FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT HAVING INDUCTIVE SENSOR FOR CONNECTION STATUS AND CONTROL
Techniques are described for monitoring and controlling fall protection equipment. For example, the techniques of this disclosure may be used to monitor the connection status of fall protection equipment, e.g., whether or not the fall protection equipment is connected to a support structure. The techniques described in the disclosure may determine whether the fall protection equipment is connected to a support structure based on changes in a resonant frequency of an electronic circuit of an inductive sensor within the fall protection equipment. The inductive sensor may be formed from sets of one or more coils, where a first set of one or more coils and a second set of one or more coils are wound in opposite directions.
Lighting device with rechargeable battery sandwich between printed circuit boards
A lighting module includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) with a push button switch and a charging port, a second PCB with a light emitting diode (LED), a rechargeable battery sandwiched between the PCB's, and ring disposed between the PCB's and surrounding the battery. A device including the lighting module, a body having a cavity with an aperture, and a cap having a protrusion facing the body. The lighting module received in the cavity, with the cap covering the aperture. The protrusion and push button switch are positioned such that when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap further includes a ridge surrounding the protrusion on the outward side, the ridge preventing the protrusion from being pushed into the push button switch, unless the cap is pressed at approximately a location of the protrusion.
Methods and systems for a hose hanger apparatus
Various methods and systems are provided for a hose hanger apparatus comprising an attachment clip, an elastic support connected to the attachment clip, a carabiner assembly connector connected to the elastic support, and a carabiner assembly connected to the carabiner assembly connector.
Bucket hook
A bucket hook for supporting tools from a utility bucket includes: a first leg, including: a first hook; a gate mounted to the first leg and movable between a first position in which it contacts the first hook, and a second position in which it is pivoted away from the first hook; and spring biasing means resiliently urging the gate towards the closed position; and a second leg spaced from the first leg; and a crossbar interconnecting the first leg and the second leg, wherein the first leg, the second leg, and the crossbar cooperatively define an interior space having an inverted L shape.
BICYCLE CROSS BAR ADAPTOR
A bicycle cross bar adaptor includes a first tube, a second tube and a control unit. The control unit is located between the first and second tubes. Each of the first and second tubes has a hook connected thereto. The second tube has a groove defined axially in an outer surface thereof. The control unit includes a collar in which the first and second tubes are slidably inserted with each other. A hole is defined through the wall of the collar and a block is located in the hole. A block is located in the hole and removably engaged with the groove. A lever is pivotably connected to the collar and has a cam portion to perform as a quick-release to position the block in the groove or away from the groove to adjust the second tube relative to the first sleeve.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A RATCHET MULTITOOL DEVICE
A ratchet keychain attachment includes a body and a ratcheting area in the body. The ratchet keychain attachment further includes a bit holder, the bit holder pivotally mounted in the body. The ratchet keychain attachment further includes a bit, removably located in the bit holder, the bit holder having a first position where the bit is held in a non-removable position in the bit holder and a second position where the bit is in a removable position.

Installation system for a cabin of a vehicle
An installation system for a cabin of a vehicle includes at least one built-in component for installation in the cabin, multiple base elements for arrangement on a structurally fixed component of the vehicle and multiple holding devices that can be connected to the at least one built-in component. The holding devices each include a clamping unit with receiving space defined by at least two clamping members, wherein the receiving space can be moved between an open and a closed state through movement of at least one of the clamping members in the direction of the other clamping member in each case and wherein the clamping unit is configured to move the at least one clamping member by pressing the clamping unit onto a base element when the receiving space is in the open state and thereby closing the receiving space including the base element.
STRAP CONNECTION SYSTEMS, QUICK CONNECTORS, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A male-female quick connect system is described, along with related methods and uses. Example applications include using the strap as an exercise resistance trainer band, a boating mooring connector, a replacement or supplement to freight transport tie-downs, and others. An interchangeable strap connection system is described, having: a male connector; a strap connected to the male connector; a plurality of female sockets spaced from one another and anchored to a substrate, with each female socket structured to permit the male connector to interchangeably quick connect with and quick release from the female socket.
