A rope dispensing system for dispensing a continuous rope from a compressed rope cartridge. The device has a canister for storage of the rope cartridge, a resealable lid with a grommet for passing the rope through the lid, and a replaceable cutting mechanism for cutting the rope. Preferably the rope cartridge is shrink-wrapped to fit within case and keep rope from unraveling.

A dispenser for dispensing an edible product, preferably in the form of a tape, and more preferably a roll of tape. The dispenser includes a dispenser body in which the product is contained, and a pusher which engages a surface of the product to push the product out of an opening in the dispenser body.

A window insulation apparatus includes a cylindrical core having opposite top and bottom ends. A plastic sheet has opposite top and bottom ends and is pleated along parallel fold lines that extend parallel to the top end of the sheet to form a folded sheet. Adhesive is applied adjacent the top end of the sheet. The folded sheet is wound around the cylindrical core so that the top end of the folded sheet is near the top end of the cylindrical core. A housing receives the core and the sheet wound on the core. The housing includes an elongate opening from which the sheet can be unwound. A cutting assembly is mounted to the housing substantially adjacent the elongate opening and can be moved parallel to the opening for cutting the sheet that has been dispensed from the opening.

A rope dispensing apparatus for rapidly dispensing a continuous rope from a compressed rope cartridge. The apparatus includes a canister for storage of the rope cartridge, a resealable lid with an opening for passing the rope from the cartridge out of the canister through the lid, and a replaceable cutting mechanism for cutting the rope when a desired length has been dispensed. Preferably, the rope cartridge is shrink-wrapped to fit within the canister and keep the rope from unraveling while therein.

A plastic wrap container is provided with a cutter assembly attached to the body of the container. The cutter assembly can be attached in a recessed area or within the body and can be moved to a second deployed position for use.

Provided is a portable cup. The portable cup includes a cup body and end covers. One end of two ends of the cup body along a height direction of the cup body is provided with at least one cavity, another end of the two ends of the cup body along the height direction of the cup body is provided with at least two cavities, each cavity is configured to accommodate pet supplies, the end covers are connected to the two ends of the cup body along the height direction of the cup body, respectively, and each of the end covers can open or close a cavity at a respective one end of the two ends of the cup body along the height direction of the cup body.

Container includes a base portion having a bottom panel defining a compartment. A front base panel extends upwardly from the bottom panel. A back panel extends from the bottom panel. First and second base side tabs extend between the bottom panel, front base panel, and back panel to define opposing sides. A lid portion is moveable between open and dispensing positions. The lid portion includes a top panel hindgedly-coupled to the back panel, and a front lid panel extending from the top panel having a front lid panel pressure edge. The front lid panel in the dispensing position extends within the compartment along the front base panel to pinch a web material from the compartment between the front lid panel pressure edge and the bottom panel. The web material is dispensed between the front lid panel and the front base panel when the lid is in the dispensing position.

A device for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying strips, including a housing in which a coil chamber for receiving an active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying band is arranged, in which a gear transmission with a driven roller for conveying the band is mounted, and in which a separating device for separating the strips from the band is arranged. A method for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient carrying strips using such a device is also disclosed. An active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying band is arranged between the driven roller and the pressure roller. A shift clutch transmission having a manually actuatable trigger element is arranged upstream of the gear transmission. The driven roller can be driven in incremental strips by the shift clutch transmission. A device and method is disclosed for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying strips with a largely equal dosage are developed.

A food storage and dispensing device includes a food holder configured to contain a sliceable item of food on the support surface and between the side walls. The food holder has a dispensing opening located at the first end. The device further includes a lid moveably mounted over the food holder so as to have an open position and a closed position and an end cap, having an upper edge coupled to the lid at a location proximate to the first end. The end cap is oriented to cover the dispensing opening when the lid is in the closed position and has a lower edge opposite the upper edge, the lower edge configured to slice the sliceable item of food when the lid is moved from the open position to the closed position.

Aspects of the invention are directed toward a folded carton (90) for holding a roll (R) of film web (F) such as catering foil and the like, having an integral feature (S1. S2) to assist with retention of the roll (R) of film web (F), to mitigate against the roll undesirably, inadvertently, falling out of the folding carton (90) during use.
