A package wrap for decoratively covering a container having side walls defining an interior space for carrying a product therein, includes a flexible thin sheet of polymeric material adapted to be shrink-wrapped onto the exterior of the container. An illuminating or a sound producing device is positioned between the flexible thin sheet of polymeric material and the exterior of the container so that when the flexible sheet of polymeric material is shrink-wrapped onto the container, the illuminating device or the sound device will be held securely in place. The illuminating device is adapted to be illuminated upon activation by a pressure, motion, or acoustically sensitive switch. The sound device is adapted to produce an audible signal upon activation by a pressure or motion sensitive switch. When the illuminating device is activated, illumination therefrom will be visible through the flexible thin sheet of polymeric material to enhance and highlight a printed pattern on the exterior of the package wrap.

An improved structure of a bicycle for children is disclosed. The bicycle comprises a front and a rear frame and a flexural mechanism is used to connect the front and the rear frame such that the tricycle can be folded. The upper section of the front frame is extended with a foldable handle and the front frame is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to a control shaft disposed at the rear frame by means of a cable such that the tricycle can be control the front wheel to move left or right by controlling the left and right movement of the control shaft.

The invention relates to a battery holder which is configured to be inserted into the tube opening in the seat tube of the frame of an electric bicycle and to be pulled out. The bicycle saddle is connected to the battery holder via a saddle pillar.

An adjustable attachment device includes a clamping member for securely clamping a tubular member, a sleeve securely mounted to the clamping member, a ball received in the sleeve, a connecting seat having a portion securely coupled to the ball to move therewith, and a resilient member. The sleeve includes a longitudinal through-hole. Further, the sleeve includes a cutout passing through an upper end of the longitudinal through-hole. The resilient member biases the ball to press against a spherical upper wall section of the sleeve, thereby retaining the connecting seat in place. The connecting seat is pressable to compress the resilient member and cause the ball to disengage from the spherical upper wall section of the sleeve, allowing the connecting seat to move along the cutout of the sleeve and allowing the connecting seat to turn to a desired orientation relative to the tubular member.

A quick-release mounting system for a motorcycle saddlebag and a method for retrofitting a motorcycle with the system. The system includes two or more couplings with which one can retrofit a motorcycle by replacing each bolt of the original mounting system with one of the couplings. Each coupling includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion that can be removably coupled and uncoupled with one another in a quick-release manner.

An apparatus attaches a first object to a second object in a manner that the first object can be located in a desired orientation with respect to the second object. The apparatus includes an engaging member detachably mounted to the second object, e.g., a bicycle handlebar. The apparatus further includes a fixing member to which the first object, e.g., a headlamp of a bicycle or cellular phone bag is attached. The headlamp or cellular phone bag can be mounted to the engaging member in a desired orientation. The engaging member remains on the handlebar when reattaching the headlamp or cellular phone bag to the engaging member.

A drink container holding apparatus includes an object attachment device (40) including a holder engagement element (5), and a drink container holder (31) including attachment device engagement member (30) to engage with the holder engagement element (5). The holder engagement element (5) and the attachment device engagement member (30) allow relative angular movement between the object attachment device (40) and the holder (31) in a selected plane. The holder (31) and the object attachment device (40) can be engaged or disengaged by orientating the holder engagement element (5) and the attachment device engagement member (30) in a pre-determined relative angular disposition in the selected plane, and moving the attachment device engagement member (30) and holder engagement element (5) relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the selected plane.

A bicycle light assembly is electrically connected to a dynamo. The bicycle light assembly has a lamp housing mountable to a portion of the bicycle. An input portion is disposed on the lamp housing and electrically connected to the dynamo for inputting a dynamo output signal and for outputting an input signal. A regulator circuit is electrically connected to the input portion for regulating the input signal to a regulated signal. A light source is electrically connected to the regulator circuit for lighting the periphery and an output portion being disposed on the lamp housing and electrically connected to the regulator circuit for outputting the regulated signal. The output portion has at least one auxiliary electrical output connector for outputting the regulated signal to at least one auxiliary electrical device electrically connected to the at least one auxiliary electrical output connector.

A washable container made from soft flexible material, including open-weave fabric, with a top opening and optionally removable straps with fasteners that allow attachment to cribs and other baby-holding devices, such as portable play yards, swings, highchairs, and strollers. The top opening is configured for insertion of a large adult male hand, and the container height provides an interior volume sufficient for storing approximately one dozen or so pacifiers, several teething devices, or other small toys that babies and small children often drool on, drop on the ground, cover with food, and/or otherwise need cleaning prior to being returned to them. Thus, unsanitary pacifiers, toys, and teething devices can be placed in a disposable plastic bag, clothing pocket, diaper bag pocket, or other temporary storage place, with a clean pacifier, teething device, or other small toy being instantly substituted from the readily accessible and conveniently located present invention.

The invention provides a method and apparatus utilized to mount a motorcycle fender, as well as one or more components, directly to an upper rear portion of a motorcycle frame. The upper rear portion of the frame includes one or more rear frame rails, each having a plurality of holes defined therein. These holes are further used in securing the fender and the one or more components.

The field of the invention relates to bicycle systems, especially to bicycle systems adapted for use with smartphones, to smartphones configured for use with bicycle systems, and to methods and to computer software for use with such bicycle systems or smartphones, and to servers configured to communicate with such bicycle systems or smartphones. According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a bicycle system including a bicycle, the bicycle system including a processor integral to the bicycle, the bicycle system further including a battery integral to the bicycle, wherein the processor is powerable by the battery, the bicycle system including a smartphone holder configurable to receive a smartphone and to connect the smartphone to the processor, wherein in use the smartphone holder is attachable to, and detachable from, the smartphone.
