An easy grip handle for a portable container comprises a handle connected with a hinge and rotating on the side of the container itself to define lying positions and at least one raised position with respect to the same container; and has the handle maintained, at least in a raised position or in an almost vertical position, by at least one permanent magnet acting on the rotation of the handle, close to the rotation hinge, in combination with at least one ferromagnetic element positioned in the handle or in the container to define, by magnetic attraction when facing the permanent magnet, at least one said raised or almost vertical position of the handle on the portable container itself. Different constructive forms are described with various arrangements of the permanent magnet elements and corresponding ferromagnetic elements.

A container device that has an outer shell with an opening that is sealed by a closure mechanism. The closure mechanism can include magnetic strips that are configured to partially or wholly seal the opening.

The invention is directed to a polymeric film web, a carrier film, and a magnetic member. The carrier film comprises an inner polyethylene terephthalate layer and an outer plastomer layer. The magnetic member and the carrier film are layered onto the polymeric film web to form a closure member. The outer plastomer layer is adjacent the magnetic member and the carrier film extends beyond an upper edge and/or a lower edge of the magnetic member. The closure is heat sealed such that the seal at the interface of the first carrier film and the second carrier film is a peelable seal, the seal at the interface of the first film web and the first carrier film is a permanent seal, and the seal at the interface of the second film web and the second carrier film is a permanent seal.

A smoking materials packaging device may be moved between an open and closed position, and may include a back panel movingly coupled to a first side panel via a first hinge. A front panel may be movingly coupled to a side of the first side panel opposite to the back panel via a second hinge. A second side panel may be movingly coupled to a side of the front panel opposite to the first side panel via a third hinge. A flap panel may be movingly coupled to a side of the second side panel opposite to the front panel via a fourth hinge. Smoking material(s) may be coupled to the front and back panels. A first magnetic element may be coupled to the flap panel and a second magnetic element may be coupled to the back panel, and the magnetic elements may secure the device in the closed position.

A storage box for a refrigerator at an entrance according to an embodiment of the present invention, may comprise: a base; first side walls erected at the top front end and the top rear end of the base, respectively; and second side walls erected at the top left end and the top right end of the base, respectively, wherein the first side wall may include a plurality of first blocks stacked in the vertical direction and arranged in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of connectors movably connecting the adjacent first blocks in the horizontal direction.

A system and method for sealing containers such as bags using a sealing apparatus including handles connected to sealing strips, such as magnetic strips, for pulling apart the sealing strips to allow insertion of the container, which may be a bag holding a substance such as food or non-food items. The sealing apparatus can be provided as a separate device, or made integral with the container.

A system and method for securely storing valuables using a multiple level locking structure. The structure may include two completely separable parts generally termed a lid and a vessel. Both the lid and vessel may employ a lock and key system together with a twist-off mechanism. Complementary matched magnets are placed on the lid and vessel to hold the two pieces together when first coupled and again after twisting together. The lid and vessel may be formed as a rigid, cylindrical or slightly conical container, typically made of metal, glass, ceramic, or plastic, with a wide mouth or opening.

An improved connected dispenser system where at least two dispensers of the same or different geometric shapes are joined together to allow a user to conveniently carry related compounds together in the connected dispenser system.

A scoop attaching device is a set of nestable measuring cups with attachable magnets, which allow each cup to store within the next larger size cup and stay together while being stored on the lid within a storage container, keeping the measuring cups out of the storage container material until ready for use.

A container with a magnetic self-aligning sleeve includes a container that defines an interior receiving cavity with an opening at one end adapted to receive liquid or solid, and a base at an opposing end. The container additionally includes a sleeve defining a container receiving interior cavity with an opening at one end receiving the container, and a base at an opposing end. Of note, the container receiving cavity has an inside diameter that exceeds an outside diameter of the container. Finally, the container includes a first pair of magnetic arrays. A first one of the first pair of magnetic arrays has a primary polarity and is included with the base of the container. A second one of the first pair of magnetic arrays has a secondary polarity opposite the primary polarity and is included with the base of the sleeve.
