A method for making a paper straw and includes a step of applying anti-bacterial and water-proof layer to both sides of a paper sheet; a step of flatting or scrolling the paper sheet to be round and tubular, and two sides of each paper sheet being overlapped to each other; a step of pressing and adhering the overlapped portion to form initial type of a paper straw; a step of drying the initial type of the paper straw to solidify the water-proof layer, and a step of cutting the initial type of the paper straw into multiple sections. The paper straw of the present invention is anti-bacterial, water-proof and is not deformed in liquid or beverage.

A wearable straw includes a spring spine and an overmolded body portion, the overmolded body portion including a tube portion, the tube portion running a length of the spring spine, the overmolded body portion molded over the spring spine. In one alternative, the spring spine has a first configuration where the spring spine is uncoiled and a second configuration where the spring spine is coiled.

An easily cleanable drinking assembly having a receptacle, a lid, and a coating with hydrophobic, oleophobic, and antimicrobial properties. The receptacle has an inner curved surface having a geometry with no edges, corners, or distinctly angled connections between sections, preventing any fluid or particles from remaining in these areas. The receptacle further has a wider opening and narrower end, allowing for ease of cleaning, so that a cleaning instrument can easily be inserted and easily reach all parts of the interior of the receptacle. Both the interior of the receptacle and the lid are coated with a coating with hydrophobic, oleophobic, and antimicrobial properties, repelling common fluids and particles, maintaining the cleanliness of the interior surfaces and improving the ease of cleaning.

The top portion and bottom portion of the receptacle/magazine includes a plurality of slots adapted to accommodate the cutleries. The side portions of the receptacle include openings that allow the flow of fluid during washing. The plurality of slotted walls provides ventilation and allows free insertion and withdrawal of the cutleries without any interference. The receptacle/magazine is anti-microbial in nature and adapted to sanitize the cutleries and other compatible articles accommodated thereto. The wide selections of receptacles allow the end user to customize the cutlery holder as per need.

There is provided a drinking or eating vessel comprising an inner surface that defines a volume for receiving liquid or solid food and an outer surface that supports an anti-microbial coating and a decorative layer, wherein the anti-microbial coating comprises a polymer formed at a curing temperature of less than 600 C. and contains anti-microbial particles distributed within said coating, wherein the anti-microbial coating and/or the decorative layer define an outermost surface that is exposed to contact by a user of the vessel, and wherein the anti-microbial particles provide anti-microbial protection across the entire surface of said outermost surface. Also provided are corresponding process for producing the drinking or eating vessel.

A beverage vessel having an antimicrobial rim is presented. Preferably, the rim comprises copper and the body of the vessel is composed of a different material than the rim. The antimicrobial rim kills microbes that come in contact with it from the ambient environment of from a user. The rim can be permanently disposed at the vessel or can be removably disposed.

An apparatus and methods for adaptable feeding systems comprising a graduated connector designed to accommodate varying sizes of food containers and feeding devices. The graduated connectors can be fixedly attached to feeding devices of varying sizes, featuring multiple connector steps on the opposite side to securely fit a wide range of food container sizes. Alternatively, the graduated connector can function as a standalone unit, with connector steps on both sides to accommodate varying sizes of both food containers and feeding devices. The apparatus offers flexibility and versatility, providing a secure and efficient feeding process for infants, children, and physically inhibited adults. The graduated connector's ability to handle different sizes of food containers and feeding devices makes it a convenient and user-friendly option for managing various feeding requirements, from home use to on-the-go situations, providing a practical and reliable solution that adapts to diverse feeding needs.

The present invention relates generally to the field of bedding configurations. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved bedding set that has at least one pillowcase, a duvet, a top sheet, a fitted sheet, a lining, a protective plastic layer, and a transportation bag that contains the ability to treat the bedding set for germs, viruses and bugs. At least two components of the bedding set may have a fastener assembly that allows each component to remain attached to one another such that the set needs not be re-made after a night of sleep. Further, the disinfection system within the transport bag contains a UV disinfection light and sprayer that receives a cartridge that receives a solution for treating the bedding.

The present invention teaches a bedside table with a disposable hygienic tray which has thereon multiple layers of film. Each layer of film in turn has adhesive, or anti-bacterial compounds, or bacterial detection compounds, or combinations thereof. In use, for example in a hospital, health care setting, home care setting or for home or many other contexts of use, each layer is removed in sequence, exposing a new layer underneath. After a suitable period of usage, the new layer is in turn removed to expose yet another later. When the final layer is removed the disposable tray is removed from the bedside table and replaced with a fresh tray. In embodiments, the core bedside table unit may sit on the floor, mount to a wall rail, or may have a projection dimensioned and configured to pass between the bottom of a mattress and the top of a box spring.

A manufacturing method of an antimicrobial and adhesion-proof titanium tableware having a contact portion for contacting foods, food ingredients, drinking water, beverages, or body parts of a user. The manufacturing method includes a preparation step implemented by using a titanium substrate to produce a tableware preform; a preparation step implemented by using a titanium substrate to produce a tableware preform; a surface treatment step implemented by washing a surface of the tableware preform and removing a primary oxidation layer on the surface of the tableware preform; and an oxidation step which includes: placing the tableware preform in a vacuum calcination furnace, heating the tableware preform to reach a temperature ranging from 700 C. to 850 C., and introducing oxygen for allowing one part of the surface of the tableware preform corresponding to the contact portion to be exposed to the oxygen for 3 hours to 12 hours.
