  • Connector device for connecting together items having mismatched or inoperative connection mechanisms
    Patent number: 6493909
    Abstract: A connecting device for connecting a first item having a connecting mechanism and a second item having a second connecting means for use when the first item connecting means is incompatibly mismatched, inoperative, non-fully functioning or otherwise unconnectable with the second item connecting mechanism. The connecting device comprises a sheet having a first edge and a second opposed edge. A first connection mechanism is secured to the first edge for connecting it to a mismatched, inoperative, non-fully functioning or otherwise unconnectable connection mechanism with the second item connection mechanism. A second connection mechanism is secured to the second edge of the first sheet member for connecting the second edge of the sheet to the second item connection mechanism, so that the first connection mechanism matches the first item connection mechanism and the second connection mechanism compatibly matches, operates, functions or is otherwise connectable with the second item connector mechanism.
