Abstract: A support system for use with a portable electronic device comprises a base, a resiliently deformable support member, and a resiliently deformable invertible member. The invertible member is connected to the support member and invertible between a retracted position having a convex configuration overlapping the support member provided on the base and having a convex configuration projecting outwardly from the base and an extended position inverted from the convex position wherein the invertible member has a concave configuration projecting outwardly from the support member. Central portions of the support member and the invertible member together define an actuatable portion. The actuatable portion is operable by depression thereof when the invertible member is in the retracted position thereof to inwardly deform the central portions of the invertible member and the support member so as to initiate inversion of the invertible member from the retracted position to the extended position.

Abstract: Container includes a base and a lid. The base has a base rim forming a base channel including a bottom wall, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall to define a channel space, a lock projection extending into the channel space from a first portion of the base rim, and a lever projection extending substantially outwardly from a second portion of the base rim. The lid has a lid rim forming a lid channel including a bottom wall, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall. The lid has a closed position in which the lid channel is aligned with and disposed at least partially within the channel space. The lever projection is configured to pivot upon application of an external force to cause the lock projection to move out from the channel space and to urge at least a portion of the lid rim out of the base channel.

Abstract: Foldable container including a base having a first base portion and an opposing second base portion. The base has a base surface free of hinge lines between the first base portion and the second base portion. A sidewall surrounds at least a portion of the base and extends generally upward from the base with a non-uniform height to define a compartment. A rim having a first rim portion and an opposing second rim portion is disposed proximate the top edge of the sidewall. At least one transition region is formed in the sidewall to allow the first base portion to pivot between an open position and a closed position. When in the open position, the container defines a plate. When in the closed position, the first base portion defines at least a portion of a cover relative to the second base portion. A packaged product is also provided, including a foldable container and a cover member removably attached to the rim of the foldable container in the open position to contain a product therein.
