METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEALING A BAG OPENING
An apparatus for sealing a bag opening includes a retaining member and a slide member adapted to slide into said retaining member. The retaining member includes an elongated opening that extends through at least one open end of the retaining member. A bottom stop is provided at an end of the retaining member that is opposite to the open end of the retaining member. Alternatively, the retaining member includes an elongated opening that extends through both ends of the retaining member and the bottom stop is omitted. The slide member includes at least one protruding portion that protrudes from the retaining member when the slide member is slid into and retained by the retaining member. The slide member abuts the bottom stop of the retaining member when such bottom stop is provided within the retaining member. In cases in which the retaining member is provided with two open ends, the slide member may include two protruding portions that protrude from both open ends of the retaining member.
SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING FRAGILE OBJECTS
According to certain embodiments, a system for transporting fragile objects includes an outer box and an inner box. The outer box is suspended within the inner box by one or more vibration isolators. The inner box includes a mounting system adapted to facilitate mounting one or more objects within the inner box.
Modular storage container
A storage container having a base storage compartment configured to receive a divider by which the storage compartment is divided into two or more sub-compartments, wherein divider comprises one or more engagement features for selectively engaging with the storage container, the storage container further having a retainer lid configured to retain a divider within an engagement surface of the storage container.
Peelable Sandwich Bag
This design for a peelable sandwich bag facilitates the consumption of a sandwich without having to directly touch the sandwich. The bag consists of two stacked rectangular layers that are sealed together at the bottom edge and only partly sealed on the side edges starting from the bottom. This creates three free edges that peel away from the sandwich during consumption. A plurality of magnetic strips mounted near the free edges enables the enclosure of the bag around the sandwich prior to consumption. The combination of temperature resistant plastic and sufficiently weighty magnets enables the sandwich bag to be dishwasher safe and reusable.
CONTAINER WITH SECURITY LOCK
A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may be comprised of an exterior cover and a bottom ring acting as a single unit. Once inward protrusions on the exterior cover vertically aligns with indentation spaces on the bottom ring of the lid, a specific pressing and then twisting motion may be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication.
Shaker bottle with magnetic elements for temporary securement to exercise equipment
A protein shaker bottle or similar beverage container that has one or more magnets on its outer surface. The magnets allow for the shaker bottle to magnetically adhere to a metallic or ferrous surface. The inventive bottle allows a user to quickly and temporarily adhere the bottle to a piece of gym equipment on a gym floor.
Vertically Stacked Pill Container
Disclosed herein are a stacked pill container, and method of dispensing timed doses of one or two pill types, the container comprising: an upper unit stacked atop an inverted lower unit, each unit comprising a circular side wall housing an inner cavity for storing the same or a different pill type. The lower unit is inverted to temporarily adhere to the bottom end of the upper unit, e.g. via metal plates with magnets. Both units comprise a flat dispensing cap, enabling the user to dispense a dose of pills from either end of the container, and store the container upright. The upper and lower unit further comprise outer markings indicating the type of pill, or time of day to take the dose. In an embodiment, the upper unit displays a sun indicating the morning dose; and the lower unit displays a moon indicating the evening dose.
Foldable box connection structure, foldable box and method of using the same
The invention provides a foldable box connection structure, a foldable box and a method of using the same. The foldable box connection structure comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a first hinge, a first top plate, a seam cover plate and a positioning plate. The first hinge is used to connect the first top plate and the second side plate. The seam cover plate can be folded to cover the first hinge, and the seam cover plate and the positioning plate are configured to secure the first hinge. The foldable box includes the above-mentioned connection structure. In the present invention, the first top plate is hooked by the first hinge and the seam cover plate, and a second top plate is hooked by a third hinge, so that the foldable box has a fixed structure. That is, in an expanded configuration, the first top plate and the second top plate are tightly attached to a top of the second side plate to prevent forming gaps between the first top plate and the second side plate, and between the second top plate and the second side plate, which greatly increases the compactness of the box and makes the box have simple and beautiful contour.
Transport, storage and display case and system
A transport, storage and display case (10) and a transport storage and display case system of stacking compartments that can be interconnected and formed into multiple orientations according to the user's needs. The system is convertible between a display configuration and a stacked transport/storage configuration. Each case has rabbet ledges (62, 64) at its upper and lower edges for cooperating with adjacent cases. The outer surface of each case has one or more magnets provided to facilitate secure interaction between adjacent cases arranged in the display configuration.
CAP ASSEMBLIES WITH MAGNETIC CLOSURE RETENTION MECHANISMS AND DRINK CONTAINERS INCLUDING THE SAME
A cap assembly for a container, including a base defining a base plane, a drink spout separate from the base and extending away from the base, a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout, and a closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in any one of a plurality of stowed positions against the base.
