Abstract: A container system that includes a container portion having a base that defines a perimeter and a wall having a first end that is attached to the base, wherein the wall extends from the first end so that the base and the wall define an interior volume of space and wherein a second end of the wall defines an edge of an opening into the interior volume of space. The container system further including a cover having a surface that is positioned to contact the edge and block the opening, wherein the surface includes a pattern of perforations that defines a weakened area of the surface that is surrounded by the pattern of perforations.

Abstract: A ring suitable for riding upon a coil of wire is provided. The ring includes a substantially planar member extending between an inner edge defining a central aperture and an outer edge, the member including a substantially planar portion that extends radially inwardly of the outer edge and toward the inner edge, and a upwardly extending central portion that extends from the planar portion to the inner edge. The substantially planar portion includes a top surface that faces away from a top surface of a coil of wire when the member rests thereupon and an opposite bottom surface that faces toward a top surface of the coil of wire when the member rests thereupon, the bottom surface of the substantially planar portion includes a plurality of projections that extend therefrom away from the bottom surface.
