摘要： A unit for providing easy manipulation of a compact disc case from a closed to open position and back, allowing simple access to the compact disc, requiring only one hand to operate. The unit clasps the compact disc case by means of four latches that engage four slots on the compact disc case cover. The four latches accept the compact disc case by a skewed face and engage the slots by a spring bias of the latches. The locked position allows easy opening of the compact disc case. The removal of the compact disc case from the unit is allowed by the beveled edge of the latches, forcing the latches to retract when the compact disc case is pulled in a direction lateral to the insertion of the compact disc case. By means of this structure, the compact disc case can be opened with one hand, allowing quick and easy acccess to the compact disc and the literature booklet. The advantages being a convenience in some circumstances and a neccessity in other circumstances (I.E. to a user operating an automobile, people lacking some manual dexterity and people limited to the use of one hand).

摘要翻译： 一种用于从紧凑到打开的位置和背面轻松操作光盘盒的单元，允许简单地访问光盘，仅需要一只手操作。 该单元通过四个闩锁扣住光盘盒，该闩锁与光盘盒盖上的四个插槽接合。 四个闩锁通过倾斜的表面接受光盘盒，并通过闩锁的弹簧偏压接合狭槽。 锁定位置允许轻松打开光盘​​盒。 从单元移除光盘盒可以通过闩锁的斜边缘来实现，当光盘盒沿光盘外壳的插入方向被拉动时，迫使闩锁缩回。 通过这种结构，可以用一只手打开光盘盒，从而可以快速方便地存放光盘和文献手册。 其优点在某些情况下是方便的，在其他情况下（对于使用汽车的用户，缺少一些手动灵巧的人员以及限于使用一方的人员）而言是非常便利的。

摘要： A method and apparatus for preventing blockage of a water flow path from a gutter of a building through a downspout includes a receptacle which is rotatably supported beneath the gutter. The receptacle is movable between a collecting orientation and an emptying orientation under the influence of the weight of water and debris conducted from the gutter to the receptacle when the receptacle is in the collecting orientation. The receptacle includes a compartment having an outlet through which water passes prior to collection of debris in the compartment. As debris collects in the compartment and at least partially blocks the outlet so that water also collects in the compartment, the combined center of gravity of the receptacle and the water and debris in the compartment moves from one side of a vertical plane containing the axis about which the receptacle rotates to the opposite side of the plane. As this occurs, the receptacle is rotated from the collecting orientation to the emptying orientation. It is contemplated that the receptacle may be constructed with either a single compartment or a plurality of compartments.

摘要翻译： 用于防止从建筑物的沟槽通过下水口堵塞水流路的方法和装置包括可旋转地支撑在沟槽下方的容器。 当容器处于收集方向时，容器可在收集方向和排空方向之间移动，在水和碎屑从贮槽传导到容器的重量的影响下。 容器包括具有出口的隔室，在收集隔室内的碎屑之前，水通过该出口。 当碎片收集在隔室中并且至少部分地阻塞出口，使得水也收集在隔室中时，容器的重心和隔室中的水和碎屑的组合重心从包含轴线的垂直平面的一侧移动 容器旋转到平面的相对侧。 当这种情况发生时，容器从收集方向旋转到排空方向。 预期容器可以由单个隔室或多个隔室构成。
