PIN
A pin comprises a metal body extending along a longitudinal insertion axis (Ox) and has a first and a second end along the longitudinal axis (Ox), an upper face and a lower face opposite the upper face. The pin has two convex portions each having an inclined inner wall and an inclined outer wall, the inclined walls of each convex portion forming a ridge and extending along the longitudinal axis. At least one ridge has on its lower face a protruding blade obtained by cutting and folding the metal body along the longitudinal axis. A concave portion of the pin connects the inner walls of each convex portion via a central surface. The pin has at least one blocking member.
SLEEVED LUG NUT APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION TOOL
The present invention provides an improved lug nut protection system that includes a keyed lug nut and a specialty tool for installation and removal. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a protective sleeve which slides over the wheel end of a given lug nut, and which is held in place by a retaining ring or the like. According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve preferably freely rotates and prevents common tools (i.e., pipe wrenches) from removing the lug nut thus preventing theft of the wheel/tire. According to a further preferred embodiment, the lug nut of the present invention is preferably recessed within the protective sleeve and preferably includes a keyed head which requires a specialty tool to remove the lug nut. Preferably, the specialty tool of the present invention fits inside the sleeve and over the top of the custom lug nut design.
HANDHELD MISTING DEVICE WITH PRESSURE-RELIEVING HANDLE
A handheld misting device, having a fluid tank that can be pressurized to force the contained fluid under pressure through a fluid delivery system, includes a hand-operated pump for injecting air into the fluid tank to pressurize the fluid tank. The pump includes a pump handle located at the bottom of the tank at one end of a rod, and a piston at the other end of the rod. The pump handle rotates in order to lock, in a retracted position, against the tank; the form factor of the handle conforms to that of the tank, to define an unbroken outer surface of the device when the handle is locked in the retracted position. A pressure-relieving air channel extends through the piston, the rod, and the pump handle to emit air out of the pump and into the environment when the fluid tank is at a maximum pressure.
WATER BARRIER SYSTEM COMPRISING CONNECTION DEVICE
The present invention relates to a water barrier module system comprising a first (10) and a second (20) protective module configured to form at least a part of a water barrier. Each protective module comprises a side flange (12, 22) extending substantially perpendicular to a main plane and having an outer surface (18, 28) and an inner surface (16, 26). Each of the side flanges comprises at least one elongated opening (14, 24) having a width (W2) and a length (L2), wherein the length is larger than the width. A connection device (30) is configured to, in a connecting position, connect the side flanges (12, 22) by extending through the elongated openings when the outer surfaces of the two side flanges are arranged to each other. The connection device (30) comprises a first portion (31) configured to abut the inner surface of the first side flange, and a second portion (32) configured to abut the inner surface of the second side flange. The first portion (31) of the connection device has a width (W3) that is smaller or equal to the width (W2) of the elongated openings (14, 24) and a length (L3) that is larger than the width (W2) of the elongated openings and smaller than or equal to the length (L2) of the elongated openings.
Case and mount system for handheld electronic device
A protective case for a handheld electronic device is provided. The protective case can include a removable mounting system comprised of an interlocking member and a plurality of mounting bases. The protective case may further include a non-slip member to prevent the device from slipping on a surface and a magnet for attaching the device to a magnetic surface.

Quick Release Connector
A quick release connector for coupling a removable device with a mounting surface. The mounting surface can include a wheelchair arm, and the removable device can include a user controller. The quick release connector can enable a user to briefly contact a release mechanism, rotate the removable device by a limited amount, and remove the device with a single hand. The quick release connector can robustly couple the removable device with the mounting surface, enabling the mounted removable device to resist dislodging by knocks and bumps.

Coupling lamps to pole mounts
A coupler has a pole coupling portion and a lamp coupling portion, enabling a lamp to be coupled to a pole. A mating connection extends between the pole coupling portion and the lamp coupling, and includes segments extending away from each of the pole coupling portion and lamp coupling portion, where the segments nest. The pole coupling portion has a pole coupling body and an internally disposed affixed ring having a gap portion. A clip is connected to the pole and is positioned within gap to limit radial rotation of the pole coupling portion. The lamp coupling portion has passageways for the passage of wires from the pole coupling portion to a lighting module attached to the lamp coupling portion. The light can be radially positioned with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pole and radially rotated with respect to the pole coupling portion.
