A combination power hand tool and tethering assembly comprises a power hand tool selected from the group consisting of a grinder, a polisher, a cut-off tool, and a drill. The hand tool has a gear housing with a fastener bore configured and arranged to receive a fastener. The tethering assembly comprises a connector having a fastener opening and a tether configured and arranged to be connected to the connector. The fastener extends through the fastener opening and into the fastener bore thereby connecting the connector and the power hand tool. The tether is configured and arranged to be selectively coupled to one of a worker and an anchor object thereby selectively interconnecting the connector and the one of the worker and the anchor object.

A personal emergency notification system which is incorporated into a badge holder or similar item. This allows for a user to have an emergency notification system attached to a badge, keycard, or other similar access pass that a user will otherwise need to have on their person at work or in another specific environment but otherwise is not necessary. Further, the system can have various automatic features when an emergency is detected in the work area, the system may also be able to recognize when the user is on site, near the site (e.g. in a mustering area or rally point), or offsite and safe. These automatic features may also be used during an evacuation drill to obtain valuable data on area evacuation.

An airplane tray cover multi-compartment holder system and method for holding and transporting a plurality of airplane tray covers. The system and method generally includes a case with a plurality of individual compartments for holding a tray cover isolated from other compartments. Individual compartments are defined by an arrangement of exterior and interior panels and surfaces. Each compartment has a corresponding door that is pivotable between open and closed positions. Each door has a window through which tray covers can be viewed without opening the door. A window may include a movable spring-biased latch for automatically latching the door to a stationary latch on the case as the door closes. The tray covers and compartments may have indicia that uniquely identify them. A tether with magnetic elements on its ends may be selectively attached to the case by joining the magnetic elements.

A cell phone carrying device can be used alone or with a strap or other carrying mechanism to provide a secure attachment to one's person. A knob is affixed to the back of the cell phone by a strong adhesive, a sliding track, or other attachment mechanism. The knob may be used with or without the strap connection. Additional complementary docking attachments allow for use in home, car, or office. The carrying device may incorporate GPS, location, or alarm features. In some embodiments, a fob and/or the electronic components of the knob base may be paired with software applications to allow the user to customize ring tones, fob displays, or other attributes.

Embodiments of a wireless audio earpiece holder and multi-function wearable electronic device provide for one-handed operation. The wearable electronic apparatus is attached to an operator as a pendant to a necklace, garment or both. The apparatus provides quick, safe, and convenient one-handed use to execute a variety of tasks and functions in user-safety oriented and multitasking environments. The apparatus interfaces between a wireless audio earpiece and a smartphone or wireless computing and communication device, providing one handed command capability to obviate the need to otherwise access and manipulate a smartphone or similar device.

A wearable electronic device includes a watch body including a touch-sensitive display configured to receive a first input and a first wireless circuit configured to receive a wireless input signal. The wearable electronic device further includes a band coupled to the watch body and configured to attach the watch body to a user and a wireless module coupled to the band and including an input device configured to receive a second input and a second wireless circuit configured to transmit the wireless input signal to the first wireless circuit in response to receiving the second input.

Holstering retractor devices or systems for securing a device or instrument when not in use, such that the instrument does not have to be held or slid into a pocket. The systems are coupled with a retracting device, integrated into the holster, such that if said instrument or device pops out of holster, or is dropped while in use, it is not lost or damaged. The present invention is also directed to systems utilizing the holster retractors, such as vest system having the holster retractor mounted to the vests.

A lanyard device includes a first attachment loop, a central portion, and a second attachment loop. Each of the first attachment loop and the second attachment loop is coupled to the central portion. The first attachment loop has a fixed diameter. The second attachment loop has an adjustable diameter. In an embodiment, the second attachment loop terminates at an adjustment feature, which is coupled to the central portion. For example, the adjustment feature may be a Prusik knot.

A hand cover apparatus used to protect a user and others from microorganisms where a hand cover can be connected and mounted to the user's garments, personal effects, or arm. When connected and mounted, the hand cover can be oriented in such a way as to allow rapid, one-handed insertion. As the user approaches a door or object, the user inserts his or her hand into the hand cover and reaches for the door handle to open the door or reaches for an object to manipulate it. This apparatus provides a physical barrier between a user's hand and a handle or object, and its use prevents the spread of microorganisms.
