A clamp is provided. The clamp has a first member, a second member, and a biasing element assembly pivotally connecting the first member to the second member. A first end of the first member can be pivoted to a position that is essentially adjacent to a second end of the second member and locked into place. A first slot is formed on a first surface of a first cushion. A second slot is formed on the second surface of a second cushion. A first member of a clamp is inserted into the first slot and a second member of the clamp into the second slot, so that a portion of at least one layer of bed covering materials can be positioned between the clamp first member and the clamp second member when the first member is locked into place.

A magnetic mechanical latching attachment for connecting goggles to a helmet includes a goggle attachment portion configured to mechanically and magnetically attach to a helmet attachment portion. The goggle attachment portion and helmet attachment portion include complimentary interlocking features that mechanically lock the portions together when attached and magnetic features that assist engagement of the complimentary interlocking features in a locked position. A related method of coupling goggles to a helmet, as well as a helmet-goggle attachment system, is provided.

A magnetic anchoring device for securing an object onto a ferromagnetic object or support structure. The magnetic anchoring device includes a flexible member having a first end, an opposite second end, a front surface, and an opposite rear surface, the first end, the second end, the front surface, and the rear surface defining an open interior, a first magnet positioned within the open interior of the flexible member and proximate the first end, and a second magnet positioned within the open interior of the flexible member and proximate the second end. In some embodiments, the magnetic anchoring device includes a third magnet positioned within the open interior of the flexible member between the first magnet and the second magnet. In some embodiments, the second magnet is an elongated member and the first magnet is slidably adjustable along the second magnet.

An undergarment including a front panel having a top edge, an elastic band arranged on the front panel along the top edge and extending beyond the front panel parallel to the top edge. The undergarment further includes a back panel having a top edge, the elastic band arranged on the back panel along the top edge and extending beyond the back panel parallel to the top edge, and a pair of connectors secured to the elastic band and configured to attach to a side seam of a blouse or shirt.

A push button slide mechanism, includes an outer member having a bottom wall and an upstanding side wall. The outer member defines at least one pair of holes through the upstanding side wall. The mechanism includes an inner member having a top plate and a bottom plate defining a single annular channel therebetween. The single annular channel receives an elongated member in all rotational positions of the inner member relative to the outer member. A spring member spring-biases the outer member relative to the inner member. Pressing the inner member toward the outer member against the spring forces of the spring causes the single annular channel to align with the holes through the upstanding side wall of the outer member.

An adjustable connector strap may include two interlocking bodies, wherein one body includes a plurality of teeth located along opposing edges, and the other body includes a plurality of notches located along opposing edges. The user may select the number of teeth that are mated with the notches to adjust the size of the strap. The use of interlocking teeth and notches along the opposed edges of the strap bodies may enhances the ability of the strap to maintain its interlocking strength during tension loads. The teeth and notch engagement may also allow a user to quickly engage or disengage the strap bodies, thereby enhancing the ease-of-use of the strap.

A system for carrying or using a device includes the device and at least one attachment apparatus. The device may include at least one attachment element. The attachment apparatus may include a length of material and at least one attachment point arranged on an end of the length of material. The at least one attachment point may include at least one magnetic feature configured to attach and detach the device and the length of material. The material can include but is not limited to cloth, metallic (magnetic and non-magnetic), fibrous material, and so forth.

A strap length adjusting apparatus includes first and second stationary plates and a middle plate disposed between them. The middle plate can rotate relative to the first and second stationary plates. A biasing device is linked to first and second coupling members between the middle plate and the first plate. The biasing device can either couple the middle plate to the first plate or decouple the middle plate from the first plate. When the first and middle plates are decoupled from each other, the middle plate can rotate with respect to the first plate, and a strap partially wound about a rod that extends from the middle plate, can wind about the rod either clockwise or counterclockwise so as to continuously change a length of the strap that extends away from the rod.
