In a cable packaging system and method a retainer within a container retains coiled cables in a preferred orientation, such as a vertical orientation, with the coil axis of the coiled cable directed longitudinally toward sidewalls of the container and a diameter line of a plane defined by the coil directed toward the top and bottom of the container. The retainer may include a resilient material, such as a foam material, to allow insertion of a coiled cable and return at least partially to a neutral, pre-insertion, position to thereby engage and retain the coiled cable.

Multi-compartment containers including multi-compartment cans, canisters, boxes and bags and methods for using the same are disclosed. Multi-compartment containers that provide access to one portion of the contents until depleted while maintaining a seal and thus protecting the freshness or potency, of the contents on another portion allows products to be packaged and sold in a way that maintains freshness and potency longer. Each compartment of the multi-compartment containers can be configured to have either a single-use or re-sealable seal.

An apparatus pertains to a product preparation featuring a permeable body comprising an extraction chamber(s), along with a flexible, free-motion mechanism structure appropriately coupled to the body. The apparatus is equipped with a sealing mechanism at an opening, allowing for the insertion of a predetermined portion of ingredients. In some embodiments, to enhance filtration, a sleeve filter may be inserted within the container. When the container is submerged in a vessel to a level suitable for extracting a beverage, it securely affixes to the inner wall of the vessel through the flexible structure. The depth within a vessel is adjustable to control the product quality.

A beverage container lid assembly and insert enable a user to selectively control contained beverage movements when outfitted upon a beverage container. The lid assemblies all include a primary lid form having a primary beverage outlet and a secondary lid attachment cooperably engaged with the primary lid form for providing certain beverage flow diversion structure. The secondary lid attachments may be attachable to select surfacing of the primary lid forms for forming a beverage-receiving compartment intermediate the primary lid form and the secondary lid attachment in which compartment heat transfer is effected by the structural characteristics of the defined space. The lid assembly may be attached to a beverage container such that the user may manually position the secondary lid attachment relative to the primary lid form for manually and selectively position beverage flow diversion structures relative to the primary beverage outlet.

A tool protecting and organizing device for drywall installers includes a housing. The housing has a top that is open. A lid is configured to reversibly couple to the housing to close the top. A wall is coupled to the housing. The wall extends between opposing sides of the housing to define first and second compartments. The first compartment is configured to position items, such as a sanding block and a screw gun, to retain the items in the housing. A plate is coupled to and extends between the wall and a second end of the housing to define an upper chamber and a lower chamber within the second compartment. Each of a plurality of slots that is positioned through the plate is configured to insert a portion of a respective tool, such as a trowel and a mud pan, to fixedly position the tool in the housing.
