Abstract: A closure for a container has an integral tether section of the closure skirt attached to a tamper band at frangible sections. In the open position, the tether section has a free length providing for a plurality of resiliently docked closure positions retaining the closure on the container and not interfering with the transfer of contents therefrom.

Abstract: A hoop for play and exersise activities is provided that may be collapsed for easy transport and storage.

Abstract: A foldable closable food plate and storage container is provided, said plate maintains planar stability in the open position under load yet may be folded to create a container with an integral lid.

Abstract: A fish landing net for landing heavy fish from an elevated location includes a flexible retaining hoop having a normal open position. A netting has an open end carried at the hoop periphery and a depending closed end providing an enclosure for securing and carrying the fish. A lifting rigging is attached by three outwardly and downwardly extending rope sections to the hoop for raising and lowering said hoop member at the elevated location. The hoop has an initial prestressing establishing the open position and is locally anneals at the attachment sites for permitting inwardly deforming of the periphery under loading conditions of the fish in the netting thereby resulting in an inward constricting of the hoop opening during landing of the fish.

Abstract: A collapsible toy hoop having a circular open position that may be whirled about ones body for entertainment and exercise activities. The flexible hoop may be collapsed down from the open position into 3 smaller concentric sub-hoops to facilitate ease of storage and transportability.

Abstract: A flexible fish landing net for use from a substantially elevated position relative to the water line(10) is provided which includes a netting material(15), flexible rim(20) having reinstating force and a connecting rope assembly(30) for raising and lowering the net. During use the flexible rim material deflects inwardly under application of weight in the net thereby reducing the exposure of the net aperture.
