Pedestal components are stacked on top of each other in multiple layers, to form multiple display surfaces at different levels of the pedestal. Modular components may be secured together only by gravitational force, and may cooperate by slidable and/or rotatable engagement, for adjustment of a group of components into different configurations as desired. The pedestal may include two or more subassemblies each having two or more layers of components, wherein the subassemblies may be connected by components extending between and engaging multiple of the subassemblies so that some of the components are common to, and interchangeable in, multiple subassemblies.

A container for storing and dispensing liquids, with at least one stacking feature, a dispenser to dispense liquid contained in the container, a handle for carrying the container, an angle (γ) which is the angle between a line (DD′) perpendicular to a reference lifting plane (Lp) cutting through the handle and a line parallel to a vertical of the container in a filling orientation, and a tilt angle (B) which is the angle between the line (DD′) and a line going through a location of a center of gravity of the filled container in the direction of a weight force of the container. When the container is in a filling orientation the tilt angle (B) and the angle (γ) coincide, while when the container is lifted perpendicular to the lifting plane (Lp), the tilt angle (B) is substantially zero.

A drinking bottle assembly includes a lid assembly with a lid housing having a top wall, a flap rotatably coupled to the top wall, and a gasket secured to the flap. A drink opening extends through the top wall. A rim extends above the top wall. At least one notch is located in an inner surface of the rim. The flap includes a flexible portion or extension and at least one locking lug projecting from the flexible portion. The locking lug engages the at least one notch in a closed position. The flap is rotatable from the closed position to a fully open position. The gasket is configured to seal the drink opening in the closed position.

A cover, and more particularly, a portable modular cover that may be assembled outdoors to keep insects and/or the elements from contacting food or other items spread out across small or large areas, and that may also be disassembled for ease of storage and transport, is disclosed. The portable modular cover provides solutions for protecting such food or other items through separate embodiments that are lightweight, durable, easy to assemble, and easy to travel with for virtually any occasion. When disassembled, the portable modular cover can easily fit within any suitable carrying case for ease of transport. Assembling the components together can be done on the fly at any outdoor event without requiring extraneous tools such as wrenches or screwdrivers. Opening and closing the portable modular cover can be done quickly and with ease to minimize exposure of food or other contents when accessing. Other optional accessories such as internal light fixtures can accommodate its use at evening outdoor events.

The present disclosure relates to low-sugar, and preferably sugar-free, edible and/or biodegradable materials, and to edible and/or biodegradable vessels for holding foods and liquids for consumption. Specifically, the disclosure relates to sugar-free edible and/or biodegradable cups, straws, and other vessels, capable of holding hot and/or cold liquids for extended periods of time. The present disclosure and its embodiments further relates to a sugar free edible and/or biodegradable vessel made from natural ingredients. The vessel may have an extended shelf life, and is sturdy enough to be used for a variety of applications.

A water-slowly-disintegrating harden sugar comprising a mixture of fructose, glucose, sucrose, sucrose substitute, water-soluble cellulose, and water-soluble cellulose derivatives is disclosed herein. Also disclosed are related tableware incorporating the water-slowly-disintegrating harden sugar, and related methods of making and using the water-slowly-disintegrating harden sugar.

The present invention relates to a processing method for coating glass container with silicone rubber and a glass container coated with silicone rubber by the processing method. The processing method comprises: cleaning a glass container body and performing a first drying treatment; brushing or spraying a primer on a surface of a part of the glass container body, wherein the surface of the part of the glass container body is to be coated with silicone rubber; performing a second drying treatment on the glass container body, and then cooling the glass container body to a room temperature; putting the glass container body into a mold cavity of a mold, injecting the liquid silicone rubber into the mold cavity, and vulcanizing the liquid silicone rubber for 200 to 300 seconds; opening the mold and letting the mold sliding out, and taking out the glass container coated with the silicone rubber layer.

A system and method for meeting market demand for better constructible utensils. A deformable sheet defines a handle and an operational element in which one or more scores, both straight and curved, are cooperatively provided on the sheet. The one or more scores enable deformation of the handle and/or operational element(s) to convert the structure into a strong, sturdy, and functional implement sufficient to meet the required application.

A food delivery apparatus includes a domed shell that defines an interior space. A thermal storage device is secured to the shell so as to direct heat downward to food within the interior space.
