A disposable drain strainer is removably received within a drain opening having an adjacent drain rim substrate. The strainer has a strainer portion, a ring portion, and a seal release mechanism. Top and bottom surfaces of the ring portion are adapted to sealingly engage the drain rim substrate. The seal release mechanism is integral with the ring portion, and facilitates release of the seal so that the strainer can be readily be removed from the sink and discarded. In one aspect, the seal release mechanism comprises a tab. In another aspect, the seal release mechanism comprises a press-release component, wherein the ring portion has arced ring walls having convex and concave configurations. During sealing engagement with the drain rim, the ring portion is in the convex configuration. Pressure applied to the ring portion causes it to move to the concave configuration. The seal between the ring portion and the substrate is released, and the strainer can be readily removed from the drain opening for disposal without having to touch the strainer contents.

A restraint safety device. A chest clip is slidingly attached to a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap. The chest clip includes a first chest clip half removably attached to a second chest clip half. A child resistant lock prevents a child from inadvertently detaching the first chest clip half from the second chest clip half In a preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a squeezable threaded cap that locks the first chest clip half to the second chest clip half and is removable by an adult when squeezed and turned. In another preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a cover lock that locks the first chest clip half to the second chest clip half via prongs and is removable when an adult squeezes the prongs and lifts the cover lock. In another preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a cap that covers a press release button. By an adult pressing down on the cap and turning the cap, the press release button is pressed and the first chest clip half can be separated from the second chest clip half. In another preferred embodiment, at least one chest clip stop is attached to each shoulder strap. The chest clip stops function to prevent or limit the sliding of the chest clip and to keep the chest clip properly positioned over the user's chest. In another preferred embodiment, dialable tumblers retain a male insertion piece inside a female receptor. In order to remove the male insertion piece from the female receptor a parent dials the dialable tumblers until they are properly aligned.

An electronic market calendar that identifies settlement dates, holidays, market-related events, and provides links to news, information and research materials, pertaining to certain transaction terms, currencies or territories. The invention displays or provides a market calendar in which each one of a plurality of calendar dates that corresponds to a settlement date, a market-related event date or a holiday is displayed in a visibly distinct manner from the rest of the calendar dates. The set of market-related events may include, for example, events such as national elections, publications of economic forecasts, releases of economic reports, monetary policy announcements, trade announcements, interest rate announcements, press releases, governmental hearings, federal open market committee meetings, financial summit meetings, or any other events related to the market in which the electronic market calendar is applied.

An edge sewing apparatus for carrying out edge sewing in a curved shape along one side edge of a cloth piece in a strip-like shape while rotating the cloth piece, which includes: a press rotating member rotated in accordance with feeding of the cloth piece while pressing the cloth piece; a rotational angle measuring device that measures a rotational angle of the press rotating member; and a press releasing device that releases the press rotating member from being pressed when the rotational angle measured by the rotational angle measuring device reaches a predetermined angle.

The present invention relates to methods and systems for producing, previewing and publishing a video press release (“VPR”) over an electronic network. A video press release comprises multimedia information. A software transcoder that performs the function of removing incompatibilities between video file formats and text document file formats for producing, previewing and publishing a VPR is implemented. The present invention assures multimedia compatibility of a VPR across video file formats, web browser formats, computer operating systems, and text file formats by transcoding a video file, as well as compressing, resizing and juxtaposing / transposing the transcoded video file along with a text presentation received from a text file, and presenting the so-produced VPR to Internet audience. The invention operates with a webpage of a secure Internet website so that a single individual for a public or private company or other organizations may generate a video press release instantly and efficiently by an accurate, efficient, and time-sensitive method.

A buckle having a socket member and a plug member which may be coupled to the socket member. Latching surfaces on the plug member are formed on in resiliently flexible legs which extend from the base of the plug member. The socket member includes stopping members for engaging the latching surfaces of the legs in order to couple the plug member to the socket member. A button formed on the socket member includes a releasing member which is pushed down into the socket and forced into a space between the legs, thereby forcing the flexible legs to bend outwardly. As the legs are forced outwardly, eventually their latching surfaces clear the stopping members, and the plug member is released form the socket. The resiliently flexible nature of the legs provides a force upon disengagement of the latching surfaces from the post, which causes the plug member to spring out of the socket.
