Abstract: A strap assembly capable of engagement with an object (101) includes a strap (110) having a first end (111) and a second end (112), and further includes a buckle (120, 190) coupled to the strap. The buckle includes a cover (210) and a base (220) adjacent to the cover, and the base includes a slot (221) and an engagement aperture (122). The object with which the strap assembly is engaged has coupled thereto an attachment piece (102), which may take the form of a post (141) topped with a cap (142). The strap extends through the slot, the engagement aperture is capable of engaging the attachment piece, and the buckle is capable of rotating about the attachment piece when the engagement aperture is engaged with the attachment piece.

Abstract: A spout valve assembly, for a pump dispenser including a discharge head, is located within an opening in the discharge head for permitting outletting of liquid product and includes a spout valve retained within the discharge head opening by a retainer. The spout valve includes a slit at a first end thereof and an orifice at a second opposite end thereof. The slit includes slit lips directly engageable with and disengageable from each other to respectively define slit closed and opened configurations. The spout valve is made of a material for permitting opening of the slit under pressure from the liquid product for thereby allowing the liquid product to be discharged out through the slit when in the slit opened configuration, and for otherwise permitting closing of the slit to prevent the liquid product from being discharged through the slit when in the slit closed configuration.

Abstract: A label dispenser incorporates a roll of labels that is perforated in intervals using common label sizes. The dispenser is used as an alternative to traditional “core” handwritten labels. Current labels come on small sheets and are packaged in clear clamshell packages. The dispenser maintains a tension on the label tape that maintains the integrity of the perforation until time of use. The spool may have a ratchet mechanism that prevents the labels from retracting back into the dispenser mechanism. The ratchet mechanism also helps control the force applied by the user to dispense labels from the dispenser mechanism. Ideally, the dispenser is easy to use, compact, lightweight, and aesthetically appealing. Various different types and links of labels may be used, and the label dispenser accepts a common roll core. In some embodiments, the labels used for the product do not require a liner, thereby eliminating the need to peel off a label from a liner.
