Abstract:
The improved laundry basket comprises a laundry basket and a plurality of product containers. The laundry basket may be operable to carry laundry to and/or from a laundry area. The plurality of product containers may detachably couple to the laundry basket. Each of the plurality of product containers may hold a laundry product. As non-limiting examples, the laundry product may be a liquid product, a granular product, or a powdered product. The plurality of product containers may fit into a plurality of container recesses that may be exposed on the exterior of the laundry basket. Each of the plurality of product containers may be held in place by a positioning clip. As non-limiting examples, the laundry products may be detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, stain removers, and sanitizers.
Abstract:
A tray includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upward from the base. In one feature, a first wall of the plurality of walls may include a projection outward from the first wall. The projection is aligned with an upper edge of the first wall, such that the projection is outward of a portion of the upper edge of the first wall. The projection of an identical upper tray stacked on the tray would interlock with the upper edge of the first wall to resist outward deflection of the upper edge of the first wall of the tray. In another feature, a platform may extend inward from at least one of the walls to support smaller trays stacked thereon. In another feature, an exterior of each of the side walls may include an interlocking recess for receiving automated handling equipment for supporting the tray.
Abstract:
A container arrangement for product comprises at least one first independent container part having a closable dispensing opening and a second independent container part having a closable dispensing opening. The second container part can be arranged detachably in a recess of the first container part in such a manner that the first container part and the second container part are connected to form the container arrangement, wherein the first dispensing opening and the second dispensing opening point in different directions. The first dispensing opening can be closed by a first closure part and the second dispensing opening can be closed by a second closure part. At least the second closure part overlaps a subregion of the second container part and a subregion of the first container part in a locking manner.
Abstract:
Top mounting can container that couples with a can. One or more embodiment enables simultaneous access to both the contents of the can and contents of the container. A half circle cut-out in the lid provides for spill free snacking from an independent vessel. Various configurations enable the inclusion of fresh food, eating and drinking from a straw if desired while standing and walking and access of solid or liquid in the container and can. Coupling elements that couple the top mounting can container to the can, may utilize any type of easily removable or semi-removable technology. Simplifies eating and drinking from one container and can in a theater or stadium having seats for example that provide one beverage holder per seat. Provides one free hand to hold a child's hand for safety while in stadiums and amusement parks.

Abstract:
A liquid dispenser comprising a dispensing portion (16) integral with a storage portion (14), wherein the storage portion is releasably securable to a surface of a water container (12) of a water unit (10). The storage portion is suitably configured to enable its engagement with the water container by means of a snap-fit, alternately a slide-fit tongue and groove formation; an adhesive compound; or the suspension of storage portion from a top flange of the water container. The storage portion may comprise a resiliency depressible formation (30), which when depressed causes liquid to be dispensed from a dispensing portion.
Abstract:
A container is disclosed that can hold and dispense a beverage while at the same time storing and dispensing drinking cups for consuming the beverage, thereby enhancing the availability of drinking cups, by making them readily available for use with the container. The container includes a cup storage and dispensing portion formed into the bottom, the side, or some other surface of the container, with a cup retaining element capable of resisting removal of a cup from the portion. The cup storage and dispensing portion can be sealed by a removable cover, and can be shaped to accommodate a plurality of cups while maximizing the beverage volume of the container. In another aspect of the invention, the container includes a storage portion that can be used to store other items, such as beverage additives or promotional items, in addition to, or instead of, cups.
Abstract:
The claimed invention is a novel container system that adds utility and convenience for the consumer “on-the-go”. The container system claimed includes a main tray member that holds food product (e.g. carrots), and lid member that is configured so that, when it is inverted, it acts as a secondary tray member that holds food product (e.g. condiment) and is further attachable to the rim of the tray member via an interference fit or snap-fit grip fit. The resulting utility is that the consumer is able to hold the main tray member with one hand or have held the main tray member (e.g. in a recess in an automobile consol) and access the contents of both trays with a free hand.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for detecting stains, urine, odor and feces, and more particularly, the combination of a black light detector and a liquid reservoir and/or trigger pump dispensing vehicle for containing stain removing chemicals is provided. The black light is selectively and removably mounted or positioned in the body of the dispensing vehicle.
Abstract:
A package system which combines an article and a container in an integrated package with the article secured in nested relationship within a recess of the container. The recess has sufficient depth such that portions of the side walls of the container extend outwardly effectively beyond an exposed surface of the article so as to protect the article against damage. Alternatively, the package system includes a pair of spaced columns which are integrally formed with the side wall of the container and which extend outwardly from the side wall. A recess is formed between the column members which is configured to receive an article in nested relationship within the recess. Methods for securing the article in nested relationship within the recess of the container are also disclosed.
