Abstract: A pelleted mineral supplement for land animals is provided. Each of the pellets is a cohesive mass of mineral components that when consumed by a land animal promotes the health and/or growth of the animal, and each of the cohesive masses has a largest dimension less than 0.5 inches. In certain aspects of the invention, the pelleted mineral supplement can be combined with a conventional animal feed to provide a mineral-supplemented animal feed.

Abstract: A process of attracting land animals and/or supplementing the diet of land animals with mineral nutrients involves selecting a location for attracting and/or supplementing the diet of the land animals and disposing at the selected location a compressed cohesive mass of mineral components that when consumed promotes health and/or growth, wherein the compressed cohesive mass of mineral components has a size, shape and mass that facilitates portability, ease of delivery to a selected location and avoidance of communal consumption that could promote the transmission of disease.

Abstract: A container assembly having a container, an insert and a cap. The container has a sidewall extending upwardly to a rim which circumscribes an opening in the top of the container. The insert is located in the opening in the top of the container and is formed of a substantially thin sheet of material. The insert includes an annular lip engaging the rim of the container, a body projecting downwardly from the lip into the container and a tab projecting laterally from the lip away from the body of the insert. The body of the insert has a downwardly extending sidewall which diverges away from the sidewall of said container as it progresses downwardly with the sidewall of the body terminating at a bottom wall. The lip of the insert is sealed to the rim of the container. The cap for the container seats over the opening and includes a downwardly depending skirt.

Abstract: A one-piece construction airbag cushion retainer having an annular ring and a plurality of integral fasteners. The annular ring is fabricated of reinforced plastic and has a bottom surface. The plurality of fasteners each have heads insert-molded or welded into the annular ring and studs extending from the bottom surface of the annular ring for securing an airbag cushion to an airbag module assembly.

Abstract: A fastener-carrier system and method for securely fastening at least two mounted members utilizing the fastener-carrier system according to the invention is disclosed. The fastener-carrier system includes a fastener-carrier member having at least one threaded fastener and at least one lock member depending therefrom. The lock member preferably has a snap-lock head mounted on the terminal end thereof. The snap-lock head is adapted to temporarily mount the first and second mounted members to one another while at least one threaded nut is mounted to the at least one threaded fastener to securely mount the first and second mounted members to one another.
