Abstract: The base assembly configures side by side drop-in containers; one container for a toilet brush and one container for the cleaning agent. The drop-in features allow easy removal of the brush container to pour out any fluid and for replacement of cleaning agent container as needed. The cleaning agent is preferably a specially formulated, anti-bacterial and environmentally friendly paste which is directly applied to the brush by manually dipping and twisting the brush bristles into the container. Attached to the brush just below the user grip is a round plastic hilt which serves as a cover when the brush is inserted in the container and to suspend the brush bristles above the bottom of the container to allow for drainage. The cover assembly handle, which is attached to the base, can be lifted and rotated to uncover the containers for cleaning operation. The covers are brought back to their original position when not in use.

Abstract: A reusable straw guide container holds dry ice pellets, and is operable with a beverage container. The dry ice pellet is immersed in a beverage to keep it cool and create a mist. The dry ice pellet is loaded into a housing through an opening in a bottom region of the housing. A resilient gate covers the opening. The resilient gate is defined by a shape memory that biases the resilient gate to a closed position, which restricts access to and from the inside of the housing. A force applied on the dry ice pellet bends the resilient gate inwardly into the housing to enable entry of the pellet. After the pellet has passed through, the shape memory returns the resilient gate to the closed position. The housing has a top region having apertures and slits that enable the beverage to flow into contact with the pellet.

Abstract: A pressure vessel includes an inner liner, a tubing connector, and an anti-leakage unit. The inner liner is disposed in an outer shell and defines an inner space. The tubing connector is disposed outwardly of the inner space and is welded to the outer shell. The anti-leakage unit has inner and outer sealing rings, and a clamping member that extends into the tubing connector and the inner space and that has inner and outer end flanges. The inner and outer end flanges are disposed inside and outside the inner space, respectively. The inner and outer end flanges cooperatively provides a clamping force to press the inner and outer sealing rings against the inner liner and the tubing connector, respectively.

The closure includes a sealing portion assembled to an aperture of a container to seal the container; a plurality of locking protrusions, each lock protrusion connected to a hinge extending from a lower rim of the sealing portion to protrude inwards and fixed to a locking flange formed on the container; a cover portion having a ring shape and assembled to an outside of the sealing portion to be vertically movable with respect to the sealing portion; and a plurality of fixing protrusions protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the cover portion to support the locking protrusions.

Abstract: When cleaning water hits a lower wall 33h of a first waterproof portion 33 of an upper cover 15, and the water is thrown up to the upper cover 15, a tapered outer wall 30b of the first waterproof portion 30 and a tapered inner wall 33g of the first waterproof portion 33 come into contact with each other, and are engaged with each other to close an entrance side of a tiny passage 27. Even if the water enters, the water enters a blind passage 33b to reduce the force of the water. The water of which force is reduced falls down. It is effective for improving waterproof performance to reduce the force of the water by the blind passage 33b.
