Abstract: A brush for applying a cleansing compound with an inner body having a tube portion with outer proximal threads. The tube portion has an opening for filling the tube portion with the cleansing compound and an enclosed bottom having a central guide tooth receptacle and a plurality of discharge holes. The brush has a brush portion including a plate having at least one upstanding standoff, a central guide tooth, and a plurality of depending bristles. The plate has a plurality of dispensing holes and an upstanding collar configured to secure the plate against the enclosed bottom of the inner body. The central guide tooth fits into the central guide tooth receptacle to guide rotation of the brush portion with respect to the inner body. In an open position, the plurality of discharge and dispensing holes are aligned so that the cleansing compound passes into the plurality of depending bristles.

Abstract: A container has a rigid closed bottom panel, a rigid open upper rim, and a peripheral sidewall extending between the panel and rim and flexible to enable conversion of the container between a collapsed state and a vertically extended state. A pair of rigid members are permanently and pivotally connected to the bottom panel at hinges and are pivotable about the hinges from a stored non-functional position wherein they lie under the bottom panel when the container is in the collapsed state to a functional position wherein the members engage the upper rim to secure and maintain the container in the vertically extended state.

Abstract: A fire pit has a tub with a hollow interior chamber for receiving ash-producing combustibles. The chamber has a perforated bottom portion. A support is adapted to attach to the tub and be removable therefrom without the use of tools. The support has an ash-collecting compartment disposed directly below the perforated bottom portion when the support is attached to the tub. The support is adapted to support the tub when attached thereto, and to receive hot ashes into the compartment which fall through the perforated bottom portion during combustion of the combustibles, so that the ashes can collect and cool within the compartment and then be transported with the removed support for remote disposal.

Abstract: A utensil for cleaning a cooking surface has cleaning head affixed to a distal end of an elongate handle. The head has a base and a porous cover. Submerging the head in a liquid enables the liquid to flow through the porous cover and perforations in the base into chambers within the base. Applying the head having the liquid-filled chambers against the cooking surface enables the liquid to flow from the chambers and through the perforations and continuously dampen the porous cover.

Abstract: A multi-purpose cooking grate has a planar perforated grid with a flat grilling side and a pizza-cooking side. The pizza-cooking side includes features to support a pizza-cooking stone such that a vertical distance is maintained there-between, and locators to engage the periphery of the stone so that it is horizontally restrained.

Abstract: An apparatus for attaching a tag to an object. The apparatus may include a body. The apparatus may also include an attachment arm, the attachment arm having a locked position and an unlocked position, and the attachment arm lockably closing to form a first closed loop with the body when the attachment arm is in the locked position. The apparatus may also include a tag loop mechanically coupled to the body. The apparatus may also include a detent arm mechanically engaged with the attachment arm in the locked position of the attachment arm, the detent arm configured so that an application of a force to the detent arm simultaneously unlocks the attachment arm and opens the tag loop.
