A water-soluble film, comprising a first water-soluble film, wherein the first water soluble film disintegrates in water within less than about 24 hours and dissolves in water within less than about 48 hours as measured by the MSTM-205 at 20° C. The disclosure provides a water-soluble film comprising a first water-soluble film that disintegrates in water within less than 24 hours and dissolves in water within less than 48 hours as measured by MSTM-205 at 20° C. The first water-soluble film optionally may be further characterized in that it does not disintegrate in water for at least about 1 hour and does not dissolve in water for at least about 1 hour as measured by MSTM-205 at 20° C. The disclosure further provides a water-soluble film comprising a first water-soluble film characterized in that the degradation and/or dissolution of the first water-soluble film is adapted to be activated by consumer handling.

A hand tool with a lanyard attachment point has a hand tool body and a working side extending along a portion of the hand tool body and has a straight edge. A pin receiving recess in the hand tool body is parallel to and spaced from the straight edge. A channel extends into the working side transverse to the straight edge and intersects the pin receiving recess. A lanyard loop has an elongated, rigid loop body with a lanyard attaching loop end and a tool attaching end opposite the lanyard attaching loop end. The tool attaching end has a through opening transverse to the loop body where the tool attaching end is disposed in the first channel with the through opening aligned with the pin receiving recess. An anchor pin in the pin receiving recess retains the lanyard loop by extending through the through opening of the tool attaching end.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for fabricating an electronic device with an integrated railing system that detachably couples mounting hardware to the electronic device. By selectively detaching the mounting hardware, the electronic device may be made more compact and portable. In some embodiments, the railing system is fabricated substantially contemporaneous to fabricating the electronic device, such as by extrusion of the railing and the electronic device together. This fabrication approach may reduce the overall cost and complexity of manufacturing the railing system.

A rapidly deployable, pressure sealed, cough and sneeze aerosol, containment apparatus to substantially eradicate the cold, the flu, and Covid-19.

The present disclosure provides an attachment assembly for a device. The attachment assembly comprises a first attachment member and a second attachment member. The first attachment member is slidable along a first axis of the device at a first location. The second attachment member is at a second location. The first attachment member and the second attachment member are configured to be coupled to a strap. A tension in the strap is configurable based on a sliding movement of the first attachment member.

A composite structure and article of manufacture for a detachable carrier for beach badge or pool tag are disclosed. In various embodiments, a composite structure having a clip, a strap and a body arranged as a carrier for a metal pin badge that can be easily attached and detached in its entirety is disclosed. The composite structure further comprises front and back sides and an inner layer. At the top of the composite structure, the strap forms a larger loop that is used to attach the composite structure to a clip or device. At the far end of the composite structure, the beach badge is mounted onto the composite structure by inserting the metal pin of the badge through one of the insertion point created by one or more delimiters.

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 tool system including a handle assembly, a swiveling butt end assembly, a ring assembly, and a tether is disclosed. When using tools at elevated heights there is often accidents involved in which tools drop and possibly injure pedestrians down below. The tool system prevents such events from occurring. The handle assembly importantly includes a swiveling butt end assembly with a ring assembly attached. The ring assembly receives the tether which is attached to a user and to a tool. The tether keeps the tools within reach of the use if there is an accidental dropping. With the swiveling butt end assembly the tether does not tangle or break. The swiveling butt end assembly allows for the handle to freely rotate while tied to the tether. This prohibits tension on the tether to prevent damage to the tether. Also, eliminating the chance of dropping the tool from an elevated height.

A retention device for portable audio, video, and power adapters commonly used with portable electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones) includes a shell that is configured to receive a removable insert formed from a resiliently deformable material, which retains and protects an adapter for a portable electronic device. The removable insert may be interchangeable with a plurality of inserts, each of which comprises a cutout region configured to accommodate and retain a corresponding adapter.

A connector assembly for a mobile device includes a bottom plate adapted to be operably coupled with a mobile device and a towel bar being operably coupled with the bottom plate. The towel bar has a quadrilateral cross section that defines at least a first engaging surface and a second engaging surface. The towel bar is adapted to engage an accessory device at at least one of the first engaging surface or the second engaging surface to couple the accessory device with the mobile device.
