Abstract: An outer sleeve includes first and second opposed side panels edges, hinge panels interconnecting the first and second side panels such that at least one chamber is defined between the first and second side panels, at least one of the hinge panels being hingedly connected to at least one of the first and second side panels along one of the opposed side edges of the at least one side panel, and at least one inner panel positioned at least in part inside the at least one chamber. The at least one inner panel includes a slide card locking mechanism for releasably locking at least one slide card in a locked position within the at least one chamber. The at least one side panel includes a release button positioned proximate the slide card locking mechanism of the at least one inner panel. The at least one inner panel is hingedly connected to one of the end edges of the at least one panel.

Abstract: An electronic sheet cutting machine includes a housing to which a drive roller is coupled for moving a sheet to be cut in a first direction and a cutter assembly coupled to the housing and moveable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. A user interface is incorporated into the housing for allowing a user to select via the user interface at least one shape to be cut by the cutter assembly wherein controlled movement of the drive roller and the cutter assembly causes a shape to be cut in the sheet.

Abstract: A blade housing for an electronic cutting apparatus includes an outer housing having a distal end, an inner housing coupled to the inner housing and longitudinally selectively adjustable relative thereto and a blade rotatably coupled to the inner housing with a sharpened distal end. Adjustment of the inner housing relative to the outer housing adjusts an amount of the blade that protrudes from the distal end of the inner housing.

Abstract: A package is disclosed comprising a shell and a slidable tray received therein, and having at least two access modes for dispensing contents from the package.

Abstract: A two-piece package for housing and dispensing a unit dose product. The product to be dispensed is contained on an internal slide card that is removably and lockably engaged within an outer sleeve. The package provides a child resistant and user-friendly dosing means that can be opened and closed numerous times while in use, then disposed of when all the unit doses are exhausted.

Abstract: A sole plate assembly comprising a sole plate with at least two or more engageable elements disposed along a peripheral portion of the sole plate, the engageable elements each being adapted to engage a complementary engageable element associated with a sole to form a male-female pair of elements that provide an interference fit that helps secure the sole plate to the sole; and a sole adapted to receive the sole plate.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) assembly comprising an HVAC system having an air box with a wall having an inside, an outside and an opening, a collar extending through the opening in the wall, with the collar including a base flange and a cylindrical wall extending from the base flange, the cylindrical wall including a hook member, the base flange abutting the inside of the wall and the cylindrical wall extending through the opening in the wall, and a flexible hose having a corrugated cylindrical and flexible shell, corrugated cylindrical and flexible shell having an inside and an outside, the flexible hose being connected to the collar by inserting the cylindrical wall of the collar into the inside of the shell, with the hook member of the cylindrical wall of the collar extending into grooves on the inside of the shell.

Abstract: A shoe has a thin cavity in the bottom surface of its sole which releasably receives a thin sole plate. The sidewall of the cavity includes flaps which extend into the cavity. The sole plate has depressions which receive the flaps when the sole plate is placed in the cavity and pushed past the flaps.

Abstract: A method of cutting using an electronic paper cutting machine includes receiving a signal that a sheet of paper has been loaded; receiving a size of the sheet of paper, receiving at least one shape to be cut, receiving a size of the at least one shape to be cut, calculating the size of the shape relative to the size of the paper, determining whether the shape to be cut will fit within the sheet of paper, displaying an error message if the shape will not fit on the sheet and cutting the desired shape if the shape will fit on the sheet.
