Delivery apparatus and assemblies are shown and described. In one embodiment, a delivery apparatus includes a container adapted to support the concealed article, a central tube, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism may release the container from the central tube and protrude through the exposed end. The result is an improved hidden display and assembly for enhancing efficient, effective delivery of a hidden item inside a food item(s) or the like.

An inventive vacuum storage container for long term storage of perishable and non-perishable items, incorporating a pump, power supply, controller, sensor, top cover, expandable seal, pressure sensor and base plate. The controller activates the pump based on signals from said sensor to maintain a vacuum state within an interior vacuum chamber formed by said top cover, expandable seal, and base plate. The container is configured to effectively maintain vacuum pressure by activating a pump when the lack of vacuum pressure is indicated.

The holiday candy tree is a decorative item. The holiday candy tree is a figurine. The holiday candy tree forms an image that presents an indicia representing the sentiment of a Christmas tree. The holiday candy tree is formed with a plurality of pans in which a foodstuff is distributed. This disclosure assumes that the foodstuff is candy. The holiday candy tree comprises a plurality of plates, a plurality of spacers, a pedestal, and a stanchion. The stanchion interconnects the plurality of plates, the plurality of spacers, and the pedestal. The plurality of spacers separate the plurality of plates such that the plurality of plates from an image that presents an indicia representing the sentiment of the limbs of the Christmas tree. The plurality of pans are formed in the plurality of plates.

A multilayered, flexible, and generally flat pouch for transporting and dispensing chocolate, including first and second elongated generally rectangular multilayered portions sealed together to yield a deformable generally rectangular fluid-tight sachet defining an internal volume and separating the internal volume from an external environment. The sachet further defines a top end, an oppositely disposed bottom end, and first and second sides extending therebetween. An untempered chocolate portion is contained within the internal volume. A tear notch is formed through at least one side and disposed adjacent the top end and a weakened tear strip extends between the second side and the bottom end. The sachet is substantially fluid-tight, and first and second elongated generally rectangular multilayered portions each further comprise an outer layer, an inner high-slip layer, a printable binding layer disposed between the inner and outer layers, and a metal vapor barrier layer disposed between the inner and outer layers. When actuated, the first weakened tear strip produces a corner pour spout through which molten chocolate may be extracted from the sachet. When actuated, the second weakened tear strip produces a central aperture through which molten chocolate may be extracted from the sachet.

A package for convenient dispensing of multiple types of solid pourable product. The package comprises a single cardboard blank having a plurality of side panels, a first compartment slide, a second compartment slide, a separator panel, and a support tab. The side panels can be formed into a box having a first compartment and a second compartment. The compartments have a common front panel with a pair of apertures for each of the compartments respectively. The apertures are sized to dispense the multiple types of solid pourable product therethrough. The slides are independently moveable to selectively block and unblock the apertures. The separator panel is between the compartments and is at least partially defined by an inner tab to one edge of the panel. The inner tab is adhesively connected to the interior of the front panel. The support tab is disposed to press the slides against the front panel.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

A device is comprised of an egg-shaped housing and a lighting module. The egg-shaped housing is comprised of an inside surface and an outside surface. The lighting module is coupled to the egg-shaped housing and is comprised of a light emitting diode, a battery to power the light emitting diode, and a switch to control whether power from the battery is applied to the light emitting diode. The light emitting diode generates light that shines on the inside surface of the egg-shaped housing, the light being visible outside the egg-shaped housing.
