Shower curtain clips that hold shower curtains against bath walls to reduce drafts and escape of water spray during use. The shower curtain clips include a base panel that can be mounted on a bath wall, and a pivoting retaining panel that can be opened to receive a shower curtain and closed to secure the shower curtain in place.

A mounting device includes a panel portion, and a fastener receiving structure provided within a perimeter of the panel portion. The fastener receiving structure can include a flexure mechanism to enable at least a portion of the fastener receiving structure to flex with insertion of a fastener into the flexure mechanism that attaches the panel portion against an underlying surface.

A connector is characterized by comprising a T-shaped main body, three connecting components and two connecting tubes, wherein the connecting components are arranged on one surface of the main body and located at three endpoints of the T-shaped main body. Each connecting component comprises a concave groove body and a connecting column which is arranged in a cavity of the concave groove body, wherein a gap exists between the connecting column and the inner wall of the concave groove body. The two connecting tubes are arranged between two connecting components at the bottom of the T-shaped main body side by side. Each connecting tube penetrates through the main body. Connecting holes are formed in the other surface of the main body.

A grill cover is configured to be utilized with a grill having a metallic component, the grill cover includes a cover body, a magnetic fastener, and a secondary fastener. The cover body presents an outer edge disposed along a bottom side and a cover void therein configured to receive the grill therein. The magnetic fastener and the secondary fastener are each secured to the cover body. The magnetic fastener is configured to provide a magnetic force to keep the magnetic fastener selectively secured to the metallic component of the grill so as to keep the cover body in place around the grill therein. The secondary fastener is configured to reduce a cross-sectional area of the cover void so as to prevent the grill cover from being removed from the grill while the secondary fastener is emplaced.

An insulated hook for use with a rubber blanket having a plurality of apertures about its perimeter, the hook having a body formed with a pair of bends between a shank and a conical tip formed at each of a proximal end and a distal end of the hook body. Each conical tip has a flaring base with a width diameter greater than a width diameter of the hook body. The diameter of the hook body and conical tip are sized and shaped to be removably received by the plurality of apertures of the blanket. The hook body is made of durable material such as nylon 6.6 capable of withstanding high temperatures and is non-electrically conductive. A method of use for the hook with an optional strap is included.

A number of magnetically assisted latch mechanisms are presented, where the latching and unlatching action is done with reduced user effort, therefore promoting speed and efficiency without sacrificing the strength of the bond of the connected components. The latching mechanisms are designed to secure panels or other similar small and large mostly flat components. The latching method is done by a rotating component that takes all the separating load once rotated into the locked position. The rotatable lock, or hammer, is also locked itself into position to prevent accidental movement by the hammer.

A weight system for a landfill tarpaulin. A pair of parallel chains are retained within a pair of sleeves in the tarp. A plurality of parallel wire lines traverse the tarpaulin. A plurality of elongated coupler bodies are provided with each coupler body having a first end terminating in an eyelet, a second, opposed end terminating in a hollow recess, and an attached threaded protrusion to the underside of the body. A chain fastener passes through one eyelet, passes through one of the links of the chain, and passes through the sleeve of the tarp. A tarp fastener passes through a washer, passes through the tarp, passes through an optional washer, and is threadably connected to the elongated coupler body. Each end of the wire lines is received and held in place by the hollow recess.

In this disclosure a connection arrangement for a trampoline is set out, the arrangement including a mat and a frame. The connection arrangement includes a cord and a security piece, which includes a receiving part and a cord holding part. The cord holding part is configured to receive both ends of the cord and thus forming a loop that includes the cord and the cord holding part. The receiving part receives the cord holding part and one end of the loop through an opening. The loop is configured to wrap around some horizontal part of the frame of the trampoline when the connection arrangement is fitted onto the frame.

A board apparatus is presented. The board apparatus includes an elongate body having an upper groove and a back portion lip, a removable elongate member configured for placement within the upper groove, and a screen. The screen includes a lower end configured to fit in the upper groove and below the back portion lip. The apparatus is useful for providing easy installation and removal of windows and screens.

The present invention relates to a wind brace band connector comprising at least a first and a second one-piece connector element for connecting at least one perforated band defining a longitudinal band axis to a connection bracket attached to a building, or for connecting at least two perforated bands with each other. The connector is easy to connect to a perforated band, i.e. a wind brace strap using no or just a simple tool.
