Abstract: The present technology relates to an automatically locking, releasable, safety knob assembly for a stove. The assembly includes a base with a locking notch. An adapter mates with the stove's valve stem and has a head, a tubular middle section, and an adapter base with a central aperture for receiving the valve stem. The knob includes a housing with a housing disk covering the base, an arm movement channel aligned with the locking notch in the locked configuration, and a central aperture for receiving the adapter head. The assembly further includes a sub-assembly with a slidable button allowing free rotation of the knob in the unlocked configuration, an automatic locking arm biased with the slidable button, and engagement with the button causing the arm to disengage from the locking notch and move in the arm movement channel, enabling the knob to freely rotate and rotate the valve stem.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present technology relate to safety knobs. An example automatic locking knob assembly includes a knob, a base, an adapter, and a locking sub-assembly. The locking sub-assembly is configured to automatically lock the knob into place when a valve stem of a stove is in an off position. The locking sub-assembly also allows for controlled rotation of the valve stem of the stove by actuation of buttons associated with the knob.

Abstract: A plant container apparatus (610) includes an arrangement (616, 618) for at least partially covering at least one plant container (612) and in which the arrangement (616, 618) is modular in form. In particular, the modular covering arrangement comprises a plurality of appropriately shaped panels (616) which are arranged to be secured together and secured to the plant containers (612) by securing straps (618). In one particular embodiment, the securing straps (618) are arranged to engage with side regions of the panels (616) and to be secured by securing devices such as screw fixtures (120) to upper and lower portions of the plant containers (612). A particularly versatile and readily adjustable and reconfigurable plant container cover arrangement can thereby be provided.
