Abstract: The invention provides tie-down devices and related methods for securing oversized items in a vehicle trunk or rear storage compartment in preparation for transport. The tie-down devices include sections connected by a releasable buckle that allows for separately cinching the strap sections to desired lengths. The tie-down devices incorporate specialized connectors at each end in the form of at least one grip that is curved to attach to the edge of a panel on the vehicle and a latch that attaches to a fixed attachment mechanism at the opposite end.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dispenser for a food or beverage container that incorporates a three-dimensional design therein without significantly compromising the appearance of the three-dimensional design with the functionality of the device's dispensing apparatus. The dispenser includes a dispensing cap connected to an associated container and a three-dimensional design having (1) a first portion mounted on the dispensing cap and (2) a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion. The second portion is movable between a closed position wherein the second portion is pivoted until engagement with the first portion and an open position wherein the second portion is pivoted away from engagement with the first portion. The dispenser assembly further including a spout extending from the dispensing cap through the first portion of the three-dimensional design.
