Abstract: A rain deflector apparatus includes a plurality of panels configured to telescope relative to one another to adjust an overall width of the apparatus. Each panel includes a main body having a front face, a back face, and edges defining a bottom seal portion and a top sealing surface portion. The panels include mating features configured to constrain relative movement while permitting longitudinal translation between the panels. One or more attachment mechanisms are disposed on the panels and configured to secure the apparatus to a structure. When installed, the bottom seal portion and the top sealing surface portion are configured to engage corresponding surfaces to reduce intrusion of water by diverting water and debris away from an opening. In embodiments, a retention device includes a shaft portion insertable into an extruded mounting portion and a head portion configured to retain an accessory.

Abstract: A lightweight, compact, modular, and reusable clip apparatus, that provides for the secure attachment of a rain deflector to a sliding glass door or window track rail. The clip apparatus configured to attach a rain deflector to a track rail. The clip apparatus includes a jaw portion having two jaw halves. The jaw potion is configured with a receiving, or clamping, geometry that is shaped to securely clip over and receive a track rail. By way of example and not limitation, these track rails may have a button or mushroom-shaped extruded profile and the jaw receiving portion preferably also has surfaces configured to receive and securely clip around and onto that profile. Embodiments of the clip apparatus are further configured with a receiver.

Abstract: The disclosed invention pertains to a rain deflector apparatus designed to minimize water intrusion into sliding glass door tracks or similar structures. The deflector, with an innovative geometry, attaches securely to the door track, creating a sealing pressure against the floor and door. Its substantially flat sheet body incorporates a bottom seal portion and a top sealing surface, ensuring effective water diversion. The deflector can be part of a configurable system or a kit for customized assembly. The objectives include reducing water intrusion during severe weather, easy installation and removal, rigidity for shape maintenance, compliance for sealing force, and accessibility for regular door use. This rain deflector system presents a practical solution for varied structures, enhancing protection and user convenience.

Abstract: A rain deflector apparatus provides a declined body surface to deflect water away from a sliding glass door (or similar structure) and a one or more compliant portion in order to prevent water and debris from collecting in the track and making its way under the door. In a preferred embodiment, the rain deflector apparatus is secured to the door or door track by a one or more attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism(s) is/are selected such that their holding force to the track or other structure is sufficient to keep the upper edge of the apparatus pressed up against the glass and the lower edge in sealed relation to the track or floor.

Abstract: A child safety lid is provided and used to close the opening of content containers including rigid and flexible containers/bags. The cover requires a multiple step process in order to be removed and helps to prevent inadvertent or accidental openings of the container. The lid/cover can comprise a top member, a locking member, a bottom member and a seal member. The top member can be secured to the bottom member with the locking member captured therebetween and the seal member can extend downward from the bottom member and contact an internal shelf/ledge disposed within the container near the container opening. In one embodiment, the seal member and bottom member can be bonded to each other through an overmolding process. In one embodiment, the seal can be constructed from an elastomer material.

Abstract: A rain deflector apparatus provides a declined body surface to deflect water away from a sliding glass door (or similar structure) and a compliant base portion that can be sealably inserted into the sliding glass door's track (or similar structure) in order to prevent water and debris from collecting in the track and making its way under the door. In a preferred embodiment, the rain deflector apparatus is secured to the glass of the sliding glass door by way of one or more suction cups. The suction cups are selected such that their holding force to the glass is sufficient to keep the upper edge of the apparatus pressed up against the glass and the lower edge in sealed relation to the track or floor.

Abstract: Child safety lid/cover is provided and used to close the opening of content containers including rigid containers. The cover requires a multiple step process in order to be removed and helps to prevent inadvertent or accidental openings of the container. An embodiment for flexible bags includes the cover and adds a ring member that contains the locking section that the cover/lid is secured to. The flexible bag is secured to the ring member. The disclosed lid/cover can also be incorporated into lids of larger containers, such as, without limitation, relatively large tubs and pails.

Abstract: A medicine container cap for use with a bottle containing a plurality of pills includes a casing having a pill dispensing opening. A pill dispensing track assembly is removably coupled to the casing and includes a pill ramp for delivering pills to the pill dispensing opening and an insert that includes a pill dispenser slot that receives pills from the pill ramp and is open to the pill dispensing opening. The insert is detachably from the pill ramp and is insertable through an opening in the casing for being attached to the pill ramp. The pill ramp includes an adjustable member that modifies a characteristic of the pill ramp based on at least one characteristic of the insert that is selected, inserted through the opening in the casing and coupled to the pill ramp.
