Handheld articulated user-assistive device with behavior control modes
A handheld tool includes a handle; an implement mount configured to detachably accept and to rigidly hold a user-assistive implement; an actuator assembly mounted to the handle to physically manipulate the implement mount relative to the handle; a first sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the handle; a second sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the user-assistive implement; a controller disposed in or on the handle and coupled to the actuator assembly and the first and second sensors; and memory coupled to the controller. The memory stores instructions for identifying a type of the user-assistive implement attached to the implement mount, selecting a behavior routine based upon the type of the user-assistive implement identified, and manipulating the user-assistive implement relative to the handle according to the behavior routine to aid performance of a task with the handheld tool.
BEVERAGE HOLDER
In some embodiments, a beverage holder includes a beverage receptacle, an accessory receptacle, and a shaft. The beverage receptacle defines a cylindrical volume and includes a flat base for supporting a beverage container, the flat base having a circular shape with a first diameter; a first arm having a second diameter and at least partially encircling the cylindrical volume; and a spine connecting the base and the arm. The accessory receptacle defines a rectangular volume and is connected to the base and to the first arm of the beverage receptacle. The shaft includes a first section connected to the base, and a second section with a pointed end for securing the beverage holder into the ground where the first and second sections are connectable by a threaded section.
Spill-preventing holder for a disposable cup with a detachable lid
A spill-preventing holder, for a disposable cup to which is temporarily attached a lid that has an orifice in its top surface, includes: (a) a container having an interior volume and an upper rim that provides access to this interior volume which is adapted to accommodate the cup and its attached lid so that the lid is located proximate to the container's upper rim, and (b) a locking ring adapted, when the cup with its attached lid is situated within the container's interior volume, to: (i) detachably attach to the container, (ii) contact and apply pressure to the lid so as temporarily secure it to the cup, and (iii) provide access to the region of the environment surrounding the lid's orifice so as to allow one's mouth to be placed on the orifice for drinking a beverage contained within the cup.
Buckling structure for bottle cage
Disclosed is aa buckling structure for a bottle cage, which includes a main frame and a buckling structure, wherein the main frame is used for setting a bottle. The buckling structure is connected to the main frame, and the main frame is positioned and arranged on a setting object through the buckling structure. The buckling structure includes a female fastener and a male fastener, wherein the male fastener is connected to the main frame, and the male fastener is located between the main frame and the female fastener. The male fastener is detachably slidably arranged on the female fastener, and the female fastener is arranged on the setting object, so that the main frame is positioned and arranged on the setting object, and the main frame is easily installed and with high positioning reliability.
BUCKET KOOZY WITH ATTACHED INSULATED LID
An absorbent, insulative sleeve with an attached absorbent insulated closing lid for a beverage bucket or pail that holds multiple beverages is disclosed. Particularly, the present device relates to a sleeve with an attached closing lid for a bucket, as might be served in a bar or restaurant, filled with ice or cold water for keeping beverages cold at a customer's table. The lid is moveable between a covered and uncovered position, and when in a covered position, prevents heat transfer to or from the enclosed multiple beverages. The lid may be closed using mechanisms such as Velcro, hook and loop, snap or the like.

DRINK HOLDER WITH STABILIZER
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide drink holders with stabilizers. The drink holders adhere to a surface when set down yet release from the surface when raised. The drink holders include a base with a base seal. The base is slidably mounted to a beverage container assembly. When the beverage container assembly is in the fully lowered position, an inner seal engages the base forming a vacuum in a sealed air chamber between the base seal and the surface. When a user desires to take a drink, the user lifts the drink holder. As the beverage container assembly is raised the inner seal initially remains in sealed engagement with the base assembly. After a delay the airtight seal releases the vacuum within the air chamber.

INSULATED BEVERAGE SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
An insulated beverage sleeve assembly includes a cylinder that insertably receives a beverage container. A first flap is movably attached to the cylinder to close the cylinder. A second flap is movably attached to the cylinder to close the cylinder. A top insulator is releasably matable to the first flap to engage the beverage container. A bottom insulator is releasably matable to the second flap to engage the beverage container. Each of the top insulator and the bottom insulator are comprised of a thermally insulating material. A cooling sleeve is insertable into the cylinder to surround the beverage container. Moreover, the cooling sleeve is comprised of a refrigeratable material such that the cooling sleeve can be refrigerated thereby facilitating the cooling sleeve to cool the beverage container.
System formed by a container and a cover for transporting and consuming liquids
A system formed by a container and a cover for transporting and consuming liquids, including a container including: a main body; a first closure device at one end of the main body; a second closure device at an opposite end of the main body; and a cover that surrounds the main body of the container, the cover including a continuous band of elastic material forming a tubular body around the main body and an extension.
