Abstract: A planter transport tray including a top face and a bottom face, a plurality of cavities disposed within the top face and protruding from the bottom face, each of the plurality of cavities forming a planter cavity, the planter cavity having a floor with one or more drainage apertures therein, a plurality of channels disposed within the top face and protruding from the bottom face, each channel of the plurality of channels connected between two adjacent planter cavities, and one or more protrusions disposed within the bottom face and protruding from the top face, where each planter cavity is adapted to accept a single plant planter therein, the single plant planter having a central aperture, the one or more protrusions configured to be inserted into the central aperture of the single plant planter thereby dislodging contents therein away from the central aperture for removal.

Abstract: A planter includes a container and a removable floor designed for easy and non-damaging plant removal. The container features a multi-stage retention system on its inner sidewall. An internal floor flange provides a base for an upwardly extending lip that defines a support surface. Vertically above this lip, a primary retention groove is formed. Vertically above the groove, a plurality of inwardly protruding structures provide a secondary retention point. A removable floor is inserted by being pressed past the protruding structures to snappingly engage the primary retention groove, while being vertically supported by resting on the lip. This “rest-on, snap-above” configuration, combined with the multi-stage retention, secures the floor during use but allows the floor and an entire soil mass to be easily pushed upward from below for safe repotting. The removable floor may include distinct inner and outer apertures for separate central and peripheral drainage paths.

Abstract: A dispenser assembly including a remaining length indicator, comprising a sheet material including an inner end, an outer end, an initial edge, a terminal edge, and an indicator line arranged on the sheet material, and a plurality of markings operatively arranged to engage the indicator line to indicate a length of the sheet material remaining.

Abstract: A planter having a continuous sidewall with an inner surface and an outer surface forming a container with a top and a bottom end, an internal floor flange extending inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall proximate a bottom end of the container, and a lip extending upwardly from the flange, the lip defining a drainage aperture at the bottom end of the container, a drainage channel formed by the internal floor flange, the lip, and the sidewall, a plurality of apertures in the sidewall in communication with the drainage channel; and, a removable floor arranged to rest on the lip having a plurality of inner floor apertures arranged to drain liquid via the drainage aperture, and a plurality of outer floor apertures arranged to drain liquid via the drainage channel and the plurality of apertures in the sidewall.

Abstract: A hook formed into a body formed into a hook shape and having a neck and fabricated from nonferromagnetic material with the body having a first end and a second end. The neck is proximate the first end. One side of the neck includes a center ridge with a flat top surface with either a magnet or ferromagnetic material embedded in the center ridge. The hook also includes a closure having a first closure end and a second closure end and a channel with a floor flanked by two lateral sides. A second magnet or a ferromagnetic material is embedded into the floor opposed to the first magnet or ferromagnetic material. The closure being pivotally and/or pivotally and slidably attached to the hook body by at least one pin. The magnet(s) and/or ferromagnetic material hold the closure in a closed position enclosing a defined space.

Abstract: A hook shaped body having a neck and fabricated from nonferromagnetic material. The body possesses a first end and a second end. The neck is proximate the first end. The hook also includes a closure that is fabricated from ferromagnetic material and has a first closure end and a second closure end. The closure is pivotally attached to the body and is positioned to span a gap between the second end of the hook and the body. There is at least one magnet fixedly attached to the neck, so the at least one magnet holds the closure in a closed position that spans the gap such that the hook encloses a defined space in the closed position.

Abstract: A hook formed into a body having a hook shape and having a neck and fabricated from nonferromagnetic material with the body having a first end and a second end. The neck is proximate the first end. The hook also includes a closure that is fabricated from nonmagnetic ferromagnetic material, other nonmagnetic materials, and magnetic ferromagnetic materials, and having a first closure end and a second closure end, the closure being pivotally and/or pivotally and slidably attached to the body and positioned to span a gap between the second end of the hook and the body. There is at least one magnet fixedly attached to the neck, so the at least one magnet holds the closure in a closed position that spans the gap such that the hook encloses a defined space in the closed position.

Abstract: A retractable pet leash having an integrated lamp powered by an electric generator. A spool is rotatably mounted inside a housing and a leash cord is coiled on the spool. The spool rotates in a first direction of rotation as the leash cord pays out through an opening provided in the housing. A spring inside the housing is configured to bias the spool toward rotation opposite the first direction of rotation, for retracting the leash cord. A circular toothed gear is attached to the spool for synchronous rotation and a set of speed change gears are configured to translate rotation of the circular toothed gear to turn the generator. A cup gear, having an inner wall provided with a unidirectional teeth groove, engages a speed change gear. A prism plate with pivotally mounted pawls is rotatably mounted in contact with the unidirectional teeth groove, for translating rotation in one direction only, to the generator. The generator outputs direct current to a circuit board.
