Abstract: A packaged food product may incorporate an angled back card to improve stability by providing an enlarged footprint when the package is standing upright, i.e., vertically oriented. The angled back card can provide a wider base of support between the front of the product and the back card to improve the ability of the package to be self-supporting in an upright position, i.e., to stand up reliably on a shelf without leaning on other structures for external support. The package may be generally dumbbell-shaped as viewed from the front and/or from other angles, and may comprise a center portion that is narrower and/or shallower than adjacent end portions. This may facilitate handling of the product by the consumer and also may help to provide the product with an impactful appearance and theme at retail when the product is viewed from the front and/or from other angles.

Abstract: A method of marketing food items may include displaying in an upright, on-edge orientation on a horizontal shelf in the retail establishment a plurality of generally dumbbell-shaped packages with high-protein food items. The package may be generally dumbbell-shaped as viewed from the front and/or from other angles, and may comprise a center portion that is narrower and/or shallower than adjacent end portions. This may facilitate handling of the product by the consumer and also may help to provide the product with an impactful appearance and theme at retail when the product is viewed from the front and/or from other angles. The product may include high-protein food items, consistent with the theme established by the shape, and may include prominently-displayed information about the protein content of the food items.

Abstract: A bath brush includes a brush element, having an elongated arm and a brush head. The elongated arm has a longitudinal groove formed in a first side of said arm and a locking device formed on a second side opposite the first side. The brush handle provides a hollow cavity for receiving the arm therein and includes a rib configured to be received in the longitudinal groove formed on the arm. At least one recess or opening is provided on the handle for receiving the locking device therein. The arm is convertible between an extended position and a retracted position. The locking device and the recesses and/or openings formed on the brush arm and handle, respectively, g are configured to cooperatingly engage and selectively lock the brush's arm within the handle in both the retracted position and the extended position.

Abstract: An adjustable infant carrier includes a waist belt disposable about the waist of the wearer. A pair of shoulder straps is coupled to the waist belt, wherein each shoulder strap includes a free end portion and an opposed proximal end portion coupled to the waist belt. A carrier body is coupled to the waist belt and is connectable to the shoulder straps. The carrier body includes a middle section and a pair of conversion flaps disposed on opposed sides of the middle section. Each conversion flap is selectively transitional between a narrow configuration, wherein a free end portion of the conversion flap is connected to the middle section, and a wide configuration, wherein the free end portion of the conversion flap is connected to the waist belt.
