NECKLACE SHORTENER
A jewelry shortener for temporarily shortening a jewelry chain comprises a clasp with a cushion element that traps both sides of the chain at a desired ienath when the clasped is dosed. The clasp may or may not have an ornamental element that is visible when worn.
MASK
A mask includes a main body, mask cord and cord lock. The cord lock is made of an elastic material and movably attached to the mask cord for adjusting a circle contour formed by the main body, mask cord and cord lock for putting around a user's head. The cord lock includes a locking portion connected to a grip portion that internally defines a receiving space and the grip portion is divided into a deformable zone and a supporting zone. A smaller circle contour is adjustable to a larger one through deformation of the deformable zone, which allows the cord lock to move closer to the head and release some length of the mask cord that is originally received in the receiving space for expanding the circle contour. Meanwhile, the cord lock and the mask cord do not slide relative to each other and the mask maintains secure seal.
Closing device having a winding element
A fastener device includes a first fastener part and a second fastener part which can be mounted on one another along a closing direction and are held against one another in a closed position, and are releasable from one another in order to open the fastener device. The second fastener part has a winding element on which a tension element can be arranged and which is rotatable relative to the first fastener part in order to wind up the tension element on the winding element in a winding direction.

Cord lock apparatus and belt with same
An article of clothing in the form of a belt includes: a cord having a proximal end and a distal end; and an eyelet having an opening and a locking feature; wherein the proximal end of the cord is looped around the eyelet; the distal end of the cord is configured to pass through the opening, wherein the cord and the eyelet combine to form a continuous closed loop when the distal end of the cord is passed through the opening; and the locking feature is structured and arranged to selectively lock and unlock movement of the cord through the opening.
Securable Clip
A securable clip includes a first elongated rectangular portion and a second elongated rectangular portion connected along a common edge. The clip includes at least one locking peg, at least one receiving hole configured to receive the at least one locking peg, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion provides a visual indication that the clip has been opened. The releasing of the locking peg prevents the clip from being reclosed, reused, or sealed again.
Cord lock
A cord lock includes a cord lock main body as a case which houses the same. The cord lock main body is made such that locking on the cord is released by a pulling operation to reduce an insertion amount of a portion of a male member into an insertion passage. The case forms a cylindrical shape with openings on both ends through which the cord can pass and combines with the cord lock main body side in a manner allowing the case to be reciprocally moved along the cylinder axis direction. When the case is moved forward, the pulling action is made with a first engage-abutting portion of the case engaging an engage-abutted portion. When the case is moved backward, the pulling operation is made with a second engagement portion of the case engaging the engagement portion of the case engage-abutted portion of the male member.
Expandable device for a portable electronic device
An expandable device for use with a portable electronic device includes a body, a button, a platform, and a locking device. The body has a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis, and is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The button is coupled to the first end of the body, and the platform includes an outer surface and a collar extending away from the outer surface. The collar defines a cavity. The locking device is carried by the second end of the body, and at least a portion of the locking device is adapted to be removably disposed in the cavity of the platform for releasably coupling the body to the platform. The locking device is rotatable relative to the platform between an unlocked configuration, in which the body is removable from the platform, and a locked configuration, in which the body is secured to the platform.
NAPKIN RING WITH INTERCHANGEABLE DECORATIVE TOPPER AND BASE
An embodiment of a napkin assembly is disclosed. The napkin assembly includes a napkin ring base including an embedded base magnet, wherein a planar surface of the embedded base magnet is flush with a planar surface of the napkin ring base, and a ring topper including an embedded topper magnet, wherein a planar surface of the embedded topper magnet is flush with a planar surface of the ring topper, wherein the embedded base magnet is magnetically connected to the embedded topper magnet.
