  • Publication number: 20040055927
    Abstract: An ironing accessories organizer comprised of a plastic rectangle-shaped container attachable to a household type ironing board. The container incorporates a feature for holding a refreshment container such as a can, bottle, or cup. The remainder of the container holds various types and sizes of ironing accessories, such as aerosol cans, spray water bottles and other ironing accessories. The ironing accessory organizer is attachable and detachable to an ironing board by a flexible strapping that is attached to one end of the plastic container and passes under the ironing board top and buckles to another section of strapping on the opposite side of the ironing board. The strap is adjustable in length to facilitate use on various widths of ironing boards. Because the strapping is attached to the container at the top edge of the sides, it can be buckled together above the container to create a carrying strap for the container.

  • Publication number: 20030040372
    Abstract: A safety system for restraining a child in a conventional swing set comprising a belt for secure placement around the upper torso of a child, with safety snap hooks attached to the belt for securely engaging the vertical support elements of the swing set. The safety snap hooks are attached to the belt by means of D-rings through which the belt passes. The D-rings are fixed at such a location as to position the safety snap hooks adjacent to the vertical support members of the swing set. Further, such D-rings are fixed at such a spacing as to prevent fastening the belt at a diameter smaller than a child's head to prevent entrapment about the neck or head. The safety snap hooks are connected to the D-rings by one or more chain or S-links, or short flexible elements. The safety snap hooks are of the type that have a self-positioning member at the hook opening that will not allow the hook to become disengaged from the vertical support elements of the swing set unless intentionally activated manually.

  • Patent number: 6309004
    Abstract: An auxiliary sun visor comprising a tinted transparent plastic glare shield molded onto a plastic strap which attaches temporarily to the permanent sun visor by means of interlocking fabric. The auxiliary sun visor rotates (pivots) to the side window thereby allowing sun visors to be deployed on windshield and front side window simultaneously. The interlocking fabric method of attachment to permanent sun visor will not interfere with newly innovated head curtain side air bags. If this auxiliary sun visor is struck by the rapid descending and inflating side air bags the fabric attachment will separate without risk of metal parts becoming projectiles as used in prior art of auxiliary sun visors. The glare shield is made from unbreakable semi-rigid plastic material that will not cause the extensive injuries that a rigid visor with multiple parts and rigid plastic could inflict when the side head curtain air bag rapidly descends from the vehicle roof.
