Abstract: A tray unit includes a main body including at least one storage space and a wall structure surrounding the at least one storage space. The wall structure includes a bottom wall and a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall to define the at least one storage space. The tray unit further includes a magnet arranged with the wall structure at a location along a perimeter of the main body.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pour and seal assembly and method of using the same. The assembly includes a closure configured to seal an opening of a food stuffs container including a lid configured to securely cover an opening to a container holding food stuffs, a lid collar configured to, in part, form the opening and further configured to engage the lid and seal the opening to the container, and an internal collar configured to be arranged at least partially in the lid collar and to hold a portion of the container against the lid collar and further, in part, seal the opening to the container.

Abstract: A portable supply container with a concave upwardly open bottom shell, a cover hinged to one side of the bottom shell and adapted to selectively cover the opening the bottom shell, and a downwardly facing concave top shell. The top shell has a first portion secured to the cover along one end and two sides, and a second portion connected to the first portion by a transverse hinge between the two sides. A first releasable connection is provided between the cover and the bottom shell on the other side of the bottom shell, and a second releasable connection is provided between the top shell second portion and the cover on the other end. The outer surface of the bottom shell has a non-slip surface having a different tactile feel than the outer surface of the top shell.

Abstract: Adjustable measuring cups include a housing having a peripheral wall having an open upper end, an outer surface, an inner surface, and a bottom surface. The adjustable measuring cups also include a platform slidably movable within the housing, and an adjustment wheel rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the housing. The platform has an upper surface and a lower surface. A plurality of connecting rods can be connected to the adjustment wheel, and can also be connected to the lower surface of the platform. The measuring volume of an adjustable measuring cup can be defined by the open upper end, the inner surface of the housing and the upper surface of the platform. The platform slidably moves when the adjustment wheel is rotated, thereby adjusting the measuring volume of the measuring cup.

Abstract: A pastry blender that includes a handle, a plurality of arcuate cutting wires attached to the handle, and a plurality of arcuate blending wires that are also attached to the handle. The pastry blender can also include a scraper that removably connects to the cutting wires and the blending wires.

Abstract: Rolling pins of the present invention generally have a core, a rolling surface disposed on the outer surface of the core, a shaft that extends through the core, a first handle, and a second handle. The shaft has a first handle section, a second handle section, and a central section, and also has a shaft length greater than the core length. The handles are removably connected to the handle sections of the shaft. Preferably, the handle sections of the rolling pin shaft have locking features, and the handles have catches that releasably engage the locking features. The rolling surface is made from, or contains, thermoplastic elastomer. In at least some embodiments, the rolling surface can be a sleeve that slides onto the outer surface of the core and is secured to the ends of the core by end caps.

Abstract: Document storage trays are disclosed that may be stacked in at least two different configurations including a “nesting” stack where an upper tray fits within the storage area of a lower tray and, in turn, is also able to receive a tray within its own storage area so that multiple trays can be stacked nested together. The document storage trays may also be stacked in a vertical configuration and the trays include appropriately placed slots, detents, bosses and legs for a stable vertical stacking configuration so that multiple trays may be stacked one on top of another and form a stable structure. At least one embodiment further enables the trays to be stacked in a cascaded form so that front edges of the trays are staggered laterally from the bottom tray to the top tray. At least one embodiment includes a built-in collating function so that each tray is able to receive documents from one of two different and perpendicularly oriented sides.
