A mat may be transitioned into at least three different operational configurations: (1) a substantially flat work surface configuration, for using the mat as a work or play surface; (2) a funnel like collection configuration, for facilizing collection and/or clean-up of articles upon a top of the mat; and (3) a folded configuration, for storage of the mat. The mat may have a removably sealable trapdoor for emptying of articles collected above the trapdoor. The trapdoor may be utilized in the funnel like collection configuration. Straps and/or handles may be used to transition from the substantially flat work surface configuration to the funnel like collection configuration.

A protective article is disclosed including a sheet with a first surface, and at least one adhesive portion arranged on the first surface. The adhesive is a water-based adhesive, such as a water-based acrylic adhesive, that allows the sheet to be non-permanently adhered to an object. The adhesive may be sprayed, rolled, printed, or stamped onto the first surface.

An adhesive fabric fastener for temporary securing two pieces of fabric or an object to a piece of fabric. In one embodiment, the fastener can be a snap assembly which can include ball and socket members each associated with adhesive for temporarily securing the ball and socket members to the fabric/objects. In one non-limiting use the fastener can be used to close or reduce the gap created between buttons on a buttoned shirt and such that the fastener is not seen in use. No modification or alteration to the piece of fabric or garment is required for securing the fastener. In another embodiment the fastener can be a cord secured at one end to adhesive tape and at its other end to another piece of adhesive tape.

A colorable tablecloth configured for covering a table and allowing individuals, especially children to utilize markers and crayons on a top surface of the tablecloth. The colorable tablecloth has a first fabric layer, a printed design, a second finishing layer and a laminate backing.

The invention discloses a solar outdoor multifunctional folding table, wherein the solar desktop is composed of multiple photovoltaic panels hinged to one another, when user needs to supply power, the photovoltaic panels are unfolded and installed on desktop support frame and face the sun, and the photovoltaic panels generate corresponding solar power sources, and after control output module has performed processing, the user can connect electronic devices to output terminal of the control output module, thereby overall power-saving and environment-friendly effects are achieved. When the electric quantity of electronic devices is sufficient, user can turn over solar desktop, and the surface with fabric tablecloth of the photovoltaic panel faces upwards, and various articles can be placed on the solar table top, and people can work on the solar desktop. Moreover, the desktop support frame and photovoltaic panels can be folded and stored each other, greatly reducing the occupied space.

A backpack picnic bag assembly including a tablecloth having a substantially rectangular main body foldable to form utensil storage compartments. Storage compartments may be defined and separated from one another by spaced apart lines of stitching running substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main body. In other embodiments, storage compartments may be defined and separated from one another by spaced apart lines of hook and loop fastener strips running substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main body. A storage bag with one or more straps holds the tablecloth and any items held within the compartments when folded.
