A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

Embodiments include container assemblies for presentation of contents. In one example, a container assembly for writing instruments may include a slideable platform with a threaded hole configured to operably receive a threaded post therethrough, a housing having at least one guide rail, a manually rotatable base configured to rotate, such that rotation of the manually rotatable base moves the slideable platform within the housing along the at least one guide rail, and at least one platform stopper configured to prevent the slideable platform from advancing past the pre-determined height, wherein the pre-determined height is selected such that the writing instruments are retained by the housing in the container assembly when the slideable platform is in contact with the at least one platform stopper.

A locking module includes: a storage unit in which a password is saved; an input unit which receives a number as an input; a locking unit which restrains a zipper and thereby restricts the sliding of the zipper in a state in which two housings are coupled through the zipper; and a control unit which, when the saved password matches the input number, transmits a lock release signal to the locking unit and controls to release the zipper restrained by the locking unit.

A receiving device includes a casing, a guiding member, a rotation member, a key, and a pushrod. The casing includes a baseboard, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a receiving member. The guiding member is received in the receiving member and defines a receiving groove. The rotation member rotatably covers the receiving groove and defines a bump element. The bump element is mounted on the first side plate through a first spring. The key is movably arranged in the casing. The pushrod includes a first end, a second end, and a spindle. The key is driven by an external force to drive the pushrod to rotate about the spindle, and the pushrod drives the rotation member to rotate until the receiving groove is no longer covered, thus the receiving groove is opened.

The present disclosure relates to storage boxes commonly used to organize and store items such as school-related supplies that may be carried by a student. The storage boxes generally include a lid and a base. The base optionally includes a divider which provides for two or more storage portions within an interior of the base, while also acting as a functional grip on the outside of the box. A latch mechanism is provided which securely latches the lid and base together in a closed configuration.

An improved leveling device is a level having variously angled leveling vials along its length and is graduated with indicia using various standards of measurement. Magnetic strips along the top and bottom surface allows the leveling tool to be removably attached to metal, curved, or flat surfaces. A curved or a V-shaped notch along the length of the bottom side allows the level to be centered when placed along the center axis of a pipe, and then held there via the magnetic strips. The leveling vials may be vertically placed in relation to the elongated body, horizontally placed, positioned at 45 degrees, and/or have an adjustable angle. The elongated body has storage compartments for storing various accessories such as pencils or markers, and each compartment as a lid for retaining the accessories. A pencil sharpener is embedded within the elongated main body for handy sharpening of the stored pencils.
