A releasable attachment assembly for releasably attaching a first item to a second item is disclosed. The assembly may be a bicycle pedal and shoe clip assembly for releasably engaging a cyclist's shoe to a pedal of a bicycle. The bicycle pedal and shoe clip assembly may comprise a shoe clip and a pedal. The shoe clip may comprise a shoe plate adapted to attach to a bottom surface of a shoe, a shoe bracket spaced from the shoe plate, and a shoe post disposed between the shoe bracket and the shoe plate. The pedal may comprise a pedal body having an integral guide slot, the guide slot adapted to receive the shoe post, and opposing grasps disposed within the guide slot. The opposing grasps may be movable between an open and a closed position to releasably secure the shoe post within the guide slot.

A utensil attachment. The utensil attachment includes a base having an upper side and a lower side. A housing is affixed to the upper side of the base, and a fastener is affixed to the lower side of the base. A power supply is operably connected to a motion sensor and an audio playback mechanism, wherein the audio playback mechanism includes a speaker disposed on the housing. The motion sensor is configured to detect movement of the housing, and the audio playback mechanism is configured to activate and emit sound through the speaker if the motion sensor detects no motion for a predetermined amount of time. The device can be secured to a child's eating utensil, whereby the sounds emitted by the speaker provide encouragement the child to eat their food.

Hydraulic supply systems and cranes incorporating the same are disclosed. Hydraulic supply systems may include an auxiliary hydraulic circuit that includes a pump, a power source, and a plurality of plumbing elements. The hydraulic supply systems may further include a control system that controls operation of at least a portion of the plurality of plumbing elements and a control panel that is positioned remotely from the control system and is in communication with the control system, where the control panel provides selective input to the control system.

A preloadable trigger-release-clip that may be ceiling triggered for lighting module installation is described, including systems and methods of use. The trigger-release-clip may include a base-plate, a trigger, a clip, and a stop. The base-plate may be a structural member that attaches to a lighting module. The trigger may be in communication with the base-plate. The clip, with a torsion-spring, may be in communication with the base-plate. The stop may be in communication with the trigger. In a pre-loaded configuration, the stop may be in an up position that prevents the clip from actuating. In a final configuration, the stop has been retracted into a down position by the trigger being depressed by a bottom of a ceiling that may allow the clip to actuate, such that a terminal end of the clip pivots to grab a top of the ceiling securing the lighting module to the ceiling.

A device and method for holding or securing an article against a surface using a suction cup connected to a bi-stable snap action ribbon spring. The device and method utilize the bi-stable characteristics of a snap action ribbon spring together with the adhesion characteristics of a suction cup to create a self-latching, spring-loaded mechanism for securing an article to a surface. The device and method for holding or securing an article against a surface using a suction cup connected to a bi-stable snap action ribbon spring can be used to greatly simplify the ease in draining liquid from a hollow container in an effortless manner by the use of gravity by allowing the liquid within the hollow container to accumulate or settle towards the vicinity approximate to the opening where the liquid is dispensed from.

A clip-clamp with top lock device for preferably closing and sealing bags and the like. The clip-clamp with top lock device includes a closure assembly including a pair of lever members spatially arranged and facing one another and also including an interconnector extending between the lever members, and further including at least one biased member connected to the lever members for memory retentiveness and to bias the lever members about and seal an opening of a container such as a bag.

An example connector assembly includes a guide shielding cage with a cage body and an upper heat sink bracket. The cage body includes upper window. A lower wall of the upper heat sink bracket is formed with a window corresponding to the upper window. The connector assembly also includes an upper heat sink module including a heat dissipating member. The heat dissipating member is capable of moving between a releasing position which is higher and an acting position which is lower relative to the upper insertion space. The cage body further includes fixing pieces positioned at two sides of the top wall and extend upwardly. The lower wall of the upper heat sink bracket engages with the fixing pieces of the cage body, and the upper heat sink bracket further comprises a latching piece which extends from the lower wall and latches into the top wall of the cage body.

A fastener structure includes a fastening element and a body portion. The fastening element includes an operation portion and a fastening portion. The body portion is coupled to the fastening element by a coupling portion. The body portion is fastened to a first object and is fastened to or unfastened from a second object by the fastening element to couple together and separate the first and second objects repeatedly and rapidly.
