A gripping clip, preferably formed of plastic material, the clip for receiving edge portions of netting or tarp, with a hinged interlock between two mating halves of the clip to receive and grip the netting or tarp. More specifically, the clips are formed of two connected part, joined together by a hinge and by interlocking features. The clip includes a top connected to a base with a hinge, the base has a set of posts extending from the base and the top has a set of post-holes. The top interlocks to the base, with each post of the base received into a post-hole. The netting seats on the clip base, with each post extending through the netting, and the netting retained between the top and base of the clip. The clip also includes a hole to receive a snap-link for attachment to a support.

A connector for connecting a first component to a locking pin of a second component having a head is disclosed. The connector has a base body with a receiving space for receiving the head. A retaining spring is held by the base body is provided, which has a relative position, referred to as the holding position, relative to the base body and which has a protrusion in this holding position protruding into the receiving space. The protrusion in the holding position can be moved in a release direction and projects less far into the receiving space after moving from the holding position in the release direction than in the holding position. Moving the protrusion from the holding position in the releasing direction tensions the retaining spring. When the retaining spring is in the holding position, the base body can be moved relative to the retaining spring along a locking direction.

A fitness assembly for performing various exercises that is securably mountable to a mounting surface using one or more vacuum devices. In one embodiment, a vacuum-mounted fitness assembly comprises a base element and at least one vacuum device removably coupled to the base element. In one embodiment, the base element has an elongated shape and is removably coupled to two vacuum devices. In another embodiment, the base element has a circular or non-elongated shape and is removably coupled to one vacuum device. The base element includes a plurality of apertures and/or slits to which one or more bands and/or straps may be attached. In one embodiment, the fitness assembly also includes one or more accessories that enable the fitness assembly to be used to perform exercises such as boxing, squats, rowing, bicep curls, and others.

In this disclosure a connection arrangement for a trampoline is set out, the arrangement including a mat and a frame. The connection arrangement includes a cord and a security piece, which includes a receiving part and a cord holding part. The cord holding part is configured to receive both ends of the cord and thus forming a loop that includes the cord and the cord holding part. The receiving part receives the cord holding part and one end of the loop through an opening. The loop is configured to wrap around some horizontal part of the frame of the trampoline when the connection arrangement is fitted onto the frame.

Embodiments are directed to a helmet. The helmet preferably includes a shell, a suspension, and a connector. The suspension preferably includes a crown strap. The connector preferably couples to the shell and the crown strap. The connector preferably has a shock absorber operatively disposed between the shell and the crown strap to absorb at least a portion of a force of impact delivered to the shell.

The invention relates to a soft attachment for anchoring on a surface including a wall, deck of a boat or spar of a boat and a method of connecting the soft attachment to a surface. The soft attachment comprises: a hollow shank having a first end port, a second end port, an inner surface and a threaded outer surface, a flange located adjacent the first end port of the shank, and at least one flexible elongate member having a first portion located adjacent the inner surface of the hollow shank, and a second portion projecting from said first end port for use as an anchoring point for attachment of rigging.

A mounting device includes a panel portion, and a fastener receiving structure provided within a perimeter of the panel portion. The fastener receiving structure can include an aperture to receive an insertive fastener, and a flexure mechanism to enable at least a portion of the fastener receiving structure that includes the aperture to flex with insertion of the fastener in the aperture that attaches the panel portion against an underlying surface.

Shower curtain clips are disclosed that hold shower curtains against bath walls to reduce drafts and escape of water spray during use. The shower curtain clips include a base panel that can be mounted on a bath wall, and a pivoting retaining panel that can be opened to receive a shower curtain and closed to secure the shower curtain in place.

A cover fastener includes a resilient fastener body. The fastener body has a base with a front leg and a back leg. A fastener arm is connected to the base. The fastener arm has a front end with a finger, a back lever end and a fulcrum element having a pivot between the front end and the back lever end. The fulcrum element connects the fastener arm to the base at the pivot so that the fastener arm pivots on the fulcrum element relative to the base at the pivot. A plurality of fasteners is secured to a cover by sewing to provide a cover and system for fastening a cover.

A holder for flexible materials which incorporate two arms connected by an elbow. Within the elbow is a tensioning mechanism which, when engaged, tends to press the arm apart. When the tension is released, the holder collapses into an easily stored mechanism. With the arms being variable in length, the range of material dimensions is greatly enhanced. A connector positioned at the elbow permits the holder to be secured to a base and arranged in gangs to address the particular need at the time.
