Abstract: An adjustment buckle assembly includes a first component having a shaft extending from a flange and a second component having a receptacle formed through a base. The shaft is configured to be at least partially inserted into the receptacle and tapers inwardly relative to a central axis extending centrally through the first component. The shaft carries a plurality of teeth that are configured to engage with a plurality of ribs carried on the second component.

Abstract: A clamp assembly removably couples to a sheet of material. An item, such as a body camera, mounted on the clamp assembly may be coupled to the sheet of material via the clamp assembly. A sheet of material is provided adjacent a base of the clamp assembly. An insert is provided adjacent the sheet of material on a side opposite the base. A clamp element is connected to the base and moves between an open position and closed position. Movement of the clamp element to the closed position resists removal of the base from the sheet of material. Embodiments of the present disclosure also involve clamp assembly bases, as well as systems for securing an item, such as a body camera, to the sheet of material.

Abstract: A spool has a pair of spaced apart plates mounted on opposing sides of a central core. A flexible fabric sheet is positioned in contact with a face of one of the plates of the spool and across a peripheral edge of the plate. A clip includes a pair of legs joined at one end and extending around the core of the spool with the fabric thereby forced into contact with the core. With the legs so inserted between the plates the fabric is captured in the spool so that the spool and clip are not able to move on the fabric or be dislodged from it. The legs terminate with toe curved in opposing lateral directions and which are able to be mutually interlocked in an overlapping attitude.

Abstract: This invention provides a clip for joining tubular members that employs living hinges that are part of a unitary clip including jaws and a base spring. The jaws are joined by a center living hinge and each jaw is also joined along a surface opposite its gripping surface to a cantilevered end of the base spring by a side-mounted living hinge. When the clip jaws are in a fully open orientation, with the center hinge at a maximum distance away from the base spring, the user biases the central hinge toward the base spring. The base spring ends are thereby biased away from each other, and after the jaws rotate about their living hinges through a position of maximum spread in the base spring ends, the spring ends rebound, forcing the jaws downward toward the base spring, and into a fully closed orientation. The clip includes a base that can be an anchor that embeds in foam of an upholstery cushion, or can have an adhesive that allows it to be secured to a structure, in the case of a pipe or conduit clamp.

Abstract: A merchandising hanger has a planar surface adapted to receive printed indicia thereon and characterized by having a top and a base. The top of the planar surface is formed as a hook, cutout, or hole so as to allow the merchandising hanger to be suspended from a conventional merchandising rack. A tab extends from the base of the planar surface and includes a stud integral with the tab and a stud-receiving aperture in another portion of the tab. The aperture has a flange associated therewith. Intermediate between the stud and the aperture is a tab portion having a thickness less than the tab portion proximal to the planar surface. The relative thicknesses of tab portions and the interaction between the stud and complementary aperture afford a theft deterrent without compromising the merchandising function.

Abstract: A decorative ribbon forming device and a decorative ribbon forming and mounting device capable of easily forming a decorative ribbon without taking much time and easily mounting the decorative ribbon, comprising a decorative ribbon forming device (1) for forming the decorative ribbon (12) and a decorative ribbon mounting device (2) for mounting the decorative ribbon formed by the decorative ribbon forming device (1) on an installed object, wherein the decorative ribbon forming device (1) is formed by connecting, through a connection member (5), a first flat plate (3) having a locked member (6) installed therein to a second flat plate (4) having a locking part (7) for locking the locked member (6) provided therein, the decorative ribbon mounting device (2) is formed by forming, therein, a locking part (9) for locking the locked member (6) projected from the second flat plate (4) and forming, therein, an installation hole (8) for installing the decorative ribbon to the installed object.

Abstract: A sterile one-piece suture clip having a first clamping member having a distal end, a first proximal end and a first clamping surface, a second clamping member having a second proximal end, a second clamping surface, and a locking surface and being pivotally connected at said second proximal end by a hinge to said first proximal end of the first clamping member, a plurality of leg members each having an inner surface, a side surface and an end, said legs being disposed in sets comprising U-shaped members in combination with the first clamping surface, the inner surface of each leg in the set facing the opposite leg thereof, said inner surface being beveled from the end of the leg toward the first clamping surface to form ears, said U-shaped members being attached to the first clamping member, said side surface of said legs being beveled from the end of the leg toward the first clamping member thereby forming a channel said first clamping member being adapted to be placed on a suture to be clipped, said channe

Abstract: A fastening device or apparatus wherein mechanical connection and/or disconnection or electrical connection and/or disconnection is accomplished as a result of the deformation of an oval/ellipse shaped component--the deformable component--which may preferably have an elliptical aperture therethrough. Deformation may result from the application of a deforming force which causes the decrease in length of the major axis and a consequent increase in length of the minor axis of the ellipse. The deforming force may be applied by any known means such as by magnetic fields applied where the deformable component may have incorporated therein material which is sensitive and reactive to such magnetic fields or by the application of mechanical pressure from a piston driven by magnetic forces or hydraulic forces and/or forces created by temperature changes such as are known and found in a class of materials characterized as "SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS".

Abstract: A fastening device or apparatus having at least two parts or components wherein reliance is on the deformation of an oval/ellipse shaped aperture which deformation results from the insertion of a stud component into the aperture which is formed within a socket component. The present invention permits the attachment of the two components and the release of such attached components both steps being achievable using the squeezing or pinching forces on only the periphery of so called socket component and exertable with the use of one hand; more specifically the use of the fingers of one hand.
