Abstract: A dispensing container for bead products includes a lid and a bottom part. Pulling back the lid exposes the interior of the container where the bead products are located. Recess, ridge and funnel structures at the front of the bottom part provide for feeding the beads one at a time or in a stream when the lid is pulled back. One form of the container is rectangular wherein the lid is pulled back longitudinally. Another form is V shaped wherein a shutter is provided at the end of one of the legs of the V.

Abstract: A package for storing and dispensing edible film strips comprising a tray and lid that slide relative to each other between open and closed positions. The tray may include a ridge spaced from the front edge of the tray to direct film strips upward in advance of the front edge as they are pushed forward. Stops may be provided to retain the lid in a closed position and inhibit travel of the lid beyond a predetermined open position. Exterior surface structure may be provided on the tray and lid to facilitate manual engagement.

Abstract: A game board apparatus (10) includes a channel (12) that contains and guides a game position marker (11) to a game position marker station as selected by a game player. An access channel (28) serves to provide convenient access to both the marker (11) and the channel (12) to facilitate such selected movement and positioning. Pressure exerted on the apparatus in the vicinity of the game position marker (11) will cause the game position marker (11) to close an electric circuit that includes two opposing electrodes (13 and 15). Completion of this circuit in turn can serve to energize a corresponding alert (such as a visual cue, an auditory cue, and the like). In a preferred embodiment, two such game boards are coupled one to the other to facilitate game play.
