A container, such as a beverage container, is provided. The container includes a ledge surface that projects away from a bottom surface of the container. The ledge surface is configured to interface with ribs projecting over a recess in a unit, such as a tool storage unit.

A bowl may be configured to include an outer body that has a u-shaped cross section, and the outer body may have a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, the bottom also including a circular groove around a circumference of the bottom and a bracket within the circular groove, wherein a foot is inserted within the groove, and wherein the foot is secured to the circular groove by the bracket. The bowl may include an inner body, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped. The inner body may hold a liquid or solid, and the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body. An internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and the internal cavity is insulative. The connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and the inner body may be seamless.

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a first member, a second member that is removably attachable to the first member, a first magnetic member attached to the first member, a second magnetic member attached to the second member, and at least one attachment portion disposed on the second member. When the first member is removably attached to the second member, a surface of the first member bears against a first surface of the second member. The at least one attachment portion is disposed on a second surface of the second member. The first surface and the second surface are disposed on opposite sides of the second member. The second member is removably attachable to the first member via magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic members.

The present invention is directed to a no slip vessel. The no slip vessel comprises a container, a platform, and a suction cup. The container has an open end and a closed end; the open end defines a containment zone. The platform is adjacent to the closed end and opposite the containment zone. The platform has a ring and a shaft. The ring has threads and is adapted to receive the suction cup. The suction cup is adapted to sealingly fit within the ring and has a shaft fixed to a region. The shaft has threads and is adapted to interact with the shaft translating rotational motion of the container to vertical motion of the shaft. The shaft vertical motion establishes an open position where the suction cup is unsealed with respect to a support surface and a closed position where the suction cup is sealed to a support surface.

The invention relates to a plastic vessel comprising a metal element which is accommodated its base, wherein the plastic vessel comprises a vessel element and a cover, such that the plastic vessel is formed in two pieces, wherein a recess is formed in the base of the vessel element, said recess being enclosed by the cover such a that a central closed region of the recess is provided, which accommodates the metal element, and wherein the vessel element and the cover are connected to one another thermoplastically under pressure. Moreover the invention relates to a method for producing a plastic vessel while using the thermoplastic properties of the plastic, and to the use of the vessel in interaction with a suitable means of transport and/or in a vehicle of any kind and/or for the usage by persons with reduced motor skills, perception, attention, and/or as a decorative element.

The invention relates to a vessel which accommodates a metal element in its base, wherein the vessel comprises a lower recess in the base which accommodates the metal element, wherein the metal element is bonded to the base by means of a transparent adhesive at the bottom of the recess and is embedded by a transparent plastic which fills up a remaining area of the recess. The invention further relates to a method for producing a vessel.

A cup or glass design that prevents both slipping and tipping. The cup is shaped so that its bottom has both a region of high friction and a region of low friction. The region of high friction can be a set of small rubber feet or the like. The region of low friction can be the smooth cup surface. The two regions are juxtapositioned so that when the cup is sitting flat in its normal resting position, the region of high friction makes contact with the surface; however, if the cup is tipped, the region of high friction lifts off the surface allowing the region of low friction to contact the surface. This then causes the partially-tipped cup to slide rather than tip over. As it slides away from the source of the tipping force, the cup will then right itself by gravity and return to the normal resting position.

A container assembly for holding a beverage includes a walled container having an interior surface and an exterior surface. An expandable grip accessory is operatively coupled to the walled container and includes a grip accessory body movable between an extended configuration and a collapsed configuration. The grip accessory body includes a first end and a second end. A hub is operatively coupled to the walled container and includes an opening sized to receive at least a portion of the second end of the grip accessory body. The first end of the grip accessory body is spaced away from the exterior surface of the walled container when the grip accessory body is in the extended configuration.

The invention relates to a glass vessel which accommodates a metal element in its base, wherein the glass vessel comprises a lower recess in the base which accommodates the metal element, wherein the metal element is bonded to the base by means of a transparent adhesive at the bottom of the recess and is embedded by a transparent plastic which fills up a remaining area of the recess. The invention further relates to a method for producing a glass vessel.

A spill resistant cup comprising: a substantially hollow body; a lid, where the lid is removably attached to the body such that the lid spans the top of the body and where the top of the lid has an opening; and an insert located between and spaced from the top of the lid and the bottom of the body, where the insert has an elevated opening and where the opening in the insert aligns with the opening in the lid. The insert, along with the alignment of the openings, allows a user to drink from the cup unimpeded while preventing liquid from within the cup from spilling out in significant quantities when the cup is tipped over.
