Abstract: A straining apparatus is provided having a cover and a squat cage member extending normally from an underside of the cover. The cage member has a first end adjacent the cover and a second end configured to fit over a mouth of a drain and support the cover in a spaced relationship relative to the mouth of the drain. The cage member has a sidewall between its two ends with apertures therein to permit flow of liquid whilst hindering passage of solids therethrough and the cover is weighted to hold the straining apparatus substantially in place relative to a drain in use.

Abstract: An accessory is provided for a mobile device and has a molded plastic body defining a squat personal card storage compartment with a door that forms an outer major wall to the storage compartment. The door defines a depth to the storage compartment such that it can at least two personal cards in a stacked relationship relative to each other. The body assembly has a mounting base with an attachment surface for adhesive attachment to a surface of either a mobile device or a case for a mobile device. The attachment of the door to the body assembly at its attached edge is configured to limit the opening of the door as a result of the application of an opening force applied thereto to a maximum angle of between 5° and 30°.

Abstract: A hand protector is disclosed that comprises flexible planar base in the general shape of an oversized palm of a person's hand. Five spaced apertures are provided towards edges of the planar base in positions that correspond to five fingers of the hand, the apertures sized to permit the fingers of the hand to be inserted therethrough to support the planar base against a palm of the hand. One or more of the apertures have cover flaps, each cover flap movable between a first position in which it generally extends in a plane of the base, and a second position in which it extends away from the plane of the base and abuts a base of the finger when a finger is inserted through the aperture.

Abstract: A clothes supporting apparatus is provided having a shaping member defining a flexible periphery for supporting an item of clothing. An adjustable mechanism is provided for selectively decreasing a transverse extent of the periphery, wherein the adjustable mechanism extends between joints on opposing portions of the periphery and causes the opposing portions of the periphery to flex towards each other when the adjustable mechanism is operated. The shaping member is elastically deformable causing the opposing portions of the periphery to return to an unflexed position when the adjustable mechanism is released.

Abstract: The invention relates to a soft-cup package (29) for smoking articles wherein the outer wrap material (10) is a paperboard or cardboard material having the ability to collapse along lines of weakening (26, 28) in the side panels (16, 20) as smoking articles are removed from the package (29). The invention also includes further means of collapse along lines of weakening (14.2, 18.2) in the base panel (14.1, 18.1). Retaining means may he provided by a collapsed side panel (20) and a dummy stamp or seal (34) across the top walls of the package (10) to hold captive the remaining exposed smoking articles (46).
