A lid may be sized and configured to be attached to a container, and the lid may include an activator, a fluid-flow member, and a connecting member. The activator, the fluid-flow member and the connecting member may be pivotally connected. The activator, the fluid-flow member, and the connecting member may be movable between open and closed positions. When the activator, the fluid-flow member, and the connecting member are in the closed position, fluid may be prevented from exiting the container. When the activator, the fluid-flow member, and the connecting member are in the open position, fluid may exit the container through a fluid passageway.

A composition for use in an edible eating device such as a spoon is provided. The composition comprises a blend of flours comprising gluten flour and non-gluten flour, and a liquid. A method of making an edible eating device is provided. The method comprises providing a composition in a form of a dough comprised of a liquid and a blend of flours comprising gluten flour and non-gluten flour, and molding the composition into a three-dimensional curved-shaped, edible eating device. The eating device comprises a composition comprised of a liquid and a blend of flours comprising gluten flour and non-gluten flour. The eating device is in a three-dimensional shape and is edible and biodegradable.

Described is a method of forming a biodegradable and/or edible tableware that has a three dimensional shape in a two-step cooking process by first partially cooking a dough, that contains at least a flour and gelling agent, in a mould (subject to pressure and heat) and then baking the moulded tableware. The dough may include a sugar, and if present, is present at a ratio of the gelling agent to the sugar from 0.8:1 to 1:0.8. The dough may include a vegetable oil as the gelling agent and if the gelling agent is a vegetable oil, the dough includes the addition of water.

A drinking vessel including a beverage container defining a drinking opening therethrough and a closure attachable to the beverage container to close the drinking opening. A first set of magnet units is coupled to the beverage container, and a second set of magnet units is coupled to the closure. When the closure is in a closed position, magnetic attraction between at least one magnet unit of the first set of magnet units and at least one magnet unit of the second set of magnet units holds the closure in place relative to the beverage container, thereby closing the drinking opening. When the closure is rotated away from the closed position, magnetic repulsion between at least one magnet unit of the first set of magnet units and at least one magnet unit of the second set of magnet units pushes the closure away from the beverage container.

Quality modular dinnerware set that expands to multiple configurations for a variety of hosting/serving/dining needs. Basic plates can be used to bake, serve, display, and/or cook for small or large parties. Each plate/unit has a flippable or foldable design so that every piece can be used in more than one way. The plates then can be used on its own, as well as in the microwave, oven, or over a fire, and then paired with any of the wooden accessories to create a personalized tablescape.

A blown film of soil biodegradable aliphatic polyesters produced primarily from diacid and diol monomers. The diacid monomers may be of any type including succinic acid, adipic acid, and hexanedioic acid. The diol monomer may be of any type including ethylene glycol, propanediol, butanediol, and hexanediol. Commercial aliphatic polyesters produced from diacid and diol monomers include polybutylene succinate (PBS), polybutylene adipate succinate (PBAS), and polybutylene adipate (PBA). Comonomers may also be added. Such comonomers include chemicals with a single carboxylic acid, hydroxy, or amine moiety, which act as chain terminators, chemicals with three or more carboxylic acid, epoxy, and/or hydroxy moieties which, act as branching agents.

A device structured and arranged a more reliable means of transporting tall wedding cakes, tiered cakes, large floral arrangements or ice sculptures from their place of creation to their destination includes a height-adjustable platform, a sliding tray, and poles for supporting the platform.

A plate attachment assembly that includes a first plate shell and a second plate shell configured to interlock with one another. The first plate shell comprises a bottom wall and a surrounding sidewall with a flange disposed around the perimeter. The flange includes at least one locking tab with a locking protrusion. The second plate shell comprises a bottom wall and a surrounding sidewall with a flange disposed around the perimeter. The flange includes at least one locking tab receiving aperture and a notch shaped to correspond with the locking protrusion of the first plate shell. The first and second plate shells also include various different support walls on a bottom surface configured to secure the assembly to a drinking cup and/or another plate attachment assembly.

A kit for sealing an open container includes a utensil and a lid. The lid includes a lid body, a sealing mechanism, and at least one holding lug. The sealing mechanism is positioned on an inner face of the lid body, and is configured to sealingly engage an opening of a container to enable the lid to seal the opening of the container. The at least one holding lug extends radially outward from the lid body, and has a through hole extending along a direction perpendicular to the inner face. The through hole is configured to mount the utensil on the lid when the lid is engaged with a container.
