A directional lock or a headgear or interface assembly has one or more directional locks that include a catch arrangement for initiating or assisting in movement of a lock member of the direction lock. In some configurations, the catch arrangement assists movement of the lock member in only a portion of a range of travel of the lock member. In some configurations, the directional lock has a housing and a sleeve and the catch arrangement has a catch arm carried by the sleeve. The catch arm includes a catch end that contacts the lock member, which can be a lock washer in some configurations.

A locking mechanism for use with a coupler assembly for sealing pipe is described herein. The locking mechanism comprises a partially hollow cylindrical body having a first end opposite a second end along a common axis, the body defining a first cord path connecting the first end to a first arcuate opening defined in the body and a second cord path connecting the second end to a second arcuate opening defined in the body, wherein the first cord path and the second cord path comprise separate paths. The locking mechanism further comprising first and second caps that are slidably attachable to the first and second ends of the body, respectively and a cord having a first end portion located within the first cord path and a second end portion located within the second cord path.

A device for holding onto a rope to form a loop that can be tighten about two objects. The device including a base portion having at least one hole for securing one end of the rope. A clamping portion slidably engages a plurality of posts enabling the clamping portion to slide between a clamp position and release position for securing a portion of the rope therebetween. A clamp/release mechanism provides a means to clamp and release the clamping portion onto from the posts. The clamp/release mechanism includes a plurality of levers to selectively engage a respective post to clamp the clamping portion onto the posts when in a clamp position and disengage the at least one post to release the clamping portion from the posts when in a release position.

A firearm cable fastening device having a top side portion, one or more than one edge portion perpendicular to the top side portion, one or more than one attachment means for attaching the firearm cable fastening device to a firearm rail system, and one or more than one cable pass through indent.

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 portio 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 cylindrer 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 prtopm of the male member.
