  • Patent number: 10472136
    Abstract: A container includes container body (120) defining an interior (122) and an opening (124) leading to the interior. A lid (140) is movable with respect to the container body to move the container between a closed position in which the lid covers the opening and an opened position in which the opening is exposed. A housing (180) is affixed to an upper portion of the container body, adjacent to the opening. A release (160) is movably housed within the housing. The release is configured to move between a locked position in which the release retains the lid in the closed position, and an unlocked position, in which the release permits the lid to move into the opened position. The release moves from the locked position to the unlocked position by a first movement in a radially inward direction of the container, followed by a second movement in an axially upward direction of the container.

  • Patent number: 10368673
    Abstract: Different liquid containing vessels with integrated coasters are provided. The liquid containing vessels have an upper portion, channel, base, and integrated coaster. The upper portion retains some amount of liquid. The channel is disposed beneath the upper portion and above the above the base. The channel is formed from a central stem connecting the upper portion to the base and a cavity that surrounds the stem for some radius that is less than a radius of the upper portion or base. Disposed in the channel is the integrated coaster. The integrated coaster is a trapping element that in some embodiments is a solid porous ring of an adsorptive or absorptive material. Condensation forming about the outer surface of the upper portion drips downwards towards the channel. The channel redirects the condensation to the trapping element where it is removed by the adsorptive or absorptive materials.

  • Patent number: 10315819
    Abstract: A tool display device includes a body having a top portion for being hanged on a wall. A mediate portion is connected to the top portion, and a bottom portion is connected to the meditate portion. A cylindrical connection portion is connected to the bottom portion. A slot is defined through the connection portion and extends from the top of the connection portion and ends before the distal end of the connection portion. An opening is defined in the top of the connection portion and communicates with the slot. The slot divides the connection portion into a left part and a right part. The right part has a protrusion extending from the outside thereof. An restriction member is connected between the mediate portion and the right part. A socket is mounted to the connection portion and can only be removed from the connection portion when the restriction member is cut.
