| 20090307879 | FASTENERS, COVER SYSTEMS, AND RELATED METHODS - Fasteners, cover systems, and related methods are provided. A fastener for fastening an item in place on an object can include a bottom member having a first cross-sectional shape and a top member having a second cross-sectional shape that is securable to the bottom member. The top member can be rotatable relative to the bottom member once the top member is secured to the bottom member. The fastener can also include a securement device for fastening the bottom member to an object. The fasteners can be part of a cover system that also includes a cover. The cover system can be used in conjunction with a window, such as a boat hatch. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110271495 | Bendable Belt Loop - A belt's overlapping belt end is held in place (e.g., prevented from sagging) by a bendable belt loop. The bendable belt loop includes an internal structure or element that provides rigidity to the bendable belt loop yet remains flexible enough for repeated removal and fitment. The bendable belt loop may include an extension to prevent lateral movement. Metal wires forming the internal structure may be covered with insulation or padding, and further covered by a membrane made of fabric, simulated leather, leather, or other material intended to match the belt. Decorative elements (e.g., gems) may be added to the removable belt loop. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110185542 | Device and Method for Adjusting Fabric - An apparatus used in adjusting a garment or a piece of fabric and a method for implementing the same. The apparatus includes a bottom piece of fabric attached to a top piece of fabric and a piece of elastic sized to fit between the top and bottom pieces of fabric. The top piece of fabric includes two openings, one toward each end, through which the elastic piece fits. The elastic piece includes a plurality apertures sized to be able to receive buttons, which buttons are attached to the top and bottom pieces of fabric and buttoned through a corresponding aperture in the elastic piece. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20100139054 | Receiver support and earmold for a hearing device as well as use of a thermoplast for manufacturing an earmold - The invention specifies a receiver support for snapping into an earmold with a spherical section and with a conical section, which is embodied on the end facing the earmold and which tapers towards the earmold. The earmold comprises an adapter element permanently arranged in the earmold, into which the receiver support is able to be detachably firmly inserted. The adapter element features a bead-shaped depression, with which the spherical section of the receiver support can form a positive fit, so that the receiver support is supported to allow tilting or deflection in the adapter element. The invention also specifies the use of a thermoplast with selected properties for the manufacturing of the adapter element. The advantage is the secure and durable snap-in connection between a receiver support and an earmold. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20090211066 | Securing Device - The invention provides a securing device for use in securing an object to a supporting surface, and/or for restraining an object relative to a supporting surface. The securing device includes a base ( | 08-27-2009 |
| 20120066874 | Fastener having a flexible base - Fasteners comprising male and female assemblies. At least one of the male or female assembly may comprise a flexible base that flexes to conform to a non-planar mounting surface. The flexible base is bonded to the stud and/or the socket using techniques that provide a high degree of strength to withstand repeated engagement and disengagement of the fastener. Moreover, in certain embodiments the bonding techniques eliminate the need for mechanical means (for example, threads) to secure the stud to the flexible base. Mechanical tests show that the male assembly according to certain embodiments has 62% more strength than known male assemblies. | 03-22-2012 |
