A napkin is provided with an adhering portion and an engaging location that can releasably adhere together. The adhering portion is located on an upper side of the napkin and the engaging location is located on the lower side such that the napkin can be wrapped around items of cutlery and secured to form a wrap by engaging the adhering portion with the engaging location. The adhering portion and the engaging location are provided with mutually adhesive material that allows the adhering portion and the engaging location to releasably adhere to each other but which mutually adhesive material does not adhere to the napkin material. A cutlery wrap using the napkin of this design and a method for wrapping cutlery are also provided.

A knife case and associated components and methods. The knife case includes a case body and a plurality of holders. For example, the case may be configured to hold a plurality of blade components configured to be interchangeably mounted on a handle. The knife may be an electric knife, and the case can include a battery dock for holding a spare battery.

A utensil holder is described. The holder includes a base portion and a sidewall portion coupled to a periphery of and extending outward from the base portion. The sidewall portion and the base portion define a utensil receiving portion. An opening of the base portion receives a first magnetic component therein. At least one securement mechanism engaged to the sidewall portion secures the utensil in the utensil receiving portion. A material is affixed at one end to a location on the sidewall portion and is affixed at another end to a second magnetic component. The first and second magnetic component are of opposing polarities such that when the second magnetic component is placed beneath a surface the holder is resting on, the first magnetic component is configured in a magnetic attraction with the second magnetic component to maintain a location of the holder on the surface.

Disclosed is a cutlery tray having at least one longitudinal cavity wherein cutlery is to be disposed. The longitudinal cavity has an inclined bottom surface and two longitudinal lateral edges with the inclined bottom surface in intermediate position between them. The cutlery tray importantly has an inclined mobile partition disposed in the longitudinal cavity, between the two longitudinal lateral edges, as well as connections configured in such a way that the inclined mobile partition can be alternatively disposed in a first position, wherein the inclined mobile partition is superimposed to the inclined bottom surface, and in a second position, wherein the inclined mobile partition projects with respect to the inclined bottom surface in such a way to increase the length of the supporting surface for the cutlery.

A utensil protection device, including a main body to store a head of a utensil therein, a plurality of sealing members removably disposed on a first end of the main body within at least a portion of the main body to prevent the head of the utensil from contamination, and a hinge disposed on a second end of the main body to facilitate movement of the main body from closed in a first position to at least partially opened in a second position.

The present invention is an optically clear, curable adhesive including a polyvinylbutyral, a polyurethane (meth)acrylate, a (meth)acrylate monomer, and a photoinitiator. The polyvinylbutyral has a dynamic viscosity of between about 9 and about 13 mPa.Math.s and a polyvinyl alcohol weight percent of less than about 18%. The polyurethane (meth)acrylate includes the reaction product of a diol, at least one diisocyanate, and a hydroxyfunctional (meth)acrylate or an isocyanatofunctional (meth)acrylate. When the optically clear, curable adhesive is placed between two transparent substrates and made into a laminate, the laminate has a haze of less than about 6%, a transmission of greater than about 88%, and an optical clarity of greater than about 98% when cured. The optically clear, curable adhesive also has a peel adhesion of at least about 100 g/cm based on ASTM 3330 when cured.
