A zipper includes a tape body including two zipper tapes each having an inner edge with a row of teeth. A stop includes a first end connected to distal ends of the rows of teeth and receives two first conductive plates. An end of one of the two first conductive plates is electrically connected to an electrode of at least one light-emitting element. A power connecting portion is electrically connected to another of the two first conductive plates and another electrode of the at least one light-emitting element. A slider is slidably disposed on the rows of teeth for engaging or disengaging the rows of teeth. The slider includes a second conductive plate configured to simultaneously contact with the two first conductive plates, causing electrical conduction to activate the at least one light-emitting element to emit light. A container with the zipper is also provided.

A fastening system for a zipper is disclosed which includes locking or interlocking first and second zipper pull tabs. A first zipper pull tab comprises a first base, a hook extending from the first base, and a movable gate coupled to the first base. A second zipper pull tab comprises a second base, a cover coupled to the second base, and a post extending between the second base and the cover. For interlocking, the movable gate and hook are further coupled around the post to provide the interlocking configuration of the first and second zipper pull tabs. The first zipper pull tab may be utilized separately from the second zipper pull tab, such as to lock to a coupling ring or another component of a carrying bag.

An improved mount for receiving a padlock to securely enclose a case includes a pair of aligned holes and aligned indentations formed in the lid and the container body. The padlock mount includes a saddle formed between one of the holes and indentations, with a peripheral sidewall to restrict rotational movement of a padlock shackle. A padlock receptacle receives the padlock body in a recessed area to protect it against damage and restrict movement.

A piece of luggage with a body of the piece of luggage and a carrying strap, which carrying strap has a snap-in mechanism at at least one end and the body of the piece of luggage comprises at least one receiving mechanism, wherein the snap-in mechanism is adapted to be inserted into the receiving mechanism and to be releasably connected with the same, it is provided that the snap-in mechanism comprises a base element and two snap-in arms, wherein the snap-in arms are rigid and the base element comprises a spring mechanism which the two snap-in arms are adjustable relative to each other.

An organizational aid suitable for use with a tablet or other personal electronic device having at least one pocket, at least two spaced-apart, non-slip surface portions attached to a back surface of the organizational aid, a first array of magnets or ferrous metal elements disposed between the at least one pocket and a backing sheet of the organizational aid to releasably hold the organizational aid by magnetic attraction to an outwardly facing surface of an article such as a shell, skin, case or sleeve comprising a second array of magnets or ferrous metal elements, the shell, skin, case or sleeve also being configured to receive and releasably support the electronic device.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure also prevents any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

A two-piece mobile device holder having a case assembly and a mounting assembly is disclosed. The case assembly is configured to receive and secure a mobile device such as a smart phone. The mounting assembly is configured to be detachably coupled to other objects. Sets of permanent magnets are arranged in a circular pattern in the case assembly and the mounting assembly. The magnets in both the first and second set of magnets are arranged with alternating magnetic polarity. As the case assembly is placed on top of the mounting assembly, the magnets in the mounting assembly will attract magnets with opposite polarities in the case assembly. A user may detach the case assembly from the mounting assembly by rotating the case assembly such that the magnets in the case assembly are now adjacent to magnets in the mounting assembly of the same polarity.

A travel bag having a front panel connected to a rear panel to define an interior space therebetween with a top opening. A front flap is secured to the rear panel near the top opening by a flexible connection for pivotal movement relative thereto. The front flap has an inner face and an outer face defining an internal pocket therebetween, with the inner face having an opening into the internal pocket. The front flap is movable to a closed position over the front panel to close the travel bag. The front flap is movable to an open position over the rear panel to open the travel bag and expose the inner face of the front flap and the opening into the internal pocket.

A hard luggage case includes: a hard case body including: a top portion, a bottom portion, a left lateral portion, a right lateral portion, a connecting portion and a back portion; a cover pivoted to an edge of the opening of the case body by a connecting assembly; and plural wheels disposed at the connecting ends of the case body. The top portion and the bottom portion are connected to the left lateral portion, the right lateral portion and the back portion, the connecting portion is connected to the left lateral portion, the right lateral portion and the bottom portion, the connecting portion is lower than the back portion, so as to form an opening above the connecting portion. The case body includes an inner space which communicates with the opening, and the bottom portion is an independent unitary structure and includes a plurality of connecting ends.

A secure personal wearable carrier for valuable items is disclosed. The wearable carrier includes a secure compartment for valuable item storage to be worn by users during their common activities, including physical exercises.
