Abstract: A conveyor component for use in a conveyor includes a flexible hub for mounting a shaft and a continuous rim connected to the flexible hub for contacting a conveyor belt. The flexible hub includes a peripheral gap that can be widened using an expansion tool to enlarge a shaft-receiving opening formed by the flexible hub. Positioning tabs on a radially inner surface of the flexible hub move into engagement with a groove on the shaft when the conveyor component is in a relaxed state and the peripheral gap is contracted and out of engagement with the groove when the peripheral gap is expanded, and the flexible hub is flexed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to folding furniture, and more specifically, to folding chairs with the ability to support their own weight and stand while in a folded position. In an embodiment, a folding chair configurable in an unfolded position and a folded position comprises a first leg assembly, a second leg assembly, a seat, and a chair back fixed between the first and second leg assemblies. The first and second leg assemblies each comprise an outer leg pivotally coupled with an inner leg, such that in the folded or unfolded positions, the first and second leg assemblies support the folding chair. The seat comprises a support bar and is pivotally coupled with each inner leg of the first and second leg assemblies, such that in the unfolded position, the seat provides support for a person when the support bar contacts a portion of the first outer leg and a portion of the second outer leg preventing overextension of the seat.

Abstract: A seal for tote boxes includes a post member of extended length which has an enlarged end portion and a housing which has locking fingers which flex to accept the enlarged end of the post member and then lock to prevent removal of the post member. The housing includes a pair of upwardly projecting flanges, and a downwardly projecting flange. When installed on tote box the upwardly projecting flanges maintain the position of the downwardly projecting flange so that it is visible past the handle of the tote box allowing visual access to indicia on the downwardly projecting flange and allowing an authorized user to cut the post portion to remove the seal.

Abstract: A strap clamp includes a housing which is attached to an end of an elongated strap band. The housing pivotally support a screw member, the threads of which engage and drive the strap band to tighten or loosen the strap band. The screw member may be pivoted away from the strap band to disengage screw threads and release the strap band. The housing is attached to the strap band via elongated slots which have a minimal impact on the strength of the strap band.

Abstract: A humidifier system includes a water reservoir and a water bottle defining a discharge opening therein. A valve assembly has a sealing member that is positionable in closed and opened positions for selectively dispensing water through the discharge opening into the reservoir. The valve assembly further includes a locking feature to lock the sealing member in the opened position, preventing the valve from returning to the closed position until desired.
