Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an apparatus. In some aspects, the apparatus includes a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to the first arm at a hinge. The apparatus further includes a first blade coupled to the first arm and a second blade coupled to the second arm. The first arm and second arm are spaced apart to provide a cavity for receiving sheet material to be cut by the first and second blades. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: One feature pertains to a device that includes a main body having a bottle-receiving end that receives an end of a bottle having a mouth and forms an airtight seal between an exterior surface of the bottle and an interior air cavity of the main body. The device also includes an actuator assembly that drives a stopper securement device into a stopper positioned within the mouth of the bottle and retracts the stopper securement device to remove the stopper from the mouth of the bottle. The device also includes a vacuum pump that evacuates air out of the interior air cavity and the bottle's headspace after the stopper has been removed to create a vacuum within the headspace. The actuator assembly may also drive the stopper securement device and the stopper back into the mouth of the bottle to reseal the bottle while the headspace is under vacuum.

Abstract: One feature pertains to a device that includes a main body having a bottle-receiving end that receives a bottle and forms a substantially airtight seal between the main body and an exterior surface of the bottle surrounding a mouth of the bottle. The bottle-receiving end has a bottom opening to allow for fluid-flow communication between an interior air cavity of the main body and a headspace of the bottle. The device further includes a stopper securement device, and a vacuum pump that evacuates air out of the interior air cavity and the headspace to create a vacuum or partial vacuum within the headspace. The device also includes a means for inserting the stopper into the mouth of the bottle using the stopper securement device after the vacuum pump evacuates air out of the interior cavity and the headspace.

Abstract: A securement device that includes a main support having a top surface, and a vertical support having a rear surface, front surface, inner edge, and outer edge. The vertical support's inner edge couples to the main support's top surface such that the main support is orthogonal to the vertical support. The securement device further includes an auxiliary support having a top surface, bottom surface, and inner edge, where the auxiliary support's inner edge couples to the vertical support's outer edge such that the auxiliary support is orthogonal to the vertical support. The main support has a first side-edge that extends out beyond a first side-edge of the vertical support to define a first side-top surface of the main support, and a second side-edge that extends out beyond a second side-edge of the vertical support to define a second side-top surface of the main support.

Abstract: One feature provides a portable storage apparatus that comprises a frame, a hanger rod, a shoe shelf, and a drawer. The hanger rod, the shoe shelf, and the drawer are coupled to the frame. The hanger rod is adapted to receive and support garment hangers and garments. The shoe shelf is adapted to receive and support shoes. The drawer includes a cavity that may receive and store a plurality of objects, including clothing, toys, and books. The shoe shelf may include two surfaces that are angled with respect to each other and the ground. The drawer may be either a one-way drawer that opens from the front side of the apparatus or a two-way drawer that opens from the front and the rear of the apparatus. The apparatus may further comprise a plurality of wheels that are attached to the bottom of the apparatus to allow for easier mobility.
