Furniture for displaying advertising includes a table having a planar surface, a steel plate secured to the planar surface and having a first polarity, and an advertising panel comprised of a flexible material and having a second polarity. The advertising panel is removably secured to the steel plate using magnetic forces. A protruding lip extends about a periphery of the planar surface and around the advertising panel so that a top surface of the advertising panel is flush with a top surface of the protruding lip. A vertical support has a first end secured to a lower portion of the planar surface and an opposing second end configured to be placed on a ground surface. The planar surface of the table is substantially perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of the vertical support causing the advertising panel to be horizontal to the ground surface.

A unique, versatile system of providing decorative dinnerware articles (plates, bowls, platters, and the like) with viewable designs on demand is provided. Such an article (as well as system) includes at least one transparent top component of a suitable polymer construction that nests with a lower component such that the two connect reliably in a manner that a user may place a decoration of his or her choosing between both component such that the design may be viewed through at least the top component (the lower component may be transparent, as well, if desired). In this way, a user has the capability of utilizing such a nested dinnerware configuration for the purpose of serving food or any other end-use available with such articles while simultaneously providing any desired design that can be displayed through at least the transparent top component.

A smart cup including a main body having an opening; a cover configured to cover at least one portion of the opening; a driving unit configured to move the cover to open and close the at least one portion of the opening; a motion sensor configured to sense a motion of the main body; a proximity sensor configured to sense an object contacted with or adjacent to the opening; and a controller configured to control the driving unit to move the cover to open the at least one portion of the opening in response to the motion sensor sensing the motion of the main body and the proximity sensor sensing the object contacted with or adjacent to the opening, and control the driving unit to move the cover to close the at least one portion of the opening in response to the motion sensor sensing the motion of the main body and the proximity sensor not sensing the object contacted with or adjacent to the opening.

A polymeric article includes a body and encoded visual indicia formed on the body. The encoded visual indicia may be scanned to generate instructions. A method of providing the polymeric article includes applying polymeric materials to a mold to provide an article-blank web having formed therein an article preform of a desired shape with encoded visual indicia formed in the article preform.

A double walled illuminated vessel for displaying indicia comprising an outer sleeve, an inner liner, a lens, a transparent or translucent connection ring, a base and an illumination module adapted to be inserted into the base whereby the base and connection ring are connected to each other creating a base illumination unit. Light from the illumination module passes through the hollow space between the outer sleeve and the inner liner such that the lens bearing indicia is illuminated thus prominently displaying any desired graphic, logo, design, trademark, symbol, letter, number or any other indicia. The connection ring transmits and diffuses light through the inner liner and upper rim as well as the sidewall of the connection ring. The base illumination unit is removable from the outer sleeve and can be used as an independent light source by a user. Additionally, the illumination module is rechargeable in one embodiment and can provide an adequate charge to a mobile device

The present invention relates to a simple holder which includes an elastic first sheet structure. The first sheet structure has a first side and a second side which are opposite to each other, a hole located between the first side and the second side, a first cutting slit formed by cutting from the edge of the first side inwards, and a second cutting slit formed by cutting from the edge of the second side inwards. The center of the hole is located between the first cutting slit and the second cutting slit. The first sheet structure can be bent to make the first cutting slit slotting into the second cutting slit for locking. The simple holder provided by the present invention is formed by sheets and is thus convenient to be manufactured, transported and stored.
