Abstract: A portable beverage container includes a container body defining an interior volume adapted to store a liquid, and a handle assembly including a first handle portion movably coupled to a first exterior portion of the container body and a second handle portion movably coupled to a second exterior portion of the container body. The first and second handle portions are movably coupled to one another to move the handle assembly between an open configuration, in which the first and second handle portions extend away from the container body, and a collapsed configuration, in which the first and second handle portions are immediately adjacent the container body.

Abstract: A beverage container comprises a container body defining an opening and having an interior volume and a 360° pour spout assembly removably coupled to the container body. The pour spout assembly comprises an outer plug and an inner plug at least partially received within the outer plug, the outer plug being removably coupled to the container body and the inner plug being vertically displaceable along a longitudinal container body axis and removably coupled to the outer plug.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a food item includes a first portion defining an opening and a second portion having a blade. The second portion is at least partially received by the opening when in a storage position, and is at least partially received in the opening when in a cutting position that is inverted relative to the storage position.

Abstract: The cleaning implement includes a shaft having an operator end and a cleaning end, a mop head comprising a liquid-absorbent material and a wringing mechanism. The mop head and the wringing mechanism are movable relative to one another between at least a cleaning position and a plurality of wringing positions. The wringing mechanism includes a roller which compresses at least a portion of the liquid-absorbent material to thereby expel liquid therefrom. The plastic roller has a plurality of spaced ribs defining cavities therebetween. The ribs are complementally shaped and dimensioned to allow rolling contact relative to the liquid absorbent material as travel takes place between the cleaning position and a wringing position.

Abstract: A power tool in accordance with the invention includes a housing having a handle connected to the housing in at least one position and extending about the rear of the housing with first and second end portions positioned at least in part off the sides of the housing such that the handle allows an operator a range of locations about the housing to facilitate an effective two-handed grip to maintain control over the power tool. The power tool may include an actuator, such as a switch, to regulate power supplied to the tool's motor, and may automatically shift to deactivate the power tool when an unintentional impact above a predetermined magnitude is received by the power tool. The power tool may also include a recess for maintaining an accessory tool and may be designed so that it is both statically and dynamically balanced in order to provide a balanced tool both at rest and during operation, and in order to reduce the amount of vibration experienced by an operator during use of the tool.

Abstract: A power tool in accordance with the invention includes a housing having an internal compartment with a motor therein, a handle connected to the housing for maneuvering the power tool, a working element connected to and driven by the motor to work on a workpiece, and a removable, portable power source having a first position wherein the power source is located primarily in the internal compartment of the housing and being electrically connected to the motor to provide power to the motor for driving the working element and a second position wherein the power source is located remotely from the housing and detached electrically from the motor.

Abstract: There is provided with a power tool a housing having a motor mounted therein for driving a work element mounted below the bottom of the housing for working on a workpiece. The power tool has first and second handles extending from opposite sides thereof, with at least one handle having either or both an enlarged portion and an enhanced gripping portion to facilitate control over the tool. The gripping portion may have an enhanced texture surface, such as an elastomer surface, for an operator to grip the tool. In another form, the power tool may include a switch movable between a first position wherein the power tool is in active state and a second position wherein the power tool is in a de-active state.
