Abstract: A device configured to retain an informational tag, near a plant in a positioning step and an attaching step. The device includes a display bed that defines a plane. A shoulder is defined on one side of the frame such that the shoulder extends away from the display bed and defines a stop. A retaining finger extends over the plane and defines a surface that faces and is spaced-away from the plane, A cover is positioned near the retaining finger and is movable from a first position to a second position. A prong is positioned on the cover and extends toward the plane when the cover is in the first position and extends through the plane when the cover is in the second position. The retaining finger surface and the display bed are configured to act cooperatively to retain a tag therebetween by friction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sealing device for an opening. The device includes a body that has a first side and a second side. A passageway is formed through the body such that the passageway has a first end adjacent to the first side and a second end that is adjacent to the second side. A sealing member is provided that includes an outer gasket and an inner gasket. The outer gasket is positioned adjacent the first side and the inner gasket is positioned adjacent the second side. A seal connector connects the inner gasket and the outer gasket and the seal connector passes through the passageway. In this way, the inner gasket and the outer gasket are mechanically attached to the ring. The sealing device is configured for use in such applications as sealing the cargo opening on the deck of a kayak.

Abstract: A thermoelectric water-chiller system for cooling bottled water, and including a mixing valve which enables dispensing of chilled water, room-temperature water, or a mixture of chilled and room-temperature water. Components needing periodic cleaning are readily removable from the system. A fan-cooled thermoelectric-chip assembly is used to form an ice block which chills the water, and a variable-speed fan is controlled by a temperature sensor to slow the fan speed when chilling to a desired temperature is achieved, and to maintain the ice block at an optimum size.
