A bag expander is preliminarily inserted into a bag when the bag is in a compressed condition, such as for shipping and/or storage. The expander is expanded within the bag when the bag is to be expanded such as for purposes of display for sale. The expander includes side walls which are positionable against the bag interior and coupling members articularly connected together and to the side walls. One or more rubber bands or other spring mechanisms are coupled to the members to urge them apart when the expansion is desired. The members are folded when the bag is compressed and expanded by the rubber band or the like to expand the bag to its expanded displayable condition. Sliding mechanisms are connected either (a) on and within the interior of the members or (b) between the members and the side walls to provide a selected sliding movement (a) amongst the members themselves or (b) between the members and the side walls to enable the expander to be placed in its collapsed or extended position.

A stuffer for clothing articles such as bags and purses is disclosed. One embodiment the purse stuffer is a sheet of an elegant, double quilted fabric that is stitched together to form a foldable stuffer. In one embodiment, the stuffer may be folded along one or more perpendicular folding stitch lines. In another embodiment, the stuffer may be folded along one or more, preferably four, parallel folding stitch lines. The stitch lines and the folding along increases the effect of the padding so as to form stuffers of varying sizes and shapes with a single construction. The various embodiments may be manufactured in different sizes to accommodate different size purses or bags.

A case for tailor's chalk includes: (a) a generally triangular base with a central portion, a retaining pocket along one edge thereof, said pocket opening toward the center of said triangular base and a pair of offset base hinge elements adjacent the pocket located adjacent opposed ends of said pocket along said one edge of said base; and (b) a generally triangular lid shaped and adapted to mate with the base and hinged thereto by a pair of mating offset lid hinge elements located along one edge of said generally triangular lid, said lid hinge elements being snap-fit mateable with said base hinge elements, the offset between said generally triangular base and said generally triangular lid being sufficient to define a storage cavity for the chalk in a closed position, the lid having a central portion opposing the central portion of the base in said closed position, the lid being coupled to the base so as to be rotatable with respect thereto to an open position where the lid is rotated by 180? with respect to the closed position and the chalk is accessible and wherein further the lid is rotatable with respect to the base to a work stand position where the lid is rotated by more than 270? with respect to the closed position such that the base is in an erect open position leaning at least slightly rearwardly where the chalk is accessible to a user.

A folding shelf system for storing clothing in an article of luggage includes an article of luggage for storing objects. A shelf unit is selectively positioned in the article of luggage and clothing is selectively positioned on the shelf unit. The shelf unit is selectively positioned in a deployed position to facilitate the clothing to be accessible. The shelf unit is selectively positioned in a folded position such that the shelf unit is contained within the article of luggage.

A protective cover for a portable electronic device, which is configured for supporting the device and for storing an earphone and cable, includes a casing body, a winding portion, a limiting plate, and a support plate. The device is received in a receiving portion in the casing body and the winding portion protrudes out of one side of the casing body spaced apart from the receiving portion, the winding portion being able to accept the cable of the earphone wound onto it. The limiting plate covers one side of the winding portion spaced apart from the casing body and defining an opening. The support plate covers the opening of the limiting plate and is rotatably coupled to the limiting plate. A ring-shaped accommodating space is defined between the limiting plate and the casing body for receiving the cable of the earphone wound onto the winding portion.

The expander includes side walls positionable against a bag interior, members articularly connected together and to the side walls, and an arcuate enabling diamond shaped mechanism connected between the members and the side walls to provide a selected expanding and contracting amongst the members and the side walls. The members are in a folded condition when the bag is compressed and, with the aid of an expansion motivator such as a rubber band, spring and the like, the bag is expanded to its deployed condition.

A carrying case includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit. The second storage unit is moveable away from the first storage unit from a stowed position to an extended position to define a gap between the first storage unit and the second storage unit in the extended position. A tray extends across the gap from the first storage unit to the second storage unit. At least a portion of the tray is disposed in the second storage unit in the stowed position and extends along the gap in the extended position. Contents of the first storage unit and/or the second storage unit may be removed from the storage unit and supported on the tray during use of the contents.

A foldable display device includes a shell. The shell has an expanding state and a folding state. A first direction and a second direction are defined to be orthogonal. When the shell is at the expanding state, the shell has a first length L1 along the first direction and a second length L2 along the second direction. The ratio of the first length L1 to the second length L2 is between 1.3 and 2. When the shell is at the folding state, the shell has a third length L3 along the second direction and a fourth length L4 along the first direction. The ratio of the third length L3 to the fourth length L4 is also between 1.3 and 2.

A storage box with synchronous opening and lifting mechanisms, having a shell unit, a storage unit arranged inside the shell unit for receiving the object, a lifting unit disposed at a position between the shell unit and the storage unit for lifting and lowering the object, and a synchronization unit disposed inside the shell unit and the storage unit for enabling the shell unit to perform a synchronous opening and closing operation. The lift unit is coupled to the synchronous unit for lifting an object in the storage unit during the synchronous opening operation of the shell unit and lowering the object during the synchronous closing operation of the shell unit.
