Releasable fastening devices are provided in spaced-apart locations on the inner surface of the outer bag and in adjacent locations on the outer surface of the inner liner. The adjacent fastening devices are easily connectable together to maintain the liner in conforming condition relative to the outer bag member during both loading of material into the cargo container and unloading of material from the cargo container. The releasable fastening devices are also easily separable to premit removal of the liner from the outer bag member.

A restraining device for allowing a pet to encircle a building or the like has a continuous cable looped around the building and a leash movably engaging the cable and fixedly attached to the pet so that the pet may pull the leash along the cable and around the building. A connector freely moveable along the cable allows the length of the loop to be adjusted prior to use.

A humidifier including a base defining a liquid reservoir; an electrically energized humidification device adapted to induce dispersion of liquid retained by the reservoir; a power supply for supplying electrical current to the humidification device; a control circuit connecting the power supply to the humidification device and including a switch operable in an active state to produce energizing current flow between the power supply and the humidification device and operable in an inactive state to prevent energizing current flow therebetween; and a sensing mechanism operatively coupled to the switch and adapted to sense the liquid level in the reservoir, the sensing mechanism adapted to provide the active state for the switch in response to a minimum liquid level in the reservoir and to provide the inactive state for the switch in response to a liquid level in the less than the minimum liquid level. Also included is a delay for delaying the energizing current flow between the power supply and the humidification device for a given period after the level of liquid in the reservoir reaches the minimum liquid level. The provision of a delay prevents the premature flow of current to the humidification device.

A humidifier including a base defining a reservoir for retaining a liquid volume; an electrically energized humidification mechanism for inducing dispersion of liquid contained by said reservoir; an electrical supply for supplying electrical energy to the humidification mechanism; an electrical switch coupled between the supply and the humidification mechanism and having active and inactive states, the switch adapted in its active state to allow the supply of electrical energy to the humidification mechanism and adapted in its inactive state to prevent the supply of electrical energy thereto; and an operator coupled to the electrical switch and adapted for movement between active and inactive positions, the operator adapted in its active position to induce the active state of the electrical switch and in its inactive position to induce the inactive state thereof. Also included is a float disposed in the reservoir and adapted for movement in response to changes in the level of liquid therein, the float comprising an actuator portion for inducing movement of the operator and having a cross-section of given shape; and a barrier wall limiting access to the electrical switch and defining an opening conforming to the given shape, the opening receiving the actuator portion and accommodating movement thereof. The barrier wall prevents tampering operations with the electrical switch.

A humidifier including a base defining a reservoir adapted to retain a liquid volume; the base having an open top and a horizontal cross section including a substantially rectangular portion, and a substantially circular portion intersecting and projecting into the rectangular portion; and the base including a substantially circular sidewall forming the circular portion, a substantially rectalinear endwall, a first substantially rectalinear sidewall extending between the circular sidewall and one end of the endwall, and a second substantially rectalinear sidewall extending between the circular sidewall and an opposite end of the endwall; the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the endwall forming the rectangular portion. The humidifier also includes an inlet wall defining an air inlet; a blower assembly demountably supported by the base and covering the open top; the blower assembly comprising an upper wall defining an air outlet disposed above the circular portion, a fan blade disposed between the circular portion and the air outlet, and an electrical motor coupled to the fan blade; and a wick retained by the base in the rectangular portion and comprising a source portion disposed in the reservoir and an evaporative portion disposed thereabove and between the air inlet and the fan blade, the wick adapted to provide liquid flow by capillary action from the source portion to the evaporative portion.

An oscillating electric fan may be used in both a table supported position and a wall mounted position. The electric fan includes a fan unit and a pedestal for supporting the fan unit. The pedestal includes a base and an elongate fan unit support extending generally perpendicular to the base. A mounting joint is provided for moveably coupling the fan unit to the distal end of the fan unit support. The mounting joint permits pivotal tilting movement of the fan between first and second positions which define the wall mounted and table supported positions of the fan. A manually actuatable clip is engageable with the mounting joint. The clip permits movement of the fan unit from the first positions to the second positions without actuation of the clip. The clip further prevents movement of the fan unit from the second positions to the first positions without actuation of the clip.

Four triangular lifting panels are formed integrally with and extend upwardly from the upper edges of the side walls of the cargo bag. Each of the triangular lifting panels includes wide lower ends, inwardly tapering sides, and substantially pointed upper ends with the wide lower ends of the triangular lifting panels being integrally joined with at least one-half of the upper edges of at least two of the side walls on opposed sides of the cargo bag. In one embodiment, pairs of triangular lifting panels are formed integrally with opposed side walls so that the lifting stress is equally distributed to opposed side walls. In another embodiment, the four triangular lifting panels are formed integrally with and centered above the juncture of adjacent side walls so that the lifting stress is equally distributed to all four side walls. Lifting loop means is associated with the lifting panels for supporting and moving the cargo bag from one location to another.
