There is provided a flavor dispenser apparatus that allows flavored aerosols to be dispensed into a glass, plate, or other dishware during a meal or the like. The flavor dispenser apparatus includes a storage part storing an aerosol-generating liquid, a heating unit having a heater and generating an aerosol by atomizing the aerosol-generating liquid, a liquid delivery unit delivering the aerosol-generating liquid to the heating unit, an aerosol passage having at a distal end thereof an aerosol outlet port, a flavor source holding part provided at an intermediate point in the aerosol passage and holding a flavor source so as to allow passage of the aerosol, and an aerosol-pumping unit transporting the aerosol toward the flavor source holding part and causing the aerosol to pass through the flavor source as well as causing the aerosol flavored by the flavor source to be discharged from the aerosol outlet port.

A drinking vessel for delivering air to a user may include an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell may define at least an air inlet at a lower region of the outer shell and an air outlet at an upper region of the outer shell. The inner and outer shells may together at least partially define an air flow passage which may be in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet. The drinking vessel may include an air moving device. The air moving device may be configured to move air from the air inlet, through the air flow passage, to the air outlet. The drinking vessel may include a power source and an actuation device. The actuation device may be operably coupled with the air moving device and the power source for selectively activating the air moving device with the power source.

A faux birthday cake apparatus having in one example a flexible base that is indicative of a cake has a plurality of recesses configured to receive candles. The base can be bent or twisted to eject any wax drippings resulting from the candles. The upper surface of the base has a continuous central portion including indicia, such as a message indicative of a celebration. In another example, the apparatus has a base including a lower portion supporting an upper portion having a plurality of recesses configured to receive candles. A selectively removable flexible sheet-like layer is disposed on the upper portion and has openings aligned with the plurality of recesses. After a celebration, any wax drippings that fall on the sheet-like layer can be easily ejected by bending or twisting the sheet-like layer. The materials are all dishwasher safe.

A cover is positioned over a base unit and a first candle is inserted through a perforation formed in the cover and into a first apertured formed in the base unit. The cover is rotated around the candle to position the cover such that additional perforations in the cover are aligned with additional apertures in the base. The cover can also be rotated to align an alignment marker on the cover with an alignment marker on the top surface of the base unit. Additional candles can then be inserted through the perforations in the cover and into additional apertures in the base. The candles can then be lit. After the candles are extinguished (e.g., blown out the by birthday celebrant), the candles can be removed from the apertures in the base and through the perforations in the cover.

Provided herein are compositions comprising substrates that contain polymeric materials or non-magnetic, paramagnetic, or diamagnetic metal objects, and films or inks that contain ferromagnetic materials in which the films or the ferromagnetic materials are transparent. Also provided herein are methods of fabricating the substrates. Further provided herein are ferromagnetic material films containing transparent or translucent films that comprises ferromagnetic materials. The coating imparts functionality to the film such that the film is capable of being mechanically separated from the polymeric materials or non-magnetic, paramagnetic, or diamagnetic metal objects using a commercial magnetic separator. The transparent, food-safe ink composition, which can be printed using high-speed flexographic, gravure, intaglio, offset printing or pad printing consists of an ingestible magnetically susceptible pigment capable of rendering the printed template with magnetically active properties.

A composite thermoformed tableware and preparation method thereof. The preparation method involves a preheating step, a compositing step and a thermoforming step in sequence; the preheating step heats multilayer forming materials at a temperature of 35° C. to 150° C., the forming materials have one or at least two of paper, plastic and inorganic layer; the compositing step involves stacking the preheated forming materials to form a composite material; the thermoforming step involves heat-pressing the composite material at a temperature of 80° C. to 150° C. and a pressure of 0.05 MPa to 0.5 MPa to form a three-dimensional body. The tableware is thermoformed by multiple layers of the same material or different materials, so that the thickness and strength of the tableware are higher.

A baby-safe drying apparatus, including a generally pair shaped housing having a bottom portion connected to a middle portion tapering to a top portion, an electric fan connected to an interior wall of the housing and operative to draw air into an air inlet and out an air outlet, and a rechargeable battery supported within the bottom portion. The housing has a generally hollow interior with the air inlet located on the bottom portion and the air outlet located on the top portion. The air outlet is generally perpendicular to the housing in an upright position. The electric fan is arranged to be baby-safe. The rechargeable battery operationally providing power to the electric fan. The lower portion has a greater mass than the middle and top portions such that the center of gravity of the housing is lowered.

An independent, stabilizing insert employed for mobile transportation of consumable goods. As a stand-alone unit, the base and single tiered, partially enclosed stabilizing barrier, and or base and multiple tiered, plurality of partially enclosed, stabilizing barriers, as a singular unit and a solid part of the base, comprised of a disposable and or reusable material base, and where the stabilizing insert in its entirety, rests securely alone and or within an inner base dimensions of a multiplicity of generalized boxes and or a multiplicity of cake boxes and or a multiplicity of cake carriers, and or a multiplicity of cake storage units, and or a multiplicity of cake transporters, and or a multiplicity of cake transportation systems, to propose a promising application for safe transport of a cake tier, and or a plurality of cake tiers, comprised of a plurality of dimensions and or multiple shapes.

An example disposable food service tray that can withstand high heat is disclosed. The disposable food tray includes a first layer comprising paper board, and a second layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET) affixed to the first layer, wherein an adhesion between the first layer and the second layer is configured to withstand a temperature of up to 525 degrees Fahrenheit for up to six minutes without blistering.

A flexible liner is provided for insertion into and containment within a bottle that has a neck portion with an upper edge. The flexible liner has a flexible hollow body formed of silicone, wherein the flexible hollow body has a neck portion that terminated in a lip at a top edge of the flexible hollow body for placement above the upper edge of the bottle.
