A self-sealing integrated tableware and dining mat including a rubberlike planar portion having a raised perimeter delimiting at least one concavity above an upper surface and a suffuse undersurface disposed for sealable contact with an underlying surface upon which said mat is disposed, said sealable contact preventative of lateral displacement of the planar portion across the underlying surface, wherein said sealable contact creates a partial vacuum when attempts to separate the undersurface from the underlying surface are made except at an outer edge of the planar portion, whereby removal of the planar portion from the underlying surface is effective only by peeling the undersurface from the underlying surface starting first at the outer edge.

The disclosed is a non-slip container with hidden suction cup. In one aspect, a container includes a storage space, a suction cup, solid core, suction mechanism and a release tab. The solid core is placed directly above the suction cup in the storage space. The suction mechanism is positioned in a sectional gap of the container under the solid core. The suction mechanism enables the container to adhere with a surface on which the container is affixed. The release tab of the suction mechanism is accessible from the strategically placed area of the container. The release tab is positioned under the solid core and fully vertically flushes with the container. The release tab is encompassed in the sectional gap under the container. The release tab enables a user to detach the container from the surface when the release tab is lifted upward from the surface.

In some embodiments, a system comprises a mat body characterized by a front side, a back side and a thickness; a plurality of anchors, each anchor comprising an anchor block having an aperture characterized by an aperture diameter, a suction cup having a sealing surface and an outer surface, and a stem that is coaxial with the suction cup and connects the suction cup to the anchor block. Each anchor may be disposed through the thickness, such that its anchor block is on the front side and its suction cup extends from the back side. The system may further comprise an elongated tether that is removably coupleable to one of the plurality of anchors, and the elongated tether may comprise an anchor end having a generally spherical anchor terminus characterized by an anchor diameter that is greater than the aperture diameter.

The invention provides a supported body having a magnetic or ferromagnetic component to adhere the supported body to a magnetic or ferromagnetic support, such as a table top by magnetic attraction. A reusable adhering component, such as a stretch-releasable pressure sensitive adhesive tape is disposed on a top surface of the supported body to removably attach tableware or dishware to the supported body. The supported body can be in the form of a plate, a coaster, a placemat, or other known configuration. Alternatively, a support body can be releasably secured to a table top or other support surface by a releasable attaching device such as a suction cup and a supported body can be releasably attached to a piece of tableware or dishware by a releasable attaching device such as a suction cup, and the support body and the supported body can be magnetically attached to each other.

A securable plate for infants having a sidewall projecting a length of a perimeter edge engages removably with a support surface using a suction cup. An opening in the sidewall provides a passage to lift the edge of the suction cup to disengage the suctioned engagement of the suction cup by lifting the edge of the suction cup or a release flap extending from it.
