A grille guard for an automobile has a footstep for facilitating safe and easy access to the hood and engine compartment thereof. The footstep is defined by a generally tubular horizontal member having a flattened portion formed along the upper surface thereof and preferably having a non-skid surface formed thereupon.

A crossbow with a vibration-damping device has a stock assembly, a bow assembly, a bushing and at least one resilient element. The stock assembly has a front end. The bow assembly is attached to the front end of the stock assembly. The bushing is clamped between the stock assembly and the bow assembly. The at least one resilient element serves as a vibration-damping device and is clamped between the bushing and the bow assembly. By adding the resilient element, vibrations of the bow assembly are greatly reduced, and the bushing can be selectively made of rigid material to keep the structure of the crossbow sturdy.

A soot particle sensor for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a first electrode device and a second electrode device. The electrode devices are situated at a distance from one another and are able to be exposed to the gas stream, at least in some areas. It is provided that the electrode devices are separated from each other by an intermediate layer made of an electrically insulating material, and the electrode devices have free edges that are set apart from each other by the thickness of the intermediate layer and are able to be exposed to the gas stream.

A decorative accessory for a pet includes a harnessing member, a leash member, and a plurality of charm elements. The harnessing member includes at least one strap element, each having a plurality of engagement locations, and a fastening element. The plurality of engagement locations is configured on the each strap element. The fastening element is disposed on the each strap element. The leash member includes a strip element having a first end segment and a second end segment, a plurality of engagement emplacements configured on the strip element, and a connecting element disposed at the first end segment for connecting the leash member with the harnessing member. Each charm element of the plurality of charm elements includes an attaching mechanism having a female engagement element and a male engagement element adapted to secure the each charm element to at least one of the harnessing member and the leash member.

A fabric for use in outdoor apparel is disclosed comprising an insulating layer including a multitude of cross fibers disposed between exterior fabric layers, the combination of which creates a temperature regulating material suitable for maintaining a comfortable body temperature in environments where the ambient temperature is low. The fabric is created using a double needle bar knitting technique which allows several fiber choices to be incorporated into a single fabric sample and infuses the enclosed, insulating layer with a multitude of air spaces helpful in the insulating process. In addition to air spaces, the invention uses phase change technology in the insulating layer to regulate and stabilize the temperature of the air spaces that exist between the cross fibers, thus producing a thermal regulation effect greater than would be possible if either technology were used alone.

A twin baby carriage comprises a front bracket, a pair of rear brackets, and a linkage bar set. The front bracket includes a connection hub at a middle section. The front bracket includes a front stretcher extended between two sides thereof. The rear brackets include a rear stretcher extended between two outmost sides thereof. The linkage bar set includes an elongate bar, an upper slide sleeve and a lock control assembly. The elongate bar bridges the connection hub and front stretcher. The upper slide sleeve is coupled on the elongate bar. The lock control assembly is held in the upper slide sleeve and includes a control knob and a pin. The control knob is depressible to drive the pin to insert into a positioning hole on the elongate bar such that the upper slide sleeve and elongate bar are locked to form a fixing state.

The present invention relates generally to the field of an anterior load carriage stability and mobility support system, and more particularly to marching band equipment and marching drum stability and mobility support belt for a marching drummer in K-12 primary or secondary, a collegiate, a drum and bugle corps or the like. A device capable of providing a support mechanism for the lumbar region of a user's back that allows for load distribution from loads placed anteriorly and inferiorly to the drummer's body. A preferred embodiment of the device includes a large piece and two smaller pieces of neoprene fabric, dual straps sewn along the sides of the belt, removable commercial grade closed cell foam sheets, and two plastic tubing for a sturdy structure with flexibility and versatility, and Velcro® sewn along the straps and on the obverse side of the belt for easy and secure attachment of the straps.

In the generator arrangement according to the invention at least one main bearing is arranged between the generator and the hub wherein the rotor of the generator is supported only on the front end of a rigid carrier in the form of a support disc (30). The support disc is a hollow chamber structure of low weight and high rigidity.

The present invention relates to the field of devices accommodating bag ventilators applied in medical settings, and, more particularly to devices for automation of the use of bag ventilators.

A particularly styled shelf of a simplified design has a unique structure and appearance from a minimum of components. The shelf may be both stackable, one shelf upon the other, for the storage of goods, and can be easily nested into a compact state, when shelves are desired to be stored or shipped. Each of the shelves has a platform with spaced apart planks upon transverse ribs, and the platform provides a smooth transition for ready storage of goods. Each shelf has two closed loop wire legs, at each end, and the legs elevate the shelf when upon another shelf or a surface. The downward end of each leg has a foot portion of less width than the handle. The foot portions may be inserted through the handle to furnish interconnection of stacked shelves, even when subject to a lifting force.

A ball-returning net comprises a vertical wire frame, a vertical net, a floor wire frame, a slope net, two side barrier nets, and a detachable strap. The vertical net is fixed to the edge portion of the vertical wire frame and blocking the opening of the vertical wire frame. The slope net is disposed over the floor wire frame so as to be tilted from an elevated lower portion of the vertical net to a front edge portion of the floor wire frame, so as to be configured that a ball hitting the vertical net falls down on the slope net and rolls down in a direction of the front edge portion of the floor wire frame. The detachable strap holds the slope net and the vertical wire frame tightly, bending a rear portion of the slope net in a V shape.

A foldable hammock frame comprising two elongate support members hinged at opposite ends. Between the two ends of said elongate support members a conventional hammock can be diploid. The frame designed with the curvature of the two support members allowing the foldable hammock frame to stand in multiple stable positions that provide comfort for the user.Hinges allow the frame to be folded and are equipped with an angle limiter that limits the angle of the hinge opening in unfolded position. The foldable hammock frame has a locking mechanism and can be locked in unfolded position preventing accidental folding while in use.
