A reusable holder includes a single length of durable elastic material, circular in cross-section, fashioned to form a first loop, a second loop, and a middle section handle assembly.

A beverage drinking device includes a body that supports a plurality of containers arranged relative to each other such that a liquid from a first one of the containers flows into an adjacent, second one of the containers while an individual consumes liquid from the second one of the containers.

An apparatus for holding a mobile device stationary within a storage region of a medium of transportation, such as the pocket of a commercial airline, includes a plurality of regions. Deformable regions of the apparatus and corresponding flaps permit a user to bend the regions to an open position, place the mobile device within the flaps, and the deformation in a reverse direction serves to snugly fit and hold the mobile device in-place. In other variations, a magnetic holder, tacky surfaces and other implementations serve to hold the mobile device in-place. In numerous designs, extensive features are provided to hold the mobile device within a pocket or other compartment of a transport vehicle. Numerous materials and combinations of materials serve to permit these implementations.

The container pouring assist system is a covering for a container that makes the container easier to pour by adding a handle to the bottom rear of the container and a spout to the top of the container. As non-limiting examples, the container may be a heavier container such as a 1 or 2 gallon milk and water container. Using the container pouring assist system the container may be lifted using the container's handle and then tilted using the handle provided by container pouring assist system. The spout may result in a more controlled, more predictable pour. The container pouring assist system may slip onto the container by placing a collar over the neck of the container and passing the base of container pouring assist system under the container until the container seats into the base.

A Fresnel lens is adapted to be attached to a button associated with an expandable grip structure for a mobile device. The expandable grip structure can include a collapsible membrane formable into a conical shaped when expanded from a flat position to an expanded position, the button formed at one end of the collapsible membrane and having an outer perimeter and a surface, and a base formed at a second end of the collapsible membrane. The collapsible membrane can be expanded and moved by the base along a back surface of a mobile device to a location on the back surface that enables the Fresnel lens to enhance radio frequency reception by the mobile device.

A utility case for electronic devices that has an exterior case, a shield having a concave face and a convex face, a magnet, a housing, a plate, an insert, an interior case, and an exterior case ring. The exterior case has a lock assembly at an interior face, which has a containing wall inner side. The lock assembly comprises an interior edge, and a containing wall interior face. The housing has a lip defined at the locking face. The insert fits within the magnet, the magnet adheres to the plate, and the lip contains the plate, when the housing is placed onto the lock assembly. The shield is positioned in between the insert and the exterior case, and the housing is positioned in between the interior case and the exterior case when the housing is placed onto the lock assembly.

Generally, aspects of the subject matter are directed to a carrying strap or a carrying loop suitable for use with a container. The carrying strap and loop include first and second attachment portions for securement to various locations on the container. In one example, a carrying strap has a stowed position, where the strap wraps around the container, to a carrying position, where the strap secures to a second location on the container such that the strap can be used to carry the container. In another example, a carrying loop has a deployed position, where the loop secures to only a first location on the container and is used to carry the container. The carrying straps and loops are suitably positioned as covering a label of the container, as a replacement for the label, or placed in any different position on the container from the label.

A carrier for transporting and storing elongate, flexible, buoyant articles having a body having a pre-determined length and a pre-determined width, and adapted to encircle the plurality of buoyant articles, a fastener cooperating with the body for releasably maintaining the body in an encircled position relative to the plurality of the buoyant articles, and a float connected to the body for providing buoyancy to the carrier when not carrying the buoyant articles.

An apparatus for gripping a handheld device is provided. The apparatus includes a base for affixing the apparatus to a first surface of the handheld device; at least one extension extending from the base at a first end of the extension; and a grip extending from the at least one extension at a second end of the extension, wherein the grip is oriented substantially parallel to the first surface of the handheld device, wherein the apparatus is adapted to receive a portion of at least one finger inserted between the grip and the handheld device, wherein the apparatus is adapted to receive a portion of each of two fingers inserted between the grip and the handheld device at opposite sides of the at least one extension, and wherein the grip is movable into at least one angled position where one end of the grip is pointed towards the base while an opposite end of the grip is pointed away from the base.

A case for a portable electronic device includes a case shell having a back panel and at least one side wall extending from the back panel to form a cavity, in combination with the back panel, for receiving the portable electronic device; a handle coupled to a back panel of the case shell; and at least one magnet positioned within the handle and configured for mounting the case and portable electronic device, when present, on an external surface made of a material attracted to the at least one magnet.
