  • Publication number: 20110133494
    Abstract: The door lock tool is used for securing closed swinging “push” doors against opening under the application of physical force and includes a hook and a length of braided nylon webbing. The hooks is designed to bite into the sides of the door jams and casings and has a generally J-shaped body which includes a flat back part that curves into a relatively short perpendicular leg part. A flat tooth extends perpendicularly from the hook's leg. One end of the strap is configured to form a loop for securing the strap to a door knob. The other end is laced through an opening in the hook and around a cross bar, which allows the strap to be pulled tight. Pulling the free end of the strap tightens the strap to close the loop and shortens the length of strap between the loop and the hook causing the hook to bite into or under the end of the door jam or casing to secure the door.

  • Publication number: 20100242226
    Abstract: A door chock tool is disclosed that can be used to reliably hold a swinging hinged door open or closed regardless of the size and weight of the door or the surface of the floor under the door. The door chock tool is molded or formed as a single unit from a durable, light weight plastic material and has a wedge member extending from the front of a central body and a T-handle extending from the rear of the central body. When the door chock tool is forcefully wedged under a door by a user forcefully kicking the back of the central body, the wedge member and T-handle flex slightly creating a leaf spring effect, which increases the holding force that secures the door in either an open or closed position.

  • Publication number: 20090277936
    Abstract: An attachment mount and receiver system for attaching articles to a garment. A receiver has openings for affixing the receiver to a support that is then attached to a compatible garment. The mount has openings for affixing an article thereto. A pair of flexible springs permit connected tines to be compressed inwardly, allowing the mount to be slidingly inserted into the receiver. A barb at the end of each tine engages an end wall of the receiver when the mount is fully seated. Tines are compressed inwardly and the mount is withdrawable. Selective locks can inhibit the tines from being compressed. Resistance to prying the mount away from the receiver is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6830540
    Abstract: A treadmill including a support structure and a tread base pivotally mounted to the support structure. The tread base having a front portion and a rear portion rotatably coupled together by way of a folding mechanism that allows the rear portion to fold toward the front portion so that lower surfaces of the front and rear portions are substantially adjacent one to another. The folding mechanism can include a means for releasably locking the front portion to the rear portion to create a surface upon which a belt can move and upon which an individual can exercise. The treadmill can include a motion assembly that inclines and declines the tread base, while optionally causing the belt to rotate about two rollers mounted within the front portion and rear portion respectively.
