The invention relates to a disposable container for holding food or for decorative purposes. The disposable container has a surface with an adhesive layer to removably detach the disposable container from the surface of another disposable container, to form a stacked configuration with multiple disposable containers. The disposable container can also contain a fragrance or non-toxic insect repellent on a surface or in the adhesive layer, which can release the fragrance or non-toxic insect repellent.

The sink based toiletry organizer with integrated drain comprises a multi-section structure.

A compact container for receiving two types of cosmetic materials enables a user to use two types of cosmetic materials in one compact container as a first impregnating member is received in an inner container, and a second impregnating member is received in an inner container lid. The compact container includes an outer container (10) having an open upper portion, an outer container lid (20) coupled to one side of the outer container (10), an inner container (30) having a first receiving space (31) in the outer container (10), and an inner container lid (60) coupled to one side of the inner container (30) and having a second receiving space (65). The second receiving space (65) faces the first receiving space (31), and the second receiving space (65) and the first receiving space (31) are sealed together when the inner container lid (60) is covered on the inner container (30).

A blow-molded plastic container has a storage part (4) for receiving a medium to be dispensed via a container opening (10) and a head part (6) removably connected to the storage part (4) via a separation point (12) and releasing the container opening (10) for removing the medium after the head part has been separated from the storage part (4). The separation of the head part (6) from the storage part (4) is completely prevented or hindered by a securing device (16) in a securing position. The head part (6) can be removed from the storage part (4) without force via the separation point (12) in a release position of the securing device.

A roofing shingle includes an asphalt-coated sheet and a reinforcement member. The asphalt-coated sheet includes a shingle mat and an asphalt coating applied to the shingle mat. The asphalt-coated sheet has a lower tab portion normally exposed on a roof and an upper headlap portion normally covered-up on a roof. At least a portion of the asphalt-coated sheet is coated with granules. The reinforcement member is adhered to the asphalt-coated sheet along an upper edge of the headlap portion, with the reinforcement member and the headlap portion together providing a nail pull-through value that is greater than an otherwise identical shingle having no such reinforcement material.

A tie well-suited for use in retail packaging applications includes a plastic head insert molded around one end of a paper-based cord, such as a length of twine, string or other similar environmentally-friendly material. In one embodiment, the plastic head includes a generally rectangular buckle shaped to define an elongated channel dimensioned to receive the free end of the paper-based cord. A deflectable pawl is coupled to the buckle and is naturally biased to project into the channel and selectively engage the cord in order to retain the tie in a closed loop configuration. The buckle includes a substantially open side wall through which the paper-based cord can be extracted after the tie is formed in its closed loop configuration. A clip is preferably provided on the head for selectively retaining a section of the paper-cord that has been inserted through the elongated channel.

Aspects of the invention provide a protective case for a mobile device. The protective case includes a cavity and a removable portion configured to be removably secured within the cavity. The removable portion can be removed and reinserted from the cavity to selectively expose either surface of the removable portion. A first surface of the removable portion can include a mechanism that can be used to mount the protective case, and therefore the mobile device, to a surface of a structure.
