Abstract: A device for fixing a drawer-type element on a rail of a pullout guide has a clamping mechanism, which has a housing having a receptacle into which an oblong retaining part is insertable to fix it on the housing.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a jump rope handle assembly is described. The jump rope handle assembly includes a handle having a longitudinal axis. A shaft assembly is disposed within the handle. The shaft assembly is to receive a jump rope section and is to rotate and slide within the handle. The shaft assembly includes a collet to retain the jump rope section. The jump rope handle assembly also includes a spring to compress between the shaft assembly and an interior impact surface of the handle.

Abstract: A coupling for securing fabric items includes a pin assembly which has a head and a shaft. The shaft passes through the fabric items. A catch is then mated with the shaft such that the fabric items are sandwiched between the head and the catch. A magnetic release member is employed when it becomes necessary to decouple the catch from the shaft.

Abstract: The invention relating to a locking mechanism is provided herein. The invention is composed of a pin adapted with a circumferential pin notch; a lock housing; a chamber with a chamber pin slot for receiving the pin and adapted to mate with the lock housing; a set of a given number of uniformly dimensioned ball bearings; a bearing housing adapted to fit inside the chamber, adapted to contain the ball bearings while enabling horizontal movement of the ball bearings and restraining vertical movement of the ball bearings, and adapted with a bearing housing pin slot for receiving the pin. When the pin is inserted into the chamber pin slot, the pin applies horizontal force to the ball bearings, which in turn deform the inside of the chamber. The ball bearings seat in the circumferential pin notch, locking the pin in place.

Abstract: A security tag assembly structured to restrict unauthorized removal of merchandise from a designated area is presented. The security tag assembly comprises a base and a tag member removably connected to the merchandise being protected or monitored. A locking assembly is disposed within the base and is structured to be biased into a locking orientation relative to a connector pin of the tag member. A release assembly, also disposed within the base, is structured to facilitate the authorized release of the locking assembly upon application of an externally applied detachment assembly. In particular the release assembly comprises a displacement structure including coaxially disposed first and second members connected via an at least partially flexible biasing connector comprising an arcuate or “U” shaped configuration. The second collar is structured for disposition into a displacing engagement with the locking assembly upon the forced movement of the first collar.

Abstract: A security tag assembly structured to restrict unauthorized removal of merchandise from a designated area is presented. The security tag assembly comprises a base and a tag member removably connected to the merchandise being protected or monitored. A locking assembly is disposed within the base and is structured to be biased into a locking orientation relative to a connector pin of the tag member. A release assembly, also disposed within the base, is structured to facilitate the authorized release of the locking assembly upon contact with an externally applied detachment assembly. In particular the release assembly comprises first and second members disposed in a movable interlocked relation with one another, wherein the first member is structured to be rotationally disposed upon contact with the detachment assembly. The second member is structured for disposition into a displacing engagement with the locking assembly upon the rotational movement of the first member.

Abstract: A hardware system is provided for use in ready-to-assembly (RTA) furniture that allows assembly thereof without the need for tools. The system includes a pin fastener and a pin receiver assembly. The pin receiver assembly is installed into one panel of the RTA furniture while the pin fastener is installed into another panel or component that is to be fastened to the first panel. The pin receiver includes a retaining means therein that serves to releasably engage the pin fastener when it is inserted therein. The pin receiver includes a body having engaging members therein that engage the pin shaft when the pin shaft is inserted into the pin receiver. In a preferred embodiment the pin receiver can be disengaged from the pin fastener using a magnet.

Abstract: A fastener for ornaments includes a housing 12 having a pin passing hole 16 and an opening portion 19. A guide 22 has a small diameter portion 23a at the pin passing hole 16 side. A movable operating body 32 has a grip member 34 protruded to an exterior from the opening portion 19 at one end 33a of a column portion 33 and having, at another end 33b, a small ball holder portion 35, with which in a latched state, a surface at a small ball 46 side of its outer peripheral surface 37 closely contacts an inner peripheral surface 24 of the guide 22. A coil spring 52 pressingly urges the movable operating body 35 in a pin clamping direction. A plurality of small balls 46 disposed in the movable operating body clamp an inserted pin (P).

Abstract: A security clutch for a jewelry post with a circumferential groove includes a housing with a post receiving aperture extending therethrough and two access ports through a side wall. A pair of interlocking C-shaped lock members each include an inner free end that carries a lug anchor and an outer free end that serves as a trigger. The lug anchors are spring-biased by a spring toward one another to thereby urge the triggers outward through their respective access ports. The inner free ends are also urged toward one another by the forces of the spring to slidably reside in the post receiving aperture of the housing into locking engagement with the circumferential groove of the jewelry post residing in the post receiving aperture.

Abstract: A security clutch for a jewelry post, such as an earring post, is disclosed. The security clutch includes a housing with a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall. An access port in the side wall and a post receiving aperture through the top wall and the bottom wall are also provided. A trigger is disposed within the housing and includes a button portion that protrudes from the housing and through the access port for manipulation by the user. A U-shaped post engaging member is disposed within the housing and is in communication with and lies in the same plane as the trigger. A spring-biasing member is connected to the U-shaped post engaging member to position the U-shaped post engaging member into partial blocking of the post receiving aperture and into engagement with the groove of a grooved post received therein.
