A chip dismounting and mounting device, matched with a chip mounting part on a process cartridge. The chip dismounting and mounting device is capable of dismounting a chip disposed on the chip mounting part or mounting the chip on the chip mounting part. The chip dismounting and mounting device can smoothly dismount the chip on an exhausted process cartridge without damage and smoothly mount the dismounted chip on a new process cartridge. This alleviates the inconvenience for the user to dismount a chip on the exhausted process cartridge and mount the chip on the new process cartridge.

There is disclosed a method of applying activatable material to a member of an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle. According to the method, the activatable material is provided to an applicator followed by applying the activatable material to the member wherein the activatable material is attached by way of a mechanical interlock via one or more through-holes.

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.

An assembly includes a composite body and a load body connected to the composite body by a fastener. The composite body is elongate along a body axis and has a first fastener opening extending radially therethrough. The load body has a second fastener opening extending therethrough. The fastener extends along an insertion axis through the first fastener opening and the second fastener opening to connect the composite body and the first load body together. The fastener has a non-circular cross-section orthogonal to the insertion axis.

A misting device has a form factor that allows the device to be handheld. The device includes a fluid tank that can be pressurized to force the contained fluid under pressure through a fluid delivery system. A hand-operated pump injects 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. 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.

To improve the visual probability of the quality of a fixed state of a fixing object fixed to a fixation item, the fixing object includes the supporting part having a hole and a groove formed in proximity to the hole. The groove is provided with a one-way open part, opened in a surface of the supporting part in which one exit of the hole is located and not opened in a surface of the supporting part in which the other exit of the hole is located, and the distance from the center of gravity of the hole to the portion of the groove that is farthest from the center of gravity of the hole is greater than the distance from the center of gravity to a side-surface portion in the hole that is closest to the groove without touching the groove.

Key threaded systems that include key threads having a female lock and male key on a two-dimensional plane and in which the female lock envelops the male key when fully engaged and has a shape that creates lateral resistance to separation from the male key when the female lock fully engages the male key.

A cargo retainer for use with a vehicle includes a mat having a top side, a bottom side, a leading portion, a trailing portion, and an aperture for securing the trailing portion to the vehicle via a fastener. The cargo retainer includes a retention anchor configured to attach to the vehicle. The retention anchor has a top portion and a cleat portion such that the top portion is coupled with the leading portion of the mat. The cleat portion of the retention anchor extends away from the bottom side of the mat and is adapted to be inserted into and retained by a gap formed between a cargo area of the vehicle and either a tailgate of the vehicle or a bumper of the vehicle.

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.
