  • Patent number: 11825936
    Abstract: The present disclosure document is directed to an extendable, collapsible table. The table includes a table top with at least one pair of legs extending pivotably from its underside and at least one pair of extension panels. The extension panels are configured to be attached as shelves to slots on vertical table edges or on the horizontal table top face, or configured to be stored in slots on bars between the pairs of legs. For transport, the pairs of legs, with or without stored extension panels, are pivotably retracted. A user pulls a handgrip near one side of the table top to roll the transportable system using at least one wheel near an opposite side of the table top. The transportable system operates as a dolly when one extension panel is coupled to the horizontal table top face in a location nearest the at least one wheel.

  • Publication number: 20230129612
    Abstract: Dispensing devices and systems for dispensing materials into a host vessel, optionally containing a host substance, are provided. The dispensing devices are removably attachable, in whole or in part, to a host vessel such as a water bottle or an alcohol bottle. The dispensing devices generally include a rotating capsule (perhaps with a quantity of flavor or nutritional supplements in the capsule) that can be rotated to a position to dispense the contents of the capsule into the host vessel. Depending upon configuration, the act of dispensing may involve squeezing, shaking, or the simple passive step of permitting gravity to act on the contents of the capsule.

  • Patent number: 10180013
    Abstract: Various implementations include a fully collapsible and portable tent. For example, in various implementations, the tent includes a frame assembly that includes two or more frame members and two hubs spaced apart from each other. Ends of the frame members are coupled to the hubs. At least one of the frame members is pivotably coupled to the hubs via pivotable brackets. The pivotably coupled frame member pivot about a first axis extending through each end of the pivotably coupled frame member and the respective pivotable bracket, and the pivotable brackets pivot about a second axis extending through the pivotable bracket and the respective hub, wherein the first axis is spaced apart from the first axis. The pivotable brackets allow the tent to be moved between the collapsed and expanded positions quickly and with minimal effort.
