Eachaperture 270 is configured to releasably accept onefinger 244 of thesocket 240. The engagement between theflanges 245 on thefingers 244 and thelips 272 enable or facilitate the releasable engagement therebetween, for example. Additionally, it is envisioned that thelips 272 have a sufficient amount of flexibility relative to thebody portion 262 to provide a more robust engagement between thefingers 244 of thesocket 240 and theapertures 270 of thegasket 260. More particularly, as thefingers 244 are entering theapertures 270 in the general direction of arrow “A” (FIG. 6 ), it is envisioned that thelips 272 flex in the general direction of arrow “A” to accommodate theflanges 245 on thefingers 244. After the widest part of theflange 245 passes thelip 272, thelip 272 flexes back in the general direction of arrow “B” (FIG. 6 ) toward its original position. That is, in such an embodiment, a diameter “da” of theaperture 270 is smaller than the largest diameter “Df” of the finger 244 (FIG. 6 ). This engagement between theflanges 245 on thefingers 244 and thelips 272 adjacent theapertures 270 helps ensure the snow globe 300 remains engaged with thegasket 260. - While two
apertures 270 are shown, it is contemplated that thegasket 260 includes more orfewer apertures 270. Additionally,eye assembly 200 may include the same amount offingers 244 andapertures 270, or may includemore apertures 270 than fingers 244 (e.g., to allow for the snow globe 300 to be inserted into thegasket 260 in various orientations). - With reference to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , the annular lip 266 of thegasket 260 extends beyond theupper surface 246 of thebody portion 242 of thesocket 240 - While the above description contains many specifics, these specifics should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the present disclosure, but merely as illustrations of various embodiments thereof. Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of various embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.
