An assembling structure for timely and securely locking and releasing a rope includes a housing including two integral side walls for defining a space to allow a rope to pass through; a contact surface on an inner surface of the housing; a pivotal cam including an occlusion section and an engagement surface adapted to pivot about the contact surface from a first position to a second position and vice versa; a torsion spring on one pivot of the cam and having one end fastened in the cam and the other end passing through a limit member of the cam; and a pivotal trigger adapted to pivot about the housing from a third position to a fourth position and vice versa, the trigger including an occlusion member at one end in gear engagement with the occlusion section and a lever at the other end and extending out of the housing.

The present disclosure relates to a means for vertically suspending a single lighting element or a plurality of lighting elements within a rail system using one or a plurality of wedge pin suspension systems that employ a wedge pin securing device and a receptive collar assembly to grip and secure in place one or a plurality of electrical cables having at least two insulated conductive electrical leads to provide both vertical support and electrical power to the suspended lighting elements. The present disclosure further relates to a manually adjustable and reservable wedge pin securing device configured for easy manipulation, yet providing a secure vertical suspension means using a lighting system's own electrical cable for support based on combined frictional and gravitational forces.

A respiratory mask system is provided comprising a respiratory mask and a head engaging portion, wherein the head engaging portion is configured to couple to the respiratory mask to engage a wearer's head via a disengageable mechanism. The dis-engageable mechanism may comprise a linking member attached to the head engaging portion, a disengagement member attached to the respiratory mask and configured to receive the linking member, wherein the disengagement member is configured to be moveable between a first position and a second position, a control configured to allow a wearer of the mask to move the disengagement member towards the first position and one or more surfaces defined by the disengagement member and configured to exert a frictional force on the linking member.

A device for holding a cord includes a first cord holding area shaped to receive a cord. The device further includes a hook portion interconnected with the first cord holding area, the hook portion curving from a first end of the first cord holding area, around a side of the first cord holding area to a second end of the first cord holding area, opposite the first end.

An apparatus for timely and securely locking and releasing a rope includes a housing having an interior space and a communication portion for entering a rope into the housing. The housing includes an abutment portion fixed into the housing, a rotatable cam configured to be corresponsive to the abutment portion and pivotally connected to an inner side of one of the side panels, an elastic member installed between the side panel and the cam, and a rotatable start portion having an engagement surface and a first engagement portion. The rotatable start portion is configured to be corresponsive to an end of the cam and pivotally connected to an end of an inner side of one of the side panels, and an end of the start portion has a second engagement portion corresponding to the first engagement portion.
