Abstract: A drink preparing device that includes a box and a holding and drip-collecting system that comprises a holding part positionable beneath a drink outlet in order to accept a first, relatively small receptacle, and being configured and dimensioned to be moveable between a deployed holding position suitable for accepting the small receptacle and a second position in which the part is moved at least partly out of the way of the drink outlet to create an unoccupied space in which a second, larger receptacle can be positioned, in place of the first receptacle, beneath the drink outlet.

Abstract: A top of or for a cup or mug for containing a flowable substance therein. The top includes a covering body arranged to cover the cup or mug, with the body having a peripheral part with a trough-opening for an outflow of flowable substance and with an air through-opening for an inflow of air. The top also includes a lid movable relative to the covering body between an open position for allowing this outflow and this inflow, and a closed position for preventing them, the lid having a first part and a second part for obturating in the closed position the outflow through-opening and the inflow through-opening, respectively. These inflow and outflow through-openings are located opposite to one another on the peripheral part of the covering body. The lid extends in the closed position from adjacent the inflow through-opening across the covering body to adjacent the outflow through-opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surprise box for containing objects. According to the invention, the surprise box is essentially constituted by a hollow body made of deformable material, provided with an opening zone giving access to the inside of the hollow body by deforming the wall of said hollow body adjacent to said opening zone, effaceable obstacles also being provided inside the hollow body to complicate searching for and taking hold of objects disposed inside said surprise box.

Abstract: A mold assembly including an outer mold and an associated inner mold, the inner mold being organized to engage in the outer mold, the outer mold having a curved main portion with a central opening and an outer rim extending in a plane, and the inner mold having a curved main portion with a central chimney shaped to pass with small clearance through the opening and an outer rim which, when the molds are mutually engaged, is coplanar with the outer rim of the outer mold and co-operates therewith to close the molding space defined between the curved portions.
