Abstract: A lighting assembly, mounted within a cavity of a structure having an exposed outer surface, includes a lighting source having a light output surface and a push-retract mechanism. The push-retract mechanism includes at least one biasing assembly operable to displace the lighting source between an extended position where the light output surface extends beyond the outer surface of the structure, and a retracted position, where the light output surface does not extend beyond the outer surface of the structure.

Abstract: A family of eye protectors for use with a variety of shapes and sizes of heads includes a plurality of different lenses with each lens having a selected curvature and selected height and profile parameters; and a manually adjustable nose engaging element carried on each lens. The nose engaging element can include a substantially U-shaped frame which has first and second deflectable, spaced apart members joined by a third member. A plurality of identical mounting elements can be proved wherein each mounting element holds one of said plurality of different lenses.

Abstract: An eyewear comprising a frame with lens and temples mounted to the frame. Each of the temples comprises a branch having a proximal end, a distal end and an internal wall defining an aperture extending longitudinally along the branch. The internal wall has a first curved portion with a first curvature, the first curved portion being made of a flexible material. Each of the temples further comprises a member slidably moveable in the aperture, the member having a second curved portion with a second curvature, the second curved portion registering with the first curved portion, the second curvature being greater than the first curvature such that movement of the member along the aperture and towards the distal end of the branch displaces the branch from a first position in which a first pressure is applied to a side of a wearer's head to a second position in which a second pressure is applied to the side of the wearer's head, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure.

Abstract: An eyewear having a frame with lens and temples. Each of the temples comprises a first member having proximate and distal ends, the proximate end being pivotably mounted to the frame about a first axis such that the first member is movable from open and closed positions. The distal end comprises a first portion made of a first material. Each of the temples further comprises a second member extending along a second axis from a proximate end to a distal end, the second axis intersecting the first axis, wherein the proximate end of the second member comprises a second portion made of a second material. Moreover, one of the first and second portions is overmolded onto the other of the first and second portions for affixing together the first and second portions. In addition, the second material is different from and incompatible with the first material such that the second member is pivotable relative to the first member about a third axis intersecting the second axis.

Abstract: The modular plastic shopping cart comprises a wheeled base comprising two opposite vertical side sections each having at least one horizontally projecting member providing a support surface; two side uprights removably connectable to the wheeled base, predetermined cooperating shapes of the wheeled base and the side uprights preventing, when assembled, relative pivoting and sliding movement between the side uprights and the wheeled base; a basket removably connectable to the side uprights, predetermined cooperating shapes of the side uprights and the basket preventing, when assembled, relative pivoting and sliding movement between the basket and the side uprights; first securing device for securing the side uprights to the wheeled base; and second securing device for securing the basket to the side uprights.

Abstract: A collapsible compartment of a shopping cart. The collapsible compartment includes a swinging rear wall and fixed side walls of the shopping cart and a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly includes a pivoting base wall having a first edge for pivot connection to the swinging rear wall and a second edge opposite the first edge. It further includes a pivoting front wall having a first edge for pivot connection between the side walls of the shopping cart, and a second edge, opposite the first edge thereof, pivotally connected to the second edge of the pivoting base wall. The compartment further includes a pivoting panel assembly having a panel pivotable between a first position where the panel rests over the base wall and a second position where the panel is covering leg holes in the swinging rear wall, and an out of reach spring element to urge the panel in the second position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a toy construction piece being in the form of a half-shell having a bottom portion, a top portion, a bottom wall portion and first and second pair of top wall portions. The bottom wall portion is generally octagonal in shape. The first and second pair of top wall portions extend perpendicularly to each other from the bottom wall portion to the top portion, forming together a generally pyramidal shape and defining four generally dihedral recesses between the four adjacent top wall portions respectively. Each of the dihedral recesses have a bottom in the form of a flat surface. Each of the flat surfaces have rows of outwardly projecting pegs and have an opening also having outwardly projecting pegs. The top portion has a border having two rows of outwardly projecting pegs, the inner row being downwardly recessed from the other. The border defines an opening therein and has an inner surface having outwardly projecting pegs.

Abstract: A reversible track section for a toy car circuit. The reversible track section has a length, two opposite ends, two opposite sides, a top surface and a bottom surface. The reversible track section includes a thin, elongated plate including a central recess on the top surface. The central recess is of given height and rectangular cross-section and extends over the length defining two narrow pathways on the bottom surface, and includes a pair of longitudinal flanges on each of the opposite sides extending perpendicular to the top surface and towards the bottom surface. The longitudinal flanges are of the same height as the central recess and each is provided with an integral, outwardly projecting extension of constant width.
