Abstract: A reconfigurable toy simulates a school bus when assembled in a first configuration. In a second configuration the constituent components of the toy bus may be selectively arranged to simulate a schoolroom enclosure having figurines and simulated school desks positioned therewithin. The components of the toy include a vehicle chassis, on which side wall panels and roof panels are supported. The side wall panels and roof panels may be placed on edge on a flat floor surface to simulate the walls of a schoolroom. Rounded projections formed on upper edges of the side wall panels cooperate with recesses formed in the roof panels thereby serving to facilitate ready alignment of the roof panels on the side wall panels when the toy is assembled in the school bus configuration.

Abstract: An adjustable carrier for multiple stacked containers, the carrier including a lower collar positionable peripherally about and lockably engagable with the lowermost container, an upper collar engagable about the uppermost container in cover retaining relationship therewith, and multiple straps engaged between the collars. Each strap is snap-locked to the lower collar and projects vertically into an adjustable ratchet and pawl engagement with the upper collar. The upper collar incorporates an integral handle which receives any excess length of the straps therein.

Abstract: A container encircling frame with opposed pairs of resiliently deformable straps extending therefrom. Each pair of straps mounts an elongated handle element transversely across the outer ends thereof, the two handle elements, upon a releasable interlocking thereof, defining a single handle or hand grip. Each handle element includes a vertical ribbed panel, with a laterally spaced lip defining a recess for the panel of the other handle element. Interlocking is effected through releasably engageable detents and projections on the panels and lips.
