Abstract: A grommet removal assembly includes a grommet and a grommet removal tool. The grommet includes a body defining a longitudinal axis, a plurality of arms extending from the body, the plurality of arms defining first engagement ramps, and a plurality of legs extending from the body. The grommet removal tool includes a shaft and a plurality of wings extending from the shaft and defining a plurality of second engagement ramps. The first engagement ramps of the wings are capable of engagement with the second engagement ramps along the plurality of arms to draw the arms inward, toward the longitudinal axis of the body.

Abstract: A fastener or grommet is configured to securely clamp together one or more components. The fastener includes a body having a longitudinal axis and at least one wall. The body further includes two arms extending from the body on opposite sides at a flexure joint. Each of the arms includes a feedback feature that causes hesitation in the fastener during installation. The feedback feature further comprises an arched profile that extends the entire width of each of the arms.

Abstract: A playground swing that allows the caregiver to sit within a supportive swing seat while the small child sits on the caregiver's lap while facing the caregiver with their legs wrapped around the hips of the caregiver. The caregiver's legs are free to hand from the swing seat allowing them to pump their legs to provide a swinging motion to the swing while the child's back is supported by a backrest opposing the caregiver's seat allowing the caregiver's arms and hands to be free to interact.
