A planar dispenser cover is arranged above the receptacle and has an internal volume with water channels separate from one another therein. A plurality of water channels are routed to a lateral outer side of the dispenser cover where they form channel openings, wherein a plurality of water channels are brought together in the dispenser cover. A water drain channel has an outlet opening above the first receiving chamber. Metering pumps are arranged at the channel openings on the lateral outer side.

Abstract: A shock absorbing component for a luggage wheel is disclosed. In one practice, the component comprises a resilient circular member comprising an outer circumference; a center hole comprising an incompressible sleeve inserted into the center hole and configured to receive a wheel axle; and a plurality of openings radially disposed between the outer circumference and the center hole, the plurality of openings configured to resiliently deform to absorb shock when the circular member is subjected to force along its longitudinal axis. A wheel assembly for an article of luggage and an article of luggage comprising the shock absorbing component are also separately disclosed.

Abstract: A stabilized luggage article is disclosed. In one practice, the luggage article comprises a plurality of swiveling wheel assemblies, each assembly comprising one or more wheels having a horizontal axis of rotation and mounted to a pivot member, such as a pivot post that has a vertical axis of wheel rotation; the vertical axis of rotation is laterally spaced from the horizontal axis of rotation and is projected outwardly toward the front wall of the luggage but not beyond it, the pivot post extending downwardly at least to the level of the horizontal axis of wheel rotation, preferably beyond it for further increased stability.

Abstract: A cleaning implement includes: a handle; and a mop-head plate with a central element which is connected in an articulated manner to the handle, and with a first pivot wing and a second pivot wing, the first pivot wing and the second pivot wing being attached in an articulated manner to the central element, the first pivot wing and the second pivot wing being pivotable between a mopping position, in which the first pivot wing bears against a first main side of the central element and the second pivot wing bears against a second main side of the central element, and a receiving position in which the first pivot wing and the second pivot wing hang down from the central element. The central element includes locking means configured to lock the first pivot wing and the second pivot wing in the mopping position.

Abstract: A container for pourable foodstuffs has a base, a side wall connected to the base and surrounding a storage chamber. An elastic cuff is connected with a first end to the side wall and has a second end with an opening. The cuff width decreases from first to second end along a longitudinal container axis. The elastic cuff can be pushed into and pulled out of the storage chamber. A sealing element shaped as a stopper can be inserted into the opening for closing the container and has a shank portion matched in shape and size to the opening such that sealing abutment of a shank portion surface against surfaces of the elastic cuff adjoining the cuff opening is established in a contact region of the shank portion when the stopper is inserted. The shank portion has an end with a thickened portion thicker than the contact region.

Abstract: A shaker has an outer container and an inner container moveable inside the outer container. The outer container side wall has an opening through which a first portion of the inner container side wall can be grasped. A space between the outer container side wall and the inner container side wall accommodates an energy accumulator. The inner container, at rest, is pressed with the first portion of the inner container side wall against the opening in the outer container side wall by the energy accumulator and covers the opening. The inner container is movable, counter to the energy accumulator force, transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the outer container into a displacement position. The inner container has a discharge opening which, when the inner container moves away from the rest position, is moved across a sieve provided in the dispensing opening of the outer container floor.

Abstract: A manual fruit press has first and second lever arms and a joint connecting first ends of the lever arms to each other. The second ends of the lever arms opposite the joint have handgrip pieces. The first lever arm has a cup-shaped depression forming a strainer with support block and arranged between handgrip piece and joint. The second lever arm has a press element as an integrated molded component thereof. The press element is a cup-shaped depression projecting downward beyond the handgrip piece of the second lever arm. The press element, when the first and second lever arms are moved toward each other, is lowered toward the support block of the strainer and exerts pressure on a piece of fruit inserted into the pressing chamber between strainer and press element. A collection cup is releasably connected below the strainer to the first lever arm or the strainer.

Abstract: A plastic mixing bowl has a bowl body with a bottom side and an elastic annular seal that is provided with a peripheral region that in radial direction of the annular seal is positioned inwardly and is connected air-tightly to the bottom side of the bowl body. The annular seal has a lip extending from the peripheral region at least partially in radial direction outwardly. The lip is moveable into various positions and has a lower side forming a placing face by which the mixing bowl is supported on a setup surface. Annular seal and bottom side of the bowl body form together a suction cup that delimits a cavity varying in size depending on a position of the lip. The annular seal is repositionable from a position of use to a non-use position and in the non-use position bears flat against an exterior surface of the bowl body.

Abstract: A portable food container has a plate-shaped base part and a cover to be positioned on the base part. Locking elements are provided on the base part and are movable in each case via a fixed pivot pin connected to the base part. Contact surfaces are configured on the locking elements and the locking elements are non-positively and/or positively in engagement with corresponding contact surfaces on the cover in the locked position. With a lowering movement into the base part and through downwardly facing actuating lugs, the cover actuates the locking elements which move at the same time out of the open position into their locked position.
