An apparatus having one or more cavities and corresponding one or more protrusions is disclosed. The one or more cavities and corresponding one or more protrusions can be flattened to cause the apparatus to adhere to an object. Thus, the apparatus can be used in applications where adherence of the apparatus to an object is desired. The apparatus can also act as a protective layer to buffer and protect a surface of the object. It is also possible to maintain the surface's visual appearance, if beneficial. The apparatus can also be used in applications where buffering and protection from friction is not needed.

A beverage container coaster with a coaster housing having a substantially horizontal palm portion that contains a beverage area for supporting a beverage container in a substantially level fashion. At least one finger extension is attached to said coaster housing. The finger extension may be removably attachable to the beverage container coaster housing and may also be rotatably attached and moveable and pliable for changing their position and shape. Sound and/or light generators may also be incorporated into the beverage container coaster and used under the control of an electronic controller contained within the coaster housing.

In a box system for storing bottles therein that includes a box, at least one longitudinal divider sheet and at least one latitudinal divider sheet. The divider sheets each consist of a non-corrugated absorbent high density wood pulpboard having a thickness in a range of between 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm and a basis weight in a range of between 410 gsm to 1240 gsm. The divider sheets are divided into a plurality of coaster units. Each coaster unit is printed with collateral branding indicia. The coaster units are separated by linear perforations to facilitate separation of the coaster units so that when the coaster units are separated they are usable as drink coasters.

One or more embodiments for a rolling drink coaster. The rolling drink coaster includes a top assembly coupled to a bottom plate. A plurality of rollers are disposed on an underside of the rolling drink coaster that allow the drink coaster to roll and to be movable over a surface. An interior cavity of the rolling drink coaster is configured to hold a beverage container. The rolling drink coaster includes one or more stabilizer pieces configured to support and stabilize the beverage container when located inside of the rolling drink coaster. The rolling drink coaster may have an angled top body or a straight cylindrical shaped top body. In one embodiment, a bottom plate is fastened to a bottom surface of the top assembly of the rolling drink coaster. The bottom plate is configured to receive one or more axel assemblies that surround each roller and allow the drink coaster to move.

A cover, and more particularly, a portable modular cover that may be assembled outdoors to keep insects and/or the elements from contacting food or other items spread out across small or large areas, and that may also be disassembled for ease of storage and transport, is disclosed. The portable modular cover provides solutions for protecting such food or other items through separate embodiments that are lightweight, durable, easy to assemble, and easy to travel with for virtually any occasion. When disassembled, the portable modular cover can easily fit within any suitable carrying case for ease of transport. Assembling the components together can be done on the fly at any outdoor event without requiring extraneous tools such as wrenches or screwdrivers. Opening and closing the portable modular cover can be done quickly and with ease to minimize exposure of food or other contents when accessing. Other optional accessories such as internal light fixtures can accommodate its use at evening outdoor events.

In some embodiments, a method includes providing a flexible mat; wrapping the flexible mat around a crossbar of an infant or toddler seat; affixing at least two of a plurality of suction cups; providing a tether configured to secure an object; and coupling the tether to an anchor block by disposing an anchor terminus through an aperture, forming a compression fit. The flexible mat may have a mat body characterized by a front side, back side and thickness; and a plurality of anchors. Each anchor may include an anchor block having an aperture configured to receive a tether, and a suction cup. 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 back side may be adjacent a surface of the crossbar. The method may include securing an object to the tether.
