Abstract: A detachable plaque for a cap having a visor and an adjoining crown portion is provided. The plaque generally comprises a flexible plastic sheet-like member having a live hinge or crease which defines a boundary between an upper portion of the sheet-like member and the lower portion of the sheet-like member, a first coupling or mating device incorporated on the upper portion of the sheet-like member for detachably engaging a mating member on the crown portion of the cap, and a second coupling or mating device incorporated on the lower portion of the sheet-like member for detachably engaging a second mating member on the visor of the cap. The first and second coupling means may be snaps and/or snap receivers, sockets and/or domed plugs, Velcro hook and/or loop fasteners, etc. In accord with one embodiment of the invention, the flexible plastic sheet has an aperture in at least the upper portion for receiving a piece of cardboard or paper on which a message or information is printed.

Abstract: A closure device is provided and generally comprises a "U" shaped structural member preformed to a size and shape suitable to join two vessels into a microwavable utensil. The closure device has opposed finger grips and a rod shaped handle for moving and handling the microwavable utensil formed by the closure device. The plastic or metal material from which the closure device is made is resilient so that when the closure is deformed, placed in position around the two vessels and then released it will return to its original preformed shape securing the two vessels in position. The lower and upper vessels joined together by the closure device are held in place by the legs of the "U" shaped structural member.
