SAFETY STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A storage system, comprising a body having a cavity therein configured to house one or more items, and an opening defined by the body and a panel configured to mate with the opening and prevent access to the cavity when the panel is in position; the system have a first level of security securing items stored in the cavity; a second level of security securing the body from a structure from which it is hung, and an third level of security disguising the storage system as a hanging piece of clothing.

Coating material container
Provided is a container having a container body, a bail attached to the container body, and a flexible band attached to a rear of the container body. The flexible band has a first end attached to the rear of the container proximate a top of the rear and a second end attached to the rear of the container body proximate a bottom of the rear. The flexible band is movable between a first position spaced a first distance from the rear, a second position spaced a second distance from the rear less than the first distance to allow the container body and the bail to be grasped at the rear without interference by the flexible band, and a third position spaced a third distance from the rear greater than the first distance to provide space for a user's hand between the rear of the container body and the flexible band.
PORTABLE COOLER
A portable cooler includes a first semicylindrical member defining a first aperture in a first side and a second aperture in a second side thereof. A second semicylindrical member is hingedly coupled with the first semicylindrical member. A cradle is removably positioned in the first semicylindrical member. The cradle can rotate with respect to the first semicylindrical member within the space defined by the first semicylindrical member. First and second wheels are rotatably coupled with the first semicylindrical member. First and second axles extend through the wheels and first semicylindrical member and into the cradle. The axles allow independent rotation of the cradle, the first semicylindrical member and the wheels to maintain a substantially horizontal rotational orientation of the cradle with respect to the first semicylindrical member.

WIRE HANDLE ACCESSORY
A wire handle accessory for use with a wire handle has a body having a first end portion, a second end portion, a top portion, and a bottom portion, the upper portion including a channel that extends from the first end portion to the second end portion, the channel having an open top that forms a recess into the top portion, wherein the recess is sized, shaped, and adapted to receive a portion of the wire handle that supports an object. A retention mechanism allows the wire handle accessory to be removably retained on the wire handle when the wire handle is received in the recess of the body. The bottom portion of the body includes a grasping surface that is graspable by a user when carrying the object, the bottom portion surface having a width that is larger than the width of the wire handle that is receivable in the recess so that the weight of the object can be distributed across a wider surface than when the wire handle alone is used to carry the object. In one version, the first end portion and/or second end portion of the body comprises a tool, such as a paint can opener.

Receptacle
The receptacle has a container (1) which is intended for receiving products that form condensation when warm, for example food products or the like, and which can be closed by a lid (2). In order that the container (1) can be closed and placed in the refrigerator for cooling and storage purposes straight after being filled with the still-warm product, the receptacle has at least one opening (3), which is provided in an annular wall (11) of the lid (2) and can be closed by at least one closure part (4). In the fitted position, the lid (2) and/or the closure part (4) can be adjusted relative to one another. If warm products, for example warm food products, are introduced into the receptacle, then the opening (3) is at least partly opened, so that, as the warm product cools down, the steam which forms can escape. This prevents any relatively large quantities of condensation from forming in the container.
PAINT BUCKET DISPENSING AND DRIPLESS STORAGE SYSTEM
A paint bucket dispensing and dripless storage system includes a lid detachably connected to a paint bucket having a port formed therethrough. A paint dispenser extends through the lid port in sealed relation and defines a paint fluid pathway between an intake end within the bucket and an outlet end extending above the lid. The paint outlet is configured to be detachably connected to a hose of an airless paint sprayer. An upper assembly of the paint dispenser is detachably coupled to a lower assembly of the paint dispenser, such as by a manually actuated quick connect/disconnect mechanism.
Pressure Release Technology for Hard-Sided Cooler Boxes
A hard-sided cooler box may include a channel or cylindrical-shaped hole that extends from the outside of the cooler box to the inside of the cooler box. This cylindrical-shaped hole or channel may be covered/sealed by one or more latches of the cooler box when the cooler box is closed, and the latches are secured. However, when the latches of the cooler box are released, the cylindrical-shaped hole or channel may be unblocked, and the air from the interior of the cooler box can escape to the outside of the cooler box before the lid is lifted from the body. This allows the lid to be opened with no struggle.
