  • Publication number: 20170332742
    Abstract: A system and method for a locking mechanism that includes an ability to indicate proper engagement via a signal cable coupled through a harness. The locking mechanism may include electronic components including three magnetic actuators and corresponding electronic switches that signal change of state. Locking tabs and a leading edge of the insert respectively include the three magnetic actuators. The electronic switches, which may be magnetically activated reed switches, signal status change to an external controller and, optionally, an external computer. Further, status signals and power signals may be routed through a steel cable or woven nylon harness that coupled the locking mechanism to a local anchor point. Change of status notification may be important on critical safety worksites where lack of mechanical and electronic connection can be life threatening.

  • Publication number: 20170332743
    Abstract: A hand tool adapted to manipulate and open split rings is provided. The hand tool has two elements both having handles operatively associated so that the distal end jaw portions of the elements are movable between a closed and an open position. An opening jaw has a penetrating probe for opening convolution of a split ring, while the opposing supporting jaw provides a supporting surface acting as an anvil providing opposing force to the other linear elements probe. The split ring is generally disposed around the spaced apart opposing jaws, permitting the probe to penetrate the convolutions over a deeper range because there is no limitation created by the opposing jaw.

  • Publication number: 20170332776
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a cosmetic brush cleaning system and method which spins a brush and provides centrifugal force at varying speeds to clean the brush head. The brush can be used for the application of makeup and the brush can either slide into an attachment which is then connected via a magnetic coupling mechanism to secure the brush before it is spun and cleaned, or the brush itself can be provided with the magnetic coupling component inherently in the brush. The operator of the device determines the speed that is necessary based upon the type of liquid the brush has been in contact with and the operator uses a controller to speed up or slow down the rotational mechanism. The centrifugal force removes the material sticking to the brush while it is cleaned.

  • Publication number: 20170332782
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing multiple items or clothing comprises a base vertical support mounted to an existing door or location and a variable vertical support that contracts toward and extends away from the base vertical support. Telescoping units attach between the vertical supports and provide for storage of items. A cord extends the length of the respective telescoping units when such units are completely extended, whereby extending the telescoping units separates supports holding stored items. Attachment means attaching the cord to the storage supports holding stored items cause the storage supports attached to the cord to become spaced apart when the telescoping units are extended. The cord folds when the apparatus contracts and the storage supports move closer in relation to one another.
