Abstract: A composition for a cola beverage with enhanced flavor and texture combines a carbonated cola and a cola enhancing mixture for an enhanced cola beverage. The cola enhancing mixture may be added to existing cola beverages, or the present invention may be manufactured and distributed as a unit. The cola enhancing mixture includes flavoring syrup, a high-fat liquid dairy product, cinnamon powder, caffeine, and chia powder. The combination of the cola enhancing mixture with the cola beverage produces a unique taste and texture that is a dramatic enhancement over a standard cola beverage.

Abstract: A system and method for consolidating access to communication media into a single, configurable interface accessible by callers.

Abstract: A cable spacer provides for the spacing of an article such as a cable, wire or conduit from a mounting panel such as a wall or ceiling. The mounting panel accommodates a cable tie for securing the spacer thereto. The spacer includes a spacer body having an article support surface for securely supporting the article thereagainst. The spacer body further includes plural non-coplanar mounting surfaces where each of the mounting surfaces is capable of being supported against the mounting panel. Tie spacer body further includes a cable tie attachment element which permits the accommodation of a cable tie where the spacer element is supported against the mounting panel with any of the non-coplanar mounting surfaces being positioned thereagainst. The spacer also provides for stackability of two or more similar spacers.

Abstract: The cable tie includes an elongate strap and a head having an aperture therethrough for insertably accommodating the strap. A locking barb is movably supported in the head and is engagable with the strap in a manner which permits insertion of the strap thereinto and prevents withdrawal of the strap therefrom. The strap includes a strap body and plural protrusions extending from the strap body. The barb is engagable with the protrusions of the strap upon insertion. Upon an attempt to withdraw the strap, the barb digs into the strap body to prevent withdrawal of the strap from the head.

Abstract: A cable tie includes an elongate generally planar strap and a cable tie head. The head of the cable tie includes an aperture therethrough for insertably accommodating the strap. A locking device is supported by the head and extends into the aperture. The locking device permits movement of the strap in an insertion direction and prevents substantial movement of the strap in a withdrawal direction. The locking device includes a hingedly mounted support member extending into the aperture and a barb supported adjacent the support member. The barb and the support member are movable into locking engagement with the strap to prevent withdrawal of the strap from the head aperture.

Abstract: A cable tie comprises a strap having a plurality of spaced parallel racks of teeth extending along the length thereof and a head for receiving the strap. A reinforcing median strip extends along the length of the strap between the racks of teeth to add material thickness, and mechanical strength to the strap. A bifurcated pawl is included in the head so that a separate pawl engages each rack of teeth. The teeth in each rack are in substantial, contiguous alignment. The teeth in the pawls are also in substantial, contiguous alignment for engaging the teeth of the strap. The median strip guides and directs the pawls as they ratchet over and come to rest in a locked position against said rocks of teeth.

Abstract: A cable tie has a plurality of spaced parallel racks of teeth extending along the length thereof. A reinforcing median strip extends down the strap between the racks of teeth in order to add material thickness, and therefore a mechanical strength to the strap. The pawl is bifurcated so that a separate pawl engages each rack of teeth. The teeth in each rack are offset from each other so that no deep notch extends more than approximately half way across the strap at any given transverse location. The teeth in the pawls are offset in a similar manner.

Abstract: A new and improved strain relief for a cord applying a closely controllable force squeezing together a split grommet surrounding the cord. More particularly, a cable tie may be wrapped around the split cylindrical grommet and pulled by a conventional cable tie gun which is set for establishing a predetermined cable tie tension. The tie pulls the split grommet together with precisely the force that is produced by that tension. Thus, any cord passing through the grommet receives a maximum stress which is set by that tension.

Abstract: An integral plastic strip is formed into a comb-like piece part having an elongated row of upstanding teeth or tabs. The root of the space between each adjacent pair of teeth or tabs is formed into a generally arcuate cove for receiving, embracing, and capturing a single wire or a cable which may be pressed into the cove. Adjacent each root cove, the teeth or tabs are marked with a number or other symbol which identifies the wire positioned there. There are a predetermined number of the root coves so that the wires or cables may be formed into discrete groups. Each strip has connectors near its opposite ends which enables a plurality of strips to be stacked together, in order to form a large group of the groups.

Abstract: An insulated holder for beverage containers having walls defining a generally cup-shaped, open-topped compartment for receiving a chilled beverage container therein, the holder being dimensioned so that the side walls of the holder are spaced from the container side walls throughout the major portion of the height of the compartment, a flexible member sealingly engaging the side walls of the beverage container at the upper end of the compartment to form an airtight, sealed space within the compartment and provide effective insulation to the beverage container. The walls of the holder are formed of an inner air-impervious layer and an outer soft cushion layer of foam plastic insulating material. The lower portion of the holder may be provided with a refrigerant which engages the bottom of the beverage container in conductive heat transfer relation and is disposed in convective heat transfer relation with the sealed air space surrounding the side walls of the beverage container.
