A convertible placemat and carrier having a generally planar flexible sheet with a center portion for supporting an object, preferably food and beverage products. The carrier also includes a plurality of spaced-apart slits arranged in a plurality of concentric rings extending radially outward from the center portion of the sheet. The remaining portion of the sheet between the slits is interconnected to form a lattice structure. The sheet is moveable from a flat planar configuration to an expanded configuration in the form of a carrier. An object is held in the center of the sheet and handle portions are moveable upwardly away from the center portion and the sheet expands via the lattice structure to form a carrier for holding the object placed in the center portion.

A cup with an internal sleeve, and an external decorative sleeve made of connector bricks and a base. The internal sleeve has a hollow interior to form a cup to contain liquids if desired. The internal sleeve has a first end and a second end, and a first connector at the second end. The base has a second connector for connecting the base to the first connector of the sleeve. The external decorative sleeve is defined by a plurality of clamp bricks having a first bed with studs, and a second bed with recesses, the studs being capable of receipt into the recesses to interconnect the bricks to form an external decorative sleeve. The invention also includes the method of assembling and disassembling the cup into the internal sleeve, the base and the bricks.

A container is in an integral form, and has a body, two handles, a handle combination structure, a folding combination structure, and two lids. The handles are connected with the body, and connecting portions between the handles and body are bendable. The handle combination structure is formed on the handles to selectively combine the handles. The folding combination structure is formed on the handles and the connecting plates to selectively combine the handles and the body. The lids are connected with the body, are respectively located in spaces which are respectively formed in the body and the handles, and connecting portions between the body and the lids are bendable.

An outdoor patio box assembly includes a box body and a lid. The box body has a front wall, side walls, rear wall, and base with feet and spacers for nesting. The lid features channels, standoffs, and water drainage elements. The assembly facilitates efficient stacking and nesting through tapered walls, interlocking mechanisms, and strategic placement of features. The lid may have an inlaid design with a raised skirt, creating a containment area for stacked assemblies. The box body and lid are designed to enhance stability during stacking, improve storage and shipping efficiency, and provide effective water drainage.

A vessel includes a container, a bracket, a bail and a grip. The container has a cavity configured to hold a liquid. The bracket extends from the container and comprises an arm spaced from the container. The arm has opposed first and second ends, and the arm is connected to the container only at its first end. The bail is pivotally connected to the container and has a grip thereon. The vessel is configured so that the grip has a position that is in contact with the arm, thereby defining, in combination, a composite vessel handle. A method of supporting a vessel includes pivoting the bail so that the grip is in contact with the arm and positioning at least a portion of a hand on the grip.

A lightweight portable heating device consisting of a container assembly and lid assembly that house a tub assembly for the purpose of heating liquids and food submerged in aforementioned liquids by means of a multi-fuel burner. Container assembly provides for several structures that improve ergonomics and handling of the lightweight portable heating device. For instance, container assembly includes an integrated handle that surrounds the container assembly proximate the top portion of the container assembly and is molded into the container assembly. Integrated handle allows for the ease of moving of the lightweight portable heating device by personnel. Proximate the bottom of container assembly are lifting handles that enable the lifting of the device above shoulder level while also functioning as a tie down point.
