Abstract: A carry out food bowl comprising a bowl and a removable cover. The bowl includes a conversion demarcation, which defines a conversion section. The conversion section includes a portion of a sidewall of the bowl and a bottom portion of the bowl. The user would depress the conversion section inward creating a new bowl support surface, wherein the new support surface tilts an opening of the bowl. A condiment container receptacle can be integrated into the cover to retain a condiment container assembly. This associates the condiment with the contents of the bowl. The bowl and lid can include a stacking interface enabling one to attach a second bowl onto a cover of a first bowl.

Abstract: A matchbook structure wherein a protective cover is employed which is to protect the sides of the book of matches from being contacted by a spark from the lighting of a single match. The protective cover is connected to the base of the matchbook which is an extension of the back of the matchbook. The striking surface may be on the protective cover, the outer cover or the extension. The protective cover may be made of transparent material, if desired.

Abstract: An improved package for matches is disclosed, in which the striking surface of the package is protected by a flattenable, generally tubular enclosure. The enclosure hides the striking surface from view, and prevents a match from being struck unless it is pinched between the striking surface and the interior wall of the enclosure as it is drawn across the striking surface.The tubular enclosure may include a front cover receiving recess, and normally be in a flattened position, whereby a sliding motion of the front cover towards the tubular enclosure while in engagement with the receiving recess expands the tubular enclosure allowing access to the striking surface.

Abstract: The disclosure is of a safety match container which gives an adult ready access to the contained matches but which is not easily opened by an infant. The preferred embodiment is a container fabricated from a tear-resistant, polymeric resin material and including a lock structure which permits the container to be opened only when the container itself is held and manipulated in a specific manner recognized by an adult but not generally by an infant.

Abstract: A match book construction comprising a base member to which a row of upwardly extending matches are secured and a cover member which is adapted to be removably connected to the base member, the arrangement being such that the heads of the matches are completed shielded prior to igniting a match thereon.
