A package for receiving an adapter sleeve for a hip endoprosthesis, the hip endoprosthesis comprising a ball head which has to be pushed onto the adapter sleeve with a defined pushing-on force. For simplification and secure fastening of the ball head on the adapter sleeve, it is proposed according to the invention that a device for the mounting of the ball head on the adapter sleeve is integrated in the package and this device comprises indicating elements which indicate that the defined pushing-on force has been reached when the ball head is pressed onto the adapter sleeve. Preferably the package has indicating elements.

A chest cooler accessory for maintaining food items above a level of ice and water within the chest cooler that includes a rectangular elastic net that is maintained around three sides to the undersurface of the chest cooler lid to be open along the rectangular elastic net side that is adjacent to the lid latching side to allow food items to be passed into the rectangular elastic net that flexes to support which items above the water and ice level during transport, and which rectangular elastic net attachment to the lid undersurface is with fasteners that do not effect the lid internal integrity, and said rectangular elastic net is arranged to have a splash guard mounted thereto to block passage of water therethrough.

This present invention relates a beverage container carrier comprising a cylindrical vessel receiver for receiving a beverage container, one or more of a tension tab, and one or more of a tension fin. When a beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver it contacts the tension fin. The tension fin and tension tab flex outward creating space within the cylindrical vessel receiver for the beverage container and applying retaining pressure to the beverage container holding it securely within the cylindrical vessel receiver. In exemplary embodiments, the beverage container carrier further comprises a handle slot proximate to the open-top rim for receiving the beverage container handle, and an attachment panel having concealed magnet retention slots. One or more magnets are secured in each of the magnet retention slots and orientated such that the magnets secure the beverage container carrier to ferrous metal objects.

The invention relates to a package comprising a case having a bottom and a peripheral rim, the package also comprising a cover rotatably mounted on a side carrying the peripheral rim, and holding means for maintaining an object to be transported in the case, characterized in that the holding means comprise a frame rotatably mounted on the peripheral rim in the vicinity of the bottom of the case, the holding means also comprising elastically deformable means extending inside the frame, and a connecting rod for connection between the frame and the cover, the connecting rod being rotatably mounted on the cover and on the frame, the connecting rod, the cover, the side carrying the peripheral rim and the frame together forming a deformable parallelogram.
