Abstract: An a platform, which may also be referred to as an amenity platform, that may stand alone or be attached to a human form disposition element, such as a chair, desk, or an exercise device. Said amenity platform comprises a tray supported by a platform frame having an essentially u-shape with opposing, essentially parallel, bars extending from opposite ends of a platform frame base. One or more arm rests with pads are attached to the platform. The arms rests may roll or vibrate, providing a massaging effect. The arms rests may be movable or articulated with respect to the platform tray.

Abstract: A system includes a toy and a first mobile communication device received within the toy in electronic communication with the toy. The toy includes speakers configured to output audio based on audio or data received from a mobile communication device in electronic communication with the toy, a camera, and a plurality of articulated arms. The first mobile communication device includes software loaded thereon configured to communicate voice communications received from another mobile communication device to the toy for output via the speakers of the toy, to display, via a display screen of the first mobile communication device, a simulated mouth, and to effect movement of the simulated mouth during output of voice communications from another mobile communications device via the speakers of the toy.

Abstract: A baggie holder comprising first and second support members, the center portions of which are pivotally connected to each other. Each of the first and second support members comprises two legs, and each leg comprises a roughly vertical member, a foot, and a connecting portion between the foot and the center portion of the support member. The length of each connecting portion of each of the four legs is the same.

Abstract: A food peeler/slicing system permitting the orderly use or disposal of sliced, grated, or peeled food matter. The invention includes a handle, one or more caps, one or more blades, the blade in an embodiment being interchangeable, and one or more receptacle chambers, the chamber in an embodiment being removable. Sliced, grated, or peeled food mater is collected in the receptacle chamber for later use or disposal. The present invention discloses a variety of receptacle chamber shapes and a variety of caps which optionally may be utilized for zesting or grating food material.

Abstract: An exercise device comprises a frame, including a pair of arcuate rails having a central curved portion, a first end, and a second end. The pair of rails are disposed in fixed parallel relation with one another with a first end member interconnecting the first ends of the rails and a second end member interconnecting the second ends of the rails. The exercise device further comprises a platform operatively connected to the frame for supporting a person thereon. The device may be oriented in various orientations including: 1) a rocking orientation wherein the curved portions of the pair of rails abut a surface on which the device is placed such that the device may move in a rocking motion relative to the surface and 2) a stationary orientation wherein the first end member and the second end member abut the surface on which the device is placed such that the device is stationary relative to the surface.

Abstract: A container assembly comprises a first member defining an interior containment space and having an access opening thereto, a second member dimensioned to encompass said first member, and a third member that interconnects said first member and said second member. The first and third members are connected along a first axis such that the first member is rotatable about the first axis relative to the third member. The second and third members are connected along a second axis such that the third member is rotatable about the second axis relative to the second member. The first axis is generally orthogonal to the second axis.

Abstract: A serving tray assembly includes a serving platter and a receptacle platter. The serving platter has a central aperture extending there through and a serving area defined between the central aperture and a perimeter thereof. The receptacle platter has a bottom and a peripheral wall extending from the bottom at a perimeter thereof. The serving platter and the receptacle platter are releasably coupled to one another.

Abstract: A cutting board assembly comprises a cutting board; a frame for supporting the cutting board thereon; and a drawer having a length, a width, and a depth defining a containment space for containing food therein, and having measuring increments marked along a length or a width thereof. The drawer is supported by the frame for sliding movement between a retracted position, in which the drawer is substantially retained within the frame and the containment space is substantially covered, and a protracted position, in which the containment space is substantially uncovered. A volume of food retained within the containment space may be measured using the increments marked along the length or the width of the drawer.

Abstract: Various new designs for a power strip. Each design includes some structure that enables the mounting or attachment of the power strip to an object or portion of the object. The object may include, for example, a Christmas tree, such as the trunk or a branch thereof. Another object may comprise, for example: a portion of a stud in the frame of a building that is under construction, in which case the power strip may be plugged into a generator at the construction site; and a portion of a work bench or work table.
