According to various embodiments, a handle, shaft and fastener are configured to provide a rotational interface. With the assistance of a cam bushing, threading between the shaft and the fastener or other components, rotation of the handle causes axial movement of the shaft or fastener and compression of a grommet located about the shaft or fastener. Compression of the grommet results in radial expansion. In this way, the accessory retaining device is adapted to secure an accessory to a mounting aperture located on a vehicle or other device when the handle is in a closed position. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-27-2011 |
20140021689 | SYSTEM FOR GLIDING ON SNOW WITH IMPROVED MOBILITY - Systems, apparatus and methods for gliding on a surface with improved mobility are described. According to various embodiments, boards are provided which are configured to overlap. This innovative overlapping ability helps allow for versatile stance configuration and ensures that collision between the boards occurs between a base and an edge. This type of collision will generally result in a sliding action, allowing one board to ride up onto the top of the edge of the other board. This type of interaction reduces damage to the boards and improves riding experience. Boards with equal height nose and tail shovels are more likely to collide edge-to-edge in a disruptive manner. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 01-23-2014 |

20080311315 | ANIMATED ARTIFICIAL FLOWER - A device which simulates natural flowering actions, including growth and efflorescence, is actuated by partial immersion of a stem into a liquid. In one embodiment, a piston slidably disposed within the stem is driven upwardly by the bias force of a resilient spring while an agent which impedes the piston motion dissolves in the liquid. In another embodiment, the piston is pushed upwardly by an expansive force of a liquid-absorbing material. An inner stem, operably connected to the piston, is slidably disposed within the stem and projects upwardly therefrom. A simulated corolla is attached to the inner stem and gradually opens and rotates during an ascent thereof. The petals of the corolla, in one embodiment, open with individual variations in starting time, rate and extent. As the corolla opens, a surprise object, gradually ascending on a presentation platform, is revealed. | 12-18-2008 |
20080311316 | ANIMATED ARTIFICIAL FLOWER - A device which simulates natural flowering actions, including growth and efflorescence, is actuated by partial immersion of a stem into a liquid. An aperture through the stem base admits the liquid into the stem. A piston slidably disposed within the stem is driven downwardly by the bias force of a resilient spring while an agent which impedes the piston motion dissolves in the liquid. Growth is simulated by a sleeve outside the stem which descends in relation thereto to push the flower upwardly. A simulated corolla is attached to the stem and gradually rotates and opens during the ascent thereof. A cam controls the pivotal position of lifters which open and close the corolla. The petals of the corolla vibrate before opening and open with variations in starting time. As the corolla opens, a surprise gift, gradually ascending on a presentation platform, is revealed. The device may be reused. | 12-18-2008 |
20120121826 | ANIMATED ARTIFICIAL FLOWER - An artificial flower device gradually opens a simulated corolla and gradually upwardly extends a surprise gift following an actuation.
