Abstract: A rigid stopper (10) made of bisphenol-free polycarbonate and silicone synthetic materials, particularly for a wine bottle (48), comprises a cylindrical body (12) and two opposing faces (16, 18), and at least two compressible-elastomeric “O”-rings (22, 24) seated in corresponding circumferential grooves (26, 28) on a side (14) of the body (12). The faces (16, 18) are comprised of foramen (42, 44) respectively which communicate with a volute-cavity (40) for the purpose of accepting a cork-screw-extractor. The volute-cavity (40) is comprised of a partition (46) at a central-plane (56) for the purpose of preventing wine from leaking through the volute-cavity (40). “O”-rings (22, 24) are compressively forced into a mouth (50) of a bottle (48) positioning either face (16) or face (18) flush with the mouth (50) thereby providing adequate compressive force in maintaining position of the stopper (10).
Abstract: A coil component according to one aspect is provided with a core containing a plurality of soft magnetic metal particles, a winding wire wound on the core, and a sheathing body provided on the core so as to cover at least part of the winding wire and having a relative magnetic permeability smaller than that of the core.
Abstract: A smart safe console system; the smart safe console system includes a smart safe console assembly having a smart safe body suitable to house and button configured for controlling input and output communications to and from the electronic device when a vehicle hosting the smart safe console system is in use. Smart safe console system is useful for improving vehicle safety in relation to the use of electronic devices.
Abstract: A closure device for a container, and preferably for a water decanter, comprising a frame comprising a closure opening and which is preferably round and configured for insertion into a pouring opening of the container, a lid, which is connected to a pendulum and which is suspended in the closure opening of the frame, and configured to swing therein, wherein the lid is configured to close and seal the closure opening when the container is substantially upright, and wherein the lid and pendulum are configured to rotate with respect to the closure opening when the container is held in a slanted or horizontal manner. The closure device preferably comprises at least one cantilever arm secured to an inner wall of the frame at a first end and connected to the lid at a second end so that the lid is configured to swing with respect to the closure opening.

Abstract: A product includes a closure having a radially inner portion, and being removably securable to a container, and a pendant releasably coupled to the radially inner portion of the closure, and being releasable from the closure into the container upon removal of the closure from the container. A package may include the product and a container, wherein the closure is removably secured to a neck of the container to removably close the container, and the pendant is suspended from the closure in an interior of the container neck, such that when the closure is removed from the container, the pendant releases from the closure and drops into the container and is non-removably carried therein to provide an indication that the package has been opened from its original factory sealed condition.
