Abstract: A toilet having a first-magnet secured to the terminal end of the toilet's flush-arm and a second-magnet secured to the toilet's lid such that when the lid is in its open or up position, the two magnets align preventing the flush-arm from rotating upward to cause the toilet to flush. Conversely, when the lid is down and the two magnets are separated, the flush-arm can be rotated upward causing the toilet to flush. In another example, a magnet-attracting component, such as iron, cobalt or nickel, can be substituted for one of the magnets. A kit for retrofitting an existing toilet is also disclosed.

The website is preferably located at the internet domain URL www.designlaw.com. The website serves as a resource for anyone interested in the interplay between the law and design. The target audience includes designers, attorneys having design-related practices, and others interested in learning more about designs and protecting them with intellectual property rights. It will also cover basic legal concepts involving designs, such as who owns designs, contracts between designers and companies, and the like. In a preferred embodiment, one of the products/services offered through the website is a database of images of products and designs involved in design law litigation, such as design patent litigation.

Abstract: An anti-theft starting system for automotive vehicles which is characterized in that an unauthorized person attempting to start the vehicle is led to believe that the electrical system of the vehicle is faulty. This is achieved by insertion of a current-limiting means intermediate the starter switch and the starter motor which allows the motor to crank only at a very low current, the impression resulting to the operator that the battery is low, the starter is faulty, or the like. A manually-actuable bypass switch is hidden from view of the driver and must be actuated simultaneously with the ignition switch to bypass the current limiting means.
