Abstract: Provided is a cutting board including a first board section, a second board section, and a hinge assembly pivotally coupling the first and second board sections together. The first board section has a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first front surface, and a first rear surface and the second board section has a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second front surface, and a second rear surface. The hinge assembly pivotally and removably couples the first and second board sections together such that the first and second inner surfaces face one another in an unfolded position and the first and second bottom surfaces face one another in a folded position.

Abstract: A cutting board apparatus includes a cutting board base formed from a rigid material. The cutting board base includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The cutting apparatus further includes a flexible cutting mat having a cutting surface and a gripping surface opposite the cutting surface. The flexible cutting mat is configured to removably nest with the first side of the cutting board base, and the flexible cutting mat comprises a thermoplastic elastomeric material. The cutting board base and the flexible cutting mat can be used in a nested configuration, or as separate and independent cutting surfaces.

Abstract: A container lid including a pleat for expanding and contracting a perimeter of a sealing section, the sealing section including a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion, wherein when the container lid is sealed onto a container, the first sealing portion contacts an interior surface of the container and the second sealing portion contacts a top surface of the container.

Abstract: A manual mixing apparatus includes an elongate member extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end. The elongate member includes a first surface and a second surface separated by an opening or a flow passage therebetween. In one embodiment, the first surface and the second surface are concave so as to direct fluid towards the opening or flow passage. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a flow separating structure located in relationship to a flow passage such that fluid flowing through the flow passage is divided. In yet another embodiment, the apparatus includes a paddle portion and a conical surface coupled to the paddle portion.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an applicator for coatings such as paints, stains, varnish, and other such materials. The applicator may be a brush, foam, or other applicator as conventionally used for such materials. According to the present invention, the handle of the applicator is adapted to be received in the hand of a user when the hand is in a substantially relaxed posture, and supports the hand in the posture. The handle of an applicator made according to the present invention also may include visual or other aids to promote the use of a relaxed hand posture to hold the applicator.
