a first connection between the first and second parts, also makes the movable latch (L) engage with the first receptor (R1) to establish a second connection between the first and second parts. The second connection is spaced apart from the first connection. Both the first and second connections result from operating only the first fastening tool (FT1).

Abstract: A device (10) for mounting a motor assembly of an electric appliance such as a vacuum cleaner in a housing (2) of the appliance comprises a resilient mounting body (11) which is intended for arrangement between the motor assembly and the housing (2). An inner peripheral portion (12) of the mounting body (11) comprises a first motor contacting portion (13), a second motor contacting portion (14) being provided with axial motor support components (19), and a connection portion (15) interconnecting the motor contacting portions (13, 14). A radial stiffness of the first motor contacting portion (13) is lower than a radial stiffness of the connection portion (15), so that the extent to which vibrations of the motor assembly are coupled into the mounting body (11) at the position of contact to the first motor contacting portion (13) can be at a minimum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust grille (10, 20, 30, 40). The exhaust grille comprises an array comprising an array of spaced vanes (15) which define a plurality of separate non-linear air flow passages (14) through the grille. The grill is configured so as to deflect sound waves incident upon the grille to prevent them from passing through the passages. Various configurations of exhaust grille are disclosed, and the exhaust grille configuration reduces the noise levels permitted to pass through the grille, for example when placed over an exhaust (2), such as over the exhaust outlet of a vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to carrying systems including packs and bags. One embodiment of the present invention is directed at a carrying system that includes a snow breathing apparatus. The system includes a carrying cavity, an attachment system, and a snow breathing apparatus. The carrying cavity is a partially enclosed region that is capable of storing items for transportation. The carrying cavity may further include a shell, a lid, a sealing system, a compression system, etc. The attachment system is coupled to an external surface of the carrying cavity to facilitate a removable coupling between the carrying cavity and a user. The attachment system may include two arm straps, a shoulder strap, a hip belt, a belt receiver, etc. The snow breathing apparatus is a device that enables breathing in a snow encapsulated breathing space in which breathing may otherwise be restricted.
