Depressors Patents (Class 24/53)
  • Patent number: 6511108
    Abstract: A tote bin seal for securing sheet material lids via aligned lid apertures includes a flange forming an ID flag attached to a locking device having a hollow core body at one body end and two semi-circular arrays of tangs at the other body end, the tangs formed of stems and reverse hooks or barbs. The body is somewhat oval with a rectangular central portion, the tangs depending from each arcuate end of the oval. Each of the tangs and the body have an interior axially extending triangular stiffening rib. An insert with a head and a bifurcated shank is attached to the flange opposite the body and may be sheared from the flange for insertion into the body core. The shank forms a locking opening which captures a web in the body core for securing the insert locked to the body. The insert prevents the tangs from compressing inwardly to open the seal. The flange has a living hinge so it can be folded over to permit reading ID data from the flange in stacked bins.

  • Patent number: 6490763
    Abstract: The invention offers a clip that makes it possible to use any necktie as is by the enabling the simple tying of a necktie knot with a single step. The invention is a roll-knot necktie clip that is formed from a holding frame (1) having a claw-shaped catch section (2a) and an inside holding frame (4a) in the shape of a ring that is joined to the base (5) by a connector plate (8). The second working example of the invention is an improved version made from the first working example and is formed from the holding frame (1) and the inside holding frame (4a). The second working example makes it possible to form a knot in nearly a single step without the use of a screw or other device by folding the inside of the essential part (14) and holding this in the inside holding frame, then inserting the outside (11a) and inside (11b) of the necktie (11b) that are overlapped in a U-shape into the holding frame.
