A case for storing articles includes a base including a lower body having a first hemispherical side surface, a flat external bottom surface, and an interior cavity. The base has a platform secured to the lower body within the interior cavity. The platform includes first and second receptacles for retaining first and second articles, respectively, at first and second heights relative to the external bottom surface, respectively. The first height is different from the second height. The case includes a lid coupled to the base such that the lid is movable relative to the base between an open state and a closed state. The lid includes an upper body having a second hemispherical side surface and a dome-shaped internal ceiling surface defining a storage chamber for receiving tops of the articles when the lid is in the closed state.

An electric pencil sharpener with delay function includes a motor, a drive assembly, a gear assembly and a cutter assembly. The drive assembly includes a connecting rod, a drive shaft and a start trigger, a stop trigger, and a thrust plate. The connecting rod is moved backward to drive the start trigger to trigger the motor, and synchronously rotated with the cutter assembly; the stop trigger is provided with a teeth structure and a friction structure respectively. The thrust plate is rotated or moved to push against the drive shaft, so that the connecting rod continues to move backwards until the bulge portion engages with the teeth structure, and the ring portion matches with the friction structure, thereby actuating the stop trigger to move to trigger an action of the stop switch of the motor.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pencil sharpener for sharpening pencils is presented. The pencil sharpener is useful for sharpening one or more pencils during a single event. Also, the pencil sharpener is useful for storing one or more pencils in a convenient location to be sharpened immediately or at other determined times and intervals.

A pencil sharpener is provided. The pencil sharpener comprising: a sharpener body configured to sharpen a pencil when inserted and rotated; a first guide rotationally coupled to the sharpener body, the first guide having a first opening sized and shaped to receive a circular, hexagon or oval pencil; and a second guide rotationally coupled to the sharpener body, the second guide assembly having a second opening sized and shaped to receive a circular, hexagon or oval pencil, the second opening being aligned with the first opening when the pencil is inserted through both the first opening and the second opening.

A pencil sharpener is disclosed. The pencil sharpener may include a first receptacle for sharpening a distal end of a pencil; and a second receptacle for heating the distal end of the pencil, the heater configured to heat an end of the pencil at a temperature corresponding to a material of the pencil.
