Abstract: A guitar pick or plectrum is provided for use with a stringed musical instrument. The guitar pick or plectrum includes a central body and a first picking wing portion peripherally extending from the central body a first longitudinal direction from the central body. The first picking wing portion includes an end portion and multiple layered picking edges each extending in the first longitudinal direction from the end portion and being spaced apart from each other a predefined distance. Each of multiple layered picking edges is configured to pick a same string on a single strum to provide a multiple sounds from a single strum when picking a single string.

Abstract: Hitch plugs and methods for installing hitch plugs for covering an opening in a trailer hitch are provided. In one implementation, a tow hitch plug may include a body having an outer surface that may correspond to inner dimensions of a cavity of a tow hitch receiver of the trailer hitch. The tow hitch plug may include a flange connected to a front end of the body in embodiments. The flange may radially extend beyond the outer surface of the cylindrical body and a threaded hole may extend through the flange in embodiments. Also, in embodiments, the tow hitch plug may include an arm connected to an end of the body and a lock insert connected to the arm. In a locked state, the lock insert may be inserted through an opening in a bracket of the trailer hitch at a back end of the tow hitch receiver in embodiments.

Abstract: A quick release roller for a conveyor system is configured to permit easy maintenance and replacement of the rollers in the system. The roller includes first and second roller segments that may be cooperatively joined together around a mounting shaft carried by the conveyor. The segmented roller permits the quick release to be removed and attached to the conveyor without disassembly of other conveyor components supporting the roller. The quick release roller facilitates maintenance and service of the conveyor system while limiting operational downtime for the conveyor while being serviced.

Abstract: A quick release pillow block bearing assembly has end pieces, a center bearing housing carrying a bearing, and quick release pins for retaining the bearing housing with the end pieces. The invention enables replacement and or repair of the bearing and its counterparts easily, efficiently, and less often. The user need only remove the quick release pins remove the bearing housing and thereby gain access to the housing, which also provides access to the bearing/shaft and counterparts. Upon removal of the quick release pins, the center housing may be removed from the structure, while the end pieces stay in place, allowing one to remove and install the bearing quickly. It also enables removal of the shaft in seconds, thus permitting easy and quick replacement of worn sections of the bearing.
