  • Publication number: 20240101319
    Abstract: An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers an opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements 130,136 that are magnetically coupled to one another. In some examples, the lower sled of the slider may include an air vent with rounded entry portions, and the lid assembly may include engaging members with ramped surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7127955
    Abstract: A torque limiting tool including an inner handle having a tool coupling portion, a biasing assembly aperture, and at least one radially oriented slot. At least one interface member is located in the radially oriented slot. The interface member includes an elongated surface generally oriented along a longitudinal axis. A biasing assembly is located in the biasing assembly aperture to provide a longitudinal biasing force that biases the interface member radially outward. An outer handle having an inner surface limits radial displacement of the interface member. The interface members are displaced radially inward when a torque applied to the inner handle exceeds a threshold value.
