A blender includes: a base unit, the base unit including a vent in fluid communication with external air; a motor mounted within the base unit and configured to drive blender blades; a cooling fan mounted in the base unit to draw air though the vent and past the motor; and a conduit formed within the base unit that provides an exit path for air drawn past the motor by the fan. The conduit follows a path that serially includes a reservoir beneath the fan, a first choke point, a first chamber, a second choke point, a second chamber, a third choke point, and a third chamber in fluid communication with an exit port at the rear of the base unit.

A bowl assembly includes a main bowl having a spherical outer surface, a removable median extension having a spherical outer surface and a lid having a protruding grip profile. The main bowl is made of an opaque plastic material in the form of a spherical zone having a silicone sealant applied to a bottom of the main bowl to ensure stability of the bowl assembly during use and which is provided at a top with four “L” shaped grooves. The removable median extension is open at a top and a bottom thereof is attached to the main bowl and is made of transparent plastic. The removable median extension is joined with the main bowl by sliding protrusions and grooves. Positioned above the removable median extension there is the lid which has a grip profile.

A storage box that includes a container and a lid, which includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a top plate anchor and a movable latch. The bottom plate includes an arm that the height of its left section is bigger than the height of its right section, and its inclined middle section inclines from left to right. The movable latch includes a protrusion that its left section is flat and the inclined right section inclines and descends from left to right. The movable latch is designed to be positioned between the top plate and the bottom plate, in a way that the horizontal protrusion is inserted under the horizontal arm of the bottom plate and the movable latch can be moved from right to left and back.

This invention is used for sanitary purposes and will be a health barrier in restaurants and cooking facilities where the spreading of germs are caused by continuous public handling of the same article and when cross-contamination is at a high risk while cooking.

A storage box that includes a container, a lid for covering and sealing the container and a circular seal that encloses the lid. The lid includes a bottom plate, a top push plate, a cam body with sloping teeth, and a spring. The bottom plate includes a base that contains the spring and the cam body. The base includes stopping members and the top push plate includes sloping pushing teeth. The spring is positioned inside the base of the bottom plate and the cam body is placed on the spring. The top push plate is assembled on the bottom plate and the cam body is connected to the top push plate in a way that enables a rotational movement and a limited relative vertical movement. The lid is designed to be in a retracted close position or in an extended open position.

The present invention, referred to as “STACKABLES,” consists of 3 or 4 bowls/strainers stacked upright using a twist and lock mechanism to raise, lower and lock in place for stability. These molded oval telescopic posts fit into or onto the post molded in the bottom of each bowl/strainer. When upright, the post is secured in an approximately ½ inch oval choke to keep in an elevated position, and when condensed, a 90-degree turn allows the post to slide into or onto the oval post above or below. Each bowl has an accompanying airtight lid.

A system for deterring undesirable behavior may include a container with a sensor. The container may hold food that is prohibited for a user of the system, but not for non-users of the system. The sensor may be configured to sense information that is unique to the user. A microprocessor may receive a signal from the sensor and determine whether a user or a non-user of the system has engaged with the sensor. If the user activates the sensor, the microprocessor may provide a personalized cue to the user through an output device to deter the user from eating the prohibited food in the container.

A storage container kit with an insulated bowl and lid. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a storage container kit comprising a first container having insulated walls, a first lid having an insulated portion extending between an upper surface and a lower surface of the first lid and configured to establish a pressurized seal with the first container, a second container configured to be housed within an interior portion of the first container, and a second lid configured to be removably coupled to an upper circumference of the second container. In some embodiments, the first lid is configured to be selectively interfaced with the first container to create a pressurized seal between a gasket, inner side walls of the first container, and a plug being removably coupled to a pressure release aperture in the first lid.
