Abstract: A first portion and a second portion form a container which can hold objects. The first portion and second portion is connected using screw threads. A lid can be utilized to seal one portion, enabling different objects to be placed in one portion of the container and not be indirect contact with the other portion of the container. A snack food is placed into one portion and a toy in the other portion. A lid handle is folded inward and is utilized to remove the lid and obtain the object in that portion of the container.

Abstract: A collapsible funnel and a storage case therefor, the collapsible funnel having a base and an upper portion, the upper portion being formed of a plurality of segments divided by fold lines to permit the segments to be folded inwardly, the base portion being formed of at least first and second base portion sections, the storage case having a polygonal cross sectional configuration corresponding to the polygonal configuration of the upper portion.

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring opening of sealed enclosures, especially, but not exclusively, sealed containers containing goods-in-transit, such as goods vehicles, maritime containers or transport containers of the kind carried by tractor-trailers, ships, trains or aeroplanes comprises a radio receiver unit having at least one antenna for reception of radio signals. The receiver unit is housed within the enclosure and operates to scan a predetermined band of radio frequencies, periodically or continuously, and detect a sudden change in signal level. When it detects such a change in radio signal level, the receiver generates an alarm signal. Alternatively, the receiver may detect the difference between internal and external radio signal levels and determine the container to have been opened if the difference is less than a preset threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a collapsible funnel that is easily adaptable to a variety of liquid receptacles, with an associated moveable rod, extending within the funnel, connected to a screw cap which provides for the funnel to be pushed into a liquid receptacle, through a filling spout therein, in a collapsed position when not in use. The collapsible funnel needs to be pulled out of the liquid receptacle to automatically assume a standing and extended operative position over and in association with the spout and facilitates the filling of the liquid receptacle, especially when moveable rod with screw cap partially clear the way in order for funnel to easily receive the liquid.
