Abstract: A musical instrument case made of foam material is described herein. The case is advantageously made of rigid foam material, such as, for example polypropylene foam, that has been molded to the desired musical instrument shape. In the case of a stringed instrument the body and cover portions of the case, both made of polypropylene foam, are joined by hinges partially embedded in the foam material. The body and cover portions meeting edges are preferably provided with complementary channel and tongue assemblies increasing the structural stability of the case, once closed.

Abstract: A measuring container for pourable ingredients which comprises a body having relatively uniform transparent walls, a flat bottom wall and a top having a pourable opening, spaced apart graduated indicia located on the transparent walls with each indicia provided at the point of intersection of a plane coincident with the horizontal level of ingredients filling the container up to the said horizontal level when the flat bottom of the container is on a horizontal plane and a plane coincident with the pour level of the ingredients when the container is tilted at an angle such that the ingredients will pour from the pour opening.
