A dispensing assembly is provided for a container of fluent material. A hand-operable dispenser cartridge is adapted to be mounted to the container. An actuator, which may include a nozzle or spout, is mounted on the cartridge. A locking sleeve is mounted around the cartridge and has an upper abutment edge and a recess. The locking sleeve can be rotated between a first rotated position preventing actuation of the dispensing assembly and a second rotated position permitting actuation of the dispensing assembly.

A catch member (14) extending in the width direction of a seat cushion (1) is arranged inside a front portion of the seat cushion (1) and is supported so as to be vertically movable. There are also provided a torsion spring (16) for urging the catch member (14) to move upward and a pendulum member (18) for operating with an inertial force upon an abrupt deceleration to inhibit vertical movement of the catch part. When a passenger sits on the seat cushion (1), the catch member (14) moves downward to preclude deterioration in seating comfort. When the passenger's rear end (22) starts to move forward upon an abrupt deceleration, the catch member (14) is locked and the rear end (22) is caught by the catch member (14). This makes it possible to suppressed the forward movement of the passenger with reliability, and allow lightweight and low-cost configuration with simple configuration.

A dish washing machine having a basket height adjusting apparatus. The dish washing machine includes a machine body having a washing tub defined therein, a basket disposed in the washing tub to receive dishes to be washed, and a basket height adjusting apparatus. The basket height adjusting apparatus includes a support bracket mounted at each side of the basket such that the support bracket can be moved vertically, rollers mounted to the support bracket to slide the basket forward and backward, and an adjusting lever mounted at the basket to adjust a vertical movement of the support bracket and to thereby adjust the height of the basket. The adjusting lever is moved along with the basket. Consequently, in the present invention, the thumb of a user is not caught in the basket and injured when the user rotates the adjusting lever.

A latch for mounting a suppressor to a firearm is disclosed that allows interfacing with and securely attaching to the weapon's flash hider without the need to use threads and the rotational movement commonly associated with attaching suppressors to a firearm. The latch consists of a primary latch and a secondary latch. The primary latch moves in a vertical plane, fits into the grooves on a standard flash hider, and is rotationally indexed to the flash hider when locked. The secondary latch attaches to the top of the primary latch, securing the primary latch when it is fully locked by pivoting around and downwards, and locking to the suppressor. The primary latch compensates for the considerable tolerance range of the outside diameter of the flash hider. The latch has minimal thermal coupling to the suppressor and engaging/disengaging the primary latch plate and the secondary latch can be accomplished with one hand.

A watercraft lift for raising and lowering a watercraft in water, including a buoyant pontoon, a lifting cradle and at least one pivot arm. The lifting cradle includes at least one air tank and a support bunk configured to receive and support the watercraft. The air tank has an internal chamber configured to receive and release pressurized air. The internal chamber has sufficient internal volume that when sufficient pressurized air is received therein the air tank has sufficient buoyancy to lift the lifting cradle to a raised position with the watercraft out of the water when positioned on the support bunk and that when sufficient pressurized air is released from the internal chamber the air tank loses sufficient buoyancy to sink the lifting cradle to a lowered position sufficiently submerged to receive and deploy the watercraft. The pivot arm is pivotally connected to the pontoon and pivotally connected to the lifting cradle to guide movement of the lifting cradle between the lowered position and the raised position.

A removable cleat for a shoe is described. The cleat includes a ground-engaging structure for engaging the ground. An attachment structure is for removably attaching the cleat to the footwear. The attachment structure has a vertical axis, a base to which the top of the ground-engaging member is attached, and multiple extensions projecting radially outward from the base. The extensions are adapted for insertion into a cleat receptacle in the shoe to engage a receptacle attachment structure within the receptacle, so that when the cleat is attached to the receptacle, each cleat extension will be securely engaged above a receptacle restraining ledge.

An articulated device for attaching to a motor vehicle body of a top storage well cover pivotable about an axis provided in a region of a rear opening edge of the top storage well, between a closed position in which the cover overlaps the top storage well, and an open position in which the top storage well is freely accessible, the device including two stop members provided, respectively, on the storage well cover and on a motor vehicle body, and two articulated arms pivotally attached at their respective opposite ends to the two stop members, with each stop member having two spaced bearing elements for attachment respective ends of the two articulated arms to the two stop members, and with the two arms and the two stop members forming a four link connection.

A lamp unit mounting structure includes a mounting panel having a mounting portion, a lamp unit, an elastic fixing member and a restricting member. The elastic fixing member is provided on the lamp unit, and includes a first portion which is extended from the lamp unit, a second portion which has a substantially U-shape, and has a first end being integrally connected to the first portion, a third portion which is extended from a second end of the second portion toward the lamp unit. The engagement portion engages the mounting portion of the mounting panel. The restricting member is provided on the lamp unit, and restricts a movement of the elastic fixing member in a mounting and dismounting direction of the engagement portion relative to the mounting panel. The restricting member has an escape portion which allows a movement of the elastic fixing member toward the lamp unit.

A step ladder apparatus for retention within a stake pocket comprising a frame assembly a plurality of step assemblies and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly includes a frame flange and a wedge member. The frame assembly is positioned within the stake pocket so that the frame flange overhangs one end of the stake pocket. The base of the wedge member is inserted into the stake pocket opposite the frame flange so that the wedge flange overhangs the stake pocket on a side opposite the frame flange. As a result, the flanges cooperate to substantially preclude downward movement of the frame assembly, and, in turn, removal of the frame assembly in a downward direction from the stake pocket.

The present invention relates to the connector field, especially to a vertical separation connector and a vertical separation mechanism thereof. The vertical separation connector comprises a vertical separation mechanism and a plug connected with the vertical separation mechanism, the vertical separation mechanism comprises a fixed mount, a plug hinged on the fixed mounted and configured to drive the corresponding connector and a front swing rod and a rear swing rod separated from a socket being in the front and back horizontal motion, and one end, far away from the fixed mount, of the front swing rod and one end, far away from the fixed mount, of the rear swing rod are connected with the plug to form a parallelogram mechanism. The vertical separation connector and the vertical separation mechanism thereof do not need an extra power supply when usage so as to avoid the defect of requiring a power supply in the electromagnetic-type segregation mode; the separation force is small, and the separation process does not generate extra materials; and moreover, the whole separation mechanism is small in size and simple in structure.
