  • Publication number: 20230381023
    Abstract: A tear-off capture system includes an eye protector with a base lens. The eye protector has a retention mechanism mounted on one side, and a support mechanism that supports the eye protector on the head of a wearer. A two-tabbed stack of laminated tear-off lenses mounts to the eye protector via an adhesive. The stack mounts so that the first tab of the stack aligns with the first side of the eye protector and the second tab engages with the retention mechanism. Via the second tab and the retention mechanism, released tear-off layers are directed toward the second side of the eye protector away from the base lens. A capturer helps hold the initially released tear-off layer to the eye protector. An exposed tacky surface on each released tear-off helps hold the subsequently removed tear-off layers.

  • Publication number: 20180009502
    Abstract: A bicycle pedal system which allows riders to engage the sole of their shoe with the pedal to feel an operative engagement therebetween during normal riding conditions, while allowing the rider to easily detach the shoe from the pedal should the need arise. The system includes a shoe sole wearable on the foot of a user, wherein the shoe sole includes a lower surface and a plurality of first engagement elements extending from the lower surface. The system further comprises a bicycle pedal including a first surface, an opposing second surface, and a plurality of second engagement elements extending from the first surface and being complimentary to the first engagement elements. The shoe sole is configured to be selectively engageable with the pedal, with the first engagement elements being registered with the second engagement elements when the shoe sole is engaged with the pedal.
