In some embodiments, a system comprises a mat body characterized by a front side, a back side and a thickness; a plurality of anchors, each anchor comprising an anchor block having an aperture characterized by an aperture diameter, a suction cup having a sealing surface and an outer surface, and a stem that is coaxial with the suction cup and connects the suction cup to the anchor block. Each anchor may be disposed through the thickness, such that its anchor block is on the front side and its suction cup extends from the back side. The system may further comprise an elongated tether that is removably coupleable to one of the plurality of anchors, and the elongated tether may comprise an anchor end having a generally spherical anchor terminus characterized by an anchor diameter that is greater than the aperture diameter.

The invention relates to a tray covering element essentially constituted of a first portion (2), which covers the upper surface of a tray (5), in the manner of a placemat, and a second portion (3), which creates an outer edge for the first portion and which is envisaged to cover the outer and upper edge (50) of the tray. The second portion (3) comprises a third portion (30) located laterally and protruding from the edge (50) and designed to bend downwards and fold around the edge of the tray (5) and cover the lower edge so that the user does not touch the tray when holding it, only the tray covering element.

A convertible LED table tray comprising a central compartment, wherein the central compartment further comprises a upper deck; a drawer movable relatively in and out the central compartment; a first side compartment connected to the central compartment; a second side compartment opposed to the first side compartment connected to the central compartment; at least one light-emitting diode light on the upper deck; a charger plates; and a means for holding the charger plates on the upper deck of the central compartment.

An overlay system for a table having a center area includes a plurality of elongated arms each having a distal end and a proximal end. A connector is fixed proximate the proximal end of each arm and adapted to connect to the connector of an adjacent arm. With the arms each mutually connected at their proximal ends, and the proximal ends positions proximate the center area of the table, a regular geometric shape is formed in the center area of the table and the arms extend mutually equidistantly about the table to define a seating area for a place setting and a guest. Some embodiments of the invention include a central section that has a plurality of the connectors to which the arms are connected. Alternately, the arms may be integrally formed with the central section such that the overlay system is effectively a single piece of flexible material.

A feeding mat and methods for its use are disclosed. In some embodiments, the feeding mat comprises a base having an upper surface, a lower surface, an inner region and an outer region. In some embodiments, an outer wall is integrally formed in the upper surface forming a dish suitable to contain a food product. In some embodiments, the inner region is essentially planar and forms a reference plane generally parallel to the flat surface. In some embodiments, the outer region has a slope with respect to the inner region and reference plane in the range of around 1.0 to 10.0.

A tableware system is provided that includes a placemat with non-integrated tableware. The placemat includes a substantially planar bottom surface that forms a partial vacuum when provided in contact with an underlying surface and a first fastening mechanism provided at a top surface of the placemat. The tableware includes a second fastening mechanism that corresponds to the first fastening mechanism, the second fastening mechanism being detachably coupled to the first fastening mechanism. A lid is provided that secures to the tableware and includes another first fastening mechanism provided at a top surface thereof. A lock is provided that fixedly secures the first fastening mechanism and the second fastening mechanism. The lock may include a release mechanism that disengages the lock upon application of a force thereto. Alternatively, the lock may be removable by a separate tool that disengages the lock to allow the tableware and the placemat to be detached.

A changeable placemat system is provided. The changeable placemat system may have a rigid unit and at least one flexible unit wherein the flexible unit may be selectively and temporarily inserted over the rigid unit for display and protection. As a result, a user may select between flexible units having various ornamental designs. The present device allows for both easy cleaning of a placemat as well and allowing a user to select different patterns to display on the placemat.

Plastic material, which contains encapsulated cells, and also includes printing, various embodiments having printing in various places and various methods of printing and this combination of the physical material and the printing transforms the end products from wrapping used for shipping and protection of products from damages to also new useful and attractive products themselves as printed bubblewrap that while allowing for use for packaging also expands the use as products themselves such as for example character driven or branded toys or other consumer products themselves.
