The plumbing safety device comprises a shoulder strap configured to be worn over one or more shoulders of an operator, a mounting strap removably connected to the shoulder strap, and a means for securing a plumbing tool. The plumbing safety method comprises the steps of: providing a plumbing safety device comprising a shoulder strap configured to be worn over one or more shoulders of an operator and having a first and second strap connecting means, a strap adjustment means, a mounting strap removably connected to the shoulder strap, and a means for securing a plumbing tool; adjusting the strap adjustment means to a desirable strap length; securing the means for securing the plumbing tool to the plumbing tool; and placing the shoulder strap on the one or more shoulders of the operator.

A holster for attaching an item to a garment includes a baseplate having a central portion and a peripheral portion. The baseplate is made of a rigid or semi-rigid material. The central portion of the baseplate includes a first opening that is sized and shaped to accommodate a belt, strap, or MOLLE webbing. The holster additionally includes a plurality of notches in the peripheral portion of the baseplate. The plurality of notches are sized and shaped to accommodate a tethering member passing therethrough. The holster may be attached to the garment by engagement between the opening in the baseplate and the garment. The item to be carried in the holster is strapped to the holster with the tethering member. The holster may be provided as part of a kit that includes a top plate and the tethering member.

A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

A tool holder with a J-shaped body. A gate includes an arm that is pivotally attached to a finger at the top of the body. The gate pivots between a closed position where the gate spans the opening between the two free ends of the body, an inside position where the gate is pivoted into the inside the body, and an outside position where gate is pivoted to outside the body. A biasing mechanism biases the gate to the closed position. An optional gate lock prevents the gate from opening when engaged. A barrel either rotates or slides, depending in the configuration, on the arm between an unlocked position where the gate can move between the inside, closed, and outside positions, and a locked position where the gate is retained in the closed position. An attachment secures the tool holder to flat webbing.

A wheeled carrier including a rigid base having a bottom side, opposing front and rear sides extending upward from the bottom side, and opposing first and second lateral sides extending upward from the bottom side, a body extending upward from the base defining an interior between the base and an apex of the body, a pair of wheels connected to the base, the pair of wheels configured to rotate about an axis proximate to the rear side of the base, a telescoping handle assembly including two telescoping legs, each having a proximal end attached to the base and a distal end, the telescoping handle assembly including a handle connecting the distal ends of the two telescoping legs and extending over the apex of the body, and a pair of backpack straps attached to the body.

A tether clip comprises first and second clip portions and a connector. The first clip portion has a first intermediate portion interconnecting a first clamping end and a first connector end, and the second clip portion has a second intermediate portion interconnecting a second clamping end and a second connector end. The first and second intermediate portions are pivotally connected. The connector is positioned between the first and second connector ends and is configured and arranged to connect to a tether. When a force is exerted upon the connector, the connector moves relative to the first and second clip portions, and when the connector moves in a direction toward distal ends of the first and second connector ends, the first and second connector ends move apart and the first and second clamping ends move toward each other to increase a clamping force by the first and second clamping ends.

A tethering system for a power tool and battery pack includes a first tethering attachment assembly configured to be attachable to a power tool, and a second tethering attachment assembly configured to be attachable to a battery pack, which is detachably couplable to a battery pack receptacle on the power tool. A first flexible connector has a first end configured to be attachable to the first tethering attachment assembly and a second end configured to be attachable to a stationary object. A second elongated flexible connector has a first end configured to be attachable to the second tethering attachment assembly and a second end configured to be attachable to the first tethering attachment assembly. If the power tool falls and the battery pack becomes detached from the power tool, the first tethering attachment assembly and first flexible connector prevent the power tool from falling more than a first distance from the stationary object, and the second tethering attachment assembly and the second flexible connector prevent the battery pack from falling more than a second distance from the power tool.

A case includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, a first auxiliary structure, and a second auxiliary structure. The second housing portion is movably coupled to the first housing portion and cooperates with the first housing portion to define a storage space. The first auxiliary structure is disposed on one of the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The second auxiliary structure is disposed on one of the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The first auxiliary structure is a foot disposed on and extending from an exterior surface of the first housing portion. The foot is configured to abut a workpiece to orient the workpiece in at least one preset angle relative to the first housing portion. The second auxiliary structure is a recess.
