The front-loading laundry basket is adapted for use with a laundry basket. The front-loading washing machine is further defined with a first circular door. The front-loading dryer is further defined with a second circular door. The front-loading laundry basket is an accessory that attaches the laundry basket to a circular door selected from the group consisting of the first circular door or the second circular door. The front-loading laundry basket comprises a laundry basket and a bracket. The bracket attaches the laundry basket to the circular door selected from the group consisting of the first circular door or the second circular door.

A compactly transportable collapsible frame for supporting a soft bag accommodating perishable goods comprises: (a) a rectangular carrying sub-frame; (b) at least two supporting members releasably connectable to said rectangular carrying sub-frame. The rectangular carrying sub-frame comprises four successively connected to each other Γ-like shaped members. Each Γ-like shaped member comprises a main elongate portion having a longitudinal axis and first and second terminal connectors oriented is along and perpendicularly to the axis, respectively

A vented pump includes a pump housing with a fluid retention cavity, a fluid inlet, and at least one vent opening therethrough. A pump dome is secured to the pump housing to form a dome cavity. Movement of the pump dome allows material from the fluid retention cavity to enter the dome cavity through the fluid inlet, and selectively allows ambient air to enter the fluid retention cavity through the at least one vent opening.

A reclosable flexible package is described that includes an inner film layer, an outer film layer laminated to the inner film layer, and reclose region defined in a portion of package film layers. The reclose region includes pressure sensitive adhesive disposed between the inner and outer film layers. A number of cut lines are provided in the outer film layer in the reclose region, such that the user, by manipulating the package film layers at the reclose region, can reveal the underlying layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. Once the pressure sensitive adhesive of the reclose region is exposed, the action of the user can serve to adhere the pressure sensitive adhesive to itself and/or other portions of the film, such that the package is cinched in the area of the reclose region and maintains the remnants of the package contents within the reclosed package for later use.

The present invention is directed to a sewing basket for storing thread, pins, needles, scissors, buttons, snaps, measuring tapes, and other sewing tools and accessories. The present invention is further directed to a novel method of collapsing the size of the sewing basket for shipping, storage, and other purposes. The sewing basket of this invention includes a base, an upper frame and a collapsible side walls connecting the base and the upper frame. The basket may switch from a collapsed position with the side walls collapsed bringing the upper frame in proximity to the base and an extended position where the side walls are maintained in an extended position with a support.

A collapsible storage container article with a dedicated writing surface comprises: a flexible bottom panel, flexible side, front and rear panels, and a flexible top panel. An interior of the container farther comprises a plurality of rigid plastic panels expandable and/or integrated for proximate placement to at least one of each of the flexible bottom, side, front, rear and top panels. An exterior of at least one of the flexible bottom, side, front, rear and top panels comprises a dedicated writing surface capable of receiving writing by a writing instrument, and wherein the dedicated writing surface may erasable.

A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system includes a liquid storage portion configured to store a liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The liquid storage portion includes one or more flexible walls and is configured to change at least one of the shape and the size of the liquid storage portion upon a change of the volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion. The cartridge includes a sensor configured to detect data of a physical property. The data relates to at least one of a corresponding shape and a corresponding size of the liquid storage portion so that the volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion is determinable from the measured data.

A container is described, which may be used as part of item sortation within a facility, as well as item deliveries to end locations. In an example, the container may be configured to transition between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The container may include a loading panel and an unloading panel. The loading panel may include a fastener such that an opening can be selectively created and closed in the expanded state. Accordingly, packaged items may be inserted and securely retained in the container through the loading panel. The unloading panel may also include a fastener such that an opening can be selectively created and closed in the expanded state. Accordingly, the packaged items may be unloaded from the container through this opening. The container may also be dimensioned to facilitate stowage of the container in the collapsed state and loading/unloading of packaged items in the expanded state.
