Abstract: A collapsible storage device includes a collapsible container and a lid for the container. The container includes a plurality of resilient wall panels and a flexible hinge connecting each adjacent pair of wall panels. The container may be foldably converted between a substantially flat collapsed position and a substantially rectangular prismatic expanded position by articulating the wall panels about the flexible hinges. One side of the lid is adapted to cover an opening into the container when the container is in an expanded position. The opposite side of the lid is adapted to receive the substantially flat collapsed container within a recess in the lid.

Abstract: A storage bag having a recloseable mouth, which is biased into an open configuration, is disclosed. The bag, typically manufactured from thermoplastic material such as low-density polyethylene, includes first and second adjacent layers joined or folded along bottom and side edges. The top edges are not folded or permanently joined, but are provided with closure members such as mating male and female zipper strips. The bag is further provided with structure to bias the top edges apart from one another thus biasing the mouth of the bag into an open configuration. The closure members are sufficiently strong to overcome the force of the biasing structure and thereby hold the bag closed when the closure members are engaged. However, upon disengagement of the closure members the basing structure forces the bag top edges apart to thereby place the bag into an open mouth configuration.

Abstract: A dispenser for sheet material comprises a box including a lid section and a container section, wherein a portion of the lid section overlaps a panel of the container section. The dispenser further includes a slot formed in the portion of the lid section wherein the slot extends parallel to a longitudinal extent of the box. A track assembly is disposed on the portion of the lid section adjacent the slot and a slider is disposed on the track assembly, wherein the slider includes a cutting device extending toward an inside of the box.

Abstract: A dispenser for sheet material includes a box and a cutting apparatus attached to the box, wherein the cutting apparatus includes a track assembly and a slider assembly disposed on the track assembly for movement therealong. The track assembly includes a base and a rail extending from an outer side of the base and terminating in a portion having an oval cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A reclosable fastener assembly includes first and second elongated closure elements that are engageable to form a seal. A slider is slidable relative to the closure elements between an open position and a closed position and is adapted (i) to engage the closure elements to one another when moved across the closure elements toward the closed position and (ii) to disengage the closure elements from one another when moved across the closure elements toward the open position. The slider carries a first partial indicator. A second partial indicator is located relative to the closure elements so as to complement the first partial indicator to form a visual indicator when the slider is in the closed position.
