B65D085/00

US Classification:

206/315110, 224/916000

Abstract:

A case for archery equipment includes, interengaging first and second half portions connected for movement between open and closed positions. The first half portion includes a first wall defining a first interior recess and having a first mating rim. The first half portion further includes a plurality of first supports formed in the first wall, and located within the first interior recess. The second half portion includes a second wall defining a second interior recess and having a second mating rim. The second half portion further includes a plurality of second supports formed in the second wall and located within the second interior recess. Each first support has a first longitudinal axis and is aligned along a common first axis which intersects each first longitudinal axis normally within and defining a first common plane. Each second support has a second longitudinal axis and is aligned along a common second axis which intersects each second longitudinal axis normally within defining a second and common plane. The first and second planes are parallel and offset in the open position and aligned in opposition in the closed position such that each first support engages each said second support in mating contact. A load applied to the case in a closed position is distributed among the first and second supports and the first and second mating rims, resulting in a protective zone defined by the first and second interior recesses.

Inventors:

Joseph F. Fiore - Lebanon PA, US

International Classification:

B62B 7/00

US Classification:

280 4738

Abstract:

An occupant retention structure for a child's stroller utilizes an abbreviated upper horn extending downwardly from the underside of the tray and an abbreviated lower horn that extends upwardly from the seat pan beneath the lower horn without connection therebetween. Other protuberances formed by the tray and seat structures cooperates with the upper and lower horns to prevent the passage of a small probe used to determine if a child's torso or head could pass through an opening. The tray is mounted on a forwardly extending mounting pin for rotation thereon, while being rotatable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the mounting pin to provide a swivel connection for the tray on one of the arm rests. A spring-loaded detent allows the tray to be released from the mounting pin for removal thereof from the stroller. The opposing end of the tray is latched to the other arm rest.

Woodstream Corporation - Lititz PA

International Classification:

A01M 2324

US Classification:

43 85

Abstract:

A tunnel-type mousetrap has a central trapping mechanism powered by a rubber band. The rubber band is wound between an anchor plate in the top wall of the tunnel and a striker plate that fits over the anchor plate and has end walls with trapping apertures that project downwardly through the tunnel. The rubber band urges the striker plate upwardly, and the trap is set by pushing down on the striker plate to engage a pivotal trigger carried by the anchor plate. When a mouse enters the tunnel and dislodges the trigger, the striker plate springs upwardly under the force of the rubber band and traps the mouse's neck in one of the trapping apertures. The trigger may be scented to attract mice and may hold a sunflower seed as additional bait.

International Classification:

A01K 3108

US Classification:

43 61

Abstract:

A cage-type animal trap has side walls which fold inwardly concertina-wise and end frames with sliding doors which fold up against the roof of the trap so that the trap can be collapsed into a compact package for storage and transportation. When the trap is opened out for use the end frames form braces rigidly supporting the side walls. A trigger mechanism on the roof of the trap holds both doors open so that an animal can enter the trap from either end. A pivotal trip pan in the base of the trap is connected by cables to the trigger mechanism. When an animal steps on the trip pan from either end, the trigger mechanism releases both doors which slide closed under gravity. The trap can optionally be operated with one of the doors remaining closed and can be provided in a non-collapsible version.
