Abstract: Various embodiments related to a tree guard are disclosed. One embodiment provides an L shaped breakaway bracket for use with a modular tree guard assembly. The L shaped breakaway bracket includes a horizontal member extending substantially perpendicularly from a vertical member, wherein the vertical member is thinner and longer than the horizontal member. At least one fastener hole is provided in the horizontal member for receiving a fastener for securing the horizontal member to a rail. At least one fastener hole is provided in the vertical member for receiving a fastener for securing the vertical member to a post. The breakaway bracket is adapted to break along the intersection of the horizontal member and the vertical member and separate the rail from the post when a force that would otherwise be sufficient to deform the rail is applied to the rail.

Abstract: A disposable food container that is particularly suited for microwave ovens includes a base and at least one upright container wall. The container wall forms with the base an open-topped food container for eggs and other foods, which can be placed into a microwave oven for cooking the food. The container wall is separately attachable to the base. The base and container wall can intially be provided as a single card, where serrations or other suitable structure permit the separation of the card into base and container wall portions. Tabs can be provided in the container wall to engage slots provided in the base, and can be folded under the base to attach the container wall to the base. Interlocking structure can be provided at the free ends of the container wall to secure these ends together and to thereby form with the base a closed-perimeter container for the food.
